Yun Zheng didn't take his marriage with Jia Yao to heart.
All his energy was spent on preparing the new army.
As for the Guiyi Army, Yun Zheng still adhered to his usual principle: there should be people from several countries in one garrison, so that people from different countries can supervise each other to avoid chaos.
The 40,000 Guiyi Army was expanded on the basis of the more than 10,000 people under Fu Tianyan.
Those who had made contributions in the previous battle could serve as middle and lower-level generals.
Fu Tianyan, Huo Gu, Zuo Ren and Gao He each led 10,000 men.
In view of their good performance in the previous battle, Yun Zheng also allocated 10,000 war horses to the Guiyi Army, forming 5,000 cavalry, and assigned them to Fu Tianyan's troops.
After sorting out the matters of preparing the new army, Yun Zheng led people to Du Guiyuan's tomb to pay tribute to Du Guiyuan.
On the way back, Yun Zheng kept thinking about what to do next.
After completing the preliminary preparations, the 40,000 Guiyi troops will be trained separately.
...
...
As for the newly prepared 20,000 standing troops, this is relatively simple.
Originally, these 20,000 people were an organized reserve force, and now all they need to do is to intensify their training.
The more troops Yun Zheng has, the greater the pressure on supplies and the more food they consume.
Fortunately, Shuobei has just completed the autumn harvest.
They will definitely not run out of food in the short term.
However, by next summer, there will probably still be some food shortages.
We still have to get food from inside the country!
Yun Zheng was thinking all the way back to the Yanhuishan camp. Before he could even sit down, Yu Shizhong came to him.
"Your Highness, the people below reported that more than a dozen prisoners froze to death last night..."
Yu Shizhong frowned, with a look of deep worry on his face.
"Is someone freezing to death so soon?"
Yun Zheng also frowned, "This is not good news!"
Now is not the coldest time in Shuobei.
People are freezing to death so early in the morning. When it gets the coldest, I'm afraid there will be more than just a dozen people freezing to death.
By then, the number of prisoners freezing to death every day would probably be hundreds or even more.
But right now, they don’t have so many cold-resistant supplies!
The cold-weather supplies in their army are barely enough, how could they have so many cold-weather supplies for the prisoners?
Damn it!
It’s not easy to maintain an army, and these prisoners are not easy to maintain either!
Nowadays the weather is getting colder day by day.
We can't let these captives stay in tents or caves all day and act like the bosses, can we?
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this matter can't be delayed any longer."
Yu Shizhong said worriedly: "We have to find a way to transfer cold-weather supplies as soon as possible, otherwise, these prisoners may all freeze to death on the road before they are delivered."
"Just talking about allocation, there must be so many!"
Yun Zheng rubbed his forehead and couldn't stop worrying.
"Can we buy it from inside the country?"
Yu Shizhong asked tentatively.
They captured Qiuchi and seized a large amount of gold, silver and treasures.
You don't have to worry about money in the short term.
"It must have been purchased from inside the country."
Yun Zheng rubbed his head, "However, it will take time to purchase cold-weather supplies for so many people from inside the Great Wall..."
Yun Zheng thought silently for a while and soon made a decision.
Collect the cold-resistant supplies from the farm soldiers and send them over to the captives to wear first.
As for those field soldiers, they should stay at home when they should, and hide at home when they should.
They are busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, so just give them some time to rest.
After purchasing a large amount of cold-resistant supplies from the interior, they will be distributed to the farmers.
The soldiers in the field can rest, but the prisoners cannot rest!
Yu Shizhong's eyes lit up and he said happily, "I'll arrange it right away!"
"Okay, go ahead!"
Yun Zheng nodded. "Before the cold-weather supplies arrive, let the prisoners find a place to avoid the cold! We can ask them to collect more hay and bring back as few people as possible to freeze to death..."
"yes!"
Yu Shizhong immediately took the order and left.
Yun Zheng sat in the room for a while, then stood up and walked outside.
Nowadays, the Yanhuishan camp is busy inside and outside.
While the weather is not too cold, the soldiers in the camp are seizing the time to improve the barracks. They also need to collect fodder for the war horses to survive the winter.
It's a long winter and they have so much to prepare.
Yun Zheng searched the camp for a long time before finally finding Qin Qihu in the forging workshop in the camp.
Seeing Yun Zheng, Qin Qihu immediately ran over with the mace he had personally supervised making, and said happily: "Brother, you came just in time! Take a look at my new weapon."
"Let me see."
Yun Zheng took the mace from Qin Qihu.
As soon as you hold it, you will feel its heavy feeling.
Even though Yun Zheng and Miaoyin had been practicing dual cultivation for such a long time, they still felt a little strenuous holding the mace in their hands.
"This must be about 70 kilograms, right?"
Yun Zheng looked at Qin Qihu in astonishment.
"Seventy-eight pounds!"
Qin Qihu chuckled and said proudly: "This is definitely the heaviest weapon in the army!"
Qin Qihu is now deeply in love with the weapon mace.
No matter whether it's a broadsword or a spear, they will be defeated by his mace.
With this blow, no armor will be of any use!
It's simply a case of destroying gods and destroying Buddhas!
"Beast!"
Yun Zheng complained weakly and returned the mace to Qin Qihu, "The Bloody Army should take a break these few days. Come with me to Fuzhou in a few days! You don't have to go this time. Let Lu Xing lead the troops."
"ah?"
Qin Qihu's face changed drastically, and he looked at Yun Zheng with a dull look, "Brother, you are not going to..."
"What are you thinking about!"
Yun Zheng looked at Qin Qihu with amusement, "If I want to rebel, will I lead the Bloody Army?"
"oh oh."
Qin Qihu laughed dryly and asked, "Then why are you going to Fuzhou?"
Yun Zheng said with a headache: "Jia Yao and I are going to hold a wedding in Fuzhou. The third brother will definitely take the opportunity to harm me. If you go, the third brother may ask father to rebel against you, which will make it difficult for father..."
“So that’s how it is!”
Qin Qihu suddenly realized, and asked in confusion: "Didn't you not receive the order?"
He had heard that Emperor Wen sent someone to convey the order for Yun Zheng and Jia Yao to get married in Fuzhou.
But he didn't know what happened next.
"My father personally came to Shuobei. If I hadn't married Jiayao, he would have gone to the Beihuan Royal Court."
Yun Zheng rubbed his head and pulled Qin Qihu aside again, "It just so happens, there is something I need you to help me with."
As of now, Yun Zheng has not made up his mind.
He was still thinking about whether he should find someone to marry him in place of Jiayao.
"Ah? This..."
Qin Qihu was very upset. "Aren't you going to pay respects to His Majesty the day after your wedding? If you find someone to replace Jiayao, won't you be exposed by then?"
"Isn't this simple?"
Yun Zheng said calmly: "I have already thought about it. I will be alone during the wedding ceremony, and I will take Jia Yao with me when I go to pay my respects to the emperor! It means that except for the wedding ceremony, all other matters will be handled by Jia Yao..."
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Qin Qihu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Is this possible?
"Brother, isn't this the same as what you said about taking off your pants and farting?"
Qin Qihu was completely unable to understand Yun Zheng's thinking.
If Jia Yao really couldn't spare the time, it would be understandable for him to do this.
But since Jia Yao is coming, why should he do this?
His marriage with Jia Yao was settled in the form of a letter from the emperor!
Isn’t it the same whether they worship in the hall or not?
Why did he make such a fuss?
Yun Zheng sighed softly, "I just feel that if we get married, we can really become husband and wife in the future..."
"Whether you get married or not, you are still husband and wife!"
Qin Qihu still couldn't understand Yun Zheng's idea. "From the moment you exchanged letters of credence, you are officially husband and wife! Ask the people in this camp, who dares to say that you are not husband and wife?"
Qin Qihu really wanted to pry open Yun Zheng’s head to see what was going on in his mind.
Letter from the emperor!
brother!
Do you think the national secretary is a joke?
Even if he never touches Jiayao in this life, Jiayao will never marry again.
Jia Yao wants to marry someone else. Regardless of whether Yun Zheng agrees or not, the entire Northern Army will not agree!
After listening to Qin Qihu's words, Yun Zheng felt even more headache.
have to!
You should think about it again yourself!
