Monument Yangmen

Chapter 578 Deserters
Yang Qi was blocked by Kou Zhun at the door, and was stunned for a long time before staring at Kou Zhun in a daze.

"Brother Su...cough cough cough, do you really want to know?"

Yang Qi looked at Kou Zhun with weird eyes,

Kou Zhun felt a little terrified when he was watched, and he said in astonishment: "Is there any inside story that is not good enough for outsiders?"

Yang Qi pursed his lips and murmured: "Brother Su's situation is a bit special, and there's nothing you can't say to outsiders. It's just that anyone who knows the whereabouts of Brother Su will be tied to the same boat as Brother Su.

Once it is leaked out, everyone will die together..."

Kou Zhun blinked his eyes, lowered his voice and said, "Is it so scary?"

Yang Qi nodded decisively.

Kou Zhun murmured: "Then since you know, you should be on the same boat as Brother Su. And I am on the same boat as you. The result is actually the same.

Then you tell me! "

Seeing the thirst for knowledge in Kou Zhun's eyes, Yang Qi decided to tell Kou Zhun the truth.

Anyway, Kou Zhun has already boarded him in the thief ship, and he also knows that he has something to do with Nan Guo, so it doesn't matter if he knows a little more.

Even if Kou Zhun said it, everyone would bear the result together.

"Come with ears."

Kou Zhun pricked up his ears and approached Yang Qi.

Yang Qi said in a low voice: "The current Prime Minister of the Southern Kingdom is Brother Su."

Kou Zhun murmured subconsciously, "The current Nanguo..."

"!!!"

Kou Zhun suddenly raised his head and looked at Yang Qi in horror.

Kou Zhun is a smart person, and a smart person can easily judge many things from Yang Qi's words.

First of all, Su Yijian and him are the people Yang Qi admires the most.

But Su Yijian, a native of the Song Dynasty, served as the Prime Minister of the Southern Kingdom.

He, Kou Zhun, served as a civil servant for Yang Qi, a local tyrant, in the northwest, similar to the duties of a small country's prime minister.

Yang Qi has a very close relationship with the Southern Kingdom...

Kou Zhun shook his head in horror and said, "Impossible!"

Yang Qi looked at him with a smile, like a demon, "Guess it?!"

"I heard nothing! I don't know anything!"

Kou Zhun frantically ran out of Yang Qi's house.

There is no Shi Shiran attitude when you come here.

At the gate of Yang Qi's house, he snatched a horse and rode away.

Yang Qi immediately sent people to Fuxing Mansion to follow Kou Zhun, and also sent two scarecrows to follow Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun rode his horse and galloped all the way out of Fuxing Pass.

After leaving the Fuxing Pass, they ran aimlessly.

This state lasted for four full hours.

Behind him, two scarecrows followed closely.

And those government servants who followed from Fuxing Mansion couldn't keep up with Kou Zhun's horses.

Kou Zhun ran wildly to the foot of a big mountain, jumped off his horse, threw himself on the edge of a stream flowing down the mountain, and plunged his head into the water fiercely.

After a long time, he suddenly raised his head, water splashed everywhere, and he didn't care if his clothes were wet.

Kou Zhun raised his head, stared at the sky, and roared loudly.

"A sin!"

Kou Zhun was quite frightened. Before that, he was still in Yang Qi's house, and firmly believed that it was impossible for someone to establish a country with bare hands within two or three years.

However, reality gave him a slap in the face.

Yang Qi served in Yongzhou for two years. After being recalled to Bianjing, he basically traveled between Bianjing City and Yuandai Prefecture, and never set foot in the place adjacent to the southern country.

In other words, Yang Qi established a country in just two years.

This is definitely a pretty scary thing.

Before he figured out the relationship between Yang Qi and Nanguo, Kou Zhun thought that Yang Qi and the two governments under his rule might be able to save him.

As long as Yang Qi finds an appropriate time to show weakness to Da Song.

Da Song took the opportunity to confer Yang Qi a prince.

Under the same light and dust, after two or three generations, the land of the two prefectures may truly belong to the Song Dynasty.

Song Dynasty can also take the opportunity to extend its territory outward.

However, after Kou Zhun knew about the relationship between Yang Qi and Nan Guo, he realized how ridiculous his thoughts were.

Because, from the very beginning, Yang Qi had parted ways with the entire Song Dynasty.

There is the South Kingdom in the south, and the land of two prefectures in the north, and the territory will be even larger in the future.

One south and one north formed a situation of containment.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were placed on the north and south wings, pinching the head and tail of the Song Dynasty.

Da Song can only look at the Yang family and sigh.

The Yang family has completely got rid of the fate of being restricted by the Song Dynasty.

Not only that, the Yang family can also turn against the guests and restrict the fate of Song Dynasty.

Kou Zhun was horrified to find out that after the Song Dynasty, not only did he have to live by the faces of the Liao people, but he also had to live by the faces of the Yang family.

The attitude of the Yang family depends entirely on Yang Qi's attitude.

After all, it was Yang Qi who was behind all this.

What made Kou Zhun even more horrified was that he had been tricked into boarding a pirate ship from the very beginning, until now, when he was trapped and unable to get out, did he learn the truth.

Kou Zhun stayed by the stream for a long time, crying, laughing, moaning, and roaring.

It feels like a psycho is spitting.

No one can connect this wet and muddy guy with the chief officials of the two prefectures.

The two scarecrows reined in their horses and stopped under a tree not far from Kou Zhun, quietly watching Kou Zhun go crazy.

Kou Zhun vented his anger presumptuously, stepped on the horse back in a daze, and galloped again.

He didn't ride his horse to Fuxing Fucheng, but ran towards Fuxing Pass instead.

……

Inside the Fuxing Pass.

After seeing off Kou Zhun and his party, Yang Qi arrived in Dongying.

After the first round of selection, a total of 640 soldiers of the three cavalry passed the first assessment.

Nearly 300 people were eliminated.

The eliminated soldiers were immediately absorbed into the revival army by Yang Da.

Both Yang Qi and Yang Wu didn't care about it.

When the big waves scour the sand, all that is scoured out is sand.

The soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army have to go through thousands of tempers to become gold.

The assessment system of the future cavalry army will only be more stringent, and more people will be eliminated.

However, those eliminated in the future will not be kicked out, but will be incorporated into the reserve battalion and become servants of the regular cavalry army.

After receiving Yang Qi's review, the 640 cavalry soldiers officially set off and embarked on a journey to Dongsheng Prefecture.

Not only did they have to rush to the border guards before the handover of the party members, but they also had to wipe out some bandits in Dongsheng Prefecture who took the opportunity to make trouble when they quickly took over Dongsheng Prefecture.

At the same time, after taking over Dongsheng Prefecture, a barracks had to be built in Haoshuichuan, and a [-]-mile-long border was stationed a hundred miles west of Haoshuichuan.

In a word, time is tight and the task is in progress.

Yang Qi had already sent a letter to Chen Yao about all the supplies needed by the Iron Cavalry Army, ordering him to deliver them on time on the only way the Iron Cavalry Army would go to Dongsheng Prefecture.

"fierce!"

"fierce!"

"fierce!"

Amid the solemn roar of the revival army, the cavalry army, led by Yang Wu, left the Fuxing Pass.

Outside the Fuxing Pass, the [-] young and old men of the Land Reclamation Corps also packed their bags and followed them to Dongsheng Prefecture.

There are [-] civilians with military registration in the Land Reclamation Corps, which is a huge number of people.

It is also a guarantee for the self-sufficiency of the soldiers and horses under Yang Qi's command.

Dongsheng Prefecture has a vast territory and a sparse population, and it needs people from the Land Reclamation Corps to develop it.

At this time, the benefits of the Agricultural Reclamation Corps are also reflected.

The Land Reclamation Corps, which is semi-military, does not need to be summoned or mobilized at all. They will go there when Yang Qi points it out.

A total of nearly 4 people marched on the road outside the Fuxing Pass, stretching for several miles.

Standing on the top of Fuxing Pass, Yang Qi looked at them who were far away, and said with emotion: "In this era of lack of machinery, population is fundamental."

At this moment, Yang Qi suddenly felt that as long as he was given a population, he could create many feats that shocked the world.

"What machine?"

An untimely voice sounded in Yang Qi's ear, Yang Qi turned his head and saw that Yang Da was standing behind him at some point.

Yang Qi twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a light smile: "It's nothing... You just got the pawns eliminated from the cavalry army, and you are preparing to practice the revival army? Why do you have the leisure to come to the city wall?"

Yang Da put his hands behind his back, looked at Yang Qi and said: "The iron cavalry army is gone, I guess you won't stay in Fuxing Pass any longer?"

Yang Qi hesitated for a moment, but nodded honestly.

Yang Da sighed, "When are you leaving?"

Yang Qidao: "I have already sent someone to write to Shang Qingzi, and I will leave when he arrives at Fuxing Pass."

Yang Da nodded, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Recently, there have been deserters in the revival army..."

Yang Da's voice was very low, but Yang Qi was quite shocked.

"what happened?"

Yang Da smiled wryly: "After staying in the barracks for a long time, some will not be strong, and I feel uncomfortable..."

Yang Qi was a little dumbfounded, he never thought that Yang Da would give such an answer.

This is indeed a problem.

More than 5 full-blooded men are piled up in a camp, and there is no shadow of a woman all day long. It is indeed easy to cause problems if you hold back for a long time.

This problem does not only exist in the soldiers and horses under Yang Qi's command.

In Song Dynasty, this problem is also very serious.

Therefore, in the army of Song Dynasty, there is an unknown industry.

Camp prostitutes...

In the history books of all dynasties, it is difficult to tell about this matter, and it is ashamed to show it to the world.

But they do exist.

And most of them are the wives and daughters of prisoners.

Yang Qi is not so mad, he set up camp prostitutes in the army.

When in the southern country, most of the troops in the southern country basically adopted the customary policy of integrating military and civilians.

Their home is very close to the camp, and they have a monthly vacation to go home to visit relatives.

Even some senior generals simply sleep at home on weekdays.

This situation does not apply to the Northwest.

Even if Yang Qi established a policy of integrating military and civilians in Fuxingguan, Yang Da would not allow it.

Fuxing Pass is a strategic location, and Yang Da will never allow soldiers and civilians to mix together to increase the difficulty of guarding Fuxing Pass.

Yang Qi lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his head and asked Yang Da, "Brother, what do you think about letting the soldiers retire after they reach a certain age?"

Yang Da frowned, "A certain age? Forty? Fifty?"

Yang Qi shook his head and said, "25."

Yang Da resolutely refused: "This is impossible."

Yang Qi smiled and said: "What I mean by retiring from the army does not mean that everyone is retiring from the army, but the soldiers below the squad leader level. This will ensure that when we encounter wars, even leading recruits, There will be no confusion in the command.

Moreover, once we encounter a war, we can flexibly extend the service period of the soldiers.At the same time, veterans who have been discharged from the army can also be recalled.

In other words, it is hiding soldiers in the people.

We can't afford to support so many soldiers and horses at once, so we only need to let them go back to the people and support themselves after rigorously training them.

We can call it back when we need it.

In this case, we can not only raise the most soldiers and horses with the least money.

At the same time, it can also alleviate the soldiers' homesickness and uncomfortable problems. "

After hearing Yang Qi's explanation, Yang Da seemed dissatisfied, and still frowned, "Then how do you solve the problems of generals at all levels?"

Yang Qi was stunned, and said: "The number of family members of generals at all levels is not as large as that of soldiers, and it is convenient to move. You can build towns and resettle nearby near the military stronghold. A certain holiday."

Yang Da frowned, and pondered: "Your idea is too bold, unprecedented. It can almost be said that there is no trace to be found, and there is no guarantee that there will be no mistakes."

Yang Qi said seriously: "No."

Yang Dao: "Why don't you invite Dad, Uncle Hong, Uncle Wang, Shang Qingzi, and the Tuan Zheng at all levels to sit down and discuss it together?"

Yang Qi nodded and said: "Then in my name, invite them to the Fuxing Wuyuan to discuss it together. By the way, it can also give Fuxing Wuyuan a lot of face."

"it is good."

……

After discussing the matter, the two brothers left separately.

As soon as Yang Qi got off the city wall of Fuxing Pass, he bumped into Kou Zhun with red eyes.

Kou Zhun's clothes were covered with mud, his hair was disheveled, and he was in a mess.

Yang Qi looked at Kou Zhun in surprise, "Didn't you go back to Fuxing Fucheng? How did you make yourself into such a virtue? Could it be that someone robbed you? There are bandits near Fuxing Pass. Tell me where the bandits are. I Send people to encircle them and avenge you."

"Yang Yansi..."

With red eyes, Kou Zhun let out a low growl, and swung his fists wildly at Yang Qi.

Yang Qi turned sideways and easily dodged Kou Zhun's fist.

But Kou Zhun didn't intend to stop at all, and punched wildly with eight fists.

The soldiers who discovered this scene wanted to step forward to capture the mad Kou Zhun.

But Yang Qi raised his hand to stop it.

With Kou Zhun's force, it is impossible to hurt Yang Qi in the slightest.

Yang Qi saw that Kou Zhun obviously wanted to vent his anger, so he let him beat around there.

Kou Zhun fought a set of Wang Baquan for half an hour, and finally lost his strength and collapsed on the ground.

Yang Qi squatted in front of Kou Zhun with a smile, "I still can't accept it, so you want to vent to me?"

Kou Zhun panted heavily, waved his arms, and said in a low voice, "Let me hit you..."

Yang Qi shook his head, clicked his lips, and said: "Since you already know my identity, then you should know that beating me is a serious crime."
