Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

As the Chinese and foreign government's levy orders were issued, it took a few days for the armies to gather. Li Tai has been checking military supplies for several days, and today he finally took time to inspect the camp.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also brought Wang Gu, the Jiangling envoy who was still a guest here, with him. Wang Gu was a Buddhist and a vegetarian, so he felt that the many days of hospitality at Hongbin Tower had little effect, so he simply asked him to see if the troops in the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion were strong.

After the Huainan War ended last year, there were no major wars in the area under the jurisdiction of the General Administration. Even if there were military operations, they were mostly small-scale sporadic battles such as suppressing bandits and pacifying the rebellious barbarians.

After nearly a year of recuperation, all the troops were in high spirits. When they learned that another combat mission had been issued, all the generals came forward one after another to ask for battle. Li Tai's series of wars since his debut have long given his soldiers the belief of being victorious, and they are all very eager to make contributions and become famous in the following wars.

With such a mentality, in today's martial arts exercises, all the troops also performed with great concentration, paying as much attention to them as in real battlefield battles, and their performances were naturally very impressive.

Li Tai watched all the way, and his heart was full of pride. He wanted to copy one or two poems to boost his morale, but after all, he was not a professional and could not show much on the spot. Most of the military themes that came to his mind were from the Tang Dynasty and later. Very relevant to the moment.

On the other hand, Wang Gu, who was a guest at the ceremony, wrote a song "Yange Xing" on the spot. Although Li Tai thought his level was average, he still described and praised today's martial arts scene, so he took out a Mian. The long knives forged and produced in Beidu are to be presented to Wang Gu.

But before the knife was delivered to Wang Gu, a shout of "Save someone under the knife" was heard outside the school grounds, which made him a little confused.

Not long after, Wang Fan, the guy who broke into the school grounds and violated the ban, was captured and dragged all the way to the ordering platform.

Under Wang Gu's explanation, which looked embarrassed, Li Taicai thought of Wang Sengbian's son who had been left behind. It's not that he doesn't pay enough attention to it, it's just that everything is more important than this recently, so he doesn't take it into consideration for a while.

"You are the son of the leader of the King of Jiangling? Not to mention your violation of the camp ban, what is the meaning of the raucous words just now?"

Li Tai stood on the high platform, looking down at Wang Yan who was exhausted below the stage and asked in a deep voice.

Wang Yan was already sweating on his forehead at this moment. Until now, Wang Gu was still standing on the stage intact, and his body and head were not missing. He still didn't understand that he had misunderstood just now. However, with thousands of soldiers watching on the campus, this misunderstanding was difficult to explain for a while, so Wang Huan just lowered his head in silence without saying a word.

After waiting for a moment and receiving no answer, Li Tai snorted coldly. He walked down the high platform slowly and sat down under the tent next to the school ground. Then he had Wang Fan escorted in and looked at the young man who still refused to speak. He sneered and said, "You see that our troops are well prepared in the town, and they seem to be preparing for war, so you suspect that I will use Jiangling's military strategy and kill the envoys and sacrifice the flag here today, right?"

After Wang Fan heard this, he suddenly showed a look of shock. Soon after, he hurriedly lowered his head, but he no longer remained silent, but said in a solemn voice: "The common people are stupid and narrow-minded, and they want to overstep the ambition of the general. What he committed is I am imprisoned in the camp, and I am willing to accept the punishment. I just ask the general to be lenient and tolerant, and never give up..."

"Dare to admit your mistakes and be punished, you can be taught as a child. But do you know what kind of punishment you should receive in our army if you break the camp ban?"

When Li Tai heard this, his expression softened slightly, and then he asked again.

"The general manages the army strictly and has observed it before entering the camp. If the military orders are prohibited, the punishments and rewards must be extreme. If you violate the camp prohibitions, you may be punished with death. Although the common people are not afraid of death, I sincerely ask for help from those who don't know. To serve as a reprieve, sacrifice your life, and perform meritorious deeds, but if you have any merit, it all belongs to the general. If you can kill an enemy, you will be worthy of your service!"

Wang Yan paused and bowed his head to the ground. His tone was hesitant and trembling at first, but by the end he became firm.

Li Tai originally had no intention of killing the man, and he only wanted to intimidate him by asking this question. But after hearing Wang Fan's answer, he couldn't help but be amazed in his heart, raised his hand and ordered: "Untie him."

After Wang Huan was released, he put his hands on the ground and waited for punishment.

"Stand up."

Li Tai first signaled to the king to exempt him from the gift, and then said with a smile: "Now that you have reached this point, your father must have informed you of his previous intentions. Although we have no relatives here, who would be willing to be a dog guarding the house under the fence? When I entered Kansai, I was not as old as you are now, so why didn’t I have no relatives? But since I came here, I am at ease. With such determination, why can’t I stand out?”

Wang Yan was still a little uneasy at first, worried that Li Tai might hold him accountable and he still had his heart set on Jiangling. But after hearing these words, he felt greatly inspired and instantly found the spiritual compatibility between himself and General Li. , Xuan Ji bowed deeply again and said: "How dare a common man compare himself to a great general? He is just following the example, but to be able to gain one or two qualities is a great honor and comfort for the rest of his life!"

Li Tai laughed when he heard this, and then asked the king about his civil and military talents, and then said with a smile: "Since your father paid you to me, of course you can't leave it idle. You are willing to write for me, Or in front of the knife-catching tent?"

"Thank you, General, for your appreciation! This young servant is stubborn and foolish, and is not known for his knowledge. He is willing to serve as a guard under the master's command! But, whatever he does, he must obey the master's arrangement!"

After waiting for many days, something happened, and Wang Yan was naturally in a state of ups and downs, but fortunately, he finally had a solution and would not continue to wander aimlessly.

"There are quite a lot of people in front of my tent who are willing to obey orders. If you want to obey orders for this purpose, then you have to pay more attention!"

After hearing this, Li Tai laughed again, and immediately shouted outside the tent: "Dharma, please introduce this person to your team."

"The last general takes command!"

Several phoenixes who had gone to the camp gate to lead Wang Pang into the camp heard the sound and quickly came out to respond. Then they raised their fingers at Wang Pang, beckoning him to join their ranks.

Nowadays, Li Tai's power is getting higher and higher, and the scale of his personal army is also getting larger and larger. There are 500 archers who are good at riding and shooting, 300 heavy-armored swordsmen, and 200 confidants in the tent.

Among them, the confidants in the account were divided into two teams, led by Liang Rui and Shuofeng, two second-generation soldiers and future brothers-in-law respectively. Other young disciples were also arranged here. Considering Wang Fan's age and background, it was just right to be placed here.

After this episode, the martial arts performance continued. Wang Yan was also directly issued a set of black hakama pleated uniforms, but compared to what ordinary soldiers wore, their waist belts were painted with gold threads and inlaid with various jade hooks, making them more luxurious and beautiful to wear. It directly elevates the whole person's temperament.

Wang Ban had just finished dressing up and was still fresh. He was immediately assigned the task of going to the ordnance warehouse in the camp to get the equipment and materials as rewards for the martial arts officers. A team of ten close men in the tent was led by a governor.

On the way, Wang Fan was also curious about the personnel structure of the army from his colleagues. The fellow travelers were also very enthusiastic and explained it to him carefully.

General Li has a very high position of power, and the ranks of his cronies are also very high. After being selected, he will immediately confer the title of governor to his son. The senior commander will be the governor, and the higher up will be the commander-in-chief and the chief governor.

This series of governor titles are not just the internal titles of the Jingzhou Governor's Office, they are recognized by the imperial court and the Chinese and Foreign Governments. Like the two trusted captains and governors, they all have the official title of county and duke!

After Wang Fan heard this, he couldn't help but secretly sigh at General Li's high status in the Western Dynasty. When he thought about what the general had said to encourage him before, Wang Fan became even more excited. He felt that General Li was really like him. The idol of young people who left home to fight alone!

However, Wang Yan was still a little puzzled. The elder of theirs looked young, and he was riding a tall horse and couldn't even reach the stirrups with his toes, but he actually already had the title of governor. Could it be that the younger he was, the more he was treated by General Li? Reuse?

Of course, Captain Li Ya didn't know what Wang Ban was thinking, and he didn't have a good impression of this new member who joined his team. Wang Ban's previous behavior of breaking into the school grounds without permission made him feel that this guy was a thorn in his side. When he saw Wang Ban's riding skills, he was not impressed. When he was very shrewd, Dang Ji frowned and said: "A certain group of close relatives are guarding the general. Whether the general is safe or not is within our blade. If I am not familiar with driving a mere car, how can I guard the general?" No matter what your extraordinary origins are, since you join our team, it’s best to master your riding skills as soon as possible! I will take the test in person in the future. If you are still like this, I will expel you from the team immediately!”

Being scolded by a young man who was much younger than himself, Wang Fan felt a little embarrassed on his face, but the other man's scolding was not deliberately looking for trouble, so he could only accept it in a muffled voice, secretly saying that he must learn riding skills well. Later, he will gallop forward and throw this little carrot head far away!

The warehouse arrived quickly. Li Ya went in and took out the list of military supplies that needed to be withdrawn and contacted the quartermaster. Wang Huan and others were responsible for entering the warehouse to select points for collection.

After entering the warehouse, Wang Fan suddenly took a breath and felt as if he had entered a world of steel. The various kinds of fine armor are dazzling, and there are thousands of full-body fine armors in one warehouse alone. The grown-up Zhanma Dao and the finely crafted horse sword are also displayed in a forest, and there are countless other kinds of swords, guns, swords and halberds.

"The Mianbei arsenal is so full..."

Wang Fan was shocked when he looked at the warehouse full of swords and weapons. He had gone on an expedition with his father before. Compared with the weapons assigned to the sergeants in Jiangling, they were simply out of reach.

The other cronies were very proud after hearing Wang Fan's emotion, but someone pointed to the horse tree displayed on an elevated shelf in the innermost part of the warehouse and sighed: "Although the arsenal is well-stocked, if we can get the dragon as a reward from the general, Wen Shu, that’s what can truly be called the bravest of all armies!”
