A procession of oxcarts passed by, with a gorgeous carriage in the middle, followed by its own servants. The carriage pulled away and said something to a young man, showing a childish but beautiful face, wearing a white fox coat tightly.
Qiu was a little sick, so the young man ordered: "Go slowly."
He sighed secretly in his heart. His sister was traveling with her when she was suddenly frightened and fell into a coma for several days. He felt very sorry for her. Fortunately, she was fine. She had to take good care of her.
"Yes, sir." A servant responded, walking slowly and "squeaking" along the official road. The young man nodded with satisfaction, looked far away for a breath, and his mind turned to a place not far away.
Households.
I saw a series of side rooms. First of all, there was a gate, but it was very simple. There were constant shouts of killing inside. The young man was very surprised. He looked carefully.
I saw a wooden high platform on the field. A man wearing white clothes and a crown was sitting under a flag. To the left and right of this man were two strong men. One stood holding a white flag, and the other stood solemnly holding a sword.
The young man's eyes suddenly lit up and he praised: "These two are really strong men."
Under the stage, the second team was fighting against each other.
Looking carefully, I found that there were three teams, totaling three hundred. At this time, the two teams were holding wooden shields and wooden knives. Even the wooden knives were wrapped in linen and with lime. They were fighting with each other, or in formation, or with flags and drums, or advancing or retreating, shouting to kill.
There is a continuous sound of drums and drums, but from a distance, the whole place is orderly and has a vague atmosphere of military formation.
The young man's eyes were immediately filled with incredulity, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "This fierceness..."
An old man in the distance saw the young man looking away and asked kindly: "Is there something wrong, Master?"
"Mi Zhu, may I ask my father, which family is this and how come they have so many elite soldiers?" The young man stood up straight and asked.
"Alas, sir, you asked the right person," the old man sighed: "This is the blessing of our ancestors. My ancestors smoked green smoke. Others really can't compare."
Seeing Mi Zhu's surprise, he said one by one: "Back then, the Liu family was poor and had to sell straw sandals to make a living. I didn't expect that this year, my ancestors would come to me in a dream, and there would be green smoke coming out of the ancestral graves. Some fortune tellers said that this person must be the one to revive the great Han Dynasty."
Then he pointed to the mulberry tree again: "You see, although it is autumn and winter now, the leaves have fallen off, but it is only a few feet tall. It will not be as good in summer, so noble people have to be born."
"Not long ago, Liu Jiazi attacked thieves at night. Seventeen of them beheaded ninety-one thieves. The county magistrate specially rewarded them. Later, the counties and prefectures recruited volunteers and formed this army."
"At this time, Zhang Fei, a wealthy man in the county, and the knight-errant hero Guan Yu sworn sworn sworn relatives, and sold them all to use them as military supplies."
"The Gan family was grateful to the Liu family for saving their lives, and betrothed them to their daughter. The wedding was completed ten days ago, and they gave three hundred gold as a dowry. Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang also gave five hundred taels, fifty good horses, and one thousand catties of iron.
"
"This was originally a thatched hut. After buying the land, hundreds of people worked on it, and it was expanded to this point. There are 300 people inside.
Mi Zhu heard the praises again and again, and looked at the old man a few times, and saw that he was thin and small, with wrinkles on his face, so he sighed and said: "I see, I don't think even the old man in your hometown speaks politely and has extraordinary connotations. This is
Please accept it as you like.”
After saying that, he gave the hanging money, and the old man thanked him repeatedly. He walked away, but he smiled secretly: "The Liu family hired us. As long as we recite this passage, we can get a hundred coins, and we will be rewarded from time to time."
The sun was shining brightly at this time, and I saw Guan and Zhang, wearing black and white cloth belts on their foreheads, divided into two teams to practice, fighting with shields and knives, shouting and killing, Ye Qing watched with squinted eyes, and smiled.
The Ye family's non-commissioned officers have become the basis, the airs have been put up at once, and the training has rules. Although these are new recruits in appearance, many confrontations have resulted in many wounded.
Seeing two waves of pale soldier energy impacting in the sky, the losers kept retreating. After fighting for a while, the winner was determined. Guan Yu came up with Huo Chang: "Brother, this time, someone wins."
"If you win, you will get a reward. Come and kill the sheep." Ye Qing said, and immediately two sheep were slaughtered. A big pot was set up, the hot soup was boiling, and the mutton of the sheep was overflowing. The camp was bustling.
Seeing the completion, Ye Qing secretly wiped his hands in a cold sweat: "Are these all new recruits?"
"Why didn't my family have such fierce recruits before? When we came out of the grassland, if we had this group of foundations, some larger tribes could be attacked and wiped out."
Unlike Zhou Feng, who also had feelings for Qi Qi, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were a little puzzled: "This is very strange? This is nothing compared to what I saw in Qingzhou."
Ye Qing recalled some information about Earth and finally understood it.
A characteristic of the Qin and Han dynasties is that "the ancient times are not far away, and the people's customs are martial." The entire Han Dynasty, except for Bashu, had strong soldiers.
Therefore, the Qin Dynasty used troops, Lishan served as slaves, and the people of Luzuo were all subject to conscription.
In the Han Dynasty, there were so-called "seven subjects of relegation" - one was a guilty official, the other was a fugitive, the third was a son-in-law, and the fourth was a Jiaren, so there were five people with city registration, six parents with city registration, and seven families with eldest parents. These seven types of "sinners"
"All of them can be sent to the army at any time, and then there are "relaxation of punishment", "evil boy", "brave", "running for life", "can be healthy"... These are all sent out without special training, and the Han army is often incapable of fighting.
If you don't win, you can conquer everything.
In the past, it was just information, or the enemy felt weak, but now seeing the imprint of the long river of time with his own eyes, Ye Qing was deeply shocked - how could it be that the Chao people could rise in the wilderness for no reason?
The barbarians are barbaric, and I am more barbaric than the barbarians. The barbarians are ferocious, and I am more ferocious than the barbarians. Those who offend my strong men will be punished no matter how far away they are. This is the connotation of the spirit of martial arts.
Li Ling of the former Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu, and Banchao of the later Han Dynasty fought against the Western Regions. They both used infantry to defeat the barbarian cavalry. There are many reasons for reversing the inferiority of arms. However, no matter how good the weapons and tactics are, they are inseparable from people. In a farming country,
Being able to defeat the grassland step by step is the afterglow of the Han people's morale and a swan song in the history of war.
"Pioneering and enterprising, generous service, never imagined that the chivalrous spirit of the Han Dynasty would have such a deep mass soil at this time, which is definitely not comparable to the underworld in later generations. Compared with the general trend of this era, some people worship Guan Gong, so-called full of loyalty, but in fact they are evil.
A rat is first-class, not even worthy of carrying shoes."
But Ye Qing knows history and understands that the Three Kingdoms have exhausted this afterglow. The strength of the Han army quickly went from one against five, to one against one, and finally five against one... The equipment is getting better and better, and the fighting spirit is getting better and better.
Rotten and declining are not enough to describe it.
Ye Qingsao looked at the lively eating scene below.
The winner does not eat alone. The good meat goes to the winner, and the soup and scraps go to the loser. They all share the meal happily, which has a Han style.
There was a lot of noise from the crowd watching at the door. They all wanted to join the army and eat meat.
Ye Qing burst into laughter and did not come back to his senses. He asked someone to write down the names and compile a book, waiting to fill the vacancies or wait until the army is expanded.
"Now that I'm here, now that I've been exposed to this side, how can I let the sun set?" In his mind, Liu Bei's original ambition to revive the Han Dynasty gradually became a little heavier.
"Let's go, two worthy brothers, let's go together."
Several people were chatting and laughing about joining the meat feast, and were about to eat and drink. At this moment, a person came in and reported: "There is a young master named Mi Zhu who wants to see you."
"What?" Ye Qing was startled. He didn't believe it at first and then looked away.
He saw a gorgeous carriage at the door, and a young man got out. This man was very handsome, and he didn't look like a businessman. Ye Qing just took a look at this man, and saw that the clouds on his head were golden, and there was still some greenness, and he immediately knew: "This is There is no doubt that the person is Mi Zhu, but why are you here?"
"Yes, he is a businessman and travels to various places."
It is said that wealth has the power to influence the gods. If the annual salary is 300,000 yuan, it will still be full of white energy. If it is more than 300,000 yuan, it will be red energy. If it is three million yuan, it will be yellow energy. If it is five million yuan, it will be golden.
Mi Zhu was a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou. His ancestors had been engaged in farming for generations, had child servants, had nearly 10,000 customers, and had assets of more than one million yuan, which was equivalent to at least hundreds of millions in RMB.
Although total assets and annual income are different, Danqing has total assets of hundreds of millions. Not many people in the Han Dynasty had this kind of wealth, and it must be this person.
In the Han Dynasty, there was no special discrimination against merchants. With such great wealth, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian appointed him as a special agent. Historically, when Liu Bei arrived in Xuzhou, he was his biggest supporter, especially when Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu and fell into poverty. Liu Bei was of great help, and his younger brother Mi Fang refused Cao Cao's appointment to follow Liu Bei.
It can be said that this is Liu Bei's biggest sponsor in history. Therefore, after the establishment of Shu Han, he was General Anhan, with a position above Zhuge Liang. Together with Sun Qian and Jian Yong, he was the highest-paid veteran official of Shu Han.
Ye Qing stood up quickly, stepped forward, bowed, and took over the conversation: "Liu Bei, Queen of the Mountains, named Xuande, has met Mr. Mi."
"Liu Bei?" Mi Zhu frowned, then woke up and politely said: "Mi Zhu has met your Excellency."
"In front of Mr. Mi, I don't dare to call you "sir". Just call me Xuande. But do you know that I am Liu Bei, sir?" Ye Qing did not miss the strange expression on his face.
Mi Zhu smiled: "Just now in front of the door, there was a villager singing the praises. I have heard about it a long time ago..."
After saying that, he glanced around and praised: "The fruit is well-deserved. If nothing else, just seeing this soldier, Xuande's future achievements will be limitless."
Strangely enough, he felt friendly as soon as he saw Ye Qing, and immediately started talking to Ye Qing, his eyes were a little warm, and his words were full of admiration.
"Do I have the spirit of a king?" Ye Qing secretly laughed and glanced at the sign of Mi Mansion on the carriage. According to historical records, Mi Zhu was a wealthy businessman from Donghai County, Xuzhou in the south. He had been a merchant for generations, had thousands of children, and had a fortune of over 100 million. Originally, this was Liu Bei's subordinates are upright and honest, and have a high degree of compatibility with Liu Bei.
"I have been unlucky for several lifetimes, but this time I have the aura of being the protagonist of Liu Bei. This straw-shoe man, because he has not been educated in the knowledge of the system, has never had a stable and good life for a few days in his life, but he has a large number of die-hard followers who follow him. This anger Luck is really strong.”
Thinking like this, Ye Qing smiled again: "This is not a place for talking. Meeting each other is fate. I also invite Brother Mi to come in and talk about Taoism over wine."
Mi Zhu was also very happy: "Xuan De has invited me, I dare not obey, but I have to call my sister-in-law. She is traveling a lot and is not feeling well, so she is about to rest."
"Then please come quickly. Although this place is simple, you can still take a rest."
