Book 4: The Summit Congress Chapter 51: Consolidating the Great Army
The next day, the military camp in the back mountain outside the imperial capital of the Xia Kingdom!
Li Siqi, accompanied by Sister Hua, came to the barracks early. Li Siqi first inspected several martial arts competition campuses, and found that the fierce generals under her command were training the army, and said with a slight bow: "King Ning's 300,000 Black Feather Army really needs to strengthen training, otherwise it will be difficult to become the elite soldiers of my Xia Kingdom!" ”
"Lord, General Zhao Yun is back!"
Li Siqi was watching Han Xin's military training, and suddenly Yue Fei trotted over, walked in front of Li Siqi and whispered.
Li Siqi's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, and he immediately opened his mouth and ordered: "Order Zhao Yun to lead 100,000 Northern Zhou war horses to the southern grassland, and send an order to the generals to raise their accounts!" ”
"No!"
After Yue Fei respectfully clenched his fists towards Li Siqi, he immediately ran towards the outside of the camp!
……
For a long time, the handsome camp of the Houshan military camp was full of people.
Hua Mulan, Yue Fei, Han Xin, Gao Changgong, Gao Shun, Guo Jia, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and their lieutenants all came, and they all knelt down on one knee towards Li Siqi and saluted: "Lord! ”
"Excuse me!"
Li Siqi glanced at everyone in the account, and said with an indifferent smile: "Because after the first battle in the southern border, I have more than 300,000 Black Feather troops in Great Xia, as well as the addition of several fierce generals of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, so this time this palace is to adjust your military affairs!" ”
A fine light flashed in everyone's eyes, they glanced at each other, and immediately clasped their fists and said in unison: "Obey the orders of the lord!" ”
Li Siqi bowed slightly, put his hands behind his back, and took two steps forward.
Li Siqi instructed: "Zhao Yun, this palace ordered you to command 100,000 Black Feather Army, form the White Horse Yicong Light Cavalry, and the 100,000 war horses of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will be handed over to you!" ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Zhao Yun thanked him.
Li Siqi instructed: "Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, this palace orders you to command 100,000 Black Feather Army, form and train my Great Xia infantry, there must be no mistake!" ”
"Thank you for your trust!" Lu Bu and Zhang Liao thanked him.
Li Siqi instructed: "Han Xin, this palace orders you to add another 70,000 soldiers to expand the Han family army to 100,000 troops, and the army must include all kinds of troops."
"Thank you, the last general will take the order!" Han Xin thanked him.
Li Siqi instructed: "Yue Fei, this palace orders you to add another 70,000 soldiers to expand the Yue family's army to 100,000 troops, and the army must include all kinds of troops!" ”
"Yue Fei takes the order!" Yue Fei thanked him.
Li Siqi instructed: "Gao Changgong, this palace orders you to add another 70,000 soldiers, expand the Baibao Xianbei heavy cavalry into an army of 100,000, the war horses required by your 70,000 soldiers are already on the way to the imperial capital in the south, if the rest is not enough, go directly to the Zhou family Zhou Tianlong, that is, my grandfather, ask him to buy again, I have already said hello to the Zhou family!" ”
"Gao Chang congratulates the lord!" Gao Chang bowed and thanked.
Li Siqi instructed: "Gao Shun, your trapping camp is not too expensive, this palace wants to expand 9,200 soldiers for you, I hope you can train this 10,000 trapped camp, is it difficult?" ”
"There is no difficulty, thank you for your trust!" Gao Shun thanked him.
Li Siqi instructed: "Xu Chu, yours will not change, this palace orders you to strengthen the training of the Tiger God Army, and the soldiers of the Tiger God Army who died in the Southern Border Battle will fill the vacant positions as soon as possible!" ”
"Yes, my lord!" Xu Chu thanked him.
Li Siqi finally looked at Hua Mulan and said softly: "As for Mulan, she is still the personal guard of the palace!" ”
"No!" Mulan bowed her head slightly in response.
At this moment, Zhao Yun stepped forward and bowed to Li Siqi: "Lord, there will be a cousin at the end, who has excellent marksmanship, and he is not under the clouds. ”
"Oh? It's not under General Zhao, but I want to see it! Lu Bu was surprised, he had tried it with Zhao Yun before, so he naturally knew Zhao Yun's god of marksmanship, but he didn't expect his cousin to also use guns!
"Announce it!"
Li Siqi bowed slightly, she naturally knew who it was, Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin is here!
"Zhao Xin has seen Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager!"
Suddenly, a young man with a long ponytail walked in from outside the camp and bowed slightly to Li Siqi.
Li Siqi smiled lightly: "Zhao Xin, although this palace is not familiar with you, but you are Zhao Yun's cousin, this palace trusts Zhao Yun, so it intends to reuse you, and hand over the remaining more than 70,000 soldiers to you to form my Great Xia spearmen, is there a problem?" ”
A gleam flashed in Zhao Xin's eyes, he was here to try his luck and maybe he could be a lieutenant and deputy general, but he didn't expect Li Siqi to directly let himself form a new army, thinking of this, he immediately knelt down on one knee towards Li Siqi and said: "The last general Zhao Xin will meet the lord, and he will swear allegiance to the lord in this life!" ”
"In the future, they will all be their own family, you don't have to be polite!" Li Siqi stepped forward to help Zhao Xin up, and then looked at all the generals in the account and said loudly: "This palace has played the reward from my father, and there will be higher rewards in this palace in the future, and I hope you will do your best to assist this palace!" ”
"The last general swears allegiance to the lord to the death!"
Everyone knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Siqi in unison.
……
Li Siqi and Mulan then came to the Juxian Pavilion!
More than two months ago, Li Siqi recruited talents here, and now all kinds of talents abound in the Juxian Pavilion, but Li Siqi went to the south to exterminate the alien race, and he has not been to the Juxian Pavilion for nearly three months. There is no troublemaker, there is no other reason, the dragon and crouching tiger are hidden in the museum, and there are masters in any industry, and this is the territory of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess, just ask which one who doesn't want to live dares to make trouble!
"Her Royal Highness, please drink tea!"
After Hua Tuo and the public losing class saw Li Siqi coming, they invited Li Siqi to the hall, and the public losing class personally made two cups of good tea and gently placed them in front of Li Siqi's table.
"Well, how many people does the Juxian Pavilion have now?" Li Siqi bowed slightly.
The public loss squad handed a ledger to Li Siqi and reported softly: "After careful selection by the old man, there are a total of one hundred and eight people, a total of fifty-six martial artists, forty literati, and twelve people who are good at strange tricks and tricks!" ”
"Poof!"
Just one hundred and eight people, is the imperial capital one hundred and eight heroes? Li Siqi couldn't help but laugh, and suddenly asked curiously, "Who are those twelve people?" ”
"Your Royal Highness, those twelve are good at inventing some strange things" After finishing speaking, the public loser pointed to the tables and chairs placed in the courtyard not far away, but they were not ordinary tables and chairs, but they were modified, some chairs could bounce, and some chairs were equipped with wooden rollers, and the same was true for the table.
Li Siqi's eyes flashed after seeing it, he didn't expect that in this backward era of civilization, someone could invent this kind of postmodern office chair!
"The literati and warriors live in the Juxian Pavilion first, and there is another Tai in the back of the main palace, as for those twelve people, bring them to see me now!" Li Siqi commanded.
"No!"
After the public loss shift, he immediately trotted towards the backyard.
After a long time, he brought twelve people, among whom were men and women, the older ones were nearly forty years old, and the younger ones were under eighteen years old!
"Meet Her Royal Highness!" Twelve people bowed slightly to Li Siqi.
"No courtesy, this palace doesn't talk much nonsense, just talk to you about business!" Li Siqi glanced at the twelve people in front of him, and suddenly said, "I have a very dangerous but very exciting thing here, I don't know if you are willing to study it!" ”
"What is it?" The leader was the oldest middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man asked.
Li Siqi smiled indifferently and handed him a black book from his sleeve.
"The Gunpowder Manufacturing Act?"
The middle-aged man read the title of the book, then opened the book and began to read it carefully, and the other people next to him also stretched out their heads curiously to look at it. The middle-aged man pouted at first, then frowned slightly, suddenly exhaled again, and finally became extremely excited, and the people behind him became very excited after reading the book.
"Her Royal Highness, your subordinate Zhang Ming is willing to serve Her Royal Highness!" After the middle-aged man finished reading the book, he immediately clasped his fists at Li Siqi and bowed.
Seeing that these people were interested in studying this book, Li Siqi bowed slightly, and immediately said coldly: "If you succeed in researching, then you will be my hero of Great Xia, and this palace will have a heavy reward, but if this palace finds out that this book has been spread outside, then don't blame this palace...... Turn your face ruthlessly! ”
Li Siqi was not angry and self-assured, and his body was faintly scattered, so frightened that Zhang Ming and the others nodded again and again, and swore an oath: "Please rest assured, Your Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, we know the importance of this book, this will be a great weapon for me to dominate the Central Plains in Daxia, we are all patriots, and we are willing to serve Daxia and Her Royal Highness!" ”
"Okay, then the palace will wait for good news!" Li Siqi said with a smile.
Li Siqi and Zhang Ming and the others chatted in detail about the manufacture of gunpowder for a while, and then asked the public transport team to arrange their research base, the twelve of them are no longer suitable to live in the Juxian Pavilion, after all, the Juxian Pavilion is full of people, and they must find another secluded place to develop gunpowder!
……
In the next half a month, Li Siqi participated in the early dynasty normally, and went to the Houshan military camp to watch the soldiers train in his spare time, and the soldiers who had been tired for a long time watched Li Siqi's arrival, and instantly "resurrected with full blood", Li Siqi has become the goddess of war in the hearts of all the soldiers in the entire Great Xia since the battle of Tianshan Pass in the west and the extermination of aliens in the south! No, it should be said that Li Siqi has become a god in the hearts of the entire Great Xia down to the people of Li and up to the princes and ministers. I have long forgotten Li Siqi's identity as a woman, when a person is powerful to a certain level, gender is no longer important!
Recently, the Zhou family sent someone to send money again, and the methods of making money invented by Li Siqi before, especially Dream Blue, have already swept the entire Tianwu Continent! Even the Western Chu, as well as the powerful figures of the Eastern Han Dynasty, have thrown olive branches to the Zhou family, if the Zhou family is willing to move to another country for development, they promised a lot of unexpected benefits, but they were all rejected by Zhou Tianlong, and the Zhou family is now wholeheartedly supporting Li Siqi!
And Li Siqi naturally accepted this large amount of money unceremoniously, and donated all the gold and silver to the treasury, which made Emperor Xia Longyan happy, rewarded Li Siqi with a lot of gorgeous clothes and silk, etc., and also rewarded the generals under Li Siqi's command, all of whom were awarded the rank of five-grade general, not because Emperor Xia was stingy, but at the request of Li Siqi. Li Siqi plans to wait for himself to take the position and then reward him, if he gives it all at once, then what will he give later, in the end, it will be rewarded!
