【Chapter 090】I want to wear a white cloak and take the head of a tartar
(0090)
[Today's first update is delivered! ] 】
Of course, the battlefield is very chaotic, and even the best people will inevitably die. Therefore, Xu Xingxia felt that it was safer to shoot the enemy from a distance. Hand-to-hand kung fu is only used to cope with emergencies. Every time he saw the soldiers who were training in mounted archery, Xu Xingxia couldn't help but shake his head. In front of the rifled gun, the range of the bow and arrow is simply scum!
It's just that in this era, it is indeed a bit difficult to study rifled guns. The technical difficulties of flintlock pistol had to be solved first, and then the technical difficulties of rifling. Either way, it's an epoch-making progress. I hope that the craftsmen of Daming can solve these technical problems as soon as possible. As long as there is a rifled gun, he can sweep the world.
……
One day in early April, Xu Xingxia received a report that Wang Qinian had arrived. Xu Xingxia rode his horse back to Niujiaodun, and saw Wang Qinian standing outside Niujiaodun from a distance, watching the training of the soldiers in the distance with interest. Looking at his appearance, he seems to be very interested in everything in front of him, and vaguely, there is a little bit of deep thought.
It was a bit abrupt for a businessman to be so interested in the training of the army, but Xu Xingxia didn't think much about it. He also thought that it was the novel training method of his traverser that attracted Wang Qinian's attention. This is not surprising at all. Push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups and other training were not available in this era. As for cohort training, as well as housekeeping, it is also quite novel.
Xu Xingxia rode his horse to Wang Qinian's side, and asked with a split head and face: "Lao Wang, did you bring the white cloak I wanted?" ”
Wang Qinian reluctantly withdrew his attention, and said repeatedly: "It's all brought, it's all brought." ”
As he spoke, he pulled his war horse over and carried the burden off the horse's back. He untied one of the burdens, took out a white cloak from it, spread it out in an orderly manner, and displayed it in front of Xu Xingxia.
Xu Xingxia picked up the white cloak, carefully inspected it, and felt that the quality was indeed good. The white cloak should be made of cotton, which feels very tactile to the touch. At that time, cotton cloth was still relatively high-end, more high-end than ordinary linen, and the price was also more expensive. Unexpectedly, this Wang Qinian is quite fair in business. At the beginning, I thought this guy was a first-class annihilator. His appearance does look like a merchant destroyer.
At this time, there was suddenly a trace of doubt from Xu Xingxia's mind, which quickly passed by. This guy looks like a businessman, doing business with himself, but he is not bullied. He is so honest and duty-oriented, he is estimated to make little profit, and he doesn't know how he lives his life. However, this slightest question was fleeting, and it didn't stay in Xu Xingxia's mind for too long, and he didn't think about it anymore.
Xu Xingxia nodded and said with satisfaction: "Okay, not bad." ”
Wang Qinian had a smile on his face. Judging from the smile alone, this guy is definitely a first-class annihilator. Anyone who sees him will only think that he is a deceitful businessman, and will only think of doing business with him, and must not be cheated by him, and will not think of anything else.
Xu Xingxia suddenly remembered something, put the white cloak back into the baggage, and asked with concern: "By the way, Wang Qinian, have you bought any new diamonds during this time?" ”
Wang Qinian shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, my lord, not for the time being." ”
Xu Xingxia advised: "You try to find a way!" ”
Wang Qinian agreed.
Xu Xingxia beckoned and shouted, "Gao Meng, Liu Chuang, come here!" ”
Gao Meng and Liu Chuang hurriedly ran over and waited for orders.
Xu Xingxia pointed to the retaliation on the ground and said, "Help me move these white cloaks to the training ground!" ”
The two agreed, took two war horses, threw the burden back on the horse's back, and soon pulled the white cloak to the training ground. Xu Xingxia looked back casually and found that Wang Qinian was still lingering near Niujiaodun, looking at this side from time to time, looking very concerned. He didn't take it to heart either. Perhaps, Wang Qinian, this guy, thinks that his training method is quite novel, and he wants to open his eyes!
Xu Xingxia clapped his hands and shouted, "Brothers! Come here! ”
The Ming soldiers who were training all leaned over one after another, looking curiously at the burden on the horse's back. During this time, Xu Xingxia came up with a lot of new methods, new ideas, and new tricks, and some new methods tortured them very much. The soldiers were very suspicious that there might be something tormenting them in these two burdens.
Xu Xingxia pulled out a white cloak, showed it in front of everyone, and said loudly: "This is the white cloak I specially ordered!" What do you think? Looks good, right? ”
He tied the white cloak around his neck, dressed it neatly, and then stood on a dirt slope and showed it to everyone in front of him. The white cloak fluttered in the wind, a piece of snow white, set off by the dark red mandarin duck battle jacket, which was indeed full of wind.
The only regret is that Xu Xingxia has an arrow pot behind his back, and he has to carry an iron tire bow, and the white cloak is pressed down and cannot fully flutter. If it's not an archer, it's even more stylish. Just imagine, wearing a snow-white cape, riding a snow-white war horse galloping, and the wind blows the white cloak straight up, what kind of scenery is that?
All the soldiers, infected by Xu Xingxia's white cloak, couldn't help but widen their eyes. Someone involuntarily wiped their eyes, as if they were a little dazzled. Yes, they were all attracted by the appearance of the white cloak. The armor of the Ming army was originally good, and when worn outside, it also deserved to be a few words of distinctive armor and heroic posture. However, it would be even better if you added a white cape.
Even Yu Lijun was attracted by Xu Xingxia's idea. If everyone is issued with such a white cloak, these soldiers under Xu Xingxia can have a special term, called "White Army". In the town of Ningxia, it seems that there is no such army yet. Looking forward to it, a piece of white cloak galloped on horseback, and the scene was indeed quite spectacular.
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a general named Chen Qingzhi in Southern Liang, and the troops he led were all white-clothed, white-robed and white-cloaked, known as the white-robed army, which was very popular, and once killed the Northern Wei army to retreat three thousand miles, and even Luoyang gave up. Could it be that Xu Xingxia also wanted to give his troops the title of the white-robed army because of this allusion?
Xu Xingxia really wanted to emulate Chen Qingzhi and form a white-clothed army, but his method was slightly different from Chen Qingzhi. He thought more deeply than Chen Qingzhi. Stroking the white cloak on his body, Xu Xingxia said loudly: "These white cloaks are specially customized by me and are ready to be distributed to everyone. However, not everyone is eligible to wear it. If you want to put on this white cloak, you have to kill at least one Tartar! ”
After a slight pause, Xu Xingxia looked at each soldier in front of him, and said word by word: "That is to say, if you want to wear this white cloak, you have to exchange a Tartar head first!" There are no Tartar heads, I'm sorry, you just look at it for the time being! Now, whoever has killed the Tartars with his own hands, stand up for me! ”
Zhang Quanfu, Gao Meng, Liu Chuang, Mao Shisan, Lin Dacheng, Chen Shouwang, Liu Heng and others, as long as they have killed the Tartars with their own hands, they all stood up one after another. Among the soldiers of Niujiaodun, excluding Xu Xingxia himself, there are a total of thirteen people who have killed the Tartars with their own hands, which is actually quite a lot. When the Black Mountain Battalion was said to have fought in the first battle, several people had made great contributions. These exploits, of course, do not include Xu Xingxia's own sharing.
"After you get the white cloak, I will allow you to embroider stars on it. A star represents a tartar, and the more tartars you kill, the more stars you have on your cloak. When you have three stars on your cloak, you're qualified to be my personal bodyguard. If you don't want to be my personal bodyguard, I can arrange for him to be an officer. Xu Xingxia continued to say in an impassioned tone.
The soldiers in front of them were suddenly boiling. Three stars! Three stars can be Xu Xingxia's personal guard, such an arrangement is indeed very exciting. Everyone knows the relationship between the personal guard and the boss. As long as the boss is satisfied, he will be released casually in the future, and he will be a senior officer. If you don't want to be a personal guard for the boss, then it doesn't matter, you can directly serve as a grassroots officer!
"Zhang Quanfu!"
Xu Xingxia began to roll call.
"Here!"
Zhang Quanfu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
Xu Xingxia picked up a white cloak, put it on Zhang Quanfu with his own hands, and carefully tidied up the hem of the white cloak. Other meritorious soldiers, Xu Xingxia also helped them one by one, hung up the white cloak, and carefully sorted it out. Soon after, all thirteen meritorious soldiers wore white cloaks.
The wind was blowing constantly in the wilderness, blowing all the white cloaks of the people into the flutter, giving people a refreshing feeling, and also making people feel the boiling of eagerness. Xu Xingxia suddenly found that there were a total of thirteen people wearing white cloaks under his command. This is completely a copy of the Thirteenth Taibao.
Looking at the thirteen Taibao who pulled the wind, the other soldiers were of course a little red-eyed. Especially Chi Hu and others, who joined the team later, secretly complained that they didn't catch up with the good time. If you had joined the team the last time the Tartar arrived, you would have been eligible to wear a white cloak today. Chi Hu is still very confident in his own strength.
Damn, this white cloak is worthless, but it's a real glory. No matter where you go in the future, others will know that you have killed the Tartars, and you can glorify your ancestors. Even if you die in the future, you can keep it as a family heirloom. In case the children and grandchildren ask, the family also has capital to show off!
