Zhang Keda returned to the provincial government office and immediately ordered the Denglai soldiers and the seven guards to prepare for war, and to gather in Dengzhou within ten days, and the outdated military law was ruthless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time, if there are still people who disobey the yin and yang and procrastinate in their actions, Zhang Keda doesn't mind taking the opportunity to clean up the two thorns, so that Qiu Ba of this guard can be cleaned up.

As for the Denglai soldiers, they were all under the control of Zhang Keda's descendants, and he ordered the Dengzhou battalion and the Laizhou battalion to send 1,000 cavalry and 1,000 foot soldiers each, leaving 1,000 cavalry and 1,000 foot soldiers to garrison Denglai in case of accidents.

Zhang Keda immediately ordered people to unify the food and salary spent on this trip, which must be supplied by the royal court, since he wants to be promoted to the next level, he has to pay, Zhang Keda went desperately on this trip, let the royal court style give some money and food, once it is successful, it can be promoted but there are countless benefits, I believe that the royal court style can be broken.

Moreover, without the corresponding money and food, how can he support these soldiers, you must know that this is a confrontation with the notorious Jiannu, and there is no sufficient food and salary to maintain, and if he can't get out of Dengzhou, most of the soldiers will be scattered.

Besides, when they arrived in Gyeonggi, where to receive their salaries, and when there were a few cities that dared to open the city to put them in and supply them with food, you must know that the soldiers were like bandits, and the gentry had always been afraid of the soldiers like tigers.

In the end, Zhang Keda specially ordered the capital to know Jinghaiwei, and Zhao Lie, a thousand households in the left thousand households, sent a thousand troops to go out with the army, although Zhang Keda is the name of the commander of the capital of Denglai, however, he is a temporary generation at the moment, and Zhang Keda does not want to get too involved in the miscellaneous affairs of Denglaiwei, after all, he will be transferred from Denglai one day sooner or later, which is a common practice.

And the guards are all military households who have lived in the world for more than 100 years, and there are many entanglements. Right and wrong are constant. So Zhang Keda asked several people to command Tongzhi and Zhenfu to be responsible for general affairs. I am out of it.

In charge of the general affairs of the Denglai Metropolitan Division is Tang Qian, who has served as the commander of the capital for more than ten years, and then there is Yang Jingtang, who is responsible for military inspection, drills, and food and salary, and Li Youde, who is responsible for tuntian and treasury.

When Zhang Keda's edict arrived at Dusi, Tang Qian was surprised, he summoned Yang Jingtang,

"Lord Yang, this is your duty, according to Mr. Zhang's meaning, you can post it." Li Youde said with a smile. He knew about Yang Jingtang's grievances with the Zhao family, and at that time, in front of Li Song, Zhao Haiming slapped Yang Jingtang in the face in public, and he was present.

Yang Jingtang Zhang Luo asked Chang Runing to serve as the commander of Jinghaiwei, and a discerning person could know his intention to plot Shidao at a glance. He didn't recruit Li Youde because Li Youde was familiar with Zhao Haiming. Moreover, this is also Yang Jingtang's responsibility.

Yang Jingtang looked at Zhang Keda's warrant and was overjoyed, he thought that Zhang Keda, the domineering general of the Yanei, had offended him ruthlessly, and let a thousand households and the same guard station send 1,000 troops, or fight against Jiannu. This is not what Zhao Lie, this kid offended Master Zhang.

Yang Jingtang has been very depressed in recent days because Chang Runing no longer dealt with Zhao Lie. Painstakingly operated Chang Runing to the position of Jing Haiwei's commander, Chang Runing just made a gesture and stopped playing, it was too maddening, Yang Jingtang already regarded Chang Runing as an enemy, and his son's actual position was definitely flying.

Chang Runing also came to the door to explain what Zhang Keda valued Zhao Lie, so that he was also half-convinced, bah, so valuing a military general is to let him die together, there is such an important thing, good you Chang Runing, we are not finished.

Yang Jingtang's military order was brought into play on the basis of Zhang Keda, and Zhao Lie was ordered to lead at least 1,000 soldiers with complete armor to go out with the general town.

This military order was to humiliate Zhao Lie, he knew that it was a fantasy to let a thousand households send troops at full capacity, and it was a blessing to have 700 soldiers.

But Zhao Lie doesn't have a good old man, let his command make his father have more soldiers, I believe that Zhang Keda doesn't mind his subordinates leading more soldiers and horses out of battle, this is also to enhance his strength.

Zhao Lie didn't know the situation in Dengzhou, he just knew that the troops sent by Qianhu must have their number, as far as the current situation of him and Chang Runing is concerned, this is a sure thing.

Zhao Lie's priority now is to grasp the drills of the Broken Army and wait for the order to be requisitioned.

Most of these war horses in front of them are about one meter and a half tall, much taller than Mongolian horses, most of the colors are gray and brown, the legs are long and the waist is thin, the body shape is beautiful, and the muscles and bones are exposed.

"My lord, these nearly 600 horses are all stallions, horses born from the breeding of Andalusian war horses and Mongolian horses, they are just over three years old this year, less than four years old, and the other stallions and mares stay in the Jeju ranch to continue breeding." Wang Haizhou reports.

Zhao Lie heard that hundreds of war horses from Andalusian and Mongolian horses had joined the cavalry, and hurriedly came to watch.

"This horse is much faster than the Mongolian horse in two miles, but according to the daily march, this horse has to run about a few miles less than the Mongolian horse, which has been tried many times in Jeju." Wang Haizhou said carefully.

"Can this horse adapt to the cold weather?" Zhao Lie asked.

"It is said that this horse is also allowed to be in the wild every day in winter according to the instructions of the adults, and only enters the stable in the extremely cold season, but Jeju is much warmer in winter than in Liaodong, so it is difficult to say." Wang Haizhou said.

Zhao Lie nodded, it will take time for these horses to fully adapt to the cold of Liaodong.

However, there is no problem in riding in the pass at the moment.

Zhao Lie ordered to move out five war horses and race horses with five Mongolian horses, these horses galloped, the front and rear legs were greatly retracted, and the movements were chic and graceful, and the Mongolian horses were thrown out more than ten zhang in one mile, and the gap in two miles reached more than thirty zhang, which was really galloping like lightning.

Zhao Lie was satisfied, after all, there was no spare money for Jinshan Yinshan, and today, four years later, he finally saw some results.

"My lord, the Jeju craftsman battalion has made leather armor for this horse, so that the horses also have armor, and their defense has been greatly increased." Wang Haizhou saw Zhao Lie's happy expression and added to the fire.

"Oh," Zhao Lie was surprised, and even the vest came out, "Take me a look." "This has to be taken a good look, if the armor's defense is very good, it will give the horses more chances to save their lives under the rain of arrows from Jiannu.

Wang Haizhou beckoned his soldiers to put on leather armor for several war horses,

"My lord, this horse is tall and powerful, and can bear weights, so the leather armor is made of double cowhide. Able to block the attacks of the Nurnu's arrows. However, even heavy arrows can still pierce leather armor. But. If it is iron armor, the horsepower is still insufficient, and it is not enough to consume. ”

Of course, Zhao Lie knew that if it was a purebred Andalusian war horse with a slightly inferior body shape of the Ming people than the Caucasians, it would still be possible for everyone to wear iron armor, and this hybrid horse was still shorter than the Andalusian war horse, and the horsepower was a little worse, and Zhao Lie was already satisfied to be able to put on leather armor.

Zhao Lie ordered someone to shoot the horse armor with a stone bow at fifty paces, and the arrow only barely broke through the leather armor, thirty paces. It can be inserted half an inch, and if it is a heavy arrow, it will penetrate deep into the armor, but the horse's muscles are strong and heavy, as long as it is not a horse's legs, the horse's head and other places with less muscles, it is only a wound of flesh and skin.

Zhao Lie laughed, named this horse Shidao Horse, and immediately ordered to reward the craftsmen with five silver coins each, and the horse farm and others with one hundred silver coins each.

There is hope that the cavalry of their own army will become an army, although the horses that are bred at the cost of silver money are about the same as the Mongolian horses that are purchased. However, Zhao Lie could use the horsepower of this horse to make up for the lack of cavalry combat power. The condescending cavalry with men and horses is not only a half-hung cavalry with men and horses and a bare plate that can be contended with, but of course it must be trained.

Today's soldiers still can't skillfully use weapons on horses, and they have to rely on formation to defeat the outnumbered with the crowd to have a chance of winning.

Since the horses are newly joined, the men and horses still have to run in for half a month before they can go into battle, so the riding is always the hardest these days, not only to keep the men and horses running in and training, but also to make the cavalry and their respective war horses familiar with each other, and some are busy.

Zhao Lie looked around and saw that everyone was very busy, so she went back to her house, she was about to go on the expedition, and she had to accompany Alexandra well, but recently she was worried about Zhao Lie's battle, and she was a little uneasy.

Alexandra is sewing ** for Zhao Lie, her needlework is not very good, the earlier needlework was arranged by Marta, after arriving in Shidao, in order to take care of the orphans in the orphanage, she learned needlework, and now she is a veteran.

Today, she is finishing up for Zhao Lie's **, Zhao Lie doesn't like satin**, therefore, the ** that Alexandra sewed for him is Songjiang white oblique cloth, thick and sweat-absorbing.

Alexandra finally finished, she bit off the needle and thread with her teeth, unfolded her clothes to see what was wrong, and suddenly she felt a little something, looked to the side, and saw Zhao Lie standing there with a smile, "Lie, when did you come back, why don't you say anything." ”

Zhao Lie put his arm around her, "I just came back from the barracks, I came to see you, I didn't expect you to still sew clothes, it's hard work." ”

Alexandra heard Zhao Lie's thanks, and her heart was sweet.

"Lie, you try it on."

"Okay, wait for me to see the lady's craftsmanship." Zhao Lie laughed and said, he didn't expect that his daughter-in-law would finally thread the needle for him in his two lives, and he felt very appropriate.

Zhao Lie was about to change his clothes, only to see Alexandra cover her mouth with her hand, come to the spittoon indoors, and retched a few times.

"What, Yali, I'm not feeling well today." Zhao Lie said with concern that a minor illness is also a big deal in this era.

"Somehow, I've been sick since this morning, and I'm always nauseous." Alexandra frowned slightly.

Zhao Lie had no experience in later life, but he had seen a lot, he suspected that Alexandra was pregnant, and did not rule out the possibility that Alexandra was unwell, so he hurriedly asked people to find Mr. Wang from Shidao Medical Center.

After Mr. Wang came, he solemnly checked Alexandra's pulse, this is the mother of Shidao, and he should not be careless, but as the pulse diagnosis progressed, the corners of Mr. Wang's mouth were slightly upturned.

After he slowly put away the utensils, he got up and bowed, "Congratulations to my lord, congratulations to my wife, my wife is a happy pulse." ”

Zhao Lie was so anxious, but he met a chronic son, and he was speechless, but he was also very happy when he heard the happy pulse, how could he not be happy after the first time in his two lives.

Whether Alexandra is happy and healthy, or pregnant, is really happy.

"Come on, see the reward." Zhao Lie shouted.

"My lord, how much will you be rewarded?" It was the black man Yu Dabao who came in, and he asked ignorantly.

Damn, Zhao Lie hates that iron is not steel, and he uses a little Yu Dabao with his hands, when will he be clever, "Reward Mr. Wang with ten taels of silver." ”

"Yes, sir." Yu Dabao replied.

"Thank you, sir," Mr. Wang arched his hand, "Madame's pulse is strong, just pay a little attention, if you feel unwell, Wang can listen to it at any time." ”

Zhao Lie sent someone to send Mr. Wang back to the hospital.

Zhao Lie rewarded each person with two taels of silver, and celebrated together with dinner in the evening.

Zhao Meng also immediately went back to the house to visit his younger siblings, which was also the first person in the three generations of the old Zhao family.

"Second brother, I have to be happy with Wei Poster, my father and mother don't know how surprised they are when they find out." Zhao Meng said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I expect to go on the expedition immediately, and then report when I pass through Weihai, but the eldest brother's marriage has to be hurried, and my younger brother and my children are all there." Zhao Lie persuaded. He knew that Zhao Meng was scared by Zhao Qin's marriage and blind date everywhere, and Zhao Meng hated others for talking about his disability, so he never mentioned marriage.

"As soon as possible, I am also very envious of you and my younger siblings." Zhao Meng was also relieved.

Zhao Lie was overjoyed, the eldest brother finally got his senses. (To be continued.) )
