39 Jing Yan gave Jingjing a personal soldier team, and Li Bing's troops lost face
Li Jingjing said angrily: "The soldiers in the barracks are all paid by the imperial court. I am the princess of the protectorate, and according to the rules of the court, I can prepare pro-soldiers, and the salary of pro-soldiers is borne by the court. You can't make your own soldiers. ”
Li Yunfei and He Jiye immediately stepped forward to hug He Jingyan's thigh.
Li Yunfei tilted his little head and begged: "Brother Yan, help us, give us thirty soldiers with two military horses." ”
He Jiye jumped on his feet at the same time and said, "Brother Yan is the best, help us." ”
Li Jingjing's beautiful eyes shot out and glared at the two little brothers, and then shook his head with He Jingyan, and said, "Don't help, don't get used to them!" ”
He Jingyan nodded with a smile and hugged the two little guys with aggrieved faces.
The three brothers of the Li family drooped their heads like deflated balls and followed He Jingyan to the vast campus of the barracks.
I saw 450 soldiers with a strong anger standing in 45 rows, with 10 people in each row, neatly and mightily.
Each of them was dressed in new armor, and wore short swords, spears, bows, quivers full of iron arrows, and two strong horses by his side.
All the soldiers knelt down and shouted in unison: "Meet the princess of the protector!" "Resounding in the sky.
Li Jingjing's blood boiled, and she shouted: "Flat!" ”
Lu Daoming ordered all the soldiers to get on their horses and run around the school field.
Four hundred and fifty men got on the military horses and galloped twice, and actually performed an extremely thrilling equestrian trick on horseback, and then sat on horseback and drew their bows to shoot arrows at a target 20 zhang away from the school field, and hit the target with 100 shots.
Such extraordinary riding skills and superb archery skills won the warm applause and respectful applause of the four members of the Li family.
"I'm going to be a soldier in the Tiger Ben Army." "I'm going to be like this when I grow up." The two little guys turned their palms red with excitement.
Li Yunxiao's eyes were envious, and he said excitedly: "The Tiger Ben Army is worthy of its name!" ”
Li Jingjing's heart was full of joy, and she immediately took out four pieces of paper with weapons and military horse armor from her sleeve and handed them to He Jingyan, and said with a smile: "Let's see if it's useful?" ”
He Jingyan lowered his head and looked at them one by one, the more he looked at them, the more solemn his face became, he carefully folded it and turned around and put it in his underwear, and said in a low voice: "My master has seen it?" ”
"Who's going to show him?" Li Jingjing pouted and shook her head, and specially instructed: "Don't tell my grandfather!" ”
The weapons and military horse armor on the four drawings are from the cold weapon era of her previous life.
It took her three full months of memories in the Aphrodisiac House to draw them.
Originally, she wanted to give it to Li Bing, grateful for helping her prepare the pro-soldier team, but since Li Bing handed over the matter to He Jingyan, she gave it to He Jingyan.
"I can't hide this from my master left and right." He Jingyan recalled the past of a few years ago when he was an old man and a small man in Tanzhou, and couldn't help laughing, and Ha Lu and Ha Da Lu laughed a few times.
He didn't know that Lu Dao had laughed many times in the serious school field this time.
Li Jingjing said with a smile: "It is a day to be able to hide it." ”
Lu Daoming ordered 450 soldiers to stand back in place and carry out a simple handover ceremony.
The soldiers drew their short swords and cut their fingers, and the skin dripped blood, and they raised their heads to the sky and shouted loudly, "We swear allegiance to the princess who protects the country, and the violators will be thundered and struck by the sky, and they will not die well!" ”
The sun-filled voice of the men in the hot-blooded army echoed in the air, deafening.
Li Jingjing immediately asked Lu Daoming to announce that the pro-soldiers would remove the imperial court's Yulu, and she would pay for another monthly silver to the soldiers.
The imperial court stipulated that soldiers in front-line battlefields received twice as much as in non-war-fighting areas.
The 450 soldiers were paid nearly 2,000 taels of silver for a month, nearly 30,000 taels of silver for a year, and 100,000 taels of silver for three years, not counting the food for three meals a day, clothes for four seasons, wear and tear of weapons, and raising war horses.
Raising an army is a matter of great money, especially for a strong army, and the money spent every year is like flowing water.
It is rumored that the Li family is very poor, and Li Jingjing is a great pharmacist, but she does not collect money for medical treatment, and she is not rich.
The soldiers were willing to be Li Jingjing's personal soldiers, because they felt that they had used her medicine for free to fight in the north, and they had the intention of returning the favor, and they never thought that they would be able to take double as much if they followed her.
They listened to Li Jingjing's rich and arrogant tone, they didn't look like they were poor at all, and they were very shocked in their hearts.
I don't know who was excited and shouted loudly with all his might: "Thank you princess for the reward!" The rest of the soldiers shouted excitedly, "Thank you for your kindness." ”
Lu Daoming patted a big man and a stout soldier standing beside him, his tone was envious, and he smiled: "You kid is really lucky, you become the princess's personal soldier, and you get the same amount of money every month as when you fought in the north." ”
The big man smiled happily, the horizontal meat on his face swayed, and he said proudly: "I made it with real skills." ”
Lu Daoming scolded loudly: "A group of unproductive people, hearing that there is money, the shouts are louder than just now, it's really embarrassing." ”
The embarrassed silly music of the soldiers. The three brothers Li Yunxiao followed and laughed, without a little young master's arrogance.
He Jingyanjun coughed dryly, raised his right hand and put it down, and all the soldiers immediately stopped as if they were facing a great enemy.
Lu Daoming walked up to He Jingyan and whispered a few words.
He Jingyan said solemnly: "You follow the princess of the country, except for the rewards of the imperial court, without her permission, you are not allowed to accept anyone's money, let alone do evil under her banner, if you violate the military law!" ”
He Jingyan has a very good set of governing the army, and the military discipline of the Tiger Ben Army is like the family rules of the Li family, which is notoriously strict in the Ding Dynasty, but it is not easy for He Jingyan to sympathize with the hard work of the soldiers, and the foreign wealth obtained by the Tiger Ben Army is also the most in the whole army.
The Huben army fought the Xiongnu in the north, and it was always after victory that everything that could be turned into silver money was collected.
He Jingyan eats meat, and every soldier of the Tiger Ben Army can at least drink soup.
Take the battle to occupy the royal capital of the Xiongnu Dynasty as an example, the royal capital has a history of thousands of years, and the Xiongnu robbed the Han people in the north for hundreds of years.
The palace has a mountain of antiques and famous paintings, countless gold and silver treasures, the major families in the royal capital are unspeakably rich, and there are many valuable items in the mansions of the general rich and noble, and even the common people have a certain amount of silver in their homes.
Li Bing ordered the army to follow the example of the Huns, take everything that could be taken, burn what could not be taken, and not even leave a single hair for the Huns.
Ding Chao took the lion's share, followed by Li Bing and his hundreds of fine works, and then He Jingyan and the Benhu Army.
All the soldiers of the Huben Army who went to the capital of the Xiongnu king, ordinary soldiers got at least 1,000 taels of silver, and low-ranking officers got more than 10,000 taels of silver.
He Jingyan was generous in terms of money, very strict in discipline, and extremely prestigious, and the soldiers served his words as if they were gods.
Without hesitation, the soldiers replied, "Yes." ”
He Jingyan shouted: "Chen Zhong! ”
A burly officer with a square face and a pair of leopard eyes ran into the ranks, knelt down and said, "Not here." ”
Li Jingjing and Li Yunxiao saw that this person was Chen Laoqi, who had lived with Hong Laosan in the Li family in Qujia Village for some days, and it turned out that his big name was Chen Zhong.
Li Yunxiao whispered: "Uncle Chen, I'm Xiao Lingzi, do you still recognize me?" ”
Chen Laoqi quickly glanced up, then lowered his head and said, "Lord Shizi, I don't recognize you." ”
Li Yunxiao smiled with his two little brothers: "Uncle Chen's martial arts are excellent, and he once taught me. You weren't born when he was in our house. ”
He Jingyan said cautiously: "Princess, Chen Zhong is the deputy captain of Zhaowu under the sixth grade, and he can be the deputy captain of the pro-soldier team." ”
Li Jingjing nodded and said, "Okay." ”
The captain of her personal soldiers has been selected, and it is Qu Yu's husband Li Bei.
Li Bei is Li Bing's confidant, his martial arts are very strong, he has been a meticulous worker in the north for many years, he is brave and strategic, and he is a rare talent.
She was going to ask Li Bing for Li Bei in a few days, and she had to give it if she didn't give it.
"I will not thank the prince for recommending it, but the princess appreciates it." Chen Lao Qibao's eyes shot a grateful gaze, knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, and returned to the team.
Chen Laoqi is forty-one years old this year, and unlike Hong Laosan, he was born in the green forest.
His grandfather used to be one of the top three figures in the Northland Green Forest, and he drove a big dart game with his seven sons, and he was very famous.
Later, the Hun army occupied the north, and his grandfather was chivalrous and was found and killed by the Hun army when he escorted two famous men to escape, and the people of the big dart bureau were also slaughtered.
Chen Laoqi's biological mother was humiliated and killed by the Hun soldiers, and his two young brothers died in front of his eyes, and he vowed to kill a hundred Hun soldiers to avenge his hatred.
Later, he fled to Chang'an to enlist in the army, and entered the Tiger Ben Army because of his strong martial arts and archery skills.
Now there are more than 100 Xiongnu soldiers who have ended their lives in his hands, and his wish has been fulfilled, and he can leave the Huben Army like Hong Laosan and follow the people of the Li family.
He originally wanted to follow Li Yunqing, but now he is with Li Jingjing, and he is also very happy, and this time he has become the deputy captain of the pro-soldier team, and his official position is just around the corner.
Lu Daoming said loudly again: "The princess entrusted the prince to set aside a barracks for you to live in, and from tomorrow the princess will give you money to set up a separate stove, and the per capita food will be one penny a day per person." ”
One penny of silver is a hundred copper plates, which is forty more than the average food of the Tiger Ben Army is sixty copper plates per person a day.
The soldiers cheered again, and knelt down to see Li Jingjing and the three brothers of the Li family leave in the voice of Lu Daoming scolding.
Li Yunfei reluctantly turned around three times and said excitedly: "The military camp is really lively. I really want to be a soldier and stay with them. ”
The cold wind blew He Jiye's face painfully, and said, "We want to be soldiers, but my mother may not allow it." ”
Li Yunxiao hugged the two little brothers and said with a smile: "The eldest brother is the general of the Tiger Ben Army." The eldest brother is better than all of them. ”
Li Yunfei shouted: "The wind is blowing, let's run to the carriage!" ”
Li Yunxiao turned his head and glanced at Li Jingjing, who was walking side by side with He Jingyan and walking very slowly, and said, "No." I'm going to wait for my sister. ”
Li Yunfei put his arms around Li Yunxiao's neck and said coquettishly: "There is a military camp in front, is the second brother holding us and running there under the wall to wait for my sister?" ”
"Jing Niang, fifty female soldiers will be handed over to you later." He Jingyan saw that Li Jingjing's beautiful face was blown red by the wind and always had a smile as bright as the warm sunshine of winter, and felt that the hard work of these days was worth it for a while.
Li Jingjing was embarrassed to bow her head by He Jingyan's blazing gaze, and said softly: "Okay." Thank you for doing this for me. ”
He Jingyan saw that Li Jingjing was rarely shy, and he was extremely happy in his heart, his eyes shot out, and he smiled: "It's just a gesture." ”
Unexpectedly, Li Jingjing raised her head, her face was no longer shy, and she joked in a low voice: "Brother Yan, this is what you said, then you can help Xiao Yanzi and my two younger brothers to build a team of 500 people each, with the same configuration as this one, each of them is two first-class military horses." ”
He Jingyan looked at Li Jingjing fixedly, and said seriously: "As long as you agree, I will be able to do it." ”
Li Jingjing was embarrassed by He Jingyan's two extremely sincere words, her heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, she glanced at him, and said, "I'm joking with you." ”
He Jingyan asked, "How about I give each of them five guards?" ”
Five hundred is a hundred times worse than five.
Li Jingjing smiled secretly in her heart, and said coquettishly: "You will spoil the three of them like this." ”
Seeing that Li Jingjing acquiesced, He Jingyan's voice became softer, and said, "I will order to go down and immediately select fifteen people and send them to your mansion at the latest." ”
Li Jingjing shouted towards Li Yunxiao's back: "You three come over and Brother Xie Yan." ”
Li Yunxiao was very happy, and invited He Jingyan to have dinner in a famous restaurant in Chang'an for lunch.
Li Jingjing was sandwiched between the three brothers of the Li family, sat across from He Jingyan, toasted him with a glass of wine during the banquet, and promised to give his Hu Benjun free daily medicines every quarter, and let Dr. Liu have a free consultation once for free.
He Jingyan was very happy, and in the afternoon he took the drawings to the palace to show He Dong.
He Dong was a military maniac, so he directly asked He Jingyan to hand over the drawings to the Ministry of War, and ordered the Ministry of War to quickly produce new military items according to the drawings.
There was something good in the Ministry of War, and Shang Shengshan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, spoke in a louder voice than usual, and the old fox Deng Jing immediately saw the clue and invited Li Bing to go to the Ministry of War together.
That afternoon, Li Bing came back from the military department with a straight face, sent someone to call Li Jingjing to the study, looked at his granddaughter, who had grown to his shoulders, and suddenly slapped the table sharply, and came to preemptively.
Li Jingjing had been waiting for Li Bing for a long time, otherwise how could she ask him for someone.
Li Bing shouted: "Okay, you Jing Niang, you didn't give me a look at the drawings of the new military supplies, and gave them directly to Jingyan, which caused me to lose a lot of face in the military department today." You've got to make it up to me! ”
He spat at the military department, boasted about four new military supplies, and asked the court to reward the designer.
His identity was there, and no official dared to interrupt him, until he was leaving, Shang Shengshan squeaked and said, "Sir, Lord Yan said that he was from your mansion." ”
Deng Jing didn't hold back his wild laughter, which scared away a group of sparrows in the trees in the courtyard of the military headquarters.
Li Bing's face, which was thicker than the city wall, was also red with shame at that time, he had always just played with people, but this time he was played by his granddaughter and the disciple who thought he was the most honest, this is angry.
Li Jingjingyun sat down lightly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Grandpa, you give me Uncle Li Bei, and I want him to be the captain of my personal team." ”
Li Bing shook his head and said, "You compensate me, not me compensate you." ”
