Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

In the original history, when Liangshan attacked Zhujiazhuang three times, Liangshan had already been handed over, and the unprepared Hu Cheng encountered a sudden attack by the lunatic Li Kui.Without a weapon in his hand, he was still able to retreat safely from the famous quick ax of "Black Whirlwind" Li Kui.It must be known that no number of heroes can handle Li Kui's axes, and Hu Cheng's martial arts should not be underestimated.

More importantly, this Hu Cheng also has the ability to lead the army.After the shame of Jingkang, during the battle of Jianyan and Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, this Hu Cheng was able to be the commander of an army, roughly equivalent to the commander or division commander of later generations, and his military talent can be seen.

Hu Cheng, Hu Cheng, sooner or later, you "flying tiger" will fall into the trap of my Ximen official and serve for the great cause of my Ximen Qing official.

Although Ximen Qing didn't respond to Hu Cheng's temptation, he still honestly obeyed his inner call that night, jumped over the wall and entered the courtyard where Hu Sanniang lived, and had an affair with Hu Sanniang.Not being with Sanniang for some days, Ximen's handsome face still misses Sanniang Hu!

That night, another strange "popping" sound came from Hu Sanniang's room.

……

On the second day after the wedding, before leaving Yanggu, Zhu Biao of Zhujiazhuang suddenly proposed to worship the hero Luan Tingyu as his teacher and learn martial arts from him.

Under Ximen Qing's persuasion, Luan Tingyu reluctantly played a punch in front of the three brothers of the Zhu family.Unexpectedly, Zhu Long and Zhu Hu, like Zhu Biao, wanted to worship Luan Tingyu as their teacher after watching it.

Luan Tingyu showed a embarrassed expression. As Ximenqing's new brother-in-law and Ximenbao's head coach, it seemed inappropriate to teach outsiders martial arts.

The three brothers of the Zhu family held Ximen Qing together, and begged Ximen brother to help talk about Xiang.Ximenqing couldn't resist the deep brotherhood, so he persuaded Luan Tingyu to accept the three Zhu brothers as apprentices.

This is all fate!In history, Luan Tingyu was originally Zhujiazhuang's gun and club instructor, but in this life, Ximen Qing, who was transmigrated, took the lead.

Now it can be regarded as repaying a little debt, let Luan Tingyu teach the three brothers well, strengthen Zhujiazhuang's strength, so that they can become an important force against Liangshan.

Of course, the three Zhu brothers have become my brother-in-law's apprentices, so the relationship is naturally closer than before.In the future, when I, the officials of Ximen, need it, how can the three heroes of the Zhu family not come to help me?

Ximen Qing was secretly happy, and turned his approving eyes to Hu Sanniang in the distance.

After Luan Tingyu and Ximenxin got married, they temporarily stayed in their new house in Yanggu County.The heroes of Dulonggang also left the county and set foot on their way home.

Ximen Qing returned to Ximen Fort to start the recruitment and training of villager soldiers and the expansion of the original blacksmith shop into a weapon workshop.

At this time, Ximen Qing knew nothing about how to train soldiers in ancient times.Therefore, Ximen Qing let Hong Zhen, Jiao Ting and others teach the dealers and tenants the art of guns and sticks.After Luan Tingyu, the head coach of the capital, came back from the county, he would teach them to practice battle formation.

Of course, Ximenqing has also read many time travel books, many of which teach ancient soldiers to learn modern queue exercises.What about walking in unison and walking forward? Ximenqing practiced a lot during his military training at the university, and he also saw military parades on TV.Therefore, Ximen Qing is quite proficient in this!

This queue training can greatly improve the organizational obedience and team coordination of soldiers.And these are also very useful on the ancient battlefield.

Therefore, Ximen Qing taught Hong Zhen the method of modern queue training, and asked him to practice it every day.

When discussing with Tang Long how to build a weapon workshop, Tang Long proposed to Ximen Qing that he would visit his cousin Xu Ning in Bianliang, Tokyo, observe Xu Ning's family treasure armor, and imitate it after returning to Yanggu. Several heroes have tailored a pair of good armor.

In addition, Tang Long said that his cousin Xu Ning had a good friend Ling Zhen in Bianliang, Tokyo, who was good at making firearms.Tang Long also wanted to visit Ling Zhen, learn from him the art of making firearms, and then develop according to Ximen Qing's instructions.

After hearing Tang Long's words, Ximen Qing was overjoyed.The "Golden Gunner" Xu Ning and "Thunderbolt" Ling Zhen from Tokyo Bianliang are both rare talents.

"Golden Gunner" Xu Ning not only has a pair of armor at home that can be copied, but he himself is also highly skilled in martial arts and is good at wielding a hook and sickle spear.

In history, when Hu Yanzhuo attacked Liangshan with heavy cavalry with iron armor and chain horses, it caused a lot of damage to Liangshan bandits.

In order to deal with the serial horses, Tang Long offers a plan, Shi Qian steals the armor, and makes Xu Ning into Liangshan.After Xu Ning went up the mountain, he taught the Liangshan bandits to use the hook and sickle spear, which defeated Hu Yanzhuo's serial horse and heavy cavalry.

Therefore, Xu Ning is a rare military talent who can use infantry to fight heavy cavalry.

Ximenqing thinks about the rise of the Jin Kingdom in the future. During the war between Song and Jin, he might face the heavy cavalry regiment of the Jurchen. How can he not make friends with the "Golden Gunner" Xu Ning earlier?

As for the "Booming Thunder" Ling Zhen, he should be the deputy gunner of Tokyo Jiazhanku at this time, known as the number one gunner in the Song Dynasty, and a rare talent for making firearms.

However, because the firearms and weapons in the Song Dynasty were still very crude, they did not actually play a big role in the army, so he was not very popular.What Ling Zhen often does now is to set off a little cannon to let everyone hear the sound.

As a modern person who traveled back, Ximen Qing didn't know the importance of gunpowder weapons.In the era of cold weapons, it was difficult for the infantry of the ancient farming civilization to fight against the barbaric cavalry of the nomads.It was not until the development and popularization of gunpowder weapons, especially the invention of the machine gun, that the tactical advantage of horse-riding nomads over farming peoples was completely ended.

Therefore, Ximen Qingcai instilled many concepts and knowledge of gunpowder weapons into Tang Long, in order to advance the development of gunpowder weapons in China to a certain extent.Only in this way can the Chinese civilization be truly protected from the barbaric destruction of the northern nomadic civilization.

Ximen Qing immediately decided to go to Tokyo with Jiao Ting, Tang Long, and Qiao Yun to make friends and broaden their horizons.

There are two ways to go from Yanggu County, Yunzhou to Bianliang, Tokyo.One is to go south through Liangshanbo and enter Jeju, and then go west along the Guangji River to Bianliang, Tokyo.The other way is to go southwest to Kaidefu-Anlijun-Weizhou-Huaizhou-Mengzhou, and then walk southeast from Biankou of the Yellow River in Mengzhou to Tokyo.

Ximen Qing doesn't want to pass by that Liangshan Po now.

I, a high-ranking Ximen official, is so young, handsome, and imposing. If some pervert on Liangshan who likes to make money goes up the mountain bumps into me and asks me to go up the mountain to be a village owner, that would be no joke.So, let’s go west in the direction of Mengzhou!

Thinking of Mengzhou, Ximenqing's heart moved, as if an old friend was calling affectionately there.

Set off!The new target of Ximen Qing is Mengzhou!

Chapter 60 Revisit Dulonggang

From Yanggu County to Mengzhou Road, you have to go southwest along the official road and pass Dulonggang in front of Dulong Mountain.

After Ximen Qing made up his mind to go to Tokyo, he entrusted Luan Tingyu and others with family matters, took Jiao Ting, Tang Long, Brother Qiao Yun and several servants, and rode away from Ximen Fort on horseback, heading towards Dulonggang .

It was early spring at this time, and the trees along the way were full of lush greenery, and the scenery was pleasant.Ximenqing and his party passed through Xianglinwa happily, crossed Zhujiadian, and finally arrived at Dulonggang.

After arriving at Dulonggang, this time Ximen Qing first went to the Lijiazhuang located in the east, and visited the owner of the Lijiazhuang, "Popping the Sky Eagle" Li Ying.

"Popping Eagle" Li Ying was overjoyed when he saw Ximen Qing, a senior official from Yanggu County, came to visit him in person.

This official Li Yingli has a lot of money and is a real local tyrant.He has no shortage of food and clothing all his life, and a few maids take care of washing and washing together, and he is served by a high-ranking official.

The only thing Li Ying lacked was the compliments from heroes in the world.What he wants most is that all the heroes in the green forest will give him some kind of favor.Gein, Li Ying, the "Fighting Eagle", has the best face in his life.

Ximen Qing is now a very popular person in Yanggu County. After arriving in Dulonggang, he was the first official to visit Li Daguan. All comfortable.

Li Yingfu Du Xing held a banquet in the village and warmly entertained Ximen Qing and his party.

On the second day, when Ximen Qing bid farewell to Li Ying, Li Ying also sent a lot of money to Ximen Qing.Naturally, Ximen Qing was more obedient than respectful, and he accepted everything with a smile.Who made this official Li Ying like to spend money to save face?

After leaving Lijiazhuang, Ximenqing went to Zhujiazhuang again.

Ever since Hu Sanniang fell in love with Ximen Qing, she never went to Zhujiazhuang to look for the three Zhu brothers.The three Zhu brothers were finally able to walk sideways in their own Zhuangzi, and the complexions on the faces of the three of them improved a lot.

Seeing Ximen Qing, the three brothers of the Zhu family bowed their heads and worshiped Ximen Qing, expressing their sincerity around Ximen Qing.

After Ximen Qing entered the village and met Zhu Chaofeng, he had two drinks with the three brothers and was very happy.

After nightfall, Zhu Hu, who was drunk from eating and drinking, showed his true nature again, holding up a wine glass and asking Ximen Qing if he dared to go to the house of the widow Wang at the head of the village to have an affair.

Ximen Qing's eyes widened when he heard the words, and he said, "How can I..." Suddenly, Hu Sanniang appeared in front of Ximen Qing's eyes, showed her muscles and sneered twice at Ximen Qing, interrupting Ximen Qing's bold words.

"How can I... I can't drink enough? Brother Zhu, this wine in your house is really good! Brother, I, I am really drunk. As for the king and the widow of the king, let it go, let it go!" Ximen Qing declined drunkenly. I accepted Zhu Hu's proposal.

Seeing that Ximen Qing really didn't want to go, Zhu Hu had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and let it go tonight.

After a few people drank for a while, Ximen Qing went back to the house to rest on the pretext of being drunk.

Zhu Long and Zhu Hu also staggered back to their room.Only that Zhu Biao was lying on the table, and when everyone left, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up.

Zhu Biao didn't drink much wine today and was not drunk.He left Zhu's Mansion in good spirits, mounted a horse with a torch in hand, and left Zhujiazhuang overnight in a short while.
