During Tang Ning's absence, it was a small official under Zhang Jingming who was responsible for recruiting recruits and recruiting them into the camp. When the little official saw that Tang Ning had brought the mute in, he stepped forward and said, "Oh, Lord Tsuba, why did you bring him in?" ”

"I want to ask why you didn't let him in?" Tang Ning shook the letter in his hand: "The words written by the elders of the people are so sincere and touching, don't you see it?" ”

The little official smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, almost all of us who came after us here carry such a letter on them. If you don't look at their own qualities, isn't it a dereliction of duty for subordinates to let them in?

Look at it, look at ......it," said the little official, and turned back and walked into the big tent, and came out again with a thick stack of letters.

Tang Ning stared at him suspiciously, and stretched out his hand to pull one out of the stack of letters in his arms. He unfolded the letter, read it word for word, and then reached for another letter.

I read four or five copies in a row, and sure enough, as the little official said, it was basically written by the elders of the family, so that the soldiers who came to participate in the recruitment could successfully join the Zhenjiang Army.

The little official smiled: "My lord, now you know, right? From the end of July to today, more than 500 people have come one after another in this month. They are the ones who set out, and they will think of some way to do it.

This brother Tai is not that his subordinates look down on him, but the environment of our Zhenjiang Army is really not suitable for people who can't speak. As long as he is able to communicate with other people normally, his subordinates will not turn him away.

Although the subordinates don't have much ability, these eyes are still enough. At a glance, I know that this brother Tai is much stronger than others in martial arts......"

With that, Tang Ning waved his hand to interrupt it, and stuffed the few letters in his hand back into the little official's arms. Nodding his head, he said, "What you said also makes sense, but Ben Chan just lacks a guard by his side." Let him do it, no problem, right? ”

The little official smiled: "No problem, since the adult has already decided, the subordinates will do it."

Come, come, brother, come with me and register your name on the register. ”

The dumb man glanced at Tang Ning gratefully, and Tang Ning smiled and nodded at him, so the dumb man followed the little official away.

Back in his big tent, Tang Ning was very emotional.

Who is Murong Ying? That's Yang Wenguang's mother-in-law. Yang Wenguang's grandson, isn't he the descendant of the Yang family?

After coming to the Great Song Dynasty, Tang Ning found that after the death of Yang Wenguang, the Yang family no longer had much influence in the army. It's not that everyone doesn't respect the Yang family anymore, but the Yang family has no successors, and they can't find a few powerful ones.

Even Yang Wenguang has been decent all his life, much worse than his father Yang Yanzhao and grandfather Yang Ye.

However, even if the Yang family has no successor, it should not be down

to such a situation. wants to send his grandson to the Zhenjiang Army, with the energy of the Yang family, this kind of thing can still find someone to say hello.

Touching his chin, Tang Ning thought about these things, and couldn't help but smack his lips, this is really strange.

Soon the dumb man changed his clothes, and he didn't know how he communicated with the little official, and actually completed such a big thing as registering on the roster.

Like Lin Wei, wearing well-fitting armor, as soon as he stood in front of Tang Ning, Tang Ning couldn't help but smack his lips again.

The dumb man is not very tall, and even if this armor fits, there is still a feeling that he can't hold it up when he wears it. The weapon in his hand is not the standard combination of waist knife, eyebrow knife, and moon covering knife, but a red tassel gun.

This gun was brought by Liu Ling, who likes to play with guns and is good at it. So he sometimes taught the soldiers how to play with guns in the barracks.

"Where's your waist knife?" Tang Ning raised his chin at the dumb face.

The mute shook his head, his eyes full of confidence. Looking at his appearance, it seems that he doesn't need a waist knife, and a spear can defeat all people.

Tang Ning smiled and said, "Your name is Yang Yingzheng, right?" ”

The mute also smiled and nodded.

Tang Ning said: "Yang Yingzheng, do you know why the soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army, whether they are good at it or not, have two weapons in their hands?" ”

The dumb shook his head, in his cognition, a weapon was enough to fight.

"Fighting is not a competition, and no one will stop with you. Maybe when you hand the gun out, a person will rush out from behind you and slash you with a knife.

In case there is any damage to your primary weapon, such as being broken, for example, you will not be able to use it again for a while, are you still going to fight with your fists at that time?

Originally, you were supposed to receive half a month of training, even if you didn't train your physical fitness, you had to train your weapons to master. However, the official family assigned us a task, gathered the army today, made preparations, and set off in three days.

You don't have to stay with Ben Chan for these three days. I hope you can walk around the barracks more and see more. The army is not a straggler, and only by pooling the strength of all people can it exert its greatest power, you know? ”

Yang Yingzheng nodded thoughtfully.

Tang Ning laughed, looked down and found a piece of paper, hurriedly wrote a few strokes, and covered it with his own big seal on the paper, then folded the paper and handed it to Yang Yingzheng.

"Go around, and if you don't know what to do, go find an old man and give him this letter, and he'll know what to do with you.

He is a white-haired one in the Zhenjiang Army, and he is easy to find. ”

Yang Yingzheng clasped his fists and saluted, stepped forward to take the letter, and took it

Step 3 turned around and retreated.

Lin Wei asked, "My lord, do we really have a task?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise what do you think I went to Beijing to do last time?" But let's not deal with the Tangut people, with the current Zhenjiang army, when we meet the Tangut people, we will deliver food.

This trip is to Qingtang. ”

"Qingtang?" For Lin Wei, a person who had basically never left Chuzhou before meeting Tang Ning, the name Qingtang was still relatively unfamiliar.

Tang Ning said with a smile: "A piece of feng shui treasure land with good horses, the people there may have been a mess ten or twenty years ago, but now, it's just right to use them to practice their hands." ”

………………

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. This is an extremely important strategy in warfare, both now and in the future.

After Tang Ning returned from the capital, he brought Zhao Xu's handwritten letter to Zhang He. After Zhang He read it carefully and confirmed the authenticity of this letter, he began to talk about the grain in the granary of Runzhou and sent it to the barracks of the Zhenjiang Army for support along the road.

At the same time, Zhao Xu should have also sent someone to notify the Qinfeng Road area and the state capitals along the way to prepare for it, so the last thing Tang Ning had to worry about was starving to death while walking.

Standing on the temporary high platform in the barracks, Tang Ning put his hands behind his back, looked at the dense crowd of people under the stage, opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

There are too many people, more than when I stood on the leading platform and was scolded by the teaching director......

Cheng Yang whispered in Tang Ning's ear: "Don't be ashamed, more than 3,000 people are looking at you......"

Tang Ning gritted his teeth, and after brewing for a while, he took a deep breath and said in a loud voice: "Comrades, it has been three months since our Zhenjiang Army was formed until today.

In the past three months, everyone's efforts have been seen by me.

Seven days ago, the official summoned me to Beijing and told me something. No matter what this matter is, all in all, our Zhenjiang Army finally has a chance to prove itself.

The name Qingtang, some of you know, some of you don't. But I can tell you that Qingtang is a place where horses are produced, and it is not an inferior horse, but a high-quality Qingtang horse.

Our Great Song Dynasty, what is most lacking is horses, so Qingtang must be taken down.

Your efforts over the past three months are about to come to fruition. When the time comes, we will still fight in coordination with friendly forces, and I hope that you will not lose the face of the Zhenjiang army at that time. ”

After Tang Ning finished speaking, seeing that the audience was silent, he added with a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous, as long as the battle of Qingtang is beautiful, military merits, rewards, and holidays are all indispensable to you!" ”
