My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 151

Thanks to Wang Lin's great achievements, the holy family is in prosperity, and Zhao Ji will not object to anything.Lu Yihao felt that at this time, if Wang Lin said that he would support himself in the future, there was a possibility of rebellion, which was tantamount to seeking his own death.

Besides, Zhao Ji felt that keeping soldiers and horses in the hands of his disciples could still save his life at critical moments, which was better than falling into the hands of the Zhong family or other warlords.

Facts have proved this point.

For example, the boy in the past, how much I trusted him, but what happened?Didn't you betray me and almost took my life.

And Cai Jing's son-in-law Liang Shijie.

Let alone one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, the current Fuhu Army and Wang Lin, not to mention Tongguan in their heyday, are far behind the clans in the northwest, Jiangnan, Huainan, Jiannan, and the southwestern feudal towns.

It is in the stage of growth and development, and it is not yet time to suppress the balance.

This is Zhao Ji's true state of mind.

As for Zhang Shuye, he was completely public-minded.

In Zhang Shuye's view, a talented person like Wang Lin must be vigorously supported. In the future, whether he will fight against foreign enemies or check and balance the power of the domestic generals, it will be of great benefit to the Song court.

Before that, he also communicated with Zhao Ji and Prince Zhao Huan.

Supporting Wang Lin's rise as a new faction is a shortcut to preserve the stability of the Song Dynasty.

The status of the Western Army as the elite of the Forbidden Army has not been shaken.In fact, there is no need to doubt the loyalty of the established forces such as the Chong Family Army and the Zhe Family Army, but there are still major variables in the future. It is in the political interest of the royal family to check and balance by supporting a powerful subduing tiger army.

This is the most wise decision Zhao Ji has made since he ascended the throne.

……

Liang Shijie's rebel army was destroyed.

Liang Shijie was beheaded by Suo Chao.

Wen Da died at the hands of Yang Zhi.

Li Tiancheng was shot to death by Hua Rong.

Yu Dajiang was chopped off by Wu Song.

Lu Bin, the jade-faced little purple capital, used to be Luan Tingyu's apprentice, but Luan Tingyu failed to persuade him to surrender, and was beheaded by Li Kui with a sharp axe.

Although Yue Fei did not kill the generals before the battle, he led the whole army to help and stabilize Yingtian Mansion as scheduled, which was the first contribution of the authorities.

Two days later, Yue Fei led his [-] Fuhu Army to the capital and set up camp outside the city.

Yan Qing led his cavalry back to the army.

After soliciting Wang Lin's opinions and suggestions, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War discussed it together, and discussed it with several ministers in the Political Affairs Hall. After reporting to the official Zhao Ji for approval, the canonized edict for Wang Lin and the generals under his command came down.

Of course, before that, the emperor also issued an imperial edict to praise Li Gang and Zhang Shuye. The two were extremely human ministers and could not be conferred Jin, but they both added the political glory of Kaifu Yitong and the third division. The position of the imperial court was more stable.

"Wang Lin, because of his meritorious service, Dr. Ziguanglu, awarded the goldfish bag, and knew the affairs of the Privy Council. Jin Bohai County Duke, Shangzhu Kingdom. The rest of the duties were dispatched as before. As usual, he led the subjugation of the Tiger Army. Shandong six prefectures and coastal defense affairs."

For Wang Lin, since he was promoted from the second rank to the second rank, he has obtained a bunch of beautiful titles and vacancies, as well as the title of Duke of the county. In fact, the real real power lies in the general system of the Fuhu Army and the general control of the six states.

But for the generals under Wang Lin's command, it was a fish jumping over the dragon's gate, and the shotgun was changed.

"Yue Fei, because of his meritorious service, he was awarded the position of Doctor Xuanzheng, Captain of Shangqi, and Inspector of Qingzhou. He was actually awarded the command of the deputy capital of the Fuhu Army's Horse Infantry Army."

Yue Fei is the fifth rank, and thus officially established the No.1 status in the army under Wang Lin's command.

"Hua Rong, the former deputy governor of Qingfeng Village, was given to the doctor of Zhongwei because of his meritorious service. He has the right to know the affairs of Qingzhou Prefecture, and he is actually given the command of Fuhu Army. From the fifth grade."

"The soldiers and horses of Qingzhou used to control Qin and Ming. Because of their meritorious service, they were transferred to Doctor Yiwei, and Dengzhou governor. They were actually given the command of Fuhu Army. From the fifth grade."

"Yang Zhi, because of his meritorious service, he was awarded the Zhongwei doctor and the Zizhou defense envoy. He was actually given the command of the Fuhu Army. From the fifth rank."

"Yanqing, because of his meritorious service, he was awarded to the doctor of Zhongwei, and he was actually given the command of the Fuhu Army, and he was the observation envoy of Denglai. From the fifth grade."

"Dong Ping, the former military governor of Dongping Mansion, was awarded the title of Zhongwei doctor because of his meritorious service. He was actually given the command of the Subduing Tiger Army and was also the governor of Weizhou. From the fifth rank."

"Wu Song, because of his meritorious service, he was awarded the captaincy of the government of Bohai County, the deputy commander of the Fuhu Army, and the supervisor of the soldiers and horses in Mizhou. He is the sixth rank."

"Luan Tingyu, because of his meritorious service, was conferred the title of Lieutenant General of the Government of Bohai County, and actually authorized the Deputy Commander of the Fuhu Army. It is the sixth grade."

"Huang Xin, the former Qingzhou Military and Horse Supervisor, was conferred on Dr. Zuo Wu for his meritorious service, and the Deputy Envoy of Dengzhou Observation. He was actually awarded the Deputy Commander of the Fuhu Army. It is the sixth rank."

"Hua Rui, because of his meritorious service, he was awarded the title of Feiqi Lieutenant of the Government of Bohai County, and he was actually awarded the Commander of the Fuhu Army. He is from the sixth rank. He is granted the honor of the sixth class."

"Hu Sanniang, because of her meritorious service, she was awarded the title of Lieutenant Yunqi of the Bohai County Government, and was actually awarded the Commander of Fuhu Army. She is the seventh rank."

"Li Kui, because of his meritorious service, he was awarded the title of Lieutenant Yunqi of the Bohai County Government, and he was actually awarded the commander of Fuhu Army. He is the seventh rank."

"Suochao, confer meritorious deeds and crimes, and confer the title of Lieutenant Yunqi of the Bohai County Government, and actually confer the command envoy and acting deputy commander of the Fuhu Army. It is the seventh rank."

"Shi Jin, because of his meritorious service, he was awarded the Martial Cavalry Captain of the Government of Bohai County, and he was actually awarded the command envoy and acting deputy commander of the Fuhu Army. From the seventh rank."

"Tang Huai, Wang Gui, Niu Gao, and Hu Cheng were awarded to Dun Wulang for their meritorious service, and they were actually awarded the deputy commander of the Fuhu Army. They are the eighth rank."

"Yan Shun, Zheng Tianshou, Zhou Tong, Cheng Xinlang, commanding the Fuhu Army. From the ninth grade."

Because of the meritorious service of the two colorful tigers in defeating the Iron Forest Army, Zhao Ji actually gave a title of Deputy Lieutenant of Shouque Jinyong, and also gave him a red flower.

Of course, for the two tigers, this is far worse than feeding a bunch of flesh and blood.

After this, everyone gets their own place and promotion, and it can be said that everyone is happy.

In fact, part-time jobs are not important, what is important is serving in the Fuhu Army.

Yue Fei was the biggest winner this time. Of course, this was obviously also Wang Lin's intentional promotion. As Wang Lin's deputy, he has since established his position in the Fuhu Army that no one can shake.

It depends on generals like Hua Rong to fight the enemy, and it depends on Yue Fei to command the army and fight in the middle.

Huarong has jumped from a small sesame official to a high-ranking official of the fifth rank. He not only has a military position, but also temporarily serves as the prefect of Qingzhou.

Huarui got a formal military post, and even the officials heard that she was still Wang Lin's concubine, Ru Furen, and that she was also from a famous family. On the spur of the moment, she was given a sixth-class imperial order. Although the rank was very low, it was ultimately an imperial imperial order.

Brother and sister Huarong embraced each other and wept.

……

Two days later, the Longxiang army, which had encircled and suppressed the Liao people, returned to the division.

A total of more than [-] Liao war horses were captured in this campaign. Wang Lin came up with this idea, sneaked into the palace to meet with Zhao Ji twice, and said many good things before taking these Khitan war horses as his own.

Lu Yihao wanted to make a complaint, but was blocked by Li Gang's understatement.

This campaign was the work of Wang Lin, so why not capture the horses and return them to the Fuhu Army?What's more, the Fuhu Army has just formed an army, and the supplies and equipment provided by the court are far from enough.

Song people just lacked horses.

If you want to build a cavalry with strong combat power, it will be able to compete with the tiger cavalry in the future. Other equipment is easy to say, but the most difficult thing is the horse.

If you want to have cavalry, you must have war horses. The difference between war horses and ordinary horses can be described as the difference between clouds and mud.

With 5 horses per person, the requirements for war horses are quite high.

In other words, if Wang Lin wanted to form [-] cavalry, he would need at least [-] to [-] horses.

Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi had obtained 4 war horses during the Northern Expedition.

For this reason, Zhao Guangyi formed the strongest cavalry in the history of the Song Dynasty-the Jingsai Army.

The Jingsai army once defeated the Khitans, which shows that the Han cavalry is well trained, at least not weaker than the horsemen.

For the Han regime, where did the horse come from?There is only one answer, Ma Zheng.

In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu established as many as 36 pastor gardens in the six counties of Hexi, raising nearly 30 horses in total.

The Tang Dynasty was even more terrifying. During the Gaozong period alone, the number of horses was as high as 70, and good horses were introduced from more than 30 surrounding countries. The good horses bred were called "Tang horses". They were tall and tall. The momentum is amazing.

In fact, there was no shortage of horses in the Song Dynasty. There were 20 horses during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong.Most horse farms are near Tokyo.

But in Zhao Ji's period, the court system was in disorder, and the horse administration was basically abolished.

The Liao and Jin Dynasties had strict control over the trade of war horses, and the tea-horse trade was closed from time to time, so the source of war horses at this time was mainly purchased through merchants at high prices.

In the afternoon of that day, Wang Lin inadvertently learned from Han Jiayan that there was a naturalized barbarian with the surname Murong in Tokyo. Xixia and even the secret channel of the Jinren horse folk trade, so I went to visit.

Wang Lin decided to purchase a batch of war horses at a high price to provide basic guarantees for the formation of Fuhu cavalry.

As for funds, it is definitely impossible to count on the court.

The silver reserves in Murong Yanda's treasury that Wang Lin suppressed, Wang Lin planned to use from the beginning to buy war horses, preferably Mongolian horses.

Tokyo, Murong Mansion.

Although the family name is Murong, they have actually been naturalized for three generations, and they are all Han Chinese.

Hearing the visit of Wang Lin, the most popular Duke of Bohai County and the commander-in-chief of Fuhu Army, the patriarch Murong Cheng and his eldest son Murong Cong laughed and said, "Cong'er, the opportunity for my Murong family's fortune has arrived!"

Murong Cong was stunned: "Where did father come from?"

"Do you know why this Bohai County Office came here? My family is a merchant's family. He is a senior official of the second rank, with a high position and authority. A prince from one side made a special trip to visit him. It has a profound meaning."

Murong Cheng smiled slightly.

Murong Cong immediately came to his senses: "For the war horse?"

"Of course. If the Fuhu Army wants to build cavalry, horses are indispensable. It is useless to count on the imperial court. There are only a handful of war horses that the imperial court can use, and they are all among the Western Army. Do you think that kind of home can be released?"

"That's why he can only come to our Murong family. I hinted to the Han family that day, and indeed Wang Lin came."

Murong Cong thought for a moment: "I don't know what father wants?"

Murong Cheng laughed loudly: "I'll see you first. Cong'er, let's go out with my father."

Murong Cheng and his son knelt at the door to greet them, Wang Lin smiled and helped them up.

The host and guest sat down and served tea again. Wang Lin was never the kind of person who beat around the bush, so he immediately expressed his intentions.

"Ask Patriarch Murong, what is the value of a war horse, for example, from the Liao and Jin Dynasties?"

Murong Cheng didn't even think about it, and said directly: "The market price is at least 120 yuan, and there is a price but no market, it is extremely rare."

Wang Lin's face turned pale with shock, isn't this nima too expensive?
