Chapter 433 Immortal Brew

All Qi soldiers focused on their work, regarding tens of thousands of Jin troops two miles away as nothing, but just focused on cutting down one head after another, or stripping away all the Jin soldiers.

When the city was siege a few days ago, the Qi army lost about 300 people and injured more than 500 people.

The Qi army at the cavalry outpost at the previous cavalry suffered a little loss, probably losing more than fifty cavalry, but the battle in front of him was fought back.

The final result has not been counted yet, but the Jin army lost no less than two thousand, maybe three thousand, while the Qi army itself has no more than one hundred people.

"Haha, the cavalry directly attacked the defensive positions, but it was also a pity that the Tartars dared to do it." Xu Shiyang sneered.

In fact, he could probably guess what the Tartars thought - it was just to overwhelm the Qi army with its momentum.

If the morale of the Qi army is crushed, they can achieve their goals at a smaller cost.

If the situation is the opposite..., just like now, it is also a one-sided massacre, but the role is just the opposite.

It's simply gambling.

And he lost the bet.

Lost a lot.

‘Look at how you will face my military flag in the future!’

Xu Shiyang Zhi looked at the enemy gradually moving away in the distance with pride.

He had no doubt that the Tartars had been completely overwhelmed by themselves in terms of morale. If they fight in the future, there is no need to fight. The Tartars were three points shorter!

"Your days are counting down."

Xu Shiyang proudly picked up the wine glass and pointed it into the distance.

"Commander." Li Jinghuai climbed the city tower and came to Xu Shiyang: "The statistics have come out. We killed 2,200 levels in the formation and captured more than 600 prisoners."

"The captive confessed that the one who led the team to charge this time was Wanyan Zonggan. He was knocked off the horse by us, but we didn't know how to live or die. We only identified his two sons in the pile of corpses."

"Just pretend he is not dead." Xu Shiyang handed the wine glass in his hand to Li Jinghuai without any concern.

The brigade commander of Dingyuan brigade took the wine glass and drank it all: "The commander is stingy, this thing has no smell of wine at all."

"I didn't say this is wine." Xu Shiyang smiled and said, "It's easy to drink. I'll give you two bottles of wine in two days."

A few years ago, Xu Shiyang introduced Parce grapes in Daze Mountain near Pingdu. Recently, he has gained some harvest and the quality of the product is also good. Whether it is used for dried fruits, fruits or winemaking.

However, the number of products is insufficient now. In the past two years, only 500 bottles of wine can be obtained every year. It is used as tribute to the Grand Governor, Jiangnan Wen Xianggong and Emperor Longdao each have 100 bottles, and the rest will flow into the market.

For the soldiers fighting on the front line, wine is not as good as their appetite, and they prefer distilled liquor called sauté.

However, wine is very popular among scholars from Jiangnan. Only 500 bottles of tribute wine a year, paired with a crystal clear glass bottle, and a small wooden sign was hung on the mouth of the bottle. The anonymous Xu Shiyang copied the "Liangzhou Qu" by Wang Han of Tang (this era was changed to "Liaodong Qu"), which instantly raised the cultural level of Qisheng wine.

Today, there are people in the Liaodong Qu (wine named Liaodong Qu) in Qi Province that offer more than 100 trump cards in Jiangnan. Basically, only Wenfu, Xu Shiliu, Xu Shisong and Zhang Mingyi, who supervises the military in Qi Province, can leak a few bottles.

"Haha, the commander sold that thing to Lord Zhang. He can earn fifty taels per bottle. Are you really willing to do it?"

"Just two bottles of wine, what does this matter?"

Xu Shiyang pointed to the city and laughed:

“There is victory here!”

"Victory is the most mellow and fairy wine!"

"Every soldier from Dingyuan Travel can get two bottles of soju today! One bottle for each of the other departments!"

"Commander, if you get drunk, you can't work." Li Jinghuai quickly persuaded.

"Today, the Central Army Guards are responsible for patrol and duty, and they will give them their wine after they go back." Xu Shiyang did not change his mind at all.

Just get drunk, he doesn't believe that the Tartars dare to come and die.

"Li Jinghuai, I tell you, the outcome of our war with the Tartars has been decided! We will surely win!"

Xu Shiyang said excitedly:

"Three years! At most three years, we can solve the Jurchen Tartars!"

"Li Jinghuai, from now on, you are responsible for garrisoning Gaizhou. I will give you most of the cavalry. Every spring and autumn harvest, you will send cavalry to attack the Liaozhong Plain, and make sure to make the Tartars uneasy!"

This is the best way to weaken the Tartars and a good opportunity to train cavalry.

"Appoint the order!"

"Jing Huai, remember that our prospects are not just in this small space! Qisheng is not our limit, Liaodong is not, and even Dazhou is not!"

Xu Shiyang raised his neck and poured all the juice in the bottle into his mouth. This thing does not contain alcohol and is not intoxicating at all, but it is not drunk by the alcohol. Xu Shiyang even felt a little drunk.

"You all do your best! This commander will not hesitate to reward the Duke and the Marquis!"

This was the first time that Xu Shiyang spoke to his subordinates in the tone of a monarch, and it was the only time in a long time since then.

...

In early November of the third year of Longdao, Xu Shiyang led the Central Army Guards back to Dengzhou.

At this time, although the new army had ten brigades and dozens of field troops with a total of 40,000 people, they had actually occupied most of the territory of Qi, Hebei and Liao provinces and suppressed Goryeo, so the troops were quite dispersed.

The original Grand Commander's Office only occupied the five prefectures of Qi Province, and later added the southern Liao and Dongchang Prefectures, which was essentially the territory of the same province.

However, after the Gaizhou Battle, Qi Province actually increased the ten prefectures of Hebei Province and the entire southern Liaoning area, and the area of ​​the controlled area was twice as widened!

These newly added territories need to be reorganized and the people of the households need to be reorganized, bandits need to be eliminated, water conservancy needs to be rebuilt, and various Tartars need to be prevented from invasion and harassment - Hebei Province borders the grassland, and now Xu Shiyang cannot only prevent one Jurchen Tartar.

Therefore, the forces of the ten field brigades, Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, Zhiyuan are located in southern Liaoning, Jingyuan is stationed in Phoenix City, Pingyuan, Jiyuan, Yueyuan, come to Hebei Province, Weiyuan, Yuyuan Province, Qi Province, and pepper-sprayed surface is equal to the old and new territory, and is almost completely unable to move.

Except for independent combat units such as cavalry, independent artillery, Blue Army, trapped, Marine Corps and Central Guards, the Qi army could not even be relocated from a field brigade!

Of course, getting the territory and the population are just temporary troubles that can always be solved.

Just expand the army.

After all, the new army has the strength to expand. Now each company of all troops, including the corps, cavalry, cannon, striker selection, Ruiz, divine machine, etc., has two teams, and the number of grassroots sergeants is sufficient. Half of them are used to build new units. Then, the militia that has been trained after a short-term training can be filled in and formed an army.

This is actually where modern troops surpass the feudal army - it is too easy for qualified soldiers to supplement them.

Therefore, the temporary lack of mobile troops is not a problem, and it can be solved in at most half a year. Now, for Qi Province, the biggest problem is actually an imperial edict from the Jiangnan court:

In the name of regaining Yan Yun, Xu Mujiang was named King of Yan.

In the name of regaining southern Liao, Xu Shiyang was named King of Liao.
