In the wilderness, the humble camp of the Ming army was set up, and Xu Jin sat by the well, holding the iron cup and pouring two mouthfuls into his mouth until the water in the cup was exhausted, and then scooped a glass of water from the bucket by the well, and slowly wiped his helmet.

This is a standard Beiyang officer's bowl, the helmet has a golden bronze finch eyebrows, the wings cover both sides of the cheeks, and the top is a high blue tassel, which is very conspicuous.

The helmet was stained with soil, and the hundred households behind him were waiting for the hundred households behind to send the gunpowder, and Xu Jin wiped it first.

Mr. Tsuneyoshi of the Toyo Military Office said in his book that military uniforms and flags should be clean and tidy, and weapons and armor should be powerful and bright, so that the enemy can be ashamed of himself before he has even surrendered his troops, and even if he occupies the enemy city, he can win the hearts of the people.

Although most of the officers wondered where Mr. Tsuneyoshi, who had never fought before, knew so much about heresy, they did what they said. No one knows if you can make the enemy ashamed of yourself, but before the big battle, watching the cold light of your own army and the colorful enemy army formation can really boost the morale of your own army, and it is easy to distinguish who is the real elite division.

Before the hundred households escorting gunpowder came, the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside the camp, and the camp that had been silent for a moment seemed to come to life, whether it was boiling water or gathering around the bonfire to warm up and melt lead, all of them immediately buckled their helmets and lifted their bird guns to climb the wooden wall.

The hundred households who were scrubbing the bowl also ran up to the wooden shooting wall one and a half people high, and saw that it was Ma Bole, the chief banner under his command, who led two flag soldiers to gallop on horseback, and held a rope in his hand and held an iron can behind him.

Xu Jin frowned when he saw it, and carried the bird gun in front of him on his shoulder: "Ma Lao Liu, Xu Mou ordered five times, don't take prisoners, why don't you understand?" ”

"You two, take off your armor and take it to the pit behind the camp and bury it."

"Captain Captain!" Hearing this, Ma Bole, the chief flag officer, hurriedly jumped off the horse and raised his hand to stop him: "This is rare, I can speak Xiyi dialect, it's useful!" ”

Xu Jin was awarded the rank of Captain Zhaoxin, the virtual title of military attache is equivalent to the rank of military rank, and the lowest officer is this Captain Zhaoxin.

Call.

Xu Jin let out a long breath, raised his arm and pointed to the general flag and said, "You bring me in with a horse." ”

Then he looked at the two flag soldiers outside angrily and said, "Execution." ”

"Yes!"

The flag army outside the camp received the order, and two flag soldiers at the camp gate went out of the camp to assist, and walked around the trench and walked to the back of the camp with iron cans.

Seeing that he was powerless to return to the sky, the chief flag officer led the horse with a slugger and walked into the camp dejectedly, followed by Xu Jin of the hundred households raised his hand and slapped it on the back of the head through gritted teeth, and then was pulled aside.

"I know you have a big family to support, your father and mother are alive and the eldest brother died early, leaving a sister-in-law and nephew, the second brother and the third brother fled and got lost, the fourth brother gambler ran away with a butt of debts, and the fifth child in the family broke his leg by grabbing water with someone, but can you not be so short-sighted?"

"Fu Shuai has an order, don't take prisoners, don't ransom, we are not benevolent and righteous teachers, the Ming Dynasty is not the case of nobles, what's the matter, he eats well and lives well, and he is more comfortable than us ordinary people when he dies and is stabbed, and it will be over for some money?"

Ma Bole explained embarrassedly: "No, Captain, he really understands Xiyi language...... Don't I want you to make a meritorious contribution too? ”

"Make a fart, you slaughter a few more of these things in the future, even if you give me a great merit."

Xu Jin said, his tone softened: "I know, the ransom of their nobles is a lot, and if you catch one, you can pay off all the debts owed by your fourth brother, and even the expenses of the second half of the fifth brother's life will be settled. ”

"We were recruited in the army to train in Beiyang for two years and in the East for one year, and we learned a skill, and we saw that we would have to go back in more than a year, and we didn't catch up with the big battle and didn't make money, so I was anxious - but isn't there still a war exploit."

"Compared to promotion, you can tell me." Xu Jin patted Ma Bole and said, "How much is this ransom?" ”

The more Ma Bole listened, the more short of breath he became, and finally sat on the ground, groped out a crooked Makino cigarette from his pocket, lit it and sighed: "But this battle is too difficult, the first level is not considered merit, and only the armor is considered merit, this time I will go back, as soon as Fu Shuai's army arrives, I don't know if I can catch up with the battle next time." ”

"Three hundred miles are going to be completed, don't talk about me, the entire hundred households department has only taken seven sets of complete plate armor with a banner number, and the armor-piercing must be killed, otherwise it will be considered a lie."

In fact, Xu Jin's 100 households have already won the most, they are Yuan Zizhang and Wang Youscale's 18 100 households, and together with them, there are 5 100 households, and they have fought 12 battles all the way to kill seven nobles.

Not to mention the small encounters on the road, they are all stragglers, even if there are troops assembled, it is only a nobleman with dozens or even hundreds of troops, sometimes the nobleman sees that the situation is not good, he rides a horse and runs away, and he can't catch up.

As for the battle record and casualties, there is no need to say that the regular army goes to fight these stragglers, not to mention that sometimes the strength is superior, even if the strength is not superior, most of the cases do not need support, as long as there is no artillery and a few cavalry, Xu Jin is too lazy to waste gunpowder, and he swept through the three columns of horizontal formations, and he was considered elite if he did not run on the opposite side in a rotation.

Twelve battles, only two, once the enemy forces gathered together, first ate a small meal of flag arrows, and then charged forward twelve steps next to the bird's wheel, until thirty-three grenades were thrown into the arms, which exploded to the ground, and the remaining more than 200 people were stabbed three miles by the Beiyang Banner Army of a hundred households, and the rout crashed into the arms of another hundred households.

Xu Jin looked at the appearance of the general flag under his subordinates, looked left and right, and then approached and sat down and whispered: "This shouldn't have been told to you, you know it in your heart after listening to it, don't give me a blind show elsewhere, Fu Shuai, you really treat our recruited flag officers as brothers, you know that we crossed the Great East Ocean and came here to punish Queen Mother Francis for coveting Brazil, so do you know how to punish it?" ”

Ma Bole shook his head with a confused face: "Kill their nobles, don't let them redeem?" ”

"Isn't that something wrong? It is these armors, an armor is a nobleman, the more they have their seals, the more the better, and when they surrender and negotiate, all these territories will be cut over, and they will be canonized by the marshal who holds the imperial sword, and they will be governed on the spot to herd horses and grow grain. ”

Xu Jin said and sat next to Ma Bole, raised his face and squinted, and said, "Now you know why you don't need them for ransom?" The opening up of the territory is a celebration of the whole world, and those people who have been looted for ransom may be under the rule of one of us in the future, and you really want them to spend their wealth for irrelevant people? ”
