The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Yinshan lies across the north, like a natural barrier, shielding the northern grassland behind the mountain. Since ancient times, it has been the natural dividing line between farming areas and nomadic areas. In the mountains, the mountains overlap, wind and sand spread, the gullies are deep, the forests and grasses are dense, and the terrain is complex.

, easy to defend but difficult to attack, you can go east and south, and you can make progress and lose land; you can defend yourself based on dangers and defend yourself. The mountainous areas themselves are crisscrossing areas of agriculture and pastoralism. The middle and western sections are scattered with mountain pastoral grasslands of varying sizes, and they are rich and rich

The dryland pastures are famous natural pastures in the mountains. They have dryland agriculture in the mountain basins with relatively stable yields.

In Coulun Town, on the northern foot of the Yinshan Mountains of Dezhou, Liao Dynasty, it belongs to the Xuete tribe's residence. There is a well-known merchant here, called Guangfengtang. It has been here for almost ten years and operates tea needed by many herders.

, cloth, salt, sugar and other groceries, handicraft workshops include mills, mills, wineries, and established relationships with the chief of the Serte tribe, and leased a large area of ​​their land, part of which was used as the grain and feed base for their workshops, and the rest

He subleases to tenants and becomes a second landlord.

The tenants and tribes here became consumers of Guangfengtang. They cultivated a market here. After their development and growth, their business scope expanded. In addition to agriculture, commerce, industry and animal husbandry, they also involved in the financial field and opened pawn shops.

Issuing money. Farmers sell livestock and fur to Guangfengtang for oil and grain, without having to take cash. They can circulate within a hundred miles of their business with just money. If they have wealth or credit, they can also be mortgaged.

Loan. Now the patriarchs of several major tribes of the Xuete tribe have become his debtors. After the Jurchen invasion, the chiefs simply refused to redeem their land and gave all their land to Guangfengtang. They made their own way out and ran away.

The preparations made Guangfengtang become the actual master here in two years, and the original tribes became his tenants.

Due to the inconvenient transportation in Kulun Town, transportation is all about camels transporting. Guangfengtang organized a huge camel fleet, with 3,000 camels alone. After all, they were outsiders, so in order to ensure their safety, they recruited some Ding Zhuang.

, a guard team of more than 300 people was formed. Recently, the world became more chaotic, and the bandits and scattered soldiers robbed everywhere. In order to protect their land and property, they also invested a large number of 3,000 cavalrymen.

At the same time, a team of the Hedong Army of the Song Dynasty encountered a storm when they crossed the desert while moving the anti-turbid wheel fort from Xiazhou, disappeared into the vast sea of ​​sand without a trace.

Leave a trace...

"General Zhao, it has changed after being separated for many years!" The shopkeeper of Guangfeng Hall ordered people to take the team to the prepared camp. The leader of the general led the troops into the hall, and said withdrew the idle people and others.

"Brother Qiao, don't be polite. Just call me Brother Yong like before!" The leader took off his cloak and threw it on the chair and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, when I came out of the mansion, you were still following the prince everywhere. In the blink of an eye, you, the Tao boy, have become the general who leads the army!" Qiao Kun looked up and down at the leader and said with emotion. Zhao Yong was the same year.

That is, a servant next to the prince, but was trained by the prince to become a general.

"I'm talking about me, weren't you the little manager of the cadre department in the mansion at that time? Every morning, would you hold the account book and let the prince review it? Now you have become a rich man. If the prince hadn't told us to come to you.

.I think you have died long ago!" Zhao Yong patted Qiao Kun's shoulder and said nothing. Qiao Kun was originally a manager in Xiangyi Mansion. He was sent to Liu Song's caravan.

After the New Year, he was ordered by the prince to leave the caravan and stay in Liao Kingdom to build Guangfeng Hall. He married and had children here and never returned to Xiangyi. He had no news for many years, faded out of everyone's sight. Few people could think of the mansion.

There was such a person once.

"Oh, it's not all up to the support of the mansion. Otherwise, how could I support it?" Qiao Kun shook his head and sighed. The business he did in the past few years was all about losing money and gaining publicity. It was just to leave a wealthy impression on people.

, earn some money and use it all for 'public relations'. I have only made a surplus in the past two years, but the situation suddenly changed. The Jurchens came here, "I've been together for many years, and the prince is so good now. I miss you so much!" Greetings

After a few words, Qiao Kun asked about the prince’s recent situation.

"The prince's life is not very easy. After returning to the northwest in May, he has never slept steadily for a while. He took three months from Fengzhou to Lingzhou and went all the way to sort out this mess, more than 100,000 yuan.

The prince needs to worry about food and drink, food and salary of tens of thousands of troops, and training. This year's harvest and accumulation are only enough for the first half of the year. The prince can be said to rack his brains to stabilize the situation. Now he has just freed up some hands and

I was busy regulating the army. I heard that the Jurchens arrived at Xijing Road, so I sent me here again. Before leaving, the prince asked me to tell you that your parents in your family are all good, so that you don’t have to worry about it, and the days when you go home are not there.

It will be too far away!" Zhao Yong said with a wry smile.

"The prince works so hard and still thinks about small family affairs..." Qiao Kun bowed to the south in tears.

"Okay, let's leave the flattery until you see the prince before you shoot it. Let's get some food for me first!" Zhao Yong said with a smile.

"You little brat, you didn't have any good things as soon as you met. Waiting for me to tell someone to do it, why did the prince bring you to me!" Qiao Kun said with a smile and cry, and ordered someone to prepare a banquet, "Brother Yong,

I see how the foreigners and Chinese people in your team are mixed, and there are Khitans and Dangxiang people. They are not from the Zhongyong Army, right?” He sat down again and poured tea for Zhao Yong and said.

"Haha, Brother Qiao is right. Among these three thousand people, only the officers and my personal soldiers are from the loyal and brave army. Han people account for half, and the rest are from the French tribe, and these people, including me, are already in the world.

It's dead. In the future, Brother Qiao can no longer call me my original name in front of outsiders. Now my name is Han Quansheng!" Zhao Yong patted his chest and said.

"What are you all 'dead'?" Qiao Kun said in surprise.

"Yes, we have no names, no home, no past, only legion!" Zhao Yong put away his joke.

In the negotiations with Xixia, Zhao Qiong formed an army of captured Xixia soldiers to intimidate Xixia. He didn't think so much at that time. But later, he remembered that according to the original agreement with the Jin Kingdom, Jin attacked.

In Liao Zhongjing, Song captured the Yanjing area. After the event was completed, Yanjing belonged to Song and gave him another annual monies. However, whoever conquered Xijing would be who would be!

Now the Song Dynasty was dragged down by the Fang La Rebellion and could not fulfill its contract. The Jin Kingdom had already captured Zhongjing. If the troops were not sent at this time, the Jin Kingdom would take the lead. Yunzhou was not important to Hedong and even the Central Plains.

As for this, the Song Dynasty has not yet officially declared war with the Liao Kingdom, and is still a 'brother' country. At this time, he will rashly send troops to attack Yunzhou, which will definitely make the population a reality and will also end up in the name of destroying the alliance. At the same time, he has not completed it yet.

Preparations for large-scale wars.

But now time is not waiting for anyone, and the prelude to the Jin Dynasty's attack on the Jingdao in western Liaoning has begun. However, Zhao Qi cannot send troops to attack Liao in just right, nor can he openly attack the banner of aiding Liao and resisting Jin. After thinking about it, Zhao Qi Qi was the first to do so.

Thinking of the 'volunteer army', 'international column' and the jihadists and mercenaries who are still active in various places, he could secretly send an army into Liao without seeking a great defeat to the Jin Dynasty to occupy Yunzhou, but only seeking to delay Jin.

The army's attack speed delays the demise of the Liao Kingdom, and waits until the day when the Song and Liao countries officially declare war.

Following this idea, Zhao Qi thought of the French Foreign Corps in his previous life. This army was brave and good at fighting and had always been the vanguard of French military interference. Its organizational form and management method were in line with what he wanted, so Zhao Qi decided to form his own.

The 'Foreign Corps', and its basis is the surrendered army that Zhao Yong brought to Xiazhou when he left Lingzhou and returned to Beijing.

After Zhao Yong led his army to Xiazhou, he secretly began to recruit and select volunteers according to the prince's instructions. He was secretly spread from various channels, regardless of his name, nationality, race, past conditions, and generous treatment.

Many people who want to change the status quo and conceal the past. So people keep applying to join, including fugitives, military personnel, gangsters, bandits and scholars of spirit. Most of them have had experience in "fighting".

Zhao Yong selected 10,000 people from it and organized them into a legion. In the volunteer legion, in order to say goodbye to the past, he was loyal to the legion. No matter who it was, he had to change his surname and name and lose his nationality as long as he was hired. Once his identity was changed, he had to wait.

It took only seven years of service to change, and even the Song people were no exception. All the soldiers of the corps became 'blacks' with neither past nor name. The only place where they could accept them was the Legion.

Of course, Zhao Qiong could not give up his leadership over this army. What made people dissatisfied was that the commander of this army without nationality was actually the prince of the Song Dynasty. Of course, only the senior leaders of the army knew about it. While the corps were formed,

The officers who criticized the Loyal and Brave Army also retired due to injuries and secretly joined the army and became commanders at all levels of the army.

After the recruitment was completed, Zhao Yong organized the army into four brigades and a direct column of the army according to the orders of the prince, with 2,000 people and four battalions of each brigade. The organization and troops were like the loyal and brave army. The military pay and weapons were all supported by the prince.

It was said that it was another private army of Zhao Qiong after the Loyal and Brave Army. Subsequently, this army was taken to an oasis in the sand sea for high-intensity closed training and under the name of the newly formed Hedong Prefecture Army.

After half a year of training, the army accepted the first task and accepted Guangfengtang's "hire" to go to Liao Kingdom. A false desert storm completely erased them from the original world and started a new life. Zhao Yong

What he brought was the advance team of this army!
