Having said that, due to the grace of King Ji, the saying that a good man should not be a soldier has long been abandoned. On the contrary, the slogan that a good man should become a soldier, and if he wants to be a soldier of King Ji, is widely circulated among the people.
Everyone is proud that their relatives can become Jizhou Army. In such a good atmosphere, if Tang Ao had not wanted elite soldiers, he could have recruited not only 20,000, but also 100,000 or more.
The generals are asking for battle, which is naturally a good thing, at least it means that the morale of their own troops is strong. Tang Ao's eyes wandered from the four people one by one. When his eyes fell on someone, everyone could not help but feel bursts of excitement.
.It's a pity that the final decision made by Tang Ao had nothing to do with the four generals. "The tiger soldiers are training in Songjun to suppress bandits. They are closest to Yujun, so let them complete this task."
The Tigers and Ben soldiers are a new army that was established just a few months ago.
Although the numbers are new, the soldiers are all bandit men who have killed people and seen blood. It's just that they only killed the officers and soldiers who oppressed the people and the guards of the nobles. They often just wanted a bite to eat.
Even risking their lives, such people were full of bloody courage, so Tang Ao named them Hu Ben Zu, which represented a recognition of their bravery.
The leader of the tiger soldiers is Xingsi. He was impressed by what Tang Ao did for the people, and he was convinced and sincerely surrendered to him. After being reused by him, he was very loyal and completed the task of suppressing the bandits very well.
Bandits with a bad reputation who had oppressed the people were all eliminated, but those who resisted were killed on the spot, and those captured were sent to prisoner camps for further education and reform. In the process, he also found his junior brother Zuo Zhuang,
They are also people with extraordinary strength and extraordinary bravery. Today, the two of them are in charge of the Tiger Soldiers, one is the chief and the other is the deputy.
Tang Ao didn't even send a supervisor to express his full trust in Xing Si. Based on this, Xing Si had already sworn an oath that he would only be loyal to Tang Ao in his life and would never change it.
Oaths cannot be believed, at least completely. Tang Ao, who came to this era because of his lover's betrayal, will not easily believe in any oaths. He only knows that when you can bring benefits to the other party,
The other person's humanity is good.
When you cannot bring benefits to him, the other person's human nature is selfish.
When you affect his interests, his human nature is evil.
Family, friendship, and love are all like this.
What you call a broken relationship actually means that the benefits are not enough. Behind all relationships are the support of benefits. This is human nature.
When it comes to benefits, Tang Ao can bring it to the people around him, and he can give enough benefits. But if you can add an extra layer of insurance, why not? For example, let the Tiger Soldiers deal with Di Bing, which is equivalent to the formation of a knot between the two parties.
In order to prevent revenge from a blood feud, you can only unite more closely with yourself, so that you are not afraid of him betraying you again.
When it comes to government affairs, Tang Ao can give up and leave it to others. When it comes to military power, he will never be sloppy or careless. This is a major matter that can affect his own life and death. "It's settled like this.
, notify Xing Si and Zuo Zhuang, and ask them to contact Long Ya and choose an opportunity to eliminate this group of Di people who want to enter Jizhou. At home, the Mei family will be monitored more closely and be prepared for acquisition at any time. This matter is
Let the Zhizhou and the Sifang Army complete it." Tang Ao glanced at Zeng Tong and Feng Wanli and said.
"No." The two of them nodded quickly, saying that they would definitely do this well. Immediately, the soldiers of the Quartet Army broke into pieces, disguised as various people, and began to closely monitor the entire Mei family and the members of the Mei family.
...
Yu County is one of the ten counties in Jizhou, and it is also the smallest county among the ten counties.
Compared with the counties, there are six or seven cities and counties in the big ones, and four or five in the small ones. Yu County only has three places: Jiangcheng in the north, Tun County in the south, and Yu County, the county headquarter. The territory is not large.
, with a small population and close proximity to the Northland, it is often ignored by successive governors.
That is to say, Tang Ao came here and quickly invested millions of taels of silver in Yujun in batches, which made the situation here a lot better, especially with the promotion of the policy that every citizen with good citizenship can get twenty acres of fertile land.
Next, the place gradually became lively.
In Jiangcheng, when the farming season comes, the place is bustling and busy, glowing with their youth.
Next to a dense forest called Shilinggou, the place is still quiet, and it has not changed due to the busyness of the people below the mountain. But if someone can look down from above, they will be surprised to find that in the forest,
, there were actually quite a few figures flashing around, yes, they were the Tiger Soldiers whom Prince Ji Tang Ao had kissed.
After receiving the order from Fei Ge to send the message, Xing Si and Zuo Zhuang discussed it and rushed from Song County to Yu County with a thousand tiger soldiers. They found Long Ya's captain Tie Long and learned that the Di people might
The general direction of advance was to set up an encirclement here as early as possible, and prepare to take a rest while waiting for work.
Since Tang Ao took control of Jizhou, he has invested a large amount of money and carried out many reforms in military and government affairs. In addition to the famous Double Six Policy, there are also, for example:
1: Rectify taxes. Eliminate all unreasonable taxes and services, collect only the reasonable portion, and reduce taxes for the people.
Two: Stabilize prices, especially food prices, to ensure that people can afford to eat.
Three: Distribute fertile farmland. Only then will everyone have farmland, work to do, someone to rely on, and hope for life.
Four: Suppress bandits and crack down on organized crime. Especially the bullies who usually bully the countryside should be eliminated, which can make the people happy and gain their support more quickly. Suppressing bandits can maintain social stability, so that everyone no longer has to worry about the fruits of their labor being
Others took it away by force.
Five: Establish schools to give more people the opportunity to learn culture, reserve talents, etc.
In addition to military affairs, in addition to military training and one day every seven days to serve the people, such as cleaning the streets, chopping wood, and carrying water, there is also the very famous Five Cuts.
Five cuts.
Those who shrink from battle - behead!
Those who disobey orders - behead!
Those who raped civilian women—beheaded!
Anyone who robs finances - behead!
Anyone who delays the military situation—behead!
Thanks to various measures, Jizhou has undergone a huge change, and the people's hearts have become unified. Even the bandits who were most reluctant to obey orders in the past have become obedient and accepted the recruitment of the state capital.
It was under such circumstances that Zuo Zhuang came to the Jizhou Army, and on the recommendation of his senior brother Xing Si, he became the deputy commander of the Tiger Soldiers.
Zuo Zhuang, tall and burly, with auspicious temples like knives, eyes like lightning, full heaven, straight nose bridge, plump lips, beards under the chin as erect as steel needles, thick and powerful arms, round waist and broad shoulders. No matter where he stands, his face is clear.
It gave off an aura as strong as a mountain.
Looking at it, one can’t help but sigh in admiration - what a man!
When Tang Ao first met Zuo Zhuang, he praised him as a good man, which made his reputation even more prominent. The tiger soldiers under his leadership were actually all composed of tall and powerful mountain bandits. After receiving the order this time
, both Xingsi and Zuo Zhuang want to perform well.
A man will die for the one who knows himself!
Even if Ji Wang Tang Ao thinks so highly of them, of course they must perform well to prove their worth. This time they got the opportunity to deal with the Di people, so the two commanders called a group of subordinates to discuss what to do
Matters of war.
Under a big tree, several generals from the Tiger Army gathered together to discuss how to win this battle at the minimum cost and hand over an excellent answer to King Ji.
As one of the former bandit leaders, Ma Laoliu and Song Huo, two darts, also fell into the hands of Tang Ao, and relied on their considerable strength to become generals of the Tiger Guards, and were able to participate in meetings and conferences.
Opportunity to speak.
At the beginning of the meeting, Xing Si gave a brief introduction to the situation, "Brothers, according to the information provided by Long Ya, the Di people have 2,000 soldiers who want to enter the country, and we only have 1,000 soldiers. The comparison in strength
It is one to two, so we will suffer some losses. But we are ambushes, and the soldiers are very familiar with this kind of mountain warfare. This is also our advantage. There must be no problem with one against two. The problem is how to minimize our own casualties.
Under such circumstances, we can win this battle. Then everyone can speak out and discuss whatever ideas they have."
Xing Si was the first to take the lead, and the next several people also expressed their opinions politely. In the end, Gundi Lei and Song Huo's proposal was accepted by everyone, which was to break it into parts and use the special Shilinggou.
Due to the geographical environment, they used sneak attacks to eat away at the Di army step by step, and finally launched a fierce attack when their numbers were about the same.
Speaking of the battlefield, soldiers versus soldiers, generals, tiger soldiers are not the most powerful. With the same number of people, I am afraid no one will be the opponent of the Shanshan Guard. But when it comes to sneak attacks, setting traps, digging traps, and using blackmail
Arrow, there is absolutely no one who can be the opponent of the tiger warrior who was born as a bandit.
"Okay, as long as everyone agrees, the matter has been settled. Let's go and prepare ourselves." Xing Si punched the ground with great enthusiasm and made the final decision. At this moment, a thousand tiger troops were there.
In the dense forest and near Shilinggou, preparations for digging pits, setting traps, and ambush various mechanisms began.
While the tiger soldiers were still busy day and night, two thousand Di people who had changed into Han costumes were coming from north to south towards Shilinggou.
Among the crowd, Jizhou Zhizhou Prefecture, who was leading the way, was engaged in Meidu. He looked at the two thousand people walking with him with some worry. Perhaps it was due to preconceptions or psychological trouble. What did he think?
These Di people who have changed their clothes don't look like Han people. They walk sideways like crabs, and they are all arrogant. I look like the best in the world. They are not as brave as the people of Jizhou.
