Chapter 211: Treasure Vault vs Arsenal

Although the Mingguang Armor, one of the thirteen armors of the Tang Dynasty, was found in the cave treasure house, it was still not certain that these treasures were relics of the Tang Dynasty.

Because, the earliest source of Mingguang armor is the Han Dynasty.

Mingguang armor can only be regarded as the Tang Dynasty inherited the legacy of the previous dynasty.

Therefore, it is not possible to determine the age in which the treasure cave was built based on the horizontal sword and the bright light armor alone.

However, Zhang Junping is not an archaeologist or a historian, so there is no need to dwell on those things.

He only needed to count how much gold and silver there was in the treasure cave, how many copper coins there were, how many of these hundred refining horizontal swords, and how many Mingguang armors there were.

"Count the horizontal knives and Mingguang armor first!"

"Yes!"

Dozens of sergeants counted quickly, and after a while, all the weapons and armor were cleared.

"The lord of Qiqi Zhixian has a total of 300 ritual knives, 500 barrier knives, and 1,500 horizontal knives! 3,000 Mo knives, 2,000 sets of Mingguang armor, 2,000 sets of chain mail, 1,000 sets of Shanwen armor, and 3,000 sets of infantry armor! Zhang Bo ran over to report.

Zhang Junping was stunned by Zhang Bo's words.

This is not just a treasure cave, but an arsenal.

There are more than 10,000 sets of various armors, as well as more than 4,000 four-style Tang swords.

Weapons and armor alone are a great asset.

These weapons and armor don't mean you can buy them with money.

Without the power of the dominant side, it simply cannot be done.

Based on the style of these weapons and armor, Zhang Junping deduced that the time of these treasures should be the end of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, it was a time when the world was in turmoil and the princes were vying for hegemony.

It is estimated that this treasure collector, when he created this batch of weapons and armor, his mind was not very pure, and he also thought about rebelling and fighting for the world or something.

I just don't know what happened later, but these weapons and armor, along with the huge wealth, were hidden in this cave.

Anyway, now this wealth belongs to him Zhang Junping.

It should be said that it belongs to the Great Song Dynasty!

Zhang Junping estimated that this treasure cave was at least hidden by the festival envoys during the Tang Dynasty.

The envoy of the Tang Dynasty was a figure who held the military and political power of a place.

I don't know how many times more powerful than Xia Shuai makes such a Zhizhou.

The Song Dynasty also had the position of the Jie Du Envoy, but it absorbed the lessons of the Tang Dynasty's Jie Du making too much power, supporting the army and respecting itself, and even raising troops to rebel.

"Keep counting the other gold and silver jewelry!" Zhang Junping suppressed the surprise in his heart, nodded and ordered.

There were too many gold, silver, jewelry, and copper coins in the cave, and it was difficult to count them for a while.

Until the ten masters rushed to the Wuzhi Temple with their own families according to Zhang Junping's request, less than one-third of the inventory was counted.

Then, the forbidden army stationed in the mountains also rushed over.

Zhang Junping did not let the family and the forbidden army enter the cave, but asked all the soldiers to withdraw from the cave, and pressed the mechanism to seal the cave.

"Your family members should have told you that from today onwards, you will all be adapted into Muping County Township Soldiers!

But you are different from the township soldiers in other counties, you don't need to go to farming, and come to train in your spare time!

You will receive more rigorous training than the Forbidden Army, which trains every three days or every five days, and you practice every day! ”

In ancient times, soldiers did not have to conduct military training every day, and those who could practice every three days and every five days were elite soldiers.

In some troops, even every ten days, or even once a month, it is not that they do not want to practice, but in this era, because of the problem of nutrition, soldiers cannot afford high-intensity, continuous military training.

As Yu Qingyang said, once a day of training, it is estimated that a large number of soldiers will be trained first, without waiting for the soldiers to be trained.

After listening to Zhang Junping's words, there was an uproar below.

Zhang Junping ignored the discussion of the township soldiers who had just been reorganized, and continued: "Of course, there is one thing you can rest assured, let you train, not your life!"

As long as you train seriously, you don't have meat at a time, but you have fragrant bone broth to drink every day, and you can eat white flour and big steamed buns!

The kind that is full! ”

Zhang Junping couldn't afford to eat meat for them, so he could only retreat and buy some cheap pork bones, sheep bones, and beef bones to make soup for them.

A few bones, plus a little herbs, can boil a large pot of nourishing bone broth that strengthens muscles and bones, enough for forty or fifty people to drink.

Definitely cheap and affordable, good value for money.

"Outside of Li Yuan, the number of Ding in this family is a little wrong!" When Zhang Junping was about to divide the camp for these township soldiers, he suddenly found that there were more than 2,000 people coming.

"The Lord of Qiqi County!

There are 5,000 people in total!

Other wealthy squires in Muping County heard about the feat of the county magistrate, and they also contributed their families to serve as township soldiers! The head of the Li family explained to Zhang Junping with a smile.

Zhang Junping smiled, not much.

He knew that this was the handiwork of the ten family masters, and the family members in his own family were requisitioned by Zhang Junping, and for the sake of the family's safety, he naturally could not leave room for other families to resist them.

So the ten masters took the initiative to force all the big and small families in Muping County to contribute their families to the nursing home for Zhang Junping to reorganize the township soldiers.

In this way, everyone has no caretaker at home, no family, and naturally no longer has to worry about someone peeping into the status of their top ten families.

No matter what the purpose of the ten masters is, their actions have created a big problem for Zhang Junping.

Township soldiers are not just formed, but also grassroots generals such as leading generals, battalion commanders, capital heads, and captains.

"Five thousand of you, divided into a battalion for every five hundred, now I give you a quarter of an hour, free combination!

After a quarter of an hour, those who have not yet been divided into teams, and who are still making loud noises, will be killed! Zhang Junping was angry and ordered loudly.

Five thousand is not a small number.

There is a saying that when there are more than 10,000 people, there is no boundary.

So half of 10,000 people, 5,000 people standing together, how big a piece is, you can imagine.

After Zhang Junping gave the order, the pot suddenly exploded below, and all kinds of shouts, shouts, and insults came and went.

Zhang Junping ignored them, turned his head to look at Zhang Bo, "Zhang Bo, you are here to serve as the commander of the township army!"

Below is divided into ten battalions!

Battalion commander, your squad is temporarily in charge! ”

"My squad is only ten people, and there is still one battalion commander left to do it!" Zhang Bo had an excited smile on his face and muttered quietly.

"Bring someone from your eldest brother's direct squad!"

As the squadron leader, Zhang Ming also has a direct squad of ten people under his command, which is equivalent to a personal soldier.

The ten battalions of the township soldiers were divided very quickly, and the families of the ten major families naturally would not be separated.

Under the hint of the ten family masters, the family members of the ten major families each formed a battalion, and then absorbed the family members from those small families and added them to their own battalions.
