And armor.
Zhang Qi now has 210,000 professional soldiers under his command.
Except for the four armies of Hu Ben, Ying Jian, You Yi, and Zhu Xuan, all of whom were fully armored, the remaining 130,000 newly selected soldiers were only equipped with leather armor.
Although Liaoning can now produce 12,000 armors per month, it will take more than a year to fill the gap of 130,000.
Moreover, one piece of armor is not enough for each person.
There is also a need to have a surplus to deal with a series of problems such as armor damage, loss during war, and loss during transportation.
It can be said that out of the 210,000 people, Zhang Qi must have at least 420,000 pieces of armor.
That's right.
It's so arrogant!
Who can have such courage as Zhang Qi?
I have said before that what he wants is not those battlefield cheerleaders waving flags and shouting. What he needs is that every soldier under his command is an elite soldier who dares to fight.
A Han Dynasty.
Too small!
The entire earth is Zhang Qi's target. The more people who can fight and dare to fight, the better!
Thanks to nine years of killing in the world of cavalry and slashing, Zhang Qi now has nearly 60,000 sets of usable armor.
This can be regarded as slightly reducing the pressure on Liaoning Water Forge.
Moreover, because the armors in the world of riding and slashing are system products, the workmanship of each set is exquisite and solid.
Gululu.
The bath bubbled.
Zhang Qi poked his head out of the water and took a deep breath.
A hot bath almost wiped away his recent fatigue.
After putting on his clothes, Zhang Qi returned to the outside world refreshed.
——
Duwei Mansion.
Zhang Qi walked in from outside the house.
Because of Qing Ling, Zhang Qi's recent visits to the Kingdom of God were all done outside the house.
It's not that I have to keep it secret from Qing Ling, but it's not the time to reveal everything to her yet.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Guard soldiers, servants, servants, everyone who saw Zhang Qi saluted him happily.
This made Zhang Qi confused.
It’s Chinese New Year?
Did I lose track of time?
With confusion, Zhang Qi walked into the main hall. In the past, Qingling Baixing would usually be here.
But today, Zhang Qi failed.
"Where are the people?"
Zhang Qi asked a guard soldier on guard.
"Reporting to your Majesty, Counselor, Madam should be in the inner chamber at this moment."
Zhang Qi frowned: "What happened in the house recently?"
"Madam is happy."
As Zhang Qi's bodyguards, these guardsmen only obey the orders of Zhang Qi. Even if his wife had previously told them that they wanted to tell Zhang Qi personally, if your Majesty did not ask, they could still cooperate with your Majesty's little thoughts, but your Majesty If asked, they would naturally take Zhang Qi's order first.
"????!"
Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment.
What?
Pregnant?
For a time, all kinds of thoughts seemed to come to my mind.
Qing Ling is pregnant, and he is going to be a father. In this world, he has his own bloodline.
Without saying anything, Zhang Qi walked quickly towards the inner house.
Along the way, many servants saluted. In the past, Zhang Qi would nod if he was indifferent, but today he really wasn't in that mood.
"Sister Bai Xing, do you think there is a boy in my belly?"
"If he is born, will he be as capable as my husband in both literature and martial arts? He can be a general when riding a horse, and he can govern a country even when he picks up a pen."
Inner bedroom.
Qing Ling was full of expectations. Although the reaction to morning sickness during this period was extremely strong, the pride of being able to spread branches and leaves of Zhang Qi's lineage has not dissipated in the slightest.
On the contrary, after knowing the fact of pregnancy, this emotion became even higher.
Bai Xing, who was doing business at the desk, didn't raise his head and replied while writing and drawing in his notebook.
"With your Majesty here, it is inevitable that you will be able to be civilized and capable of martial arts."
"Madam, it's better to be normal. The doctor has told you not to be overjoyed or sad."
"I know, I don't know when my husband will come back. I really want to tell him."
Qing Ling put her hands on her chin and looked at the door of the bedroom boredly.
Since it was confirmed that she was pregnant.
Bai Xing took back all the housework again.
I stare at Qing Ling so hard every day that I wish I could keep watching at night.
Afraid of the slightest accident.
The same goes for Nishang. She doesn't go anywhere every day and just stays by her princess' side.
"What are you going to tell me?"
The bedroom door was pushed open.
Zhang Qilong walked in at a leisurely pace, pretending to be curious and looked at Qing Ling and the others.
"Your Majesty!"
"Husband!"
Several people in the bedroom stood up the moment they saw Zhang Qi.
Qing Ling quickly ran up to Zhang Qi and threw herself into his arms.
"Husband, I miss you so much."
Qing Ling's voice was a little muffled through her clothes.
Zhang Qi laughed twice and helped her up.
"Well, I haven't seen you for half a month, and my wife has become beautiful again. Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"
acting.
Zhang Qi has trained very well over the years.
Qing Ling was stunned and didn't notice anything unusual.
That is to say, Bai Xing smiled quietly. As the deputy who had spent the longest time with Zhang Qi, she knew all about Zhang Qi's little habits.
Just like now, my Lord involuntarily curled up his lips when he spoke.
This shows that he is acting.
But Qing Ling didn't know. She really thought Zhang Qi didn't know anything now.
She happily took his hand and dragged him to the desk.
Then he said with a mysterious face.
"Husband, what do you think happened to me recently?"
"Yeah" Zhang Qi rubbed his chin and looked around Qingling.
"Becoming more beautiful?"
"Hehe, no."
Qing Ling's face turned a little red when Zhang Qi secretly praised her, and she shook her head in a coquettish manner.
"Then I can't guess it, so I'd better tell you directly."
"I am happy that my husband has an heir."
"real?!"
Zhang Qi's expression of great surprise made Qing Ling nod with great satisfaction.
"Great, my husband is going to be a father!"
Zhang Qi's face showed joy, and this joy was real.
——
The snow continues.
The entire grassland is in a vast expanse of white.
Live in Yanze.
Hu Shui Station.
The construction of the military stronghold took several months and is now completed.
Thirty thousand Youyi troops were divided into six battalions and stood around Daze.
In the central camp.
Kan Wutu came quickly.
He bowed his hands to Hu Shui who was standing up.
"Your Majesty, King Xiutu is here with his prince Jin Rixi."
"please come in."
"yes!"
Kan Wutu retreated, and not long after, a middle-aged man in his forties walked in, accompanied by a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Hahaha, King Temujin, we meet again. It has been two or three years since we last saw each other."
"King Temujin's heroic appearance is still fresh in my memory."
As soon as they entered the tent, King Xiutu laughed and became polite.
Hu Shui stood up with a smile on his face.
"The same goes for King Xiutu, this one."
Hu Shui looked at the young man behind King Xiutu.
