【Chapter 217】Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river

Originally, Minghao was also a hundred households, and he also needed to attend the review meeting. However, for the sake of safety, Xu Xingxia decided to let Ming Hao pretend to be sick and stay in Weizhen Fort and not come out. If you bring him this oil bottle, Xu Xingxia will not be able to get out. In fact, it doesn't matter if Ming Hao goes to Ningxia City or not, if someone asks about the Beacon Pier in Karon Mountain, he Xu Xingxia can respond on his behalf. In fact, the situation in Karon Mountain at that time was indeed Xu Xingxia in charge, and Ming Hao was the one who did it at all, and he didn't know the cause and effect of the matter at all.

Regarding Xu Xingxia's suggestion, Ming Hao couldn't ask for it, so he naturally pretended to be sick immediately and didn't go to Ningxia City. In the past few days, under the operation of well-intentioned people, his family has quietly moved to Weizhenbao, and is determined to make Weizhenbao his home. Most of his subordinates quietly took over their families. Anyway, their families are so poor that they don't have any property, they just need someone to come over.

"My lord, are you really going?" Yu Lijun asked a little worriedly.

"Yes, I have to go." Xu Xingxia nodded and said. It was a meeting of the trilateral governors, and he could not afford not to go. Minghao can pretend to be sick, but he can't. He didn't want to pretend either. What's more, there is still a vacant position of a thousand households, and he also needs to work hard to fight for it. The power gap between 100 and 1,000 households is too great. If there is a chance to be directly promoted to a thousand households, he will never let it go. A thousand households, much stronger than a hundred.

For the Weisho military system, only by becoming a thousand households can it be regarded as completely owning its own territory. A thousand-household office has 1,120 military households, and each military household has at least 25 acres of fields, and the total number of fields in the entire thousand-household office is almost more than 30,000 acres. Each military household has several family members, and there may be merchants and floating populations in the area under the jurisdiction of the thousand households, and it is not uncommon for the population of the entire thousand households to exceed 10,000 people.

There are people, there are land, there are craftsmen's workshops and the like, and it is a small kingdom! As long as you are a little stronger, you can do whatever you want on your own turf, and you can do whatever you want. If the standards of later generations are applied, they are county and regiment-level cadres, which are equivalent to a mixture of the secretary of the county party committee and the head of the regiment, with not only military power, but also territory. Yes, the Guards military system is such a perverted existence.

This is a last resort, every thousand households, basically a small festival envoy, all the output in the territory is their own, and they do not need to be handed over. On the contrary, they can also receive a certain amount of money and food from the state every year. What a thousand households need to pay is to lead troops to fight. As long as you have the ability, you can work hard to make money, desperately increase the population, desperately make equipment, and desperately enhance your own strength.

Of course, the responsibility borne by 1,000 households is much greater than that of 100 households. The purpose of the existence of the garrison army is to fight. Basically, the Thousand Households have to undertake the combat mission of reading power. Dozens of Tartars and the like have to be done by the thousand households themselves. There are a total of 50,000 households in Ningxia Town, and a considerable number of them are located in key areas. Obviously, once the Tartars invade, these thousand houses will bear the brunt. Actually, this is all nonsense. If the responsibility you bear is not heavy, the imperial court will give you the power to be similar to the envoy of moderation?

If he can become a thousand households in Zhenshuo Fort, Xu Xingxia will be able to show his strength and develop in an all-round way. It's a pity that the current situation is not very clear. It is estimated that the governor and the chief military officer will definitely not let themselves replace the thousand households in Zhenshuo Fort, and it is impossible for the superiors not to know the truth of raising tigers. Trapping yourself in Fort Willtown is the best option. The congenital conditions of Weizhen Fort are insufficient, and no matter how much wealth he has, he will not be able to grow quickly. Even if the Montenegrin battalion were to be rehabilitated, there would still be shortcomings in terms of productivity.

In order to avoid accidents, some necessary preparations should be made in advance. The Xiongqu Army is absolutely to be brought, and it must also bring sufficient weapons and ammunition. He entered Ningxia City alone, and the soldiers of the Xiongqu Army had to meet him outside, of course. If any unexpected situation happens, with Xiong Qujun in hand, you can advance or retreat. The rest of the white-clad troops are ready to respond. It is clearly stated above that it is not allowed to bring any form of family into Ningxia City. It doesn't matter, Xiong Qujun is not going to enter Ningxia City.

What name did Xiong Qujun take to receive him? In the name of training, of course. The white-clothed army is in the vicinity of Ningxia City, quietly engaging in some hidden training, without alarming others, it should be no problem. If someone asked, they would generously answer, saying that they were going to Ao Bao Pimple to suppress bandits. Tuoba Su is in Ao Bao Pimple's lair, and Xu Xingxia has never had time to destroy it.

At the end of August, Xu Xingxia led the team and set off from Weizhenbao. When they arrived near Pingyu City, the soldiers of the Xiongqu Army lurked nearby and responded at any time, while Xu Xingxia came to Pingyu City alone. As one of the hundred households in Pingyu's Thousand Households, the first thing he wanted to go to was, of course, Peng Feng's Thousand Households. According to the regulations, 100 households must first report to 1000 households, and then gather together and go to Ningxia City.

This is the first time Xu Xingxia has come to Pingyu City, and it feels quite fresh. Compared with Weizhen Fort, Pingyu City is indeed quite bigger. Fort Weizhen has only one long cross street and one fort gate. Pingyu Castle has tic-tac-toe streets, with a total of four gates. The height of the city wall is also at least one zhang higher than that of Weizhen Fort. On both sides of the street, there are more than 30 shops in an orderly row. There are also many more people passing through the streets than Fort Willtown.

In fact, the scale of Pingyu City is not as good as Zhenshuo Fort. In addition to cultivating the land, the conditions of Pingyu City are not as good as those of Zhenshuo Fort. More often than not, Pingyu City resembles an agricultural town, a commercial town, and Zhenshuo Fort is more like an industrial town.

"He's Xu Xingxia?"

"That's right, he is Xu Xingxia......"

"He killed Tuoba Su? I couldn't ...... think of it."

Vaguely, Xu Xingxia heard someone behind him talking about himself quietly.

What he did in Fort Weizhen was best known to the people of Pingyu City. The extermination of Tuoba Su has gradually spread. Many people have seen Xu Xingxia's appearance in private portraits. The biggest feature of Xu Xingxia's portrait is that he carries a big bow and a huge black feather arrow. Now, they can recognize Xu Xingxia himself on horseback by comparing the portrait and then against Xu Xingxia on horseback.

In the minds of the military households in Pingyu City, Xu Xingxia is indeed a capable person. Whether he can fight or not, this is not the most critical. The most important thing is that he can lead everyone to get rich. Fighting, not many people like it. However, to make a fortune, there is no one who does not like it. However, these two sample collars were all learned by Xu Xingxia. Fort Weizhen is really different from what it used to be.

Those Pingyu City military households who had been to Weizhen Fort and came back were very envious. In the past, the poor were going to die, and only those who had no way to live would go there and wait for death. In the past, the people of Pingyu City were not even willing to go to Weizhen Fort to visit their relatives. No one asks about being poor in the downtown area, and being rich has distant relatives in the mountains, which is human nature, let alone being poor in the mountains. However, now it is very different.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, the current Weizhenbao military households, face foundation, are much better than before. Xu Xingxia has too much silver in his hands, as long as you have the ability, you can earn it. Working in the craftsman's workshop in Fort Weizhen, earning a tael of silver a month, there is no problem at all. If you have a little special skill, you can even earn two taels of silver a month. In the case of a large area of arrears of money and grain, it is absolutely joyful to be able to earn two taels of silver a month.

Under the lure of white flowers and silver, there are more and more people who go to Weizhenbao from Pingyu City and even Ningxia City to go to Weizhenbao. Some people even stayed in Weizhen Fort in the name of visiting relatives, and went to work in the craftsman's workshop to earn extra money. Some people don't even want an excuse to go to their relatives, and they just go to Weizhenbao to work. Xu Xingxia was not polite and accepted them all. If it weren't for Peng Feng and Zhang Qiuqing's obstruction, maybe some military households would have taken refuge directly from Pingyu City to Weizhenbao.

"Ho, big black head." Xu Xingxia suddenly smiled and shouted.

It turned out that he saw the guerrilla general Wu Datou. Wu Datou was still the garrison of Pingyu City a few months ago, but later, for some reason, he was actually promoted by one level and mixed with a guerrilla general. And the original guerrilla general Lu Yide was also promoted by one level and became a general. Sure enough, the guy who knows how to pat on the back is promoted quickly!

The soldiers stationed in Pinglu City are the main force against the Tartars, and this time Mo Yuegen invaded, and the soldiers led by Wu Datou have been cowering in Pingyu City and have never appeared. No one knows if Huang Kezhang is traced to the end, the bosses of the soldiers will be whipped. The Weisuo army was weak in battle, repeatedly defeated, and there were many excuses, and it was estimated that the upper authorities did not expect anything from the Weisuo army. However, there are not so many excuses for the soldiers.

"Xu Xingxia? It's you? When Wu Datou saw Xu Xingxia, his face was quite ugly. To say that in Ningxia Town, among the few people he least wanted to see, there was this Xu Xingxia. Xu Xingxia can even overturn Lu Yide, who else can stop him? After the news of Xu Xingxia's killing of Tuoba Su came, Wu Datou made up his mind that he would never go against Xu Xingxia head-on. Even if it is a plot behind the scenes, you have to be careful not to expose it.

He turned out to be a horse thief, and he knew how powerful Tuoba Su was. To be honest, if Tuoba Su wants to deal with his black head, he will blow casually, and his black head will disappear. Now, even Tuoba Su is not Xu Xingxia's opponent, and he gave away his own life, how can he not be frightened? Old Devil Xu is really Old Devil Xu, and he is indeed a pervert. A hundred Wu Datou and Lu Yide combined, they are not Xu Lao Mo's opponents!
