Chapter 122 is the same It is certainly not a normal event for a team of 5,000 people to wander around the northern side of the Tianshan Mountains.
In particular, there are more than 3,000 heavily armed soldiers among these 5,000 people, which is not a simple matter.
The chaos in the north of the Tianshan Mountains is actually a buffer zone deliberately created by Tie Xinyuan and Qarakhan.
This kind of buffer zone is a very separate zone for both emperors who need time to consolidate their own turf.
If one side upsets the balance, then the other side will intervene, and this is what is bound to happen.
With this in mind, Tie Xinyuan left the wolf's den and finally came to Hami City, where he wanted to see what his army had been trained by Ah Da, Meng Yuanzhi, and the officers from the Great Song Dynasty.
Today, military spending has accounted for about sixty percent of the total expenditure of the Hami Kingdom, not counting the proceeds from the sale of the agate that Meng Yuanzhi himself sent people to get from the agate beach.
The country was just beginning, and the Hami country was surrounded by wolves, Tie Xinyuan wanted a strong army, Ouyang Xiu understood it very well, so it was not good to say much about military spending.
Tie Xinyuan was actually a little afraid of seeing Ah Da and Ah Er, since he recalled them from Tianshan City to Hami City to be in charge of military training, his treasury had collapsed at a rapid speed.
The gold that the Golden Valley got now has a hundred catties left, if it weren't for Ouyang Xiu angrily scolding Ah Da and them, they wouldn't even leave this foundation to Tie Xinyuan.
The cold wind howled in Meng Yuanzhi's big tent, and a spear came and went in the big tent, and the spear with cold light kept passing by Leng Ping and He Yuanwu's side, so that Leng Ping's hair flew with the air flow brought up by the spear.
Finally, when his martial idiot Shangguan stopped the spear in his hand, Leng Ping gently wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "I don't know what you think about the mercenaries leaving the Tianshan Mountain?"
” Meng Yuanzhi wiped the non-existent sweat on his face with a towel and said lightly: "Fighting a war is our business, but we must ask Mr.
Ouyang's opinion when the army is mobilized."
It's easy for us to send troops, but the consequences of sending troops need to be assessed by their group. ” He Yuanwu frowned and said, "In this way, we have to be subject to those big turbans?
In the Great Song Dynasty, is it like this, can you come to Hami, and you can't escape the fate of being suppressed?
” Meng Yuanzhi frowned and looked at He Yuanwu and said, "Soldiers don't interfere in politics!"
This is Hami's iron law, He Yuanwu, I don't want to hear such words again. ” Leng Ping pulled He Yuanwu, who was a little anxious, and said straight to Meng Yuan: "This time the mercenaries went out of Tianshan Mountain to escort the caravan back to the river, and there are also many merchants from Qarakhanid, Seljuk, and the farthest from Tianzhu Mountain, so they can't get involved with the invasion of the army, right?"
” Meng Yuanzhi nodded and said: "I have already reported to the king, if the king thinks that there is no problem, you can do it, if you don't allow it, forget about it."
Since the two of you have taken the Yulu of the Hami Kingdom, you will have to work the king's affairs, and you will have to make a cut with the affairs of Shangjia.
Your luck is good, Shangguan is me, if it falls into the hands of Ah Da and them, I don't dare to think about your fate. ” Leng Ping and He Yuanwu glanced at each other and said goodbye and went out.
He Yuanwu took out a wine bottle and poured a sip of wine and said, "It's very boring." ” Leng Ping knew what he was talking about, glanced at He Yuanwu and said, "Do you regret joining the Hami army in the first place?"
” "Ten taels of silver in a month......"
"I remember that you were so excited about these ten taels of silver that you couldn't even sleep well."
"One time, another."
Leng Ping glanced at He Yuanwu seriously and said, "You can quit, King Hami didn't lock you in the army."
Lao He, you and my brother don't make it clear that you are brothers, if you don't like the military, you can leave.
If you want the glory and status of the army, and you want the benefits of a mercenary, I don't think there is such a good thing in this world. ” He Yuanwu saw that there was a person from the Western Regions who was rubbing a leather rope not far away, so he said in a low voice: "Lao Tzu was also the capital eunuch of the first army, and he had 1,600 ...... under his command."
Leng Ping snorted and said, "Shut up!"
Do you want to kill all of us?
Do you think this is still the Great Song Dynasty?
I won't talk about what you did in Yongzhou, everyone is about the same, since you came to Hami, people didn't treat us badly, we will work hard for others, and good men don't say anything regretful. ” He Yuanwu laughed dryly and said, "I'm just talking about it casually." ” Leng Ping pointed to the soldiers who were training in the barracks and said, "To put it bluntly, our group of people are begging for food under the hands of King Hami.
Without the support of King Hami, do you think the mercenaries would be able to stand?
I know that the new Iron Four has taken your power and made you feel uncomfortable, and he is the henchman of King Hami, so what if you swallow this breath?
Do you have less anger in Da Song?
If you can endure it in the Great Song Dynasty, why can't you bear it in Hami?
” He Yuanwu gritted his teeth and said, "Since they are all in the army, why are we only allowed to lead mercenaries and not those new troops?"
The old brother in the mercenary army was transferred by the dumb man called Eggless, and he stuffed me with so many Tanguts and Qingtang people, this is no longer taking my power, this is asking for my life. ” Leng Ping said incomprehensibly: "Lao He, the mercenaries were recruited by King Hami, and the military salary was also given by King Hami, in this case, how did the mercenaries become your private?"
” He Yuanwu waved his hand irritably and said: "My brother is my person, you like to lower your eyebrows and go small, I can't stand it." ” After speaking, he strode out of the barracks and went straight to the residence in Hami City, Leng Ping called him several times, but when he couldn't get an answer, he had to return to his army.
After the people of the Western Regions finished rubbing their leather ropes, they straddled the long rope on their shoulders and entered Meng Yuanzhi's big tent.
Meng Yuan took the leather rope and pulled it vigorously with both arms, and found that the leather rope was not only elastic, but also very strong, patted the shoulder of the Western Regions and said, "Your craftsmanship is still as good as ever." ” The people of the Western Regions took off their fur hats, revealing a huge bald head, and took a sip of the water in Meng Yuanzhi's teapot: "He Yuanwu can't stay." ” Meng Yuan straightened his way around the leather rope and said, "It's not just him, all disasters can't be left?"
Tie Si has already told me several times, saying that he is working against the king and wants me to clean up as soon as possible.
It was not easy for me to read that he had come all the way to the Western Regions, and the documents for disposing of him were all pressed down by me, why, what did this person say?
” Tie Sanbai patted his big bald head and said, "He said that the king's is not."
Since you can't do it, I'll come!

“ Meng Yuan smiled and said, "I can't do anything, I'm just worried that doing it now will make the rest of the people's hearts uneasy."
It's okay, he can't make big waves. ” Tie Sanbai nodded and said, "Since you have an idea, I can rest assured, the king will come to the military camp tonight, and I must be sure that this place is absolutely safe." ” Meng Yuan smiled and said: "If he comes, he will not live in the mercenary camp, he will only live in the new army camp, and there is no problem in terms of safety." ” Tie Sanbai smiled and said, "Once our disciples are trained, mercenaries can really only be mercenaries. ” Meng Yuan smiled and said, "It's still very useful now." ” With that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
Tie Xinyuan really arrived in Hami City in the afternoon, and the first person he met was Ouyang Xiu, who had come to Hami City five days before him.
Accompanied by Ouyang Xiu, he walked a long way along the city wall of Hami, although he walked on horseback, it still took an hour to complete the huge city wall of Hami City.
Before coming to Wangjing Tower, Tie Xinyuan patted the thick beams and pillars on the arrow tower and said: "To achieve such a strong city in one year, I'm afraid only I, Hami, can do it." ” Ouyang Xiu sighed and said: "Regardless of labor, regardless of national funds, more than 50,000 people rush to work day and night, 100,000 mules and horses are tired and half of Thailand is killed, and there is gunpowder to open mountains and break stones, and 10,000 catties of arm strength pull out thousands of catties to help, what's so strange?"
” With anger in his words, Tie Xinyuan smiled and said, "The Prime Minister is worried about more and more lawless mercenaries?
” Ouyang Xiu looked at Tie Xinyuan and said, "Hami City has had a total of one hundred and seventy-seven murders this winter, and eighty percent of them have had an affair with mercenaries, what does the king think?"
” Tie Xinyuan smiled: "It's already beyond my expectations, there are 230,000 people living in this city, and less than 200 people died in one winter, I really can't ask for too much." ” Ouyang Xiu sighed and said: "From the emperor's point of view, a group of newly recovered people and some meritorious people, honorable people and mercenaries, merchants live in a city, and one hundred and seventy-seven people died without food and clothing, it is indeed a rare achievement, and Peng Li, the lord of Hami City, is indeed a meritorious achievement.
But from the perspective of the old man, the people are good, even if there are unruly people, naturalization is a matter of time.
However, mercenaries have become a cancer in the city, with 177 murders, thousands of wounds, and no less than 500 cases of weathering, all related to mercenaries.
Moreover, most of the cases were related to Song mercenaries who considered themselves superior.
What should I do with the king?
” Tie Xinyuan rubbed his frozen red nose and said, "So many of them have been taken down by the government?"
” Ouyang Xiu nodded and said: "With the use of three hundred irons, there are still some who are covered by officers, and they can't enter the barracks quickly." ” Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said: "You can't kill, if you kill too much, it will not be conducive to recruiting displaced people from the Great Song Dynasty in the future."
In any case, the proportion of Song people here is too small. ” "If the black sheep are not eliminated, it is not enough for the people to be angry."
"Eighty years of the spine cane to see the after-effects!"
Ouyang Xiu was furious and said, "This is unfair to the dead people!
” Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "It's very difficult to want absolute fairness in this world, so let's do it, in front of everyone, eighty canes, and then send out the Golden Valley and Agate Beach to do hard labor, what does Xiangguo think?"
” Ouyang Xiu took a long breath and said: "In the eyes of the old man, all the people in the golden book, regardless of barbarians, Song people, and Han people, are all the people of my Hami country.
It should be treated equally. ”
