Chapter 293
The elders of the Begging Yan Department spent a few days plotting how to kill Xiao Qi in one fell swoop and maximize the benefits of their Begging Yan Department.
Several elders of the Qiyan tribe finally decided not to tell Temujin, who was conquering the various tribes of Mongolia and making the final effort to unify Mongolia.
Instead, they selected a group of warriors from the tribe to assassinate Xiao Qi.
The prestige of these clan elders in the Qiyan tribe is still very high. The people of the Qiyan tribe heard that when the clan elders want to select tribal warriors who are willing to fight for the survival of the tribe.
Almost all the men over the age of 15 who stayed in the tribe signed up. These fanatical young people from the begging tribe rushed to sign up and expressed their willingness to sacrifice their lives for the tribe.
For this reason, the clan elders held a special competition among the clan. From the thousands of young adults who signed up, they carefully selected a hundred clansmen who were good at riding, shooting and fighting, especially those who were good at hunting wild animals.
These few people can become clan elders, and they are also a group of extremely smart people in the Qiyan tribe.
These clan elders knew very well that even if the assassination of these 100 people was successful, none of them would be able to come back alive.
For this reason, they made a huge promise to these 100 people. Before the 100 people set off, each family member would get enough food and one cow and ten sheep.
Regardless of whether the assassination of Xiao Qi was successful or not, as long as the warrior died in this operation, his family would get ten cows and one hundred sheep, and the family promised to protect his family and descendants for 20 years.
For these 100 people, the promise made by the elders of the Qiyan tribe is really too big, it can be said to be unprecedented!
The 20 selected warriors of the Qiyan tribe were all excited and crazy. Few of the tribal leaders who followed Temujin to fight everywhere could get such a high reward, not to mention the promise to protect their families for [-] years.
Therefore, even if these hundred people knew that this trip was almost a narrow escape, each one of them was extremely fanatical about this assassination, wishing to leave immediately to carry out this assassination.
However, the clan elder still invited the veteran hunter who is best at assassinating and ambush prey in the clan, and conducted strict training for these 100 people.
In the eyes of the elders of the Qiyan tribe, as long as the hundred elites of the Qiyan tribe who have undergone strict training and are not afraid of life and death because of the great rewards of the tribe are sent, the king of Zhenbei of the Song people will definitely die.
As long as these hundred tribe elites sneak around Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi will not be far from death.
These one hundred tribal elites who have undergone all kinds of ambush and fighting training ambushed Xiao Qi without any precautions. Even if Xiao Qi has three heads and six arms, he cannot escape the fate of certain death.
Several elders of the Qiyan tribe firmly believed that as long as these 100 people can get close to Xiao Qi, even if 90 of them are blocked by Xiao Qi's guards, the remaining ten people can easily decapitate Xiao Qi. Down!
If Wan Yanyong knew these old thoughts of the Qiyan tribe, he would laugh and cry.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't remind the Begging Yan Department.
Because Wan Yanyong has already discovered that he made a fatal mistake, that is, he cultivated a man-eating tiger behind his back.
Before Dajin had only one major enemy in the Song Dynasty in the south, the Mongols and Khitan survivors in the northwest, although they would cause some troubles for Dajin from time to time, Dajin was able to solve the troubles every time.
But now it's different, I was fascinated by Da Song's strength for a while, and even raised an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf behind me.
Today's Dajin has a powerful Dasong Changsheng camp in the south, which makes him restless.
In the north, I was overlooked for a while and cultivated a powerful enemy. I regret it!
Now that those guys in the Begging Yan Department who don't know how powerful Xiao Qi is at all want to take the initiative to provoke Xiao Qi, then it's the best, and it's best for them to lose both sides.
It would be best if both the Song Dynasty and the Mongols fight to the detriment of both sides, and both of them will be seriously injured and dying!
In that case, Wanyan Yong would definitely send troops first without hesitation, and completely wipe out the Qiyan Department.
Although the Song Dynasty army is powerful, fortunately, those troops of the Song Dynasty have been very disciplined over the years, and they will never do anything out of the ordinary when others have not provoked them.
On the contrary, the Dajin Kingdom and Xixia Kingdom, and the Mongolian Beggars who had helped them in their most difficult times, stared at their own Dajin Kingdom and Xixia Kingdom. It was simply an ungrateful face.
If I had known it would be like this, I might as well have shown my friendship to the people of Song Dynasty. Although it would damage my face, it would be better than being disturbed by the perfidious Mongolian beggars behind me now.
Just because he created a huge calamity for himself, Wanyan Yong hated the Mongolian Qiyan tribe even more, and wished that they would disappear from this world immediately.
That's why Wan Yanyong thought that in case both the Great Song Dynasty and the Qiyan tribe were hurt, the Mongolian Qiyan tribe must be wiped out first. It can be seen how much Wanyan Yong hated the Mongolians of the Qiyan tribe.
Only half a year has passed, and among the four allied nations and tribes, three of them have already been separated.
As for Dali in the south, not to mention that the Mongolian Qiyan tribe and the Kingdom of Jin didn't pay much attention to him, even Xixia didn't take Dali seriously.
The reason why they formed an alliance with Dali at the beginning was because they wanted to have more power in the south to contain the Changsheng camp of the Song Dynasty.
They all knew that Dali didn't have much combat power, and they just thought that a country could make up the numbers.
However, being far away from Dali also has the advantage of being far away. Dali doesn't know anything about the dirty things between Dajin Kingdom and Xixia Kingdom and the Mongolian Qiyan Department.
I am still living my dream that I already have several powerful allies, and no one will dare to provoke me easily in the future.
Although Xiao Qi noticed the strange situation around the Great Song Dynasty and had some guesses in his mind, he never thought that Wan Yanyong of the Kingdom of Jin would subsidize the Begging Yan Department under the pressure of the Great Song Dynasty, which resulted in its rise 20 years in advance.
Because these years Xiao Qi’s attention has been on overseas, and on Mongolia, in order to reduce the impact on history, Xiao Qi did not send people there, for fear that too much interference would cause bad changes to East Asia.
He just asked the scouts of the Changsheng Camp to pay more attention to the changes in Xixia, Jin, and Mongolia, as long as any of these two countries was attacked by Mongolia.
Then we know that Mongolia must have risen. At that time, Song Dynasty only needs to take precautions. When Mongolia takes over other places other than Song Dynasty and starts to provoke Song Dynasty, take the opportunity to take over Mongolia and all those territories.
It's a pity that Xiao Qi thought very well, although he didn't think about influencing Mongolia, but because the Song Dynasty is too powerful now, it still indirectly affected the historical trend of Mongolia.
But even if Xiao Qi knew about these changes, he couldn't care about them. He created steam engines, trains, and ships. What could be more thorough than him changing history?
At this time, Ma Shoucheng, who received the military order of King Zhenbei, had handed over everything he was responsible for to Zhang Jiangong and returned to Song Dynasty.
After going to the capital to report his duties to the emperor, Ma Shoucheng ran non-stop to Kaifeng Mansion where Xiao Qi lived, and asked to see Zhenbei King Xiao Qi.
After seeing Ma Shoucheng, Xiao Qi didn't talk nonsense, but took out the map of the entire East Asia that he had drawn, and told Ma Shoucheng that the Great Song Changsheng Camp is now very strong.
In the past, I have been committed to the development of the new guns of the Song Dynasty. Now that the new guns have been successfully manufactured, they will soon be fully equipped with the Changsheng Battalion.
Bringing Ma Shoucheng back this time is only the first step, and Zhang Jiangong will also be transferred back in a few days.
After hearing that Xiao Qi wanted to transfer Zhang Jiangong back, Ma Shoucheng suddenly became excited. This time the prince-in-law is going to do something big!
Not to mention other things, even if the entire Dajin is won now, with the current strength of the Changsheng Battalion of the Song Dynasty, only one person is needed to defend the city.
The son-in-law actually wants Zhang Jiangong to come back, so it doesn't mean that the Song Dynasty is about to fight a war!
Ma Shoucheng hastened to salute: "My son-in-law, tell me what I am going to do now, please rest assured that Ma Shoucheng is absolutely unambiguous and will not delay your plans!"
Seeing Ma Shoucheng guessing that he was going to fight a big battle, Xiao Qi was happy and wanted to tease this guy.
"General Ma, don't think too much, I just let you get acquainted with the new guns of Changsheng Battalion earlier.
This time not only will Zhang Jiangong come back, but Qin Tu Linzhengdu will also be called back. You and the other four have been fighting with this king for many years.
Having established a huge territory for the Great Song Dynasty, this king wants to ask the emperor to confer the title of Marquis on you and the other four.
When the four of you are all here, the king will ask the imperial court to seal you and others. "
Although Ma Shoucheng was happy when he heard that he might be enshrined as a marquis, he was a little disappointed when he learned that he was not going to fight.
Seeing this guy's happy and depressed look, Xiao Qi was very satisfied.
"Don't always think about fighting, you haven't returned to your hometown for a long time, right?
Although the whole family is not short of food and drink, and their lives are going well, their wives and children have already been taken to their side.
But the elders of the clan always have to go back and visit, and people can't say that you have forgotten your roots. "
Ma Shoucheng hurriedly saluted, and said that after a few days the army was settled, he would go back to his hometown to see the neighbors and elders who passed by.
Xiao Qi nodded: "You don't need to go back in a hurry, first send your family to bring some money back to bring some gifts to the neighbors and old friends, after the four of you are sealed, the king will let the four of you take some time off. Go back home and have a look."
Ma Shoucheng took orders from Xiao Qi and returned to the barracks, and began to practice the new musketeer army and the new running army according to the pamphlet Xiao Qi gave him.
Seeing the power of the new mortar after firing, Ma Shoucheng was shocked!
After watching the drill of the new mortar, this guy quickly ran outside Xiao Qi's mansion to ask for a meeting.
When I went in and saw Xiao Qi, this guy knelt down and began to play tricks. He must promise to equip his army with this new type of artillery. This thing is too powerful, it is simply a fetish!
Xiao Qi smiled and asked him: "If you want to master all the artillery by yourself, it's okay, the Changsheng Battalion will have an independent artillery army in the future.
The commander-in-chief is worrying about who to lead, if you want, let you take the lead.
It's just that the artillery army can only attack the enemy from the rear and cannot charge forward. General Ma has thought about it? "
Ma Shoucheng was stunned, he just wanted to grab all these magical gadgets, but he didn't expect his son-in-law to let him make a choice!
If you want to master all the artillery, you can no longer charge forward, and can only fire from the rear to injure the enemy.
For a general like Ma Shoucheng who has grown up fighting his opponent face to face from the very beginning, how can it be considered killing an enemy if he can't kill the enemy with his own hands?
This can't be done!
After that, Xiao Qi talked to Ma Shoucheng about the role of artillery, and told Ma Shoucheng that in the future, every 500 small troops of the Changsheng Battalion of the Great Song Dynasty will have an additional artillery capital.
Ma Shoucheng knew that the mortar at this time had become very light. Three people were responsible for setting up the artillery and dropping bombs, and two were responsible for the logistics of transporting the shells. Basically, a group of five people could completely control one artillery piece.
If there are 100 people in a capital, twenty new artillery pieces will enter a small army, although the number of small troops has increased from 500 to 600.
However, the extra 100 men are definitely comparable to the 500 infantry equipped with new muskets, and even more lethal than the [-] infantry.
Ma Shoucheng was very entangled in his heart. If he became the commander of this artillery army, then Qin Tu, Lin Zheng, Zhang Jiangong and others would definitely be more polite to him when they saw him in the future, because I have a cannon in my hand!
Who wouldn't want extra artillery to support their infantry and cavalry?
At that time, I will become an uncle, and the three of them will no longer dare to wag their tails in front of them!
But it's great to have all the artillery in front of the three of them, but it's really aggrieved not to be able to lead the army to the front and fight neatly.
Such a day is definitely not what Ma Shoucheng thought about. Thinking about the three guys killing in front, but he can only watch from behind, Ma Shoucheng gave up this idea directly.
"My son-in-law, the last general only wants a few more cannons, and doesn't want to command all the cannons. I think the other three generals will like it."
Seeing Ma Shoucheng's face change countless times in an instant, Xiao Qi suppressed a smile and said:
"General Ma, think about it, no one is arguing with you now, if you wait for the three generals to come back, it won't be as easy as it is now.
At that time, if you want to command the artillery again, it depends on whether the other three guards will agree or not! "
Ma Shoucheng shook his head like a drum: "The last general has made up his mind, the son-in-law should leave the next good thing to the other three generals!"
Coming out of Xiao Qi's mansion, Ma Shoucheng hurried back to the camp of Changsheng, not daring to go to chat with Xiao Qi again.
He felt that the son-in-law of his family seemed to intend to entrust him with the task of commanding all the artillery troops.
This will not work.
It is enjoyable to charge and kill recklessly on the battlefield. Although the opponent who can be hit with a cannon in the back is helpless, but how can he charge into the battle by himself and chop the opponent's flesh and blood?
However, Ma Shoucheng was not idle. He carefully studied the pamphlets given to him by his son-in-law every day, and began to conduct rotation training for the 20 Changsheng Battalion soldiers who stayed in the Song Dynasty according to the new method.
Not to mention, Ma Shoucheng liked this new style of warfare more and more after he studied it. How could he not understand that he had new guns and this new style of warfare newly compiled by King Zhenbei.
In the future, the Everlasting Victory Battalion of the Song Dynasty will definitely become a truly invincible and powerful army!
