Kill, kill, kill...

The shouts were as loud as the sky, and the sergeants whose uniforms were stained with snow were wielding swords and dancing under the wind and snow, and the rumble of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.

Randy was dressed in military uniform, with his right hand pressed on the handle of the knife, standing on the military point platform without any obstruction, observing the surrounding situation.

They are all his soldiers on and off the field.

He is a general, not a commander, and his training methods are very direct. The generals and soldiers share the hardships... If you can't train to death, then you will die. The training will not stop even in winter.

This kind of training method would have collapsed long ago if it were used by other armies, but half of the three thousand soldiers under Randy's command came out of the almshouse, and the other half also had a hatred of the country and the Jurchen.

There is no need for any reward, as long as Randy can lead them to rape and kill Jurchens, they can endure no matter how severe the suffering is.

"Master Marquis, you have heard of your visit!"

A general wearing a bodyguard and with icy eyebrows ran up to the military platform.

"Listen carefully?"

Randy frowned slightly.

Di Ting didn't want to see Ba ​​Xia, so why would the border generals want to see Di Ting.

Although the people of the Document Department do not explore the secrets of officials, their presence still symbolizes trouble.



"Long time no see, Lord Marquis!"

After the main tent was emptied, he saw Randy walking into the tent. Di Ting took off his mask as he came.

Seeing the person coming, Randy paused for a moment, then laughed loudly, and hugged him quickly, "Old man, for ten years, I thought you were dead!"

Bang bang bang!

While hugging and slapping him, his posture made him want to beat him to death.

"You don't know yet whether I'll die or not, but if I keep filming here, I'm probably going to die!"

Randy was pounding, and the man didn't stop working hard.

"Say it!"

Pushing the visitor away, Randy's face turned red, "Why are you here all of a sudden?"

The person in front of him was his childhood friend. In the war forty years ago, the Lan family led troops to guard the Youzhou defense line, while the other party's family was urgently transferred to Bingzhou. After the war, the Lan family was destroyed, and only the Lan family was placed in the city. Seven of the Di brothers and sisters survived, but the other party was not in good shape.

"Ten years ago, when I left Yuyang, I told you that when I return to Yuyang, it will be the day of our revenge. Now the opportunity has come. You are very lucky. His Majesty has chosen you!" The visitor changed his mind after a long absence. With the joy of reunion, he looked at his childhood friend with a solemn expression, "I just don't know, do you Randy still dare to fight?"

The strategy is right, but the risk remains. Regardless of success or failure afterwards, the troops who set foot on the three counties of Liaodong have a high probability of being buried in Liaodong.

"It all depends on how big your majesty is." Lan Di stared at the person coming, "If you can play Xuantu, Lan's life will be lost!"

"In that case, let's sit down and talk!"

The visitor pulled Randy to sit down and explained the matter in detail, "I have been rushing for three days and three nights for this news. This plan has a high probability of success. Even if it fails, it can still defeat the Jurchen conspiracy, but how?" Retracement will be the biggest problem. If there is no one left, everyone will be dumped. To put it cruelly, even if you are dumped, counting from the day you landed in Yingzhou, you will have to be active in Liaodong for at least two months. Every delay In one day, the Wu Dynasty’s interests will be even greater!”

You can think of the best, but you have to think of the worst. After landing, this is a lone army without any support and surrounded by enemies.

"Hahaha……"

Compared with Fa Xiao's solemn look, Randy kept laughing, "What do I think this is? Your Majesty is helping me realize my dream and giving me the power to destroy the country!"

Everyone has their own flaws, and Randy, who was orphaned due to blood feud, has even greater character flaws.

It can be a knife, but not a handsome one. No matter how sharp it is, it is just a knife!

But as long as he could kill Jurchens, Randy didn't care whether he was making a knife or being the knife-wielder.

"This plan still needs to be refined. I will lead the team deep into western Liaoning this round. All you have to do now is prepare. After the spring, the transfer order will be issued. Your troops will retreat to the Tianjin area for direct sea training!"

Randy nodded, "But you and I have gone to Liaoxi, what will happen to our families?"

The visitor only said to go to Liaoxi, but Randy knew very well that the other party would not come back, and there was a high possibility that he would follow them in the future.

"You and I have already been knighted, and we don't have to worry about it for three generations. If you want to take the merit of destroying the country, don't I?" The visitor put his foot on Randy's foot angrily, "Let's go, make preparations early, so as not to leave anything behind." Pity!"



In the afternoon, with the warm sun hanging in the sky, teams of all sizes gathered in the wilderness outside Tai'an City.

These teams vary in size and distinction.

There was a bustle in the city, with merchants, bankers, and housekeepers from the government crowding on both sides of the road, doing business at an unimaginable speed.

Hunting in winter is for military exploits and money.

The goods from deep mountains have been accumulated in the mountains for a year, and buyers outside the mountains have also been waiting for a year.

Teams are often formed temporarily. If the leader wants to divide the work, he must divide the money. Although there is a loss in the urgent purchase, no one will struggle with it, because after struggling for a while, the members of the temporary group will become irritable.

In the temporary shelter tent, Fang Fang was holding a few cherry-sized pearls in a plate, and was busy watching the excitement outside the account.

No one has trouble with money!

During this trip, he bought more than 800 kilograms of all kinds of mountain products, and dozens of kilograms of various medicinal materials, which could probably be sold for more than 400 taels of silver. The real value is the Dongzhu in his hand. It is not considered a high-quality product, but it is I also touched the edge of the top grade, and collected six in total. According to the rules, I paid one hundred and fifty taels. Of course, the real value is much more than this, but this is the leader's welfare. No one cares about the money when the equation is taken out.

"alright!"

Xiaohu led the three of them into the tent, and the government soldiers who were waiting on the side also rushed over.

"Hurry up, report it, and then divide the money!"

Looking at the soldiers carrying three bags of broken silver, Fang Fang sat firmly in his seat.

Xiaohu nodded and threw the broken silver in his hand directly on the seat, "I bought a total of 473 taels, including Dongzhu, the total is 673 taels. Fang Sheng will not participate in the distribution. There are twenty-nine of us in total." , seven real brothers who gave birth to a girl will be counted as two points, that is to say, they will be divided into thirty-six shares, and each share will cost eighteen taels or three, and there is no objection to splitting the money by name!"

Eighteen taels, which may seem small but is actually quite a lot. The annual salary of a school lieutenant is only this amount.

In the Wu Dynasty, if ordinary people did not practice martial arts or forge weapons, a family of six would only spend seven or eight taels a year. This did not include food rations. If they had land, they could save 18 taels for four or five years. , the average annual consumption will not exceed three taels, mainly cloth, oil and salt.

Looking at everyone who was silent but with hot eyes, Fang Fang smiled and said, "I know what you are thinking. If you are willing to keep the syrup secret, keep it secret. If you are not willing to do it casually, it takes time to make things happen. I know your list and place of origin. Here When it is done, I will naturally inform you that there are two work quotas for one family, six hundred coins a month, food and lodging included, if you are willing, come!"

Fang Fang never treats people as fools. These people have all drank syrup. It is impossible without calculation. Not accepting people is not considered enmity, but if they don’t take them with them to do the syrup thing, it will be unreasonable. .

Martial arts training is very expensive, including meat, wound medicine, weapons, horses, and participation in activities. A qualified soldier will invest no less than ten taels of silver in himself every year. Dozens or even hundreds of taels will not be enough. A little is a little.

The left and right workshops need people, so why not use them?

I opened this hole, firstly because of this fate, and secondly, to leave a little bit of incense and love. People don't live in the air. Reputation plays an important role in the society that people govern.
