Chapter 601 The elite of the forbidden army
With a thunderous horse hooves trampling across the stream, Tong Guan rode a horse given by Wu Haogu and had already stepped on the north shore first. Then more than ten knights and more armored soldiers with strong stalkers rushed over.
On both sides of the road, mountains stand tall and huge trees are lush. A team is marching in a row, walking on the road from Haizhou, Goryeo to Kaijing.
The mission led by Liu Kui and Tong Guan has now set foot on the land of Goryeo!
Although there are 1,3400 miles between Haizhou in the Song Dynasty and Haizhou in Goryeo, the key to sailing on the sea is to go up and down the wind without wind. If there is 1,000 miles or no wind, it will be far away if there is 1,000 miles. If there is 1,3400 miles, you can travel dozens of miles in one hour, which is faster than cavalry! One,3400 miles is a little more than a day.
Liu Kui and Tong Guan were very lucky. They encountered a westerly wind when they left Haizhou Bay and arrived in Haizhou, Goryeo in two days. Because they did not suffer much of the sea drift, the delegation only rested in Haizhou, Goryeo for a few days, and then headed north in Haizhou, Goryeo.
The reason why it is so majestic is that Wu Haogu sent 100 Bu Zhanzhan slaves led by ten doctors. In fact, these Bu Zhanzhan slaves are not very strict. These grassland people are not very disciplined. Even if Murong Wangyou was severely rectified, they still seemed loose. However, they were physically strong and could endure hardships. They were wearing iron armor, iron helmets, carrying vine shields and luggage, with long swords and bows hanging on their belts, and held a spear more than ten feet long in their hands. They were carrying more than one hundred kilograms of weight, and they could still rush on their way with their heads covering their heads. They walked quite fast!
Fan Zhiwen and his nine classmates are now leading by example, wearing leather armor, carrying shields and luggage, carrying long swords, and rushing to the road but not leaving.
The scene of more than 100 men rushing to the road with full arms is very shocking at any time.
The two men, who followed these guards on horseback and came to greet the Song envoy, were also frightened by the "Great Song Imperial Guard" in front of them.
"Mrs. Wuzhou, I heard that the Song State is weak in force and cannot withstand the Khitan attack. Are these soldiers in front of you the legendary weak imperial guards of the Song State?"
The person who spoke to Wu Yanchong secretly was the Minister of Goryeo named Taku Junjing. He was the confidant of Goryeo King Wang Yong, an old man who had followed Wang Yong from Qiandi, and one of Wang Yong's most trusted generals.
Because he learned that the Song Dynasty mission brought a "Iron Uniform Guard", Wang Yong sent Tuo Junjing to see after all, the Goryeo Kingdom had not fought a war for decades, and the generation who had been on the battlefield basically died. No one who is alive now knows what the real elite looks like? He also doesn't know what the standards of the weak chicken army that is not able to withstand the Khitan attack?
But I don’t know if I don’t look at it, I’m shocked when I see it!
He was carrying a weight of at least 100 kilograms, and he walked dozens of miles with his head covering his head, and the marching speed did not slow down at all... This is a vulnerable army? What does the Khitans look like? Do they have three heads and six arms?
"This..." Wu Yanchong shook his head, "This official is not very clear about it."
"Don't know?" Taku Junjing frowned, "Hasn't you been to Song State many times? Why are you not sure?"
Yes! Wu Yanchong has not only been to the State of Song. He was born in Haizhou, the Great Song Dynasty. He has lived in Haizhou for more than 20 years. However, he has never seen the "elite imperial guards" stationed in Haizhou. They are all soft and cowardly. How could there be such a hardship? The hundreds of thousands of imperial guards in the Great Song Dynasty are like this. Khitan and Dangxiang have perished long ago, right?
"Maybe they can only march..." Wu Yanchong said, "Why would you try them?"
"Try it?"
"Don't you be good at shooting?"
Takujunkyo smiled and said, "How can I be bad? I am the king's guardian."
"Then you will arrive at the inn later, don't invite Song Jun's good men to compete in archery."
"Okay!" Takujoon-kyung nodded.
...
"Article shooting is good?"
Fan Zhiwen just arrived at a Korean National Inn that looked shabby. Before he could eat a bite of kimchi, Tong Guan looked him out and said that the Korean people wanted to compete with the samurai in the Song Dynasty.
"Congbin," Tong Guan carefully picked up the remaining beard and said with a smile, "Go and call all the good archery shots, and compare them with the Koreans, don't lose the majesty of the Song Dynasty."
"All of them are called?" Fan Zhiwen asked afterwards.
"Yes!" Tong Guan nodded.
"Here."
Fan Zhiwen couldn't help but complain that the people of Goryeo were troublesome, but he still arranged for many people to shoot archery. Except for ten doctors who are not good, everyone else is good. How can he be a divine person if he can't even shoot arrows?
After a while, about a hundred sluts in iron armor were lined up outside the inn, each with a buffalo horn bow and a three-way arrow in the other hand.
"All of them are good players?"
Seeing this situation, Wu Yanchong was also a little confused. He was speaking Chinese. Could that eunuch Tong Guan not be confused about it, right?
"That's natural!"
The one who answered this question was Liu Kui, but he was actually unsure and was just bragging.
He didn't know where Tong Guan went to find so many stupid imperial guards... He walked dozens of miles in most of the day, and was wearing iron armor and carrying luggage. No one wanted to give him any money! He must be stupid!
Moreover, the equipment of these fools is strange. Why are they both spears, swords, shields, and bows and arrows? Which one can they do? They can be proficient in everything, right? They can be the coach.
"Master, the target has been set up. Can you ejaculate?"
At this time, Fan Zhiwen walked quickly to ask for instructions.
The so-called target, the envoys are some pots taken out of the inn, placed on a row of white-blank firewood tables. Outside each white-blank wooden table, there are a divine thugs dressed in iron armor.
"Cum!" Tong Guan nodded.
"Let me go!" Fan Zhiwen then roared, and then heard a sound of "Cang Bang Bang Bang" bowstring, followed by a scattering sound.
All the jars and jars were shot into pieces! No arrow was shot in the air...
Wu Yanchong, Tuo Junjing, and the Song Dynasty's commander Liu Kui were all stunned!
The Privy Council of the Goryeo Kingdom was not ashamed to compete with Taku Junkyo... At such a long distance, there was no way to shoot a single arrow!
Is this the legendary weak soldier who cannot bear the Khitan attack?
How powerful should the Khitan soldiers be? The king still dreamed of seizing the Khitans' Tokyo Road after defeating the Jurchens... Isn't this going to die? I must persuade the king when I go back.
The Song envoy Liu Kui was even more surprised than Tuo Junjing. Where did these big-headed soldiers come from? Such a small jar can even be shot with one arrow at such a long distance! Where did Tong Guan find such elite soldiers? Is it the Western Army? You must ask carefully when you look back and ask clearly. Generals who can train such elite soldiers must be recommended to the government, and they must be highly valued!
In addition, I didn’t seem to see the dozen or so young Wuchen who was in charge of the army bringing money or silk... Can you really not give it to me?
He was fully armed and rushed so far and performed archery. It was so hard... How could he not give a reward? The rules of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, he would not draw a bow without paying money before going to battle! They would not mutiny, right?
...
"Reward? No, don't give it?"
Fan Zhiwen was really unlucky today. He had just arranged for everyone to eat kimchi, cold noodles and the dried beef they brought with him. Before he could eat a bite of kimchi, he was called to Liu Kui and Tong Guan to ask questions.
What I asked about giving rewards... Of course, these Bu Zhanshu are beneficial, and they cannot be so obedient even if they don't have any benefits.
Wu Haogu distributed houses and female slaves as wives in Jiehe Market. Now the 103 people who have been dispatched have become fathers. They work hard outside, and their wives and children are cared for by the Maritime Bureau and paid monthly payments. If they die, their wives and children can also get high pensions. If they betray, their wives and children will become slaves and be sold.
As for the rewards at the end of the battle, the Jiehe Commercial City escort has no such rules, which is so heavy. A piece of money is only a few kilograms. It is transported to the battlefield? What if the logistics pressure is too light? And if it is defeated and killed, will the money be given to people?
However, the market is not without methods to encourage thugs to work hard. For example, these slaves who block the Bu also have levels, including lower soldiers, middle soldiers, upper soldiers, corporals, sergeants, and sergeants, totaling six levels. Every time they are promoted, they will get a salary and change houses. Every time they are reduced, they will also reduce their benefits.
By the way, doctoral students in the PhD regiment also have levels, and the highest one is the head of the PhD regiment. Next, they are the deputy general leader, the chief leader, deputy chief leader, leader, deputy chief leader, president, deputy chief leader, president, deputy president, preaching leader, deputy chief leader, doctoral candidate, doctoral student, etc., in total, thirteen levels.
Among them, doctoral students and candidate doctoral candidates are not paid, and those who are up to the eleventh level are all rich and have houses. However, for those doctoral students in the Yuntai Academy, the position of the doctoral group is not what they want...
"Don't you need to give a reward?" Liu Kui was so surprised that he almost didn't believe his ears. "What is your military numeral? Is it from the Western Army?"
"We don't have a military call," Fan Zhiwen said, "We, we are the preaching group, the Bodo preaching group, and Wu Xuanzan lent us to Daguan Tong."
"The preaching group?" Liu Kui widened his eyes, "This, this, this... this is a private soldier?"
It seems to be private soldiers! Although there are only more than one hundred people, they are private soldiers not controlled by the Ministry of War and the Privy Council after all! It would be fine if the Baojia Ding Zhuang was unable to fight, and there were not too few powerful men with hundreds of Baoding in the Song Dynasty. But such elite soldiers are not Baoding, but an army that is even more elite than the Song Dynasty imperial guards!
This martial arts are so ancient, and they have ulterior motives! Liu Kui was shocked at first, and then ecstatic.
