Chapter 253 How many Di Qings were there in the Song Dynasty? (Here we go, second update!)

"Shuai Di, is our Song Dynasty's army so rubbish?"

Zhang Heng couldn't get an answer from Di Qing, so he asked again, which made Di Qing feel helpless: "You can't judge so simply!"

Zhang Heng asked: "Did they lose?"

Di Qing said helplessly: "It's true that we lost, but there were many influencing factors. For example, it was a night battle, cavalry versus infantry, or infantry without positions, and there was no unified command for five or six thousand people.

It is still an encounter, but it is no different from a sneak attack, and it is a vast playground that is most suitable for cavalry..."

Di Qing listed many reasons and tried to defend the army, but when he saw Zhang Heng looking at him with a half-smile, Di Qing finally lowered his head and said: "...Okay, you are right, this is most of the Song Dynasty

The level of the army."

Zhang Heng, however, did not feel proud of victory. He sighed and said: "I just trained these soldiers a little and gave them good horses and good weapons.

To be honest, in my eyes, they are not professional soldiers, in fact, they are more like players who play for money.

But even these amateur players, fighting against what was supposed to be professional soldiers, turned out to be a one-sided victory. Di Shuai, I don't know what to say when I see this scene."

After all, Di Qing felt uncomfortable and said: "Xianggong Zhang, in fact, they are not very bad. If the last general takes command, only a thousand people can maintain the undefeated situation..."

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "How many Di Qings were there in the Song Dynasty?"

Di Qing was in a daze for a moment, and then his eyes became firm again: "But there are not many cavalry like these under Zhang Xiang's command, even in the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms."

Zhang Heng hesitated: "Isn't it because the Baojie Army is too rubbish?"

Di Qing smiled bitterly and said: "The Baojie Army is certainly not the best army, but it is not the worst either. Moreover, these people are composed of the personal guards around the commander. They can be said to be the most elite and core combat force of the Baojie Army.

How could it be so bad?

Although there are various unfavorable conditions, if they are led by the last general, there will be no problem in facing Xixia's main army of almost the same number."

Zhang Heng's eyes lit up: "That means, are my personal guards really powerful in combat?"

Di Qing nodded and said: "First-class elite!"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Then it's not in vain for me to train them like this."

Di Qing looked forward to it and said: "Zhang Xiang, how did you train them? Can you train them in large quantities?"

Zhang Heng glanced at Di Qing and said, "As long as you spend money, it's okay."

Di Qing asked cautiously: "How much does it cost?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Let me calculate an account for you. One cavalryman is one person and two horses.

The horses are selected from the best. Since there are no formal channels to purchase them, the cost is extremely high. Each horse is purchased for at least 200 guan.

In addition to the standard of 100 guan for food and chewing every year, the horse fee alone is 500 guan.

Including the knight's clothing, swords and weapons, salary, etc., the annual investment for a knight is about 700 yuan."

Di Qing: "..."

He did some math and found out that one ride is seven hundred guan, and three hundred rides is 210,000 guan!

This is too outrageous!

It can be said that each of these knights is made with money, which is simply difficult to copy.

The summer wind blew by, bringing with it a strong smell of blood. Di Qing suddenly woke up: "Mr. Zhang, please order a stop immediately. If these people are killed, the Baojie Army will be finished!"

These more than 6,000 people are the elite of the Baojie Army and are also the framework of the Baojie Army. If these more than 6,000 people die, the Baojie Army will indeed exist in name only.

Zhang Heng nodded, whistled, and then made a gesture downwards, and someone rushed out.

Zhang Heng turned around and smiled with Di Qing: "It's late, go back and rest."

Di Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Can you still sleep on such a night?"

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "You must be able to sleep. Tomorrow will be the real challenge. If you handle it well, I, Zhang Heng, will establish my authority in the northwest battle. If I don't handle it well, I, Zhang Heng, will be the executioner who slaughters the border troops wantonly."

Di Qing sighed and said: "No matter what, the princes in the court will always have something to say."

Zhang Heng sneered: "These generals are incompetent, greedy and bold. They are not accustomed to it. Oh, yes, they are most happy to see these greedy generals. It is best for such generals to have no ambitions.

Take control."

Di Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Xiang Zhang, it's better not to say these things, because they are not good for you."

Zhang Heng looked at Di Qing and said, "Commander Di, generals like you are the ones that the court will be worried about. Remember one sentence, don't be stubborn for the prime minister, otherwise everyone will slander him."

After saying this, Zhang Heng got off the watchtower, leaving Di Qing there in a daze.

"Don't be a prime minister...Don't be a prime minister. Don't be a prime minister...Zhang Xiang thinks that I can be a prime minister...As a warrior, if I can be a prime minister, I might be a deputy envoy to the privy council, or even...a privy council officer."

make!"

Di Qing's breathing suddenly became rapid.

He only remembered the first words, but ignored the following words.

Zhang Heng fell asleep to the sound of killing. In his dream, flowers were blooming, but the color of the flowers was extremely bright red, as if they were watered with human blood.

This sleep was extremely sweet, and Zhang Heng opened his eyes only when the sunlight came in the next day.

After washing up, I came out and saw Lu Yining and others with pale faces.

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Why, you didn't sleep well last night?"

Zhang Mazi smiled bitterly and said: "My ears are full of screams. How can I sleep? I'm on tenterhooks in the first half of the night and terrified in the second half. Those who can sleep are true heroes. Anyway, I definitely can't do it."

Zhang Heng smiled and had breakfast brought over. After eating his breakfast carefully, he walked towards the playground.

The playground didn't look like a war, and there wasn't even any blood, but there was a strong smell of blood. Zhang Heng looked at the playground, and there was some fresh soil on it. Zhang Heng kicked it with his toes, revealing the fresh blood and mud inside.

Under the lecture platform, hundreds of corpses were neatly lined up. On one side were thousands of prisoners who were kneeling and tied up with five-flowered flowers, and behind them were the Baojie soldiers who were neatly lined up. Zhang Heng saw Chen Changyou who turned pale at a glance.

As for Chen Yanzu, they were not tied up, but Yan Shengshen was standing behind them holding a knife, and Di Qing was standing not far away, with no trace of sadness or joy on his face.

Zhang Heng smiled helplessly: "This matter should have nothing to do with Chen Dushi and Chen Duhou."

Chen Changyou and Chen Yanzhu almost shed tears.

Chen Changyou said with a tearful tone: "Ms. Zhang is aware that they were going to rebel last night. Even the general and Marquis Chen Du were unable to stop them. They almost killed them. This matter really has nothing to do with us!"

Zhang Heng nodded with a smile, then looked at the kneeling people and said softly: "Chen Dushi, Chen Duhou, these people are rebelling. How should we deal with them as usual?"

Chen Changyou gritted his teeth and said, "According to the military laws and regulations, these people are planning a mutiny and committing rebellion. They should be executed!"

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "In that case, then just act in accordance with the law."

Chen Changyou was shocked: "All of them were beheaded?"

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "There were about six thousand people who rebelled last night, hundreds of people died here, and thousands of people were arrested. In other words, there are still three to four thousand people who have not been brought to justice. ,When can we catch them all?"

Chen Changyou glanced at the people kneeling under the stage. Some were commanders, and some were the commander's soldiers. All of them looked pleading.

Chen Changyou gritted his teeth and said: "Xianggong Zhang, I think that their crimes will not lead to death!"

Zhang Heng said expressionlessly: "Didn't you say that you should be executed according to the law? How come the crime is not punishable by death? What exactly does this military law stipulate? Can you give me an accurate answer?"

Chen Changyou looked at Di Qing for help.

Di Qing turned a blind eye, and Chen Changyou finally opened his mouth to ask for permission: "Commander Di, there are some of your old subordinates among these commanders. Don't you plan to ask for permission for them?"

Di Qing looked at the commanders kneeling below, and most of them looked begging for approval.

Di Qing sighed deeply and said: "How can this make me open my mouth? Xianggong Zhang has been here for several days, studying and researching carefully, just to come up with the most suitable disarmament outline.

You have also seen the outline, which is to reduce arms but not military expenditures. Do you know how much effort Mr. Zhang had to put in to get the princes of the DPRK and China to agree to this?

Then, in order to let the retired brothers have a good life after retirement, they also specially found La'an Commercial Bank and other companies to accept the retired brothers, and arranged many future matters, and everything was considered to be in place.

But what are they doing? They are carrying knives, trying to kill people, trying to intimidate Zhang Xianggong. They are guilty of the following, and they are sending troops without permission. Chen Dushi, you are an old man in the army. You should know what the crime is for sending troops without permission. "

Chen Changyou said bitterly: "Death penalty! But... if they die, the Baojie Army will completely destroy Shuai Di! The Baojie Army has a great relationship with you, so you won't just watch it be destroyed like this, right?" ?”

Di Qing's lips moved, but she didn't speak.

Seeing that even Di Qing had stopped talking, the commanders below finally became anxious. Some people kowtowed and begged for mercy, some cried, some cursed, and some wanted to get up, but were pushed to the ground. The scene was in a panic.

Zhang Henghun sat on the stage as if there was no one around, looking at the panic in the audience.

Di Qing finally couldn't help it and said: "Ms. Zhang..."

Zhang Heng looked at Di Qing.

Di Qing was a little emboldened and said: "The general knows that this request is inappropriate, but the general still has to say that these people are the backbone of the Baojie army. If they are really killed, and those who escape are really classified as deserters, then Baojie The Czech army was really destroyed, so the general thought..."

Zhang Heng suddenly said: "I can spare their lives, but I have some matters that require their cooperation."

Di Qing was overjoyed when he heard this: "As long as you are willing to spare them, you can cooperate in anything."

Zhang Heng nodded and smiled: "Okay."
