The next morning, Fang Zian began to select the accompanying troops. Everyone in the fire army office also knew that Fang Zian was going to the Kingdom of Jin, so once the news of selecting the accompanying troops was announced, there were many applicants from the three battalions, but Fang

Zian has his own selection criteria.

One of the standards is that the soldiers accompanying this trip must be completely trustworthy soldiers. This has always been the most important point for Fang Zian. Fang Zian knows that obeying orders, obeying commands, being loyal and reliable, and staying far away.

It is much more important than a strong body and strong martial arts skills. On this trip to the Kingdom of Jin, Fang Zian does not need his men to be elite and strategic, but needs them to be completely loyal and obey his command. Because the planning depends on himself and

Shi Hao was enough. Based on this standard, more than 800 military officers who signed up were selected and 300 people were screened out.

Of course, physical fitness and military skills are also required. This is also the second criterion. Those who are willing to endure hard training and have the best results, and who are physically strong are naturally better than those with poor skills, and those who are thin are what Fang Zian needs.

.This trip was heading north in the twelfth lunar month. The wind and cold were blowing, and we even had to face life-and-death fights. Without combat skills and a strong body, it was absolutely impossible. At this point, the remaining 500 people were screened out and 200 more were eliminated.

.

Finally, among the remaining 300 people, more than 30 people who were not good at riding were screened out. They were the only children in the family, or were the breadwinners of the family, or had young children. Another 60 or 70 people were screened out, and finally two people were left.

A guard of hundreds of soldiers and horses.

Fang Zian and all the selected soldiers also made it clear that this trip is not a tourist trip, and may cost their lives. If you are timid and afraid of danger, you can withdraw now. Once the personnel list is confirmed, it will be reported to the court.

, then there will be no possibility of withdrawing. At that time, military discipline must be strictly followed. If someone violates military discipline, no matter how good the relationship is on weekdays, they will not be tolerated.

What made Fang Zian happy was that none of the two hundred people chose to quit. Instead, they were gearing up one by one with a hundredfold confidence. Of course, the soldiers' confidence actually came from Fang Zian. Fang Zian was actually already the leader in the hearts of the entire firefighting army.

He is a god-like existence. Lord Fang's various actions since taking charge of Fangyu Military Yamen have convinced them. Fangyu Military Yamen has become a fire military Yamen, and its status is no longer comparable to what it was before. Walking on the street, the common people

I really like them and greet them very kindly. This kind of treatment is completely unavailable to other imperial guards in the capital. This alone is enough to be proud of. Nowadays, the changes in all aspects of the material equipment of the fire army and the imperial guards have been compared with those of the imperial guards.

There is almost no difference. These satisfactions, both in terms of treatment and psychological satisfaction, are all due to Mr. Fang's good leadership. Naturally, everyone is convinced by Fang Zian. This time, although Mr. Fang said there might be danger in going north, Mr. Fang was not afraid.

What are you afraid of? It would be your honor to go to the Kingdom of Jin with Mr. Fang as an envoy.

Li Dalong, Lei Hu, Zhao Gang all hope to go with Fang Zian, but someone in the yamen must take charge of daily affairs, so one must stay. Fang Zian

I hope Li Dalong will stay and take charge of the affairs of the yamen, because Li Dalong is more stable and cautious, and his actions are reassuring. Li Dalong really hopes to go. The last time there was a fire in Cining Palace, Li Dalong was not able to go through life and death with Fang Zian, and he felt guilty for a long time.

This time he really hoped to work with Fang Zian. Fang Zian had a heart-to-heart talk with him alone and told him that staying in the yamen to preside over military yamen affairs was actually helping him. Lei Hu and Zhao Gang were not as capable as him in managing affairs.

Once there is chaos in the military office, or if someone takes advantage of the loophole, it will be irresponsible to all fire brigade brothers. Therefore, his responsibility is heavy.

Li Dalong saw Fang Zian's resolute attitude and understood the painstaking efforts Fang Zian put into the fire service, so he had no choice but to agree. Lei Hu and Zhao Gang were happy to dance, finally being able to do something big with Mr. Fang. They were on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin, and this was a big job.

It is definitely a big thing that neither of them have ever done in their lives.

After the list of accompanying guards was determined, it was quickly reported. The imperial court officials also locked the list and informed the Kingdom of Jin through specific channels. When entering other countries, everyone must have an identity, otherwise they are invading privately. This

It is also the rule of diplomacy between the two countries.

The horses, armor, weapons, bows, arrows, firearms and various supplies allocated by the Shenwu Central Army were all in place. Fang Zian asked Zhao Gang and Lei Hu to be responsible for distribution and adaptation, as well as the preparation of loading the accompanying supplies into the truck. He himself went to Shi Hao's mansion to report

The progress of preparations. In the evening, Fang Zian rode out of the capital alone and rushed to the Wantou Village Manufacturing Bureau. He wanted to say goodbye to Qin Xiqing and Shen Ling'er.

As the sun sets, the wilderness outside the city becomes desolate and cold. There are large areas of unmelted snow in the mountains, mottled, black and white, ugly and lifeless. Fang Zian gallops his horse in this lifeless dusk.

, as if he was the only living creature between heaven and earth, and the rest were dead and cold things.

When he left the city, Fang Zian did not find anyone following him. In fact, during this period, the eyes that were everywhere spying on his whereabouts had disappeared. Maybe Qin Hui had already decided that there was no need to follow him anymore, and there was no need to look for opportunities.

Just kill yourself. After all, if you go to the Kingdom of Jin, you are going to die, and Qin Hui will not cause trouble.

Running eastward along the Qiantang River, Fang Zian's originally depressed mood gradually improved. Because it was the rising tide at this time, Fang Zian saw the rolling river tide, and the turbid waves were like thousands of troops rushing towards him.

The scene made Fang Zian feel open and excited. Although the tide in Qiantang at this time was not a spring tide, and it was far less spectacular than the spring tide in August, it was enough for Fang Zian to feel the vastness of the world and the surge of the tide.

The manpower is minimal.

Since time traveling, Fang Zian has never felt the same sense of crisis and pressure as he does now. Not only because of everything he faced during this trip north, the almost foreseeable personal dangers and difficulties, but also because of the big environment he was in.

The people of the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty had great worries and a sense of crisis about the future of this dynasty. Although Fang Zian knew the history, Fang Zian knew that the Song Dynasty would not be restored soon.

Despite the country's subjugation, he still continued to persist for nearly a hundred years. However, Fang Zian's feelings for the Song Dynasty at this moment were no longer the mentality of a bystander when he first came to your land. The Song Dynasty at this moment was more than just a symbol for Fang Zian.

, he truly lives here, feeling the magnificence of his mountains and rivers, feeling the simplicity and hard work of the people, and feeling the friendship and love of the people around him. This is his home, and Fang Zian cannot help but think about the future of this home.

For my own sake, I cannot help but strive to make this home a better place. This is already a heartfelt demand.

Qin Hui and his like, betrayed the country and collaborated with the enemy, killed many loyal ministers, and also castrated the future of the Song Dynasty. He must eradicate this traitor, clean up his roots with integrity, and let the Song Dynasty court embark on the road to true rejuvenation, instead of this

Such peace of mind at the moment. Because even if the Song Dynasty will not perish now, it has already laid the bitter consequences for its subsequent perdition. It is not too late to start working hard from now on. In the future, my children and grandchildren will still live here.

The children and grandchildren of those close friends who I know must also live. Fang Zian certainly does not want that, after a few generations, everyone will become slaves of the country's subjugation, be reduced to being invaded by foreign races, civilization will regress, and will be trampled and humiliated by them.

Tragic situation.

If it is said that every dynasty will perish, which is an inevitable law of history, Fang Zian's idea is that at least he can do something about it and try his best to do something, instead of letting it go and indifferent. Success

Regardless of whether it is true or not, at least you must have a clear conscience and work hard for it. Just like the rolling tide of the Qiantang River, Fang Zian must be a leader of the tide, and cannot follow the tide.

After thinking about something in his mind, Fang Zian laughed loudly on horseback like a fool. Looking at the spectacular scene of the rolling river tide, Fang Zian even sang loudly.

"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. Success or failure is in vain, but the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. The white-haired fisherman on the river is used to watching the autumn moon and the spring breeze, and happily meets each other over a pot of turbid wine. How many things happened in ancient and modern times

, it’s all a joke.”

Although this song is not very appropriate, Fang Zian feels full of pride in his heart and feels that this song is very suitable for the occasion. Through the ages, heroes have emerged in large numbers, one generation after another. Maybe time will make everyone disappear, but things in ancient and modern times

, What a hero does will never be forgotten by others. Even if it exists in laughter and talk, the green mountains are still there and the sunset is still there, everything has its own meaning.

Amidst the singing, as dusk fell, Fang Zian saw the bright lights on the riverside in the distance. That was where Wantou Village was located. The former Wantou Village was still a small town that turned dark at night.

It’s just a village, but now, the bright lights of the manufacturing bureau illuminate the night here. The fireworks from the blast furnace fill the air like clouds, the sound of tinkling iron, the sound of carriages and horses, and the noisy voices of people are far away.

Although it was noisy, it seemed to be full of vitality, vitality and happiness.
