Chapter 102
Xiao Qi became the Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition, and the family suddenly became lively.
Many descendants of the founding fathers of the past sent their children to the Marquis Mansion who had no hope of succeeding their ancestors and inheriting the title.
I hope Xiao Qi can lead them to make new achievements, so as to stop the downward trend of hereditary titles over several generations.
It would be better to make great contributions and let their family add another title to the existing hereditary title.
Xiao Qi understands the thoughts of these descendants of martial arts very well. After all, the ancestors of these people were all heroes in the founding of the Song Dynasty, and their descendants do not want to insult the prestige of their ancestors.
However, Xiao Qi didn't leave all the people behind. He told these people directly that the reason why his Ever Victory Camp was able to win the battle.
It is because everyone is brave and fearless of death, and the casualties in each battle will not be small, so those who are alone in the family will not be accepted, and those who are not brave enough and not skilled in martial arts will not be accepted.
And he also declared to these veterans that even if these children entered the Changsheng Battalion, no matter what their original official positions were, they must first serve as deputy positions in the army.
In the future, if they pass the assessment, they will be given the full-time job, otherwise they will just be doing little work in the sub-job.
Those who didn't have real skills and wanted to follow along with some achievements were brushed off after several strict assessments.
On the contrary, some concubine children from families who were not valued at first and had no possibility of inheriting the title were selected.
Those who failed in the martial arts came to Xiao Qi one after another, hoping to ask Xiao Qi to accommodate him so that his children could go out with the army.
Xiao Qi had no choice but to tell them that he also wanted them to make contributions again, but they failed the assessment.
If those who fail the test are really taken to the battlefield, they will either die in battle or be beheaded for cowardice. Neither of these is better than leaving them at home.
Xiao Qi didn't talk about death, saying that his Northern Expedition would not be completed in a short while.
If these people really want to serve the country, they can practice martial arts hard at home, and I will test them in the future, and take them away if they pass.
These are all martial arts, and I understand that what Xiao Qi said is true, it would be embarrassing not to be selected now, but if they were beheaded on the battlefield, then their family would be completely ruined.
After three days of preparation, Xiao Qi led the Changsheng Battalion, which had become 7000 people, as well as the 1 selected imperial troops, and [-] or so selected young generals, totaling [-] people, and headed north.
Zhao Shen personally brought all the civil and military officials to see his son-in-law off. Before leaving, he often warned Xiao Qi not to advance rashly and not to lose his life due to carelessness.
Xiao Qi understood that Zhao Shenyi was afraid that if he was defeated this time, Da Song would no longer be able to compete against the Jinren.
The second is that he is afraid that if he dies, the daughter of the old Zhao family will become a widow.
Xiao Qi thanked her, saying that she would definitely act carefully, while slandering in her heart: Needless to say, brother's house and daughter-in-law are all completely new!You must not die so early!
For this expedition, Xiao Qi put on the set of top-level armor that he was rewarded for the task of building a new saber last time.
This set of armor is different from the general chain mail of the Song Dynasty. The chain mail of this era is the front and rear breastplates, and the other parts are fish scales.
Xiao Qi's suit of armor is silver-white as a whole, the torso is plate armor, and the remaining arms and leggings are the battle skirt, which is scale armor that can not restrict the movement too much.
When Xiao Qi first got this set of armor, he complained that the system used stainless steel to make him useless things in the set.
However, the system told him that this set of armor was indeed made of stainless steel alloy. It wasn't too bulky to wear, but it was very defensive. It was basically impossible for weapons of this era to penetrate the torso plate armor.
As for the relatively thin scales on the limbs, ordinary swords and guns cannot break through the defense.
But if you watch someone hit your limbs with a big ax or a sledgehammer, and you insist on not moving, then there is nothing you can do.
Xiao Qi's suit of armor also amazed all the officials who came to see him off, as well as the people of Lin'an City.
All the officials secretly slandered: Emperor Zhao Shen was eccentric and made such a good armor for his son-in-law.
Only Zhao Shen secretly sighed in his heart: this Xiao Qi's master is really powerful, he got a set of invincible armor for his apprentice so quickly!
It should be said that the Southern Song Dynasty had already shown the abundance of the land of fish and rice at this time. There were nearly [-] carts just for transporting their luggage in this expedition.
It pulled the medium-sized catapult parts that Xiao Qi ordered to build, gunpowder clay pots and many other strategic materials that Xiao Qi had always valued most, and they set off to the north in a mighty way.
Less than three days after Xiao Qi's [-] troops set out, Lin'an City received an urgent dispatch from Chuzhou City [-] miles north.
The victory report stated that the Marquis of Zhenbei had previously judged that the Jin mission had bad intentions and had already ordered Chuzhou City and Chuzhou City in the north to prepare for war.
After learning of the changes in the capital, the Song army in Chuzhou City immediately followed the deployment of Zhenbeihou and raided Haozhou. The panicked Jin soldiers were beaten and discarded their helmets and armor, leaving thousands of dead bodies, and the rest had fled back to Huaishui. north shore.
So far, south of the Huai River, there are no more soldiers of the Jin Dynasty!
This good news reassured Zhao Gou and Zhao Shen, who had been anxious all the time.
Zhao Gou let out a long breath, boasting that his grandson-in-law is both martial arts and resourceful, and pulled Zhao Shen together to reward Yongjia and his cheap daughter Zhang Xiu.
That day, several carts were pulled from the imperial palace to Zhenbeihou's mansion, and the two marquises were rewarded with countless rare silks and satins at once.
This made Zhang Xiu, a small money fan, so happy that he led Yongjia to the palace with a cart of good wine to honor his cheap grandfather and father.
Not to mention, Zhao Gou, who was eating, drinking and having fun in the palace all day long, liked some wine very much, so he directly ordered that all the wine in the palace will be purchased from the two princesses' homes.
This gave Zhang Xiu another surprise. Grandpa called it sweet.
Yongjia respected Zhang Xiu even more because of the fact that Zhang Xiu took the initiative to kill the Jin envoy for her last time. Zhang Xiu's words were more effective than his father Zhao Shen's words.
And because I practiced the "Evil Repelling Sword Manual" with Zhang Xiu, my body is obviously much better than before, and I am much more lively.
Seeing this situation in the eyes of Zhao Gou and Zhao Shen, of course they were overjoyed, and bluntly said that these two girls can come to the palace to play whenever they have nothing to do.
Not to mention the originally weak Yongjia, being led by Zhang Xiu not only became more active day by day, he even learned how to climb trees and dig out bird nests from Zhang Xiu, leaving Zhao Shen and Zhao Gou speechless.
Xiao Qi led an army of 1 people with several thousand carts and stationed in Chuzhou City seven days later. The soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion in the north, which had grown to 10 people, immediately cheered.
Because they had received the news a long time ago, this time Xiao Qi became the Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition!
This means that this is about to start a real fight with the gold people. Those golden people who touch the corpses will come again to receive rewards.
The [-] new recruits who joined the Changsheng Battalion have long been told by the [-] to [-] veterans that their pockets have skyrocketed after each war, which has made these recruits greedy for a long time.
I also heard how the Marquis of Zhenbei gave preferential treatment to the dead and disabled soldiers, and I was very much looking forward to following Xiao Qi in the battle to kill the golden soldiers. For this reason, they were trained strictly by those old Changsheng battalion soldiers for half a year. a complaint.
Now that he finally has the opportunity to go to the battlefield, can he not be happy, Xiao Qi sees all these soldiers smiling happily in Chuzhou City.
I couldn't help muttering in my heart: Don't these guys know that people will die in war?Everyone is so happy, I don't know what they think.
However, Xiao Qi would not foolishly pour cold water on his soldiers whose morale was high. After he came back, he immediately sent an order to Chuzhou and the new generals who occupied Haozhou to arrange the defense of the city and immediately come to Chuzhou City for a meeting.
After all the people arrived, Xiao Qi looked at the over 40 generals standing in the big tent, feeling in his heart that he was only a young general who could lead 500 people before.
Any one of the dozens of subordinates in this big tent is already a general who can command an army of 500 people.
After a moment of emotion, Xiao Qi stopped thinking about the previous things, read out the imperial decree to everyone, and re-arranged new official positions for these generals.
Of course, they are all promoted. What is more morale-boosting than mobilizing before the war!
Xiao Qi also told them that in this Northern Expedition, which general's subordinates were not afraid of death and completed the military orders accurately according to the general's orders. Xiao Qi gave this general the privilege of asking for credit for his subordinates first.
These generals are in high spirits right away!
The most important thing for an officer to be able to bring his subordinates back is to be able to fight for the best treatment for them!
These generals secretly prepared their belly drafts, and when they went back, they told their subordinates that as long as they worked hard, the promotion and rewards this time would definitely not be a problem!
