In May of the seventh year of Tianbao, the civil strife broke out in an all-round way, and the black-clothed Great Food rose in the northern province ******of Khorasan, and the uprising quickly swept the whole country. The Abbasids won the unanimous support of many of the rebel leaders and took the leadership of the Black Eaters. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Despite the outbreak of civil strife in the Great Food Country, the Silk Road between the East and the West was not broken, and merchants still frequently traveled back and forth between the East and the West with caravans.

Zhao Ziliang took this opportunity to raise the price of the big food horses, and made a big purchase, some businessmen frequently haunted the big food country to buy horses, and trafficked the purchased big food horses to the north court to find Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang did not say a word, all according to the original promise to buy according to the market price of double the purchase.

As a result, after other businessmen got the news, they went to the big food country to try their best to get the big food horses, and some businessmen even bribed the generals of the big food army to secretly traffick the war horses in the army out of the country to Beiting, Zhao Ziliang watched the tall and sturdy big food horses being sent by the merchants and sent to his own horse farm, and his mouth was crooked.

"General, general, two hundred more Great Eater Horses have arrived today, it's really good, up to now, we have more than 10,000 purebred Great Eater Horses, each of which is a first-class commodity!" Zheng San walked in refreshed and reported to Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang smiled when he heard this and said, "Okay, immediately arrange to send it to the horse farm, so that people can take care of it!" By the way, the matter of breeding must be paid attention to, within five years, the number of horses that the general will eat will reach 30,000! ”

Zheng San thought for a while and said, "We cultivate it ourselves and buy it from merchants, and we should be able to reach 50,000 horses in five years!" General, if we just use the big horses to form heavy cavalry, we don't need so much at all, the cost of forming heavy cavalry is too great, not to mention that the soldiers' weapons, armor, bows and arrows and horse armor require huge expenses, even the grain and grass of the horses is a huge expense, even if the general does the Beiting Festival, the soldiers and horses in his hands are up to 30,000 people, and it is enough to form 5,000 heavy cavalry, and it is too waste of food and grass to raise so many big horses! ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "Of course this general knows, but you didn't take into account the loss of war horses in the war, and not all big food horses can be used as heavy cavalry mounts, and the probability of big food horses being bred to be heavy cavalry war horses is not high." In order to be able to replenish in time after the battle loss, it is necessary to take enough war horse reserves, and in addition, the reserves of heavy cavalry knights must also be carried out! ”

Zheng San nodded, and arched his hand: "I understand, I will explain this matter to the leader of Yu Zhu and others who are responsible for the grazing and cultivation of war horses, they have selected some captives who can raise war horses and breed them from the big food captives to help take care of the big food horses and be responsible for breeding, and it should be no problem to complete the task assigned by the general within five years."

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "That's good!" By the way, how is the recruitment of soldiers and displaced people from the interior going? Heard that the first recruits and homeless people are almost here? ”

Zheng San said: "Yes, there are 5,000 soldiers in the first batch, from all over the country. The age meets the requirements of a general, all between the ages of sixteen and thirty-five. The first batch of displaced people had 12,000 people, a total of 4,000 households, including more than 8,000 men and more than 3,000 women! ”

"That's a lot of people, but the difference between men and women is too big!" Zhao Ziliang frowned as he spoke, and said, "I have to find a way to get more women over!" ”

"What the general said is very true, and his subordinates only found out after they reported the number of people, so they sent them a letter, asking them to recruit more women to come, even if they are children, the situation has become worse and worse in the past few years, a large number of farmers have lost their land, and there are many children in the family, they really can't support themselves, so they can only sell, and most of the people sold are girls, but the cost of getting girls in this way is too great!"

This cost is too big, and it involves human trafficking, as a person from the next generation, Zhao Ziliang is very repulsed in his heart, he thought about it, and said: "You can persuade the whole family of the displaced people to move over, we will pay for the journey, and distribute the acres according to the number of people in each household after coming!" If the ratio of men to women is too large, it is not conducive to the development of the population. ”

Zheng San bowed and said: "I understand, my subordinates will arrange for someone to send a letter back to the mainland as soon as possible, so that they can reconcile the ratio of men and women."

After half a year of operation, Zhao Ziliang has replaced the main generals of the Han Navy with his own people, seven of the eighteen cavalry of the whirlwind are the camp masters in the Han Navy, and the rest are still temporarily left by Zhao Ziliang's side to listen to it, Liu Wei served as the judge of the Han Navy, Dugu Jun served as the long history, Chen Qing is still the marching Sima, Wang Can is still the chief general of the scout battalion, and concurrently leads the position of the leader of the Tianyan spy network, and Gong Ren is the lieutenant general of the Military Justice Division.

On the eighth day of the fifth month of the seventh year of Tianbao (748 AD), Bai Xiaode, who was a ranger general in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and Fugu Huai'en came to Zhao Ziliang's home in Beiting.

The two and Zhao Ziliang have not seen each other for a long time, although Anxi and Beiting are not very far, but they are not close, and there is still a Tianshan Mountain Range in the middle, and they want to meet for more than half a month, but over the years, the two and Zhao Ziliang have exchanged letters, and the relationship between teachers and students has always been there.

In the evening of this day, Zhao Ziliang had just returned from the inspection of the Han Navy barracks, and when he walked into the house, he met the housekeeper Wang Ru, who bowed his hand and said: "The general is back, Bai Xiaode and Fugu Huaien, two generals, came from Qiuzi, just arrived in the afternoon, and have been waiting for the general!" They are now playing with the two little boys and young ladies in the martial arts training ground! ”

Zhao Ziliang was stunned when he heard this, "Why are they here at this time?" It's not close to here from Qiuzi Town! ”

Wang Ru said: "This subordinate doesn't know."

Zhao Ziliang nodded, turned around and walked towards the martial arts training ground, and after a while, when he came to the martial arts training ground, he saw two young strong men in armor fighting with Zhao Lei and Zhao Ting respectively, the youngest daughter Zhao Xue watched from the sidelines, and kept jumping and clapping her hands, they were Bai Xiaode and Fugu Huaien, Bai Xiaode used a big knife, and it was Zhao Lei who was fighting.

Although Zhao Lei was only eight years old, he was born with divine power, and after he practiced martial arts for a period of time, Zhao Ziliang found that he liked to make Fang Tian draw halberds, so he went to visit Xue Rengui's youngest son, General Xue Chuyu, before leaving Beijing, and asked him for Fang Tian's halberd painting halberd. Xue Chuyu once served as the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, only because his eldest brother Xue Na was ostracized by conservatives during the military reform, and he was also implicated and accused of dereliction of duty, so he was dismissed, and he has been idle at home all these years, Xue Chuyu admired Zhao Ziliang more, and learned that he was seeking the halberd method for his son Zhao Lei, and he also personally saw Zhao Lei's roots, and also found that this child was indeed a good seedling for Fang Tian to draw a halberd, so he passed the halberd method to Zhao Lei.

Now Zhao Lei is using a Fang Tian painting halberd weighing fifteen catties, which is relatively light for a strength-type general, but don't forget that he is only eight years old.

In terms of strength, Zhao Lei at this time is not as good as Bai Xiaode, Bai Xiaode himself is a powerful general, and he is also a fierce general in the army, otherwise Zhao Ziliang would not have let him be his chief of guard, and Zhao Lei has little experience in the enemy, so he has always been at a disadvantage and was pressed and beaten by Bai Xiaode, but Bai Xiaode has a good grasp of proportion, which not only does not make Zhao Lei feel that he is invincible, but also gives Zhao Lei great pressure.

Zhao Ting's strength is not as good as his brother, but it is not much smaller, and it is much stronger than his brother Zhao Lei in terms of reaction speed, flexibility and intelligence, Zhao Ting's horse lance, the horse lance is also a long weapon used by power-type generals, but it also requires high flexibility and reaction speed to use, he inherited Zhao Ziliang's martial arts, Zhao Ziliang taught him his lance method, but with his current strength, it is not enough to use a super heavy weapon like the golden nail jujube yang lance.

Zhao Ting used a ten-pound horse lance, although he was young, but his combat effectiveness could not be underestimated, and he almost suffered a loss in his hands, he made a horse lance out of nowhere, and completely inherited one of Zhao Ziliang's characteristics on the golden nail jujube yang lance - tricky and ruthless, to make the horse lance tricky and ruthless, the dexterity of strength must reach a certain level. From this point of view, although Zhao Ting is not as strong as his elder brother Zhao Lei, his control of power is greater than that of his elder brother.

The four of them fought for hundreds of rounds, and finally Zhao Lei and Zhao Ting both jumped out of the battle circle to admit defeat, Bai Xiaode said with a smile: "The eldest prince's Fang Tian painting halberd has already achieved a small success, and over time, it will definitely be able to defeat me, and maybe even beat the general."

Servant Bone Huaien said with a frightened look: "I was almost stabbed into a hole by the third prince just now, and the third prince already has two points of the general's skill in the drill camp of the lance method!" ”

Zhao Ting pursed his lips, "Hmph, it's only two points of skill, I'm already seven years old, and when I grow to fourteen, won't I only have four points of my father's strength?" At the age of twenty-one, I will have six points of my father's strength, and when I am twenty-one years old, I will not grow my strength, so will I never be able to catch up with my father? ”

When everyone around heard this, they immediately laughed, Zhao Ting was still just a child after all, his mother Nie Sanniang couldn't help but pat her head and smiled: "Silly boy, this is not the case, as long as you are willing to work hard, you must be able to surpass your father!" ”

Zhao Ting touched his head: "Really?" Then I got it! ”

Bai Xiaode and Fugu Huaien found that Zhao Ziliang was standing behind the servants, and they didn't know when they came, so they hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects: "Meet the general, I don't know that the general has returned, I didn't salute in time, please forgive the general!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, there's no need to be polite!" As long as friends from the army come to visit, these two children have to ask them for advice, so many friends dare not come, hoping that they will not cause you trouble."

The two hurriedly said: "No trouble, no trouble!" People who practice martial arts are to continue to challenge the masters, when we did not ask the general for advice, did not make trouble for the general, today can give the two little sons as a sparring partner, that is our honor, with the martial arts and blessings of the two sons, in the future will definitely grow into such a heroic person as the general, descendants said, we also know that we have accompanied the son to practice martial arts, we also have a glorious face! ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "I see, you have not made much progress in martial arts in Anxi in the past few years, but you have learned to flamboyant!" ”

The two of them touched their heads embarrassedly and smirked.

Zhao Ziliang said to the three children: "You guys play by yourself, pay attention to proportions when practicing, don't hurt each other!" ”

After speaking, he said to Chen Qingying: "Ask someone to prepare dinner, add a few dishes, I will have two cups of wine with Xiaode and Huaien, and prepare some tea to send to the lobby!" ”

Chen Qingying promised: "No! (To be continued.) )
