Chapter four hundred and fortieth 9: The army is full of hidden Sichuan and Shu
Spring goes and autumn comes, and several summer rains fall. The osmanthus tree planted by the charming woman in Diaoyu City also grew quietly.
The osmanthus flowers bloomed, and the fragrance filled the entire fishing city, causing many children to run outside the state palace when they were free. They did not dare to climb the wall, for fear that the vicious and rude guys inside would come out to beat people, so they would only dare to stretch their heads and sniff the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.
Since the relocation of King Wen’s Mansion and the five ministries to Chengdu Prefecture, Diaoyu City has become much lonely. The Wen’s Mansion, which had countless people entering and leaving every day, has also become the provincial governor. The owner has become Song Kai, who also serves as the governor of Yuzhou Prefecture, and the rules are relatively strict.
On that afternoon, Song Kai sat next to the lake in the backyard of the Zhoumu Mansion, sitting opposite a young man in black. There was a chessboard on the table, with two black and white pieces scattered into countless pieces.
Compared with half a year ago, the current president of Yitong College served as the governor of Yuzhou Prefecture. Song Kai, the magistrate of Diaoyu County, is more mature. He has a long crown and a band embroidered with cloud patterns on his blue brocade clothes and a beard with a rough and elegant style. In recent years, many of his daughters in Yuzhou were fascinated by him and wanted to marry him.
The young man sitting in front of Song Kai was two or three years older than him. He wore a purple gold crown on his head, and a black cloak embroidered silver python on the outside, and a light-colored cross-collar simple dress, dark blue underwear and pure black boots. His clothes were obviously much more refined than Song Kai's workmanship, showing a bit of the style of a vassal king.
Seeing Song Kai glance at his clothes from time to time, Yao Ruoyu grinned and held the black man in his hand, and smiled proudly: "You go buy one too! Every time I come here, you wear this official uniform. Do you show me integrity or deliberately pretend to be poor?"
Song Kai pulled up the corner of his lips slightly, and suddenly put a white piece in the corner of the chess game, and said calmly: "I'm used to it. This outfit looks pretty good, there's no need to change it."
"That's a must!" Yao Ruoyu smiled and put down his son casually. "The civil service uniforms are all customized in Jinse Clothing Village. How can they not look good?"
If he had been a survivor here for half a year, Song Kai might have rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "I'm very happy to advertise his own industry, right?"
"Oh! Don't do this!" Yao Ruoyu smiled. He was wearing gorgeous clothes and still had a bit of style when he didn't speak. Unfortunately, his nature was revealed as soon as he spoke. "Who made you unwilling to participate at the beginning? Zan, Xunhuan's business is better than my cloth shop, and you will make money crazy."
Thinking of all the things that have happened in the past six months, Song Kai couldn't help but smile a little.
After Yao Ruoyu returned from Hangdu, he ordered the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce to specifically manage all salt, iron and cloth businesses in Dawen. He also had internal departments responsible for the corresponding business, such as mine and iron, cloth, horses, grain and grass departments.
As the saying goes, the fat and water will not flow to outsiders' fields. Yao Ruoyu threw all the heads of these departments to his confidants, such as cloth belonging to him, iron from mines and iron from Fu Zan, and horses from Li Yilin. Among them, the Bai family also divided the salt business. After the people of the Literature and Art Department had divided it up, they delegated the rest and allowed others to compete.
Only by monopoly can we make a lot of money. In the past six months, everyone has almost no need to open the back door to make private money as before. They make a lot of money, and they are jealous of those who fail to get jurisdiction.
The two played chess for a while. Song Kai and Yao Ruoyu were busy with daily affairs and had no time to study chess. Both of them were unreasonable and the chess face was in chaos. In the end, Yao Ruoyu couldn't stand it. He waved his sleeves and messed up the chess piece, and said, "I can't put it down."
Song Kai smiled, not protesting the fact that he was about to win, picked up the drink and took a sip, and said, "Do you want to go there to see?"
"Nonsense! Otherwise, what am I going to do?" Yao Ruoyu smiled, got up and shook his clothes, and asked casually, "How are you doing recently?"
Song Kai replied: "I just filtered it again three days ago to ensure that every soldier is perfect in the third realm. The battalion generals and the generals are also held by the fifth and fourth realms respectively. They were secretly recruited half a year ago, and their identities have been checked, so there is no problem."
Yao Ruoyu nodded slightly, walked out of the provincial Mu Mansion side by side with Song Kai, walked around the city, went out from the north, walked into the deep mountains, and crossed several lines of defense. In a moment, he had already entered a valley.
Before they could enter, the two sensed that the blood and energy in the valley were soaring. When they showed their identities, they walked into the valley. There was a basin in the valley. Within the sight, there were several huge camps, with people surging, armor and armor. A stream of martial arts meanings surged, making people's blood surging.
You can see from the height of the valley entrance that there are three camps on the left of the basin and more on the right, with six camps on the fullest.
The soldiers on the three camps on the left were all wearing red and green chain mail, their helmets were in the shape of an eagle head, and several iron feathers stood on their shoulders. The weapon in their hands was a big sword.
The armor and weapons of the three camps on the right are the same, with short-sleeved iron armor inlaid with heart protection mirrors and a short shield hanging on each of their arms. They did not take weapons such as swords and guns, but were wearing steel fists in their hands.
At this moment, the two armies were practicing. Every time they shouted loudly, they would shake the valley. If it weren't for the spiritual array arranged on the edge to isolate the movement, I guess the sound here would be heard in Diaoyu City not far from here.
Yao Ruoyu and Song Kai watched quietly for a while, and until the exercise was over, they walked down the valley and walked straight to the camp on the left.
As soon as they appeared, they alarmed the guard post in the first camp. When they saw the person clearly, the guard post quickly ran into the camp. Without a moment, Yu Jieyi, in military uniform, walked out of the camp quickly with three burly men.
"Brother Yao!" Before he got close, Yu Jieyi greeted him with great joy, then quickly ran to the front, hugged Yao Ruoyu, and whimpered, "You finally came. Brother Kai is so inhumane. He has been locking him here. He has been out twice in half a year, but he still snatches the time. It's too much! Save me!"
Seeing the young daughter posture of the heroic commander in the past, the three camp generals following behind him were all embarrassed. Yao Ruoyu was also helpless and pulled up the long-legged royal sister in his arms, and smiled bitterly: "After all, they are generals, pay attention to their image!"
"No matter! The sky is big, the earth is big, the demon brother is the biggest!" He pouted his mouth, Yu Jieyi crossed her fingers and pressed her chin, making a pitiful look, "Hurry up and let everyone go out! It's been half a year, and she hasn't even finished visiting Diaoyu City!"
After half a year of separation, Yu Jieyi is now much more neat and cool, but there is a bit of vicissitudes between her eyebrows that have not been seen before. Yao Ruoyu felt a little distressed when she saw this, turned her head to look at Song Kai. The latter had no expression on his face and said lightly: "It's only half a day."
"One day, no, two days!" stretched out two fingers, Yu Jieyi looked at Song Kai pitifully. Seeing that he had no reaction, she could only look at Yao Ruoyu, who covered her forehead and smiled bitterly: "Kaikai, why not...a day and a half?"
Song Kai frowned, and finally nodded in agreement. Yu Jieyi immediately cheered, took off her helmet and threw it to the person behind, waved and smiled, "You can work hard to train the army these two days, and I will come back when I get back, bring you delicious food."
These three generals in the camp were all big men with burly figures, so they would not be as greedy as hers. It seemed that they had suffered under Yu Jieyi's hands. The three of them nodded seriously and said, "Give me a gift to my elder sister!"
Seeing this, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said nothing. He grabbed Yu Jieyi who was about to slip away and said with a smile: "What's the hurry? I'm a rare time to come here. I'll take a walk with me first, and then take you a day and a half off."
"Two days, two days..." Yu Jieyi muttered. Seeing Song Kai's dark face, she could only follow the two of them to the three camps on the right with a smile.
The movement here just now had already alarmed the army there. Before a few people approached, seven people had already walked out of it. They were tall and stubborn, with a large serrated sword hanging around their waists. It was Geng Rui, the former subordinate of the Zi Yan Qi Army.
Seeing Yao Ruoyu, Geng Rui walked towards him and knelt on one knee before he could get close to him, saying in a deep voice: "Geng Rui, the commander of the army of the army, has seen Lord Wen."
"President Geng asked for it first," he helped him up, Yao Ruoyu looked at the six people behind Geng Rui, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Thank you for these hard times."
"Not working hard!" Shaking his head, Geng Rui grinned and showed his yellow teeth. "To be honest, when I was in Quzhou before, I dreamed that I was still in the army every day. Thanks to the prince not caring about Geng Rui's previous bad deeds, he gave me the opportunity to lead the army again. Happy, haha, happy!"
Seeing that he was so happy about Shu, Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but smile and nodded: "This time I came here to see how your army and Yuanyang army are doing."
"Don't worry, Prince!" When talking about military affairs, Geng Rui's face was solemn, and he clasped his fists, "Everyone of the Sixth Battalion of the Army in the Conquering Army is a good man."
Looking at the six camp generals behind, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "You can tell by looking at the seven of you! All of them are great heroes!"
Seeing that King Wen praised himself, the six generals in the camp were all full of joy.
After returning to Wenbang half a year ago, Yao Ruoyu quietly established two new armies, with Yu Jieyi and Geng Rui as commanders respectively, and then Song Kai, who had just been transferred to the prefecture of Yuzhou, opened a valley in Diaoyu Mountain to serve as a place for training.
The two armies are named Yuanyang Army and the Crane Army. The former's arms are modeled by Yao Ruoyu using the Iron Eagle Swordsman founded by Sima Cuo during the Qin Dynasty, and the latter uses the Wei Wuzhang, a famous general of Wei State in the early Warring States Period.
Of course, in order to avoid others' suspicion, Yao Ruoyu deliberately changed the name of the two to the Yuanyang Swordsman and the Martial Swordsman.
Yu Jieyi is a general in the fifth realm, so the Yuanyang Army and the Thunder God Army have nine thousand people, while Geng Rui is the commander of the Sixth realm. It is a waste of just taking charge of nine thousand people. Yao Ruoyu simply waved his pen and expanded the army into the sixth battalion, with a total of eighteen thousand people.
In the past six months, the two armies have been training here for many years, and occasionally sneak out to fight against the Jin soldiers in Shaanxi. So although it only took half a year, almost everyone here is an elite force in a hundred battles.
In addition to building these two new armies, Yao Ruoyu also handed over the training methods of the archer and Qin Dynasty Tiangang spearmen during the Warring States Period to Jiang Siyu and Chen Meng, and also made the Red Shirt and Tiance Army the Xuan-level and Huang-level troops respectively.
Although Da Wen'an has been in good health for the past six months, the Literary and Art Army has never taken action, which makes the world think that they are resting and attacking Sichuan and Sichuan, in fact, the Literary and Art Army has been expanding again and again, and its strength is far better than the beginning.
Today's Literary and Art Army, the Dark Night Dragon Cavalry, the Thunder God Army, the Rock Tiger Army, the Red Shirt Army, the Beast God Army, the Han Iron Army, the Divine Eagle Army, the Tiance Army, and the Yuanyang Army have a total of nine military towns of the third battalion. Together with the sixth battalion-scale army, the entire 99,000 army, nearly 100,000. If the troops stationed in various places are added, the number will be even worse.
Moreover, the Literary and Art Army itself, the Heaven-level Dark Night Dragon Knight, the Earth-level Western Chu Lei Knight, the Xuan-level Mandarin Duck Swordsman and Sequoia Archer, and other Yellow-level armies are all not ordinary troops. In terms of strength alone, they can be compared with the 500,000 army.
