The rebel army's foremost master craftsman forged a million iron pylons!

Whoosh!

Chen Xiaohou fired an arrow outwards.

Three hundred meters away, a small bird fell from a branch in response.

"good!"

"Sharpshooter Chen Xiaohou joins the militia training!"

"A monthly salary of four qian!"

The clerk quickly made an identity plaque for Chen Xiaohou, registered him, and handed it to him along with four coins.

"Who else?"

With the first two people laying the foundation, the conscription work proceeded exceptionally smoothly, and local militias enthusiastically signed up.

"I am Li Yong from Dazexiang. I can dig tunnels. Even the city walls of Nankaicheng can't stop me."

"I'm Zhang Jingou from Muxu Township, and I know how to forge iron!"

……

The conscription work is in full swing.

Soon, the clerk's roster had more than a hundred names added.

Seeing that the matter was settled, General Chen retreated to the pavilion. Looking at Li Tian, ​​he found him more and more pleasing to the eye and said...

"Li Tian, ​​I owe you a great deal for this idea. I will definitely tell the Prince of Zhongyi about this and ask him to reward you handsomely."

Seeing that he frequently mentioned the Loyal and Righteous King, Li Tian asked, "Is the Loyal and Righteous King in the army camp?"

General Chen shook his head. "The Loyal and Righteous King is very busy and is stationed in Nankai City. I'm afraid we won't be able to see him for a while!"

"Oh!" Li Tian nodded slightly, feeling a bit curious about this King of Loyalty and Righteousness.

General Chen chatted with Li Tianxian for a while longer before walking toward his dozen or so personal guards.

Seeing the bustling recruitment scene, the guards were overjoyed and greeted General Chen with a bow.

"Greetings, General Chen."

General Chen casually raised his arm. "We're not in a military camp, so there's no need for so much formality."

Then the group of people hid and chatted not far from the pavilion.

"This Li Tian is a real talent!"

General Chen glanced back at Li Tian, ​​who was drinking tea in the pavilion, and said in a low voice.

"Of course!" Tie Niu chimed in. "With the warhorse sabers he forged, awarding him the title of Grand Master Blacksmith is more than enough."

Tie Niu had already heard that Li Tian had been appointed as a minor forge master, and he was quite indignant about it.

"Our army's chief foundry is Wang Jingzhong's man, but we can't easily touch him."

General Chen sighed, glanced back at Li Tian, ​​and said softly, "It's really unfair to Li Tian."

Upon hearing Wang Jingzhong's name, Tie Niu and the others all lowered their heads and remained silent.

King Zhongyi had two generals under his command, known as the Left General and the Right General.

Chen Nian'an was the Right General, and Wang Jingzhong was the Left General.

Literally, Wang Jingzhong's official rank was higher than Chen Nian'an's.

Moreover, the discord between the two generals was no secret within the Loyal Army.

Therefore, even the master foundry sent by Wang Jingzhong had to be dealt with with great care by Chen Nian'an.

The atmosphere outside the pavilion was somewhat somber.

After a while, General Chen said again, "Li Tian is a talented young man. We must do everything we can to keep him in our right wing."

"But our right wing army doesn't have much money left!"

"We've given him everything we could. He's already a squad leader even before he enlisted, a junior foundry worker in the army at such a young age, and now he's the head instructor of the militia."

"We're all so envious!"

The guards initially complained, after all, they had followed General Chen for seven or eight years and had never received such a good position.

However, upon further reflection, they realized that this kid was now a precious gem among the Right Army, so they all started offering their suggestions.

"Why not promote this kid and make him a centurion, yay!"

"If you ask me, we should just give them a reward of silver. Five hundred taels of silver would be better than anything else."

"How about we set up a separate weapon-forging battalion and make him the battalion commander? I can't wait to equip my men with the horse-slaying swords he forges."

Although his subordinates offered many suggestions, General Chen just shook his head and kept repeating the same sentence.

"No!"

"Although your ideas are all very good."

"But there are regulations in the military."

"If the Loyal and Righteous King finds out about this, we'll all be in deep trouble."

After thinking for a moment, General Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed.

"I remember now, when we were assigning wives, everyone else picked the big, burly ones, but this kid picked the good-looking ones."

"To be honest, this young man is quite the ladies' man!"

"You all hurry up and think of someone who has a daughter. Marry this boy as soon as possible, so that he can stay in our Right Army."

"General, you know me. My whole family was killed by the imperial army. Where would I find any girls?"

"General, you know me. I have a younger sister, but she's only seven years old and helps out in the kitchen."

"General, you know me. I have seven younger brothers, all of them boys, which do not meet your requirements."

……

All of the dozen or so guards declined, but Tie Niu hesitated and refused to speak.

General Chen realized something and immediately said to Tie Niu.

"Tie Niu, I remember you have a younger sister who helps out in the kitchen of our army. Why don't you marry Li Tian?"

"Anyway, this kid will become a military officer in the future, with a higher rank than you. Marrying your sister to him wouldn't be a bad deal."

Tie Niu's face turned red, and he stammered.

"I have a younger sister named Tie Lihua. She is currently helping out in the kitchen of our rebel army. Li Tian is a brave fighter and also a skilled blacksmith."

"My sister didn't lose out by marrying him."

"But...we still need to ask my sister's opinion on this!"

"No need to ask anymore, I've made the decision. I'll marry your sister to Li Tian."

"Go to the military camp immediately and bring your sister to meet Li Tian."

General Chen spoke decisively.

"Oh, so fast?"

Tie Niu was somewhat surprised.

"We should at least ask Brother Li Tian what he thinks."

"What if Brother Li Tian doesn't agree?"

"No need to ask!"

General Chen remained resolute, "Go to the military camp now and bring your sister here. As for Li Tian, ​​I'll handle that!"

……

Outside the pavilion, General Chen and his entourage were racking their brains to persuade Li Tian to stay.

Inside the pavilion, Li Tian was contemplating his future development.

"Now that we have the men, these three hundred local militiamen are our base!"

"The equipment is now in place; General Chen has agreed to give me a batch of leather armor and discarded armor."

"I still have a dozen or so sets of armor that I seized from the imperial soldiers. With a little repair, they will be usable."

"What needs to be done now is to organize and train the troops."

He has two ideas on this.

One method he used was military training techniques he learned online from his previous life to train soldiers' physical strength and endurance.

Secondly, find more ancient military strategy books and learn the combat strategies of the present era.

After all, we live in an era without firearms, and our combat strategies are completely different from those of the past when missiles filled the sky.

Just as Li Tian was deep in thought, General Chen walked in with a smile and asked the question.

"Li Tian, ​​Tie Niu has a younger sister who wants to marry you. What do you think?"

Ok?

tractor?!

Li Tianyi shuddered instantly at the thought of Tie Niu's face, which resembled Li Kui's.

Given Tie Niu's appearance, what will his sister be like?

If the genetic makeup is very strong.

Tie Niu's sister doesn't look exactly like him.

"No!"

Li Tian immediately refused.

"I already have three wives; there's no room for a fourth!"
