Chapter 5 Candidates for Cavalry Company Commanders
Buying a horse is actually very simple, every Mongolian herdsman has a horse, but some people regard horse raising as their main business, and some people regard sheep raising as their main business. Ren Laifeng is not familiar with how to buy horses, and he doesn't understand it, but Sichinbari is familiar with it.
Old Siqin, together with Bagan and Agoura, owed Ren Laifeng a total of 150,000 yuan, which was converted into 2,000 horses. It doesn't cost anything to buy a horse, and the money comes from the three of them: Shchinbarge, Bagan and Agoura.
The first batch of 80 Mongolian horses from the Bagen and Agoura tribes had already arrived, and Ren Laifeng formed the first Mongolian cavalry company directly under the Northeast Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column. The soldiers of the cavalry company were all selected from among the Mongol men of various divisions. The company commander of the cavalry company, Ren Laifeng took a fancy to Bayan.
This young man can ride a horse alone from Linxi County to Lao Ye Temple to move troops for help, and along the way he also found more than a dozen Mongolian tribes as early reinforcements.
When Ren Laifeng found Bayan and told him what he thought, the capable young man was taken aback, "General Ren, thank you for your attention." However, Bayan is a member of the Almu tribe, and the Chief's permission is required to join your troops. Go and talk to Lord Schinbarge, and if he agrees, I'll follow you at once!" ”
When Bayan said this, Ren Laifeng valued him even more. If he can be loyal to his tribe now, won't he be loyal to himself and his country in the future? How could such a loyal and capable general be spared? Ren Laifeng took two of his own soldiers and went to find Sichinbari.
"Old Siqin, I'll ask you for someone!" Ren Laifeng was not polite, and he made his words clear as soon as they met.
"Oh? Whose girl does General Ren have a crush on? Tell me, I'll do it! Si Qinbari agreed quite cheerfully, but what he said and Ren Laifeng's request were completely different and irrelevant.
"Phew! You old rascal! I'm telling you, General Ben won't be as shameless as you. I have a crush on Bayan from your clan, and I plan to make him my first cavalry company commander! What do you think? You're okay with that, right? "Ren Laifeng and Si Qinbari are talking more and more casually. The feeling of being a creditor in front of a debtor is pleasant.
"Bayan as a cavalry company commander?" Old Siqin looked surprised, but his surprise was obviously not the same as his joy.
"What, you don't agree?" Ren Laifeng's face was put down. Let your people be cavalry company commanders, how much face does that give you? You old guy don't want to give face, toast and don't eat and drink finely?
"No, no, no." Seeing that Ren Laifeng had a posture of turning his face, Si Qinbari quickly shook his head and said no, "I don't disagree!" But, General Ren, what do you think of Lakshen? I have been going to Lao Ye Temple for so many years, and the tribe has always been taken care of by Lakshin. When it comes to management, Rakshin is more experienced than Bayan. Of course, Bayan is certainly not bad. I'm just giving you a suggestion, and of course it's up to you to decide. ”
Lakshin? Ren Laifeng looked at Lao Siqin's expectant face, and his heart was the same as Spiegel. Old Siqin must have seen that the Almu tribe had already existed in name only, and the old guy wanted to find a way out for his son in the army. Being the commander of this cavalry company was clearly the best choice.
Ren Laifeng thought about Lao Siqin's suggestion, which was actually not unreasonable. Although he didn't know what Rakshen's ability was, since he could lead a tribe alone for many years, how could this person have some ability, right? Of course, Bayan must not let go!
"Well, if you are right, I will give the position of the commander of this cavalry company to Lakshin. Bayan, I want it too. Besides, your 2,000 horses are on hold for me! I'm also going to form a cavalry brigade, and if Lakshin performs well, maybe he can become a cavalry commander. Two thousand horses, you're in a hurry! ”
"Nineteen hundred and twenty!" Schimbarge learned mathematics quite well, and almost instantly he lost eighty horses.
"Lakshin's cavalry commander doesn't have to think about it, he plans to be a company commander for the rest of his life!"
Old Siqin's eyebrows immediately drooped, the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally reluctantly admitted the number of two thousand. But he still has a request, "Let Bayan be an assistant to Lakshin again?" ”
"You don't have to worry about this, what is Bayan doing is my business. All you have to do is remember to get me the horses together! Go and ask Lakshin and Bayan to come to the barracks tomorrow morning to find me. ”
After determining the candidate for the commander of the cavalry company, Ren Laifeng got out of the yurt and jumped on the big white horse in high spirits. As soon as his feet knocked the horse's belly, the big white horse immediately trotted up. It's a wonderful feeling to sit on the back of a big white horse that rises and falls slightly with the movement of the horse's body.
Ren Laifeng knew that there were eight horses in ancient times, but he didn't know what the names of the eight horses were. It seems that the names given to horses by the ancients are relatively obscure and not suitable for modern times. It's pure white, and it runs fast, so it's just called Flying Snow.
"Flying snow, flying snow." Ren Laifeng called the horse's name. The clever horse seemed to know that these two words belonged to it from now on, shook his head, and neighed in welcome.
Back at the camp, Feng Wenying and Yu Xiaoqian came over to help Ren Laifeng lead the horse. In the past, these two girls didn't have this hobby, but since they had the big white horse, the two of them had to come to see the white horse every day. Either feed it or bathe it. It's like a modern urbanite buying a new car, and the woman in the family wants to wipe it twice a day.
"Hey, don't keep feeding the snow, be careful of eating its stomach." Ren Laifeng saw that these two not only fed beans to the war horses, but also took goat's milk to give the horses to drink, so he hurriedly reminded them. You're not horse trainers, don't mess around!
"Blizzard? Is this your new name for it? It's so nice. Snow. Snow. Yu Xiaoqian barked a few times, and Feixue shook her head in agreement, which made the two girls love the horses even more. Seeing that the two women liked the appearance of horses, Ren Laifeng was also secretly proud.
There was a sudden commotion in the distance, and Ren Laifeng looked up to see that many people were running in one direction, what happened?
Feng Wenying pulled out the gun as soon as possible, and Ren Laifeng didn't stop her by looking at her. "Let's go, let's see what's going on over there." Leaving Feixue to be taken care of by the orderly, Ren Laifeng and the three of them ran to the accident site.
The place where the accident happened was not far from where he was, and they could just go there by running. When I went to the place, I saw that there was already a group of people around. Someone in the crowd was shouting, "Tie up, don't let him run." Don't hit, don't hit him! ”
