Chapter 606
Several strong horses also followed the endless stream of carriages and horses, walking not far from the eye-catching Muto Kiichi and Abiliuyu. The first knight was a six-foot-long man with a dignified appearance, a pair of sharp eyes. If Wu Haogu saw this person, he would immediately recognize him as Wu Erlang, not Wu Haowen, but Wu Song Wu Erlang.
Wu Song has been doing well or bad in recent years. He is now an official. Because of his contribution to capturing the leader of the Liangshan bandit Li Jinzhong alive a few years ago, he was a plunder from the third rank of the ninth rank, and he was the youngest among the rank of military officers. If he couldn't say it, his official fortune was probably only limited to the young envoy.
It was difficult for military officers of the Song Dynasty to be promoted by grinding and surveying. If they had no military merits, they would be promoted every five years, and even if they were qualified, they would be transferred to one official. From the third rank of envoys who started the board, they borrowed from the largest level of the Dongtou entourage official, there were a total of eight levels. It would take 40 years to be promoted step by step...
Wu Song is in his third year this year. He is almost 70 years old if he doesn't die in 40 years. Why is he still a military officer?
So Wu Song is now a scattered life without enough food and starving. He is a bit like the civil servants in the Qingshui yamen in later generations, one newspaper and one cup of tea, and spending 30 years. It's amazing that he is a section-level cadre retired... In fact, it's not a good thing. After all, Wu Song is not an official in a place like Kaifeng Prefecture that is expensive. He is a military officer from the East and West Road of Beijing. He is a patrol officer in Ximen Qing's hometown, Yunzhou, and a small official like the village leader. Although his salary is not high, he is a bit rich. Moreover, the Ximen family, a local tyrant in Yunzhou, also has a good relationship with him. If you take care of each other, your life is still quite glorious.
By the way, Wu Song is still the son-in-law of the Ximen family. He originally liked Ximen Qing a little, but Ximen Qing fell in love with Wu Haogu. However, the Ximen family still gave him a wife named Ximen Yulan. The two got married in the third year of Yuanfu, and now Yulan has given Wu Song a son, but her name has not been given yet, and her nickname is Ahu.
In fact, Wu Haogu never forgot about him. After becoming famous, he once wrote a letter to ask him to go to Jiehe Shibosi to be an official. However, when Wu Song thought that the female hero of Yanggu, Ximen Qing actually became Wu Haogu's concubine, he hated this Wu Dalang. Ximen Qing is a famous female hero in Jingdong Jianghu! He actually became Wu Dalang's concubine... Isn't it just to take advantage of a few stinky money? Wu Erye is not interested!
Wu Song, who was flirting with money, thought he was just doing it alone, but last year, the military commander of Yunzhou came to him and asked him to lead a few heroes to go to Kaifeng Prefecture to participate in the imperial martial arts performance at the end of the second year of Jianzhong Jingguo. He said that if he performed well, he could be an official in the Palace Front Office and be assigned to the Kaifeng Prefecture house...
This is an opportunity! Wu Song didn't care much about the house (he was not a Kaifeng Prefecture), but the official of the Palace Front Office... looked good!
Moreover, the commanders did not let Wu Song work hard for nothing, so they allocated a "training fee" and asked him to go to the wing soldiers in Yunzhou to select strong men to practice together.
Not to mention that although most of the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty were in decline, they were still a little brave. Otherwise, Yue Wumu would not have been able to pull out the Yue family army so easily later!
The martial spirit of a nation cannot be exhausted in just over a hundred years.
So with the efforts of Wu Song and Wu Erlang, Yunzhou sent seven heroes this time, all of them were big and thick, and they went to Kaifeng Prefecture to work as house slaves for Song Huizong...
"Master, look at a hero holding a big bow over there!"
One of Wu Song's subordinates, named Zhang Tietou, found Muto kissing him slowly in front of him.
"What a strange outfit..." Wu Song looked in the direction pointed by his subordinates. The first thing he saw was the strange Muto, and then he looked at Hua Manshan riding a horse and following Wuto.
"Isn't this Brother Zixu?" Wu Song shouted. Hua Manshan heard someone calling his font size, and quickly turned around and saw the tall and mighty Wu Song at a glance.
"So it's Brother Wu! You are also going to Beijing to participate in martial arts performances?"
"Yes," Wu Song drove his horse forward, arrived beside Hua Manshan, and smiled and bowed to Wu Teng, "Wu Song is here to be the official of Linshui Village, Yunzhou, and is not satisfied with the name of Gao's surname?"
"This is the Japanese envoy, Dazai Shaoguan Muto Kiss," Hua Manshan said with a smile, "This is Abiruyu, the girl Muto Kiss…"
"Why do girls use two surnames with brother?" Wu Song scratched his head, not very clear.
"Mutou is a surname," Muto said in Mingzhou dialect, "Abiliu is Miao... In general, you can just use Miao, and the surname is used in formal occasions. Because the official is an envoy of the Dazaifu, Muto is used."
"So that's it, I've been taught." Wu Song didn't understand Muto's Mingzhou dialect at all, but it didn't matter. He was not an official in other families' affairs anyway. He bowed his hand and wanted to part with Hua Manshan.
At this moment, a noise suddenly came from the front of the official road. I don’t know who shouted: “What a handsome horse army!”
Ma Jun?
Very handsome?
How is that possible?
Wu Song himself is a "cavalry" who can fight on horseback, but he also knows that he can only win the heroes in the JD area in those moments. It is still not enough to see if he really goes to the Northwest battlefield.
"What a handsome horse army!"
"Is this the soldiers of the generals of the family?"
"Is it the cavalry of the Western Army?"
People stopped and started to talk. When Wu Song heard some words, he stretched his neck and looked forward, and then was stunned by the scene he saw.
At a crossroad ahead, there were cavalry advancing in two columns on the official road extending to the north. The cavalry team was very strict, and you could tell at a glance that they had undergone rigorous training. The one walking in the front seemed to be the "lancers". Everyone carried long horses with their stings, pointing upwards, pointing to the sky, reflecting a terrifying light in the sun.
"What a handsome horse army!" Wu Song murmured, "I didn't expect that there was such an elite horse army in the Song Dynasty..."
Like Wu Song, Muto Kiichi was also shocked.
The legendary lean camel is indeed bigger than a horse, at least much larger than the largest Takashu horse in Japan.
If you look at the horses under the crotch of these cavalrymen and the spears on their backs, you will know that there is no samurai in Japan that can be compared with them. If they went to Japan with the iron-clad samurai who saw them at the Hondae Academy... then the Japanese Kingdom of God might be destroyed!
The Song Dynasty is so terrible!
...
Gao Qiu was so proud. He was complaining that Wu Haogu was not allowed to take care of the Qionglin Palace Repair Center, but after taking over 1,000 knights in Jiehe Market, he realized that Wu Haogu was such a good brother!
With these 1,000 knights, the next step is to make achievements! Yan Yun and Liao Kingdom are not afraid to fight for the Northern Expedition, but the Western Pirates should be able to bully them. The Western Pirates are the Laoshi Iron Harrier, right?
If you take a step back, you won’t fight against the Western thieves. You can fight against the Tubo tribe? Are these 1,000 knights going to Hehuang, so why don’t you go sideways?
Moreover, the official also plans to perform martial arts in Moutuogang to select warriors. If he can get thousands of infantry like Wei Wushu, then the opportunity to make achievements will come!
Only by making achievements and creating a family can one live up to his life!
Thinking of this, Gao Qiu raised his whip and pointed at the Kaifeng Prefecture City in front of him, which was golden under the sun, and shouted: "Everyone, work harder, let's go to Kaifeng Prefecture today, and maybe we can go to the palace to face you tomorrow!"
"Long live!"
The knights shouted in unison.
Although they were raised by Wu Haogu and Murong Wangyou trained for a long time, their master was still Zhao Ji!
...
"Eat the food of your foster father! Wear the clothes of your foster father! Live in the room of your foster father! Death for your foster father..."
On the north bank of the Jiehe River, there is a schoolyard hidden in the woods. Wu Haogu is a father to others. He is not the father of five children, but the father of one thousand and five children. Five of them are biological children, and one thousand are bought by Shubu or other teenagers from other races.
As they shouted now, these thousand young slave soldiers (Wu Haogu bought more than a thousand, but people were constantly eliminated) have eaten Wu Haogu’s rice, wore Wu Haogu’s clothes, lived in Wu Haogu’s houses... In the future, they will be killed for Wu Haogu!
They are Wu Haogu's fakes, and they are also necessary to raise the dead soldiers of Wu Haogu!
It’s not just a few beautiful words that will win over you, but people will give you their lives. Dead men have to spend time, money, and energy to raise them.
Of course, you still have to have your own territory!
The dead soldiers cannot hide in Kaifeng Prefecture. Even if Zhao Ji covers them up, other ministers will not do it. Then everyone impeaches them together, and Wu Haogu will be finished.
However, Wu Haogu raised these dead soldiers not to make Zhao Ji rebellious, but to prevent Zhao Ji from going to the Baishan and Hei River to support him... At least that's what he thinks now.
With the Imperial Knight, the House Slave Warrior, these Dead Soldiers, the Doctors from the Yuntai Academy, and the Northland Warriors who are bribed to a lot of money in the future, how can they all form an elite force that can fight, right?
Standing on a temporary wooden platform, Wu Haogu, who was neatly dressed up, pressed the hilt of the sword, nodded gently, and then opened his voice: "Children! Let my father see your abilities today!
All three of archery, equestrian, sword and shield, and gun surgery are rewarded!”
It turned out that Wu Haogu was testing his own training and learning achievements in the past year. Wu Haogu trained his own playboys according to the standards of Mamluk. Although Napoleon, a French official in later generations, said something like "two Mamluks can beat 3 French cavalry, 100 French cavalry can beat 100 Mamluks, and 300 French cavalry can defeat 300 Mamluks", Wu Haogu didn't know how to train 300 French cavalry, and how to hand over the French officers of the Napoleon era...
