Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 556 Pretend to be real
"Huayin County wants to borrow troops from us?" Shi Jin and Wang Jin looked at each other, wondering if the county lieutenant of Huayin County had taken the wrong medicine? Wasn't he afraid of letting the wolf in and letting them take over Huayin County?

Although the people of Shaohua Mountain never went down the mountain to plunder, they opened up the mountains and built fields to accept refugees, built strong passes and trained elite soldiers. They did not pay taxes and did not obey the law. These were not things that good citizens would do.

"Since you want to borrow soldiers, then lend them to him." Yan Xu said with a smile, because he knew very well that in just one or two years, the curtain of Water Margin Liangshan would be officially opened. By that time, the county lieutenant of Huayin County would not be so naive.

Before the heroes of Liangshan gathered together, even if there was a large camp with thousands of people, they could only plunder the rich families outside the county town at most, and only a few dared to attack the county town.

The main thing is that the meaning is different. Snatching a bag on the street and robbing money in a bank are both robbery. How can the impact be the same?

In addition, Shao Huashan has always behaved too honestly, and with Shi Taigong's help from time to time, people inevitably look down on him.

This aroused the greed in the county lieutenant's heart. After all, if he appeared too kind, people would always want to bully him. There was no risk and no cost.

"Tomorrow Wang Jin will be the main general, Li Zhong will be the deputy general, and they will lead three hundred elite soldiers and one hundred auxiliary soldiers down the mountain." Having made up his mind, Yan Xu took the military token and gave it the token.

"Yes." Wang Jin received the military order and went to reorganize the troops with Li Zhong, who seemed a little overwhelmed.

After leaving the meeting hall, Wang Jin turned and said to Li Zhong.

"I see that you have neither armor nor weapons. Come with me to pick some so that you won't be looked down upon when you go down the mountain tomorrow."

"I'm new here, so I'll follow Brother Wang's arrangements." Li Zhong hadn't fully recovered from his shock yet, because he had never imagined that the godlike master would have such a large stronghold, and it didn't seem like he was planning to take the right path.

But after seeing the master's abilities, it was impossible to let Li Zhong leave. Moreover, in the original book, he went up the mountain to become a bandit without much hesitation. Therefore, after a brief confusion, he quickly cheered up and followed Wang Jin to the armory.

This armory was specially prepared by Yan Xu for the generals. Some of the weapons were from the modern world, some from the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer, and some were made by dwarves. They could be considered magical weapons in ancient times.

Li Zhong had seen all these before and was immediately dazzled.

"I see that you have a strong physique and a solid lower body, so you must be good at infantry combat. How about this set of infantry armor?" Wang Jin said to Li Zhong, pointing to the iron armor that covered a dummy from head to toe.

"Okay!" No man can refuse the dream of fighting on the battlefield, and Li Zhong is no exception. Just by seeing this iron armor, he imagined himself in the mighty image of killing everyone on the battlefield, so he said excitedly.

After choosing his armor, Li Zhong picked up a Mo Dao. Although he was better at using spears and sticks, it was obviously more advantageous to use a Mo Dao in foot combat, mainly because it was more majestic and more expensive.

Wang Jin took the refreshed Li Zhong to the parade ground, and then ordered his men to beat drums to gather the troops.

Yan Xu replenished the mountain stronghold's troops with 100 spearmen, 300 sword and shield soldiers, 200 archers, and 200 logistics soldiers, a total of people. In addition, young and strong men were selected from the refugees who went up the mountain and trained, so the strength of the troops exceeded , so taking away people did not have much impact.

He selected one hundred spearmen, one hundred sword and shield soldiers, one hundred archers, and one hundred logistics soldiers, a total of four hundred soldiers. Wang Jin also received flags, armor, gongs, drums, etc. from the warehouse. They were all brought by Yan Xu from the World of Smiling Proud Wanderer. They were made by the Ministry of Works of the Ming Dynasty in the style of the previous dynasty. It cannot be said that they are exactly the same, but even if the people from the Song Dynasty Arsenal saw them, they would suspect that the people below were doing private work.

Many things in ancient times were passed down. Even when dynasties changed, the essence remained the same, with a new name in the name only, because the cost of updating everything was too high.

In addition, the interval between the two dynasties is not far, almost the same as from the Qing Dynasty to the modern times, so a lot of things have been preserved.

At the beginning, the Forbidden City alone preserved 20,000 sets of cotton armor, and even distributed a lot of them as employee benefits. It is conceivable how many things were left over from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the technology was not lost, and many things were passed down from generation to generation. It was easy to imitate them, and it is guaranteed that even the Song Dynasty itself would not be able to find any flaws.

In addition, there are military tokens, documents, tokens, and seals. Regardless of the writing style or format, they are all commonly used by the Song Dynasty court, because a large number of documents and historical records of the Song Dynasty are still preserved in the Ming Dynasty Palace, so there are precedents to be found.

Wang Jin's scalp tingled when he saw these things, because he could not see any flaws at all. Not to mention outsiders, even he now doubted whether he was working for the court.

In any case, early the next morning, Wang Jin arrived at Huayin County with hundreds of elite soldiers, holding a steel spear with a wrought iron tip, wearing linked iron armor, riding a yellow horse, and leading hundreds of elite soldiers. The county magistrate and local people were all alarmed, because they really couldn't figure out where this army came from, because the county government had not received any relevant documents, but no one suspected that the other party might be bandits.

Stop joking, if all the bandits are of this level, they'd better surrender as soon as possible.

The county lieutenant received the order and brought a group of detectives to the outside of the city. He was the first to bow to Wang Jin.

"I am the county lieutenant of Huayin County. I wonder which prefecture the general is from? Do you have any written documents?" Although the Song Dynasty was strong in civil affairs but weak in military affairs, one has to consider the person. A county lieutenant is only a local official of the ninth rank and has little power. How could he dare to offend a powerful military general?

"Wang Jin and Li Zhong from Shaohua Mountain have led three hundred elite soldiers to respond to the invitation. Here are the relevant documents." Wang Jin had the documents delivered to the county lieutenant, whose expression had become quite interesting.

Shocked, frightened, curious, uneasy, bewildered, all these emotions made the county lieutenant not know how to react. He instinctively took the document and opened it. The specifications, the writing style, the imprint...
Putting down the document, he looked up at the majestic Wang Jin and the hundreds of elite soldiers with neat armor and bright flags. The county lieutenant felt like he was in a dream. He read it over and over again, and it was still a document in the name of Shaohua Mountain, not the government office.

The closer one is to the system, the more one understands the weight of this document, because it looks so real that it really makes one's scalp tingle. Add to that the hundreds of elite soldiers, and the county lieutenant was completely paralyzed. So he quickly passed the buck and asked Wang Jin to wait for a moment while he went back to report to the county magistrate.

When the county magistrate learned about this, he no longer cared about the county lieutenant's attempt to shirk responsibility, and quickly asked someone to bring the model essay.

No matter it was the imperial court or the government office, all documents issued had model documents to check, and even seals and secret marks to prevent forgery.

If you just find a gentleman and use a radish to carve a seal on you, I guarantee that people will see through it at a glance.

That dynasty was very strict in this regard. Even a well-read scholar would not know about this unless he entered the officialdom.

After comparing it several times, the county magistrate was confused, as the government office was changed to Shaohua Mountain and the official seal was changed to Shaohua Mountain seal.

If it's true, it's just child's play, but if it's fake, it's a bit too scary.

In fact, both the county magistrate and the county lieutenant knew very well that this could not be true, but it would be even more terrible if it was false.

In addition to the format, the entire set of documents also has all kinds of stamps. Just like going through the formalities, it requires stamps from multiple departments. If you are not familiar with it, you don’t even know what stamps to stamp.

This is enough to prove that the other party is very familiar with all kinds of affairs in the government office, which means that the identity of the forger is definitely not ordinary, otherwise he would not have access to these things at all.

In this case, if they report the matter, it is hard to say whether it will be suppressed. If it falls into the hands of the person behind the scenes, I am afraid it will be a pill.

Hundreds of well-equipped elite soldiers were just outside the city. This was like having a knife at their necks, so they didn't dare to think about it any further.

After looking at each other, they both knew what was going on and understood how the play should proceed, which was to make the fake play real. Even if it was fake, they had to act it out as if it were real.

The reason is very simple. Judging from the other party's performance, it is obvious that they have no intention of breaking up.

As long as the other party does not lose face, everyone will naturally live in peace. But if they don't know what's good for them and tear off this layer of cloth, what can Huayin County use to stop hundreds of elite soldiers? Will it use its head?
If they lost the city, even if they escaped, they would still lose their heads. But if the fake became real, at most they would be charged with negligence. Although they would lose their official hats, at least they could save their lives. So it was not difficult to make a decision.

What's more, the two of them were hoping for a lucky break. If they could just keep the matter going until the end of their term, they would have escaped perfectly.

However, in order to perform this scene well, the cooperation of two people is necessary, otherwise it will not work.

So the two of them then invited the county magistrate and the chief clerk to come, talk about the matter, and make a choice.

What the hell is there to choose? What else can the two people who were dragged onto the pirate ship choose? They can only help to make the fake thing real.

The first, second, and third in command of the county, plus the chief clerk who is in charge of all specific affairs, when the four of them work together, there is almost nothing that cannot be accomplished in the county.

He copied the documents and filed them according to the procedures, then wrote a reply, planned the station, opened the warehouse and mobilized food and fodder. Everything he did was impeccable.

The county magistrate then sent invitations to wealthy families in the city, asking them to donate money and grain according to custom.

In ancient times, the only difference between an official and a bandit was their skin. Even if they were soldiers, if they were not well fed, looting was almost a common practice.

Therefore, local officials would ask wealthy families in the city to donate money and food, so that everyone from officers to soldiers would be fed and prevent them from causing trouble.
