Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 51
In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunlight hit Chen Ying's face, Chen Ying woke up leisurely.Chen Ying got up and finished washing in a hurry, looked up outside the room, and unexpectedly found that stubborn figure still kneeling there.

"Did she kneel here the whole time yesterday?"

"Reporting to the general, this person knelt for a whole night!"

Chen Ying was also secretly surprised that a woman has such a tenacious character.

The moment Chen Ying turned around, Tang Liuniang was very discouraged.

Tang Liuniang is from Zitong County, Shizhou. She is the sixth child and has five older brothers. Although she lives in this era where men are superior to women, due to the special circumstances of their family, Tang Liuniang has been loved since she was born.Three of her older brothers have already married and established businesses, guarding tens of acres of Susukida, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.Although life is very difficult, Tang Liuniang feels very happy.

However, this quiet and peaceful life was completely destroyed with the arrival of the rebels from nearby enterprises.The nearby rebels ransacked the village where she lived and slaughtered the entire village.In order to cover her escape, the father who loved her the most was beheaded by the rebels. She will never forget that her father left his last words when he was dying, "Liu Ya, run!"

Her five older brothers were successively killed by the rebels, and even her three-year-old nephew was not spared.In just a few days, there were more than a dozen members of the family, and heaven and man were separated. Tang Liuniang suffered the cruelest torture in her life. She wanted to survive, to avenge the tragic death of her parents, and to avenge her innocent brothers who died in vain.

She knew that her strength alone was too small, and the rebel army was not only numerous and powerful, but also fierce. The only way for her to get revenge was to join the Tang army.

"That white-faced general is really disgusting, he doesn't even agree to his request!" Tang Liuniang thought angrily.

Suddenly, she found a pair of black boots coming out in front of her, and when she looked up, it was the handsome but annoying white-faced general.

"Is kneeling enough?"

Chen Ying said expressionlessly: "Get up when you have kneeled enough!"

Tang Liuniang was overjoyed when she heard the words, and got up quickly.

"oops……"

Tang Liuniang was just about to get up, but she forgot that she had been kneeling for a whole night, and her legs and knees were already sore and weak.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Chen Ying reached out to stop Tang Liuniang's waist and lifted her up.

Tang Liuniang's eyes flashed fiercely, she glared fiercely at Chen Ying, and covered her chest with her hands.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in hemp sticks!"

It took a long time for Tang Liuniang to realize that Chen Ying actually disliked her small breasts.

Tang Liuniang looked down at Xiaohe's sharp chest, her little face flushed with anger.

"I'll kill you!"

Tang Liuniang threw herself on Chen Ying's arm, opened her mouth and bit it.

It's just a pity that Chen Ying was wearing armor at this time, and it was a general-level Mingguang armor weighing 23 catties. Not to mention teeth, even the light bow used by cavalry could be ignored at a distance of thirty steps.

Even though her mouth was bleeding from the nail blade, Tang Liuniang was still steadfast.

Seeing Chen Ying being bitten by Tang Liuniang, the surrounding guards immediately raised their swords and guns.

"Go back!"

All the guards retreated angrily after hearing the words.

Chen Ying secretly sighed and said: "If you don't let go, this general will not accept you as a soldier!"

"Oh!"

Only then did Tang Liuniang let go of her mouth, and stuck out her tongue towards Chen Ying.

Chen Ying ordered the guards to take Tang Liuniang to dinner.

Tang Liuniang looked worried, and said stubbornly: "I'm not hungry!"

"If you don't eat, you won't be recruited as a soldier!"

"Oh!" Tang Liuniang reluctantly followed the guards to the kitchen to get dinner.

"General, do you really accept her?"

"Otherwise, what should I do?"

"But... his origin is unknown!" Liang Zan said with a worried face, "Who knows if she is a spy of the rebel army?"

"Is there such a spy? I can tell whether it's a human or a ghost!" Chen Ying said disapprovingly, "Go and see how the recruitment is going!"

Walking to Chen Ying's big tent before leaving, he met Wei Wenzhong, who was red-eyed and like a rabbit.

"How's the recruiting going?"

"It's better than expected!" Wei Wenzhong rubbed his face, cheered up and said, "They are all seedlings of elite soldiers, and there are more than 1000 to [-] soldiers."

The so-called elite soldiers in this era specifically refer to elite soldiers, meaning young and strong men between the ages of 16 and 45.Chen Ying was secretly surprised that the entire Xi County was only a middle and lower county.The so-called middle and lower counties mean that the number of households is less than 1000 and more than [-].A middle and lower county in Xixian District can recruit more than [-] soldiers, which almost empties out the men in the entire county.

From this aspect, it can also be seen that the prosperous Tang Dynasty can dominate the world. The whole people advocated martial arts.

Chen Yingdao: "Allocate these new recruits immediately, and first complete the formation of the four regiments of the Honorary First Regiment, the Second Honorary Regiment, the Shesheng Regiment and the Honored Guard Regiment. As for the Yueqi Regiment, we don't have so many horses, and we are just temporarily Leave it empty!"

Wei Wenzhong took the account book and said: "General Chen, the Yueqi regiment can be filled to full strength now. The gentry and celebrities in Xixian County donated 57 horses, and more than a hundred people joined the army with horses. The Yueqi regiment is fully staffed." That's enough!"

Chen Ying said happily: "Then hurry up and assign the old to the new, and train while marching. When we arrive in Shizhou, these recruits can also go into battle!"

Wei Wenzhong stammered, "It's just..."

"Just what?"

Chen Ying looked at Wei Wenzhong curiously and said, "Old Wei, we are all life and death brothers begging for food in a ladle, what should we say?"

Wei Wenzhong said: "It's just that we don't have enough weapons. The Xixian government treasury doesn't have any decent weapons at all. There are only twenty pairs of leather armor and fifty spears, and they are all rotten by moths. There is nothing we can do about it." use!"

Chen Ying said without hesitation: "We don't have weapons and armors, so let's build them ourselves, gather all the blacksmiths in the city, collect iron and pig iron, and make armors and weapons!"

"But the purchase of iron requires money!" Wei Wenzhong said with a mournful face: "Xun Erfu's account has less than [-] yuan for oil and salt, so you can't use the oil and salt money of brothers to buy iron!"

"Is there any money in the treasury of Xi County?" Chen Ying asked doubtfully, "No matter how poor Xi County is, it's not like there is no money at all, right?"

Wei Wenzhong said in anticipation of Ai Ai: "There are, and there are quite a few. There are more than two thousand pieces!"

"It's easy to do if you have money. Two thousand guan is enough for us to buy iron to make weapons and armor!"

"However, those are all autumn taxes. Those who want to go to Chang'an embezzle the national tax without permission. This is a serious crime that requires beheading!"

"Huh!" Chen Ying said, "If we don't have weapons and armor, do we expect us to go to the battlefield with wooden sticks to suppress the rebellion? That's almost like sending us to death. If something happens, the general will take it and take the money from the Xixian government treasury first. Take it out and use it, at all costs, buy the nearby iron and pig iron with all your strength, and make weapons!"

"But what if the court asks for the crime?"

"Then we have to wait for this general to come back!"
