Li Chengzhi has always believed in the principle of "if you respect me a foot, I will respect you a foot". How could he cheat his uncle?
Hu Baozong still doesn’t understand him.
He really wants Guo Cunxin to help.
Since the ancestor Guo Yu started school in Zhangye County, for more than 150 years, the Guo family has had its descendants serve as officials in Longyou prefectures. There are countless doctors and teaching assistants, and they have taught more than 10,000 disciples?
It is no exaggeration to say that Guo can be called the literati leader of Longxi and Hexi states.
With such a big bottle of wine, how could Li Chengzhi not know how to borrow it?
Even if you coax some scholars to serve as clerks in the army, their merits will be good.
What's more, what he wants is a coolie who is willing to stay in the army for a long time and teach the officers how to read...
It is really difficult to lead illiterate soldiers.
Not all of them are required to be able to recite poems and compose poems, but at least all of Li's closest confidants, that is, the nearly three hundred soldiers of the Li family, must be able to read and understand military orders and recognize regulations.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to even select grassroots backbones...
Li Chengzhi did not dare to say how long it would take, he only said that he was asking him to recommend some literati from the county to serve in the army. This was easy for Guo Cunxin, and he agreed immediately.
At this point, the initial strategic purpose has been clarified, and we will naturally seize the time to prepare for war.
Soldiers, grain, chariots, horses, weapons, armor, auxiliary troops, civilian men... there were a lot of things that needed to be mobilized, and he entrusted them all to Guo Cunxin and Hu Baozong.
Li Song was responsible for relocating the villagers and monks of the Li and Song families, selecting sites to build camps, and reorganizing and training the cadres.
As for Li Chengzhi, in addition to considering how to structure and organize the military levy, he also needs to urge the construction of steelmaking and armor forging sites as soon as possible.
……
"Mr. Lang, why do you have to borrow A?" After Guo Cunxin and Hu Baozong left, Li Song asked in confusion.
If you think about the value of each set of armor, you will know that among all families and tribes, this thing is no different from the lifeblood, and few companies will agree to it.
"Isn't your brain clear?"
Li Chengzhi glared and cursed, "I'm going to build more than two thousand sets of armor honestly and honestly. What do you think the court will do?"
Li Song suddenly realized that Lang Jun wanted to pretend to be a fisherman?
Just like before, it is the same reason to let the thousand soldiers wear iron armor and wooden armor in rotation.
I don’t care whether you borrow it or not, let me let the news out first. I only borrowed twenty sets, but I said to the outside world that I had borrowed two hundred sets... After coming and going, everyone will think that regardless of Li Chengzhi claiming that he has three thousand
Or five thousand armored soldiers, it’s just a title.
No one knows how many there really are...
In fact, Li Chengzhi had another intention, but Li Song didn't realize it: psychological anticipation!
Just like the plot against Hu Baozong before, if I first make a request that you can't agree to, and then I take a step back, it will naturally be easier for you to accept...
His purpose, in fact, is to recruit soldiers. At least the tribes of each tribe are veterans who have received training and served as fortresses or soldiers, which can reduce the time of training and organization.
You don't need to use any tricks, this soldier may not be easy to recruit, maybe someone will fool you into a team of old and weak.
Then he might as well recruit directly from civilian households, at least he would still be young and strong...
If we can recruit 3,000 men from the imperial court, plus the more than 1,000 men and women captured in the city by the chaotic soldiers and the people, and the remaining 600 soldiers, it will be enough for 5,000.
Of course, if you want to recruit, you can raise tens of thousands, but Li Chengzhi doesn’t think it’s necessary.
One is insufficient equipment.
He still felt that the troops should be fine, not numerous, so he planned to concentrate materials and build a strong army.
The second is that after a few battles, as long as there are captures, there will naturally be soldiers...
Thinking of this, Li Chengzhi felt a little confused.
Never thought that one day I would be forced to go to Liangshan and become the commander-in-chief of an army?
He thought for a while and sighed sadly: "Li Song, if I say that I really don't know how to fight, you won't believe it, and I can't explain it...
But you must be clear that your husband is not a god, and it has nothing to do with divine right or not. Therefore, you must remember that if I make any mistakes or act recklessly, you must
Remember to remind me and advise me..."
Li Song blinked.
Don’t know how to fight?
Then how did you use three hundred soldiers to surround and annihilate nearly a thousand thieves?
What's the explanation for the spear array?
I never thought that the cavalry could defend like this?
Also, if this is not divinely taught, how did you learn it, Mr. Lang?
Ever since you were naked, you have never left your servant’s eyes. Who taught you this?
Although he thought so in his heart, he had been scolded too much and knew that Lang Jun disliked this the most. Li Song also learned the lesson and didn't dare to ask a word. He just replied angrily: "I have noted it down!"
You wrote down something...
One look at Li Song's expression and he knew what was going on in his mind, and Li Chengzhi gritted his teeth involuntarily.
He knew this would happen, so he decided to keep Guo Cunxin.
If there is not such a rational and cautious person by his side, sooner or later he will lose himself in the blind worship of Li Song and others...
"I hope so!" He sighed, and then said in a solemn voice, "You can set off back to the mountain after a while, move the blacksmith and all the supplies as soon as possible, and put them all in the nearest farm outside the city... and chop more.
trees, sawing some boards, and making wooden armor were moved in together..."
Iron is still far from enough, and it can only be equipped with more than 2,000 armored soldiers, and the remaining soldiers can only wear wooden armor, so they have to be made vigorously.
"I have your order!" Li Song responded, and then said thoughtfully, "Mr. Lang, how should we deal with those traitors?"
Seeing the looming coldness in Li Song's eyes, Li Chengzhi glared at him fiercely.
Are you trying to kill him again?
Why is Li Song so murderous?
He replied coldly: "You do whatever is written in the law, how else do you want to deal with it?"
The traitorous household Li Song refers to is the family of Ding Zu who followed Li Bai out of the city and later mutinied and surrendered to the enemy.
Of the nearly two hundred soldiers, more than 80% are Song clan members, while the rest are monks.
What’s surprising is that there aren’t even any Ding soldiers from the Li family?
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Li Shixian, the clan leader, is relatively competent and the Li clan members have a strong sense of belonging.
These soldiers know very well that being a deserter means betraying the clan. It is hard to say whether they can survive or not, and their families will definitely be affected... It is better to fight to the death, maybe they can find a way to survive.
In this state, Li Bai actually led more than a hundred soldiers to kill the rebels!
Even if it is for the purpose of serving as a warning to others, those rebels must be punished, and their family members should naturally be expelled from the army, and those who should be reduced to criminal households, then they will be reduced to criminal households...
To put it bluntly, there is no need for the Li family to bear this bad reputation. Song Li will handle it deeply.
The Song family has been in panic all day long, so how can they dare to pursue selfish interests?
