"This?"

"Alas, it's really incomprehensible, Lord Zhang, come, have another drink."

After three rounds of drinking, Qu Zichen saw that Zhang Siyang was a little moved, but the thoughts in his heart still seemed to be unspeakable, so he gave another reason:

"Master Zhang, in fact, before I became an official, I thought about wanting to have a small island of my own, plant some flowers and plants on it, and spend my life smoothly."

Hearing such a hint, Zhang Siyang had a plan in his heart.

"By the way, Lord Zhang, the lower officials think that after occupying the island where the bandits are entrenched, they should send more troops to garrison for a period of time.

With such an obvious hint, how could Zhang Siyang, as an old fritter who has been an official for many years, not understand, and immediately said:

"Lord Qu is right, those bandits are extremely slippery, this is how Lord Wang was sneak attacked, he can't hide somewhere, Lord Qu must be careful again, it is still necessary to lead troops to garrison for a period of time. It's just that there are many affairs on the island, and there is Lord Laoqu. ”

Qu Zichen pretended not to care and said:

"Eh, what is Lord Zhang's words, dedicating strength to the country and the people, it is Qu Mou's long-cherished wish for a certain life, how can you talk about labor?"

"Without further ado, tomorrow, the lower officials will check the gold and silver in the treasury and allocate a sum of money to cover the expenses of the army, so as not to chill the hearts of the soldiers."

"That's a lot of trouble for Lord Zhang, this little thing, the lower officials will find a way to solve it."

"Eh, I have made up my mind, and Lord Qu must not refuse."

"Alas, let Master Zhang care so much, how can he be a subordinate official? Since the adults are so insistent, then the lower officials are respectful and obedient. ”

The two drank until the evening, and Zhang Siyang said while going out to see off Qu Zichen: "I wish Lord Qu a successful start, and Zhang Mou will hold a celebration banquet for Lord Qu in Fucheng, waiting for good news." ”

"I will live up to Lord Zhang's expectations, Qu dares not to die."

Out of Zhang's mansion, Qu Zichen refused the horses brought by his subordinates, and wanted to walk for a while to sober up.

Walking on the streets of Mingzhou, the bustling street market, selling art, selling snacks, looking from a distance, the long street, the lights are bright, people come and go, so lively.

Qu Zichen looked at all this in front of him, and felt deeply in his heart, such a peaceful time will no longer exist in more than a hundred years, when the time comes, the country will not be a country, a family will not be a family, and the people living on this land will become two-legged sheep to be slaughtered, bullied, persecuted, and their lives are even worse than a dog in Mongolia.

Since he has returned to this era, no matter what time and space it is, he will work hard to change all this, change the fate of the people's descendants, and change the fate of the land of China.

Fortunately, fortunately, when it comes to the time when there is no power to return to the sky, there is still room for hard work.

The next day, Qu Zichen came to the barracks, and he was about to go to battle, so he still had to prepare.

Although Qu Zichen believed that his soldiers would not embarrass him, he still had to practice the drills that should be done.

However, the most important thing today is the money and food that the prefect Zhang Siyang is about to send. There was nothing wrong, after Qu Zichen thanked Zhang Siyang, who came in person, he told him that he would send troops in a few days, and he would be invited to participate in the review at that time. Zhang Siyang readily agreed.

After sending off the group of civil officials and the convoy of transporters, Qu Zichen immediately arranged a training plan for the next few days.

There is no doubt that the fighters are mainly systematically recruited soldiers.

But the other local soldiers can't be left aside, if they are allowed to fight along, it will be too embarrassing, first, the training is not enough, whether it is the previous Mingzhou context military officials, or Qu Zichen himself, they are all regarded as miscellaneous soldiers.

It can't be said that there is no training, after all, he is also a soldier, but this strength is not half a star worse than the forbidden army of the imperial court.

That is, during the time when Qu Zichen came, they were able to eat well, eat well, improve their physical fitness a lot, and their training could keep up, but they were trained separately from the soldiers recruited by the system, and the subjects were not the same.

Second, let them fight, just before the war they have to spend a lot of rewards, and after the war there will be bereavement benefits.

And their morale is far inferior to that of the system soldiers, who are timid, afraid of death, and forward-looking. It's all faults, maybe in the eyes of people in this era, Qu Zichen can train some already weak van soldiers well, and he has the strength to fight, which is already very powerful.

But Qu Zichen was still not satisfied, after all, he had seen a better one.
