So Hong Chengchou smiled, nodded and said: "Since you are so ambitious, I will play the emperor today and promote you to participate in the politics of Shaanxi, I could have directly promoted you to be the governor of Shaanxi, but you were only a county commander before, and if you are promoted to a higher level, it will cause criticism, and the officials in the court will say that I am a traitor." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Sun doesn't care about the size of the official position, as long as he can recruit troops and fight." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded: "Shaanxi participates in politics, you can participate in the military, and you also have a little military power, I used to participate in politics." You must know. ”

Sun Chuanting arched his hand: "Yes, my lord became famous in Hancheng, and I admire him very much." As long as I can lead the troops, I will definitely follow the example of the adults and live up to the trust. ”

Hong Chengchou patted Sun Chuanting on the shoulder: "This matter is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. You've never been in the barracks, you don't know anything about the military, and you should think twice about everything. ”

Sun Chuanting's face was solemn, and he bowed: "Thank you, sir." Remember the teachings below. After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but Hong Chengchou stopped him: "In addition to the recruitment order, what else do you need?" For example, weapons, horses, generals...... You name it, and give it to you as long as I have it. Sun Chuanting thought for a while and shook his head: "No need, Xi'an is the lifeblood of Shaanxi, and at this time, these things are needed even more." I'm alone, that's enough. ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Where are you going to recruit troops?" ”

Sun Chuanting did not hesitate: "Yulin." ”

As for Sun Chuanting's automatic request, the Qin army naturally didn't know, and even if he knew, it wouldn't attract much attention, after all, this person's military talent was not revealed. What Li Yan is doing now is how to make himself stronger.

The people in the city found that this rebellious army was not like thieves, they did not kill people, did not set fires, did not enter the people's homes to rob, and no one had indecent behavior towards women, and often helped the people to repair their houses, and gave food and clothing to the elderly, which was even more decent than the official army. So everyone slowly put their minds at ease and even began to like these people.

The only people who don't like them are probably the big families in the city who have money and food.

Although the Qin army did not touch the ordinary people, it was not polite to the large gentry. These Qin troops did not have military salaries, and they did not ask for monthly silver, which was determined by the tradition of the Qin army. In the history of the Qin army, there has never been a concept of military pay. The Qin people served as soldiers and fought wars, and they unconditionally obeyed the orders of the monarch. The state only rationed food rations, so they relied on their families for their daily expenses.

And today's soldiers of the Qin army have long since lost their homes, and they can only regard their comrades-in-arms as relatives and brothers. Therefore, the Qin army is more united, and they know that if they are not united, there will only be death.

Soldiers can do without silver, but an army cannot survive without silver. They all need silver to buy food, cloth, horses, and weapons, so they have to stretch out their hands to those who have money.

On the second day after Li Yan occupied Huayin, he began to raid the wealthy families in the city and collected almost all the cash in these people's homes. These people looked at the wolf-like Qin army, how dare anyone speak up. didn't kill them, it was already merciful.

Fortunately, Li Yan was not a ruthless person, he gave one hundred taels of silver to each household, and then expelled all these rich families from Huayin City.

This trick is just in case. Because these rich families have a dense network of connections in the city, they must be extremely resentful if they raid their homes, and if they stay in the city, once the Ming army attacks the city, these people are likely to be used as internal responses, Li Dang himself has done such a thing, so he is very supportive of Li Yan's approach.

In the current Huayin City, there are no rich households, only civilians. So everything is safe.

Li Yan is so busy these days that his legs and stomach are spinning, and he has no time to take care of the red lady and Xiaoqing, what he didn't expect is that these two girls are busier than him.

What Li Yan has to worry about is the development and growth of the Qin army, and what Red Lady and Xiaoqing are worried about are more than 100 women. As the saying goes, three women in one play, and these more than 100 women get together more lively than a hundred troupes singing together.

Women in troubled times, not more than usual, pay attention to what kind and respectful, all women who come to join the army, their temperament is stubborn, their voices are high-pitched, their hands and feet are thick, and ordinary men can't manage it, let alone two young girls.

Therefore, Li Yan felt that they were just playing, trying to be fresh, and in a few days, this women's army would have to be disbanded.

So when the Women's Army trained for the first time, Li Yan sent a Qin soldier who was recuperating from his injuries to take a peek at the school's military field, and when the training was over, he reported to him that he would know, so that he could smile. That Qin soldier really went, squatting in the grass from a distance and watching.

He didn't see anything.

Because the school military field is covered with green cloth. Bamboo poles were inserted around the venue, and the poles were surrounded by green cloth, and ordinary people couldn't see inside when they jumped their feet, so this Qin Jun had no choice but to give up.

He came back to report to Li Yan, Li Yan laughed dumbly, not knowing what the hell these two girls were doing.

At this time, a good show was being staged in the school military field.

More than a dozen female soldiers were being pressed to the ground and spanked, and of course, it was also female soldiers who were beating.

It turned out that when the red lady trained her female soldiers for the first time, she encountered an embarrassing situation. These women have never been soldiers, how do they know the rules of being a soldier, not only do some people come late, but also those who come are also standing there scattered, giggling, no one takes it seriously.

The red lady issued several orders in a row, asking them to line up, and these women finally stood in line, but they stood crookedly. When the red lady gave the order again, no one listened, and the whole school military field burst into laughter.

Xiaoqing rolled her eyes in anger, helpless.

The red lady sank her face, threw the order flag, strode to the middle of the group, and stood in front of the women who laughed the loudest, these women were still laughing. The red lady said loudly: "What should you be guilty of if you don't listen to orders?" ”

As soon as they heard the little girl in front of them teach them a serious lesson, the women laughed even louder, and some of them were already laughing and bending over.

The red lady was no longer polite, pulled out a short knife from her waist, and shook it in the sun.

The laughter of those women immediately became smaller, and some people began to be afraid, and the red lady sneered: "The military order is like a mountain, you dare not obey, you should be beheaded, but you are the first offender, there is no need to kill the head, come here, take off the pants of these people, and beat the twenty boards." ”

The order was given, but no one moved, everyone looked at the red lady blankly, and they couldn't believe it, did they really want to fight? The red lady pointed to more than a dozen women and asked them to come over for execution, but these dozen people did not dare to move, and the red lady said coldly: "If you don't move, I will give each of you a knife in the face!" As he spoke, he slashed the knife in the face of a woman, who screamed in fright, ran faster than anyone else, and rushed up to pick up the board.

As soon as she moved, the dozen or so women designated all ran over, and four or five people pressed one by one, pressing the female comedians to the ground and pulling off their pants.

Since everyone is a woman, even if they are a little embarrassed, they are not lost in the eyes of men, although these women are so ashamed that they almost go to the ground, they have no thoughts of suicide.

As soon as the red lady gave the order, the board was beaten.

Just hit a few times, the beaten woman couldn't stand it, and shouted in pain, but the red lady ignored it and waited until the twenty beatings were over, and then she stopped.

The beaten woman was dragged aside, and the red lady stood in front of the line again to give the order, this time none of the women dared to laugh, and they all listened honestly.

I laughed, and all of them honestly obeyed the order.

The red lady has been managing the opera troupe since she was a child, and there are both men and women in the troupe, with different temperaments, but under her management, they are also orderly. Needless to say, she has two hits. In fact, as long as everyone obeys orders, it is much easier to manage, and to let others obey orders, it mainly depends on two points, one is prestige, and the other is threat.

In the eyes of these women, the current red lady naturally has no prestige, so only threats can have an effect.

After a day of training, except for a few who were too stupid, the overall formation actually began to look good. The red lady was very happy, she understood that as long as time passed, this women's army would not dare to say that it would be possible to charge into battle, at least defend a city and harass the enemy.

That night, the red lady came to Li Yan alone, Li Yan wanted to ask her about the situation of the women's army, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly let her enter the hall and sit down.

The red lady looked at Li Yan and felt that this young man was a little haggard than a few days ago, and she also understood that he was the backbone of the Qin army at the moment, and he relied on him to decide big and small things, so she didn't get enough sleep. She felt a little pity in her heart: "Li Gongzi, you have to take care of your body, and at your age, it is the time to grow your body, you must eat enough and sleep well." ”

Li Yan arched his hand: "Thank you for the girl's care, although I am tired now, I can still stand it, and I eat more than before." The red lady nodded: "That's good." Li Yan said: "The girl is not coming, I still want to go to you, I heard that you have trained a group of women's army, I don't know what the situation is?" ”

The red lady said: "They are very obedient and train very carefully, I think it won't be long before they will be like a real army." ”

Li Yan raised his big fingers: "The girl really has the means." But I don't know why you know how to war? ”
