Volume 1: Looking Northwest, Shooting the Sirius Chapter 48: The Great Grind
Chai Tiannuo's blood boiled with excitement when he heard this. This is the real Grand Master. He is just a mere appearance. Not only does he only have the power of one blow, but the power is also far behind. He really wants to step into the Grand Master and try to sweep through thousands of people.
The taste of military!
Which real man doesn’t want to possess supreme strength and stand on the top of a lonely mountain?
With the yearning in his heart, the physical throbbing became weaker. After all, Chai Tiannuo has been a human being in two lives. He has experienced the education of his previous life and knows that sixteen is still too young after all.
It is at this juncture when one's stature is growing rapidly, and early contact with men and women will only do harm but no good.
One day, as soon as Chai Tiannuo entered the martial arts school, he felt that the atmosphere was different. No matter how talented the scholar was, everyone had a sad look on his face, as if something big had happened.
Sure enough, at the end of the day, Chai Tiannuo got the news from his instructor, and something really big happened!
The Ministry of War issued a notice early in the morning that all martial arts students, regardless of their talents, would join the army and train for three months. After the training was completed, they would be graded by the local chief officer and their results would be included in the autumn and spring periods.
As soon as this news came out, the martial arts school exploded. Many people were killed and injured in the previous suppression of bandits in the government, which made all living beings unhappy. This time, they directly enlisted in the army, which really cost their lives!
Chai Tiannuo didn't think so. Anyway, the teacher said that if you join the army and you are not a pawn, you are allowed to bring your attendants. It is quite happy to go to the army to kill people and receive rewards.
However, when the lot was drawn to capture the Northwest Frontier Army, Chaitino was dumbfounded.
As for his mother, the land in the northwest is so far away that it would take at least more than a month to go back and forth. Plus three months of hard work, if something happens, Qiu Wei will not be able to catch up!
Li Yichuan happened to be standing by, looking at the annoyed Chai Tiannuo and smiling:
"Okay, you kid, just have some fun. Dahua has a vast territory, and the capital is not far from the northwest. Regardless of the southern border or the western region, which one can't be much further?"
Scratching his head, Chai Tiannuo also smiled, and what he said was true. Although he was not as good as those who were divided into provinces near the capital, compared with those who went to distant frontiers, he was quite close.
"Uncle, are there any unlucky people who have been allocated a territory further than the Southern Xinjiang and Western Regions?"
"Why not? The ten furthest people were assigned to the Northern Territory, and they only had to go back and forth for several months!"
Li Yichuan nodded, and Chai Tiannuo was immediately shocked:
"Ahem, wouldn't they be unable to catch up with Qiu Wei?"
"That's inevitable."
Li Yichuan nodded and sighed:
"The Ministry of War has explained that those who enter the martial arts school are soldiers. Soldiers have to obey orders as their duty. If you can't catch up, you can take the exam again next year. Anyway, you will be given a chance."
Chaitino grinned, saying it was easy. It was only a year, and no one could predict what changes would happen in a year.
Then he remembered something again and couldn't help but get close to Li Yichuan and whisper:
"Uncle, can we, Dahua, still have a hand in that territory in the Northern Territory?"
I can't blame Chaitino for not daring to say this loudly. Although this is a fact known to everyone, people always have some scruples when talking about it.
There is a vast sea of sand between the Northern Territory and Dahua. The road is not only long but also extremely difficult to walk. There is a saying among businessmen that they will escape death.
It is extremely difficult to communicate with each other, and it is intermittent. It is normal for us to be unable to contact each other for a year or two.
Dahua has a territory of millions and possesses 1.5 million armored men. It is a top-notch existence in China.
But the Northern Territory has a territory of more than ten million, with nearly five million in armor, and more than a hundred vassals. If we really mobilize our troops, we can get another six to seven million!
Although the imperial court has always said that the Northern Territory is under the jurisdiction of Dahua, everyone knows that the real person in charge of the Northern Territory is Prince Li Yinze, the Protector-General of the Northern Territory Protectorate.
This group of them has been operating in the Northern Territory for hundreds of years, and their national and military strength cannot be compared to that of Dahua. It is not an exaggeration to say that the people in the Northern Territory only know that they are guardians but do not know Dahua.
Let's talk about the matter of winning the dragon. The biggest reason why Emperor Tianqi was able to win the dragon and ascend the throne smoothly was because he had the support of the Great Protector.
Although the kingdoms of China are fighting endlessly, Dahua, Daxia, Dawei and the grassland royal court are waiting for you to finish singing and I will appear again, but everyone knows that without the involvement of the Northern Territory, these few countries are purely in the snail shell.
Make a dojo.
If it were not blocked by the sea of sand and there was no such thought, the Northern Territory could sweep across the entire Chinese state with just a corner of the land!
"Well, why do you say that the Governor's Mansion of Cheshi is still there? On the surface, Dahua still has some foundation there."
Li Yichuan said with some toothache. Chai Tiannuo raised his eyebrows and came closer:
"Uncle, you are just a soldier of the First Guard, and you still have to rely on the Imperial Guard for logistical support and so on. Can this chariot commander's palace really be regarded as our Dahua's?"
Li Yichuan rubbed his cheeks and said with a wry smile:
"It doesn't matter. After all, I am still from Dahua. Ten people have thrown stones into the sea. Most of them took care of everything and didn't have the leisure to care."
Chaitino grinned and nodded, it really made sense.
In the next three days, Chaitino visited many acquaintances.
He painted a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers and presented it to the shopkeeper for mounting. In recent years, Moxiangju has received a lot of care from him.
"Taiyi is close to the capital of heaven, with mountains and seas connected; the white clouds look back and merge, and the green mist comes in to see nothing."
"The peaks in the field are changing, the clouds are clear and the valleys are different. If you want to stay in a human place, ask the woodcutter across the water."
"Good paintings, good poems, good calligraphy!"
Ma Wenxuan nodded repeatedly, and Chai Tiannuo handed over his hand:
"I've received a lot of care from you these days. I wanted to buy some souvenirs to express my gratitude, but after much thought, I realized that you and I are literary people after all, so that would be too practical."
"Simply give me pictures, calligraphy and paintings. Shopkeeper Ma shouldn't dislike it."
"How could it be!"
Ma Wenxuan shook his head repeatedly:
"I am very happy to have received this masterpiece, which is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
Ma Wenxuan knew that Chai Tiannuo liked wealth, so he used the excuse of having a daughter's fortune. As expected, Chai Tiannuo was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
After leaving the framing shop, Chai Tiannuo bought four sets of beautifully painted goblin fighting albums from a secret source and gave them to the veterans. He said with emotion:
"In my youth, my brothers had a lot to do with it. Thinking of the pimple on my forehead these days, my mood is in turmoil."
"Although these brochures are not as good as real people, they have some charm. But to be honest, brothers, it is better to marry a wife and live your life!"
Big Chu and others just waved their hands to Chaitino to get out, his eyes never leaving the book.
Chai Tiannuo shook his head helplessly and left. A warning came from behind him:
"Don't try to be a hero in battle. No matter how great your martial arts skills are, you can't withstand a mountain of swords. If you die, you will be nothing more than a handful of withered bones."
"I hope you come back and have a drink together!"
Chaitino turned around, saluted, and left with a smile.
"...I want to marry my mother-in-law."
"What do you mean?"
"If you marry a wife and have a son, if you are like a boy, your life will be worth it!"
After leaving the veteran's residence, Chai Tiannuo entered the Xiuchun Pavilion, which he had never entered before. Everyone he knew, including Xi Niang, had a gold bracelet in his hand.
"The bracelet is a little thin, but my sisters don't mind it."
Seeing that Chaitino and Grandet were bleeding profusely, Xi Niang and others cried. Once they went to the border, they really didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
"You heartless coward, the big red envelope has been waiting for you, but you just didn't come. You were completely taught by those four thieves but no courage!"
Chai Tiannuo smiled awkwardly and couldn't blame the brothers. He really had the evil heart but not the courage!
