50,000 soldiers gathered in Kyoto, and the morale was high, and the drum music was lifted

Mutual greetings are like fire, I said that your smile is dry

Sitting at the table and toasting each other, three glasses were patted on the table and the words were sweet

Drunk, his eyes trembled, and his hands trembled, and the general smiled without saying a word

The capital was not very large, and it was also a famous northern city at that time. The construction of the old emperor Daowu Emperor, plus the expansion of the current emperor, is also very large-scale. There are more than 200,000 people living in the city, and Wei has not been established for many years, and there are only more than 30 million people in its heyday. In the past 20 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, plus years of war, the population has not increased much, and the country has more than 25 million.

A city with a population of 200,000 was already a metropolis in those days. The whole city is also four vertical, four horizontal and eight main roads, rows of residential houses, built very neatly. There are several large mansions, all of which are the mansions of the prince.

In the center of the city is the Imperial Palace, which is not very large, but it is also very magnificent. The high walls of the inner city can be seen from a long distance. The Central Military Office is naturally not inside the palace, and the yamen is outside the palace. The Chinese army is responsible for defending the capital, and in special wars, it will also send troops to support the frontier, such as the imperial driving personal expedition, and the Chinese army will draw troops to go out. To put it bluntly, it is the Central Army.

Yu Jia is a member of the Zhenxu Army, who directly guards the frontier, and is now a border guard. Recruits from all walks of life from all walks of life reported in Beijing, and the Chinese army arranged them in a unified manner and sent them to various border fortresses to guard them and replenish the source of troops.

While walking, everyone saw what the capital was like? Before you knew it, you came to the gate of the Chinese army's yamen. The gatekeeper took the customs clearance documents handed over by Li Yan and hurriedly went in to report. After a while, the officer who appeared to be in the army came out and handed over to Li Yan. The men took the recruits away. In the past few days, it is the day of the exchange of troops, and all parts of the country have sent troops here, and the Chinese army has been busy all day.

50,000 new recruits were collected at once, and they will soon be reorganized and distributed to various border forts to replenish the supply of troops. Is there a war, death is inevitable, and all the fortresses are in a hurry to write and replenish their troops as soon as possible. There's no way, after a few big battles, some fortresses, half of them are gone.

In normal times, in general, the total strength of a place at the border is about 5,000 people. The key fortress is about 10,000 people. Too many can't do it, the troops are too strong, they will threaten the central government, how can they give you so many soldiers. Wei is now in a special situation, with threats on all sides.

Rouran in the north, Song in the south, Xia in the west, Liang in the west, and Yan in the east. At that time, the military department and the country's military strength were only about 1 million. More than a dozen fortresses were defended. There are also states and counties, imperial cities, and the strength of the army is also tight. At that time, on average, one out of every 10 people was in the army. In addition to women and children, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are basically conscripted into the army.

The general led Li Yan to the middle hall, and some soldiers served tea, and the general said: "General Li has worked hard all the way, this is a long way, and the road is indeed far" Li Yan hurriedly replied: "This is a lowly internal matter, and I dare not say that it is hard."

He joined the army and said: "Among this batch of recruits, I see that these people you brought are the most neat and in good spirits, and your journey is also the farthest, your seedlings are good."

Li Yan said with a smile: "Along the way, thanks to my righteous brothers, take care of these recruits" So I told the adults who joined the army how Yu Jia behaved along the way.

Joining the army nodded and said: "It seems that you are not easy to stamper with these righteous brothers! I want to be strong when I have time, you brothers" Li Yan hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "I hope the adults will take care of one or two" The army smiled and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say"

Saying that, let people arrange the residence of Li Yan and the others. Li Yan took the signed paperwork and went down.

In the evening, the camp was set up with wine and treated to the recruits.

When you come to the capital, you can also feel the emperor's grace. They are all newcomers and don't know each other. During the banquet, you and I saluted each other. After a little drinking, this is familiar. They are all young adults in their twenties and have a common language. These guys did it.

The wine is mixed and mixed, the world is from all over the world, even chatting and drinking, unconsciously, everyone is leaning over and his eyes are straight, his hands are shaking and his tongue is hard. The meal was drunk until midnight, and then it was dispersed. Three or five, holding each other, staggered to the station.

On the second day, at dawn, Li Yan resigned from the army and returned to Huayin County with his 10 brothers. Let's say that the army has read the newspapers from all over the country, enlistment roster, and keeps part of it for the headquarters for backup, and the rest are divided into 6 people, each with 5,000 people, and sent to the major fortresses in the north and south.

Yujia and them were sent to the north of Pingcheng to deploy on the front line of Yinshan. In the early days of the Wei Kingdom, the soldiers of the six towns in the north were very popular, and most of them were the children of the official family to gild, and they could be officials when they returned to the court for a few years. It was good to join the army, and Yu Jia was promoted to the captain of a 50-person team, and Yu Jia was also very happy.

In the Chinese army, there was no further training, and the commander gave them three days off to leave the barracks and visit Kyoto. Brother Yu Jia was three, and when he got out of the military department, he went to the streets, mainly to replenish supplies. Along the way, the march consumed almost the same, and you have to hurry up and replenish some.

Wine, salt and so on, and dozens of sets of cotton clothes, as well as some, the necessities of the march. Medicinal materials or something, there is this thing, and there is one more means to save life. In the early days of the Wei state, there was no military salary. There is a reward for meritorious service, and the spoils of war for killing the enemy can be distributed to the soldiers as a reward. It's not good to spend alone, you can't do it without income, the money only goes in and out, and there is always a time when it runs out.

What should I do? Yu Jia thought to herself, she could only take out some fairy grass from her own small world and sell it. Thinking about it, I came to a pharmacy with a big face, and when I looked up, I saw three big characters written on the lintel, "Baicaotang".

Lifting the curtain into the house, Yu Jia said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, can you collect medicinal herbs here?" The shopkeeper raised his eyes and said, "Of course I accepted it, my pharmacy is to buy medicine, and of course I will accept good medicinal materials."

Hearing this, Yu Jia flicked the placket of her clothes lightly with her hand, pretending to be very old-fashioned, and said with a smile: "I don't know, what do you do here?"

The shopkeeper looked at Yu Jia up and down, and said: "As long as the drug grade is good, my store is the fairest, and I will never lower the price" Yu Jia continued: "I don't know, you can afford a big price" The shopkeeper said: "It's a joke, my store, the whole capital is also the largest, and the reputation is also the best." Money is not a problem, I wonder what kind of high-quality products the son has in his hands?"

Yu Jia heard this, hurriedly got it, and whispered in the ear of the shopkeeper: "Ginseng more than three hundred years old, I don't know, how much can it be sold for?" Even if there is, it's sky-high, and it's not something that my small shop can treasure?

Yu Jia said: "How dare you laugh, but I don't know, you can afford it in this store?"

The shopkeeper answered: "Buy, of course you buy it." With these 300 years of ginseng, it can be the treasure of my town store, and it will bring infinite benefits to my store. But I don't know, this little boy, can you take the goods with you?"

Yu Jia looked around and whispered to the shopkeeper, "Can you speak in the inner hall?" When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly got up, made a hand gesture, and said, "Son, please."

Yu Jia also got up afterwards, alone, followed the shopkeeper to the inner hall, and Wushuang and Zhang Jie stayed outside.

The shopkeeper asked Yu Jia to sit down and speak, Yu Jia sat down and said: "I don't know how much money the shopkeeper can pay, the price is negotiated, and we will look at the goods again" The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Son, you are laughing, I don't see the goods, how to negotiate the price? Yu Jia seemed to understand, and then said, "Oh, this buying and selling transaction, and so much more. I don't know, how to count it as complete, what kind of goods, count as good products?"

The shopkeeper explained with a smile: "First of all, the year should be enough, secondly, the roots should be intact, and thirdly, the whole tree should weigh more than 3 or 4 taels." In this way, a hundred years of ginseng will cost at least 1,000 taels of gold."

When Yu Jia heard it, it was so expensive, and she thought about the herbs in her space, which were still planted when the master was there. Now in the small world, there are tens of thousands of years. In the real world, it's been hundreds of years, to say the least. Absorbing the aura of the small world, the natural medicinal effect is excellent. It seems that it is not a last resort, and it is easy not to be born.

Thinking of this, Yu Jia continued to ask: "I don't know how much gold does a fresh ginseng plant that is more than 300 years old cost?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he said with some excitement: "A living 100-year-old ginseng? That is priceless! It is said that a single ginseng whisker can bring the dead back to life." Yu Jia said mysteriously: "The shopkeeper, can you afford it?"

The shopkeeper explained: "If the son can take it out, the fresh participation of more than 300 years, the small shop is willing to pay 10,000 taels of gold to buy." No matter how much there is, the small shop can't take it out."

Yu Jia said categorically: "Okay, deal". After that, he took out a fairy grass from the small world, which he thought was the smallest, with soil and dewdrops, and put it in front of the shopkeeper.

This is only a new growth in the small world, and it has only been a year in the outside world, but it is only a few hundred years in the small world. At this time, the shopkeeper saw the fresh fairy grass, and his eyes were green. Hurriedly stepped forward and looked this fairy grass up and down. Where has he ever seen such a big ginseng in his life!

Gently brushing away the soil, I saw the ginseng body, good guy, it was as long as chopsticks, and the thickness was like a big radish. This ginseng, to the naked eye, weighs about 1 catty, and the shape is very intact.

Nonsense, can it not be intact, dug up by the roots, with dirt. Not a single whisker was injured, and it was still alive, which is rare.

The shopkeeper is also a connoisseur of medicinal herbs. I saw him gently, get a small whisker, turn around, pick up a magnifying glass, and shine it there. Look at the skin condition of ginseng, and then look at the annual rings or something, anyway, I was tinkering with it for a long time anyway. Finally, break a little bit of a whisker and put it in your mouth and chew it.

After a while, I saw that the shopkeeper Tong's eyes lit up, and after the ginseng beard was entered, the rui qi was very strong, and that comfortable feeling was really wonderful. Just this breath of fairy breath made the old shopkeeper live for 50 more years.

Just kidding, this is fairy grass! The fairy grass has completely changed the body of the old shopkeeper. A chance gave birth to an additional 50 years of creation for him. After that, the old shopkeeper dealt with Yu Jia a lot and became a good friend.

After a long time, the old shopkeeper opened his eyes and seemed to enjoy it very much: "Childe, the old man is today, he really picked up a treasure, I am willing to pay 12,000 taels of gold to buy your ginseng." If it's not enough, how about using a silver top? I'll take advantage of you, and I'll take advantage of it."

The old shopkeeper is also a real person and does not lie. I believe that to be able to come up with such good medicinal materials, the background of the people is not simple, the shopkeeper is a businessman, this bit of eyesight of people, there is still some, how dare to make a mistake. "Okay, I don't know the shopkeeper, when will I be able to get the money together?" Yu Jia was more concerned about this.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem in half a day", so the shopkeeper turned around, came outside, immediately explained the account room, and notified all the branches in the capital to bring all the gold and silver in the store to the main store.

This morning, I saw a wonder in the capital, only to see that on the street, large cars and small cars continued, all coming to this hundred grass hall, and by noon, it was finally enough. A little clear: 10,000 taels of gold, and the remaining 2,000 taels of gold, not enough to use silver top. It will be exchanged at a ratio of 1:10 to the market price at the time. and exchanged for 20,000 taels of silver. Handover to Yu Jia in person.

Yu Jia looked at the boxes of money, nodded, expressed satisfaction, and hurriedly handed the fairy grass to the shopkeeper, and said: "Shopkeeper, this ginseng is fresh now, but the growth environment is quite harsh. In order for it to continue to grow, it needs to have a spirit stone array under the roots. The immortal grass absorbs the spiritual energy of the spirit stone in order to grow, otherwise it will die. In the absence of spirit stones, it can survive for up to ten days"

Yu Jia then asked the shopkeeper to take pen and ink, and Yu Jia wrote a method for arranging Lingshi Town and the number of spirit stones needed. After writing it, give it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper holds it in his hand like a treasure. Just kidding! If this fairy grass can be raised alive, it will be a cash cow! Without destroying the body, it will be rich and prosperous.

The shopkeeper hurriedly responded, and then sent someone down to find the spirit stone. Yu Jia asked the idlers to go out, and when there was no one in the room, she waved her sleeves, and saw dozens of boxes entering the small world, and the room was empty in an instant.

Then Yujia walked out and said goodbye to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper looked into the room and felt very strange. Where are all the boxes of gold and silver?

The shopkeeper respects Yu Jia more from the bottom of his heart.

The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "If the son needs anything in the future, even if he comes to the shop, the old man should go all out" This is to pull the relationship, it seems that the shopkeeper also understands people.

"Well, if necessary, he will come to the next day" Yu Jia admitted.

The shopkeeper of "Childe Slow" sent Yu Jia out of the door, and Yu Jia and his party of three left happily. The old shopkeeper was still looking outside the door, relieved himself for a long time, and muttered: "I really met a master today, and I picked up a treasure!" The old shopkeeper also happily returned to the house.

The three of them walked along the way, and then came to a restaurant, looked up, and wrote "Duweiju". This is the best restaurant in Beijing. Yu Jia motioned to Wushuang and Zhang Jie: "Today we are here, eat it, and enjoy the deliciousness of the capital."

After speaking, he rolled up his robe and took the lead in the store to pick a private room by the window. Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward and began to introduce the characteristics of the store, and the three of them began to order.

What flies in the sky, swims in the water, runs on the ground, and delicacies from the mountains and seas, I have called a lot. And he called two jars, and the best sweet potato wine.

After a while, the wine and food came up, Xiao Er closed the door and retreated, and the three brothers chatted while eating.

Wushuang spoke first: "Second brother, you have made a lot of money today!" Yu Jia said: "What made a lot of money, I sold it at a loss"

Listening to Yu Jia's words, Wushuang was a little puzzled. Yu Jia then said: "Do you know? I sold it to the shopkeeper, it is a fairy grass, and it is priceless to be able to bring the dead back to life. If we hadn't gone to war and needed silver to save our lives, do you think I would have sold?"

Zhang Jie was not interested in their conversation, he just opened his arms to eat in that round, and the things on the table were all things that he had never eaten when he was so old. Moreover, the restaurant is made with all the color, flavor and appetite. He was very happy to eat there, and Wushuang and Yu Jia chatted while eating.

I only heard Yu Jia say: "This is going to the border pass, it is a bitter cold place." I don't know when and what month I will return. I don't know how many soldiers have spilled their blood on the battlefield. We will persevere until the end, the day of triumph. So this money is the life-saving money that we have there. You know, where the money goes, it's easy to use. But it's gone, I'll find a way. In short, fighting in Mobei can't make our brothers suffer."

Wushuang said: "Brother, you can be great, I believe you, brother always has a way" Yu Jia continued: "This is to go to Mobei, to fight, to kill the enemy." You also have to be very careful, because saving your life is the main thing. If your life is gone, you're really nothing, you know?"

Wushuang was extremely serious and said: "I know, brother, don't worry, I will definitely be more careful"

Zhang Jie has been following the team these days, although the march is hard, but he eats well and can eat enough. Along the way, others have lost some meat, but this product is good, the nutrition has kept up, and it has grown stronger. Now my complexion is much better, and I no longer look thin.

The third brother had a meal that took a long time, and when he went downstairs to settle the bill, a table of meals cost more than 10 taels of silver. This money is nothing to Yu Jia, the rich second generation. But Zhang Jie was a little depressed, thinking: It's so expensive, more than 10 taels of silver, but it's enough for him and his wife to live for a few years.

In the countryside, Zhang Jie didn't know how to spend money. Now that I have been out for a while, I have followed this rich second brother, but I have seen what it means to spend money.

In the blink of an eye, three happy days passed, and the soldiers began to march. When a strong man goes on an expedition, the court always has to show something. Six teams of people, tens of thousands of people, the formation is not small.

Most of the warriors were also given war horses. A team of 50,000 men had 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry. That's not bad already. You must know that most of the war horses were captured on the battlefield, and there was no place to breed war horses in the north. Therefore, the Great Wei State could not raise horses to go to the battlefield.

On the day of the expedition, the Holy One came in person. His Majesty the Emperor was also a morale booster.

I only heard His Majesty speak: "Soldiers, this expedition is to protect my Great Wei territory. Good man, when the battlefield is stained with blood, he will regard death as home! In exchange for the people behind him, a pure land of peace and happiness, so that the people will not be displaced. So that in the territory of my Great Wei Kingdom, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone will prosper."

"However, at the beginning of the country, the border is not very peaceful now. Now there is Rouran in the north, the Great Song Dynasty in the south, the Xia Kingdom in the west, the Liang Small Country in the west, and the Yan Kingdom in the northeast. They are all eyeing my Great Wei, and now, my Great Wei is really still and embattled. They are the ones who will not let my people be at peace. Only when our soldiers stand up, guard the territory, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and defeat them, can we exchange for a peaceful life. Now we need to wait, go forward and succeed, kill the enemy, and exchange my Great Wei for eternal peace. You and others are all warriors and heroes of the Great Wei Kingdom, and your name will surely be remembered for centuries. ”

After a pause, His Majesty raised his glass and said to the soldiers: "I, all the soldiers, a glass of wine before the battle." I wish you a victorious start and a good news as soon as possible, come, do it!"

"Your Majesty Xie!" His Majesty the Emperor was all done, and all the soldiers picked up a large bowl of wine and drank it with their necks raised. Crack, only the sound of the wine bowl shattering to the ground could be heard. "Let's go!" An order was given, the cavalry was in front, the infantry was behind, the soldiers began to change formations, and the six-way brigade began to leave the school field and set out for the battle.

Leaving the capital, the army marched towards their respective fortresses.

This is exactly what it is:

The soldiers of the three armies are as fierce as tigers, and the mighty division is extraordinary

Embark on the arduous road of joining the army, and when will you be fully clothed when you return

Xuan Ang is youthful and youthful, and the sharp weapon is strong

The people saw off the street side station, and a thousand words before parting
