The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 332
After cleaning up the dust for everyone in Shaohua Mountain, Mu Xu had private conversations with several people in the next few days to understand their personalities and talents.Leaving aside Chen Da and Yang Chun, his main focus is Shi Jin and Zhu Wu.

What can Shi Jin say, this guy is young, he doesn't have any extra thoughts, he only wants to improve his martial arts, and his talent is quite high.

Besides Zhu Wu, after a long talk with him, Mu Xu found that he was indeed a great talent, but he was more good at military affairs than he had made much achievements in internal affairs.

Now that he knew the specialties of several people, Mu Xu knew how to use them well. He worshiped Zhu Wu as the left military adviser and was in charge of military affairs counselor.Then the infantry was expanded into a full-scale army based on the Song system, and they all considered themselves commanders, with Lu Zhishen as their deputy.

The Manchurian Army had four battle battalions and one supply battalion. Lu Zhishen commanded the first battalion as the deputy commander of the capital.Of the remaining four battalion commanders, only two were appointed, namely Shi Jin and Song Wan, with Chen Da and Yang Chun as their deputy.Among them, Song Wan and Yang Chun are in charge of the supply camp.

As for the two vacant battalion commanders, one was specially reserved by Mu Xu for Yang Zhi, and the other was reserved for later generations because there was no suitable candidate.

In addition to the infantry, because a thousand horses were brought from Tokyo, Mu Xu formed two cavalry battalions. One was led by himself, and the other was still under the command of Lin Chong.

In fact, Mu Xu didn't want to use the military system of the Song Dynasty at first. He originally planned to re-establish a new military system based on the military system of later generations and combined with the current actual situation.

But after thinking about it again and again, he still gave up this idea. Now that the people of the present have deeply rooted in the Song Dynasty, changing it rashly will only be counterproductive.

Secondly, the military system of the Song Dynasty is indeed more suitable for the era of cold weapons.The Song Army's combat effectiveness was not good, and it had little to do with the military system. After all, in the early Song Dynasty, the Forbidden Army's combat effectiveness was still very strong.The reason why the hips were so stretched later, in the final analysis, was that the central court was too defensive against warriors, and always liked to play the game of using words to control martial arts.

Mu Xu came from a later generation, so of course he understands professional things and needs professional people to handle them. Like the Song Dynasty emperor who grew up in the deep palace, he thought he was a genius military strategist. Every time he sent a general to an expedition, he had to draw a map in advance. Regardless of the terrain and the actual situation, he only asked the army to fight according to his formation map, which is more ridiculous than a child's play house.

The typical representative here is Zhao Guangyi, the god of war on the Gaoliang River and the master of donkey cart drifting. He is obviously not as good as his brother Zhao Kuangyin in military talent, but he is so self-righteous that he ruined the hard work of Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin for many years, and made the Northern Song Dynasty powerless. Bei Gu Youyun finally fell into the situation of buying peace with old coins.

Of course, the Song Dynasty adopted the national policy of using literature to suppress military affairs to prevent the repeat of the mistakes of the five generations of warriors who disrupted the country. Unfortunately, it was too overkill, so that there was no developed economy, but it could not be transformed into effective strength. sigh.

Although Mu Xu still used the Song system in the army, there were some changes. For example, in addition to the army establishment, he also established an engineering battalion and a scout battalion. The former was commanded by Du Qian and was responsible for building the cottage.The latter, headed by Shi Qian and Zhu Gui, is responsible for spying on the military and assassinating enemy leaders.

The scout battalion established by Mu Xu is fundamentally different from the traditional scout battalion in the army. First of all, it is independent and responsible to Mu Xu alone.

Secondly, in terms of function, it is more like a combination of the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty and the special forces of later generations.To put it bluntly, this is the spy organization established by Mu Xutuo in the name of the scout battalion.

After establishing a regular army, Mu Xu became even busier. Every day he was not supervising the construction of the cottage, or going to the school grounds for military training. He didn't even have much time to kiss Li Shishi and Zhao Yuannu.

Not to mention how busy Liangshanbo was, but Yang Zhi had received the order from Liang Zhongshu, led the old governor, two Yuhou, and eleven Xiang troops, escorting one hundred thousand birthday cards, and headed for Tokyo City.

In order to be safe for this trip, Yang Zhi faced the scorching sun every day, got up at Chen Shi, and rested at Shen Shi, which caused the group of people to complain.But Yang Zhi didn't realize it, he still went his own way, urging him from time to time, if he stopped, he would scold him severely, or hit him with a rattan cane, forcing him to move forward.

As a result, the people who were already full of complaints became even more alienated from Yang Zhi. Finally, they ignored him in Huangnigang, and Wu used tricks to turn him down with Mongolian sweat medicine.The last scene that caught Yang Zhi's eyes was the seven jujube sellers shouting, "That's true, that's true!"

Yang Zhi ate the least amount of wine, so he was the first to wake up. When waiting to see, the fourteen people were all drooling and unable to move, and the eleven loads of gold, silver and jewels they were carrying had long since disappeared.

Thinking of finally being appreciated by Liang Zhongshu, but not wanting to capsize in the gutter, Yang Zhi cursed at the people lying on the ground,
"It's all you stupid pigs who didn't listen to my words, and now they've been robbed, and they've hurt the Sa family!"

After cursing for a while, Yang Zhiyou couldn't let go of his hatred, so he picked up the cane and beat these people up.But after finishing the fight, thinking that he had lost this errand, he would have no future at all, so he sighed,

"Now that I have a family, it's hard to escape, and a country is hard to vote for. Where do I go? Why don't I just find a place to die on this hill!"

At the moment, Yang Zhi found a high place in Huangnigang, and wanted to jump and finish it all.At the critical moment, he suddenly stopped his movements and pondered,

"Father and mother gave birth to Sajia, with a dignified appearance and a dignified body. They have mastered eighteen martial arts since elementary school, and they can't just rest like this! It's better to save a useful body and save it for the future than to find a place to die today.

Besides, it's not that the Sa family has nowhere to go, thinking that brother Mu Xu loves me so much, why not go vote for him, maybe there will be a day to revive the lintel. "

Thinking of this, Yang Zhi immediately gave up his will to die, picked up the Pu Dao, and went straight to Liangshanbo without looking back.

Such a day and night, avoiding the state capital, traveling for more than seven or eight days, finally came to the vicinity of Liangshan Po, but Yang Zhi hesitated, there was no other reason, it was really a bit embarrassing.

After all, Mu Xu treated him so courteously before, but he always cared about the imperial court. Now that he came to vote at the end of the road, he always felt a little embarrassed.While hesitating, he heard someone shouting in front of him, "But Brother Yang?"

Yang Zhi looked around, and saw Ruan Xiaoqi standing in a restaurant by the side of the road waving to him, seeing that he was recognized by an acquaintance, Yang Zhi simply stopped avoiding him, went straight to Ruan Xiaoqi, and bowed with his hands clasped together.
"How is brother here?"

Ruan Xiaoqi pointed to the wine shop behind him, and replied, "I accompanied my brother to see Brother Shi off, and I saw the man Xiang Xiang from a distance, so I asked a casual question."

As he spoke, he pulled Yang Zhi into the room and shouted, "Brother, look who's here?"

Yang Zhi was dragged by Ruan Xiaoqi, and as soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw only Mu Xu and a few waiters inside, without any other guests.

Hearing Ruan Xiaoqi's voice, Mu Xu raised his head and looked towards the door, seeing that it was Yang Zhi who came, he greeted him with a smile on his face, and said in his mouth,
"I reckoned that brother was coming, and I was about to send someone to meet you in the distance. Who would have thought that brother would arrive by himself, it would be such a great joy!"

Yang Zhi was taken aback when he heard this, and asked involuntarily, "How did the elder brother know that the younger brother was coming?"

Mu Xu asked Yang Zhi to sit down and said, "Yesterday, I received news from the Daming Mansion. There was a rumor from the Liang Zhongshu Mansion that my brother was not good enough to escort the birthday party, and he has already fled."

When Yang Zhi heard this, he immediately became furious, and cursed, "This gang of thieves, if they didn't listen to my good advice, how could they have survived like this, and they didn't reflect on themselves, but came here to beat me up, it's really hateful!"

"Brother, please be safe and don't be impatient. What is there to care about with these villains? It all depends on the future." Mu Xu comforted.

Yang Zhi didn't say any more, got up and bowed down, "The Sa family has nowhere to go today, so I have the audacity to ask my brother to take it in!"

Mu Xu laughed and helped Yang Zhi up, and said, "I have a good younger brother, he will be like a tiger with wings added, and I will have a bright future as a brother in the future."

Then, Mu Xu ordered the shopkeeper to bring a few catties of cooked beef and wine. While eating wine with the two, he explained to Yang Zhi,
"This restaurant is the stronghold of our copycat. It is usually responsible for inquiring news and receiving the heroes who come to vote."

Yang Zhi nodded, thinking of the Brother Shi that Ruan Xiaoqi had mentioned just now, he couldn't help asking curiously.Mu Xu replied, "You're talking about a newcomer from the mountain. His surname is Shi Mingjin. I'll send him to Jiankang Mansion to invite someone to come."
