Chapter 71 0067 [Zhou Yafu of the Song Dynasty](1/2)
The twelfth day of Zhu Ming’s training.
A clutch stopped by the river, and the servant rushed to the ashore and went straight into the city to the county government.
"Yangzhou Official Document!" The officer showed off his waist card.
The doormen quickly let him in, and Bai Chongwu was responsible for the reception, but the servant did not take out the official documents.
Soon after, Xiang Xiang came to the magistrate heard the news, opened the official documents with his own hands, and after reading it, he was overjoyed: "Are the money and food ready? We will be able to send troops tomorrow."
The Song Dynasty was extremely strict in the management of the army. If it was a regular army, if it was a regular army, it would have to have military talismans, otherwise it would have to be imprisoned for one year at a minimum. If there were no military talismans, it would be sentenced to hang if it was a privately dispatched more than a thousand troops, and it would be sentenced to hang.
Officials can only send troops urgently when they encounter thieves siege or when the army rebells.
In other words, if Zhu Ming rebels one day and goes to the vicinity of Yangzhou City to rob. As long as he does not directly attack the city, the prefect will not be able to mobilize the Xiang army and must ask the court for instructions... After the court approves it, it will probably have been half a year since it has been.
Of course, the township soldiers and archers are not that particular, so local officials still have the initiative.
Whether he was timid or cautious, he recruited a archer from the magistrate, but he actually wrote a letter to the magistrate and the magistrate, and reported Zhu Zongdao's rebellion.
"Look at it for yourself." Xiang Xiang handed over the official document.
Bai Chongwu took the official document with both hands, and the content was very simple. He asked Xixiang County to send troops immediately to eliminate the rebels' nest as soon as possible and not delay the collection of grain.
As for the chief clerk Zhu, the above did not even mention it.
It is normal for a chief clerk who was born in a traitor to surrender and rebel again. If you die, you will die. Just send his head and family to Yangzhou.
In Yangzhou, I was too lazy to send someone to investigate.
Xiang Xiang's county magistrate has been very happy these days and has taken another concubine. He said proudly: "Baiwei, summon six officials from the case, and follow me to review the archer."
"Abide by the order!"
Bai Chongwu immediately made arrangements, and many thoughts inevitably arose in his heart.
The magistrate suddenly wanted to inspect the army and brought the county yamen officials with him. Is this a demonstration to the officials?
Before leaving the county government office, he said to the magistrate: "Send someone to invite Fang Kongmu. He has worked as a public servant in the Yangzhou military case, is proficient in military tactics, and is familiar with the battle formation. Before sending troops, let him give some advice."
Fang Kongmu has long retired and is enjoying his grandchildren at home.
After receiving the invitation from the magistrate, he quickly set off in a bamboo carriage and ran to the county government to meet with everyone.
Xiang Magistrate had heard about Zhu Ming’s big fuss in the county government. He was very pleased with this. The clerks controlled the county government and he could not control it at all. Zhu Ming would have had a quarrel with those people.
As long as you don’t make a big mess, no matter where you suffer, you can sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.
Even he could use Zhu Ming's hand to scare the yamen officials.
Bai Chongwu guessed correctly, Xiang Magistrate was going to demonstrate today!
This man is very magical, his courage is sometimes too small, and it is hard to understand.
Just like at the birthday party of Old Lady Bai, many gentry were forced to pay taxes, which was very bold at the time. Their subsequent performance was as cowardly as if they had cartilage disease.
Now he has courage and plans to suppress the arrogance of the clerks.
There is always a moment when I feel like the magistrate, I feel that I am doing it again. When the disaster comes, I realize that I am really not doing it.
The yamen runners ring the gong and set off in line, and the streets along the way were in chaos.
"Stop!"
The archer guarding the school ground actually stopped the magistrate and the yamen.
Bai Chongwu angrily scolded: "Bold, haven't you seen the county magistrate come?"
"Zhu Dutou has an order, no one is allowed to enter and exit the schoolyard at will." After all, the archer was from a villager and became guilty as he spoke. "I... I'll go and report it now, and ask some masters to wait."
County Magistrate Xiang was stopped outside the school ground for no reason, and suddenly felt a big loss of face. Then his mind flicked, and he smiled calmly and said to him: "I asked Zhu Dutou to strictly enforce military discipline, but he unexpectedly had the resources of famous generals. Can you tell the story of Zhou Yafu in the Han Dynasty?"
"I am so talented and unfamiliar with my studies, so I ask the county to give you advice." Bai Chongwu was angry and believed that this was arranged by the magistrate.
He asked Fang Kongmu again, "Does Mr. Fang know?"
Fang Kongmu bowed and said, "In the past, Emperor Wen of Han comforted the Liu army, but the emperor arrived, but he was unable to enter the camp. Emperor Wen condemned the envoys and ordered the generals to come, and then Zhou Yafu let it go."
"You can see the whole leopard with a glimpse of the eyes," Xiang magistrate stood with his hands behind his back, and said with great pretentiousness, "I have already seen that although Zhu Chenggong is young, he has the talent for training troops, and he specially promoted him to the capital."
Fang Kongmu quickly flattered and said, "The county master is not as good as the one who knows people."
Xiang Magistrate was happy to hear this, and no longer impatient at the moment, and stood there waiting with a smile.
After a while, Zhu Ming brought someone to welcome him: "Sir, please come in quickly. The soldiers don't know the importance of the matter, and they offended them just now."
Xiang Xiang County headed up and walked in: "It's not a problem, the military must be strictly managed. Zhu Dutou did a great job."
Zhu Ming invited everyone to the high platform of the school grounds, his expression became solemn, and he shouted: "Beat the drum and gather troops!"
"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong!"
The drums suddenly rang out, and the archers resting everywhere in the schoolyard picked up their weapons and gathered quickly in the audience.
The speed of gathering is similar to that of college students’ military training.
As for the neatness of the queue, it is far inferior to that of college students in military training.
But this is enough. Fang Kongmu had seen Yangzhou Xiangjun training, and he had some vision. He showed a shock at this moment and said in surprise: "In just over ten days, the archer can be transformed, and the Yangzhou Xiangjun has been compared."
In the three counties of Yangzhou, the Xiang Army has the strongest combat power, but it is not as good as the archer who has been training for more than ten days...
Xiang Magistrate suddenly realized that he had face again and said proudly: "I did not read the wrong person. Zhu Dutou really has the talent for training troops."
Bai Chongwu looked at the archers' weapons and said in confusion: "Is that the dung rake used by farmers?"
Zhu Ming introduced: "It's indeed a feces rake. I ordered people to knock the rake hook straight and create a new weapon called palladium."
Use a feces rake to make weapons?
Several Tisi lowered their heads and laughed, even He Tisi was laughing, for the time being that Zhu Ming had beaten him.
Fang Kongmu couldn't help asking: "That long bamboo doesn't even peel off the branches, so it's not convenient to fight?"
Zhu Ming said: "I asked the blacksmith to make some thinner darts and put them at the front of the bamboo. Those branches are also useful. Such weapons are called wolf mills."
"The lid of the pot must be a shield, undoubtedly." Fang Kongmu can learn from one example and apply it to other aspects.
Zhu Ming said: "This mandarin duck formation, the shield hands are divided into long cards and short cards. Long cards block arrows, short cards block swords and guns. The road of Heifengzhai Mountain is narrow and long cards is quite inconvenient, so I only made short cards. It is helpless to act like this, and I can't find a handy weapon."
Regardless of whether there is any hatred or not, everyone present thinks that Zhu Ming is not easy.
If it were them, they would have been lying flat long ago. They didn’t have any weapons, and they still wanted me to fight to the death?
The archer brought a few chairs and sat down at the magistrate: "And practice the drill... is it called the Mandarin Duck Formation?"
"It's called the Mandarin Duck Formation."
Zhu Ming asked some spearmen to form a traditional formation separately to attack the soldiers who listed the Mandarin Duck Formation.
Accompanied by the drum sound, three teams of mandarin duck formation soldiers led by Zhang Guangdao faced the four captains and spearmen led by Chen Ziyi.
I saw a group of wolves milling through the tunnel, and a large number of spearmen were so disturbed that they could only swing their guns to resist.
Chen Ziyi began to divide his troops, select some spearmen, and attacked around the back.
The wolf milling hand did not move and continued to move forward.
Chen Ziyi's soldiers successfully surround the side, and the modified palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palladium palla
The spearman in the Mandarin Duck Formation also poked out with great effort under the cover of the palladium.
"The third team, turn into a three-talent team!" Zhu Ming suddenly ordered.
The flag representing the third team suddenly waved forward and back three times, and then waved it left and right.
The soldiers who were observing the flag order in front immediately shouted: "The third team, the three talents are in the forefront!"
The third team's mandarin duck formation quickly changes the formation forward. In fact, it is not complicated. It is just four spearmen who choose one teammate to cooperate. One team turns into three teams and fight forward, and even can distribute people to protect the wings.
After the formation changes, the width of the battlefield increases sharply.
The enemy that could no longer support him instantly dispersed and fled.
Immediately after the formation, the third team began to turn around and attack the enemy that had not yet collapsed on both sides with the second team.
The spearmen led by Chen Ziyi were defeated on the whole line.
"Good formation!"
He clapped and praised the magistrate. Although he didn't understand it much, he also realized that the Mandarin Duck Formation was very powerful.
However, the Sixth Case Officers' expressions changed drastically. How could they dare to laugh at the archer's weapons?
Especially He Tiesi, he remembered the revenge of being beaten and wanted to take revenge after the archers were disbanded.
Now it seems that the man surnamed Zhu is a hero and must not be provoked by him anymore.
However, Zhu Ming's archers will eventually be disbanded and returned home. After they go back, they will follow the list one by one, using the excuse of urging grain wheels as an excuse to kill a few this summer!
I don’t dare to seek revenge on those surnamed Zhu, and I can’t help you ordinary archers?
Fang Kongmu walked down the platform with a crutch, approached to observe various weapons, and came back to ask Zhu Ming the key to the formation.
Zhu Ming did not hide his own personal information. No matter what Fang Kongmu asked, he would explain in detail.
