[Today's first update is delivered! ] 】

Xu Xingxia walked over slowly and looked at the centurion of the Tartar condescendingly. The black feather arrow pierced out from behind the opponent's lower abdomen, revealing the entire arrow, and blood gushed out, staining a large area of the Gobi Desert red. There is no need to save. In fact, Xu Xingxia will not save him. What he wants is the other party's life.

"The Hellerkin tribe won't let you go! They will avenge me! You wait! The Tartar centurion struggled in pain and said unwillingly.

"I'm not going to let go of the Hellergin tribe either." Xu Xingxia said coldly.

"You...... Wait...... ...... "The Tartar centurion wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. His pupils slowly widened. Immediately, his head tilted to the side, his legs slowly straightened, and there was no more movement.

Zhang Quanfu stretched out his hand to probe his nostrils, let go of his hand, and said to Xu Xingxia: "This guy is dying happily." If he is dragged back to Fort Weizhen alive, he will look good. Our feud with the Hellergin tribe is settled. ”

Xu Xingxia nodded, pulled the black feather arrow out of the corpse of the Tartar centurion, wiped the blood stains on it, and inserted it back into the iron quiver behind him. He bent down and stood up, looked at the north, and said with an indifferent expression: "How much do you know about the Hellerkin tribe?" ”

Zhang Quanfu shook his head and said, "That's all there was just now." ”

Xu Xingxia nodded and didn't mention the matter again.

He believed the words of this Tartar centurion, and he killed the son of the leader of the Kellergin tribe, and he would definitely not give up. In the future, Niujiaodun, and even Weizhen Fort, I am afraid that there will be storms and wars. But what does it matter? Could it be that if you let this person go, the Tartars will not come to disturb you? No way!

The best way to deal with a jackal is not to be merciful to the jackal, but to be violent with the jackal. Jackals are typical bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, the weaker you are, the more merciful you are, the more they bully you. Only if you are bloodier, more ruthless, and more violent than a wolf, the jackal will not dare to provoke you.

The Tartars of the Hellergin tribe, whose hands are stained with the blood of the Ming [***] people, and talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality with such a person is a fool's behavior of two hundred and five. When the Tartar centurion threatened him, he had already made up his mind to wipe this tribe of Helkin off the map. Of course, now he can only think about it in his mind.

In fact, if you calculate it carefully, it is not very difficult to destroy this Helkin tribe. To the south of Yinshan, the situation is more complicated, and to the east of it is the headquarters of the Mongol Lin Dan Khan. The relationship between Lin Dan Khan and the Tatars was very bad. If the Ming army sent out to attack the Kylkin tribe, Lin Dan Khan would definitely not stop it, and might even send troops to help.

Under such circumstances, as long as the Ming army has 5,000 elite cavalry, plus 20,000 or 30,000 auxiliaries, it can basically defeat the Hellerkin tribe. If the Ming army in Ningxia Town is fully staffed and has a little training level, it can be done with the strength of Ningxia Town alone. However, with the current combat level of the Ming army in Ningxia Town, don't count on it.

Over there, Gao Meng's loud voice suddenly came: "Who are you?" What to do here? Stand up and open the baggage! What's in it? ”

Xu Xingxia looked back and found that Gao Meng was interrogating the middle-aged businessman viciously. If it were separated, the middle-aged businessman would be relatively tall, almost as tall as Xu Xingxia, but standing with Gao Meng, it would be dwarfed. In front of the burly Gao Meng, he was simply a quail, only trembling. Especially when Gao Meng was holding a bloody waist knife in his hand, he was even more frightened.

To say that the military households of the Ming Dynasty had too low status in peacetime and suffered from the white eyes of others, once they encountered an opportunity to be powerful, they would never let it go. Extortion is also an important source of extra money. The soldiers of Niujiaodun had also extorted passing merchants before, and had received some benefits. Basically, as long as there is an opportunity to do it, everyone will not let it go. Gao Meng, of course, will not be an exception.

This middle-aged businessman looked terrible, probably because he was so frightened that he hadn't reacted yet, and he was carrying some goods, which was the best target for extortion. If Chen Hai led the team, this businessman might have died. In this vast desert Gobi, there is no outsider, and it is the best place to kill people and sell goods. Gao Meng had already hinted at Xu Xingxia just now. Kill someone, sell the goods, and a lot of extra money will come. In this era of war and chaos, no one will track it down, not even ask.

Fortunately, Xu Xingxia traveled through the later generations and received a formal legal education, so he did not have such a mentality of killing people and overselling goods at every turn. He walked over and signaled that Gao Meng didn't need to be so fierce to others. Gao Meng withdrew his waist knife and stepped aside. Xu Xingxia glanced at a large number of businessmen and asked casually, "What's your name?" Where did it come from? Where are you going? ”

The businessman trembled and said, "Contemptible...... I...... Wang Qinian...... From the City of Naturalization...... I'm going to Ningxia City......"

Xu Xingxia vaguely felt that the name Wang Qinian seemed to have been seen there, but he couldn't remember it for a while. As for the name of the Naturalization City, I am three points familiar. Guihua City is today's Hohhot City in Inner Mongolia. At that time, it was one of the important strongholds of Lin Dan Khan, and his wife and children were there. In the later period of the Apocalypse, Lin Dan Khan was defeated by the Houjin Tartars, and retreated to Guihua City.

This Wang Qinian, who came from Naturalization City to Ningxia City, is indeed going to take this road. In the middle and early Ming Dynasty, this trade route was originally very smooth, and there were many caravans coming and going. They brought a large amount of good grassland furs from Guihua City, and took away a large amount of tea, coarse salt, silk, porcelain and other goods from Ningxia Town. It is a pity that since the Jiajing Dynasty, the Tatar power has flourished, and they have constantly crossed the Yinshan Mountain to the south, harassing the trade travelers who come and go, and finally controlled the area south of the Yinshan Mountain, basically cutting off this trade route.

Xu Xingxia asked casually, "You came here alone?" ”

Wang Qinian lowered his head and replied obviously a little nervously: "Yes." ”

Xu Xingxia frowned and said coldly: "You are not worried about the unsafe road alone?" Or, are you a Tartar? ”

Wang Qinian didn't know how to answer.

Xu Xingxia looked at him, but it didn't look like a fake. Thinking that it is not easy for everyone to make a living these days, what is it to take some risks? The Tatar cavalry plundered south, and there was a risk of being swallowed up by a sandstorm! In these days, there is no risk in doing anything? He nodded, waved his hand, and said generously: "Okay, it's okay, you can go!" ”

Wang Qinian moved his steps tremblingly.

His original war horse had been pulled over by Gao Meng. The goods on horseback are also in Gao Meng's hands. He didn't dare to ask Gao Meng to get his things back. He was already very satisfied with being able to escape from the hands of this group of Ming soldiers. If there are further requirements, if you don't do it well, your own life will be buried here.

He also has a deep understanding of the behavior of the Ming soldiers. He was a lonely businessman, and he fell into the hands of a group of Ming soldiers, almost no different from the hands of the Tartars. This time, he was indeed pulled back from the ghost gate twice. Once, it was the Tartar centurion who wanted to kill him, but he was saved by Xu Xingxia. Another time, it was these Ming soldiers who wanted to kill him, but they were also stopped by Xu Xingxia.

Xu Xingxia pointed at Gao Mengnunu, which meant to return other people's things. Gao Meng was a little reluctant to return the war horse and goods to Wang Qinian. It can be seen that he is really a little reluctant. However, Xu Xingxia's order, he can't disobey. He could only curse secretly, this Wang Qinian was indeed too lucky.

Gao Meng's movements made Xu Xingxia shake his head secretly, feeling the pressure on his shoulders. The discipline of the Ming soldiers is indeed a big problem. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the guard army or the soldiers, the military discipline was quite poor. Some troops, even robbers, are bad. Killing good people and risking merit or something, it was all made up by this group of people. If you don't dare to kill the enemy, you will kill your own people to invite merit. It is simply impossible to count on any combat effectiveness of such an army.

Seriously, by the forty-fourth year of Wanli, the roots of the Ming Dynasty were basically rotten. There are sores on the top of the head, pus on the soles of the feet, and there are tumors and cancers in the middle. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang is reborn as the emperor, there is no way to save it. Even if you have the ability to defy the sky, it can only last for a few more decades, and it is very difficult to rejuvenate it. This phenomenon is reflected in the army, even the current army, don't count on it. If you want to gain stronger combat power, you must start with a blank sheet of paper and recreate an army.

Perhaps, he can find one or two characters who are not afraid of death in the guard army or the combat system, but it is almost impossible to find some people who strictly abide by military discipline. Xu Xingxia felt that if he really led the troops, the first thing to rectify was the discipline of the troops. However, if you want to set up a group of people who are used to being casual and strict with the three disciplines and eight points of attention, I am afraid that it will be very difficult. If you don't get it right, you'll be alone. Damn, that's a lot of pressure!

"Forget it, don't worry about it for now."

Xu Xingxia subconsciously shook his head and pushed out the thoughts in his mind.

He bent down and grabbed the body of the Tartar centurion and threw it on horseback, ready to take it back. There is nothing of value on the Tartar centurion. Look at the sky, it's almost dark. The four of them quickly packed up their belongings and turned back. walked for a while, but saw Wang Qinian following them in a flash.

Gao Meng said dissatisfiedly: "The surname Wang, what are you doing with us?" ”

Wang Qinian didn't dare to speak. However, he did not dare to leave Xu Xingxia and them. In this vast Gobi, God knows what dangers will exist? Since Xu Xingxia won't hurt him, if he doesn't follow, he will be a fool. After all, he is a businessman, and his brain is still quite fast. Xu Xingxia's weakness was caught by him at once.
