Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Zhangye City.

General player Sun Wenbin, who was inspecting the barracks, saw a familiar figure.

After Ma Sanlang joined the army, he fought very bravely.

He killed the enemy on the battlefield, accumulated military merits and was promoted to brigade commander.

Sun Wenbin is a lieutenant of the Zhangye City Defense Army and Ma Sanlang's immediate superior.

He also appreciates this brave "NPC".

Ma Sanlang also saw Lieutenant Sun, he hurried forward to greet him and said:
"Lieutenant Sun, take a rest today, I will ask for leave to go home and have a look."

"Then you have to go back and take a good look. Those who go home to visit relatives can advance half a month's salary. Would you like to go and have a look at the master?"

Ma Sanlang smiled and said, "No, no, I've saved a lot of money recently."

Sun Wenbin patted Ma Sanlang on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, give the big guys a salary advance, so that you can go back decently, and tell the villagers that the soldiers in the village can have enough food and live a good life."

"I also tell everyone that only good men can be soldiers!"

Ma Sanlang's heart warmed up when he heard this, because Ma Sanlang had a bad impression of Zhangye's army.

Soldiers and bandits have always had a bad reputation as soldiers in Zhangye.

Unexpectedly, today's army is indeed different from before.

Kicked out several black sheep, and beheaded several military leaders who disobeyed military orders with military law.

After the war with Tubo, Zhangye's army has indeed changed a lot.

After generals like Ma Sanlang who were promoted because of military merits went up, it was obvious that the soldiers at the bottom had more hope.

Military merit promotion, as long as you work hard, you can get ahead.

With role models in front, the soldiers practiced harder.

Also because of strict military discipline, the reputation of the army in Zhangye has gradually improved.

Now the people see the officers and soldiers, and their attitudes are completely different from before.

There are also people who send things to the barracks to reward the soldiers.

This feeling of being respected is really fascinating. Unknowingly, from the city defense battalion to the officers to the soldiers, they all pay more and more attention to their own image, and sometimes they will take the initiative to help the people.

Going back to his hometown today, Ma Sanlang also feels like returning home.

Ma Sanlang came to the camp of the military master, and at this time, two soldiers who were about to take a rest were already drawing their monthly salary in advance.

"Marshal Ma!" The two soldiers hurriedly saluted Ma Sanlang.

Ma Sanlang has no airs, he said with a smile: "I'm already on vacation, and now there is no Ma Lushuai. I'm a few years older than you, so please call me third brother."

Two of the soldiers were from the village next door to Yiheli, and they also joined the army with Ma Sanlang.

Both are surnamed Meng, one ranks fifth and the other ranks seventh.

On weekdays, they are called Meng Wu and Meng Qi in the army.

They were already familiar with Ma Sanlang, so they immediately shouted: "Yes, third brother!"

"I'll go back with you, I have a companion on the way."

Meng Wu and Meng Qi immediately agreed.

The master in the army is called Song Lei, and he is also a player.

It's just that Song Lei was originally an official of the Salt and Iron Taxation Department in Zhangye City, and was included in the military ranks during the war.

He was not transferred back after the war, and now he is simply in charge of the logistics of the city defense army.

If it comes, it will be safe, and Song Lei can only stay in the barracks.

But Song Lei still likes life in the barracks very much.

Song Lei is a military master, that is, the quartermaster and logistics officer of the city defense army, and also serves as a military judge.

At the beginning, the soldiers were full of respect for the scholar.

But gradually everyone also discovered that Song Lei is a talkative person.

Gradually, soldiers asked Song Lei to write letters to his hometown, and Song Lei never refused.

Song Lei's prestige in the barracks was growing day by day. Apart from Captain Sun, the soldiers respected him the most.

Today is a half-monthly rest and bath.

In order to enforce military discipline, no matter whether it is Lieutenant Sun or ordinary soldiers, they must eat and live in the barracks, and are not allowed to leave the camp without authorization to harass the place.

But being a soldier is not about going to jail, you can go out of the camp for half a day at the end of each ten-day period.

The city defense battalion took turns to rest for six days in the middle of the month, and this month it was Ma Sanlang's turn to take a rest. His home was near Zhangye City, so he was going back to his hometown to see his father.

There were not many soldiers on this rotation, and Ma Sanlang was soon lined up.

Song Lei checked the ledger, took out a few coins and said:

"Lieutenant Sun said, advance half a month's salary for you to go back and visit relatives."

"Thank you Captain, thank you Master!"

Then Song Lei held out another set of military uniforms dyed blue.

Ma Sanlang's eyes lit up.

He had seen Captain Sun wearing this military uniform before. The Jiuquan blue cotton fabric was very straight, and he looked very handsome on it.

Although the shape is different from traditional gowns, Ma Sanlang knows that this military uniform is easy to move and is especially suitable for marching and fighting.

Song Lei handed the general uniform to Ma Sanlang and said:
"Originally, this set of military uniforms was to be issued to officers above the battalion at the end of the month, but Captain Sun said that since everyone went home after taking a rest, they could not walk in brocade clothes at night."

"You go back in this military uniform."

Ma Sanlang accepted the military uniform excitedly, and went back wearing this mighty military uniform, which can be regarded as an honor to his family!
After receiving the advance salary, Ma Sanlang changed into a military uniform on the spot.

Meng Wu and Meng Qi swallowed enviously, they would have worked hard when they knew about the Battle of Zhangye!

If he could kill a few Tubo people like Ma Sanlang and accumulate military merits to become a battalion officer, he would be able to wear such a mighty military uniform!
Song Lei, the military master, said: "We will make uniforms for all the soldiers next month, so don't worry. The uniforms of ordinary soldiers are similar to those of officers, except that the ranks on the epaulets are different."

"At that time, I will teach everyone how to recognize the military rank and how to wear it."

"But the captain said that it is not allowed to wear military ranks outside the barracks. I will teach you to remove them."

Ma Sanlang immediately removed the military rank from his shoulders.

Song Lei took out another pair of calfskin military boots and said:
"These are military boots issued only to officers at the first level of brigade commander. Try to see if they fit you."

This set of Longyou standard military uniform was made by a certain German designer.

Prussian blue military uniform jacket and trousers, and officers above brigade commander are issued long black military boots.

Ma Sanlang was originally tall and straight, but after wearing this military uniform, he was even more heroic.

Even Song Lei expressed emotion that this military uniform is really good-looking.

Ma Sanlang, who put on his military uniform and military boots, left the barracks with his head held high, quickly attracting the attention of passers-by.

Since the Zhangye War, the people in Zhangye City have changed a lot towards officers and soldiers.

If the officers and soldiers hadn't fought bloody battles, everyone would have been looted by the Tubo people.

Since the rectification of military discipline, the image of officers and soldiers has indeed improved a lot.

Seeing Ma Sanlang in a tall and straight military uniform, passers-by cast friendly glances.

A few bold girls winked at Ma Sanlang in public, which made Ma Sanlang, who had not yet married, blush.

Seeing Ma Sanlang's reaction, Meng Wu immediately said: "Third Brother, my aunt is a matchmaker in the village, go back and ask her to tell you about a marriage?"

Meng Qi was also used to bickering with Meng Wu, so he immediately said:
"Your aunt knows a few village girls. Our third brother is the commander of the city defense army. Don't look for a girl from a rich family!"

"My aunt knows a lot of good ladies. I'm going back this time to ask my aunt to talk about a marriage!"

"Brother, can your aunt also tell me about a marriage?"

"Didn't you say that my aunt only knows village girls?"

"Why do you hold grudges like this kid?"

Seeing the two companions making jokes, Ma Sanlang couldn't help but laugh.

The two soldiers fought for a while, and then Meng Wu remembered the business of going home. He said:

"Third brother, there is a public carriage going to Shandan Ranch outside the city, we can go back by car."

Ma Sanlang looked at his military watch, it was still one o'clock in the noon, he shook his head and said:
"Let's go shopping first, and finally go home for a holiday. We can't go back empty-handed, right?"

"Third brother is still thoughtful!"

"Don't you want to go back and say goodbye? Hurry up and buy some rouge and gouache for the little lady!"

In this way, the three of them came to the commercial street in Zhangye City.

Ma Sanlang had been to Zhangye City before, but since he joined the army, he has been staying in the barracks.

Seeing such a bustling street today still surprised Ma Sanlang.

Meng Wu and Meng Qi, like Ma Sanlang, saw the bustling streets with people coming and going, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden and was directly dazzled by the bustling.

"Why don't we go buy some cloth first?" Ma Sanlang said, pointing to a cloth shop on the corner of the street.
