Chapter 1311 The temptation of power

There are now thirty thunderbolt cannons in the army. According to Su You's opinion, they are all centralized and used together, led by the famous Academy's Seven Killers and the Third Artillery Squadron.

However, the Seven Killers have now become the Six Killers, because Zheke was temporarily transferred to the East Road before the war to lead the Zhe family army in place of his uncle, and is now following Zhonge towards Lingzhou along the root of the Great Wall.

When Su You came to the hill called Dahu'ao, he saw the sergeants using engineering shovels to cut down the trees on the hill and clear the position. They were very busy.

I found Wang Junwan, the commander of the artillery camp, and said, "What? Are you going to pull the thunder cannon up the slope?"

In fact, there is no need at all. It is very suitable to establish an artillery observation position here. Pass the parameters to the artillery battalion in the mountain col, and the artillery fire can still cover the Zhuangzi on the other side.

Wang Junwan didn't think so, and nodded as a matter of course, standing at attention and saluting: "Report to the commander! The artillery battalion is the top military force of our Emperor Song Dynasty. This battle is not only to destroy the enemy, but also to demonstrate! Dragging it to the top of the mountain is to declare

Si Yi - the truth is only within the range of my thunder cannon!"

"Yes!" Staff officer Zhong Pu also ran over and stood at attention: "It is still the absolute truth. Xia people have to accept it even if they accept it! If they don't accept it, they have to accept it!"

"Where did you learn these nonsense!" Su You rolled his eyes: "Can your instructor Guo climb this slope? In the past, people could carry artillery shells with one hand and fire continuous rounds. Now when marching, you can ride in a car instead of riding a horse."

"The main reason is that horses are not easy to find." Zhong Pu added thiefly: "Last time, my Tuxue Wuzui was ridden and his uncle was dead, and my concubine was fine. I was so distressed that I shed tears.

!”

Miao Lu, who was watching the enemy area ahead through a theodolite, said: "Instructor Guo is leading the soldiers to dig trenches. In fact, there is no use. Tens of thousands of troops are surrounding the mountain. I don't believe the Xia people can touch them."

Qian Gu took a map book and filled in the gun sighting parameters next to Miao Lu: "Hahaha, I have written down what you said. I will wait for a while to run with the instructor. Hurry, the light is almost gone, report the number!"

Seeing that the kids were all busy, Su You was too embarrassed to interrupt, so he led Zhang Qi and Cheng Yue: "Let's go and see what's going on tonight."

One of the reasons why Su You wanted to follow the artillery was that the food for the artillery was the best in the Song Dynasty army.

When I came to the cooking class, mutton soup was already simmering in several large army pots.

Su You squatted beside the big copper pot and looked at the mutton tumbling inside: "Brother Xiaoqi, let me tell you, Shaanxi sheep are delicious enough, but I didn't expect Yanzhou sheep to be the best in the world..."

The first-rank official of the imperial court was waiting by the pot like a dog, and the cook in the cooking class felt a lot of pressure. While kneading the dough, he asked: "Well... Lord, why don't I give you a can of sugar water to moisten it first?"

"No." Not only did Su You not appreciate it, he also used a spoon to turn over the side dishes in the pot: "There are still too few vegetables. When dividing the meal, I must tell the sergeants that they must take tea powder tablets. I have been suffering from severe constipation these days...

…”

Zhang Qi reminded Su You: "My aunt sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that if the army goes out and eats mainly beef and mutton, it will easily happen... There is a medicinal herb in Lingwu called rhubarb. You only need to soak two or three tablets in water to drink it."

, can solve the problem you mentioned, Duke."

"Really?" Before Su You could say anything, the cook spoke first: "What's the rhubarb like?"

Su You touched his chin with his hand: "My bride knows how to care for others... This problem may seem small, but I'm afraid the New Army sergeants all have it, so there's nothing more to say. I'll write a letter to Mr. Fan and let him collect it as military supplies!"

"

Cheng Yue sneered on the side: "Grandma Wang went too far. She even asked Xuzhou to ship dates. Zhao Zhuan found out and reported it to the officials. She got scolded. Lord, please be careful."

Su You said with a smile: "Grandma Wang has done so much this time. If she doesn't give a few words of rebuke to the officials, she feels a little flustered. After this battle is over, if she doesn't go to the South China Sea or Zhangzi Island for a walk, he won't feel at ease. Waiting

Look."

"But Mr. Fan is not like this. I guess he will have a hard time. Old man, the problem is more serious on this road..."

A group of people were chatting about this over the mutton soup, but it was not taboo at all.

Ningxia Tanyang tastes really good. Now that the war is over, there is no such thing as suyou anymore. I want to change my taste, so I ask the cook for a piece of ribs, and I dig out some seasonings and put a small charcoal on the side.

He opened the stove and grilled mutton skewers with Zhang Qi and Cheng Yue.

Nowadays, the food of the new troops of the Song Army has reached the standards of later generations of soldiers in World War II. Shaanxi itself is the first region where oil crops were promoted, so there is no shortage of food.

With yeast and baking soda, wheat rice becomes steamed buns, which is easier for the body to absorb.

Spices and sugar are the source of happiness. Tong Guan uses them to win the hearts of soldiers. Buying one is guaranteed.

Tong Guan was very smart and knew that in order to become a commander-in-chief, he had to get along well with his superiors. He could not achieve prestige, so he took the word "kindness and care" very seriously.

All the New Army soldiers were literate, and Tong Guan made suggestions to Su You and launched the "letter home" initiative in the army.

The content of the activity is that each soldier writes a letter to his family, and no matter how difficult it is, these letters are delivered to the hands of the soldiers' families. He collects the replies and distributes them to each company personally.

Every time a distribution is given, it is a "going deep into the grassroots". Then everyone gathers together, takes out family letters and reads them loudly. Everyone laughs or cries, and Tong Guan takes the opportunity to capture people's hearts.

At first, Gao Zunyu had doubts, fearing that doing so would affect the morale of the army and lead to deserters. However, Su You praised Tong Guan's approach and specially asked Sitong to open a military e-mail, which not only allowed him to send family letters, but also his salary.

Send captured loot!

As soon as this plan came out, the army's desire to fight suddenly exploded. Several soldiers even wrote letters in blood, expressing their determination and demanding that the war start as soon as possible.

Qian Gu's letter home to his father, the Marquis, is one of the best in Xijun's family letter. It even appeared on the third page of the "Bianjing Times", allowing the romantic poems and songs in Beijing to be reflected in this letter of strong loyalty.

Everything was eclipsed in front of the family letters that stirred up the excitement between the lines.

It is said that Mr. Qian burst into tears after reading this family letter. He was not moved, but beat his chest and regretted it - I really didn't expect that this little son could be so successful. If I had known that I would never let her mother do it no matter what.

She pampered him and even forced him to study until he was beaten to death...

When they arrived at night, Su You and Zhang Qi were lying in a van, huddled in their thick sleeping bags.

Su You asked Zhang Qi: "Brother Qi, do you want to have Chi'er?"

Zhang Qi knew Su You's virtues and Lu Ruo was only three months pregnant, so the couple quickly named their baby Zhang Chi, not giving Su You a chance to choose a nickname.

Zhang Qi said: "Think about it. I heard Lu Ruo say that his son weighs seven pounds and has good hair and big eyes when he is born."

Su You said: "I don't know how Bian Guan and the others are doing with their studies, and whether they have caused any trouble in Beijing. You said it would be great if you had a daughter, so you don't have to worry about my colander..."

Zhang Qi said with a smile: "My lord, you should think more about the current battle. Wang Jian will not have to worry about his children's family affairs when he goes out."

Su You also smiled: "I feel relaxed now. Next is the moment for Uncle Gao Guo to show his prowess. I will contact Colonel Si Su who is about to transfer."

"What good things are you thinking of?" Zhang Qi teased: "If we really want to defeat Lingwu and capture Monan, I'm afraid you, the general manager, will have a lot of work."

Su You sighed: "I really don't know what it means to be king and emperor. I'm so tired that I'm not happy. Today I received a report that Yang Yizhen, a powerful official in Dali, killed Duan Lianyi, the leader of the country, and called himself Emperor Guang'an. The younger Prime Minister Gao established another

Duan Shouhui was the leader of the country and ordered his son Gao Shengtai to raise troops to fight against the rebellion. At the same time, he asked the Song Dynasty to uphold justice. Dali will be in chaos in the blink of an eye."

Zhang Qiqi asked: "Duan Lianyi has been a puppet for many years, and Yang Yizhen can't even tolerate this?"

Su You said: "So, this year, Dali Copper and Erlin Iron will all be affected. Yang Yizhen has been working hard for so many years. I feel a little sad for the little Prime Minister Gao."

Zhang Qi has been with Su You for so many years and is not a good person: "That's not good. If our copper mine in Nongdongfu is affected, we can order Wang Shao to go to Yunnan to intervene."

"And over at Erlin, Jianchang Mansion has long been an enclave of Dali. Although it still belongs to Dali in name, it has actually been surrounded by our Weizhou for a long time. It has always been under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty. In my opinion,

Just take this opportunity to capture it and merge it into my territory of the Song Dynasty."
