    In the hall, Xiao Yan's words still shocked the whole audience.  The generals of the Shenwu Victory Army in the room immediately became energetic, just like when Xiao Yan led them in Yandi.  As long as Xiao Yan gives an order, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, these generals will immediately follow him and hit the enemy cavalry roaring over the mountains and plains. Xiao Yan's sharp eyes turned and looked at these generals he had commanded one by one.  .  The first thing I saw was the thick and straight man Niugao.  To be honest, among the brothers from the in-law family who joined him that day, Niu Gao was the closest to him.  Director Niu Gao is just a brave general who goes into battle, but there are many brave generals under Xiao Yan's command, and there are not many who are similar to Niu Gao.  Relatively speaking, he valued Zhang Xian's flexibility, Wang Gui's solidity, and Tang Huai's honesty more seriously.  As for Yue Fei, he is an outstanding figure among generals and cannot be overstated.  Moreover, Niu Gao also had a problem, that is, he often indulged in drinking in the army.  **Fan didn't cause anything, but there were quite a few minor troubles.  Because of his close relationship with Xiao Yanyue Fei and others, no one dared to detain him.  Xiao Yan had no choice but to throw Niu Gao into the hands of the veteran ruffian Han Shizhong and let Han Wu take care of this Niu Gao.  At this moment, Niu Gao was just a Yuhou envoy who was working by Han Shizhong's side. He said he was assisting Han Shizhong in leading the army and horses in the left wing, but in fact, he was just for the convenience of being detained nearby.  When it's time to go into battle, just rush in and kill with Han Shizhong.  If Zhang Xian and Wang Gui Tang Huai were still in the army, their status would be above him.  According to others, Xiao Yan treated this confidant poorly.  It happened that Xiao Yan came to Niu Gao first and asked calmly: "Niu Gao, how are you doing? What are you thinking about these days?" [Search for the latest updates here.] Niu Gao stood in the crowd, highly harmonious.  The other generals are similar, but the horizontal head is half wider.  One person takes up half a person's space.  Everyone looked at them one after another. Niu Gao scratched his head and held it in for a long time before he managed to squeeze out a few words: "I don't know anything. To be honest, give me a command. I can't lead well either."  I usually follow Xuan Zan Xian Mo's men have plenty of food and drink, so they can just fight when facing the enemy. But now when they return to Bianliang, they can't do this or that, and they won't be rewarded.  As for the food and salary, it is said that it has not come down this month. The wine bugs in my stomach are starving to death  I'm not confused. We are capable of fighting, but I don't know how we can feel at ease even if we are allowed to fight in battle if we are treated so poorly.  That¡¯s right. Xian Mo wants to take care of it, and I will listen to Xian Mo¡¯s orders without any hesitation.  "Okay, as for the rest, never mind." Although Niu Gao said it bluntly, the general meaning was always stated clearly and confusingly.  Xiao Yan chose him to speak first because such a rough and straightforward person knew little about the situation in the court and had the least concerns.  Whatever comes to mind, say what you say.  Such cheerful words are most likely to infect this group of generals.  Niu Gao's words did not disappoint him.  However, Xiao Yan didn't say anything, he just nodded quietly with a cold face.  But the other generals were moved by Niu Gao's straightforward words, and they all burst out with all the injustice and anger they had felt during this period, and they talked non-stop.  One is more anxious than the other.  "I am also from the Western Army, and the imperial court has seen the suspicion of the Western Army over the years. I have never seen such a situation. We returned to the capital and were surrounded by the Qing Army.  ¡ª¡ªNow we have to let the Yongning Army take the lead. Look at the faces of those who are in charge of Xianjie. If it weren't for their ability, we would have lost all our glory to the Yongning Army.  Forget it, the officials rewarded us. After we settled in Jinshuiqiao Camp, who has paid attention to us? We should be our superiors in the third yamen, but no one has asked about this until now.  Months of food and wages were paid by the two generals after they broke their legs. By this month, they had no idea where to go to collect them. Within a few months of entering Wei Bianliang, they were transferred to Zhenhe East Road.  Animals have never been like this. How can people feel at ease? " "It's okay to leave the town of Hedong. Anyway, Bianliang is bored, but we have to give us all kinds of resources and equipment.  There are no rewards for the troops at the border, and the weapons and equipment are not repaired. Everything on Hedong Road is in darkness. We have been given such a heavy responsibility to repair the abandoned fortress walls. Where can we find these expenses?  Go? Something went wrong, but it¡¯s still our fault. Who should we talk to about it then?¡±  With such a strong army, all the princes in the court can line up and count how many troops the Song Dynasty can pull out to fight in the field?  If you give us more money in terms of military resources, food and salary, that's it.They were so focused on their service that they could only watch the Shenwu Evervictorious Army slowly weaken.  When we are gone, we can count on the Western Army coming to Bianliang to rescue us.  You must know that the Western Army was also tortured a lot by the imperial court. I wonder if it is still willing to fight to the death like our Shenwu Ever-victorious Army.  Give the title.  Several transshipment envoys on various roads in Hebei have to rush for the Yongning army.  When it was our turn, the two guards were dismissed.  The above specially arranged for Wu Longtu to be the comfort envoy for this mother-in-law. Who doesn't know that Wu Longtu almost attacked us?  If Xian Mo hadn't dealt with it properly, we still don't know where we would be under his control, and what we wanted would be delusional.  To guard the border for the country, just stay within the confines of my mother-in-law." "The defeated army rose to prominence.  We, the heroes of Pingyan, are so jealous.  The imperial court did not treat military officials like this for a day or two, but this time, it was too much." "It is better to fight in Yandi, although from beginning to end, it was basically our army fighting hard.  But Xian Mo led the army and was indescribably happy.  According to my wishes, if we don't leave, we will cause trouble.  Xianmo led the Hedong Road to appease the envoys, and we went out to guard the border. Otherwise, why don't we open the town to Hedong, so we might as well go and rest." "Zhi Niang, we can't swallow our anger like this.  In the Western Army's campaign to conquer Yan, they were unable to do anything but work. We are just waiting here in Bianliang. Look at these useless people in the imperial guards. Do they dare to drive us out?  "Xianmo, we humbly appeal to the court to let Xianmo lead us out of the town of Hedong. Otherwise, who cares about him?"  " The general became excited and had nothing nice to say. Seeing that the generals were talking nonsense, Han Shizhong remained silent. Yue Fei could only yell: "After all, the Shenwu Changsheng Army is the imperial army who said such nonsense.  , won¡¯t you be able to rebel?  " He also felt a little sad in his heart. For Yue Fei, the imperial system was a matter of course. It was also a matter of course to serve the court and resist insults from outsiders. But he had always wanted to do something that was a matter of course, but now it was so unbearable.  The imperial court's fear of the Shenwu Changsheng Army was obvious. No matter how loyal he was to the imperial court, he couldn't bear to see such a powerful army sink, but he still felt that something was wrong with his current actions.  , the young general who was known to be invincible on the battlefield was tortured beyond words. He glanced at Xiao Yan who was standing next to him with a sullen face, and secretly gritted his teeth. What Xiao Yan wanted to do was to preserve this attack.  Yan Yougong's powerful army. Xiao Yan has never disappointed Yue Fei with his actions in such important matters. As for the means, now is the critical moment for the survival of the Shenwu Changsheng Army, so let's forget about it  With a strong army, in the future battlefield against foreign enemies, Yue Fei will always have this life, which can show his daring loyalty. At the moment, the only way to put the whole army first is Xiao Xianmo, and Yue Fei will not be disappointed in the end. Yue Fei gritted his teeth.  , and then added: "Since Xiao Xianmo is here, he will protect the Shenwu Changsheng Army. With the support of Xiao Xianmo in the court, we can rest assured to go out to control Hedong."  When the time comes on the battlefield, let the princes in the court see the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Shenwu Everlasting Victory Army." After Yue Fei scolded, the generals finally shut up one after another, and all looked at Xiao Yan. It was full of people.  At this moment, Xiao Yan could no longer burst out. He slowly took a step forward and said with a smile: "With me here, are you still afraid that the sky will fall?  At the time of Yandi, there was Commander Tong Xuan at the top, and the commander of the army behind him was Liu Yanqing.  The enemies they faced included Xiao Qian, famous generals such as Yelu Dashi, and Jurchen Tatars who came to join in the fun.  Not to mention my confidants, Zhao Liangsi, Guo Yaoshi and others, what will be the result of the rebellion?  Xiao **, Yelu Dashi died, Jurchen Xiao Wang died, Zhao Liangsi died, Guo Yaoshi died and Tong Guan was removed from the throne. Together with Wang Fu, the prime minister of the dynasty, they fell with the Shenwu Changsheng Army and Laozi. Now they are still standing here firmly.  ?  With the current situation, can you still feel sad about being in Yandi?  After months of squatting in Bianliang, your bones have become soft?  If you continue to cry like this and wipe away your tears with only a complaining look, I will turn around and leave and let you bastards sit here." Xiao Yan scolded him like this. It has been a long time since the generals learned this. Now.  Amidst Xiao Yan's hairdryer-like roar, everyone really felt that as long as he was here, there was nothing to worry about in this seemingly unsolvable situation. A few shameless generals even scratched their heads and giggled.  Xiao Yan waved his hand, and the guards immediately brought him a chair. Xiao Yan sat down with the hair dryer still on full blast: "  I am taking care of the matter. You don¡¯t have to think too much. The whole world doesn¡¯t want the Shenwu Ever-victorious Army. I still have to take care of you guys. The people in the imperial court have been here in Bianliang for a long time. I don¡¯t know the wind and frost in the border area.  The suffering.  I don't know that the Tatars who come and go are eyeing our great country.  But I know that no matter what they think, I will always protect this magical and ever-victorious army Peng Ju said it well, preservationA strong army will be on the battlefield in the future. Only then will they know that they can't stay away from us. Only then will they know whether they are more important or we are more important in this Song Dynasty. As long as I, Xiao, stay in the court for a day, one day,  It will let the Song Dynasty know how much we, the military ministers, these soldiers who went into battle and fought face to face with fierce enemies with swords and guns, have paid for more than a hundred years.  One day, the days when we military ministers looked up to civil servants will be gone forever. Let us military ministers also be able to hold our heads high and proud in front of the princes of the court who sang outside the Donghua Gate. As long as I, Xiao, are here, you  We can always see this day." These words immediately made the generals present, and everyone's blood boiled. All the princes in the court, and even the generals who had commanded them in the Western Army before, were not as good as this Xiao Xianmo. Only this Xiao Xianmo knew best  Their hearts can best inspire their fighting spirit and make them feel at ease. This Xiao Xianmo is not just talking about it, but he lives and dies with them. Everyone sees it.  Xiao Xianmo did not retreat at all. Now he is still standing firmly in the heart of Bianliang. As for whether Xiao Yan's words were too much, how deviant they were for the ancestral system of the Song Dynasty at this time.  In Bang Wuchen¡¯s mind, who cares about it?  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Xiao Yan calmed down a little and slowly scanned the generals in the field. He was satisfied that the depressing atmosphere when he entered was completely gone.  . Everyone has a sense of excitement, even Yue Fei, who is still a little troubled, and Han Shizhong, who has become a veteran, are no exception. Xiao Yan smiles in his heart, and his influence on this Shenwu victorious army is still there.  Enough words of encouragement that no one can replace. Now it¡¯s time to come up with something concrete. In addition to influence, how much benefit can it bring to this military horse, how much room for development it can bring, and even how much room for development it can bring to these generals.  How much room for improvement there is? These practical things are also indispensable. In the past, Xiao Yan relied on deceiving Tong Guan to raise this army horse, and later relied on capturing it from the powerful men of Yan.  The contribution, coupled with the support of Lao Zhong, can barely sustain the huge daily consumption of this already quite large army. But now, he has horses in Tanzhou and Dongchuan Waju.  Liang, who runs the football market in Bianliang, is still promoting a money game that is similar to a Ponzi scheme. The resources at hand are surprisingly abundant, but they have to be used dispersedly.  It¡¯s almost all done, and maybe it¡¯s not as concentrated and abundant as the resources he has in his hands at the moment. Even if these words are a bit exaggerated, it is more than enough for him to support the survival and expansion of the Shenwu Changsheng Army in recent years.  Xiao Yan said lightly: "Good minister, Pengju, if the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army were to station at the edge of Hedong Road, how much would it cost approximately.  Is it over?  " Han Shizhong looked at Yue Fei without any shame. The above are his head and tail. Han Shizhong is a bit like Xiao Yan in the Shenwu Evervictorious Army, more like a spiritual leader who does not take care of details. Although he has  Many shortcomings, but one thing that is rare is that he can get along well with anyone. The Shenwu Changsheng Army was formed by the old troops of the Western Army and the old Yandi Changsheng Army, plus the powerful sons of Yandi.  He can pull it off very well, and when there is a gap, he can still control the situation between laughter and scolding. It can be said that he is the glue of the entire Shenwu Evervictorious Army. As for Yue Fei, he handles more details in the army and military law.  The strict restraint prevented the Shenwu Changsheng Army from becoming arrogant under Han Shizhong's laughter. The two of them complemented each other, and Yue Fei actually had some talent in financial planning.  He was born to run an army. In real history, after Emperor Gaozong went south, the Yue Family Army established by Yue Fei also did well in operations. It was said to be the richest among the five armies at that time.  According to Yue Fei's background, it can only be said that these talents were given by heaven. Xiao Yan was able to get the help of these brothers before he crossed over. It was indeed good luck that Yue Fei was going to go out to control Hedong.  I found many military fortresses in Hedong and their Shenwu Changsheng Army defense area to take a closer look. I also found a lot of information about the current condition of the Hedong Baozhai border wall from the nearly abandoned Privy Council Office.  There are no things, but the things on these documents are random. Can you tell that the wealth and military resources are there?  Working hard to repay them one by one can be considered as giving a clear answer to the many generals of the Shenwu Evervictorious Army.  Arrive at Dingzhou on Hebei West Road in the north.  Winding and winding, more than 900 meters longinside.  There are Kugu Village, Xiyao Village, Louban Village, Yunnei Village, Yangwu Village, Tuxeng Village, Yanmen Village, Xixing Village, Hugu Village, Ruyue Village, Dashi Village, and Yixing Village in Yuanbianguan Village.  Zhizhai, Maguzhai, Pingxingzhai, Beizhai, Junchengzhai and other important military villages are twenty-seven.  Among them, Yunnei Village, Yanmen Village, Ruyue Village, Pingxing Village and Juncheng Village are particularly important.  Heavy troops must be left on daily guard duty.  After the Yuanbian military stronghold is established, the Ninghua army, Daizhou, and Xingtang should be used as support to support the Yuanbian military stronghold at any time.  Except for a few of these important military strongholds, almost all were deserted, with no reserves inside and no strong troops outside.  Most of them need to be renovated and restored.  The capital for the construction of Xiaozhai is 20,000 yuan, and the capital for the construction of Dazhai is 100,000 yuan.  That means 940,000 yuan of capital is needed.  Ninghua Army, Daizhou, and Xingtang established military camps, each of which required 200,000 guan to build.  This defense system alone, which has the smallest restored frontier fortress, is worth almost one and a half million strings. Even if Daizhou and Ninghua armies can requisition local civilians to offset the part, it is still very small. If the palace is really established, I am afraid that it will not even be possible.  None of the people who are recruiting civilians will cooperate with the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army" Having said this, the faces of all the generals present turned pale. I didn't expect that the land on the edge of Hedong Road was already so miserable. Just alone  How much investment is needed to restore the least defensive functions of some important border villages. You must know that building a border defense system is always the most expensive. Yue Fei only selected the most important ones, and omitted many that were not the most cost-effective.  The project was in urgent need. But after the generals thought about it, Xiao Yan made a fortune in Yanjing and made some money when he came back to run the football market - he couldn't get the majority of it.  Everything that belongs to his name should be sent to the official family. If he wants to support such a huge project of rebuilding the Hedong defense line, he can't sell it for so much money. Yue Fei glanced at Xiao Yan and couldn't help but say.  : "If it really doesn't work, it is absolutely essential to station troops in Ninghua Army, Daizhou, and Xingtang.  The border military stronghold can only be supported by regular patrol sentries.  However, without the support of the garrison camp, the soldiers could not fight with peace of mind. They were unable to advance or retreat, and nothing could be done.  These three military camps cannot be spared" Xiao Yan had no expression on his face. He just snorted lightly and waved his hand: "Continue to say The military stronghold has been established.  The garrison camp was set up.  But it's not just soldiers.  Food must be stored all around, garrison equipment must be provided, and military resources must be sufficient.  And such a stall is spread out.  Shenwu's ever-victorious army has more than ten thousand soldiers, five thousand horses and six thousand foot soldiers, which is not enough to distribute.  We also need to recruit strong expansion, how to expand, how much to expand, and how much food support it will cost. Calculate it one by one for me." Yue Fei nodded in agreement, bit the bullet and continued talking. They were indeed looking forward to it before Xiao Yan came.  Xiao Yan extended his hand to the Shenwu Changsheng Army. But now he was afraid that the number would be too big, so he simply scared Xiao Yan away.  A plan to station troops in three places.  The five most important military strongholds are commanded by two or three to station troops.  Mainly on foot, mixed with a small amount of riding.  Five villages require five thousand infantry.  For a year of grain harvesting, one soldier would be fed three dan of rice per year, and twice as much for horses and mules.  Otherwise, 20,000 shi would not be enough unless the grain was collected.  Among the three military camps, Daizhou was the most important, followed by Ninghua's army marching to Tang Dynasty.  The total army must be 10,000 infantry and 10,000 horse.  It is enough to stabilize the rear and support the edges.  If one year of harvesting grain is enough, one hundred and fifty thousand shi can be used.  Hedong produces grain, and there are many fertile fields in Zhending.  It is not too difficult to lose to the edge.  This is the capital to store and transport grain.  If you don't have millions of strings, it won't be enough.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­ In addition to Tuotun grain, military -funded equipment is stored.  There are coal and iron in the east of the river, and there are also weapons supervisors.  The court will always allocate part of it, and if the rest is insufficient, the only choice is to buy it.  The reserves are sufficient to be used, but I am afraid that I will have to prepare millions more Shenwu's ever-victorious army now has 6,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry.  To support the eastern edge of the river, it is necessary to expand the infantry army by nearly 10,000 and the horse army by 5,000.  It can barely be said to be stable.  In this regard, good ministers and Fei are still confident, and training an army will be effective in reaping the rewards.  There are no more than 600,000 military numbers in the Dumen Gate, but there are actually only a few who go into battle.  With 25,000 strong troops in hand, Hedong can be said to be safe.  For the required sergeants, one strong one can be recruited from Hedong, and one can be recruited from Yan.  The missing horses can be purchased from the Yunnan states and the Yan region.  This expands the funds for purchasing horses.  Another one and a half million dollars.  As planned above, Shenwu's ever-victorious army will establish a town in the east of Hedong. All kinds of stakes will require a total of nearly 5 million yuan.  From the imperial court, we can always count on something" Speaking later, Yue Fei sounded a bit like Xianglin's wife, always saying that the imperial court might take care of part of it. The first army marched to the edge of the town and restored the defense system. Needed  The amount of resources is truly astronomical. Yue Fei has calculated extremely carefully and frugally. No matter how small the Shenwu Changsheng Army is, it will not be able to develop and strengthen Pingfan Hedong. But.  Speaking of this number, it makes people too desperate. They also know in their hearts that even if the central government of the imperial court gives a small token to the Hedong Road pacification envoy in the future, they may not be able to get even the fraction.?We have to rely on Xiao Yan for the rest, but how can Xiao Yan come up with so much money?  The generals were originally in high spirits, but when they heard such carefully calculated figures, they all became dejected.  It seems that the Shenwu Evervictorious Army is in a desperate situation. Even if Xiao Xianmo is willing to take action, he may not be able to help.  Everyone went to Hedong, and just hanging out for a day was considered a day.  When we can no longer hold on, we all have to find our own way out.  The imperial court was really cruel, throwing the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army to the edge of the river facing the Jurchen Tatars' front, but was unwilling to give anything to the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army.  Just sit and watch them wear out and weaken.  Shenwu's ever-victorious army was dead to Pingyan, how could he be sorry for this court? Unexpectedly, Yue Fei said such a huge number, Xiao Yan still refused to give up, and added coldly: "I'm afraid it won't be more than that."   The Shenwu Ever Victorious Army now has more than 10,000 soldiers. No matter how good the food and salary of these troops are, it is expected that some discounts will come slowly.  After all, I am not very optimistic anyway Although the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army is ready to expand its military strength to suppress the border, it will be very difficult for the court to use these expanded troops  The 25,000-strong army needs to supplement its military salary, which is about six to seven hundred thousand dollars. Why doesn't this count?" Some general said in a dejected voice: "Forget it, what's the point?  Use? Anyway, it¡¯s all a word. Let¡¯s disperse at Hedong Road, so that the imperial court can have peace with the Yan war, even if we fight for Zhao Guan¡¯s family, it will be in vain.¡±
