Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 175 Practicing cavalry, two brothers deceived the master
When Hu Sanniang got up the next morning, her feet were soft when she got out of bed, she turned her face and complained dissatisfiedly: "You are too rude, how can I go to work in the supervisory committee today? I died laughing when I saw it."

Sun Xin was refreshed, hugged his wife and comforted him, "Who dares, tell me your name, and I'll kill her."

Hu Sanniang blushed and slapped Sun Xin's big hand away, but she still insisted on getting out of bed to prepare breakfast.

Time entered August, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The matter of Sunjiazhuang taking Liangshan away gradually fermented near Dengzhou City. More and more people felt at ease and were willing to do business with Sunjiazhuang.

The biggest profit is Sunjiaji. Many merchants from Dengzhou go to Shili Pai as soon as they leave Dengzhou City.Even if it was a short detour, he still had to rest in Sunjiaji at night. This was undoubtedly the safest place outside the Dengzhou city wall, within a radius of a hundred miles.

After being busy with the work on the field, Sun Xin still focused his work on training the farmers. After the incident of Liangshan attack, the farmers also had confidence in their own weapons.

Not to mention the supervisory committee, everyone agreed with Sun Xin's idea of ​​first training the farmers and soldiers in Sunjiazhuang.

Controlled up and down together, the military training machine in Sunjiazhuang started very smoothly.

Tang Long's blacksmith workshop received a large sum of money to make muskets for the peasants and soldiers of the whole village, and at the same time fill in the emplacements above the four watchtowers, and immediately started the development of light bronze cannons.

At the same time, Quanzhuang took the first model battalion as the basis and broke up the four companies of the model battalion. The old peasants and soldiers were interspersed into the new battalion as the backbone. It started with great fanfare in the Sun Family Village.

Lu Zhishen and Luan Tingyu played together, and batches of peasants and soldiers were trained batch by batch according to the training regulations.

By the end of August, the adult males in the whole village had basically completed two weeks of training, and they were able to have the basic quality of soldiers. In this regard, Lu Zhishen and Luan Tingyu caught the general Sun Xin without asking too much.

It was enough for him to deal with the general direction of Zhuangzi, and he didn't have time to understand the specific details. After all the peasants and soldiers in Zhuangzi had trained together, Sun Xin called Luan Tingyu to watch him train. While telling him about the preparations for the permanent troops.

Luan Tingyu shook his head in shock when he saw the new training syllabus brought out by Sun Xin. He knew that Sun Xin's training syllabus was very powerful. Although it was just some of the most detailed training regulations, it had to be implemented meticulously. The words can really exhaust the trainers and even the soldiers who are training at the same time.

The training requirements of professional soldiers and peasant soldiers are definitely different. He estimated that there will be no leisure time in the past six months.

"Our Zhuangzi now has more than 700 strong men, so there is no need to train a team of more than a hundred men."

But Lu Zhishen immediately shook his head and said, "When something really happens, it will definitely be too late to recruit peasants and soldiers temporarily. We still need a strong team to be reliable."

Lehe on the side also nodded, and then reminded Sun Xin: "It is not difficult for us to train infantry in the training program of the supervisory committee, but didn't you say that we should also train cavalry? Do you want the supervisory committee to approve the money?"

Sun Xin nodded: "This matter has to be arranged."

Luan Tingyu on the side smiled and said: "Junior Brother Wu came to our village two days ago and I didn't see him when he was busy. I told him a few words, and he said that the owner of Wangjiazhuang doesn't dare to train any peasants and soldiers now. I'm going to run to Dengzhou City as soon as Zhuangzi is thrown away, but the master has already been idle, and at this time he is living as a teacher in Wangjiazhuang every day."

"That's it?" Sun Xin was moved when he heard it. This year's Sunjiazhuang is much more busy than expected. The business of Sunjiaji went upstream and consumed a lot of manpower. Someone needs to take care of it, plus the training of farmers and soldiers, the whole village is very busy, it is too wasteful to leave a great master like Zhou Tong idle there.

Since Zhou Tong has nothing to do now, it's time to help his apprentice.

Luan Tingyu smiled understandingly: "It's just that our master also knows that the most important thing is to be so cheeky..."

Sun Xin thought about it, and asked: "Then what did Junior Brother Wu say when he came to the village? How many times have he come? He came and went in such a hurry, why did he go back when he didn't see me?"

"I've been here three times, and I asked you every time, but I heard that you were busy, so I left without saying anything."

Sun News said with a smile: "Brother, you are so idiotic, why is Brother Wu running to our village all the time? It is obvious that Master is waiting for us to go!"

Luan Tingyu thought about it for a while, then came back to it, and said with a smile: "That's what you meant. I didn't think about it when you didn't say it. I will go to Wangjiazhuang tomorrow."

Sun Xin said: "Don't, let's go together and show some sincerity."

Early the next morning, both Sun Xin and Luan Tingyu sorted out their work ahead of time, took two farmers with them and took gifts, and rushed all the way to Wangjiazhuang.

I reported my name to Wangjiazhuang, and was led into the courtyard where Zhou Tong lived.

I saw Junior Brother Wu practicing his saber in front of the yard, sweating profusely.

"Junior Brother Wu, is Master in there?"

Luan Tingyu on the side also asked, "Where is Master?"

The younger brother put away the knife, wiped his sweat and said, "Early in the morning, the master said that he couldn't get up because he was lying on the bed, and he also ate food on the bed."

"Sick?"

"No, it's a headache and waist pain. I went to the city to get medicine for him, but it didn't help. I invited a doctor, but I couldn't find anything wrong. I just feel sick all day long."

Sun Xin was taken aback. It is said that Zhou Tong's body is much healthier than that of ordinary old people, even compared with the middle-aged people. Why did he stay so well and suddenly fell ill.

Luan Tingyu beside him smiled and said, "I've been with Master for so long and I don't know about Master's condition. Most likely I don't have any illnesses in my body, but I'm unhappy, so I ignore others."

Sun Xin also reacted, "That's the truth!"

"Go into the house and have a look. Junior Brother Wu, please let me know."

Brother Xiao Wu went to say a few words, and came out to express that the master asked them to go in. Sun Xin and Luan Tingyu hurried into the room together.

As soon as he entered the room, he put the gifts on the table, but the master on the bed didn't move. The two looked at each other. Sun Xin murmured and Luan Tingyu understood, and quickly started acting.

"How did our village get into this now?"

"You said that the farmers and soldiers have been training for a year now, and there are only a thousand young and strong people in this village, but all of them are listless until now, and the farmers who stand up and pull out of the ground are also There is nothing wrong with it, no matter how much money you spend in practicing like this, you will not be able to practice. When you encounter bandits, you will scare them away purely with anger. If one day, the firearms in our village are passed on, People are also attacking us with firearms, can we still defend?"

"It was fine before, but now that Liangshan has been repelled, and the reputation has spread again, the little bandits dare not come to provoke my Sun Family Village. When they came, they were all in the big stockade. If the bandits came again, I would There is really no other way."

Luan Tingyu praised at the right time: "Oh, there are still few people who can train soldiers."

Sun Xinyi clapped his hands: "You said you want to train cavalry when you train infantry like this, so what should you do?"

"Otherwise, I'd better go to your elder brother Sun Li and ask him to ask if there are any retired veterans in the army, and find one to come to our village to help with the details?"

Sun Xin nodded: "Yes, I will send a farmer to ask him later."

At this point, Zhou Tong, who had been lying on the bed without making a sound, sat up suddenly: "What kind of veteran are you looking for? You two boys can't even practice a soldier well. It's really embarrassing to me!"
