When Ximen Qing heard the news from Huatong'er, he didn't think it was a big deal.
The blacksmith shop has been in full swing for only three days, how many accounts can it produce?
Just dozens of strings.
Therefore, Ximen Qing did not take this matter to heart, but continued to discuss with Wu Song the training progress of the Blood Blowing Guards in recent days.
Wu Song had a training method that he didn't know where it came from, but Ximen Qing felt that Wu Song learned it from an unknown teacher in Tokyo. However, after two days of watching, the Blood Blowing Guards were advancing and retreating well, and they already looked like something.
Although Ximen Qing knew nothing about training, he also knew that for an elite soldier in his mind, discipline and obedience were the most important.
Orders must reach the lowest level soldiers from the commander within minutes, and once an order is issued, there is no room for doubt and it is executed immediately.
As for whether this order is correct or not, and the results of its execution, it is the head coach who bears this responsibility.
Only with discipline and obedience can we create a rapid response force that is like an arm and a finger. As for weapons, armor, horses, etc., Ximen Qing feels that they are the icing on the cake.
The longer Ximen Qing came to this strange world, the more deeply he realized how difficult it was for a time traveler to climb the technology tree.
Musketeers? Where are the muskets?
Not to mention rifling, even smoothbore guns need to solve a lot of problems, such as gunpowder and barrel... It gives people a headache just thinking about it.
Moreover, the effectiveness and lethality of muskets are obvious. A hail of arrows can kill more people than muskets.
Cannons? They are ready-made, but they are not as powerful as the noise. Ximen Qing also specifically asked Wei Dingguo, the divine fire general, and most of them were trumpeters.
Ling Zhen, he is probably still working hard in the Gunpowder Department of Tokyo Jiazhangku. Wei Dingguo has heard about it, and when he gets to Tokyo, he can find an opportunity to ask for advice.
As for the thunderous thunder that can shoot out for fourteen or five miles with a single cannon, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to fall, mountains to fall and rocks to crack, etc., I can only say that it is the artistic processing of Water Margin.
Therefore, as soon as the time traveler slaps his head, he wants to create an invincible musketry and artillery team, and then rush directly from Liangshan to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, and then invincibly dominate the world. Ximen Qing can only step forward and pat that guy on the head,
He pulled himself up from the bed and said, "Stop dreaming!"
Whether it is climbing the technology tree or building an army of thermal weapons, regardless of whether it can be successful or not, the first hurdle that cannot be overcome is money, a huge amount of money.
This kind of experience was realized by Ximen Qing after he got his first pot of gold after plundering the Wu family.
No matter how much money you have, it is never enough.
Therefore, Ximen Qing’s next series of actions was to attract people and talents to make money for himself.
It is impossible to have a complete army with hot weapons, but the mixture of hot and cold weapons is a bit confusing. Ximen Qing is very interested in the fire crow soldiers like the divine fire general Wei Dingguo.
In Ximen Qing's mind, instead of spending money to climb the technology tree, it is better to push the weapons suitable for this era to the extreme.
In fact, there are many living examples, both in history and in later generations.
For example, during the Warring States Period in history, the Qin Army was heavily equipped with not the latest iron weapons at the time, but mature bronze weapons, which pushed the use of bronze weapons to the extreme and helped unify the Warring States Period.
For another example, the fastest progress in later generations is not theory, but the emergence of various new materials, which push existing theories to the extreme and help people improve their lives.
Ximen Qing has all kinds of magical weapons and professional talents that appear in Water Margin at his fingertips. He can choose a path based on the existing technology tree and push it to the extreme. This is what Ximen Qing believes can gain a foothold in the world.
fundamental.
The most important thing right now is to train the blood-blowing soldiers, and then spread their wings to form an elite army of about 10,000 people in Liangshan.
This is Ximen Qing’s greatest capital for survival.
Under Ximen Qing's thinking, the training of the Blood Blowing Guards was very boring. Some leaders were originally very interested in watching, but after two or three days, most of the leaders just walked away.
Why?
If I go back and train my minions according to this standard, the most likely thing is that those minions will roll their eyes at me: "What's your name? Is training like this useful?"
But here in Ximen Qing, it is completely a mercenary concept.
money above all.
Train and get money!
Fight and get money!
The money was not with Ximen Qing, but with Scarface Tiger Liu Tuozi. After defeating Fahua Temple and Zengtou City, a large amount of money had been distributed, so the morale of the entire blood-blowing corps was very high.
There are even members of the Guards Corps who showed off the jiaozi they got to others, and even showed off: "They say that a good man should not be a soldier. I can get more than a dozen jiaozi in just one month of training, and I will be even more capable in fighting."
Needless to say! This soldier is worth it!"
Facing the inquiries from the minions, the other leaders spread their hands and had no money!
The only ones who insisted on staying to watch and get some sense of the situation were the surrendered generals headed by Sick Yuchi Sun Li and Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming.
Ximen Qing's courtyard has been very lively in the past two days. The surrendered generals came to visit whenever they had nothing to do, especially the sick Wei Chi and Sun Li, who almost moved their bedding to Ximen Qing's place.
After several exchanges, Ximen Qing discovered that these surrendered generals were not all reckless men who only knew how to fight in single combat. In particular, Sun Li, Shan Tinggui, Wei Dingguo and others had many good ideas.
Ximen Qing simply ordered people to set up a large tent in the middle of the courtyard, and built a sand table inside for deduction; Wu Song handed over the training to Liu Renzhong, and joined in himself, often joining in the heated discussions.
Of course, these movements alarmed Chao Gai, the king of towers who was next door. Seeing Ximen Qing, this place was like a magnet, attracting all the surrendered generals in the village. Even Qin Ming, the Thunderbolt Fire, couldn't help but join in. Chao Gai
Gai was also quite comforted.
Ever since Song Jiang personally promised to marry, Qin Ming has fallen into an embarrassing situation. On the one hand, Song Jiang Jinkou cannot break off the engagement; on the other hand, Qin Ming is very old, and everyone is pointing fingers behind his back, especially Hua Rong.
As expected, Qin Ming remained silent and did not mention the matter of letting Hua Yuerong pass by. He was so silent that he almost felt sick.
Qin Ming's laughter now exists in Ximen Qing's yard. Even if he occasionally sees Xue'er playing with Hua Yuerong, Qin Ming can face it calmly because Qin Ming has left the ideological prison he set.
come out.
I have to say that this is Ximen Qing’s contribution.
But when this matter fell into the ears of Song Jiang and Wu Yong, it was completely different.
"What is this Ximen Qing doing!" Song Jiang slammed the table angrily.
Wu Yong also frowned and shook his goose feather fan and said: "Seeing that the generals gathered together and discussed the art of war all day long, I am afraid that Ximen Qing's reputation is getting better and better, and the King of Heaven lives next door to him.
I actually have no intention of objecting, but I should pay attention to this."
"Maybe Chao Gai is behind this!" Song Jiangyin said with a stern face: "This matter can't be delayed any longer! Why is there no movement at Hua Rong's side?"
Wu Yong smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Gongming, Ximen Qing has been in the yard for the past two or three days and has not gone out. No matter how capable Hua Rong is, he can't do it in his eagerness."
"It's only a few days before brother Hua Rong is poisoned. What should we do?" Song Jiangfa asked: "If Hua Rong notices some physical discomfort and becomes suspicious, won't all our efforts be in vain?"
Wu Yong thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter. The medicine circulates with the blood. You will feel a little dizzy before the time is up, but there will be no other abnormal symptoms."
"That's good." Song Jiang nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "Why hasn't Xiao Rang gone over to check the accounts?"
"It's not checking the accounts, it's counting the accounts." Wu Yong corrected: "I already told brother Xiao Rang yesterday, and it will be today and tomorrow."
Song Jiang waved his hand impatiently and said: "Seeing Ximen Qing's guy growing up in Shanzhai, I'm very irritable. I must do something to curb Ximen Qing's momentum."
Ximen Qing was talking to Sun Li and others in the tent, when Xiao Tianqing came over to report: "Master, there is someone outside who claims to be entrusted by the King of Heaven to count the accounts."
"Oh?" Ximen Qing suddenly remembered that the person in charge of finance in Liangshan was originally the fortune teller Jiang Jing, but Jiang Jing had been his own for a long time. Now he has either arrived in Tokyo or is on his way to Tokyo. I don't know who is now in charge of the accounting in Liangshan.
Which one is it?
"Everyone, let's talk first. I'll go out to receive you first."
"Please, Chief Ximen." Sun Li and others were having a lively discussion. They gathered around the sand table and didn't pay attention to what you said and what I said.
Ximen Qing straightened his clothes, came to the hall, and told Xiao Tianqing to invite people over.
At this time, Xiao Rang, a master scholar, was pacing at the entrance of the courtyard, feeling a little nervous.
When Wu Yong came to find him and told him the arrangement, Xiao Rang, the master scholar, was very embarrassed, but Wu Yong hinted slightly about drafting for Shi Jie, and Xiao Rang had no choice but to agree.
Xiao Rang had never managed accounts before and had little experience. He was able to become Liangshan's accountant because of Song Jiang's words: "Brother Xiao Rang is good at writing, so who should he be?"
So Xiao Rang became the accountant in a daze, while Song Jiang actually held the real power. As for Chao Gai, the King of Pagoda, he had never been a householder and never knew how much money was left in Liangshan's treasury. He only knew that there was a lot
.
Xiao Rang was forcefully pulled over by Song Jiang and stood on the same front.
When Song Jiang handed over a list and asked him to draft one in bird seal, Xiao Rang knew that he had boarded a pirate ship.
Because there is no name of Chao Gai, the king of pagodas, and the first one is Timely Rain Song Jiang.
After finishing the writing, the work of making the stone tablets was handed over to the jade-arm craftsman Jin Dajian. As soon as Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian met, they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
"If there are no problems with the accounts, then add a few more problematic items." This is Xiao Rang's calculation.
