After the centurions left, Zhao Xingde stayed alone in charge of Jin Changtai and whispered: "The enemy is strong and I am weak. I want to go down the mountain to attract the people, the movements of the Khitan and Jurchens. Sima of Jin must keep in touch with the detailed work of the Military Information Department at any time."

Jin Changtai nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I will ask the Military Information Department to strengthen the investigation in this area." In the military system of Xia State, the commanding officers were in charge of combat, and the marching Sima was responsible for contacting the logistics department, the Military Information Department and other military departments, which was also a way of coordinating the big and small. While Jin Changtai said, circled the shorthand with pencils and circled the shorthand book. In this moment, he had already analyzed the discussions of the soldiers who had just been recorded at will. As long as he repaired it a little, it could become a combat plan to guide the soldiers down the mountain to threaten the people. He looked at it two or three times, frowned and sighed.

Zhao Xingde was thinking about how to get along with the Han army after he was entangled in the future. Seeing this, he asked, "Why are you worried about?"

Jin Changtai sighed: "The Liao Kingdom's surrendered military prefectures and prefectures, counties and villages are all well-preserved. If they do not fight with the Liao army, they will not be able to coerce the people. However, there are a large number of men in these places. Although they cannot be brought out for the time being, they will be a pity to abandon the enemy." The tone set by the entire plan is to force the people to expand their strength, but try to avoid fighting with the Khitan and Jurchens. These people near the center of the enemy's forces will inevitably be unable to rescue them.

Zhao Xingde's eyes moved slightly and he pondered: "Heaven will help him. Although these men are in the enemy camp, they may not be able to use it for me. Is there any way to organize these Han people, inform us, and cause some trouble for the Khitans and Jurchens?" He said, while knocking on the table rhythmically, the rough pine wood made a thumping sound, and in this quiet wooden house, it seemed to hit people's hearts.

Jin Changtai hesitated for a moment and asked, "When Xingzhi was discussing affairs in the Guguo Mansion, could anyone persuade you to join the club?" He had a close personal relationship with Zhao Xingde. When the military discussion was held, everyone was there, and he was still called by his official title, but in private he was still the former name.

Zhao Xingde was stunned and said to himself: "I have joined the Society of Management, but I have never heard of Xia Guo's club?" Then he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No one has ever led me to join the Society." Looking at Jin Changtai, he didn't know whether he was the intention.

Jin Changtai sighed, "I heard that when this dynasty was founded, there was a system of brotherhood in the army, and each brother would develop a next-level brother to advocate the friendship of robes and make the army like a finger. After the founding of the country, the brotherhood was divided. Soldiers could form their own clubs as long as they registered with the Military Information Department, but their momentum was far less than that of the brotherhood in the past. There were many such clubs in various military governments. I was thinking that if Xingzhi joined a powerful club in the Guguo Mansion, he could naturally develop power in the Haner era. If it was used to engulf the people, it would be twice the result with half the effort." He slapped the table and regretted: "If I had known this, I would have registered a club with the purpose of regaining Liaodong before I sent troops."

"What happened?" Zhao Xingde was even more curious and asked about the details. The system of the brotherhood had been obscured for a long time, and Jin Changtai was only interested in it. Therefore, he checked many related documents in the General's Mansion, but he only knew the general situation. Looking back at the beginning, the emperor, Duke and Marquis were all brothers, and the army was united in the army and founded the country, and was invincible throughout the world, which was fascinating.

Zhao Xingde pondered for a moment and asked, "Can we set up a club now and penetrate Han'er?"

"Soldiers must register in advance, otherwise it will be regarded as a secret association, suspected of rebellion, and will be tried by military law." Jin Changtai said helplessly. However, after a lot of effort, time may have been delayed. He suddenly slapped his head with a regretful expression on his face.

"So that's it." Zhao Xingde nodded slowly. This is also a matter of course. If a secret association is allowed, it would be too unfair. It should be noted that Zhao Kuangyin of Kanto usurped the country by the power of the ten brothers of Yishe. The Xia State led this undercurrent to make it clear to the world. The soldiers can connect the associations with each other outside the military camp system, share the same voices, and become one and unshakable, so they can concentrate on the power of governing the country.

"Maybe we are asking other soldiers, but there is no suitable company?"

"This," Jin Changtai said without much hope. "Except for the general association with the support of the lieutenant of the Huguo Mansion, the purpose of other sergeant associations is very strange and difficult to fit the affairs of Liaodong." He closed the shorthand book, stood up, and was about to go out.

"I'll ask with you." Zhao Xingde also stood up and put on a wolf-skinned cloak. Unexpectedly, there was such a social system among the soldiers in Xia Kingdom. Zhao Xingde felt it was necessary to know what the soldiers belonged to. "Do I give people the impression that they are alone? Otherwise, why didn't the soldiers invite me to join the social system?" he thought to himself.

The two arrived at the stable. Wang Tongdeng was brushing his horse. It was cold and the war horse could not take a bath. He could only use a thick brush to brush the fur. One was to keep the fur clean, and the other was to relax the muscles and promote blood circulation. Brushing horses could best cultivate the emotions of soldiers and war horses. There was a legend in the army that even the emperor washed his mounts himself. Wang Tongdeng's armor and cotton jacket were piled on the side, wearing only a white silk jacket, and there was a hint of heat on his forehead and upper body. The stronger the war horse, the more vigorous it was to brush.

"Society?" Wang Tongdeng's eyes lit up and he smiled, "The barbarians also want to join the club?" Whenever Zhao Xingde studied alone, Wang Tongdeng would make fun of him as unsociable, saying that only the "barbarians" lived alone. At this moment, Zhao Xingde actually came to ask about the club on his own initiative. Wang Tongdeng was as enthusiastic as a merchant who attracted customers, and smiled, "I am from the 'Hedong Society'. Hedong was the place where the founding country was the dragon, but it was trapped in the hands of the Song people. Our 'Hedong Society' advocated that Hedong Society was to recover Hedong, and then send troops from Guanzhong and Hedong, facing the northwest, and the Central Plains could go down in one go. Then send troops from Shu Kingdom, from the Yangtze River downstream, the southeast prefectures and counties were weak places in the Song Kingdom, and could be issued a decree." Wang Tongdeng knew that Zhao Xingde was from Guandong and looked at him with a smile.

"'Hedong Society' is famous and long-lasting." Jin Changtai bowed with a smile. Hedong Society is also a major club in Xia Kingdom. Zhao Xingde said a little embarrassedly: "It would be a bit reluctant to let Liaodong Han join this 'Hedong Society'." He asked Jin Changtai to leave together, and Wang Tongdeng continued to brush his war horses, humming a sour Hedong tune. The soldiers of Hedong Society have to deduce how to cross the Yellow River to go straight to Taiyuan every year. The society also studied the people's sentiments and world styles of Hedong in great detail.

When Ma Rui was asked about this, he said with some regret: "Ma has not joined the club yet." Jian Chengze said: "I am from the 'Canhui Association'. The purpose of this association is that rivers and canals are the foundation of the country. When rivers and canals prosper, the country will prosper; when rivers and canals are declining, the country will perish. Therefore, we must strictly supervise the water conservancy of each prefecture and county, and we must carefully repair and replenish them every year."

The situation in Liaodong seems to be a little far from the development of water conservancy. However, Zhao Xingde and Jin Changtai praised the importance of water conservancy together and left. He asked a hundred sergeants along the way, about 30 to 40% of them were members of a certain club, and some of them also participated in several clubs. The club's purpose is diverse, some are dedicated to protecting the interests of the families of the fallen soldiers, some are asking the court to expand the right of the sergeants to punish the Yinhu, and some are specifically supervising whether the prefectures and county officials stationed in the office are fair in handling affairs. There is actually a "harm-elimination society" purpose is to ask the court to organize the Yinhu to kill snakes, insects, rats and ants. After asking around, Zhao Xingde felt that his head was too big and couldn't help but laugh at himself: "If the targets of the 'harm-elimination society' killing include the Khitan and the Jurchens, it would be very suitable."

While they were talking, they came to Du Chujiao. He was holding a heavy shield in one hand and a wooden sword in the other, and was fighting with the sergeant. Although Du Chujiao was not young, his agility was not inferior to that of a young man. He had been through the battlefield for a long time and took decisive and quick action. He looked completely different from the usual good guys on this battlefield. Seeing Zhao Xingde and Jin Changtai coming, Du Chujiao asked a sergeant to come on the field and came over by himself.

"To be honest with the general, the last general is from the 'Brothers of Volunteer and Braves'." Du Chujiao said embarrassedly, "I will receive an additional 100 cents a year."

"What?" Zhao Xingde said in a lost voice. Jin Changtai said that the Brotherhood had disappeared after the founding of the Kingdom. Unexpectedly, Du Chujiao, who was not astonishingly beautiful, was actually a member of this club.

Seeing that Zhao Xingde and Jin Changtai were both surprised, Du Chujiao hurriedly explained: "My 'Brotherhood of Volunteering' is different from the 'Brotherhood' in the founding dynasty. It is a company that is specially registered to receive 100 liters of 'entering money' for each military official. I am the only one of the Brotherhood of Volunteering. If two of you plan to join, I am very welcome." He didn't look embarrassed when he specially registered a company to get the money.

Looking at Zhao Xingde's confused look, Jin Changtai explained: "General Zhao doesn't know that in order to encourage the soldiers to register and report to the Military Information Department, the general's office can have 100 documents of 'joining money' every year, and send it to the club head as the funding of the club. With this money, many clubs do not have to collect money from the soldiers. Since this "Brothers of Loyalty" is registered by Du Sheshou alone, of course, the 'joining money' will be sent to him personally. There are many such situations, and the names of the clubs in the files of the General's office have tens of thousands of yuan."

Jin Changtai looked at Du Chujiao with amusement and praised: "It's a great luck that such a majestic name as the 'Brothers of Volunteer and Braves' was actually robbed by Du Junjun." Du Chujiao smiled and said: "On the day when the last general went to the military office to register, he casually wrote this. Unexpectedly, no one had registered before, so he called it this name."

He was still humble, but Zhao Xingde said in a deep voice: "Good name!" He smiled slightly and asked: "I wonder what the purpose of Du Jun envoy this company?"
