Chapter 0344: Seeds

In the past, outsiders often associated the Ye family with the Nanyu River.

The Nanyu River is not actually silted up, but in the past, it would dry up in winter, showing sand, stones, and river mud, making it a seasonal river.

Da Cai transportation is mainly based on water. Without smooth river channels all year round, there will not be much prosperity. In fact, the rivers in the northwest of Pingshou County, and even further northwest in Shanzhu County, are mostly like this. This has led to families in the south of the county talking about their neighbors in the north with a natural sense of overlooking them.

After Lv Shangjing was appointed to lead the restoration, the Nanyu River has not dried up in recent years, and even overflowed a bit... Who would have thought that the collision of outer regions would trigger astronomical tides?

Fortunately, the military camp by the river and the expanding workshop area were not disturbed, and even the dock began to be built.

For many years to come, every time the tall and tidy riverbank walked under rows of willow trees, and looked at the bustling dock, the lively old man would praise the foresight of the second ranked public.

Uncle, can you say something fresh? Do you still need to talk about the intelligence of the second ranked public

It's just that

Even the old man with broad horizons didn't hesitate to ask the clever younger generation, "What do you want to hear, this little brat

The story of the Second Rank Duke fighting in battle. "The boy blinked his eyes, and young people love passion.

It's a long story, back in the day

Time makes people grow old, white horses pass by, year after year, who can surpass this barrier of life and death?

But in the future, the elderly will be very young and training hard in the closed military camp.

A last-minute decision shocked everyone, and the coalition was held back for three days, not even allowed to visit.

Ye Qing has not appeared in the past few days, and the statement conveyed by the leader Jiang Chen is focused training, which has made the suspicious family ruler realize that the Ye family has backed out and wants to seize military power.

There are many secret meetings in private, and everyone is watching the follow-up.

The military camp covers an area of fifty acres, which was empty compared to the five hundred Ye family armies in the past. At this time, even with three thousand troops, there was no crowding.

This kind of 'foresight' makes everyone uneasy.

Three days later, it was proven to be a false alarm. The military camp was opened up for visitors, and all the soldiers became more agile without any other abnormalities.

The life of being a soldier is naturally minimalist. When asked, they only mentioned training, sleeping, eating meat, and eating spiritual grains inside. At this time, it happened to be mealtime, and the fragrance was so fragrant that even the family members who asked almost drooled... So many people found excuses to squeeze into the military canteen and have a simple meal.

Mud legs eat better than us, in this world... "This was the arrogant guy who cursed his mother while eating, causing some Ye family soldiers to angrily change color and stand up according to the case:" What are you talking about, you bastard

This person is still waiting to be scolded, but it is rare to be able to become a top-notch family head. After all, there are many people who have eye contact. Immediately, someone tugged at the hem of their clothes and tried to smooth things out: "Forget it, the second ranked Duke has a fair heart towards the coalition army. We have opened our horizons

A public heart... Zhang Fangbiao, who was passing by to cook, tried to smile and went to the window with a stiff face. The big bowl of rice was eating at the window: "A big bowl of meat, thirty Mantou!"

As if intimidated by his appetite, he looked at this sturdy figure, with a long sword at his waist and a bloody killing intent that never dissipated. The private conversations of the southern lords of the county were much smaller, while the alliance families in the northern part of the county amplified their voices.

That's right, those guys in the south are still full of suspicions

The heart of a petty person is the belly of a gentleman

It's been like this for a long time

The tone of the conversation turned, and as the various lords were in opposition from north to south and relaxing their vigilance, unconsciously, a small booklet of the "Ye Family Junior Martial Arts Classic" was circulating among some young officers in each household.

Some people can see a list in the military academy, and they will find that the names of these sergeants are very famous. There are thirty of them, which almost spread all over the families, forming a dark net.

The rain is not as heavy as before, but it still keeps pouring endlessly, with occasional bursts of thunder, making Ye Qing smile wryly.

The winter thunder bursts, and the field of this outer domain has already influenced the field of this world, which is why there are endless thunderstorms.

Presumably, the same goes for Outland. After thinking for a moment, Ye Qing continued to move forward and arrived at the camp.

The sky is overcast, and the tent is very dark. The raindrops drifting in with the wind at the entrance of the camp are icy cold. Jiang Chen glanced at his colleagues and said, "These things cannot be concealed, but our lord has increased the martial arts scriptures and does not want them to do anything. He only gives them a promotion level, which can be useful when the situation arises

The main tent was brightly lit, and Jiang Chen personally hid this roster. He said to Zhang Fangbiao, Hong Zhou, and Jiang Peng, "Apart from cultivators, is there anyone else who craves power more than martial artists? Young martial artists crave it even more. My family holds the most advanced martial arts scriptures, which are monopolized resources in the entire northern region. Even if we release some junior ones, we cannot help but be tempted

Everyone nodded at the words.

The characteristic of the Ye family army is that they are generally young, not to mention soldiers, from grassroots sergeants to middle and high-level generals. Even the commander-in-chief Jiang Chen is only 23 years old, which can be imagined.

Jiang Peng, who is only eighteen years old, comes from a military family background in the imperial cavalry patrol camp for generations. At a young age, he is already a senior cavalry commander with a promising future. However, he joined the Ye family for a childhood sweetheart rescued from the grassland. He is young and passionate, and deeply agrees with this

Of course, because he joined early, that noble woman is now the adopted daughter of Ye Zifan. He is already the uncle of the Ye family, rooted in this land, and officially appointed as the head of a cavalry patrol team. He will not compare himself with newly promoted warriors.

Hong Zhou is also a martial artist, slightly older at around thirty years old. While serving in the court, he endured a long time as a squad leader and was deeply moved, saying, "The atmosphere of this chaotic era is so vivid now, and people's thoughts are stirred. My lord has just become a banner in their hearts

I heard we're going to use troops next? Where are we going to attack? Grassland or other counties? "Zhang Fangbiao asked with a smile, only interested in this.

Don't talk nonsense, you scoundrel. The lord has his own arrangements, "Jiang Chen said, actually he didn't know and was curious.

After the retreat of the Allied forces, there are only 500 troops from the Ye family and 500 new recruits. Where can we attack?

The morning drum rings, it's time for morning exercises.

The generals themselves are all practicing warriors who are not afraid of hardship. On the contrary, if they don't practice for a day, their bones will itch all over, and then they will go out one after another.

Opening the tent door, the rain outside stopped at some point, and the black water flag hung high on the military camp with dignity and solemnity.

Jiang Chen just likes this kind of army and misses the charm of the mother flag even more.

At this moment, he kicked his men along the barracks and shouted loudly, "Be a soldier for a day, observe military discipline for a day! Even if all the allied forces have to retreat at noon, the morning exercises still need to be done. The commander-in-chief will come to inspect today, so please be alert

Soldiers hurriedly packed their utensils and rushed out, even including the lightly wounded who had been cured, accompanying them for restorative training. The school grounds became lively again.

Looking from the general's podium, I saw a gathering of military energy on the flag, which excited all the generals.

These foundations are already good, even if they meet the standards of the patrol cavalry camp, they can still be qualified. "Jiang Peng felt a bit regretful.

Jiang Chen knew what he meant and had a tolerant attitude towards the younger generation in the army with the same surname but different clans. He just smiled and said, "The elite soldiers of each family are good seedlings, and they have gone through great battles and reorganization... but they still have to be sent away. To put it bluntly, even if we raise 800 soldiers, we are already struggling, and our family cannot afford to raise these 3000 soldiers

Zhang Fangbiao and Hong Zhou both nodded. A thousand private soldiers were the limit of the county's prestige, and they could not be promoted unless they received support from the local government.

Jiang Peng opened his mouth and thought of the roster, feeling dizzy... So in the minds of the higher ups, were these soldiers fostered in someone else's home?

He felt a bit outdated and coughed lightly, "Ahem, is there anything Xiangtian Hall can do about money

At this moment, Zhou Feng heard the sound of drums coming from outside the camp. The internal guards were all under the control of his younger sister, and the work of rural patrol and security had gradually been put aside and handed over to Xiangtian Hall. His own work gradually shifted towards pure military aspects, in charge of the preparatory training affairs of five hundred new recruits.

His meticulousness and strictness, and most importantly, his loyalty, made Ye Qing feel at ease.

At present, Zhou Feng is also in charge of the foreign military espionage system, and he has a better understanding of many foreign intelligence: "After the solar eclipse, the channel for returning to the grasslands has recently been blocked by the Muer tribe, and the revenue of the liquor industry has sharply decreased by half. It has also been spent on upgrading various county strongholds and personnel training. Unless the blockade of the Muer tribe is lifted... You are very brave, why do you want to give it a try

Jiang Peng wiped his sweat. Coming from a family background of a professional soldier, he had strict requirements for himself and had a detailed understanding of the enemies his army might face.

"The Muer tribe was originally a large grassland tribe that moved to the North Korea. It had tens of thousands of horses and more than ten allied tribes, and even had a deep relationship with the Seven Soldier Clan of the Great Immortal Sect. The former enemy who even had relatives sisters would forget it. After Dashi usurped the throne of Muer Khan, it completely turned to the Northern Wei Dynasty and turned into a hostile force that would be a headache for the governor."

He held his fingers and emphasized again, "Riding tens of thousands of horses, in the words of our lord, changes in quantity lead to changes in quality, and the state is very wary of it

If we take the initiative to attack, our army cannot shake such an enemy... If we were to defend, the Beimang Mountain Road would be dangerous, and Ye Huolei would be fierce. I have the confidence that even a ten thousand would be death. "Since he was asked by the second ranked official for help, he has been in an invincible army for a long time, and it is difficult not to have this confidence.

Jiang Chen has deduced this chess game countless times and knocked his head: "Everyone knows the power of Ye Huolei, but you still need to say that

To gather military energy, we need to gather people. It's not just about feeding, but also about mobilizing people's vitality, cultivating and improving them. Ultimately, it's still a matter of money. The Ye family is already a county leader in terms of strength, but they need to expand their business. The required resources don't fall out of thin air, and once blocked, it's easy to interrupt their momentum

In fact, there are also war dividends, and a considerable amount of gold and silver surplus wealth has been found in the ruins of the Magic Nest. It was all taken over by the Xiangtian Hall. As Mr. Lv said, it is another difficult period of accumulation, and our army must survive on its own

After finally making it out of the military building period, we have to support the expansion on our own - "The generals wailed and suddenly lost their previous vigor, like frostbitten eggplants.

Don't cry or mourn, my lord has come over
