Chapter 2 The Tiger Guard New Army
Since the re-establishment of the Tiger Guard Army, the Tiger Guard camp in the south of the city, which has been cold and deserted for more than ten years, has begun to be lively again.
The Tiger Guard Army was re-established and divided into two wings, the left wing commander was the nominal commander of the Tiger Guard Army, Hou Zi Qin Zhao, and the right wing commander was Sun Yang, the deputy commander of the Tiger Guard Army and the commander of the Qiyang City Guard.
From this personnel arrangement, I also know that Qin Hou is in the lineage, and now the talent has withered to what extent.
With Xu Le's accidental appearance, this guy who was a little ignorant and fearless to Donghua actually severely frustrated the arrogant and domineering prestige of the Rui Shi Army, and boosted the morale of the people of Qiyang. And the Marquis of Yan took advantage of the situation to make Qin Hou make a decision. Rui Shijun was a little at a loss for a while, but it was conceivable that Heyang Jun, who had been covering the sky in the Qin State for more than ten years, would inevitably take action on such a major matter.
Taking advantage of the fact that Heyang Jun and his family will inevitably have to discuss countermeasures and make a response. Yanhou Nu, who single-handedly led the re-establishment of the Tiger Guard, also lived in the Tiger Guard camp under the human guard, and almost never slept before she took care of it.
Seize this short time, the Tiger Guards can grow by one point, and the possibility of gaining a firm foothold is one point greater!
The Tiger Guard Camp is a stretch of buildings in the south of the city, with two large and small school fields facing each other, surrounding the school field, which is a circle of barracks. In addition to the barracks, there are also outbuildings such as houses, stables, arsenals, etc. Outside these buildings, there is a long wall that encloses the Tiger Guard camp, and there is a watchtower arrow tower along the wall, which is like a defensive fortress outside Qiyang City.
In the past ten days, how many craftsmen have been summoned to rebuild some of the collapsed barracks, clean up the school grounds that were originally full of grass and garbage, and repair the damaged parts of the wall.
In more than ten days, in addition to the more than 500 elites of the Sun family's private army who were transferred from the city guard army to the tiger guard army as a whole. There are also those small lords of Qiyang who are attached to the Marquis of Qin, who are close to the public scholars and the people's class, who have sacrificed one or two thousand private troops, and these small lords who have contributed to the private army have also obtained military positions such as the head of the Qu Tun in the Tiger Guard Army.
In addition to these strengths, the Qiyang Qin people, who were common people, were recruited to be strong, and they got six or seven hundred barely qualified warriors. At present, the two wings of the Tiger Guard Army together have a scale of nearly 3,000 people.
But I don't know how much we have to do to really train these more than 3,000 patchwork troops into a strong army. Delineate the system, and appoint the position according to the quantity. Needless to say, Sun Yang is a family with the same breath as Yanhou Nu and Qin Zhao. Those minor lords who can sacrifice their tribes must be rewarded, in addition to their positions in the Tiger Guard, they must also be given additional fields. For those warriors who are common people in the army, each of them must be given a knighthood of at least one subordinate knighthood, and they must be given a field of farmland.
Among the thousands of people, except for the Sun family's private army, which was fully equipped, all the other horses had to be equipped with ordnance, armor, and mounts. This is another big expense to be freed up.
After barely equipping themselves, they must also be taught to fight in battle, equipped with warlocks in the army, and all the attack tools and combat equipment must be fully funded. It is even more necessary to count on the Shi family to send the elite of the Yi'er Army as the backbone and take these Tiger Guards for a while, so that they can be barely used at that time!
After the Marquis moved to the Tiger Guard camp, she lived in the highest part of the two-story building originally prepared for the commander of the Tiger Guard, while guarding her younger brother who was a little cowering and cowardly, and who did not like the military as much as her father. On the other hand, you have to deal with these things that seem to never be done.
After getting up in the morning and washing up, listening to the sound of drills coming from the school ground, Qin Yan started her day's work. First, he reviewed the price of buying a thousand Rouran war horses from the merchants of Xiancheng, bargained with the largest horse market merchants in Xiancheng for a while, and even put down the soft words of the marquis to laugh and tell his grievances, which reduced the price of the war horse by one and a half.
The purchase of ordnance produced by the craftsman Han ran into trouble again, and the Xiji Society, the largest Qi trading company in the Qin State, did not let the price of the ordnance at all, and the price of the wooden cattle and horses that the Tiger Guards wanted to buy also increased by 30%. Qin Yan could only put this matter down first and see if she could find a way for other Qi merchants.
In the matter of warlocks in the army, even if they were recruited with a lot of money in the entire Qiyang, only two warlocks from the small sect of the Yuntai Sect were recruited, and there was only the first realm of Qicha. Almost all of the warlocks here in the Qin State were the leaders of the Nangong family in Xiancheng. And Nangong Kui, the head of the Nangong family, who is now the chief priest in Qiyang, is still vague after Qin Yan's humble visit, and there is no truth. For this most shrewd old fox in the Qin State, Qin Yan was also helpless.
Then Qin Yan mediated the dispute between the two Qu Commanders of the right wing who were nominally led by his younger brother in the army, which was nothing more than some old grievances between the two families. After entering the camp, the barracks where one person was located was a little leaky, but the other was not. The result almost led to a fight. In the end, it was Qin Yan who made trouble, and Qin Yan solved it herself, so she barely calmed down and went separately.
With so much to do, it's past noon. A maid from the Ghost Fang Xihe Seed standing at the door watched for a long time, and then timidly walked over and whispered, "Hou girl, it's time for lunch......
Qin Yan moved her sore wrist, and a wry smile appeared on her elegant little face: "Where is there any appetite...... What about Hou Zi, is he still on the school ground?"
The maid of the West River snorted and did not dare to speak.
Qin Yan's thin eyebrows gradually wrinkled in one place, and her always gentle and elegant eyes turned out to be indescribably sharp: "What is my brother doing?"
The maid of Naxihe fell to her knees with a puff and said in a trembling voice: "Hou Zi didn't get up in the morning, and he only went to the school field at noon. Then he returned to his dwelling and went to sleep with his maid......"
After Qin Yan sat down for a few cases, her face suddenly turned pale. And the maid of Xihe knelt down in front of her, trembling, and did not dare to say more.
After a long time, Qin Yan waved his hand: "You retreat, if there is any movement in the future, report to me at any time...... He is much closer to you blonde maids of the West River than to me......"
The maid shuddered and retreated, not daring to say anything to persuade Qin Yan to lunch. And Qin Yan sat in front of a few cases in a daze, sighed, and buried her head in the paperwork that could never be finished.
At this time, the footsteps outside the door sounded again, but it was the maid who returned: "Hou Nu, the city guard tun chief who was sent to greet the Shi family has returned, and he has received the visitor, does the Hou Nu still want to see it in person?"
Qin Yan thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you see it in person?" Wait for me to dress up and change my clothes, and greet me in the main hall!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xu Le traveled all the way, but there were Qiyang Qin people who recognized him on the road, and they all cheered and cheered for Xu Le. Xu Le couldn't help but return the salute with a smile on his face, and when he arrived at the Huwei camp outside the south gate of Qiyang, he only felt that the muscles on his face were about to stiffen with laughter.
To say that Xu Le and the others have no illusions about whether they can make a career in the Tiger Guard Army is a lie. If the Tiger Guard is a strong army that can catch up with half of the Yi'er Army. Running a certain position in the Tiger Guard Army may be the best support for a few of his people in Donghua!
The Qin people of Qiyang have such ardent expectations for themselves, and Xu Le is not a stone person, how can he not be a little moved. If you really want to fight a few enemies with the Tiger Guard, don't be strong in the past, it is basically an evenly matched battle, and Xu Le has nothing to fear.
In the past few days of coming to Donghua, perhaps the biggest change is that from Xu Le to the most timid Wang Dengke, they have become much bolder - they have struggled out of life and death several times, and they have honed their courage.
In the Qin State, it is a world with a strong private army and a strong man under his right-hand men, and by extension, in the entire Donghua, it should almost be such a scene!
Since Xu Le decided to move to Qiyang with his brothers, he has made up his mind to prepare to make a name for himself in the Tiger Guard. Give yourself a good foundation for your future in Donghua.
But after entering the Tiger Guard camp, Xu Le's heart couldn't help but sink a little.
The Tiger Guard Battalion was indeed renovated, and on the camp lieutenant colonel's field and in the barracks, at a cursory glance, there were already two or three thousand soldiers. These warriors were sturdy and fierce-looking, and they were indeed brave warriors. There are even some characters who are embraced by the stars and moons under their hands, proudly in all directions, and they can't wait to hang the signboard of I am a Donghua warrior on their faces.
However, the two or three thousand Tiger Guard warriors were divided into different groups, some still wearing city guard armor, and some wearing various colors of leather armor and robes, from different lords. The newly recruited fighters formed large and small groups according to whether they could talk about these days, and scattered them everywhere. Today seems to be a rehearsal of the military formation on the school field, and no one is in charge, and several music captains are also taking care of their own trilogy drills, and the chaos on the school field is like a beehive.
Xu Lecai came to Donghua, and the first thing he dealt with was the Yi'er Army, a strong army of the Qin State. The Yi'er army ordered the rectification, coordinated properly, no one stole the limelight, the love of the robe can be seen everywhere, Shi Wuju and even Shi Bao Shi Yao are extremely appealing, and under the order, hundreds of people are united, facing the enemy without a moment! Although the scale is only 600 people, but just a little glance today, Xu Le knows that the Tiger Guard Army is worse than the rebel army, I don't know how far it is!
And looking at these Tiger Guard soldiers who are divided into different groups, you know that this Tiger Guard Army, which was hastily re-established and carried too many expectations of the Qin State. How many mountains are in it, and how deep is this pond mixed with water?
Such a messy military horse has to be trained to look like a historian, I don't know how long it will take. The Yue's goblin and beautiful girl who wrapped herself tightly could help the marquis girl to train this rabble, Xu Le was deeply skeptical.
And there doesn't seem to be much time left for this Tiger Guard, and the outside is softly advancing. Nei Ze Heyang Jun will sooner or later attack the Tiger Guards, and in the Tiger Guards, seeing such a scene, he really doesn't have much confidence.
I came from the Shi family, who was backed by the big tree of Shi Wuju to enjoy the shade, and this is such a place!
For a while, Xu Le couldn't help but want to turn around and go back to Qiyin, shrinking into the small piece of farmland that Xianglin was doing steadily, what was he doing in Qiyang, and what did he think about the Marquis of Yan?
The piles of freshly baked Tiger Guard soldiers in the barracks on the school ground seemed to recognize Xu Le, the first person to re-enter the Tiger Guard, who entered with the city guard. Many people pointed at this, and some people greeted them very warmly: "Xu Jun, why is it too late?"
Xu Le's return was still just a smile. Looking back at the few goods that followed him on horseback, Su Ming had a simple temperament, and Liu Jun had never dealt with Yi'er Jun without comparison, and he didn't see anything. But Cai Hengwen knew it like Xu Le, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping.
Under the leadership of the head of the city guard, Xu Le and his party walked through the barracks and went straight to the two-story building where the Marquis Yan was located. When they arrived outside, Xu Le and the others dismounted one after another, and the city guard chief entered the interior to report. Not long after, I saw a female official in the palace of the Marquis of Qin wearing a dark long skirt and a beaded crown swaying out, and a light smile led Xu Le into the room. Seeing this female official appear, Xu Le was a little surprised. When Xu Le was in Qiyin, he knew that the commander of the Tiger Guard Army, Hou Zi Qin Zhao, and the deputy marshal Sun Yang. Who can use the female official in the palace of the Marquis of Qin? Could it be that the maid who is waiting for him here is the marquis of Yan?
After taking a deep breath, Xu Le asked a few brothers to wait outside the door, dressed himself, and followed the female official inside.
This two-story building is not big, it was originally the residence of the army, and there is no gorgeous decoration. When you cross the front, you will see a main hall, and there are Sun family guards waiting outside the hall with swords. Xu Le followed the female official all the way into the main hall.
When I entered the main hall, I saw that the hall was empty, only a map of the Qin State was hung on the wall, and several cases were set up in front of the map. The furnishings in the hall were gloomy, and only two maids stood in the corner of the wall without moving.
A few cases later, the Marquis was wearing a simple cyan skirt, although the weather was getting warmer and warmer, but the Marquis still hugged a pure white fox fur, which set off her sharp little face without half a blood, as white as jade.
Compared with the previous two meetings, one was just a quick glimpse at the pier. In another hard battle, Xu Le couldn't stand steadily, and his eyes were full of flowers when he looked out. Today, in this hall, the description of the marquis is clear.
This girl is seventeen or eighteen years old, so thin that people can't help but feel pity. It is as black as ink, loosely draped behind, and the light can be seen. On the head and body, there are no accessories, and it is extremely plain. The eyebrows are clear and graceful, and the lips are light and straight.
Such a delicate and beautiful girl seems to be able to blow it down in one breath. Who would have thought that over the years, she would have supported the state of Qin. tried his best to protect his younger brother's position and contacted the historian outside. Struggling to support in a situation where foreign enemies invade and there are strong internal vassals?
Seeing Xu Le entering, Qin Yan smiled and said softly, "Xu Jun, why is it too late?"
