Xu Xingxia and the others did not return to Weizhenbao, but returned directly to Niujiaodun. Although Peng Feng did not express his anger on the spot, he also promised to distribute the money and food in full, but Xu Xingxia obviously felt that the relationship between himself and Peng Feng had completely broken down. Although the two parties have never had any special relationship before, and they have not even had the opportunity to get along alone, from now on, as long as there is an opportunity to make things difficult for themselves, Peng Feng will definitely not let it go.

This is a foreseeable consequence. There might be some other troubles in places he didn't foresee. Kung fu such as hitting black guns, stumbling blocks, and plucking geese is super proficient in every official of the Ming Dynasty, and Peng Feng will certainly not be an exception. However, Xu Xingxia is not worried. The great man has long said to the point, power comes out of the barrel of a gun. As long as you have a powerful armed force in your hands, you don't have to worry about sudden changes in the wind and clouds, and you can sit firmly on the fishing boat.

Today, he was able to force Peng Feng to vomit out the money and food he had swallowed, and he didn't rely on his own force? If he didn't have his excellent archery skills, without the support of the twenty or thirty soldiers at Niujiaodun, and without the hundreds of military households in Weizhen Fort as the backing, would Peng Feng easily succumb? Of course not. He will mercilessly wipe out all those who try to rise up and rebel.

"Guys, we're back safely."

Xu Xingxia greeted the soldiers of Niujiaodun enthusiastically.

Those Niujiaodun soldiers who did not go to Pingyu City were very concerned about the result of this trouble, and they were waiting outside Niujiaodun early. Among them, the most concerned are Lao Yang Tou and others. They are all old, and there is no way to go into battle and fight the Tartars. Their stable income can only be the prescribed money and food every month. Therefore, Xu Xingxia's success or failure this time has the greatest impact on them.

"Lord Baihu, I don't know our money and food...... Old Yang asked a little impatiently. Behind him, there were several old soldiers on the horn pier. They all looked at Xu Xingxia with expectant eyes, hoping to get a positive answer from Xu Xingxia.

"Lord Qianhu said it, and it will be distributed in full." Xu Xingxia said calmly.

"Is it true? That's great, that's great. Old Yang's words couldn't help choking. For these old soldiers, the arrears of money and food are not a small amount. If the amount is distributed, they will not have to worry about the food and clothing of their families for a long time in the future.

"Of course it's true. The Lord of the Thousand Households has already promised in person, and it should not be a lie. If I don't receive the money within three days, I will continue to show up until all the money and food are distributed. Xu Xingxia said awe-inspiringly.

With Xu Xingxia's assurance, Lao Yang Tou and others were completely relieved. However, while they were happy, they were faintly a little uneasy. They all knew how difficult it was to get all the money and food they belonged to from above. Not only can it not be in arrears, but it must be paid in full, even if it is a thousand households, it is also extremely stressful.

Some smart people can even speculate that the matter of deducting money and grain is definitely not done by Peng Feng alone, and when the money and grain reach Peng Feng's hands, maybe there will be a lot less. Now that Peng Feng is going to vomit up all the money and food, Peng Feng doesn't know if he will be angry and take some drastic actions. Xu Xingxia is only a hundred households, but Peng Feng is a thousand, if the two of them fight, it is not yet known who will kill the deer!

The news that Niujiaodun was asking for money and grain soon spread to Weizhen Fort, causing quite a stir. Those military households who didn't have the courage to follow Xu Xingxia to Pingyu City all seemed to regret it. I knew that Peng Feng was so easy to speak, so they followed. Now, it's too late to regret it. Many people secretly warned themselves that in the future, if they want to get benefits, they must actively follow Xu Xingxia's actions.

Military families with children serving in Niujiaodun further strengthened their sense of loyalty to Xu Xingxia. They all knew very well that the money and food that could be distributed in full this time was because of Xu Xingxia's methods. If it had been someone else, it would not have been possible to have such a perfect result. If you can't get it right, you have to take your own life into it. If you want your son to live well, you must keep up with Xu Xingxia's pace, and you can't miss a single step.

These days, outside Niujiaodun, there are many family members of soldiers, and they are secretly telling their children to listen to Xu Xingxia's words, to actively support Xu Xingxia's actions, and not to fall behind others. In a word, it is necessary to strive to become Xu Xingxia's henchman in order to get more benefits.

"Everybody keep training."

Xu Xingxia didn't care about Peng Feng's reaction, and no matter what the military households in Weizhenbao thought, after returning to Niujiaodun, he immediately took the troops and continued to carry out training. The subjects of training are mainly mounted archery, and there are some basic hand-to-hand combat skills. Xu Xingxia did not require his soldiers to be able to confront the Tartar cavalry for the time being, but at least they had to be able to confront Peng Feng's armed family. If Peng Feng really wants to use force, he can easily defeat the other party.

Ningxia Town, a chaotic place, to put it bluntly, is whoever has the biggest fist is the boss. Since Bibai launched the rebellion, Ningxia Town has been full of chaos and undercurrents, and there are many things that are not as simple as they seem on the surface. Even the imperial court is also more taboo about Ningxia Town. Fortunately, Ningxia Town is not a small place, and it is located in the northwest border, so it cannot have a fatal impact on the whole country, so the upper authorities did not spend much effort on politics.

In the wilderness around the horn pier, there is a training ground. Xu Xingxia found a training ground in the east-west direction to the north of Niujiaodun. The west side extends to the foot of Helan Mountain, and the east side extends to the edge of the Yellow River, spanning sixty or seventy miles from east to west. In this training ground, mounted archery training is carried out, and the war horse does not need to turn at all.

On both sides of the training ground, scarecrows were erected one after another. These scarecrows are the targets of mounted shooting. The cavalry of the horned pier continued to sweep their horses and shoot arrows at the scarecrow. Some scarecrows have several arrows inserted into them. Some of the arrowheads, due to their weight, had fallen from the scarecrow's body and lay on the scarecrow's sideways.

The equipment that Xu Xingxia paid for before has been sent to Niujiaodun one after another. Now all the beds are full. Not counting those soldiers who specialize in logistics, Xu Xingxia's subordinates have a total of thirty-three cavalrymen, including Zhenfu Yu Lijun, General Banner Zhang Quanfu, Xiaoqi Gao Meng and others. Except for a few people such as Gao Meng and Liu Chuang, the others are all good at riding and shooting, much more powerful than ordinary Ming soldiers.

Of course, with their current level, there is still a distance to face to face with the Tartar cavalry, so Xu Xingxia asked them to focus on training their own cavalry and archery skills. Every day, they were called up by Xu Xingxia and started a day of brutal training. In addition to eating and sleeping, they are all in training. Xu Xingxia himself personally supervised outside the training ground, and did not give anyone a chance to be lazy at all.

According to the customary rules, the war horses of the Tartars are all owned by the meritorious service, so the number of war horses in Niujiaodun is still quite large, there are hundreds. Xu Xingxia got more than 60 war horses to Niujiaodun, and the remaining war horses continued to be stored in Weizhen Fort. Each soldier of Niujiaodun has two war horses, which can be trained in rotation. This is Xu Xingxia's training method, and everyone must be tossed until they are exhausted. Of course, if you can't support it, you can quit and leave!

At night, when the wilderness was pitch black and it was impossible to practice riding and archery, Xu Xingxia led everyone to practice strength and endurance. The main ways of training are stone locks, pull-ups, push-ups, long-distance running, wrestling, etc. These are the most basic training methods, and they are completely copied from the training system of later generations. In general, the training results are still good, and basically everyone's potential is squeezed out. When they went to bed at night, most of the soldiers, as soon as they lay down on the bed, fell asleep with a snort.

In the absence of the arrival of the Tartars, the life of the Ox Horn Dun soldiers is absolutely boring. From the moment they open their eyes every day, it's training, training, continuous training until their eyes are closed. In the process, they are like robots, constantly repeating monotonous movements, with almost no consciousness of their own. Slowly, they all began to become numb, as long as Xu Xingxia made a gesture, they would jump up and hurriedly devote themselves to training.

In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was not born so poor. The most fundamental reason is the lack of training. How can a soldier who has not undergone rigorous training develop combat effectiveness? Of course, there are many reasons for the lack of training, some subjective and some objective, and Xu Xingxia does not want to analyze them one by one. What he has to do now is to re-grasp the training, grasp it relentlessly, and let his small unit form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

"Here comes the money!"

"Here comes our money!"

Three days later, Xu Xingxia's trouble-making action had the effect of a substantial surname. Sure enough, all their money and food were distributed according to the prescribed amount. Peng Feng also sent a general flag to escort it to Niujiaodun. Obviously, he can't be escorted to Weizhenbao, otherwise, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people of Weizhenbao, and maybe there will be a larger-scale wage action. A bull horn pier has already made Peng Feng feel very big, if he adds a Weizhen Fort, he will definitely be unbearable.
