Chapter 350 Bows and Arrows
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said to Zhu Wu and others: "It seems that Fan Shi has persuaded his father."
Zhu Wu smiled and said: "As long as Fan Ying is not stupid, he naturally knows that his small village cannot resist me waiting here."
Shi Kuo and others also spoke one after another, saying: "General Hu Wei, Shi Ying is a little hunter, how about it. Dare to offend General Huwei."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said, "Who will welcome the Fan family and his son in for me?"
Guang Hui said: "Let's go to Sa's house."
Sun Guang also said: "General, I recognize Fan Ying and would like to accompany you."
Seeing Zhao Zhen nodding, Guang Hui and Sun Guang walked out of the tent. After a while, Guang Hui came in with the Fan family and his son. They saw Fan Ying, a tall man with dark skin, but a look of awe between his eyebrows.
After meeting Zhao Zhen, Fan Ying and his son knelt down directly on the ground and said, "General, Fan Zhuang is willing to surrender and be a good citizen under his rule."
Speaking, from He took out a second-level [100-year-old black sesame] from his arms and raised his hands to his head: "This black sesame is not young, and it was stolen by the villain from the protection of a black snake in the mist after all the hard work. It has been hidden at home, and today I would like to offer it to the general to repay his kindness for not killing the child. The villain also brought a cart of furs and feathers, which were accumulated by the hunters in the village over the years, as well as 30 fat sheep. Come to the army.”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen asked Shi Ying and Shi Ying to get up, and sent someone to fetch Zhang Lanxiang, the second daughter of the Zhang family, and pointed Zhang Lanxiang to Fan Shi in front of everyone.
Fan Shi was very happy to see Zhang Lanxiang and paid homage to Zhao Zhen.
Zhu Wudao: "Fan Shi, Zhang, you two must listen carefully. Because the Zhang family gathered a crowd to resist, all the family members were originally forced to do hard labor. Fan Zhuang took the initiative to surrender, and the high officials were kind. , then Zhang was pardoned, you can do it yourself."
Fan Shi said: "Don't worry, sir, Lan Xiang will be a member of the Fan family from now on."
Zhao Zhen nodded. He said: "Fan Lizheng, you took the initiative to vote and presented a treasure Ganoderma lucidum. I cannot but reward you. I heard that your archery skills are famous in the countryside. Today I will hire you to be an archery instructor. From now on, you will be responsible for teaching archery skills to the army's sergeants. Military If you receive a salary, you won’t have to hunt for food in the mountains every day.”
After that, he said to the crowd: "When you go back, you will also inform the villagers that the army will recruit sergeants from the two capitals. If you are interested, you can come and sign up. This sergeant will be well paid, with a salary, a salary, a salary, and enough to support him." One family. There are rewards for meritorious service, and two clothes for the New Year."
The crowd was listening and talking a lot. Shi Kuo boldly asked: "General, I wonder where the recruited sergeants will be stationed?"
Everyone in the crowd looked at Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen said: "Go to Liangshan County to practice for one month. Once you pass the test, you can When we enter the army, we will be stationed in Jingmen Town. When the time comes, a general will be here."
After hearing this, everyone stepped forward to fight for more places. While they were making a fuss, the sergeant came in and said, "Sir, sir, the spies came across the people led by Xiaoxian Cheng and Chief Pei. They have already brought them over and are waiting outside the camp."
"Please come in quickly."
After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen introduced Xiao Rang and Pei Xuan to everyone.
Xiao Rang stood up and cupped his hands and said: "I am new here, so I have to rely on everyone to help me."
Everyone naturally knew that Xiao Rang was talking about clearing the household registration and land, and the situation was more complicated than before. People are strong, so naturally they don't dare to resist openly, so they all surrender. Everyone had lunch together, and Xiao Rang asked everyone to go back and find out the household registers, village records, and fish scale atlases of each village. When the time comes, they will measure on the spot according to the household registers and fish scale albums, and check for any gaps. Xiao Rang led a group of scribes to clear Zhang and Qi Village in the town.
Zhao Zhen stayed in the camp as a deterrent.
The two villages in the town were leaderless, and the army was stationed outside the town. No one dared to resist. Surveying the land and registering the population went smoothly. Later, they registered village by village according to their distance, and a clerk was left as deputy chief. Promote various laws in Liangshan County, manage village schools, and supervise taxation.
Stayed for three days in a row. During this period, Zhao Zhen spent five points of luck to connect Fanzhuang with Jingmen Town. Fanzhuang is a barren place and they rely entirely on hunting and herding to support their family. The only thing worthy of praise is that Fan Zhuang, a young and strong man, can draw a bow and shoot an arrow. At a distance of fifty steps, most of the shots are six or seven out of ten. No matter how far you go, the accuracy will be much worse due to insufficient bow power.
Ever since learning about the salaries of Liangshan soldiers, every household in Fanzhuang wanted to join the army. Relying on his archery skills, Zhao Zhen recruited all fifty-three people from Fan Village into the army. He planned to send them to Wanzi City for training and then, together with the hunters from Liu Shi Village in Shangwang Village, establish a new bow and arrow capital.
Zhao Zhen took Lu Zhishen, Ling Zhen and others by boat back to Liangshan County. Lin Chong and other horse troops also returned to Liangshan County through the fog. Only Commander Guanghui and 500 infantry were left in Jingmen Town to guard and assist. Xiao Rang and Pei Xuan cleared the land and population.
Besides, during the days when Zhao Zhen was campaigning in Jingmen Town, Wu Yong also met people from Qingzhou in Liangshan County. The ones who came were none other than Li Zhong, the "Tiger Fighting General" who had an old acquaintance with Liang Shang, Song Jiang's brother "Iron Fan" Song Qing, and his confidant "Ghost Seeing Sorrow" Lai Yong'er. Six Che'er were in custody.
When Yong'er and the five returned to Qingfeng Village, they opened the box and cage. Except for the gold and silver ingots in the two compartments, the rest were pearl agate, antique calligraphy and painting, embroidered silk and satin, etc. It was very troublesome to cash out.
Jianze exposed his hidden possessions, and the Qingzhou government began to dispatch troops and generals. There was nowhere to buy the weapons, armor and other items that were in short supply in the village, so Zhao Zhen came up with the idea of here.
Lai Yong'er and the other three met Wu Yong who was receiving them. After greetings, Lai Yong'er asked: "Everyone in the world says that Zhao Daguan specializes in getting to know heroes in the world, helping people in need when they are in need. Please make a recommendation on your behalf, and let us meet with the senior official today."
Wu Yong sighed and said, "It's unlucky for you to come here. There are many conflicts between the senior official here and Yanggu County, and we already led the way yesterday. The army is out. If everything goes well, the official will be back in three to five days. On June 12, the official will take the concubine. If the three brothers stay for a few more days, they will naturally see the official in the pigeon letter. , Brother Zhu Gui said that you are coming to purchase ordnance, and the senior official has entrusted this matter to his younger brother."
Song Qing heard this and handed over his hands and said: "Study, my brother and King Chao Tian were the most important. Well, now that my brother has been killed because of murder, word has spread in the world that we have robbed Mr. Cai Jing’s birth plan, and there are quite a few people coming to vote for him these days.”
"It's just that the Qingzhou government is about to encircle and suppress our stronghold. Now we are short of soldiers and armor, so we have to come to the official to buy weapons and armor. Please brother, please sell some armor to us. Thank you very much."
< br>Wu Yong said with some embarrassment: "It's easy to talk about swords, guns and arrows. There is really no excess armor. There are still some renovated old leather armors in the library, but there are few iron armors."
Song Qing, Lai Yong The children looked at each other, and Lai Yong'er said: "It's good to have Jia. Maybe the scholar will take me to have a look?"
After hearing this, Wu Yong took the three of them to a warehouse and saw many Old leather armor, Lai Yong'er and Song Qing found Wu Yong. Lai Yong'er said: "Brother, I want all the leather armor in the warehouse. The simple knives and spear heads forged last time also cost 3,000 pieces each. Please Brother, tell me the price.”
Wu Yong said: “The price is the same as last time. I’ll make the decision and sell you some more armor.”
Lai Yong'er and Song Qing looked at each other, and Song Qing nodded and said: "Pedant, I don't dare to stay any longer. Today we will count the armor and weapons, load the car and leave."
Wu Yong Nodding, the person began to clean up the inventory. 1,000 pairs of leather armor, 50 pairs of iron armor, and 3,000 each of swords and guns.
