【Chapter 089】Silently accumulate strength and silently wait for the opportunity
(0089)
Although there are only more than 10 people's money and food, because they have been in arrears for too long, they are now all distributed at once, and the total amount is still quite large. For this reason, the general banner had to requisition more than a dozen wagons to transport all the grain to Niujiaodun. As for the silver taels, it is not much, adding up to a few hundred taels of silver, and a few small cloth bags are finished. The arrival of more than a dozen horse-drawn carts full of grain immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Because Niujiaodun is garrisoned by Xu Xingxia, and Xu Xingxia is the nemesis of the Tartars, some bold Weizhenbao military households have dared to haunt around Niujiaodun. Some military households even opened up a few vegetable plots around Niujiaodun to grow some common vegetables. Their thoughts, that is, the luck of Xu Xingxia, were able to shake the Tartars and keep their fields. If it is not saved, it is not a big problem, and there is no big loss anyway.
No, seeing a large number of grain trucks coming to Niujiaodun, most of these military households who were working hurriedly approached each other, and their eyes were all full of envy. It would be nice if so much food could be distributed to my own hands. Not to mention anything else, at least you can open your belly at night and eat a full meal. It's a pity that these grains are all distributed to the soldiers of Niujiaodun, and there is no one else's share at all.
"Lao Yu, this matter is up to you."
According to Xu Xingxia's arrangement, Yu Lijun was responsible for the distribution of money and grain. He read the names of the soldiers one by one, and gave them the full amount of money and food. Xu Xingxia stood next to him, responsible for maintaining order and supervising the distribution by the way. Judging from the comparison of the number and the real thing, Peng Feng did not engage in ghosts this time, and the number was sufficient. However, this also made Xu Xingxia more vigilant. Peng Feng actually made such a big concession, obviously he would not be reconciled, if he was not careful, he might fall into Peng Feng's plot.
In this world, it is always easy to dodge with open guns, but difficult to defend against hidden arrows. Since he defeated Lu Yide, it is estimated that he will have to deal with himself and will not make a move openly. They're sure to think of something more insidious. It's as if Sobud arrived last time, and it was obvious that he had received accurate information. Who gave this information to Sobud, Xu Xingxia still doesn't know. At present, he does not have any intelligence professionals under his command.
"I got the ......"
received the arrears of money and food in full, which made the soldiers of Niujiaodun very happy. Old Yang, they even secretly shed muddy tears of gratitude. The family members of each soldier also arrived early from Weizhen Fort and happily moved the money and food back to their homes. Looking at the heavy grain on the horseback, they were once again convinced that as long as they followed Xu Xingxia with all their hearts, they would definitely have a chance.
This kind of allegiance is manifested in Zhang Quanfu, Gao Meng and others, who have quietly branded a triangular mark on their left arm, which is exactly the same as Xu Xingxia's left arm mark. They may not be very clear about the specific meaning of this brand, and Xu Xingxia has not explained it in detail. However, they can all feel that if they want to be their own person with Xu Xingxia, they must have this imprint. Otherwise, you are an outsider.
Now Niujiaodun, only Yu Lijun is alone, and there is no such brand. However, Yu Lijun is a person whose surname is relatively withdrawn, and his behavior is more readable, and it is understandable that he is unwilling to be a housekeeper for Xu Xingxia. After all, Yu Lijun's current position is to pacify, and a calmer to a hundred households is indeed a bit inadequate. Besides, Yu Lijun didn't get a lot of benefits from Xu Xingxia.
Of course, this will not affect the relationship between Xu Xingxia and Yu Lijun. In fact, on most issues, Yu Lijun and Xu Xingxia are still relatively compatible. Yu Lijun can't get used to the darkness above, but unfortunately he has no ability to fight against his boss. Xu Xingxia's actions just gave Yu Lijun hope. Therefore, for Xu Xingxia's actions, Yu Lijun is fully supportive, as long as it is what Xu Xingxia orders, he will go all out to do it.
After the arrears of money and food were paid in full, Yu Lijun went to Weili again and asked to exchange his military exploits for silver. Regrettably, however, there are no clear results. The boss didn't directly say that he wouldn't exchange his military exploits, but just said that there was no money for the time being. Such a soft nail, of course Yu Lijun understands that it is all an excuse. It seems that the top is no longer very interested in the exploits of Niu Jiaodun. There was no way, he had to come back truthfully to report Xu Xingxia.
Yu Lijun originally thought that Xu Xingxia would organize his subordinates again to go to Ningxia City to make trouble, forcing his superiors to cash out their military exploits into silver taels as soon as possible. However, it is a little strange that Xu Xingxia did not do this, he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and later, he simply seemed to forget about it. Actually, Xu Xingxia is not stunned, he knows very well where the bottom line is.
With his current strength, it's still okay to tinker with Qianhu, but if he goes to tinker with the commander of the guard, it's a bit too much. The commander of the guard is in a hurry, and he will even send out armed soldiers to deal with him. Of course, Xu Xingxia would not do such an unwise thing. Of course, in the future, when the strength becomes stronger and the wings are full, then it must be done.
If you want to fight against your boss, the biggest backstage is the force in your hands. To put it bluntly, it is the number and quality of the armed forces under their respective commands. To put it more clearly, it is the strength of the armed family members they have. Xu Xingxia's current number of armed family members is not enough to confront Deng Rubai, so he can only silently accumulate strength and wait for the right time.
As a hundred, Xu Xingxia has not been able to train a larger number of households, so he can only work quality. He wants his family to completely surpass Deng Rubai's family in terms of individual combat effectiveness. Therefore, throughout April, Xu Xingxia constantly urged his subordinates to train like crazy.
On the Tatar side, it is estimated that after Sobud returned, news spread that there was a perverted archer in Ningxia Town recently, and sporadic Tartars had not appeared for several days. The wilderness around the Niujiao Pier is particularly quiet. Xu Xingxia also took time to go to Zhenyuan Pass, and found that there was no trace of Tartar cavalry activities in the Gobi Desert outside Zhenyuan Pass. It seems that the Tartar cavalry did not go south for a while.
The Tartar did not appear, and there were advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that there is no Tartar attack, and Xu Xingxia can train his troops with confidence. The vegetable fields around the Niujiaodun can also be cultivated smoothly. The military households of Fort Weizhen can also rest assured for a while. The disadvantage is that there are no Tartars coming, and there seems to be no war merits to be gained. Xu Xingxia's main source of income at present has to rely on his military exploits. Without the head of the Tartars, there would be no main source of income.
However, even if there are enough military exploits, they may not be able to be exchanged for silver taels. After all, the exchange of war merits is limited by the superiors. The boss is always in arrears of silver taels for war exploits, and refuses to cash them, even if he has war exploits, he can't get the silver in a short time, which seems to be a trouble. It seems that it is necessary to open up new sources of wealth in order to get rid of the domination of the top!
In addition, the Tartars did not go south, and there was a big concern that the Tartars might be planning a large-scale operation. The little prince of the Hellerkin tribe was shot and killed, and the eldest prince fled back in embarrassment, and it would be strange to say that the Hellerkin tribe could endure this breath. Even if it was him Xu Xingxia, I am afraid he would not be able to bear this breath. Therefore, one can think of it on the heels that the Tatars must have been mobilizing troops and planning a large-scale invasion.
According to the information revealed by Wang Qinian, the Tatars have been at war with the Tumut tribe commanded by Lin Dan Khan, and this Kyllegin tribe is the vanguard of the Tatars, and the main forces are used to deal with Lin Dan Khan. If the Kylekin tribe draws troops from the front line and launches an attack on Ningxia Town, the war will really burn. When the time comes, the Tatar cavalry going south will not be able to be dozens or even hundreds, but it may be thousands.
Once the more than 30 soldiers of Niujiaodun encountered a large-scale attack by the Tatars, the consequences could be imagined. After all, the horn pier is just a beacon pier, and its main function is to alarm the police, and there are still big defects in terms of defensive strength. As long as the number of Tatar cavalry exceeded five hundred, the horn pier was very dangerous. If the number of Tatar cavalry exceeded 1,000, there was basically no chance of survival.
Of course, before the demise of Niujiaodun, Xu Xingxia would also inflict the heaviest losses on the Tatars. However, the room for maneuver in Niujiaodun is indeed too small, and the troops that can be stationed are too small. No matter how many Tartars he could shoot, the final result was still total annihilation. In order to avoid this worst-case scenario, Xu Xingxia could only desperately improve his strength. If you can't beat it, we can escape! Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood!
When his subordinates were desperately training in mounted archery, Xu Xingxia followed Gao Meng and desperately practiced hand-to-hand combat kung fu, especially the kung fu on horseback. This is to prepare for a future breakout battle. The Tatar cavalry went south on a large scale, and at least half of the targets were coming at him Xu Xingxia. As long as he Xu Xingxia is not in Niujiaodun, the Tatar cavalry will not desperately attack Niujiaodun. In other words, the horn pier is safe for the time being.
At that time, there were two main types of battles on horseback, one was with short weapons such as sabers, and the other was with long weapons such as spears. Whether it is a long weapon or a short weapon, Xu Xingxia has to learn it from scratch. He has a lot of strength, and he doesn't need to worry about not killing others with one sword, he just needs to learn how to hit the enemy with one sword, but avoid being hit by the enemy.
Obviously, he still has a little talent in martial arts. Perhaps he has the talent of an archer, and he has mastered the skills of agility and dodging very quickly. This means that, on horseback, he is faster to shoot and dodge faster than others. In this way, there is a maximum chance of killing the opponent first and avoiding being killed by the opponent.
