"The humble Zhou Xing has met Mr. Fujun!" When Zhou Xing saw the other party, he quickly walked up and clasped his fists in salute.
"Hahahahaha," the Jiangyang prefect named Mao Hong laughed and said, "I have heard about the name of Zhou Hou for a long time, and today it is a great pleasure to see him. Come, I will introduce you to our Jiangyang sages."
"This is Cheng Yang, the magistrate of Jiangyang County."
"I've met Zhou Hou!"
"This is Su Jun, the patriarch of the Su family of Jiangyang."
Zhou Xing smiled as he met these dozens of people one by one, and couldn't help but feel puzzled. Although he is an otaku, he also knows that showing courtesy for nothing is either adultery or theft. After listening to the introduction from Governor Mao, almost all the prominent people in Jiangyang County gathered here. How could he not be shocked?
He doesn't think he has a distinguished status.
He is just a small pavilion prince. In terms of dignity, he is still under the county magistrate and magistrate, let alone the dignified county governor.
After drinking for three rounds, he finally understood this doubt in his mind.
It turns out that before this, Jiangyang County, from the prefect to the big families below, were always worried, fearing that one day refugees would suddenly break into Jiangyang County. Zhou Xing first defeated the powerful refugee thieves in a decisive battle under Deyang City, and then was appointed as the captain of Jiangyang by the governor of Yizhou. This made many people in Jiangyang County immediately raise their foreheads with their hands. Even Dao Tian felt pity for him and finally There is such a hero who can make everyone feel at ease to support everyone.
"Gao Junhou is the great hero who killed the national traitor Shen Xiu. It is our Jiangyang's great fortune to be an official in our Jiangyang today. I, Su, dare to give Gao Junhou a drink!"
"Your Majesty has defeated the homeless thieves. It really makes us excited to hear that Jiangyang County is small, but as long as your Majesty needs it, we and all of us will definitely support you with all our strength! Your Majesty, I, Lu, also give you a drink!"
"Marquis Zhou," Mao Hong asked Zhou Xing to sit next to him as soon as he arrived. At this time, he said to Zhou Xing with a smile on his face: "Do you think our Jiangyang sages are enthusiastic?"
"Passionate!"
"Hahahahaha," Mao Hong twisted his beard and laughed: "Our Jiangyang and your Bodao Kingdom are less than a hundred miles away. It's less than two hours' journey down the river. It's really Neighbors across the river. If the Jin Dynasty had not stipulated that officials should not leave the territory under their jurisdiction, I would have wanted to go over and pay a visit to you, the great hero who killed the national traitor Shen Xiu. Now, since Luo Shijun has appointed you as the Captain of Jiangyang and the Marquis of Zhou, After all, Deyang belongs to Guanghan County and is under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou. There is no better way to return to our Jiangyang side."
As soon as Mao Hong said these words, everyone in the courtyard nodded in agreement, and many people even shouted loudly.
"Oh, so you want me to be stationed in Jiangyang." Zhou Xing's heart brightened at this moment. He turned to look at Gongsun Sheng, who nodded slightly and winked at him.
Zhou Xing deliberately pondered for a moment, then said with a troubled face: "Deyang is the gateway to Pingfan and we, Jiangyang, must be on guard. Of course, since I, Zhou Xing, am the captain of Jiangyang, it is my duty to protect Jiangyang." It’s just that, tsk,”
"If you have any difficulties for the Marquis of Zhou, just ask. Although Jiangyang is small, it is still a county. As long as the Marquis of Zhou needs it, the folks and elders of Jiangyang will definitely solve it for the Marquis of Zhou."
"Count!" In the early morning, when the sky showed a little light, several loud voices came from the newly built military camp located in the northeastern corner of Jiangyang County.
"one two three……"
"Why is there one person missing, where is Duan Yu?" Murong Fu asked loudly with a cold face.
"Company Commander, didn't I tell you last night? Duan Yu was called out by Miss Gongsun last night."
"You haven't returned to the camp?" Murong Fu's heart seemed to be pricked by something at this time, and his face became even more ugly.
"Well, I never returned to camp."
"Fuck!" Murong Fu cursed in a low voice. Early in the morning, he called all the veterans and now the instructors who were training new recruits together. Actually, he just wanted to see if Duan Yu was back. After hearing the fact that worried him the most, he felt angry and hateful in his heart.
"Those new recruits, you should train hard for me. Whoever's team is the worst in the assessment will get the hell out of my company!"
"Hey, company commander, what do you think that art troupe is? How do you say that if you ask us to leave, you will ask us to leave alone." The person who spoke was called Zhou Laosan, who also joined the volunteer army from the beginning. old man.
"I don't know what that art troupe is." Murong Fu thought bitterly, but shouted loudly: "What do you care about that? The prince caught it himself. What are you doing with big eyes and small eyes? I still don’t know what you people are thinking. Isn’t it just that the beautiful girl over there makes you jealous? Go fuck me and practice as fast as you can. Earn some money and go back to your own village to find a wife. That’s business. Those in the art troupe, You toads, stop dreaming."
"Fuck, that guy Duan Yu is so big and thick, why did Miss Gongsun fall in love with him? He's so damn evil." Murong Fu, who was standing there, whispered depressedly as he watched those people quickly summon the new recruits he was responsible for training. muttered.
Since Zhou Xing returned from Jiangyang, with the strong support of those big families, Zhou Xing has been looking for money and people. He suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his path from the beginning. This world is the world of big families, not the world of small families. Although he didn't fully understand what was going on for a while, after receiving a large amount of money and food and quickly replenishing a thousand soldiers, Zhou Xing only left Qiao Feng's company in Deyang, and took the rest with him. A new camp was set up in Han'an County, Jiangyang County, less than a hundred miles away from Deyang.
This place is not only very close to Deyang, but also close to Zizhong County in Qianwei and Dianjiang County in Bajun. This time, not only Jiangyang County was very satisfied, but also Jianwei County and Ba County were very satisfied. Wang Zhan took the initiative and asked Ru Ban to send hundreds of kilograms of pig iron. Gu Ping, the governor of Bajun, was obviously not to be outdone, and sent his subordinates repeatedly to bring supplies to greet them. For a moment, Zhou Xing was simply flattered.
After receiving additional personnel, he did not plan to form an additional battalion for the time being, but instead formed a few more companies. After all, he is also an official of the imperial court now, and he must consider many things. Besides, besides Gongsun Shu, he didn't want to promote anyone else to become the new battalion commander for the time being. This is unfair to Gongsun Shu. Moreover, he still wanted to insist on the practice of officers being officers and non-commissioned officers being non-commissioned officers.
At the same time, after receiving so much substantial support, his mood became clear again.
Who said his efforts were in vain?
Who says that no one cares when he goes up a pole to help others?
The eyes of this crowd are sharp!
Under this great situation, Zhou Xing's thoughts began to come alive again. He decided to strike while the iron was hot and once again resorted to the killer weapon of publicity.
Moreover, after the last battle in Deyang, let alone Gongsun Shu, who had a long military tradition since childhood, even a layman like Zhou Xing saw many problems with the spear phalanx. The reason why he didn't stand on the front line to kill the enemy at that time was because he wanted to see what problems he had when faced with the reality of what he had created.
It has insufficient mobility and is weak in long-distance attacks.
Especially long range strikes.
It was probably the first time that the other party encountered such a well-organized phalanx, and they couldn't think of a way to deal with it in a hurry. But after Zhou Xing and Gongsun Shu discussed it afterwards, they came up with several ways to break this dense phalanx.
The most effective idea is to fight on the move and not to get close to this kind of phalanx. Just use a hard bow, or gather some powerful monks to attack with throwing weapons, and keep a good distance. With Zhou Xing's current staffing, I'm afraid it won't last long and this phalanx will collapse.
If he can think of it, then the other party will definitely be able to think of it. When it comes to this kind of life-and-death matter, no one is a fool.
When Zhou Xing was discussing with Gongsun Shu, he suddenly remembered what everyone liked to talk about in Shangluo: Ma Long, the Polu captain, was recruiting monks in Shangluo. Ma Long set a standard from the beginning, which was to give priority to recruiting five-stone hard bows that could draw the most powerful military weapon in the Jin Dynasty. This matter was just a story in Zhou Xing's mind before, but now that he thought about it, he suddenly had a clear understanding. Combined with all the known history of his two lives, one thing suddenly became clear in his heart.
Long-range strike is the king of the battlefield.
Relying on these more than 5,000 monks who could draw a five-stone hard bow, Malong swept through the two states of Yongliang and defeated hundreds of thousands of rebel Di barbarians in Liangzhou. Zhou Xing knew in his heart that if his phalanx met Ma Long's style of play, he would only be beaten passively. Without ten thousand people rushing into the formation, he might not even be able to get close to the opponent.
He could even say that without thousands or even tens of thousands of cavalry rushing into battle, the opponent's style of play would be almost harmless.
With the large number of horses owned by the Liangzhou Diman, they fought with Malong for half a year, and finally caused Malong to lose more than a thousand monks. This shows the success of Malong's tactics.
But the imperial court was the only one in the world to make the five-stone hard bow. When Zhou Xing thought about this, he didn't know whether he should be sorry or grateful. Although he also knew the structural diagram of a so-called divine arm bow, he had no idea in his mind what materials it should be made of to shoot the bow and arrow so far.
Moreover, there is the most critical point: people!
There are so many monks in Shangluo, and it was Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty Huangfu Yan who personally ordered Ma Long to recruit monks in Shangluo, which made countless monks flock to him.
Learn martial arts well and sell yourself to the emperor's family.
This has been the case since ancient times.
Whenever he thinks of this, Zhou Xing feels helpless in his heart. This time, although Jiangyang County immediately replenished the balance of his soldiers, as he expected, there was still no monk.
No monk would be willing to condescend to be a soldier under a little captain like him.
In terms of official positions in the Jin Dynasty, captain is almost the smallest official position. As for the length of the music below, it is not considered the imperial court's establishment at all.
Without the imperial establishment, even civilians would not want to be soldiers, let alone monks.
And he relies on himself to select people with spiritual veins among the common people for training. Firstly, he does not have so many spiritual valleys. Secondly, it takes too long to practice. It is Qiao Feng who has extraordinary understanding. With him on the side again, he was giving guidance, and he had just entered the door.
Mao Hong, the governor of Jiangyang County, had given him a pat on the back regarding the bow and arrow matter, but Zhou Xing had to find a way to solve the monk matter on his own.
Fooling.
All Zhou Xing could think of was this move.
They rely on publicity and literary and artistic works to trick young and energetic monks into joining.
"The slave family is originally from Mianzhu, and they sew mandarin ducks with their hands to miss their lover. They sleep in the morning under the paper tent on the rattan bed, and the agarwood intermittents intermittent with the coldness of the jade furnace. The best time has been determined and the day is still long. When will the mandarin ducks sleep on their necks with their breaths crossed?"
In a spacious barracks, a beautiful woman with a slender figure and a long skirt was doing embroidery while softly singing a thought-provoking song. This woman is none other than Xin Wan.
After Zhou Xing rescued Deyang that day, because of her father and brother, she immediately followed Gongsun Yanlingpu and others and took several servants who served her to help take care of the wounded. She worked hard to make up for her father and brother's refusal. Export error. She was originally pampered since she was a child. After experiencing a series of things like running away from home, she is no longer the silly sweet girl. After working with Gongsun Yan for several days, she gradually fell in love with this fulfilling feeling. She imitated Gongsun Yan, disguised herself as a man and hung out with her, busying around in the military camp.
However, compared to the cheerful Gongsun Yan, her personality is still much shy and weak. She takes Gongsun Yan as the leader in everything, as if she has become Gongsun Yan's follower, but she doesn't care at all. What made her even more strange was that her father and brother seemed to have not seen this and were indifferent to her behavior, which made her feel even more at ease.
Since that day, her father Xinran never mentioned anything about moving to Jingzhou. This kind of thing was not their family's business in the first place, not just the entire Xin family, but also many people from her hometown, and even many families in Deyang County now, with a total of more than 2,000 people. According to her brother, as long as so many people gathered together, they would move far away, and no one would dare to challenge them along the way. After arriving in Jingzhou, it was more than enough for everyone to form a camp to protect themselves.
After Zhou Xing arrived in Deyang, she was still worried at first. She was afraid that Zhou Xing and others would know what her father was doing secretly, and she was also afraid that her father would continue to do those things secretly. However, after she observed carefully for a few days, she gradually felt relieved. She even heard her father scolding his brother Xin Hui once, saying that with the fine troops of the people of Bodao here, Deyang was as stable as Mount Tai.
After Gongsun Yan received the new task assigned to her by the cultural troupe from Zhou Xing, she approached Xin Wan. The two worked hard for a few days, and also invited several little sisters who Xin Wan was usually close to and some maids from various families who served them. Whatnot, quite a few people gathered together. After several attempts, everyone agreed that Xin Wan had the best voice and she should be the heroine of this drama.
With her shy and soft personality, she would not have been able to get on such a stage. But this matter was originally organized by her and Gongsun Yan, and Gongsun Yan had more things to be busy with, so she couldn't shirk it, so she gritted her teeth and took it.
She heard that these lyrics were written by Zhou Xing and Gongsun Yan after consultation. When she first read it, her little sisters burst into laughter, but she blushed with embarrassment.
