Chapter 153 Song people who can't attack
Wang Liangjing is a very down-to-earth person. He does not have as many colorful things as his son. As long as he recognizes one path, he will run to the dark.
He shouldered the hatred of the country and had to settle accounts with the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, he was very ruthless in training troops, but he was willing to spend money. No matter what the famine outside was like, the Wang family's troops and the Xiang army never lacked meat.
Although the foals in the Wild Wolf Valley Horse Farm have not grown yet, the soldiers of the Wang family are not short of war horses. Not to mention anything else, just planting sweet sorghum, after autumn, they will sell 200,000 shi of sugar. Don’t think it’s too scary. There are one or two million people in one Bianjing City, and most of them are rich.
I usually cook, make snacks and season them. Children like to eat candy and snacks. I consume one-third of the amount in Beijing alone.
The Cao family has estimated that the market north of the Yangtze River alone is enough to digest millions of stones of white sugar, and it can be said that there is still a very amazing room for improvement!
The sugar brought tens of millions of yuan in profits, and the candles and soap made of whale oil were also sold out. Wang Ning'an knew that he could not take it alone. He wanted to share the money with others, but he was unwilling to let others take too much advantage, so Wang Ning'an threw out the agency method.
Similar to the imperial court's buying pounce, you can get exclusive sales rights in certain areas by just giving the Wang family a sum of money.
With this item, Wang Ning'an saved another five million yuan.
Although many of these 15 million jin were replaced by food to help the victims, the big boss was still used in the Wang family's military equipment.
Wang Liangjing didn't say it, but knew it in his heart.
He did not disappoint Wang Ning'an's efforts. Wang Liangjing tried his best to give money everywhere and communicated with each other. He bought three thousand useful war horses for the Wang family from horse farms in Hebei and even Shandong, with an average of three soldiers.
Such a luxurious configuration is the first among the Song Dynasty’s army!
Even the weapons are also important. There are 300 soldiers with a full set of armor, and the rest also have armor on their upper body to protect the key points.
Since whaling, the whale has abundant skins, and the Wang family's soldiers and war horses have been worn with leather armor. This thing is light and sturdy, which can keep warm and defend against bows and arrows. It is very popular.
In addition, Wang Liangjing also spent a lot of money to poach the Daming Mansion and get a few craftsmen who made crossbows.
A few months ago, didn’t Zhao Zhen give 20 bed crossbows to the Wang family?
Wang Liangjing asked someone to study and imitate it. It is actually not difficult to make a bed crossbow. What is difficult is that it requires high-quality tendons, glue and other materials. Not only is it expensive, but it is also rare, so even the Song army cannot open its equipment.
However, this most difficult thing has become the easiest thing for the Wang family. The quality of the glue produced by the whale's cartilage is excellent, and the tendons of whale are tougher than beef tendons.
The workshop created forty bed crossbows in one go, and Wang Ning'an also made suggestions that the bed crossbows of the Song Dynasty were all used to defend the city, which was very bulky.
He proposed to install the bed crossbow on a carriage so that it could move quickly and exert its power in the field.
Wang Ning'an is not a genius to do things. He can't get out artillery in a short time, so he can only rely on the existing equipment of the Song Dynasty. However, judging from his father's expression, the modification was successful.
"Ning'an, with these bed crossbows to help, our troops may be able to compete with the Liao soldiers. No, we will definitely win!" Wang Liangjing clenched his fists and looked towards the northwest. A scout just came back to report that the Liao soldiers appeared thirty miles away and were setting fire and looting.
"Look at how dad kills the enemy!"
Wang Liangjing carried a horse spear and was about to rush forward to rescue the people.
"etc."
Wang Ning'an stopped his father's war horse, "Dad, I'll ask for a few questions."
Wang Liangjing was a little impatient, but said, "What do you want to ask?"
"Why do you need to save someone?"
"That's more, we are soldiers of the Song Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom is scattering wildly on our territory. Can your father turn a blind eye?"
"Are you sure?"
Wang Liangjing was suddenly asked. Even though he had given all his money and spared no expense, the Wang family's subordinates were still too immature. Not to mention comparing with the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom, even if they were inferior to the Yang family's troops.
No matter how you look at it, there are fewer wins and more defeats in this battle.
But the question is, can people watch their own people be killed without any hesitation?
Wang Liangjing said viciously: "Even if you lose, I will bite a piece of Liao Dog's meat! Let them know that there are good men in the Song Dynasty, and they cannot be allowed to enter and exit at will."
Of course, Wang Ning'an admired Dad's courage. If the Song army could do this, it might not be impossible to fight. But the problem is that Dad would be isolated and helpless when he went there. Other Song troops would only hide in the castle and peep, and would never come out to help, and would not even provide supplies. No matter how hard he could fight, he would be consumed sooner or later. There were too many such tragedies, and Wang Ning'an did not want to repeat the lessons of his ancestors.
"Dad, we should go to the forefront, although it is worthy of admiration, but not worth imitating. We cannot just think about fighting hard, winning, and saving the elders and fellow villagers in Cangzhou."
"Then what can you do?"
"Go out!" Wang Ning'an said decisively.
"How to fight?" Wang Liangjing asked with a frown.
"Of course, they can burn, kill, loot in the Song Dynasty, and we can also enter the territory of Liao, and make the same mistakes, so that they can taste the pain of severing their skin!"
"ah!"
These few words also shocked Wang Liangjing.
You dare to break into the Liao Kingdom. You dare to say that since Zhao Er was defeated, the Song Dynasty has no general who dared to take the initiative to attack. It has been attacked by the Liao Kingdom for many years. The Song Dynasty is passively prepared and able to block the Liao army and reduce casualties is considered a great achievement. You dare to find the bad luck of the Liao Kingdom. Who will give you the courage!
The Song Dynasty's domestication of generals has been around for hundreds of years. At first, Zhao Da only removed the military power of generals who were more capable than him. After all, as a founding king, he was a little confident.
When Zhao Er arrived, he became more and more powerful, trying to turn the general into a lump of wood, a fool who knew nothing. Before the war, he gave a formation map imagined by the civil servants out of thin air. He set up the formation according to this formation, dared to play casually, and if he won, he would be a ill-gotten plot!
Think about it, under such twisted depression, the warrior's head was filled with paste and his spine was broken. It would be strange if he had the courage to counterattack!
Fortunately, Wang Liangjing has never suffered this kind of destruction, and Wang Ning'an is even more a bold and bold person.
"Since we are not sure of victory, it is better to avoid the real and attack the virtual, hide the world and run to the territory of Liao Kingdom, and make a big fuss!"
Wang Liangjing frowned, "Ning'an, can this work? We can't defeat the Liao soldiers in our territory. When we reach the territory of the Liao Kingdom, we are not familiar with the place, so I'm afraid..."
"Don't be afraid!" Wang Ning'an suddenly smiled thief, "Dad, do you think that a child is just smuggling and making money? The map of Nanjing Road in Liao Kingdom is in the heart of the child!"
"Ouch!"
Wang Liangjing was overjoyed and rubbed his hands excitedly.
"What are you waiting for? Let's give Liaogou a good look!"
While speaking, their team immediately rushed north like a whirlwind. Along the way, they deliberately avoided the Liao soldiers who went south to Diaocaogu. At the closest dusk, they finally arrived less than ten miles from the Yellow River.
Wang Ning'an asked someone to call Li Wuji over.
"I'll ask you two questions, and you must answer me honestly."
"Yes, please ask a question."
"Are you a Han or a Khitan?"
"I'm a Khitan!"
"Are you from Liao or Song?"
Li Wuji hesitated a little and immediately patted his chest, "My generations of ancestors have lived in Yingzhou, I am from Yingzhou, the Great Song Dynasty!"
"good!"
Wang Ning'an nodded with satisfaction, "You should take your brothers and pretend to be a victorious army back from Caogu. Cross the river immediately, and our troops will arrive later."
"Abide by the order!"
Li Wuji nodded vigorously. In fact, Wang Ning'an's question just now was a bit redundant. What Li Wuji agreed more about was who eats and who work for him!
Although Wang Ning'an was not very good to him and tortured him in every way, Wang Ning'an was so kind to him!
The old lady's blind eyes were treated by a doctor, and there were ointments for frostbite on her arms and legs. She could eat hot porridge every meal and even had a sheepskin shoulder.
Although there are not many things, Li Wuji is very grateful to him. But he really doesn't want to continue to pretend to be a rich businessman. This time, Wang Ning'an rescued him from Fan Zhen and asked him to go north with the army. Li Wuji felt that this was his opportunity. A man is a real man, and he should do what he should do if he is a real man, killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions!
As for who I belong to, I am confused about those things, I am full after eating. Now I should eat enough first!
Li Wuji was detained and transported dozens of carriages, safely and safely. He stepped on the ice and crossed the Yellow River. He walked forward all the way and encountered Liao soldiers from time to time. Li Wuji's heart was in his throat, but what surprised him was that these Liao soldiers had no doubt at all.
Li Wuji relied on his courage to throw them a few jars of wine, and immediately became brothers.
Anyway, there were too many troops in the Liao Kingdom, with different accents, and ordinary soldiers could not see the flaws of Li Wuji and the others. After entering the Liao Kingdom, a tent appeared in front of them, with laughter and cheerful and bright lights, obviously standing celebrating victory.
Li Wuji gritted his teeth, and asked his brothers to rest assured. He ran to the tent and also delivered a lot of fine wine. The enthusiastic Liao soldiers pulled him in and walked around.
The Liao soldiers were drinking and eating meat in a big mouthful. In the tent next to them, there were dozens of women from the Great Song Dynasty who had been looted. Obviously, they had to enjoy it when they were happy.
Li Wuji gritted his teeth secretly. He came out of the tent and returned to the convoy. He was about to reach the third day of the day, and the moon above his head was blocked by thick clouds. It was a good time to kill people.
Li Wuji bit the scabbard with his mouth, separated the artemisia with his hands, and walked carefully with hundreds of brothers, approached the tent. At this time, he was already drunk and pulled off his coat and rushed towards the tent next to him.
"kill!"
Li Wuji reached out and pulled out the knife, like a leopard, and rushed forward. The knife light flashed in his hand and directly penetrated into the chest of a Liao Yuhou. The guy winked and was unwilling to die, "You, you, how, how to kill, kill yourself... people..."
Until his death, he thought it was the Liao soldiers who fought against each other because the Song people would not attack...
