Chapter 152 Daniu Joins the Army
"Princess, are you looking for me?" Zeng Zhaoming, who came into the Liuli Courtyard, asked respectfully.
"Well, what's the current situation in the army?" Yu Mengqing asked in a deep voice, putting Si'er down from her arms.
"Everything is going smoothly. With your training methods, the new recruits are making rapid progress, especially the archers."
After hearing this, Yu Mengqing finally felt relieved.
Meanwhile, in Qinglin Village.
"Danniu, will you come back here in the future?" Looking at the tall and straight man in front of her, Huang Chunhua finally asked.
"Yes!" A whole row of villagers stood in front of Da Niu.
Here, he clearly felt their enthusiasm.
They did not ignore themselves because of their misfortune, especially Xie Hongzhen and Huang Chunhua.
Even though they were so poor that they could barely make ends meet, they still found doctors to treat their injuries.
For this reason alone, he couldn't just ignore them.
Although he still doesn't know who he is, he is not a fool. He has a feeling that he has an extraordinary identity.
He was good at martial arts and could read and write, and from his words and actions, Daniu knew that he must have come from an extraordinary family.
"Don't worry too much about this, Da Niu. Joining the army is dangerous. We don't need you to earn a lot of money or hold a high position. As long as you are safe, that's all that matters."
Xie Hongzhen on the side also explained in detail.
"Yes, as long as everyone is safe, that's all that matters. If we don't have money, we can just use less. Besides, the white tiger that Daniu killed has already been sold for over two thousand taels, which is enough to support our small village for several years."
The villagers began to speak.
The white tiger weighed over a thousand pounds, and when it was taken to the county town to be sold, it was snapped up.
Not to mention the restaurants, even the herbal medicine shops couldn't help but rush out to buy at high prices.
In the end, there was no other choice but to sell the white tiger separately.
The tiger penises are given to the medicine shop, while the tiger meat is distributed to the restaurant.
I didn't expect that if this was separated, it would sell for more money.
After returning, he didn't keep a penny for himself.
Three hundred taels were left for Xie Hongzhen and his grandson, and the rest was distributed to other villagers.
Three hundred taels are enough to support Xie Hongzhen and his grandson for half their lives.
This village is actually not rich, but Da Niu just likes them.
With this money, their lives will be much better than before.
You know, their usual income comes only from farming.
On ordinary days, one or two taels of silver was often enough for their entire family to eat for a year.
After taking another look at the village, Da Niu turned around and strode away.
"Daniu..." Huang Chunhua shouted again.
Anyone could hear the reluctance in her words.
But Daniel just paused for a moment and continued to leave.
Since she doesn't like it, it won't give her any illusions.
To join the army, one must go to the capital. Since Daniu has no horse, he can only rely on his legs.
It was also at this time that he realized how important money was.
Only when he opened his luggage did he discover that there was a silver note stuffed inside.
When he opened it, he found that there was actually one hundred taels of silver inside.
He knew without guessing that it must have been put down by Xie Hongzhen and his grandson.
He smiled bitterly and put the silver money back in his arms.
It was just right that he could use the money to rent an ox cart.
Originally he wanted to buy a horse, but Da Niu knew that in the Great Xia Kingdom, it was not easy to buy a horse if you were not an official.
He didn't know how far this place was from the capital, but for some reason, he seemed to have a very familiar feeling about the capital.
In the military camp.
After the confinement period, Yu Mengqing basically stayed in the army.
"How many new recruits have we recruited now?" Yu Mengqing asked Li Xionghui who was standing beside her.
"It's almost 20,000." Li Xionghui said excitedly.
This number exceeded his expectations.
The most important thing is that these batches of food and fodder are extremely delicious.
He often heard new recruits say that the food in the barracks was delicious. The word spread more and more, and everyone outside the barracks knew about it.
This way, new recruits can be recruited faster.
The most important thing is that this group of recruits has physical fitness that exceeds all the recruits he has ever seen.
With the training of Princess Zhan, it can be said to be perfect.
"Where are the archers? Take me over to see them." Yu Mengqing asked again.
This archer was taught by her personally, so his skill is indeed of great significance.
The most important thing is that on the battlefield, the most powerful people are actually archers.
If the archer is good enough, he can take the enemy's head without any soldiers.
Therefore, archery is also an aspect that she focuses on training.
"Princess Zhan, please follow me here."
Yu Mengqing nodded and followed behind him.
Sure enough, there were entire rows of people standing neatly together in the training ground.
Holding an archer in his hand at the same time.
It felt like military training at the end of the world, and the scene was very shocking.
After seeing their movements and postures when shooting arrows with her own eyes, Yu Mengqing finally felt relieved.
It seems that Li Xionghui is training them according to his own requirements.
This Li Xionghui was the coach that Yu Mengqing shamelessly asked for later. He was very good at training.
Originally, he was the coach in the Guo Mansion. By chance, he was noticed by her and was brought to the military camp.
Yu Mengqing had originally arranged for him to come here to train new recruits because she was impressed by his ability to follow orders and train people.
At the beginning, he was naturally a little dissatisfied with himself.
But as time went by, I gradually let go of my prejudice against him.
"Princess Zhan, do we still need to recruit new soldiers now?" Li Xionghui asked again.
"Recruit. New recruits are needed at all times. Just do your best to recruit them." Yu Mengqing replied.
Judging from the development of the Great Xia Kingdom in recent years, the war cannot be ended in one or two years.
So new recruits must be injected continuously.
Seeing that Li Xionghui did not give orders immediately after she finished speaking, Yu Mengqing knew what he was worried about.
So he said, "Don't worry about food and supplies. I have my own way."
Now the food and grass in her space are enough for these soldiers to eat for several years, so there is no need to worry about food and grass at all.
