The reason why Lou Zheng made the horseshoe so quickly was to win the attention of General Lou.

In Liangzhou, as long as she has her father's support, she can do anything.

Now that the first step has been reached, it's time to tell your father about part of your plan.

"Daddy, I read the paperwork at Uncle Zhou's that day, I know a little about the situation in the military camp, you have been fighting with the Tuhun people for so many years, it is impossible not to understand the character of the Tuhun people. The cold winter has just passed, and the territory of the Tuhun people is poor in resources, and although they have all kinds of jewelry, they still lack food the most. They had just survived the winter, and these months were the time when they needed to replenish them most, and last year the Tuhun people were united by a young Zambou. Dad, if I were that Zambu, it would be the best time to launch an attack on the northern border during the Dawu Naval Battle! ”

General Lou's face was solemn, as a general who had experienced the baptism of a hundred battles, how could he not have thought of this, but in the poor and backward Liangzhou, his soldiers lacked food and grass, what else could he do except prevent him?

Training?

The soldiers are hungry and can't run, how can they train?

Tax?

The people of Liangzhou can't eat enough, where can they go to levy it?

The gold, silver and jewelry around him that can be exchanged for money and food have long been replaced, and even the ones left for his daughter have been used by him.

If the robbers could rob the money and food, General Lou would take the lead in covering his head and face to loot, but unfortunately, now there is no one to rob......

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!

The only hope is that the imperial court will quickly allocate food money and silver, and the military consumption can no longer be reduced!

Today, in order to calm the morale of the army. General Lou personally killed two of the fleeing soldiers.

It's a pity that there is not even a shadow of the supply of the court!

Lou Zheng looked at his father's depressed and tired face, and his heart was very distressed.

"Dad, have you written home yet?"

General Lou sighed softly and wrote, how could he not have written.

The family is the support of all the Lou family, and the first thing General Lou asked for help was the main house of Shengjing, but the three thousand taels of silver brought back by the messenger were a drop in the bucket.

Lou Zheng saw his father's expression and knew that the Shengjing Lou family had the mentality of coping with his father's request for help.

Why can't those people see the essence, the entire Lou family is both prosperous and lossy, and it is the father who really supports the entire Lou family. If the father loses the position of general of Zhenbei. The Lou family will never look like this. They are not prevaricating their father, they are pushing the entire Lou family into the fire pit.

The old lady's stubborn and stingy temperament will harm the entire Lou family.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Lou Zheng took a deep breath and said to his father: "Dad, we can't rely on anyone now." You already know the results in the main house. The East China Sea side is even more inextricably linked. Our Dawu Dynasty Sailor is already invincible to the Japanese Invaders, and I am afraid that it will really be a battle to the death, so the imperial court is unreliable. ”

General Lou smiled miserably. He didn't know it, but the appropriation of the imperial court was the last straw for the border army.

Lou Zheng saw the desperate expression on her father's face, thinking that the last time her father came over like this, her entire chest seemed to be tightened, and she couldn't breathe in discomfort.

"Dad, we're on our own."

Yes, you can't rely on anyone, the most reliable person is only yourself!

"Daddy, I have a way to hear it with you?" Lou Zheng said solemnly to his father.

It was late at night, but there were still two figures, one large and one small, on the window of the study.

General Lou nodded solemnly, although he was not sure if his daughter could really get money through this method, but there was no other better way.

"Daddy, I'll arrange the rest personally, you just need to give me enough manpower."

"Jiaojiao, the manpower will be allocated to you tomorrow for the father, you don't have to worry about this."

"Dad, I want your trusted guards, and this must be done by your own people. Remember, Dad, you have to be the person you trust the most! ”

General Lou stroked his forehead, as if he had made some difficult decision, "Jiaojiao, how about letting Uncle Han go?" ”

Lou Zheng chuckled in her heart, she looked at her father and pursed her lips, "If Uncle Han is the most trustworthy person in the eyes of his father, then his daughter has no opinion." ”

General Lou touched his daughter's soft sideburns, "Okay, tomorrow my father will discuss with your Uncle Han." ”

"Daddy, how much grain and grass is there in the barracks now? You have been starving the soldiers like this, and their grievances have accumulated to a certain extent, and no matter how strict the military law is, it will not be able to suppress it, and I am afraid that there will be real chaos at that time. And once the Tuhun people attacked, the tired and weak generals could not resist the strong cavalry of the Tuhun people at all. ”

"If it is used at a normal rate, it will only be enough for less than twenty days." General Lou said with difficulty.

"Daddy......"

"Jiaojiao, you don't need to say it, Daddy understands, tomorrow he will restore the normal use of all soldiers in the army."

Lou Zheng laughed, "Daddy, by doing this, we can at least give full play to the normal combat level of the border army, and with the horseshoe, many retired old war horses can also be requisitioned again, and the horses of the Left Wing Army can be supplied temporarily." ”

When they get the money back, everything in the border army can be regularized, no, not only must they be on the right track, Lou Zheng wants to arm his father's border army into the most powerful army of the Dawu Dynasty, and let the government and the opposition sing praises for it!

Staring at General Lou's emaciated cheeks and dark eyes, Lou Zheng saw that it was not early, and his father would go to the barracks early tomorrow, so he hurriedly urged his father to rest.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed. Lou Zheng is almost racing against time, and there are still three months left, so it is important to complete all the plans she has listed within these three months.

My father sent a team of fifty personal soldiers to him at will, and one of them was Yu Jiu, a tall and sturdy young man who was a little simple.

Now Aunt Huang and Aunt Xie have gathered five hundred women who know how to needle and thread, and they are all in the courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion to concentrate on making new military uniforms and shoes.

Lou Zheng asked Yu Jiu to collect all the furs that could be used in Liangzhou City, the land in this place is arid and not suitable for sowing, so there are more people who hunt and raise livestock for a living, and the furs are very cheap.

A coarse piece of copper can buy twice as much fur.

Lou Zheng had the women sew a layer of fur into the soles of their shoes, which were not only durable, but also waterproof.

The medicine slave took a dozen girls from the generals to cook for the women who worked in the workshop, and although the daily meals were the simplest steamed porridge and pickles, these working women were very satisfied. Some women will also leave steamed buns and take them back, since Lou Zheng saw it once, he asked the medicine slave to pass the order, if the woman who received the meal and did not eat it can not be used the next day, if you want to take away an extra steamed bun, you can sew half more clothes a day.

As soon as Lou Zheng's words continued, the originally simple women did not cheat and play tricks.
