After finally sending away the curious Dangyang County Lord, Zhao Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, he couldn't rest yet, he needed to deal with the recruitment matter.

Due to time constraints, Zhao Qin would recruit enough 2,000 soldiers tomorrow. This time is not long or short. Because the Song Dynasty had long been customized. Whenever a disaster occurred and a large number of refugees appeared, the court came forward to recruit the strongest among the refugees. From these selected refugees, the brave ones were selected as the imperial guards.

But the actual situation is not as good as the system. First of all, the strong people are recruited as soldiers from the refugees. What is the reason? It is to prevent these refugees from rebelling and weaken their combat effectiveness. Think about it, if the strong people go to join the army, what are the rebellions? The old, weak, sick and disabled, the combat effectiveness of such rebels can be imagined.

Because of this, the court was not willing to spend too much money and food. For example, this time, my husbands gave Bianliang City a quota to recruit 10,000 soldiers, and there were only 200 imperial guards, and the others were all wing soldiers. The treatment of wing soldiers was only one-third of the imperial guards, which was barely enough to support the family of three.

Naturally, Zhao Qian did not go to the gathering place of refugees outside the city to recruit, but went to the Xiang soldiers. However, it could be used for the Xiang soldiers because the court allocated low military wages. In order to support their families, the Xiang soldiers were hungry and had no strength to train. The court also opened their eyes and closed them. In fact, in the eyes of court officials, this recruitment was actually a disguised disaster relief.

In order to prevent these soldiers from escaping with weapons, these soldiers had been working as a soldier for half a month, and the regular army had never even touched their weapons. Each of them just distributed a bamboo stick, which was called "training troops with the ancestral method" and strengthening the army with the Taizu Panlong Stick Technique.

Zhao Qian should not expect these wing soldiers to "take it and use it." Strictly speaking, these wing soldiers are not even as good as cannon fodder.

According to Zhao Jin's plan, he would leave the city to recruit soldiers from the barracks the next day. Maybe he would recruit soldiers overnight at that time, and by the morning of the third day, he would set out directly from the barracks and start camping training at noon.

Because the JD area is now drought and the weather is hot, instead of risking the possibility of heatstroke, it is better to camp and train as soon as possible.

Because of this, although he left Bianliang on the third day, today is actually the last day that Zhao Qian stayed in the city. As the saying goes, his son traveled thousands of miles to his mother, the Qian family, who was practicing Taoist temples in the palace, also sent someone to spread the word that Zhao Qian would meet.

As soon as Zhao Jin threw the matter to Gongsun Xuanxu and Zhong Shiheng, he went to the palace himself.

Emperors of the Song Dynasty worshipped Taoism, and among the people, there were even the deeds of Song Taizu playing chess and losing to Huashan to Taoist master Chen Tuan. Several Taoist temples were also built in the palace to worship the so-called masters, and some emperors, imperial concubines used for the cultivation of the Qing Dynasty, and the Taoist temples in which Qian lived were not this type.

After arriving at the Taoist temple, Qian hurried to meet Zhao Feng. He was very happy just now, but he was even crying. "Son! Don't show off when you go to Jingdong East this time! Although my mother knows that she doesn't read many books, she also knows that the battlefield is dangerous. If you have any problems, don't learn opera, and lead by example! It really doesn't work..."
