Chapter 33: The Spectacle of the Moment
In the room, the lively scene just now has returned to calm, and Cheng Yanjin, who had just lost his temper with Zhao Chen, has already left the room with Lao Qin and the three of them, and at this time, it is estimated that he has gone to the palace to find Li Er to discuss.
Therefore, in the room at this time, only Li Chengqian and Zhao Chen were left.
Looking out the window on the playground, the sixteen guards who were being assessed held back for a long time, Li Chengqian couldn't help it, turned his head to look at Zhao Chen and asked, "Can you be sure that there are countless golden sands in Nanban, right?" ”
"Didn't say anything for sure!" Zhao Chen originally looked out the window, but when he heard Li Chengqian's words, he couldn't help but turn around, met Li Chengqian's somewhat uneasy gaze, and said: "I only said that Nanban is rich in golden sand!" ”
"It's done!" When Li Chengqian heard Zhao Chen's words, he subconsciously twitched, and then spread his hands helplessly at Zhao Chen and said: "Anyway, now it's all according to your intentions, as for where the father is, whether he agrees or not, it's none of my business!" ”
"Your Majesty will definitely agree when you hear this!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he said something in his mouth, looked out of the window again, and said: "The land of the Nanban border, the Tang Dynasty will pass sooner or later, it is impossible for Your Majesty not to know the importance of the Nanban border!" ”
And just as Zhao Chen said to Li Chengqian at this moment, in fact, everything in the room just now was planned by him and Li Chengqian, and the purpose was naturally to tilt the attention of Jiangmen to the southern barbarian border.
Zhao Chen came from the later generations, and naturally knew that southern Xinjiang was rich in golden sand, and what he urgently needed now was gold, and with a large amount of gold, the time machine in the gate of time and space would be able to speed up the upgrade.
So, this time I had to do it. Taking the opportunity of the assessment of the new army, taking advantage of this hard work, you can tilt your attention to southern Xinjiang, and with the help of the generals, you can obtain a large amount of gold.
Count it up. So far, he has also done a lot of things for Jiangmen, just the military academy, it has paved a lot of roads for Jiangmen in the future, this time, it should be a return from Jiangmen to him!
Of course, the attraction will be the door over. It's not just for gold, the southern frontier has an extraordinary status for Datang.
Don't look at today's southern Xinjiang, it is only a more primitive place than Lingnan, and many tribes there only survive on the prey of the mountains and forests. in the most primitive social structure.
However, such a form. Only, for a few more decades!
The tribes there began to undergo a fundamental change gradually, and many originally loose tribes began to gradually become unified and powerful, and then became the country of Nanzhao in history.
Then. It's Datang's turn, and it's a headache!
And now, while the tribe in southern Xinjiang has not really become strong, the Tang Dynasty has taken control early. Both can be obtained. The gold he wanted, Datang was able to control southern Xinjiang one step earlier.
And if he has more gold, he can take out more weapons and equip more Tang troops, which is really a triple win, why not do it!
Therefore, at this time, the attention of the stabbing and stimulating the gate was tilted towards the southern frontier, and this deal, no matter from that aspect, was quite cost-effective.
It's just that even if you know that there are considerable interests in this, but this matter is not easy for Zhao Chen to mention to Li Er personally, if it is self-defeating, then everything will be over!
And just as Zhao Chen and Li Chengqian were talking in the room, a soldier from the Flying Tiger Army suddenly came to report, saying that it was a customized military uniform, and at this time, they had all arrived at the gate of the military academy, waiting for Zhao Chen's acceptance.
As soon as Zhao Chen heard this, he immediately ordered the soldier to go and greet the men and horses transporting the military uniforms in, and he himself, after ordering the soldier, followed Li Chengqian and went down to the attic.
As early as when he was in the Ganlu Palace, Zhao Chen had told Li Er that the army to be established this time was completely different, and it needed a complete blood exchange.
And this exchange of blood naturally includes the matter of military uniforms, otherwise, it is difficult for Zhao Chen to imagine the picture of a group of soldiers in heavy armor, holding Mauser rifles, charging into battle.
The military uniform has long been entrusted to someone to make it, and it is still the style provided by Zhao Chen, but the cloth required is provided by Li Chengqian's textile factory.
Now, Li Chengqian's textile factory has gradually stepped on the right track!?
The fabrics produced in it, Zhao Chen has also personally inspected, although the quality cannot be compared with the ones in his supermarket, but it is also made locally in Datang.
The person who commissioned the sewing of military uniforms this time is not a stranger, it is the mother of Wheat, and now she is also Chang'an, the female shopkeeper of the largest retail store, and it feels quite magical.
At the beginning, in order to have a place to live, he did not hesitate to sell wheat again, and later when he was completely down, he was forgiven by wheat, and then received Zhao Chen's funding.
Step by step, she has gradually changed from selling sugar gourds along the street to the female shopkeeper of the retail store.
Of course, the attention of this retail store is still helped by Zhao Chen, and the reason why Zhao Chen will help so much is actually very simple.
That is this woman, who once knelt down to him in private with a large sum of money, hoping to use the money to redeem the wheat from the Hou Mansion, so that the wheat could really be the little master of the mansion.
Everyone in this world makes mistakes, minor or severe, big or small, some mistakes are forgivable, and some mistakes are unforgivable.
But for Wheat's mother, when kneeling to him in private, Zhao Chen still chose to forgive this woman's mistakes, because he couldn't refuse a mother's journey of atonement.
It's just that the only thing that is a little surprising is that Wheat refuses to go back, even in the Hou Mansion, Zhao Chen has removed the name of Wheat, and Wheat is still in the Hou Mansion and refuses to go back.
In the military courtyard, there is naturally a large warehouse, and when Zhao Chen and Li Chengqian came down from the attic, they saw from a distance that two large carts full of neat military uniforms were heading towards the warehouse over there.
And behind the two carts, the wheat mother in a plain skirt, together with the wheat in a lake-green skirt, also followed the cart and came towards the warehouse.
The military academy is the military center of the Tang Dynasty. Idlers can't wait, especially the female dependents, the wheat mother and daughter, this is the first time to open to the military academy.
"The two thousand military uniforms ordered by Hou Ye have been sewn!" Wait until Zhao Chen and Li Chengqian arrive at the door of the warehouse. The two big cars had already stopped there, looking at Zhao Chen who was strolling, there was a happy expression on his face, and he was smiling at Zhao Chen from afar.
However, Mai's mother-in-law, who was standing next to Wheat, lowered her head in panic, and waited until Zhao Chen and the two walked in front of her, and then said in a panic.
It's no wonder that the wheat mother is so flustered. When he saw Zhao Chen, he was a little afraid, and he was here at this time, the heavily guarded military academy, and more importantly, next to Zhao Chen, there was still the second leader of the empire.
It's just an ordinary woman, in this case. It's already a very rare thing to be able to speak!
Wheat has always been Zhao Chen's personal maid. Naturally, he is no stranger to Li Chengqian, and every time Li Chengqian comes to the Hou Mansion, there is no distinction between respect and inferiority between him and Zhao Chen, and over time, wheat does not have much fear of Li Chengqian.
Thus. Hearing her mother's words, Mai suddenly smiled at Zhao Chen and added: "My mother is afraid that two thousand pieces will not be enough, so I have added more than sixty pieces!" ”
"Well, that's a good idea!" Hearing wheat's words, Zhao Chen immediately smiled at wheat. The mother who looked at the wheat said.
Seeing the wheat mother, Zhao Chen instantly lowered his head, Zhao Chen couldn't help but laugh, and then took down a neatly folded military uniform from the car.
The military uniform is completely customized according to Zhao Chen's intentions, however, considering the factors of this era, Zhao Chen is not too avant-garde when he is finalized.
Therefore, the designed military uniform, the upper body is a knee-length short robe, the lower body is a pair of fat pants, with a belt, a pair of leather boots, this is the full set of military uniforms of the Datang New Army.
The workmanship of the military uniform is extremely fine, and the double rows of threads used in the stitching are definitely a lot of effort, Zhao Chen picked up one of them, looked at it inside and out, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Wheat, that's a good girl!" After handing over the military uniform, looking at the mother and daughter of the wheat who had left from a distance, Li Chengqian suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhao Chen with strange eyes and said.
"And then?" When Zhao Chen heard Li Chengqian's words, the person who originally looked down at a set of military uniforms couldn't help but raise his head, met Li Chengqian's gaze, and asked with a blank expression.
“… Not going to accept it? Li Chengqian was stared at by Zhao Chen's gaze, and he was a little hairy, and he was in a pit for a long time, and then he looked at Zhao Chen and said.
"Well, I'll ask for the opinion of Xia Xiangcheng when I go back!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he lowered his head expressionlessly, and said without looking back: "I said that the prince suggested so!" ”
"Rely on it!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, the muscles on Li Chengqian's face suddenly twitched vigorously, and then he raised his middle finger at Zhao Chen fiercely, and said viciously in his mouth.
The conscription work finally came to an end after two days of elimination, and after two days of continuous elimination of thousands of people, only more than 1,800 remained.
And these more than 1,800 people, of which nearly 1,500 people, are from the Sixteen Guards, and the remaining very few are those ordinary people outside.
The strict elimination mechanism, the last remaining people, can be regarded as the real leaders!
At this time, Zhao Chen stood on the huge playground of the Military Academy, facing the remaining more than 1,800 people after the elimination in front of him, and said loudly: "It's an honor that after two days of elimination, you can continue to stand here, for this reason, I want to welcome you on behalf of the Military Academy!" ”
On the playground, on a temporary platform, Zhao Chen stood there, looked down and said loudly: "From today onwards, you will be part of this military academy, and in the future, you will follow the Flying Tiger Army and the Xuanjia Army to receive high-intensity training in the military academy...?"
When he said this, Zhao Chen's tone suddenly paused slightly, then looked at the more than 1,800 people in front of him, and continued to say loudly: "Maybe you will become a real elite army, invincible on the battlefield, so that when the enemy hears your name, he will immediately abandon his weapons and surrender!" ”
"But now, you are just an ordinary soldier in the military academy, whether you were once born in the Sixteenth Guard, or you have just become a soldier!" Zhao Chen looked down and still said loudly: "But in the next few days, you will all receive the strongest training in the military academy, and I, Zhao Chen, the Marquis of Chang'an, who His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty personally proclaimed, will be your instructor in the days to come!" ”
"I'm not going to be soft-hearted!" When Zhao Chen said later, he suddenly raised his voice, and almost shouted at the more than 1,800 soldiers in front of him: "Among you, if anyone can't stand it, then I can tell you that you can get out of here at any time, because don't be soft here in the military academy!" ”
Zhao Chen's words reached the ears of more than 1,800 people in the playground from afar, and when they heard Zhao Chen's sonorous and powerful words, the soldiers on the playground, who were still a little ruffian, suddenly straightened their waists.
"Dugumou!" Seeing more than 1,000 people who straightened their waists all of a sudden, and were in good spirits, Zhao Chen suddenly turned his head, and said loudly at Dugumou over there: "Distribute military uniforms!" ”
"Whoa!" Dugu Mou, who had been waiting for a long time over there, immediately shouted when he heard Zhao Chen's words, and then, the people with the Flying Tiger Army began to take the military uniforms they had just received from the treasury and distribute them to the soldiers below one by one.
The new military uniforms are different from the current military uniforms of Datang, and there are fundamental changes between the two, at this time, everyone who got the military uniforms distributed by Dugumou and others looked at the new military uniforms in their hands, with a curious look on their faces.
"Dress up!" It took about half an hour, Dugu Mou and others had already sent more than 1,000 sets of military uniforms to the soldiers below, and when all the distribution was completed, Zhao Chen, who was standing on the platform, suddenly shouted at the soldiers below.
"Change here?"
Hearing Zhao Chen's order, the soldiers who were still holding military uniforms just now and were full of curiosity suddenly raised their heads one by one and looked at Zhao Chen on the stage in confusion, as if they were wondering if they had heard it wrong.
No one spoke, and at this moment, everyone, including Zhao Chen, looked at the soldiers below silently, as if they were waiting for the reaction below.
"Change!" However, this state did not last long, and Xue Rengui, who was among more than a thousand soldiers, took the lead in putting the military uniform in his hand on the ground, and said through gritted teeth.
Then, under the surprised gaze of the surrounding soldiers, he divided five by two, and took off all the robes on his body.
When he left only one pair of sinus pants, the look on his face couldn't help but hesitate slightly, and finally took off his sinus pants, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, he picked up the military uniform on the ground, and put it on his body as if no one was around.
"Change!" With Xue Rengui taking the lead, the remaining soldiers, in one by one and gritted their teeth, learned from Xue Rengui's appearance, removed all the robes on their bodies, and put on new military uniforms one by one.
It was just a few words before and after, and more than 1,800 people below immediately changed into military uniforms and lined up neatly on the playground, and the spectacular scene of thousands of people was finally presented in front of Zhao Chen at this moment.
At this moment, Zhao Chen's slightly stern face finally showed a smile, because such a spectacular scene in front of him was exactly what he hoped to see in Datang! (To be continued.) )
