Chapter 154: Being named a centurion!
If I had known, he would rather starve and freeze at home than come here.
Liu Yanhui brought Zhang Liao to Shen Lanxi.
"Lord, Zhang Liao has come to join the army!"
Shen Lanxi raised her head and put down the message in her hand.
"Zhang Liao, do you know who you are surrendering to serve?"
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said: "It is the Great Zhou court that you are serving!"
Shen Lanxi : "Think again!"
Zhang Liao glanced at Liu Yanhui for help. Was there something wrong with his answer?
You didn’t ask this question before when you joined the army?
"Lord, more than thirty people have signed up, half of them are young people. They look a little thin now. As long as they eat a few good meals and do a little training, they can become strong and strong in a few months!"
Shen Lanxi nodded with satisfaction.
Zhang Liao's mind is indeed a little confused. Allegiance to the imperial court has become like a brand in his mind over the years. He can't imagine anything else.
After seeing him for a while, Liu Yan still hadn’t figured it out, so she couldn’t help but remind her: “Whoever pays you, you will be loyal to. Whoever gives you food, you will be loyal to. Don’t you understand this?”
Zhang Liao’s eyes lit up and he quickly explained: “I just didn’t expect it, I had no other thoughts!”
Liu Yan nodded.
Zhang Liao immediately knelt in front of Shen Lanxi: "My lord, my allegiance is to you. I can't speak, but I am loyal. From now on, I will only be loyal to you!"
Shen Lanxi: "Captain Ten, go and get ten recruits for training!"
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and his face was filled with surprise when he realized that he had been promoted.
“Thank you, Lord, for your cultivation!”
Liu Yan went back with Zhang Liao.
The recruitment of troops has not stopped. Seeing that there are less than ten days before the New Year's Eve, Shen Lanxi finally decided to suppress the bandits!
Leading a team of 400 people, they went to Caotuo Ridge and circled around Caotuo Ridge, leaving half of the people behind. Then they took the horse thief's head and went to see Tian Maofeng covered in blood. !
"Master Tian, we waited for more than ten days and finally locked the horse thief's nest. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the soldiers recruited temporarily were all old, weak, sick and disabled. We killed half of them and finally captured the horse thief's nest. Now, all the horse thieves have been killed!”
Liu Yan burst into tears and began to sell miserably: “Sir Tian, our commander almost had his arm cut off by the horse thieves leader because of the obstruction. Fortunately, the road was slippery in the snow. , the machete in the hand of the leader of the horse thieves was chopped crooked, otherwise our commander-in-chief will not be alive to see you!"
Tian Maofeng looked at Shen Lanxi's blood-stained face and the blood oozing out of her arms! The bandage was touching and gratifying.
He can finally go on a mission with Suiyuan Prefecture. He just finished it in time before the new year. There will definitely be a reward from the superiors after the new year. If he keeps active, he might be able to sit in the position of Marquis of Wanhu!
"Okay, you are all good. Lan Xi, you are now the centurion under my commander, in charge of the three guard posts of Dayu Tun and Xingyuan Tun in Baihe County. The soldiers under your command , all promoted to one level!”
Shen Lanxi: “Thank you, Lord Tian, for your cultivation!”
Tian Maofeng was anxious to return to Suiyuan Mansion, so he asked someone to return the Centurion Appointment Letter. After handing the token to Shen Lanxi, she hurried away.
Shen Lanxi left the commander's residence, put on her centurion waistband, wiped her face, and turned around with a frosty look on her face.
She looked at the commander's residence from a distance, and her eyes frightened Wei Dong Zhu Liu Yanhui and others!
"Purchase grain and meat back to Baihe County to reward the soldiers of the three institutes!"
"Yes!"
When Tian Maofeng came back that night, his subordinates reported immediately.
“Lan Xi led his people to buy a lot of food and meat, and said that after returning, he would reward the soldiers of the three institutes!”
Tian Maofeng had a gloomy look on his face: “Send people in to keep an eye on them. Him!"
"The commander suspects that there is something wrong with him?"
Tian Maofeng shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be the case at the moment, but the origin of this kid is unknown and he became a pawn in such a short period of time. Climbing to the position of centurion, I have to guard against it! "My subordinates understand!"
The soldiers under his command can be outstanding, but they cannot overshadow the commander! Tian Maofeng didn't want to be used as a pedal, so he had to trample to death all the people who came up below.
Since ancient times, those who have great achievements must be eradicated!
......
"Lord, I sent messages to the homes of those two hundred people, saying that they were on duty during the New Year training period for new recruits and that they would not be going home for the next two months. Here. They all sent money and food to their families, and their families were very happy, and they even came back with a message asking them to practice well and not worry about home!"
Shen Lanxi was looking at the purchase account book sent by Liu Yanhui.
"Buy more meat. Food and charcoal will be delivered in the next two days. Don't stop recruiting!"
"Yes!"
Liu Yanhui and others Now I have a lot of questions in my mind, but I don’t dare to ask them.
What they wanted to ask most was how far Shen Lanxi would take them, but every time they thought of this question, their hearts would beat with fear. Every time they got to this step, they were stunned. Dare to think further!
While she had nothing to do during the Chinese New Year, Shen Lanxi went back to Hongliutun!
The atmosphere in Hongliutun is better than before. The men in the family have been drafted away, and the remaining people have to continue to live their lives.
This time she came back and brought Zhang Liao back with her.
Cao Lianwang blackmailed a lot of land in Baihe County and asked military households to reclaim a lot of wasteland. These were not registered. After that, the farmers only took office for a few days and had not had time to deal with them. land!
“Collect grain from the military households and change it to normal payment. Ask who wants to rent the extra land. According to the harvest, you will pay an appropriate amount of grain every year. You will be responsible for the statistics of this grain!”
She plans to let Zhang Liao continue to manage the military farmland, and Cao Lianwang's industry in the county will also be handed over to him!
“Today we have allocated the farmland reclaimed by Hongliu Village, and tomorrow we will quietly take people to raid Cao Lianwang’s house!”
Zhang Liao has been shocked to the point of numbness for the past two days. He didn’t expect so many people. All tall and tall men listened to this man who looked like a scholar.
"Lord, what if Tian Maofeng's daughter goes to Tian Maofeng to complain?"
Shen Lanxi: "Use your brains, if it doesn't work, use the knife!"
Zhang Liao: "..." I understand, go back and ask Mr. Liu.
There are also some women from Liuzhao Village and students from Qinglan Academy in Hongliu Tun. They came back this time to arrange for them!
"I found a few doctors, you all go to study medicine!" She said to the women in Liu Zhao Village.
“Yes!”
The remaining students.
"I am going back to the Baihe County Military Guard tomorrow. You can come with me, or wait until after the New Year!"
A few people immediately wrote: "Together!"
Shen Lanxi nodded: "Go and get ready!"
The students of Qinglan Academy communicated with each other using pen and paper. They had a hunch that maybe the next time they came back would be a long time ago, so what they could take away with them, Take them all away!
......
"Master, you are finally back..." Chun Xue Qiu Shuang saw Shen Lanxi coming back and immediately ran up.
Looking at the two people with tears in their eyes, Shen Lanxi smiled.
"You change into men's clothes, pack your things, and come with me to the guardhouse tomorrow!"
The two of them immediately burst into laughter, thinking that the young master didn't want them anymore.
It turned out to be the one who took them away!
