Chapter 739 Xingzhou before the war
"Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, swear to kill the enemy to death, kill~kill~kill~kill~"
Di Qing looked at the soldiers training on the school field speechlessly, and after a while, he asked Cao Qi beside him: "When did the army start calling such a call?"
"It's all done by junior brothers who have learned martial arts. It is said that after we graduated, martial arts has added many courses of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. As a result, the junior brothers who have been born in recent years are more enthusiastic. Isn't it going to attack Dangxiang soon? All of these people are ready to make contributions." Cao Qi also laughed at this time.
Di Qing went to Nanyue some time ago to destroy Li Chao, and then rushed to Xingzhou immediately. He had just arrived two days ago and now came to inspect the army below to train. Xingzhou was once the old nest of the Dangxiang people, but now it has become the rear of the Song Dynasty's attack on Dangxiang. All 100,000 troops gathered here to train day and night, waiting for the superiors to give orders.
"The credit is on the battlefield, it depends on whether they have the ability to take it." Di Qing couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This time he made great contributions to the Li Dynasty. Although the Li Dynasty is a small country, it is also a contribution to destroying the country. However, he is still too young, so the main general who attacked Dangxiang was Cao Qi's cousin Cao Ya, and Di Qing's old boss. This time Di Qing was responsible for assisting Cao Ya with another veteran Meng Yao. m.
"Don't underestimate our junior brothers. Their conditions are much better than ours. They were assigned to various military positions the year before graduation. It can be said that they all went to the battlefield before graduation. In addition, these people dared to fight and rush, and maybe they could really get a lot of credit on the battlefield!" Cao Qi smiled again immediately.
Just as Di Qing was chatting with Cao Qi, someone suddenly rushed to report: "Report to the two generals, please ask the two to discuss matters!" New 81 Chinese website computer:/
As the main general, Cao Mata's real official position was actually the pacifier of Xingqing Road. When Di Qing and the others heard Cao Mata summoning him to discuss matters, they immediately left quickly because as far as they knew, the army had been prepared and the court might order an attack at any time. Now that the year has passed, the weather is getting warmer day by day. Spring is the most critical and important season for the grassland people. Moreover, after a winter consumption, they don't have much food, so it is the best time for the Song Dynasty to attack.
Di Qing and Cao Qi quickly came to the tutor's office. As soon as they entered the hall, they saw that all the generals at all levels in the army gathered here. When they saw the two of them coming in, they greeted each other. However, Cao Mata had not come yet, so everyone was quite relaxed and chatted casually at this time.
"General Meng, is there news from the court?" Di Qing came to a veteran and asked in a low voice. This veteran was Meng Yao. This man was known for his steady use of military service. This time, because Cao Ya was still a little young, Zhao Zhen arranged for the veteran Meng Yao to assist.
"There is indeed news from the court, but this period is a critical moment before the war. The news from the court comes one after another. I don't know what news comes this time." General Meng replied, stroking his gray beard. Although he and Di Qing were of great age, their relationship was good. On the Yanyun battlefield, the two had fought together, which was considered to have lived and died together. This time, they helped Cao Ya and deepened their friendship.
"If it was ordinary news, the general would not have summoned us all. It seems that it is probably the date when the court is preparing to send troops." Di Qing immediately spoke and analyzed.
"Don't guess randomly. We will know when the general comes out. Speaking of which, you made a contribution to destroying the country before. This contribution is unique in our Song Dynasty!" Meng Yao patted Di Qing on the shoulder and smiled. When he first saw Di Qing, he felt that this young man was quite extraordinary and his future achievements were limitless. Now his guess has come true.
"A mere Li Dynasty is nothing. I heard that there are even a lot of small countries in Nanyang. It is too easy to destroy them. In comparison, Dangxiang and Liao Kingdom can truly be called enemies of our Song Dynasty!" Di Qing replied modestly.
In fact, the attack on Li Dynasty this time was not as easy as Di Qing said. Although the combat effectiveness of the Li Dynasty army was weak, the environment of the Li Dynasty was too harsh, especially the wet and dark jungle, which made them very uncomfortable. Fortunately, they mainly took a boat to attack Shenglong along the Honghe River, and Li Foma was unwilling to abandon the city and flee, which made them encircle and annihilate it in one fell swoop.
However, although the Li Dynasty has been defeated, the various places are still uneasy. However, Chameng immediately expressed his loyalty to the Song Dynasty and actively assisted the Song Dynasty in ruling the Li Dynasty. However, this is nothing to do with Di Qing's business, so he came back so quickly.
"When it comes to Nanyang, I heard that there are gold everywhere and precious spices everywhere. You can bring back a boat of gold by just one trip. Did you think it's true?" At this moment, Cao Qi also came over and asked curiously. Di Qing had just been back for two days, and both of them had their own things to do, so he didn't have time to talk to Di Qing in detail.
"There are gold and spices, but if you say it everywhere, it would be a bit exaggerated. I have seen a fleet of ships returning from Nanyang on the Li Dynasty. I heard from the merchants that although there are many valuable things in Nanyang, there are also cruel natives. In addition, there are risks in Shanghai, so it is very difficult for them to be like merchants." Di Qing told the situation he heard about.
"How cruel can the natives be? No matter how cruel they are, they are not as cruel as the Dangxiang people and the Khitan people. There are many dangers at sea, but they are not insurmountable. If I have the chance in the future, I want to go to Nanyang to see it!" Cao Qi also showed a very interested expression at this time.
"After you say this, the old man, I am all moved. At my age, I may not be able to stay in the army for a few years. If I have the chance in the future, I would rather go to Nanyang. It would be even better if I could earn some money for my children and grandchildren." General Meng also said with interest at this time.
His family has a great career, with more than a dozen sons alone, and even dozens or hundreds of grandchildren. It is a bit difficult for such a family to support him by relying on his salary, so he is very interested in making money.
"General Meng, if you really have an idea about Nanyang, I will introduce you to a few friends in the navy. They are more familiar with the sea and know a lot of maritime merchants. You can find a few reliable maritime merchants to invest some money. I heard that because of the high risk at sea, maritime merchants are also very willing to let others invest money in order to share the risks." Di Qing smiled again at this time.
