The Chifeng Mountains consist of thousands of high mountains.
Twenty-five thousand White Tiger soldiers were left in Fengzhou.
In this mountain range, almost all the White Tiger soldiers in the White Tiger Camp are stationed at the highest point of the mountain.
what does that mean?
This means that once the Xisha Dynasty raises its troops to attack, those at the forefront of the battlefield will be the White Tiger soldiers who were assigned to Fengzhou to assist in the defense under the order of the late emperor!
Of the 800,000 Shen soldiers, not one of them is a foreigner outside Jinzhou. They all come from one million households in Jinzhou, and all of them are young adults in the "flowering season" of their lives. In order to maintain the success of this undefeated army, With invincible fighting power, the grain fields and shops of Jinzhou people are all managed by old, weak, women and children.
If a family has a few extra sons, and one or two of them are "lucky" to not join the Shen family army, then these two men will have to be responsible for helping more than ten neighboring households in the surrounding area to farm and do stocking.
This is not because the Shen Jiajun treats the people of Jinzhou harshly, but because the Shen Jiajun once posted such a brief notice to the outside world——
"Without a country and a family, in order to protect Jinzhou's eternal inheritance, I hope that my sons in Jinzhou will be more bloody, and I hope that the people in Jinzhou will be more diligent."
Of course, it is impossible for Shen Wanjun to make the people of Jinzhou willing to abandon their selfishness and help him take care of the overall situation with just one or two words.
In order to create a virtuous cycle for Jinzhou to develop its military capabilities and for the people to live in peace, Shen Wanjun also obtained many special preferential treatment for Jinzhou from the royal family.
For example, the most prominent point is that Jinzhou taxes one tael of silver every year, and the other eight states tax three taels of silver every year. This preferential treatment alone can relieve a lot of pressure on the people of Jinzhou.
In other words, even if the recruitment of high-quality young adults to join the army will lead to a decrease in the overall labor force for households in Jinzhou to farm and open shops, and thus earn a few less silver taels, then the less earned part can be made up with the two taels less silver tax paid every year. .
As a result, Jinzhou's overall situation has formed a virtuous cycle of orderly progress and progress as early as the day Shen Wanjun was officially crowned king.
In addition, Shen Wanjun has many capable people under his command, and with all his resources, he can naturally provide a steady stream of fresh blood for Shen Jiajun.
The conversation changed.
Among the 25,000 White Tiger soldiers who assisted in the defense of Fengzhou, 50% were "veterans" who had followed Shen Wanjun and experienced the war period.
These 50% of the veterans finally managed to survive until the end of the war and return home with honor. However, before they could warm themselves up on the kang, they were recalled and assigned to Fengzhou.
The other 50% of the recruits are no better than the veterans. They are basically young talents carefully selected by the veterans. Everyone has a certain degree of martial arts talent, and they are not bad, otherwise they will not be able to replace them. The old White Tigers who died on the battlefield put on white armor and became the new generation of White Tigers.
And these young people in their late teens or early twenties, who had just grown up and could not do anything for their families, were taken out early and followed to Fengzhou to guard the mountains.
They have traveled thousands of miles and left their hometowns. They have not seen their parents for at least seven or eight years. Where they stay every day, they can eat a mouthful of sand with one mouthful. Although they have three meals a day on time, they only have food and wine every year. You can only eat it once during the New Year.
Even if Shen Wanjun gave them a lot of military pay, there would be nowhere to spend it in a place where nothing matters.
Why do you have to live such a harsh and harsh life at such a young age?
Isn't it just to gain some face for Jinzhou and to save the hard-won city land for Dayan? !
result.
result! ! !
They were not framed by enemies from other countries, but were framed by their own people!
These so-called own people are still the local colleagues in Fengzhou who should be on the front line at the top of the mountain!
We held the most dangerous line for you on the mountain and ate rice porridge and white porridge for a full twenty-three days.
But you are quite beautiful, with the aroma of wine wafting far away, meat, vegetables and fruits, and you even have free time to hold hands, sing, dance and compete for fun.
Are you just going to find a group of girls in the city building to warm your bed? !
The current scene fell into the eyes of the White Tigers led by Xia Hougong. It was impossible not to be angry. If Shen Jiajun hadn't been strict in running the army, with their "soldier" temperament, they would have shouted and charged with a knife!
There was no one guarding the fence outside the camp, so Xia Hougong led his troops and walked in without any obstruction.
Even when they marched to the outskirts of the gathered soldiers of King Feng, no one noticed that there was a group of "uninvited guests" here.
Xia Hougong raised his hand silently, and the more than a thousand White Tiger soldiers stopped instantly.
Immediately, Xia Hougong walked forward another five feet and came to a Feng Wang soldier who was standing on tiptoe to watch the competition. He reached out and patted his shoulder.
"Hey, don't make trouble. I still want to squeeze in. Haven't you seen so many people?"
This Feng Wang soldier twisted his shoulders and tried to twist Xia Hougong's hand off. He thought Xia Hougong was a colleague in the camp. Because he was short and couldn't see clearly from behind, he wanted to make room for him.
As a result, Xia Hougong's big hand seemed to be stuck on the soldier's shoulder. No matter how much the latter twisted his shoulder, he just couldn't get rid of it.
After a while, the soldier became anxious, frowned and turned around suddenly.
"I said, are you fucking sick?!"
After cursing and turning around, the soldier first saw a patch of snow-white in front of him, but it was obviously not a snow-white mask covering a person's face, so he moved his eyes upwards and was able to see the whole thing.
The moment he saw Xia Hougong's facial features clearly, the drunken soldier's brain suddenly woke up. The hand holding a bowl of wine began to shake. His throat surged and he swallowed saliva. A trace of panic quickly appeared on his gradually whitening face.
"Xia...General Xiahou..."
Xia Hougong stopped his hand and took a step back. With a thought in his mind, his pure energy immediately spread throughout his body.
"Silence!"
A voice filled with true energy exploded in King Feng's camp like thunder on the ground!
The originally lively crowd suddenly became silent, and the two soldiers in the center of the crowd stopped their movements and took the lead in looking towards the source of the sound.
Then thousands of King Feng's soldiers turned around in unison, and more and more people discovered that Xia Hougong and his army had arrived!
"Yes...it's General Xiahou!"
"Why did they come down the mountain?!"
"Didn't General Xiahou say before that they were not allowed to leave the top of the mountain under the orders of the King of Jin?"
"Even if food and supplies are tight, given the time, they should not have reached the point where they have run out of ammunition and food!"
"It's over, it's over, it's over now."
After a brief silence, another burst of extremely heated discussion broke out.
In the end, Zheng Yu led the two lieutenants in the camp to control the situation. As the crowd dispersed, Zheng Yu and the other three slowly walked up to Xia Hougong.
"General Xiahou."
Zheng Yu was on the same level as Xia Hou Gong, so he didn't need to hold his fists against his chest to salute during the march. He just casually cupped his hands and it was considered a greeting.
And compared to the panicked soldiers in the camp, Zheng Yu and his two lieutenants were obviously much calmer.
After all, they were the ones who directly reported the situation here to King Feng, so even if they knew Xia Hougong's intentions, they were still relying on King Feng's support.
