Chen Qing finally understood why Wang Yan was worried about whether he could establish the Qinzhou Army?
You must know that the relationship between Chen Qing and Fu Xuan has never been good. From the beginning, Chen Qing robbed Fu Xuan of his nephew Fu Moshan's opportunity. Once Fu Xuan replaced Wang Yan as the capital commander, his life would be difficult in the future.
Wang Yan obviously knew this very well.
Wang Yan smiled again and said: "Since the envoy Xuanfu has given you the quota of three thousand troops, I will allocate these three thousand soldiers to you!"
"I'm afraid Fu Dutong will have some objections!"
Wang Yan snorted coldly, "It's useless for him to have opinions. It's not his turn to make the decision now!"
If Chen Qing realizes something, I'm afraid Wang Yan's transfer is related to Fu Xuan.
Chen Qing asked again: "Can you transfer Yang Yuanqing and Zheng Ping to me?"
"Just write down a list and I'll arrange it for you!"
Chen Qing immediately wrote a list of a dozen people and handed it to Wang Yan. Wang Yan looked at it and put it on the table, "I still have three days, and I will make arrangements for you."
After a moment of silence, Wang Yan said again: "I'm really sorry about the pension money!"
This was Wang Yan too, Zhang Jun didn't mention this matter at all.
Chen Qing smiled and waved his hand, "This matter has nothing to do with the capital, so don't blame yourself. Besides, Xianggong Lu has promised to return the money I advanced, so it actually doesn't have much impact."
Wang Yan looked at him for a long time and said slowly: "This kind of thing will happen often in the future. You must be flexible but also adhere to the principle. You must not use your own money to pay pensions to fallen soldiers. You must never do it again."
Chen Qing nodded, "Xiangong Lu reminded me, I know it well."
"That's good!"
Wang Yan smiled happily and said: "Wu Dutong is going to wash away the dust for you tonight, let's have a good drink!"
...........
The reception banquet in the evening was very united and harmonious. Even Fu Xuan toasted Chen Qing with two glasses of wine and congratulated him on his promotion.
To Chen Qing's surprise, Zheng Ping was also promoted to commander. This was related to his father in Lin'an. There were many people in the court, and it was difficult not to be promoted.
Wu Jie also hired several prostitutes to add to the fun. After this meal, Chen Qing was so drunk that he slept until the next morning.
Chen Qing slowly sat up and found that he was lying in a large tent. Of course there was no woman around him. Wang Yan planned to arrange for a maid to serve him at night, but he refused.
With a splitting headache and extremely thirsty mouth, Chen Qing got up, found a gourd filled with water, and drank half of the gourd in one go.
At this time, a soldier's voice came from outside, "Commander, the commander hasn't woken up yet!"
"You should wake up, go take a look!"
This was Yang Yuanqing's voice. At the reception banquet last night, Chen Qing felt that he was worried and had no chance to ask him.
Chen Qing strode out of the tent, and it turned out to be Yang Yuanqing, "Old Yang, it's really you!"
The two hugged happily, and Chen Qing smiled again: "I brought you a tribesman, did you see it?"
"You're talking about Yang Zaixing! I've seen him. He's from the same clan as me, but he has a good relationship with Yang Zheng, and he was dragged to chat by Yang Zheng last night."
Chen Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "You bastard Yang Zheng, please don't take advantage of me."
"It is indeed possible that Yang Zaixing is the clansman with the strongest martial arts skills of our generation, but it depends on him. If he wants to talk to the commander, it is useless to talk to Yang Zheng."
"Let's go for a walk! I have a bad headache."
The two walked up to the Dashanguan city wall and walked slowly along the city wall. Chen Qing held on to the battlements and looked at the mountains in the distance, sighing: "It's so fast! It's been a year."
Chen Qing said that he had been in the Song Dynasty for a full year, but Yang Yuanqing thought he was talking about the Battle of Fuping. He also sighed: "Yes! The Battle of Fuping changed the fate of many people."
"Lao Yang, what's going on with Wang Dutong?"
Chen Qing would never believe that Wang Yan was dismissed from the military because of his injury.
Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly and said, "It's because of the three words 'Eight-Character Army'."
The Eight-Character Army is what everyone usually calls them. They are actually part of the Jingyuan Army, but everyone usually calls them that. Even Zhang Jun himself calls the Eight-Character Army, so how could there be a problem?
Chen Qing was still puzzled, "It shouldn't be Zhang Jun's fault!"
"No, Ambassador Xuan never cared about it. It was Fu Xuan!"
"Sure enough, it's him!" Chen Qing's mind showed Fu Xuan's treacherous smile last night.
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "There was someone in Fu Xuan's court. He wrote a letter and informed the royal capital. It is said that the officials were very dissatisfied with those eight words, so they transferred out of the army on the grounds that the capital commander was seriously injured."
Chen Qing sneered in his heart, if the eight words "Serve the country with my heart and swear to kill the gold thieves" were changed to "Serve the country with loyalty and swear to kill the gold thieves", I'm afraid there would be no problem.
Of course, Chen Qing also knew that the Eight-Character Army was somewhat similar to the Zhong Family Army and the Yue Family Army, and was suspected of being a private army. In addition, there were villains nearby, so it was normal for Zhao Gou not to tolerate it.
"Who is Fu Xuan's backstage?" Chen Qing asked again.
"Zhu Shengfei, does the commander know?"
"It's him!"
Chen Qing and Zhu Shengfei did not know each other, but they did meet him. During the training of new soldiers for martial arts competition, Zhu Shengfei was a bachelor of Guanwen Palace and temporarily served as the minister of the Ministry of War. He was thin and tall, with a very elegant appearance. It was said that he was also a confidant of the emperor.
.
"I also want to talk to the commander about the pension money."
Chen Qing perked up and said, "Say it!"
Yang Yuanqing took out a thick book and handed it to Chen Qing, "This is the inventory. More than half of it has been distributed. There are still more than 400 soldiers whose families have not been found. The remaining money was deposited by Zheng Ping in a money shop in Chengdu.
"
Chen Qing flipped through the booklet, which was full of names and fingerprints. It was really not easy.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Yang Yuanqing smiled and said: "I should. Thanks to the royal capital for sending more than a dozen civil servants to assist me and check carefully, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell the difference even if someone pretends to claim it."
"Are there more than 400 people because it is inconvenient for their families to be in Guanzhong?"
"Yes, but I heard that some family members are also dead. Commander, I'm afraid this matter is a long-term matter and we have to keep looking for it."
Chen Qing nodded, "I will let Xiao Yi be responsible for this matter."
"Commander, can I still follow you?"
Yang Yuanqing hesitated and said: "Wang Dutong is leaving, and I don't want to follow Fu Xuan. His nephew Fu Moshan is very vicious. He actually called me a Huanqing dog!"
"Fu Moshan is just a mad dog, don't ignore him!"
Chen Qing patted Yang Yuanqing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already agreed with Wang Dutong that you, Zheng Ping, and Xiao Yi will all be transferred to me."
Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed, "Fortunately the commander is back, otherwise my future life would be difficult."
"You have a thousand people under your command, Zheng Ping has a thousand people under his command, so there are only two thousand people, and there is still a thousand people left. Do you have any suggestions?"
Yang Yuanqing thought for a while and said: "Wang Dutong has a divine arm crossbow army with 500 people. It was established half a year ago. They are the elites selected from the entire Western Army. At that time, Wu Gao and Wang Dutong fought for a long time and were defeated by Wang Dutong.
The battle for unification has arrived. If we can get this divine arm crossbow army, it will be of great help to the future commander in recovering Qinzhou!"
Chen Qing was really tempted. He knew that only the bed crossbow and the divine arm crossbow could penetrate the armor of the Jurchen cavalry. It was not easy to practice the divine arm crossbow. He must seize this opportunity.
"But it's very difficult!" Yang Yuanqing said again.
"Why?"
"This divine arm crossbow army has been reserved by Fu Moshan, and he will serve as the commander of this army." Yang Yuanqing regretted telling Chen Qing this.
Chen Qing suddenly felt a little dizzy and went in a circle. He actually had to compete with that rough guy Fu Moshan for the army again.
...........
In the afternoon, Chen Qing hesitantly mentioned the Divine Arm Crossbow Army to Wang Yan. Wang Yan slapped his thigh and said, "Why didn't you tell me yesterday? I promised to return this army to Wu Jie last night!"
Chen Qing was startled, "Didn't you say that General Fu...wanted to take over this army?"
"That's just wishful thinking on his part!"
Wang Yan took a military document from the table and handed it to Chen Qing, "This is a letter of recommendation from Fu Xuan. He wants to give this army to his nephew, but do you see my signature and seal on it?"
Chen Qing looked at the military document and found that the column for generals below was still blank.
Wang Yan sneered and said: "I don't want to give this army to his nephew at all. His nephew will never fight on the front line. What I gave him is just a decoration in the military camp. It was a waste of such a sharp army, so yesterday
As soon as Wan Wu Jie opened his mouth, I immediately agreed."
At this moment, Fu Xuan walked in angrily, followed by his nephew Fu Moshan.
"Old Wang, what you did this time is not honest!" Fu Xuan denounced Wang Yan as soon as he entered the tent.
Chen Qing stood aside and looked at Fu Moshan. He hadn't seen him for almost a year. He had gained weight. Last year, he was still a very black and burly man, like a wild boar. But now the wild boar has become a domestic pig, with a thick neck and a belly
It's so big, like a big iron pot placed upside down on your belly.
Fu Moshan also recognized Chen Qing, a proud smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he looked at Chen Qing provocatively.
Of course Chen Qing understood the source of his pride, because his uncle was going to be promoted to a general, and he thought he could finally take care of himself. Poor pig boy, didn't he know that he was already forming the Qinzhou Army?
