Chapter 85 Encouragement
() Not long after the Zhao people returned to Qin, Li Mu, Zhao Bing, and the Qin people not far from Handan were all very cautious. They were not afraid of any conflicts, but were afraid of causing trouble under the instigation of interested people. These people were very careful, Li Mu
Zhao Bing has also been careful to get along with Qin Bing for the past half month, eating and living together. Now it seems that there is no conflict, but he is afraid that the two sides will fight on the field. Everyone is a hot-blooded man, and they will separate after a disagreement.
When factions come in, it becomes a headache.
Meng Ao and others were concerned about these matters, so Ying Zheng naturally left them alone. What he wanted was just the results of the competition, not doing everything himself. What's more, some frictions are normal in his opinion. Even if they are direct brothers, they may not be good.
It's like piercing a heart. It's not surprising that the two feuding parties are not convinced by each other. Because of this, he turned a blind eye to the headaches faced by Meng Ao and others on weekdays.
As long as there is no big trouble, everyone will fight fiercely, and if they have the ability, they will use their upright skills and fighting methods to suppress the opponent!...
Half a month later, the Taishi Office had decided to use December as the first day to calculate the summer solstice. Starting from April in December, it is already April and a half. Everyone was not used to this at first.
There is a way to time the day, but after a long time, I have to admit that this method is much more convenient than using a stick shadow to measure the day every day. You only need to carve the previously determined year, month, and day on the wooden slips, and you can look at it when the time comes.
It turned out that the competition was scheduled for the beginning of May, and the ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Although Ying Zheng had watched several military competitions in the past two years, when he saw it again this time, he still couldn't help but be disappointed with such a situation.
I feel satisfied with the solemn atmosphere.
Almost all soldiers in black armor were standing guard around the military camp. The unique smell of steel on the weapons and armor was mixed with the smell of sweat and horse leather, and the resolute and iron-blooded man among the generals did not disappear.
It was specifically pointed out, but it was shown everywhere. The couch and other items had already been arranged in the venue. Ying Zheng, supported by a group of people, walked straight over...
In two years, Qin Bing has undergone great changes. Almost everyone has a strong look, like a long sword about to be broken out of its sheath, and even his eyes have murderous intent. In the past few months,
All the water the army drinks is boiled medicinal tea. Although the medicinal taste is not very strong, but it is often drunk to protect the muscles and bones. At the same time, it is exercised with external force, and the results will be obvious soon. Now it is in the national treasury.
Since Yingzheng can exempt and exempt the common people from taxes, he can naturally feed the soldiers the best food. In the past, only third-class nobles and above could only eat a dou of fine rice, half a liter of sauce, and one cup of vegetables per meal.
If you are a third-class noble or below, you can only eat coarse rice. But ordinary soldiers can usually eat enough to eat, which is good enough.
But now that the soldiers have worked hard voluntarily, and Yingzheng has a way to make money like Yi Dao, he will naturally not treat these soldiers badly in terms of food. In addition to the same meals for those above the third class, many more dishes have been added.
Ordinary soldiers can also get half a plate of vegetables and rice. Although they may not be able to eat meat every day, there is a chance of eating meat and oil every now and then. Such meals are not bad, and many people even
It's just like this during the New Year's Day. After the soldiers have had a full meal, they will naturally have more strength. If they win the title, they can eat meat. If they kill the enemy, if their parents or relatives commit crimes, the credit can be offset, or
The soldiers of the Wife Clan parents are slaves and can be converted into civilians. Under various motivations, whether it is to eat meat for every meal or to earn military honors in exchange for the opportunity to enjoy glory, the soldiers are killing the enemy at this time.
The determination is naturally self-evident.
Once they have eaten enough in a few months, their morale will naturally look different. Li Mu sat next to Meng Ao and looked at the soldiers in black armor with amusement: "Meng Gong and Zijian's soldiers
All of them are strong and extraordinary at first sight. Your Majesty is so kind to you, and the envoy also wants to stay in the capital for a few more months." Meng Ao did not speak, but Li Xin was a little unconvinced, and raised his hand to Ying Zheng.
He nodded and then smiled and said: "The general's words make me feel guilty, but I haven't participated in the competition for a long time. I hope the king will be kind and give me a chance to play!" He was following Li Mu after all.
He is a close confidant and was once one of the top three generals many years ago. He began to feel a little bit embarrassed about his identity and felt that it would be a shame if he were to leave the game again.
But now when he looked at Qin Bing's spirits, Li Xin couldn't help but feel a little bit nervous. He had participated in that round of fighting a few years ago. He didn't feel it before, but now that this arena brought back memories, he remembered it very much.
Interestingly, Li Mu knew what he was thinking before and did not report his name, but now Li Xin was so happy that he couldn't help recommending himself.
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Xin, and then moved his eyes to Meng Tianlai, who was standing behind Meng Ao. Meng Tian was over twenty-eight this year, and he began to grow a beard slowly on his lips, making him less attractive.
He was full of heroic spirit, and his whole person instantly became much calmer. To be honest, Ying Zheng was stunned for a long time when he saw his young and mature appearance for the first time, but he was used to having no expression, so even if he was surprised in his heart, he would naturally show it on his face.
He couldn't come out, so Meng Tian didn't know that he had started to grow a beard, which made Ying Zheng speechless for a while. Meng Tian participated in the wrestling competition a few years ago and won the championship twice. After growing a beard, he began to consider himself an old man and refused to
No matter how easy it is to compete with young people, this is similar to Li Xin's idea. When Meng Tian saw Ying Zheng looking over, he was a little embarrassed. He originally thought that it was a good thing that he didn't compete with others for the championship, but at this time, Li Xin was like this
As soon as I said it, I felt a little embarrassed.
"General Li is young and promising, so he went out to try it out!" Ying Zheng praised Li Xin. Li Xin saw him looking at Meng Tian before, so he naturally noticed the beard growing on Meng Tian's lips. He also heard that the king said that he was young and talented.
Why, I couldn't help but wonder to myself, is the king implying that I am now about the same age as General Meng, but I have not grown a beard yet, so I don't look so mature and reliable? When he thought about it, he glanced at Meng Tian again. Meng Tian
Standing next to Meng Wu, Meng Ao was sitting there. Even though Meng Wu was now considered quite important in the Qin State, the old father naturally had no reason for him to sit down at the same place, so he and his son stood side by side. The two father and son
They are both tall and have square faces with thick eyebrows and big eyes. They are very handsome and handsome, but now they have a beard, and Meng Wu is not an old man. Both his beard and hair are black. At this time, he looks not as good as his father and son, but more like him.
Like two brothers, they couldn't help but want to laugh at the first sight, and quickly looked away, but their faces turned red.
Li Xin's expression was noticed by everyone, and Yu Liao naturally guessed what Li Xin was thinking, and immediately said with a wicked smile: "General Meng is heroic, and Little General Meng is also a brave young man. Now the father and son are standing side by side."
Pai, not like father and son, but like brothers." Everyone looked over quickly, and sure enough they saw that the two looked very similar in appearance and figure. Many people couldn't help but cover their mouths with their sleeves and laugh. Wei Zhe was familiar with the Meng family, so there was no need to avoid taboos.
He burst out laughing and said, "This is General Meng in his prime, and Zi Tian is just like his father." Yu Liao and Wei Che sang together, making Meng Tian and Meng Wu extremely embarrassed, and when they looked at each other, they were both quite interested.
The feeling of looking in the mirror makes me stop talking.
Once this episode happened, people in the stadium immediately started talking and laughing, without any formalities, and the atmosphere was joyful. It wasn’t until the soldiers gradually entered the room that the talking and laughing stopped. It was only early May, and although the weather was a bit hot,
However, it is not midsummer yet, and the sunshine is not uncomfortable. Many generals and soldiers have long been accustomed to this kind of sun, and they don't think it is anything.
People stood up on the field. Due to the large number of people, the archery, angle and sword fights at the beginning of the game were almost done by several teams at the same time. The field was divided into several different areas, with space on both sides for the crossbow team.
In a large area, the crossbow team competes to compete with the accuracy and long-range distance of their arrows. Therefore, the tips of the arrow feathers do not have mission protection measures. In order to prevent accidental injury to others, the venue for the crossbow team's competition is sufficient.
It was more than twice as wide as other competition venues, and the distance between the two sides was wide. The other long swords, knives and halberds were all wrapped with thick strips of cloth to avoid accidentally injuring others. A burst of copper was as dense as a sudden raindrop.
After the gongs and drums sounded, the soldiers who had participated in the first round had already stood in the middle of the field. Li Xin's sharp eyes saw that there were several Zhao soldiers who came on stage at this time, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
As usual, Ying Zheng had to give a few words of instruction before he started. Once he spoke, there were at least 4 to 50 thousand people standing in the field that was so big that it was almost impossible to see. But when he spoke,
Only the sound of breathing and the slowly blowing wind were heard, not even a trace of noise was heard. It was obviously a crowded place, but it gave people a feeling of silence to the core. This also shows the strict discipline of Qin soldiers in running the army.
Well, I am afraid that even in this world, he is the only one. Ying Zheng was satisfied, and he said the same words every time. At the end, he smiled and said loudly: "If the gentlemen behave well today, what will happen to the government?"
I will spend 50,000 yuan to hold a banquet in the army, so that you can have a good meal of wine and meat, so that you can be strong today!"
His shouting was already filled with real power. As soon as his voice rang out, it was like shouting in everyone's ears. When the soldiers heard that they had meat to eat and wine to drink, everyone was refreshed and shouted: "There is an envoy."
Endless strength!" At this time, money has not depreciated like in later generations. One and a half taels can buy a lot of things. A bucket of rice only costs two to three and a half taels. Even though meat is more expensive, 50,000 yuan is enough.
You can buy a lot of them. Thinking of eating meat and drinking wine to satisfy your needs, everyone suddenly became restless. Seeing the expressions on the faces of the soldiers, Ying Zheng set a fire again: "Now that the post road is completed,
If you are still on duty as a soldier, if you work on the post road, you will not have to go to the battlefield, and there will be no threat to your life. Today, if you think you are not as capable as others and dare not go to the battlefield to take risks, you can apply to go to the post road!" No one!
Chapter completed!
