Chapter 374
Li Bing refused, forced to come back, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I will ask her to make you a tiger-skin cloak, it will definitely be better than this."

The weather was fine that day, so He Jingyan personally came to the Li Mansion to pick up Li Jingjing, Li Yunxiao, and the twins to the barracks of the Huben Army in the western suburbs.

Today, He Jingyan shaved his beard clean, his eyes were deep, his eyes were full of stories, he was handsome and calm, and he was full of energy. He was dressed in a daily winter military uniform, a turquoise short cardigan sweater, fleece pants, and black fast boots. Extraordinarily capable spirit.

Li Jingjing wore a lavender long dress, a red cloak embroidered with gold silk peony flowers, and a pair of soft-soled purple brocade shoes embroidered with small flowers.

Both Li Yunxiao and the twins were wearing dark blue clothes with a silver-gray cloak over them, and they were in high spirits.

Lu Daoming, who had been waiting in the barracks for a long time, saluted the five people and saw his master's lips raised but he didn't speak much. He was very anxious for him and said, "Princess, our lord has braved the severe cold these days and stayed here from morning till night. In the school field, select the best 500 soldiers from the more than [-] soldiers of our Tiger Ben Army."

Li Jingjing immediately gave He Jingyan a grateful look.

Lu Daoming continued: "Afterwards, our lord sent people to check the eight generations of their ancestors, and found out that some people had problems. Today's 450 people have clean backgrounds, so you can rest assured."

"Brother Yan, you have worked hard." Li Jingjing secretly scolded Li Bing for being lazy, and actually handed over this difficult matter to He Jingyan.

He Jingyan glanced at Lu Daoming, but the latter didn't see it, and continued: "There are also military horses. What you said is that each soldier is equipped with a first-class military horse. Those soldiers originally had a war horse, but our general thought they were Your horses are getting old after fighting for several years, so you bought 450 first-class military horses from the Ministry of War with your own money, and you have two horses for your soldiers."

Li Yunxiao exclaimed: "Each soldier is equipped with two first-class army horses, brother Yan is really generous!"

He Jingyan said disapprovingly: "The soldiers in my mansion are also equipped with two military horses."

With a bright smile on her face, Li Jingjing stopped, looked up at He Jingyan next to her, her starry eyes sparkled, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan is really paying for it. Buying five hundred first-class army horses is not a small amount of money. "

He Jingyan said softly: "You are celebrating your birthday soon, this is a gift from me. Wait and see if you like it?"

Li Jingjing was secretly delighted, she lowered her head and said softly, "I don't need to watch it, I just like it after hearing that you put so much effort into it. Thank you."

He Jingyan didn't dare to stare at Li Jingjing, and turned his eyes away, Li Yunxiao's excited shout sounded in his ears: "Brother Yan, help me choose fifty soldiers, and each of them will be equipped with two first-class army horses."

Li Yunfei and He Jiye looked at each other, and said loudly at the same time: "Brother Yan, you can also get fifty soldiers with two horses."

Li Jingjing said unhappily: "The soldiers in the barracks are all paid by the imperial court. I am the princess who protects the country. According to the court regulations, I can prepare personal soldiers, and the military pay of the personal soldiers is borne by the court. You cannot prepare personal soldiers."

Li Yunfei and He Jiye immediately stepped forward and hugged He Jingyan's thigh.

Li Yunfei raised his small head and begged: "Brother Yan, help us, you can give us thirty soldiers with two horses."

He Jiye jumped up and down with both feet at the same time, and said: "Brother Yan is the best, help us."

Li Jingjing glared at the two little brothers with a beautiful gaze, then shook her head with He Jingyan, and said, "Don't help them, don't spoil them!"

He Jingyan nodded with a smile, and picked up the two little guys who were full of grievances.

The three brothers of the Li family followed He Jingyan to the vast school field of the military camp with their heads drooping like deflated balls.

I saw 450 soldiers full of hostility standing in 45 rows, with ten people in each row, neat and mighty.

All of them wore brand-new armor, short swords, long spears, long bows, quiveres full of iron arrows, and two strong horses beside them.

All the soldiers knelt down and shouted in unison: "Meet Princess Huguo!" The resounding resounded through the sky.

Li Jingjing's blood boiled, and she shouted: "Pingshen!"

Lu Daoming ordered all the soldiers to get on their horses and run around the school field.

450 people got on the military horses and galloped twice. They actually performed extremely thrilling equestrianism on horseback.

Such extraordinary riding skills and superb archery skills won warm applause and respectful applause from the four members of the Li family.

"I want to be a soldier in the Tiger Ben Army." "I want to be like this when I grow up." The palms of the two little guys turned red with excitement.

Li Yunxiao looked enviously, and said excitedly: "Tiger Ben's army is well-deserved!"

Li Jingjing was elated, and immediately took out four pieces of paper with pictures of weapons and horse armor from her sleeves and handed them to He Jingyan, and said with a smile, "Can you see if it's useful?"

He Jingyan lowered his head to look at one by one, the more he looked, the more dignified his face became, he folded it carefully and turned around to put it in his underwear, and said in a low voice, "Have you seen my master?"

"Who will show it to him?" Li Jingjing pouted and shook her head, and said specially: "You are not allowed to tell my grandpa!"

The weapons and horse armor on the four drawings are from the cold weapon era in her previous life.

It took her three full months in the Rejuvenation Medicine Mansion to recall them before drawing them.

Originally, she wanted to give it to Li Bing to thank her for helping her prepare the personal army. Since Li Bing handed over the matter to He Jingyan, she gave it to He Jingyan.

"I can't hide this matter from my master." He Jingyan recalled the old and young fighting in Tanzhou a few years ago, couldn't help laughing, and laughed a few times.

He didn't know that this person had laughed many times in the serious school field.

Li Jingjing smiled and said: "It's a day to be able to hide it."

Lu Daoming ordered 450 soldiers to stand back to their original positions and perform a simple handover ceremony.

All the soldiers pulled out their daggers and cut their fingers, blood dripped from their skins. They raised their heads and shouted loudly to the sky, "We swear our allegiance to the princess who protects the country to the death. Anyone who violates the law will be struck by lightning and die a terrible death!"

The sunny voice of the man in the hot-blooded army echoed in the air, deafening.

Li Jingjing immediately asked Lu Daoming to announce that the personal army would remove the salary of the imperial court, and she would pay for it and give all the soldiers a monthly silver.

The imperial court stipulated that the salaries received by soldiers in frontline battlefields were double those in non-war areas.

The monthly salary of 450 soldiers was nearly 2000 taels of silver, nearly 3 taels of silver a year, and 10 taels of silver in three years. This did not include three meals a day, clothes for four seasons, weapon wear and tear, and war horses.

It takes a lot of money to raise an army, especially for a strong army, the money spent every year is like running water.

It is rumored that the Li family is very poor, and Li Jingjing is a great pharmacist, but she does medicine and does not receive money for medical treatment, nor is she rich.
