In the backyard of the temple in Mianyang County, Yang Qingfang was finishing his breakfast when he heard someone asking to see him. After inspecting the Yangping and Shima construction sites in the past two days, he did not return to Nanzheng, but stayed in Mianyang for a long-term plan.
It's just that this decision was made not long ago, and outsiders still don't know that the prefect will be stationed in Mianyang for a long time. Who will come to visit this early in the morning?
Yang Qing was a little curious and hurriedly ordered Zhou Xing to call the person in. Unexpectedly, the person who came was actually an acquaintance of his. He quickly stood up to greet them and said with a smile, "Haha, it turns out it's the Gulichi clan leader and the Xian brothers. I didn't expect it to be you."
The visitors were Gu Lichi, the former patriarch of the Guli tribe in Yuexun County, and his two sons and daughters, Guliza and Gulina. Seeing them, Yang Qing remembered that the Guli tribe seemed to be settled in Mianyang.
"See you, Mr. Fu." Gu Lichi and the others hurriedly greeted him.
Yang Qingxu held up his hand: "You don't have to be polite, why did you come here?"
"I had already known that Fujun was transferred to Hanzhong, but I never had time to pay him a visit. Yesterday I learned that Fujun had arrived in Mianyang, so why not come and pay homage to him?" Gu Lichi replied.
Yang Qing invited them to sit down and said: "Haha, I will also put my official affairs in order. I planned to visit your tribe in the near future, but I didn't expect you to come today. I am really happy!"
"Master Fu, after knowing that you were transferred to Hanzhong as the prefect, all our clansmen are very happy. Everyone says that this is the favor of the imperial court to us, and you have been assigned to us as a parent officer." Guliza said.
Yang Qing smiled calmly and said: "This is all the arrangement of the imperial court, and I didn't expect it. But it's okay. You and I are very familiar with each other, and many things will be easier to handle in the future."
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, other tribes have nothing to do with you. As long as you give orders, I, the Guli tribe, will do my best to obey your orders." Gu Lichi patted his chest and said.
"This sounds soothing to me, and I feel at ease with you." Yang Qingdao: "It's been a while since I moved to Hanzhong. I wonder how your life is going?"
"Hanzhong is really great. I have never been to such a wealthy place!" said Gulina, who had not spoken for a long time. "The climate here is warm and the water is abundant. The government not only allocated land to us but also gave us seeds and agricultural tools. , this year’s harvest of the tribe is much better than before in Yuexun, and the tribesmen all say that they have hope in life.”
"Oh? Just divided the land?" Yang Qing asked with a smile.
"That's not all. The government has also set up a school for us. Children in the tribe can now go to school to learn Chinese and Chinese characters. In Chinese terms, they can become modest gentlemen." Gulina replied, tilting her head.
Yang Qing nodded and continued to ask: "By the way, how is your girl doing? Have you found a good husband in Hanzhong?"
Even though the Qingqiang people were bold and open-minded, when she heard Yang Qing's direct question, Gulina couldn't help but blush. She lowered her head first and then raised her head to glare at Yang Qing, which made Yang Qing feel confused.
"Haha, Mr. Fu, don't worry. My daughter has made an appointment with Buddy and will be getting married in two months. I hope Mr. Fu can come to attend their wedding." Gulichi thought that his daughter was shy. , so he replied.
Only Guliza knew what his sister was thinking, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, secretly thinking that Yang Fujun was a dragon and a phoenix among men, and his sister, a Qiang woman, was not worthy of him. Badini was the number one warrior in the tribe. It would not be considered a disgrace to his sister's status to marry him.
Yang Qing had no idea what it meant. Hearing that Gulina and Buddy were a couple, he said happily: "Buddy is brave and good at fighting, and Gulina is smart. They are a perfect match. I will definitely marry them." Gotta go."
"I am overjoyed that Mr. Yang can come." Gulina said lightly.
Gu Lina's expression was a little cold. Yang Qing thought that his daughter's family was shy and embarrassed, so he didn't notice her unnaturalness at all.
However, although Gulina had always had a good impression of Yang Qing, a Han man with both civil and military skills, she understood that she could not achieve it as a Qiang woman, whether it was the tribe's arrangements or her own thinking. Wishful.
Besides, Nabadi is also the first warrior of the Guli tribe, and he is devoted to her. When she suppresses her inner emotions,
Later, she realized that Buddy was a good match for her, and after all these days, she had no resistance to the marriage.
Although there was a slight ripple in my heart when I saw Yang Qinggulina today, after her deliberate suppression, there was nothing rude except for feeling a little regretful.
She has always had a cheerful and upright personality, burying the hint of affection in her heart, but there is no trace of loss on the outside. Therefore, even though Yang Qing observed her carefully, he still didn't notice anything strange about her.
"I heard that General Wang Ping is forming the Wudang Flying Army in the past few months. I wonder how many people from your Guli tribe are participating?" After talking about some family matters, Yang Qing got down to business.
Gu Lichi replied: "Your Majesty, there are two thousand warriors in our department who have joined the Wudang Fei Army."
The elite troops that the Guli tribe can usually dispatch are only about 3,000. This time they contributed 2,000 troops, which is enough to be called loyal to the king.
"Okay, your enthusiastic participation shows your loyalty to the Han Dynasty. After returning to Nanzheng in a while, I will definitely write a letter to praise you throughout the county!" Gulibu's sincerity was so great that Yang Qing I feel very happy.
Gu Lichi clasped his fists in thanks and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fu. This is what we should do."
The Guli tribe was the first tribe to surrender to Yang Qing. When they put down the Gaoding Rebellion, they charged forward and fought desperately, and made great contributions to the recovery of Yuexi. Therefore, others naturally regarded them as Yang Qing's trusted tribe.
Naturally, Yang Qing would not deny this, not to mention that he also advocated the strategy of relocating people from the southern and central tribes to build an army. Therefore, the Guli tribe sent two thousand people to join the Wudang Fei Army this time, which made him look bad. Guang, he knew in his heart that Fururibe did this because of his face, so he secretly recorded this favor.
Selecting warriors from the Qingqiang tribe who moved north to train sergeants was a strategy that was set when he was in Nanzhong. Zhuge Liang began to initiate this matter after the Guli tribe and more than 10,000 households of the Qingqiang tribe moved to Hanzhong County one after another.
And because these Qingqiang warriors were not only good at using crossbows and poisonous arrows, but they could also climb mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground, and they were fearless and unstoppable in battle. Therefore, Zhuge Liang named this unit Wudang Feijun.
Although these Qingqiang sergeants fought bravely, they did not understand the formation and military discipline of the Han army. Therefore, in March of this year, Zhuge Liang sent General Wang Ping to Hanzhong to take charge of the preparation and training of the Wudang Flying Army.
Although Wang Ping didn't know a few words, he was strict in character, spoke fairly, was good at managing soldiers, and often shared joys and sorrows with the soldiers, so he was very able to convince the crowd.
In addition, he not only participated in the war to pacify Nanzhong, but was also familiar with the Qingqiang tribe. Moreover, he was not a Han but a Taoist from Danqu County in Brazil. Therefore, he, a general who was not Han like the Qiang, came forward to compile the story. Practicing Wudang Feijun can dispel the doubts of the Qiang people and enhance the Qiang people's sense of closeness to their general.
According to the plan, Wudang Feijun must have at least 10,000 troops. At present, Yang Qing heard that Wang Ping already had several thousand men under his command, but he still didn’t know the specific strength, so he asked Xiang Gulichi: "You guys Do you know how many people there are in the Wudang Feijun now?"
Gulichi replied: "I don't know the details. Guliza also joined the Wudang Flying Army, so he should know."
"Brothers Guliza are also in the flying army?"
Guliza clasped his fists and said, "Jun Fu, I am currently serving as a captain in the army."
"Okay, it seems that I have to call him Colonel Guli from now on." Yang Qing said with a smile.
Guliza said he didn't dare, and said: "As far as I know, we currently have more than 5,000 soldiers without flying troops."
Yang Qing nodded, thinking that it was half done, and the estimated 10,000 troops next year should be fully staffed on schedule.
"Is General Wang Ping in the camp now?" Yang Qing asked again.
Guliza said: "In the camp, General Wang is diligent in official duties and stays in the camp almost every day to train the sergeants."
"Well, that's good. I have to make time to see him in the next two days." Yang Qing nodded.
Wudang Feijun's military camp is also in Mianyang. This time he came to Mianyang with a plan to meet Wang Ping.
Although the recruitment and training of the Wudang Fei Army are the responsibility of the Hanzhong Governor's Office and Wang Ping, as the Hanzhong prefect and the party involved in formulating the strategy of forming the Wudang Fei Army, he has every reason to interfere with the situation of the Wudang Fei Army, even if Wei
Yan knew that he had nothing to say when he went to inspect Wudang Feijun.
"Just say hello to your general for me and let him know first." Yang Qing added.
Guliza cupped his fists and responded: "Yes."
