The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 331 Take It If You Need It

Chapter 331 Take It If You Need It

There was no way, he was called by Bai Jingyi's name, so he could only stand up, cupped his fists at Bai Jingyi and said, "Respond to General Bai's words."

"In previous years, the generals of each army handed over memorials to the Holy Majesty! Explain how many soldiers there are in the army and how many leather armors are needed!"

"After being verified by the three provinces, it will be transferred by the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Households! Finally, the Ministry of Households will distribute it!"

Bai Jingyi then asked, "Since this matter has been handed over to the Holy One."

"Could it be that the Holy Majesty didn't give you enough leather armor? Or maybe the number of leather armor has been reduced due to the secret operation of the Ministry of Finance!"

"If this is the case, this general will definitely go to the household department to discuss it!"

After hearing this, all the veterans present couldn't help but sweat on their foreheads.

Bai Jingyi is going to discuss with the Ministry of Household Affairs, so why not discuss with them today! ?
Zhang Liang quickly said: "In previous years, the leather armor needed in winter will be personally approved by the holy majesty!"

"So each army will get a corresponding amount of leather armor!"

Bai Jingyi sneered and said, "Since there are enough leather armors, why do you still appear here?"

"Uh~~"

The veterans present were a little embarrassed and speechless.

Li Jing was afraid that they would make trouble, so he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Bai Jingyi, saying: "The generals are just discussing with the last general!"

"Because there are too many newly recruited soldiers, the leather armor is not enough, so I came to the general to borrow some!"

When hearing this, Bai Jingyi was very speechless.

Although this Li Jing is known as the god of war, he is a little timid, or he is a little bit abiding by the rules.

When Li Er launched the Xuanwumen Change, Li Jing remained neutral, so his status is still the same up to now.

Although it is expensive as the Duke of the country, it is dispensable and has no weight at all.

Otherwise, how could Zhang Liang and others, who are also the princes of the state, come to Li Jing to act presumptuously! ?
Now he is acting as a bad guy here, even speaking for Zhang Liang and the others.

Bai Jingyi said indifferently: "Since it's a discussion! Let's continue!"

"No! There are still many matters in the army that have not been dealt with, and the final general will resign first!"

"The last general is still entangled in military affairs! Let me take my leave!"

"General Mo will not bother you, General Bai and General Li are talking about the old days, so I am leaving!"

These veterans are going to leave one by one.

But Bai Jingyi said in a cold tone: "Sit down for this general!"

"This…………"

These veterans all turned their eyes to Li Jing, hoping that he could speak out to save them from the siege.

However, Li Jing could only smile helplessly, and waved for them to sit down.

Bai Jingyi said in a lukewarm tone: "Since you have military affairs! Anyway, it's been delayed, so it's not too late!"

"Since the problem has not been resolved, let's continue to discuss it!"

Bai Jingyi sat on his seat and talked expressionlessly.

From the eyes of these veterans, it seemed that Bai Jingyi's words were full of murderous intent.

All of them were so frightened that their backs were straightened up, and they could even vaguely feel beads of sweat rolling on their backs.

However, after these veterans sat back in their seats, they were all too embarrassed to speak.

They even forget what they should say.

And Bai Jingyi seemed to only remember Zhang Liang, he asked directly... "What were you discussing just now!? Zhang Liang say it again!"

Zhang Liang: "..."

Although he was helpless, facing Bai Jingyi's majesty, he could only narrate the whole thing from beginning to end.

"We visited General Li today just to borrow some leather armor from General Li!"

"It's just because of the quantity problem, so I will discuss it here!"

Bai Jingyi said calmly, "I don't know how much each general needs?"

"I have 32 Beiliang troops, and I don't need leather armor! All of these can be given to the generals!"

"Sigh~~"

After listening to Bai Jingyi's words, the veterans present couldn't help but gasped.

If you can get these leather armors, what size will your army expand to?
Although they are not soldiers in the true sense, who would dislike having too many spare soldiers?
They exchanged glances with each other, neither of them willing to speak.

However, Bai Jingyi asked directly: "Why are all the generals silent!?"

"Report to the general how much you need! When the time comes, take away the leather armor of my Beiliang army!"

Seeing that the veterans present did not speak, it could only be Li Jing.He clasped his fists at Bai Jingyi and asked, "General Bai's words are serious!?"

Bai Jingyi looked back and smiled and said, "This general is of course serious!"

"Now that the New Year is approaching, our Beiliang Army has already rested, so what's the use of leather armor!?"

"This…………"

After hearing Bai Jingyi's words, they didn't dare to ask for this leather armor anymore.

After all, the reason why they need leather armor is to allow soldiers to continue practicing in winter!
At the same time, it is also the basic equipment to ensure that soldiers can fight in the cold winter.

After all, most of the armor worn by soldiers is made of iron, and after the cold wind blows, it is as cold as ice.

With these leather armors, it can not only reduce the load of the march, but also keep out the cold...

It was precisely because of this that none of the veterans present dared to ask Bai Jingyi for leather armor.

After all, Liangzhou is located on the Turkic border, thirty miles to the north is the Turkic grassland.

There may be war conflicts with the Turkic barbarians at any time.

If Beiliang's army bought these leather armors, wouldn't they want to fight with the armor on their shoulders! ?
If this continues in the long run, how many soldiers of the Northern Liang Army will freeze to death this winter.

And the soldiers of the Northern Liang Army are all elites, and it would be a huge loss to freeze to death.

Li Jing hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but said: "General Bai leads troops to guard Liangzhou!"

"We must always be on guard against the Turkic invasion! If these leather armors are distributed to us! Wouldn't the Beiliang army have to endure the cold wind and fight!?"

"If the Holy Majesty knows about this, he will definitely be held accountable!"

Bai Jingyi said indifferently: "The leather armor distributed by the imperial court is really too bulky!"

"Although it's good for keeping out the cold, it's not conducive to combat at all! Moreover, if you wear leather armor, you need to carry less quiver!"

"Facing cavalry like the Turks, if there is no quiver to consume the enemy, how can our army gain an advantage?"

Li Jing still insisted: "Although the leather armor is a bit cumbersome to wear on the soldier's body!"

"But General Bai can't let the soldiers endure the biting cold wind to fight!"

"If that's the case, wouldn't the soldiers even be unable to hold their sabers firmly on the battlefield!?"
