Chapter 17: Identity Leakage (Plus 2000)
Since Qin You'an occupied Yingtian, he has spent great effort to rebuild Yingtianfu, and because of the influx of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, the old city before can no longer accommodate so many people, so it can only be expanded outward, and the inner city and the outer city have been divided. Now, a year later, it is no longer what it used to be. Although it is 108,000 miles different from the magnificent capital city in the previous life, it has already taken such a rudimentary shape.
After all, he already had a case in his heart, and he knew how to build it.
The geographical location of Yingtian is extremely superior, the north depends on the Yangtze River, the water source is abundant, the river transportation is convenient, there is the Qinhuai River in the south around the city, it is a natural water transport distribution place, and the Purple Mountain Longpan is in the east, the stone city is in the west, there is a large area of water in the north of Xuanwu Lake, it can be said that it is really surrounded by mountains on three sides, one is facing the water, the dragon is in the tiger, which is why Qin Youan must build the capital here.
Because of the adoption of Mr. Zhu's "high wall, extensive grain, slow king" of the building, Yingtian's city wall is extremely tall, the wall base is paved with stones, and the wall body is built with large city bricks on both sides of the outer wall, which is absolutely impregnable.
For Qin Youan, this is his old nest, so he will definitely spare no effort to transform the city.
Even the territory he occupied expanded from Yingtian to the surrounding areas. It's a pity that his territory has expanded to a limit.
To the east, it borders the territory of Pan Heze, the king of Ze, who occupied the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, to the north, it borders the territory of Fu Jingshan, who occupies Shandong, Henan and other places, and to the west, it borders the territory of Qi Wu, who occupies Huguang and other places. If we continue to expand, we will have to engage with other forces in a short fight.
As for the "King of Shu" who occupied Yunnan, Sichuan and other places further west, as well as the imperial army, because they were too far away, they were not the objects that You'an needed to consider dealing with for the time being.
Before this, Qin You'an had been fighting with King Ze for several months, seizing a lot of his territory in Jiangsu, and it was not until the spring of this year (the 14th year of Yuanguang) that the two armies temporarily ceased fighting.
Qin Youan has always been steady and steady, and he is definitely not in a hurry for quick success, so he responds to the day to rest and recuperate, and by the way, he deals with the upcoming flooding.
Fortunately, the disaster has been passed safely, and the post-disaster treatment, as well as the expansion of the army, as well as the construction of the capital, have all been carried out smoothly, and after a rest, Qin You'an's strength has already gone further.
Today, hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed inside and outside Yingtian City, except for some troops stationed in the Generalissimo's Mansion in the inner city and along the river, most of the troops are stationed in the northwest region of the city. There are large barracks, granaries, warehouses and various military craftsman workshops, forming a unique military area, and even Qin Shu's Red Lotus Army has a camp here.
And in the relative northeast region, it is the place where Qin Youan intends to establish the imperial city.
Of course, now is not a good time to build the imperial city, but Qin Youan is already preparing it in secret.
When He Yunting stood outside the city gate, tilted her head, and looked at the tall, sturdy city walls and the magnificent city towers, she couldn't help but feel awe and amazement.
But she was only amazed for a moment, thinking that the owner of this city had already been replaced by Qin Zhaocheng, she shuddered a little.
I also felt a little uneasy about my reckless return.
It is only when you see the people around you who are protecting you that you calm down a little.
This Qin Youan may not be the Qin Zhaocheng in history. She didn't have to scare herself.
And, as long as she is careful and doesn't reveal her identity, she'll be fine.
Just when He Yunting was so impetuous and almost impatient that she could barely bear it, she heard a commotion and noise from the crowd behind her, as if she had encountered something exciting.
Seeing this, He Yunting suddenly became interested, turned around and looked at everyone's sight.
Then she saw a patch of red.
Under the sun, the red, like the fiery clouds she had ever seen, was so brilliant and colorful that she couldn't help but squint her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, this is what we are looking for.
Only then did He Yunting see clearly that this was actually a team of female soldiers riding high-headed horses.
They wore the same costume, wearing red shirts inside, black armor outside, combing high ponytails on their heads, carrying long knives around their waists, and on their arms, they also wore a black armband with the word "cavalry" written on it, which looked very textured, in fact, if you look closely, you will know that it is embroidered on red thread. Most of them are calm, cold, focused, and disciplined in their actions.
In particular, the first one was even more majestic, and the armor on his body was different from the others, it was silver-white.
At this moment, it seemed that all the noise had disappeared.
Everyone stopped talking, quickly stepped aside, and watched them quietly.
He Yunting was pulled by someone because she was a step slower, and she almost didn't stand firm, which made her a little annoyed, and she glared at the person who pulled her.
It's a pity that people didn't look at her at all.
He Yunting didn't care about being angry, and once again set her eyes on those female soldiers, especially the woman who was the leader, her eyes were almost staring at her, with curiosity, shock, envy, and a hint of incredulity.
You must know that she has not seen such a female general under Qi Wu's command.
Even if she is her, she only exists as a strategist.
This is the first female general she has seen in ancient times.
This makes how not to be surprised.
And the woman in the lead, who seemed to be aware of her gaze, suddenly turned her head sideways, and met her gaze accurately, her gaze was calm and waveless, and she quickly looked away.
Seeing that group of people and horses entering the city smoothly, He Yunting retracted her shocked gaze and said sourly in her heart-
I thought this woman was amazing, and she didn't look good, did she?
However, she quickly frowned and said, "Who are they?" Why are there still female soldiers here?
Person? Why are there still female soldiers here? β
The gatekeeper was so polite to them, and when they entered the city, they only symbolically inquired about them, and they knew that their status was not low.
Originally, she was just talking to herself, but she was overheard by one of the victims next to her.
The victim was a young man in his twenties, a little thin, with slick eyes and a shrewd look.
When he saw that He Yunting was beautiful, he began to show off the news he had inquired about.
He glanced He Yunting up and down, focusing on her bulging chest twice, and then leaned over, salivating and smiling: "The girl is a newcomer at first glance, and it's not surprising that she doesn't know." Those female soldiers who passed just now have a lot of backgrounds. β
Most women are very sensitive to men's gaze, especially when this person eats her tofu and doesn't hide it at all, which makes her even more disgusted, and the disgust in her eyes is almost overflowing.
Seeing this, the people around her who were protecting her were about to step forward to drive the man away, but she raised her hand to stop her, because she also wanted to inquire about the situation in the city!
Although this person is a little unruly, he seems to be well-informed, so it is better to ask for some news from him.
When the news is finished, it is not too late to teach him a lesson.
He Yunting forcibly suppressed her disgust at him, and reluctantly smiled: "What are they coming from?" β
"Well...... man's gaze wandered over a pair of silver earrings on her ears, and the meaning was self-evident.
He Yunting's current wear, only this pair of earrings is worth a little money.
She unceremoniously took off the earrings and threw them to him, raised her eyebrows, and said with a little disdain and disdain: "You should say it now!" β
The man didn't care about her face, he smiled and directly put the pair of earrings in his arms, but he didn't sell them anymore, and said with satisfaction and pride: "I heard that these female soldiers are the Red Lotus Army under the command of Mrs. Qin. The whole army was made up of women. Moreover, people are not only good-looking, I heard that they have also killed people on the battlefield! No worse than men. It is said that the treatment of the Red Lotus Army is excellent, and now it is recruiting, and many people have signed up! It's a pity that I'm not a daughter, otherwise, I would have been the first to join. β
The man's expression was filled with a bit of pity.
But He Yunting seemed to have heard something incredible, her face turned white, her eyes widened, her lips squirmed, and she didn't know what she was saying.
In fact, she had already asked Song Liangxiu about Qin Youan, and naturally knew that he was from Xiao Qinzhuang and had been dependent on his mother since he was a child.
Of course, Song Liangxiu did not sue her, the two are not mother and son.
Qin Shu sued him at the time, and he also believed him, so he naturally didn't want to reveal it to others. Therefore, He Yunting didn't know about it.
After hearing Qin Youan's origin, He Yunting guessed that Qin Youan was not Qin Zhaocheng, after all, it did not match the family background of Cheng Taizu that she knew, Yan zhΓ²ng. Definitely somewhere to go out cuΓ².
No wonder she couldn't find Qin Gou leftover no matter how she looked for it!
But she couldn't figure out exactly what went wrong.
Now that she heard the news of the Red Lotus Army, she suddenly felt blessed in her heart, and she was a little suspicious of the so-called Mrs. Qin.
suspects that she has the same experience as herself, or rather, she also knows this history, killed the real Qin Zhaocheng early, and supported her son to ascend to the throne, which is why Qin You'an has survived.
Of course, this is just a little speculation on her part.
Even so, it was enough to make her cautious, even vigilant.
Regardless of whether Mrs. Qin was a "fellow villager" or not, she didn't plan to recognize her.
They are not destined to be all the way.
And when the fellow sees the fellow, it is not necessarily tearful, and there is also the possibility of swords facing each other.
At least she couldn't have a good impression of Mrs. Qin, who was suspected of being a fellow countryman.
Because she's too much of a threat to herself.
Thinking of this, He Yunting became more and more pale. She comforted herself that maybe she was just thinking too much.
Moreover, it doesn't matter if Qin Youan is not Qin Zhaocheng, at least she doesn't have to be so afraid of him.
Not everyone can be Qin Zhaocheng.
Just as she was comforting herself, she heard the man say again: "By the way, forget to tell you, Mrs. Qin also has a medical team under her command, both men and women, specializing in treating the injured." I heard that the Lang Zhong in it is comparable to Hua Tuo's medical skills, and even the plague can be cured! β
The man's expression was exaggerated, and his eyes were eager, and he was obviously very touched by this. I don't know how many victims came specifically for this!
Of course, patients with the plague must be isolated and treated, and it is impossible to be put into the city.
He Yunting bit her lower lip tightly, the other party's words completely broke the luck in her heart, that Mrs. Qin was her fellow countryman.
At this moment, He Yunting's heart suddenly gave birth to a strong killing intent.
She really came back this time, otherwise, she didn't know that there was such a big "surprise" waiting for her here.
It's no wonder that after passing through, nothing went well, and she suffered so many setbacks, it turned out that someone took the lead and changed history, so that she could no longer feel the pulse of this era, and suffered so much disaster and pain.
She is now just a small strategist under Song Liangxiu, but the other party is the mother of the high-ranking Generalissimo Qin, and she can even be said to be one of the most noble women in the world, with great power.
She threatens herself too much.
As long as she is there, she has little room to play.
She didn't want to go on like this.
The only way to change the status quo is to kill her.
That Qin You'an's rapid rise must be due to her "fellow countryman", as long as she kills her, then Qin You'an is not a basis.
In this way, she has made a great achievement.
When the time comes, who else will look down on themselves
Will you look down on yourself? Even Qi Wu will look at her differently!
He Yunting's eyes became firm, she didn't want to delay any longer, she had to return to the He family as much as possible, restore the identity of the He family's daughter, and put aside the rebellion for the time being, because she planned to use the identity of the He family's daughter to get close to Mrs. Qin, so that she could not startle the snake.
In the northwest area of the city, in the camp of the Red Lotus Army.
In the office that handles official business, Qin Shu sits behind the bookcase at the top and deals with some things.
During this time, due to the large influx of disaster victims and the local people affected by the disaster, the Red Lotus Army also expanded, and now it has increased from 3,000 to 5,000, and it will continue to increase.
This is still the result of Qin Shu's excellence.
If you want to join the Red Lotus Army, you have to go through a series of tests.
Up and down the Red Lotus Army, everyone was very busy.
Now, Qin Shu divides his Red Lotus Army into three battalions-
Infantry barracks, water barracks, cavalry barracks.
Of course, Qin Shu also plans to establish a Shenji camp, a medical camp, and so on in the future.
The weapons of the Shenji Battalion are naturally muskets and firearms.
In this era, there were already muskets and artillery, at least they were used relatively rarely, and they did not attract attention.
It's powerful, but it has a lot of drawbacks.
The accuracy is not very accurate, the range is not very far, and there is a disadvantage in the second strike, so it is not as convenient as using crossbow arrows. On top of that, there are also the problems of the weight and handling of the guns themselves. This is all that needs to be addressed.
Fortunately, it has many advantages.
For example, the training time required for the firearm is relatively short, and it is easy to form combat effectiveness. Especially when the infantry treats the cavalry, they use firearms, which are very loud and easy to startle the horses, and the wounds caused are particularly terrifying, which can easily cause the enemy soldiers to scatter.
The most important thing is that Qin Shu is not good at other things, but he knows all kinds of thermal weapons very well.
No one has a better say in the improvement of the musket than her.
Qin Shu didn't plan to use the weapons in the space, because she didn't have many weapons in her collection, so she could only make them herself.
This time to expand the army, Qin Shu planned to train them to use firearms.
And You'an also attaches great importance to the role of firearms and artillery, and ordered people to start manufacturing them at the beginning, Qin Shu was still surprised at the time.
In fact, Qin Shu didn't know that when You'an fought the world in his previous life, this fire gun could help him a lot. He also has a soft spot for firecrackers and artillery.
In this life, he will naturally not abandon it.
After reading the information in his hand, Qin Shu realized that he was very hungry. I looked at the sky and realized that it was already noon.
Qin Shu's subordinates also include Cheng Qiuyu, Tian Mei, the leader of the infantry battalion, He Mengchuan, the leader of the water battalion, and Zhen Xiaohe, the chief financial officer and secretary general who is in charge of finance, managing clothing, food, accommodation, and weapons. Of course, the position of secretary general was also appointed by Qin Shu, but her power as secretary general is much greater.
And Lu Qingmiao, the leader of the pro-guards, stood behind Qin Shu as usual.
Only Xia Tong from the cavalry camp was not there because she went out of the city to preside over the recruitment.
"Let's all rest for a while, and it's not too late to get busy after eating." Qin Shu coughed lightly and spoke.
"It's finally time to eat, we're starving."
Hearing Qin Shu's words, everyone changed their previous seriousness, stretched their waists and stood up, their faces relaxed and happy.
They were already hungry, and they saw that the big leader was still busy before, so they could only sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman.
Seeing this, Qin Shu shook her head with a slight smile, stood up, and led the group to the restaurant.
There are five large rooms in this office barracks, the middle is the conference hall, and the other four rooms have the finance hall, the general office, the flower hall for resting, and the dining room.
Just as they said this and walked to the conference hall in the middle, they happened to see Xia Tong walk in.
As soon as she saw her, Tian Mei smiled and quipped: "Hey, I'm not afraid of coming early, I'm afraid of coming by coincidence, we were about to go to dinner, and you came back." Shouldn't it be a special one to come back to eat? β
Xia Tong ignored her, and directly stepped forward to bow to Qin Shu and saluted: "My subordinates have seen the big leader, the second leader. β
Qin Shu raised her hand, excused her, and said, "How is it?" Have you found any good seedlings? β
Cheng Qiuyu also nodded at her and looked at her gently.
Xia Tong showed a little smile on his face this time, glanced at He Mengchuan and Tian Mei demonstratively, and said, "I really found a few." However, she has already snatched it into her camp, and others can't snatch it away even if they want to.
Compared with her before, Xia Tong is much more mature and stable, a little unsmiling, only in front of Qin Shu and others, she will show a little bit of her true nature.
"Hmph, seeing that you have to be like this, who is rare?" Tian Mei pursed her lips and said with disdain, she also received a few good seedlings!
He Mengchuan just smiled slightly, as if he didn't care.
Xia Tong only said that the grapes were sour when they couldn't eat grapes, and glanced at them proudly, disdainful to respond.
Tian Mei rolled her eyes in anger.
Regarding the undercurrent surging between the three of them, Qin Shu and Cheng Qiuyu both looked laissez-faire.
Because they are all healthy competition, they compete for the first place everywhere on the surface, fighting like black-eyed chickens, but their feelings in private are still very good, and they never use those shady means.
After lunch, the group went to the school field to inspect the drills of the recruits.
Even if the sun is scorching, what should be practiced still has to be practiced.
is different from other people's training methods, Qin Shu's soldiers have to stand in a military posture. Standing in the military posture, in addition to the physical exercise, also includes perseverance, discipline, obedience, and the test of suzhì.
After a period of time, the spirit of the whole person will improve a lot, and the body will be as tall as a pine.
These recruits, naturally, are no exception.
I looked at it seriously for a while
After watching the recruits' drills for a while, Qin Shu put forward some suggestions, and asked Zhen Xiaohe that the recruits' military uniforms, accommodation, and diet could be prepared.
"It's all ready, we planned to expand the army before, so the military uniforms were prepared early, even the camp, a few more rows were built at the beginning, and now it finally comes in handy, everyone is used to living a hard life, so they are all well adapted." Zhen Xiaohe said with a glance.
Qin Shu nodded. After inspecting around, Qin Shu rubbed her shoulders and planned to go back to the house, there were still many things waiting for her to do in the house.
The group sent Qin Shu away.
When Qin Shu was about to get on the horse and leave, Xia Tong suddenly said, "Master? β
Qin Shu looked at her in surprise.
Xia Tong frowned slightly and didn't know what to think, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, and in the end, he only told him to be careful on the road and pay attention to safety.
Although Qin Shu was surprised, she also nodded.
After stepping on the horse, she took out a wooden whistle and blew it, which was not loud, but the goshawk was sensitive to this sound.
After a while, Xiao Cang's figure appeared in everyone's sight, hovering and chirping in the sky.
The personal guards led by Lu Qingmiao also got on their horses and escorted Qin Shu away.
After Qin Shu walked away, Tian Mei suddenly asked, "Xia Tong, what did you want to say to the big leader just now?" β
Cheng Qiuyu also looked at Xia Tong and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't take it to heart." β
Cheng Qiuyu is their chief instructor, and Tian Mei and others have more respect and awe for her.
Xia Tong frowned and said, "I'm not sure either." When I entered the city, I found a young and beautiful woman at the gate of the city, and I always thought that she was a little strange, and she looked a little unsimple. I don't know if I'm making a big fuss, so I ...... "She didn't dare to sue the big chief."
What if I get it wrong?
Xia Tong's perception is very strong, especially for other people's feelings, and the feeling is particularly accurate.
Even though she only glanced at the woman, she sensed that something was wrong.
And that person doesn't look like a disaster victim no matter how she looks, who knows if she has other plans to go into the city?
"Can you draw her out?" Cheng Qiuyu asked.
"Absolutely." Xia Tong nodded and asked, "Do you also think there is something wrong with her?" β
The Grand Leader once gave them a strange way of drawing, which could quickly and accurately draw people's faces, and she learned very well.
"It's better to believe what you have than what you don't." Cheng Qiuyu looked into the distance and said lightly, "At this critical time, you have to be cautious about everything. β
At the same time, after He Yunting couldn't enter the city by exhausting all methods, she finally ran out of patience, showed her identity, and was claimed back by the people sent by the He family.
