Chapter 122 Observation
After the alliance ceremony, it happened to be ten o'clock in the morning.
The military parade was ready, and a thousand soldiers lined up in front of the square, waiting for inspection.
Ouyang Shuo invited Bai Hua and others to go to the reviewing stand with him. The reviewing stand was divided into two rows in front and back. Five lords sat in the front row, and the entourage staff and accompanying staff from Shanhai Town were seated. On Ouyang Shuo's left were Bai Hua and Mulan Yue, respectively. On the right were sitting, looking for dragons and siege lions.
"What you are about to see is the troops that Shanhai Town is going to fight this time, which has concentrated all the elite troops of Shanhai Town. The family background of Shanhai Town has been shown in front of you." Ouyang Shuo said with a smile.
Because the number of troops was limited, a thousand soldiers walked past the reviewing stand in sequence in squadrons. As the commander-in-chief of the parade, Shi Wansui rode a horse at the front of the team. Behind him were three infantry squadrons, and naturally the heavy infantry squadrons equipped with Tang swords and Infantry Armor. Then there were two archer squadrons and three crossbowmen squadrons, all wearing leather armor. The last one was the two cavalry squadrons, all riding green horses, carrying Tang swords and horn bows, and holding horse lances. The fifty cavalry in the front were also equipped with Mingguang armor.
Looking at these troops, all parties responded differently.
Bai Hua noticed Shi Wansui, the emperor-level historical figure. She saw two king-level historical figures, Fan Zhongyan and Tian Wenjing, before, and thought that they were one of the historical figures summoned by the summoning talisman of the Wuyi Village mission reward. Unexpectedly, there was still one hidden in the army.
Her own village building task is relatively high, and she only rewards the silver-level village building token and the king-level summoning talisman. In this way, the golden-level village building token is 100% certain that he has obtained it.
The attention of Xunlong's acupoints was completely attracted by the heavy cavalry wearing Mingguang armor. With a general like Qin Qiong, his ideal was to recreate the elite heavy cavalry of the prosperous Tang Dynasty like Ouyang Shuo. Unfortunately, he could not achieve it now, whether it was war horses or weapons. Unexpectedly, Shanhai Town was already equipped with all its own troops, it was really a livestock.
Qin Qiong, who was sitting behind Xunlong's acupoint, looked a little dazed when he saw the cavalry squadron led by Lin Yi. Through them, Qin Qiong seemed to have returned to the years of fighting on the battlefield.
The favorite thing about the siege lion is the heavy infantry in the front row. There are also barbarians near his territory. Therefore, you can recognize at a glance that those soldiers should be mountain barbarians. Such armor may be a bit too heavy for ordinary soldiers, but for barbarians, it is just right, and they are simply born with a pair.
As for Mulanyue, the little girl was just watching the fun. But Mu Guiying, who was sitting behind her, saw the green horses riding by the cavalry, and her eyes were fixed. She had already recognized that these war horses were the green horses raised by the nomadic tribe in the center of the basin. Mu Guiying could not imagine how Shanhai Town obtained these war horses.
This military parade well declared the strength of Shanhai Town to allies, indicating that Ouyang Shuo, the leader of the alliance, deserved it. At the same time, the most cutting-edge weapons and equipment of Shanhai Town were displayed one by one. The future ammunition leader slowly showed his fangs, waiting for the allies to take the bait.
After the military parade, Xunlong pointed at Ouyang Shuo and others stared at Ouyang Shuo, almost eating him. Ouyang Shuo pretended not to know and asked with a smile: "How is it? I'll take you around while there is still time?"
The siege lion was the most straightforward and the first one to speak: "Brother Wuyi, look at it, that's definitely something you have to look at. But this is not the point. The point is whether the equipment displayed just now will be sold?"
Ouyang Shuo nodded and shook his head again.
"What does it mean?" The siege lion didn't understand.
"Sell, not sell. When I formed an alliance, I had promised to give priority to selling weapons and equipment to you. However, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, I must consider selling it to the outside world after the Shanhai Town's own troops are equipped. You have also seen that only these thousand soldiers are not fully equipped, and there is no extra equipment to sell to you now." Ouyang Shuo did not keep it.
"Although I won't sell it now, Brother Wuyi should have a psychological price. Why not explain it to us so that we can have a clear idea and prepare early after we go back." Bai Hua asked.
Others also had a lit up eyes, and they were obviously also very concerned about this issue.
You know you will ask, Ouyang Shuo used his eyes to signal Yingyou standing behind him. Yingyou understood and said with a smile: "Why don't the lords arrange for the entourage to discuss with our Finance Department for such a charity? Why bother the lords personally with the price of weapons and equipment and the issue of subsequent orders?"
Who can become a lord in one place is not a human spirit? Naturally, I heard Yingyou’s voice outside the picture. To put it bluntly, this party was still for the purpose of connecting with feelings. It is natural that the lords would not give up their faces and bargaining activities at this time, and it would be more appropriate to leave it to their subordinates.
So, the crowd was divided into two groups. Yingyou took Violet, Mu Guiying, Qin Qiong and Ju Su to the office of the Finance Department of the Lord's Office to discuss the procurement of weapons and equipment. Ouyang Shuo led the remaining people to visit Shanhai Town, accompanied by Fan Zhongyan and Tian Wenjing.
Everyone has been to the back mountain, and the Lord's Mansion is similar, and there is nothing to visit. Ouyang Shuo first took everyone to the cultural and religious district on the east side of the Lord's Mansion, and took everyone to visit the two hidden buildings of Mazu Temple, the Recruitment Hall, and Lianzhou College.
The mysterious and unpredictable Mazu Temple, the powerful functions of the Recruitment Hall and the scale of Lianzhou College all brought strong shock to Bai Hua and his party.
There are so many surprises. How many secrets are hidden in this small Shanhai Town?
What everyone is most interested in is the operating model of Lianzhou College. After all, Mazu Temple and the Recruitment Hall are both hidden buildings and cannot be envied. Only Lianzhou College can learn from it.
Ouyang Shuo did not hide his private personalities and taught everyone the experience openly. First, the academy belongs to the basic building of a third-level county town and cannot be concealed for too long. Tell everyone in advance that it can enhance the strength of allies. Second, other territories do not have the strong territorial characteristics of Shanhai Town, so they cannot recruit so many juren or Jinshi. If they come to the college to teach, no matter how they do, they cannot catch up with Lianzhou College.
Not only Ouyang Shuo said that in the Southeast Military Region, everyone consciously avoided it, and did not ignorantly say that they wanted to visit it. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo then took everyone to the Northwest Commercial Region. Here, the major workshops were in full swing and a prosperous scene.
Finally, Ouyang Shuo took everyone to the north to enjoy the scenery of Shanhai Town from a high place.
The city wall itself has already brought everyone enough shock. When everyone saw the moat surrounding the city wall, they all looked at Ouyang Shuo speechlessly.
This guy feels so insecure that he has built such a powerful fortification so early.
Mulanyue saw the flag of the Lord of Shanhai Town inserted in the city tower and said, "Oh, this flag is designed so beautifully. Well, after returning, people will also design a flag, saying it is so majestic."
"That's right, that's it." The siege lion followed and seemed a little impatient.
Looking at the golden dragon circling up on the flag, Bai Hua quipped, "Brother Wuyi, you have a great ambition. This is aiming at the supreme position."
Ouyang Shuo smiled but said nothing, which is the default.
As noon approached, Ouyang Shuo held a banquet to entertain Bai Hua and his party. The banquet was not placed in the lord's mansion, but was directly held at the Sangu Restaurant.
Sangu Restaurant is built on the most prosperous commercial street, with a total of two floors. The banquet is placed in the private room on the second floor. In the past, except Ouyang Shuo, few people were willing to come here to eat. With the increase of salary and benefits, people came here to eat from time to time on the lobby on the first floor, either to entertain relatives and friends, or to negotiate business here.
Sanniang was already waiting at the restaurant gate. When she saw Ouyang Shuo and her party, she hurriedly came up and said with a smile: "Sir, the banquet is ready and the banquet can be held at any time."
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, have Yingyou and the others arrived?"
"The young lady has arrived first and is accompanying the guests on the second floor." Gu Sanniang replied.
"Okay, then let's go up too!" Ouyang Shuo turned to Bai Hua and others and said.
After going upstairs, Yingyou nodded to Ouyang Shuo in a vague way, indicating that the negotiation had been completed. Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and asked everyone to attend the seat one by one.
For the sake of this reception, Gu Sanniang tried all her best.
There are seafood sent from Beihai Town, mutton and pork sent from the ranch, various vegetables grown in the vegetable garden, chicken, duck, geese and other poultry purchased from farmers' markets, and wild game sent from the Shanman tribe, which is already very rich.
Of course, tea is indispensable for banquets. Whether it is Baihao tea or Sanhua wine, they are rare fine products. The rich raw materials and Gu Sanniang's exquisite cooking skills can be compared to the real-life feast.
Bai Hua and others were already numb. They never expected that the materials produced by Shanhai Town were so abundant. It was extremely rare to be able to eat a meal of meat in their own territory.
"Wuwu, after this meal, people will not be able to eat when they go back." Mulan Yuejiao said silly.
Bai Hua and others nodded together in a tacit understanding, feeling resentful.
Ouyang Shuo smiled, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Come on, have a drink for our first party in Shanhai Alliance!"
"cheers!"
After a meal, it was full of fun and full of fun.
Chapter completed!
