【Chapter 024】I want the horses to run again, and I want the horses not to eat grass
(0024)
[Today's seventh shift is delivered!] 】
"Xu Xingxia!"
Yu Lijun shouted loudly.
Finally, it was the turn of the biggest hero, Xu Xingxia, to come up to receive the reward, and in the eyes of everyone around, the eyes of envy became even thicker. More than two hundred taels of silver, the position of the general banner, can simply make people crazy. However, thinking of the murderous Tartar, the envy had to sigh quietly. The head of the Tartar is not easy to take!
Xu Xingxia came up steadily and took the heavy cloth bag from Peng Feng's hand. When he started, his hands sank slightly. In other words, two hundred and ten taels of silver is really a lot. Converted, that's more than 20 catties. Fortunately, now he has much more strength than before, so he doesn't feel any obstacles.
In addition to rewarding silver, more importantly, it is naturally promoted. There is a clear rule in the Imperial Military Department that as long as there are three levels of small soldiers, small flags and general flags, as long as there are three Tartar heads, they can be promoted to one level. Xu Xingxia has seven Tartar heads, which can be upgraded by two levels in a row. The confessional document about Xu Xingxia was prepared early in the morning.
Xu Xingxia was promoted to the general banner, and the thousand households themselves could call the shots. You only need to report to the guard, town, and military department for the record. In other words, with Peng Feng's decision, from now on, Xu Xingxia will be the general banner. As for the formal formalities, it is natural that someone from the department will handle it. Peng Feng immediately announced that Xu Xingxia would be promoted to the general banner.
"Thank you, Lord Chino, for cultivating!" Xu Xingxia bent down and saluted.
He suddenly felt that his tone was very similar to some movies and TV series in later generations? Fortunately, I don't need to kneel and salute, otherwise, I would really be a little unaccustomed to it. It's better to find a way to mix in as soon as possible and let others see you. However, it seems that even if he really has a chance to become a general in the future, there are still people in charge of his head...... Even if you are the chief military officer, someone will take care of it...... This seems a bit unpleasant!
Thinking of that big black head, Xu Xingxia was a little depressed. For the sake of his own future, he has offended the entire war system. This means that in the future, the suppression from the combat system will exist all the time. If you want to make more feats and get more upgrade capital, the contradictions with the soldiers will definitely be stimulated. When the time comes, I don't know what kind of means the soldiers will use to deal with themselves.
Peng Feng naturally didn't know Xu Xingxia's mood at this time, he was in a happy mood, and said to Xu Xingxia expectantly: "Xu Xingxia, the Tartar will definitely continue to come." My expectations for you are high. The future of the Peaceful Thousand Households still depends on you. I ask you, if the Tartars come back next time, will you still be able to kill them? ”
Xu Xingxia raised his head and said loudly: "Of course! As long as the Tartars pass by their subordinates, their subordinates will definitely make them pay a heavy price! ”
Peng Feng said appreciatively: "Okay! In the future, the task of guarding the horn pier will be handed over to you! From now on, you are the defender of the horn pier! Remember, Niujiaodun is the front line of the entire Ningxia Town's resistance to the Tartars, and you have to work hard to build more feats! ”
Xu Xingxia said with an awe-inspiring face: "The subordinates must live up to the high expectations of the thousand households. ”
His prediction was indeed not wrong. He was indeed left behind to guard the Niujiaodun and continue to guard the front line of Ningxia Town against the Tartars. Still, that's exactly what he needs. He needs a space for relative reading power in order to play his skills. At the same time, only by always being at the forefront of the fight against the Tartars can you have the opportunity to create more feats.
Since Xu Xingxia stayed, Chen Hai would naturally be transferred. He has three Tartar heads in his hands, and it is not a big problem to raise one level. After a brief discussion, Chen Hai was promoted to Zhenfu and transferred back to the Pingyu Institute to replace Yu Lijun, who was specifically responsible for the record of his military exploits. Yu Lijun is in charge of military discipline.
Next, it's about the distribution of loot. The first thing to deal with is the war horse of the Tartars. Ningxia Town itself has a well-developed animal husbandry and can produce a considerable number of war horses every year, so Ningxia Town is not very short of war horses. This is also the main reason why the Tartar War Horse is not counted in the rewards of Ningxia Town. These Tatar horses, after being registered as trophies, were returned to the soldiers of the Horn Pier.
As for the Tartars' bows and arrows, they cannot be returned, but must be handed over one by one. The bow and arrow of the Tartar are different from the bow and arrow of the Ming army, and those who have experience can see it at a glance. Eventually, these Tartar bows and arrows may serve as permanent proof of their military exploits. There are also Tartar clothes and leather armor, which must be handed in layer by layer, and finally preserved as a war exploit.
In this way, Niu Jiaodun will receive twenty-three war horses. This is exactly what Xu Xingxia needs. There is an advantage of this place in Ningxia Town, that is, adults and children, as long as they are men, almost all know how to ride horses. There are even quite a few women who are quite good at riding. Plug Jiangnan, first plug it, and then Jiangnan. Riding a horse from Weizhen Fort to Niujiaodun only takes a cup of tea, which is much faster than walking.
The soldiers of Niujiaodun are all good at riding, including the dead Liu Jinbiao, and their riding skills are quite good. If you don't have to fight on horseback, if you just ride a horse, there is no problem at all. In other words, as long as Xu Xingxia has enough money, he can completely convert all his subordinates from infantry to infantry on horseback. Well, note that it's an infantry on horseback, not a real cavalry!
Even if it was an infantry on horseback, Xu Xingxia was quite satisfied. Mounted infantry, mobility and primitive infantry were exactly two grades. In the past, the Tang Army's combat effectiveness was so strong, and the large number of war horses was a very important reason. During the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army almost had a war horse, and the road was carried out on horseback. One can imagine how strong such an army, with its ability to assault and move, will be.
If you equip your troops with powerful muskets, and then equip them with a large number of war horses, and strengthen their mobility capabilities, a force of 3,000 people can be used as 30,000 people. War horses are estimated to be the largest resource in Ningxia Town. If this resource is not used well, Xu Xingxia will despise himself.
As for the bow and arrow of the Tartars, Xu Xingxia is not rare. It's not that the Tartars' bows and arrows are bad, the main thing is that the horns themselves are not good archers at all. It turned out that Zhang Quanfu, who had the best level of archery, was still a little behind the Tatar cavalry. Besides, Zhang Quanfu has his own elm bow, and the quality is okay. As for the musket equipped by Niu Jiaodun, Xu Xingxia really couldn't believe it. Perhaps the Tatar cavalry did not hit, but was killed and wounded by the explosion.
This made Xu Xingxia feel quite stressed. The archery skills of the Tatar cavalry are so powerful, what kind of weapons do these soldiers under their command use, and how do they need to be trained to defeat the Tatar cavalry? For a while, Xu Xingxia was a little distracted. Purely in terms of physical fitness, the Ming army is indeed incomparable with the Tatars. In other words, it was quite difficult to defeat the Tatar cavalry with cold weapons.
If it is said that the role of the Niujiaodun is only as a tool for reporting the news, it only needs to ring the alarm bell and light the fire when the Tatar cavalry arrives, Xu Xingxia believes in his errand and has no pressure at all. However, Xu Xingxia's goal, of course, is not this. His aim was to kill more Tatar cavalry. Only in this way can we create more feats and get more opportunities for promotion.
However, the problem is that with the current strength of Niu Jiaodun, it is difficult to kill more Tatar cavalry! No matter how powerful his archery skills are, how many Tartars can he shoot? After thirty arrows were fired, he was basically out of strength. If there is no rest in between, there is simply no combat effectiveness. Besides, after arriving at the general banner, what the superiors should look at is the combat capability of the troops you lead, not your own martial arts.
Seriously, the musket technology at the end of the Ming Dynasty was already quite advanced. A good quality musket is no longer lethal at all. In the face of muskets, personal force is becoming less and less valued. What's more, in addition to muskets, there are cannons! No matter how brave Nurhachi is, hasn't he been killed by Yuan Chonghuan, who has no power to catch chickens? How can flesh and blood escape the bombardment of muskets and cannons?
Peng Feng didn't feel Xu Xingxia's pressure at all. He is accustomed to thinking that the errand of Niujiaodun is used to call the police. As for killing the Tartars, that's completely incidental. It was impossible for him to ask too much of Xu Xingxia, what he said just now was more of a hope. If you want it to happen, that's fine. If he can't, he won't be too disappointed.
After slowly calming down, Peng Feng began to feel that it was completely luck that Niu Jiaodun was able to kill so many Tartars this time. Maybe the Tatar cavalry that went south this time was the most rubbish and had no combat effectiveness, so they would take advantage of the defenders of Niujiaodun. Next time, Xu Xingxia may not have such a good opportunity. He glanced at Xu Xingxia and said casually: "Xu Xingxia, how many people are currently in the pier?" ”
Xu Xingxia replied cautiously: "Returning to the Thousand Households, Niujiaodun currently has one general flag, two small flags, and eight soldiers. ”
Peng Feng frowned and said, "Such a small number of troops is not enough!" ”
Xu Xingxia thought to himself, if your superiors don't distribute money and food, who wants to work here? If you want the horses to run and the horses don't eat grass, how can there be such a good thing in the world? People with a little ability have long run out. If you continue to go unpaid, maybe there will be even fewer people. Of course, these angry words cannot be spoken.
Peng Feng paused, and then said: "You have to find a way to replenish the troops as soon as possible." ”
Xu Xingxia thought to himself, isn't this deliberately embarrassing me? If your superiors don't pay you food, should I learn from one of the parties in the future and forcibly pull in the strong men? Even if you force it, it's useless. However, if there is really no way, I have to take this trick. After thinking about it, Xu Xingxia agreed sullenly.
