When Yuan Xingzhou saw her smart and strange expression, he knew that she must be thinking wildly again at this moment.
He glanced at the closed door and window, and a soft and powerful force shot out quickly. The window opened wide to the outside, and the fragrant incense smell in the room gradually faded away.
"These people also have their own magical uses. On the battlefield, no matter how elite the soldiers are, they are like chess pieces. The proper use of the chess pieces does not depend on the chess piece itself, but on the person holding the chess piece."
His words were obviously highly recognized by Zheng Quchi. What he said made sense, but she was not proficient in "playing chess". Although she had doubts, she had the sense not to interfere with his decision.
"I also went to do a big thing today. I ordered a batch of sophisticated weapons from the Ordnance Supervision for our soldiers. I also specially ordered a batch of javelins. This gun is different from ordinary long guns. It is light in weight and long in length. It is moderate and can be of great use to the opponent at critical moments."
Zheng Quchi showed the general shape with him, intending to let him understand one thing. This thing was suitable for use.
"Javelin? There are only two days left for the Six Nations military trials to begin. Can the weapons inspector be able to make the javelin you are talking about?" Yuan Xingzhou stared at her with a pair of phoenix eyes.
Zheng Quchi was confident: "It should be no problem, they promised me."
Yuan Xingzhou observed her and felt clear in his heart.
It seems that this time she went to catch the little tail of the Ordnance Inspector. If she hadn't been caught with the clues and vital points, they would not be so easy to talk to based on their smooth skills of "being good at playing, playing and singing".
"It turns out that the general's wife is not only very accomplished in craftsmanship, but her abilities as a servant are also surprising." Yuan Xingzhou raised his eyebrows.
Zheng Quchi laughed dryly. It was easy to take advantage of the shade under the big tree. She probably had some influence from His Highness Yuan Xingzhou.
"Why, His Highness the Crown Prince is joking. By the way, Your Highness, can you lend me three hundred troops?"
Yuan Xingzhou did not ask her what she wanted to do with the three hundred troops. He only said, "You don't need to ask about this palace. The golden seal in your hand is the power given to you by this palace. You can do whatever you want."
Anything can be done?
Isn't this tone too patronizing?
Zheng Quchi immediately looked at him with a complicated look. He opened his mouth and said what was in his heart: "Then if I want to steal the country and gain power, is that okay?"
These words were somewhat treasonous, but for Yuan Xingzhou, who also planned to be treasonous, he found them very interesting.
He glanced at her lightly and said without any hesitation: "Of course you can, but you have to comply with this palace's condition."
He said yes?
Of course.
"What conditions?" she asked curiously
She thought he might want to say something about avenging King Ye and Queen Ye, or helping him solve some headache problems, but she didn't expect that he stared at her with a pair of gleaming eyes, and said something shocking: " Make me your only male queen."
After hearing this, Zheng Quchi's eyes almost popped out of his head: "..."
At that time, her outlook was completely shattered, beyond words.
"I, I'm joking. I don't want to be a king, let alone that kind of material. Your Highness just thought that my brain was kicked by a donkey." She immediately refused three times in a row.
Yuan Xingzhou raised his eyebrows: "But this palace is serious, do you really not think about it?"
"Don't think about it! I won't disturb His Highness's rest. I'll take my leave first. Since Your Highness has no objection to my wife's proposal just now, I will go to the Hussar Mansion to pick someone tomorrow."
She picked up her skirt and ran out of Yuan Xingzhou's bedroom in a flash, making everyone feel numb.
This Yuan Xingzhou is really getting more and more perverted. Even the male queen can say such shameless words in a serious manner. She feels ashamed, so she should just admit defeat.
The rotten peach blossoms around her have been shamelessly blooming one after another recently, but as a career-minded widow, she doesn't need them at all. She just asks God to strangle them ruthlessly in the buds as soon as possible.
Zheng Quchi had earlier asked Lan Yue to send a message to Brother Wei, asking him to help her find some useful books to understand the national conditions of Ye State. She was curious about how Ye State's military trials were generally conducted, and compared to the one-sided description in words, the books There are more detailed and comprehensive records.
After understanding, she knew that the Six Nations Military Trial was the first time in history. In the past, it was mostly a secret contest between the two countries, but this time it was exciting. They all came to the Ye Kingdom to compete for power.
It seems that each of these countries has its own little thoughts.
At first, with such a big fat piece of Ye Kingdom hanging in front of their eyes, they must all be greedy and have no time to care about others. But once this big piece of fat meat is taken into someone's mouth and swallowed, they will be hit next. It's a drama of killing each other.
It's not that she knows much about current affairs, but this is an eternal truth, and there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
Who wants to be a "fat meat"? Everyone wants to be a "meat-eating" person.
This time, the military exercises of the Six Nations were held in Ye State. First, the commander-in-chief personally commanded the well-trained troops to demonstrate the country's majesty and strength.
Every military exercise was not only to consolidate the dominance of the royal power, but also to show off its power and suppress the enemy in front of other countries and establish the prestige of its rule.
The traditional military test ceremony of various countries is actually a military exercise and review in preparation for the expedition. However, the nature of the Six Nations military test this time has changed, and it has completely subverted the traditional military test ceremony and turned it into a battle mode.
They will compete with the military of various countries in a real-life exercise and conduct a "friendly" match, with both sides playing as defenders and defenders.
The side that chooses to defend will choose a base area in the hunting ground, and the other side will use its troops to attack. If the defender defends within the specified time limit, it will be considered a win. If the attacker captures the base area within the specified time limit, the attacking side will win. .
Therefore, this time's military test is not just a simple exercise and paper talk, but a real sword and a real gun. To be honest, it can be regarded as a small-scale war, and there will be inevitable casualties.
This time, the Six Nations military test attracted the attention of the Seven Nations, all looking forward to the final result. Except for the Kucha Kingdom, which has always disliked participating in wars, the mentality of the other six nations was going on, and Zheng Quchi also knew it well.
"As the saying goes, only if you know yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles."
She didn't plan to sleep tonight. She asked Wang Zebang to find out the recent war situation and intelligence, and planned to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each country's national strength. As for military strategy, tactics, military history and military technology, she also dabbled in a little knowledge. , although it is a little late to start learning now, it is also obvious that it is not fast to sharpen the gun in the battle.
She knew that she was just a logistics adjutant, and that the main commander who would actually go on the battlefield would be Yuan Xingzhou, but if they drew the defensive side, then she felt that she should be able to help.
That night, the room was brightly lit until dawn. After staying up all night, Zheng Quchi did not feel very tired. In addition to being young, it was also because she continued to practice Jiu Jiu, and secondly, because of the scars left on her body Her hidden illness was nourished by Aunt Mei's various medicinal decoctions. Even though Aunt Mei did not come with her this time, she left the follow-up matters to Adjutant Wang and the others.
"Blue Moon."
As soon as she called, Lan Yue appeared in front of her.
"lady."
"Let the people in the capital keep an eye on the traces of Crazy Sword at all times. As soon as he appears, they will be brought to me immediately."
Crazy knife?
Mentioning this person, Lan Yueyou was frightened: "Madam, this person is very dangerous, and he is also from the Mo family. You..."
Seeing Lan Yue's worried look, Zheng Quchi smiled and said, "I know, but I need him very much now. Even if using him is a safety hazard for me, I will admit it."
Seeing his wife's insistence, Lan Yue stopped saying anything.
"Lan Yue knows."
When Zheng Quchi had breakfast and walked out of the Eight Department Hall, he saw an eunuch bowing forward and saluting: "Madam General, Your Highness has arranged a carriage for you. Just give me instructions on where you want to go."
Zheng Quchi paused and asked, "What about His Royal Highness?"
"Your Highness has gone to pay his respects to His Majesty," the eunuch replied.
Zheng Quchi nodded. Since it was His Royal Highness's kindness, she naturally couldn't bear to offend him. In addition, she didn't know the way, so she climbed into the carriage calmly, and then she said to the outside world: "Go to Xiuqi Mansion. .”
"yes."
As soon as Zheng Quchi arrived at the gate of the Hussar Mansion, someone immediately opened the door and came out to greet her. The person wearing the fine armor in his body was none other than General Hussar. He stepped forward enthusiastically and cupped his hand: "Huo Ting has seen you before. General’s wife.”
There was another person beside him.
"Wang Feichen has met the general's wife."
The two of them were in front, while the other servants and guards greeted each other at a distance.
Zheng Quchi got off the carriage and when he saw the two of them, he naturally looked at them. He saw that one was tanned like an African black man, with a face and neck as dark as the ones in Fu County. He was even more exaggerated than the farmers who farmed every day in Fu County. .
She thought that the black whirlwind described in the book was probably like this.
The other one is very white, perhaps because he is compared with the black general next to him. He is too white to be a military attache. He has a slender and handsome figure, three-dimensional and handsome facial features, and looks like a white-faced hero. There is an air of free and easy chivalry.
"You two are welcome."
As the general of the Ye Kingdom, Yu Wensheng could be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Except for the King and Queen of Ye, everyone else basically had to bow when they saw her.
When they met the general's wife for the first time, Huo Ting and Wang Feichen only glanced at her briefly, not daring to look rudely for too long. They only observed from the appearance that the general's wife was very young, as if she had just turned sixteen, and her facial features still had some traces of... Baby fat, big eyes and round face, pretty and kind.
"Should the General's wife follow her humble position and visit the Hussar Mansion first, or should she go directly to the school grounds to select people?" Huo Ting was more straightforward.
Zheng Quchi was surprised: "How do you know..."
"His Royal Highness gave the order early in the morning to have the humble servants accompany Madam to select Madam's favorite candidate from the team." Wang Feichen replied.
Your Highness?
"It's him." Zheng Quchi suddenly realized.
Before, she had wondered why someone was waiting for someone at the door of the Cavalry Mansion for no reason. As soon as she appeared, the other party came up to her and recognized her identity at a glance. It was completely unlike the situation in the Ordnance Supervision before.
It turns out that Yuan Xingzhou had arranged everything for her in advance, just so that she could go smoothly and not encounter any difficulties or obstacles.
Unexpectedly, a person who looks so cold can also have such a considerate side.
Zheng Quchi thought to himself that he must thank him properly when he goes back, but...it would be better if he could stop talking nonsense, and the relationship between them would be more harmonious and natural.
"No need to go shopping, business is more important." Zheng Quchi said.
She didn't want to go shopping, but there was really not much time left for her. When every second counted, she really didn't have the leisure time. When she had the opportunity in the future, she would travel slowly.
"Hey-ho-"
The sun was shining high, and on the school field, there were rows and rows of dozens of people. The square teams like tofu mounds were arranged neatly. They were training hard on the spacious school field. They were holding sticks and waving boring words. The movements, one after another, sweating like rain, and the majestic and majestic postures are condensed into magnificent pictures of a strong army?
Zheng Quchi was led to the second floor of the stand. Standing on a high place, it was easier for her to see the complete formation and grandeur of the team. She admired it silently for a while before asking: "General Huo, what kind of army is this?"
Forgive her ignorance, these muscular men with their upper bodies exposed, only holding sticks to show off their masculine and strong bodies, she really couldn't tell which team they came from.
"Back to Madam, these are government soldiers." Huo Ting replied.
"General Huo, I wonder how many soldiers there are in Shengjing Mansion?"
"Three thousand people."
"How many people are training here?"
"There are less than a thousand people. Except for personal leave and sick leave, almost all the rest of the Shangfu soldiers train here."
Fu soldiers are divided into upper, middle and lower.
"Oh, the general should know these soldiers very well. I wonder what their team combat strength is like?"
Huo Ting said conservatively: "It can only be said that it is not enough to compare with the top, but more than enough to compare with the bottom."
"What about the regular garrison troops stationed in Shengjing?" Zheng Quchi asked again.
"The regular garrison soldiers have been training hard in the camp for many years, and they also participate in farming and harvesting work in the spring and autumn. They are superior in strength and fitness. However, they lack experience in fighting the enemy, and their overall combat capabilities as individual soldiers are average. They cannot compete with regular bandits. , on par with the office soldiers."
"What about the guards?"
"The guards are recruited from various counties and counties. They are basically born in the families of farmers and civilians. They are the weakest force among the three. However, the guards also have advantages. Unlike the government soldiers and regular garrison soldiers, they only know how to follow orders. If they lose their command, they can still carry out their actions as ordered.”
Zheng Quchi listened quietly, and then automatically converted Huo Ting's words into a language she could understand, that is - the government soldiers have the strongest comprehensive ability, and the regular garrison soldiers are strong, but the people on both sides are not as smart as the guards. , know how to adapt to changes.
"I wonder what kind of soldiers Madam wants?"
Huo Ting is an interesting person. He seems to be a rough guy, but as soon as he appeared at the gate of Huoqi Mansion, he seemed to have figured out her thoughts. The questions and answers between the two were very smooth and harmonious.
Zheng Quchi soon had the answer in his mind: "I want someone with strong strength."
Her request was simple and clear, and Huo Ting knew the key points of her selection as soon as she heard it: "The one with strong strength? The most suitable one should be the regular garrison."
"I'm going to be a regular garrison. I want to select two to three hundred people. They should be taller and not too bulky. It doesn't matter if they are not smart. The most important thing is to be strong."
After Wang Feichen listened to her request to recruit soldiers, he felt that the request of the general's wife was indeed a woman with long hair and short knowledge. (End of chapter)
