Chapter 984: Board the ship and sail eastward

 If he can support an army of ten thousand, Li Qinzai can certainly also support Zheng Sanlang.

But Zheng Sanlang's terrifying appetite really frightened him.

Now I finally understand that Zheng Sanlang will go to the city to pull carts for others. His food intake alone can be equivalent to five acres of farmland at home. It is impossible for a poor farming family to afford him.

Liu Asi also looked shocked. There were many people in the Li family, all of them were burly men. The people also wolfed down every meal.

But no one was like Zheng Sanlang, who ate almost as much as five adults in one meal.

"Fifth Young Master, how about... send him back?" Liu Asi asked tentatively.

This food is so delicious. Before setting off for the expedition, Buqu brought a lot of food, most of which was meat. They secretly gave Li Qinzai extra food. If there was an extra Zheng Sanlang in Buqu's bodyguard, Li Qinzai would be ready within three to five days.

He had to eat wild vegetable dumplings like the soldiers.

Zheng Sanlang can make all the food for Li Qinzai and his subordinates by himself. The dignified commander of the First Army has no other choice but to eat wild vegetable dumplings.

Li Qinzai shook his head: "We can't retreat. Talents are rare. I can lead an army of ten thousand to go on an expedition. If I can't even support a big man, it's a joke."

Liu Asi hesitated and said: "Really keep him? Fifth Young Master, with Zheng Sanlang here, you will really want to eat wild vegetable dumplings in a few days. I'm afraid the food we brought is not enough..."

Li Qinzai's expression became gloomy, he rubbed his face vigorously, and sighed: "Give Zheng Sanlang enough food, but... give less meat, try to keep the meat for me."

Liu Asi nodded sadly. For some reason, he felt a sense of sadness that a hero was at the end of his rope.

The pampered Fifth Young Master actually wants to live frugally. What is the difference between this and the King Chu Ba by the Wujiang River?

"Also, after we march and camp, we all have to work hard and go hunting nearby to supplement our meat supply... I want to eat meat and don't want to eat wild vegetable dumplings." Li Qinzai sighed.

Liu Asi clasped his fists sadly: "Don't worry, Fifth Young Master, our brothers Paoze will never starve you, and we can also support Zheng Sanlang."

…………

Two days later, the weather finally cleared up in Dengzhou.

Li Qin Zai Mingbu invited several experienced fishermen to politely ask them for their weather forecasts.

The fishermen were flattered by the commander of the First Army, Corporal Li Xian, and immediately spoke out their predictions about the weather without any reservations.

The good news is that after the rain, there should be no such bad weather in the next half month. Most of the weather will be sunny. The fishermen have already gathered at Dengzhou Port and plan to go fishing. At this time, the army boarded the boat and set off.

, it’s a good time.

Li Qinzai was overjoyed. After seeing off the fishermen, he immediately ordered the drums to be beaten to gather the generals.

After the three drums were played, all the generals gathered in the commander's tent. Li Qinzai ordered that rice be made at three o'clock tomorrow. At three o'clock in the morning, the whole army boarded the ship and marched to the Japanese country.

The generals were rejoicing, because the heavy rain had stayed in Dengzhou for many days, and the soldiers had already been a little irritable waiting. They could only stay in the camp in the rainy weather, and everyone was so idle that they almost fell apart.

Today, I finally received the military order to board the ship and set off, and there was a burst of cheers in the commander's tent.

Li Qinzai also smiled. To be honest, he couldn't wait to set off. Counting the days, it was time for Li Ji to lead the army in the Eastern Expedition. Maybe he would soon wait for the news of Li Ji's oath of war in Chang'an.

Li Qinzai's army was a partial division, and it had to cooperate with Li Ji's main army to attack Goguryeo from the north and south. This trip could not be delayed, as the time was very tight.

After the accounts were dismissed, the generals bid farewell to Li Qinzai and went back excitedly to prepare their troops and pack their weapons in preparation for the expedition.

Wang Fangyi was last, and just as he saluted and said goodbye to Li Qinzai, the light suddenly dimmed in the handsome tent, and Zheng Sanlang's iron tower-like body blocked the door of the handsome tent.

Seeing Zheng Sanlang's strong and burly figure, Wang Fangyi was surprised. Looking at the knotted tendons on Zheng Sanlang's arms, Wang Fangyi's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "What a man!"

Li Qinzai glanced at Zheng Sanlang and said with a smile: "The personal guard unit I just collected in Dengzhou is good, isn't it? He can kneel in front of you and choke you with one punch. Please don't die."

Wang Fangyi's cheek twitched and he laughed dryly: "Li Shuai is really... funny, haha."

Then Wang Fangyi continued to look at Zheng Sanlang and sighed: "He is indeed a good man, Li Shuai. It is a bit unworthy to stay with him as a personal guard. Although our army has sharp firearms such as three-eyed blunderbuss, it is not true that other arms have been abolished." Should."

"If a Mo Dao battalion cooperates with the three-eyed gun to attack the enemy, it will increase the chance of winning in a war. This big man's stature and strength are a natural Mo Dao hand."

Li Qinzai's eyes lit up.

Modaoying? The most invincible meat grinding machine in the Tang army. I have heard of its fame as early as in the previous life.

However, due to the advent of the firearm invented by Li Qinzai and the army being equipped with firearms, the Modao Battalion seemed to have been gradually dismantled. After all, the cost of maintaining a Modao team for the imperial court was ridiculously high.

Not only was the selection of soldiers very strict, they had to be burly men to be able to wield a sword weighing tens of kilograms, but it also cost a lot of money in terms of food and weapons. In the long run, the burden on the court was not small.

So after firearms were equipped with the army, the cost-effectiveness of the Modao Battalion was no longer so high, and the court gradually made plans to dismantle it. This time, when Li Qinzai led the army on an expedition, the Modao Battalion was not equipped with this unit.

Wang Fangyi was once the governor of Anxi and had been exposed to firearms for a relatively short time. Perhaps he still had feelings for the Mod Dao, a cold weapon with huge destructive properties, so he subconsciously said this.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the intention.

Li Qinzai looked at Zheng Sanlang, pondered for a long time, and remembered Wang Fangyi's words.

Firearms cannot represent everything. Talents are the key to determining the outcome of a war. The power of the Mo Swordsman of the Tang Dynasty is world-famous.

On top of the battle formation, whenever there is a phalanx of Mo swords wielding the Mo sword, any creature that can breathe will be chopped to pieces by the Mo sword.

Sometimes a Mo Dao team of hundreds of people can change the success or failure of a war. It is truly indestructible and indestructible.

How could such a powerful battlefield meat grinder be abandoned just because of the emergence of firearms?

Li Qinzai secretly decided that after arriving in Japan, he would select tall and strong men from the entire army, first form a Modao battalion, and then appoint an instructor to teach and practice Modao hands.

Zheng Sanlang, a big man, needs to be used more seriously. After eating so much of my food, I can't eat it in vain. When the Modao dances, people will get excited.

Of course, the most important thing now is to board the ship tomorrow and wait until we get to Japan.

The next day, the streets of Dengzhou City were deserted. Officials and people of Dengzhou gathered at the port, looking at the flags covering the sun and the festival flags like clouds. More than a hundred ships were moored in the port and 10,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty lined up to board the ships.

.

After a long and exciting drum beat, the horn horns on the ships emitted a long and shocking blast. More than a hundred ships, loaded with soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, set out for the Japanese country.

In the open space at the port, Dengzhou officials and people bowed solemnly to the sailing ships that were moving away.

Explore the tiger's den and enter the Jiao Palace, look up to the sky and exhale and a white rainbow will appear.

The Tang Dynasty was victorious!
