The dark division was intensively preparing for the intelligence network, and Li Yu's new army recruitment was put on the agenda at the same time.

After more than half a year of production, there is a large inventory of pistols and mine cars produced by Shenjifang.

There were 3,000 pistols in stock and 200 mine carts.

Taking advantage of the fact that Zhu Quanzhong has no time to take care of himself now, it is important to quickly form three more regiments to enhance his strength.

The current situation is that Emperor Daddy is attracting firepower in Chang'an, and he is quietly developing in Nanyang.

By now, in half a year, the scale of the recruitment of displaced people has long exceeded their expectations.

When I first thought that recruiting 10,000 households a year would be almost enough. But in fact, seven or eight thousand households can be recruited in one month, and more than 40,000 households have been recruited in half a year, recruiting seven or eight of the landless people around them.

Now Nanyang has jurisdiction over Nanyang, Xiangcheng and Fangcheng counties, and at the end of the third year, the three counties have a total of 30,000 households, and the population has reached 100,000.

In June of the fourth year, there were 71,000 households and a population of 270,000.

The economic and trade exchanges between the three counties are frequent, and there is a sign of prosperity.

The displaced population is more than twice the local population, many of them are from Luoyang and the Central Plains, Li Yu is not very at ease with such displaced people, who knows if there is Zhu Quanzhong's fine work in it?

For this reason, the conscription is not recruited locally.

He sent a letter to Zhao Kuangming, the old man in Jingnan, hoping to recruit some barbarians in Jingnan to enrich his strength.

Zhao Kuangming took special care of his son-in-law and immediately agreed.

Li Xiong was entrusted with the important task of presiding over the recruitment.

The brute is small in size and agile in body, making him a proper mountain soldier.

Recruited 5,000 barbarians and brought them back to Nanyang.

Three infantry regiments, four mine-car battalions were formed.

In today's Nanyang Kingdom, there are five new-style infantry regiments, a sentry battalion, five thunder car battalions, 5,000 surrendered barbarians, and 5,500 elite soldiers supported by Jingxiang Jiedu Mansion. The total strength is eighteen thousand five. With such troops, it is enough to defend the place, but it is far from enough to start a war.

The entire military strength must be adjusted.

Fangchengguan originally had 10,000 town guards, and now retains 5,000, which is led by Zhou Wudu. There are 1,000 soldiers in Fangcheng County, led by Zhou Xu, he is Zhou Wu's younger brother, and he is also his own person. Xiangcheng County has a thousand soldiers, led by Li Zhendu, he is the second son of Li Huaixian, reliable. There are 1,000 soldiers in Yinshaling Town, led by Gao Luanping, who is Gao Shi's sister-in-law and is very talented.

There are two thousand soldiers in Nanyang Town, led by Wei Aidu, and Li Yu still trusts him very much.

These townsmen are old-fashioned troops.

The new army cannot all be deployed in Nanyang.

Fang Liang, the sentinel camp, was arranged outside Wuguan, Luyang Pass and Fangcheng Pass, mainly to investigate the enemy's situation.

A regiment of Fangxing was stationed in Nanyang.

The second regiment of Li Xiong was stationed in Xiangcheng.

Zhao Yu of the third regiment and Zhao Quan of the fourth regiment are stationed in Fangcheng, these two are the nephews of the Zhao family, recommended by Zhao Kuangning and Zhao Kuangming, and should be reliable.

The fifth regiment Wang Houju was stationed in Jutan, and this person was the second son of the late chief bookkeeper Wang Qian, and he was especially rewarded and promoted.

The focus of the troops is to prevent the north, and there is an old man in the south to take care of him, and he doesn't have to worry about it for the time being, which makes Li Yu's sense of security increase a lot.

As for the Lei Che Battalion, one battalion was stationed at Fangchengguan, and the others were concentrated in Nanyang in case of accidents.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Begging Festival.

In the front hall of the national mansion, Li Yu, Zhao Kuangning, and Zhao Kuangming, all of whom were seated, all looked anxious and seemed to have something on their minds.

The chief of the hall, Zhou Kuan, Sima Zhangge, Fu Peng Gaoshi, Li Huaixian, the public school sacrifice wine Zhang Jun, Wang Houxie, the secretary of the army, Wei Ai, the general Fang Xing, and the firearms Cao and the army Zhang Yi were all waiting anxiously.

No one spoke in the hall, and the candles flickered and flickered, reflecting the figures of everyone on the surrounding walls.

Pedal pedal ~~~

A rush of footsteps sounded, the three people in the upper seat all straightened up, and the civil and military who were turning around in the hall all stopped and looked at the door.

A backyard mother-in-law ran in in a panic and said to the three people in the hall: "Your Royal Highness, the two eldest lords, the princess, the princess ......."

"What's wrong?"

The three of them stood up and stared at the mother-in-law.

"Two princesses had a difficult birth......"

"Huh?!"

Li Yu was stupid all of a sudden.

You must know that in this era, women are exchanging their lives when they give birth, and there is little knowledge of gynecological health care at this time, and it is easy to have emergencies such as dystocia and hemorrhage.

"Ah, my son~~~"

The Zhao brothers sat on the couch with their butts and were at a loss.

Don't look at their usual power, it's useless to fart at this time.

"Quick, find Langzhong, hurry up and rescue!"

Li Yu was the first to react and roared sharply.

Fang Xing was the first to jump out, "I'll go!" "Drop a word and run away.

The woman cried and said, "I have invited all the famous doctors in the city and are rescuing them." ”

Li Yu and Zhao Kuangning and Zhao Kuangming had the intention to go and see, but the rules were that they couldn't go, and the three of them couldn't sit still at all, and went straight in circles in the lobby.

All the civil and military officers in the hall also became anxious.

Now the child conceived by the princess is crucial.

Li Yu can also be regarded as having some strength, the princes of the serious side, this lineage inheritance is very important, and their future depends on the little prince.

In Nanyang City, the chickens and dogs are jumping, and the attending doctors of the thirteen medical halls are not there, and they have already entered the palace.

This put Fang in a hurry, and went straight in circles on the street.

At this time, a green mantle ox cart swayed to Fang Xing's side, the curtain of the car was raised, and an old woman stretched out her head and asked, "Little general, but Princess De has a birth disease?" ”

Well?

"How do you know?"

"The old woman knows a little bit about it, can you go into the house and have a look?"

Now Fang Xing was already stunned, seeing that someone volunteered, of course he agreed, he thought the ox cart was too slow, and took the old woman to ride a horse first.

The old woman entered the backyard under the leadership of Fang Xing.

Fang Xing didn't find Lang Zhong and didn't dare to see Li Yu, so he lingered at the door of the backyard. He thought to himself that this time was over, the little prince was in danger, and the princess was also in great trouble, but he was helpless here, and just as he was mourning and complaining to himself, there was a loud cry in the backyard.

He was confused for a while, what was going on?

After a while, the mother-in-law who reported the news ran to the front hall with a jump.

"Eh, eh, what's going on? Wait for me! ”

Fang Xing followed and ran into the front hall.

"Your Highness, two great masters!"

Li Yu and the two fathers-in-law were full of despair, Li Yu's eyes were red, he looked at his mother-in-law, and opened his mouth without speaking.

Thinking that the two wives who were like flowers and jade were about to be gone, Li Yu's heart was like a knife.

He regretted it now.

If I had had intersex with them a few years later, wouldn't there have been dystocia?!

Blame me!

Zhao Kuangning asked in a choked voice, "Child...... Did the child survive? ”

Zhao Kuangming couldn't speak at all.

The two pearls in the palm of their hands died like this, how could they not make the father sad!

"Mother and son...... mother-in-law said, opening her mouth.

"What? Didn't keep it?! ”

Zhao Kuangming stared at the teary eyes, and his face was a little hideous.

"Ping...... Peaceful. ”

The mother-in-law swallowed her saliva and looked at the three people in front of her with a look of fear.

"Lord, lord, I hear the child's cry!"

Fang Xing rushed into the front hall and shouted loudly.

"You say...... What? ”

Li Yu was the first to react.

"I heard...... There are children crying......"

Fang Xing saw that the atmosphere was not right, and he was a little unsure.

"Come!"

Zhao Kuangning glared and pointed at his mother-in-law and shouted.

"The two princesses, mother and son are safe."

The mother-in-law finally said something awkward, and she breathed a sigh.

"Really?"

Li Yu looked incredulous.

"Yes...... It's true. ”

"Don't worry, talk slowly, what's going on?"

Zhao Kuangning now understands that her daughter is safe and the child is fine, so she put her mind at ease and asked her mother-in-law to explain the situation in detail.

"Well, I don't know...... An old lady suddenly appeared, and then she reached out to help, and then the little prince was born, and the princess was fine......"

The mother-in-law still has to be verbose, Li Yu has already understood.

When Fang Xing heard his mother-in-law say this, he sighed in his heart, old lady? It can't be the one I brought back, right?!

Li Yu looked up at Fang Xing, and said in his heart, didn't you go to find Lang Zhong? What's the deal with the old lady?

"Well, lord, I brought back an old lady, I don't know what happened."

Fang Xing looked aggrieved.

"Go, bring the old lady."

The mother-in-law took the order and went to the backyard.

Half an hour later, the mother-in-law led an old woman in green cloth in.

He has black hair, a red face, slightly convex cheekbones, bright eyes, solid walking steps, and a sound landing sound.

"The people's woman is shy, she has seen Suzi, and she has seen His Royal Highness King De."

"See Suzi, did you save the princess?"

Li Yu's eyes were blazing.

"The benevolence of the doctor is as it should be."

The old woman replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"So, you're a healer?"

"Yes, I know a little bit about medicine."

"Thank you for seeing Suzi save my concubine, I want to thank you heavily, do you have any requirements?"

"The women of the people have nothing to ask for."

Seeing Suzi smiled at Li Yu and said.

"Seeing that Suzi's medical skills are superb, and he should save all the people from fire and water, I am willing to open a medical center in Nanyang, and I will give my full support."

"Oh?"

The old woman's face changed slightly.

She has already written several medical books, but due to the troubled times, she has no money to publish books and educate people, so she can only travel the world and reach out to help patients when she encounters them. But how can you save yourself by yourself?

If it is really as King De said, it is really a merit.

"In this way, of course the women are willing to stay in Nanyang to treat the sick and save people."

"Haha, okay. See Suzi, this king has named you the royal doctor and the national doctor, and you are on the seventh grade. He is in charge of all medical affairs in Nanyang Kingdom. ”

All the civil and military officials in the hall looked at this old lady with a red face, this is an official? Or is it on the seventh grade?!

Li Yu thought in his heart, isn't this old lady sending her son Guanyin?!
