Whenever I think of the general's sad face, I feel much better than I am now, and the thirteenth battalion is enough. Even those veterans gave a few hundred more people, and they thought that as long as there were people, the thirteenth battalion would soon become a strong army. Instead of increasing their combat strength, the extra few hundred men became a burden on the thirteenth battalion. At one time, less than 3,000 people were given rations, and that small ration had to feed more than 3,000 people. For a period of time, Zhang Han was not in the army, and led dozens of people to hunt in the mountains.

What is surprising is that some Orion handed over the statement to Fenyang, and was reprimanded by his top boss Chen Geng. Zhou Yan led six hundred crossbowmen to hunt everywhere, hoping to bring back more prey, and it was best to leave some rations for the next month.

Suddenly, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and the harsh sunlight shone in. Liu Zhixing slowly opened his eyes, and an old man in a linen dress walked in. Liu Zhixing still looked lazy, looked up and said, "Chen Shuai, you are here." ”

Which soldier of the Changfeng Army and even the entire Daliang Beijing saw that the old man was not allowed to get up and march to salute, but Liu Zhixing was like this. The young man behind Chen Geng immediately became angry and said, "Liu Zhixing didn't get up when he saw the big handsome. ”

Still leaning on the wooden chair, he said lightly: "As long as you give me food and weapons, don't say salute, I will kneel down for you." The man was stunned.

Within half a year, the commander of the Changfeng Army regarded Liu Zhixing as a madman, and Liang Bo was the tattered king. The atmosphere in the army was also filthy, and the cavalry did not go to ride but had to run on their own, or sit on wooden horses and jump. The spearmen picked up sticks every day, and the archers seemed to only practice arm strength. Two hundred soldiers did not know where to hide, only appeared when the supplies were distributed, and each time they had to grab more. Now there is a rule in the army, any camp tent can be picked up by yourself, but the thirteenth battalion will have someone to send it.

Chen Geng waved his hand and said, "Where the people of the thirteenth battalion go, you are alone in the entire camp." ”

Liu Zhixing got up and said, "It's all out, you can't practice in the camp every day." By the way, Dashuai, you said that you can find a powerful boxer for the kid, so that you can eat. In the future, as long as the armor and food are gone, the thirteenth battalion will also change its name to the Divine Fist Battalion, you say it's okay. ”

With a bitter face and didn't know what to say, the guard man felt that Liu Zhixing was crazy. There are no boxers on the battlefield, and there are a few people who can break armor with their fists. If more than 3,000 people go to the battlefield with their bare hands, I don't know if the enemy will feel magnificent or stupid.

Chen Geng said: "Don't let Zhang Han go hunting in the nearby mountains, more than one Orion has come all the way to Fenyang to say that your thirteenth battalion has to clean up the animals on a mountain." Not to mention rabbits and pheasants, you even have to eat the tigers in the mountains. ”

Liu Zhixing, who was already a broken jar, said: "If you don't hunt, soldiers train hungry, and when you go to the battlefield, you will be sent to death." As the Lord will be the loser for them, my soldiers can be beaten to death and must not starve to death. ”

In order to eat in one bite, Liu Zhixing turned into this appearance, and a few months ago he was holding a small pot of wine. took more than 300 people to the General's Mansion, and it was just noon when I entered the General's Mansion. Without saying a word, he sat down at the table, grabbed a pair of chopsticks and started eating. The more than 300 people who were familiar with the way went to the back kitchen, and even ate with the belly support that everyone ate at the end.

More than 300 people stood at the door of the kitchen for a meal, and it was even more shameful to eat and take it with dinner. Even the food stored in the kitchen was thrown on the horse, and the entire general's mansion was hungry all night, and even the cooks didn't have a chance to eat a bite. The last small pot of wine has to be brought back, according to Liu Zhixing's words, you can't drink alcohol in the army, and if you make a mistake, you have to correct your mistake, but you can't let the marshal break the ban.

Chen Geng suddenly asked, "Where did Zhang Han go?" ”

Liu Zhixing said: "Let Hanlin take him to the border to see if there are any Chu army scouts appear." Chen Geng breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly: "That's good." ”

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhixing said lightly: "I don't know if I can get a few good horses and knives back." ”

was so scared that Chen Geng almost slapped the table, and the matter of hunting had not been solved before he went to fight the autumn wind. Obviously, it is not to inspect the border, how can there be more than 1,000 people to inspect the border, it is clearly to snatch the war horses and swords of the Nanchu scouts. I have a feeling that Liu Zhixing, this kid, is really crazy, and he personally led him to inspect the nearby horse farm. After that, there were more than a dozen war horses missing from the horse farms of several nearby camps, and Liu Zhixing still talked nonsense. When he saw a large group of horses running around, he caught them for fear of disturbing the local people, and many of them ran away.

During that time, several generals did not go to the official document, but went to Fenyang in person. Chen Geng had to make up for it from somewhere else, and now he can't catch Ma You's scouts who are eyeing Nanchu. I really don't know what is in my head, and I went hunting without food to cause accusations from the local people. The war horses are not strong enough, and the war horses in some military camps are good to say, and now they are actually eyeing the Nanchu scouts. No wonder there are no scouts near the thirteenth battalion now, I am afraid that many Nanchu scouts have been poisoned.

"This is the first time?" he asked. ”

Liu Zhixing said: "It's only ten times, and his mother's Nan Chu doesn't have the courage to come like this." Hanlin still has to run to the kamikaze camp, and he doesn't know how many days it will take to come back. ”

Chen Geng stared at Liu Zhixing fiercely and said, "Let your people settle down, don't do this in the future." ”

finally smiled and said: "Da Shuai is fine, as long as he meets a person who can't run a horse." The kid is not stupid enough to wander around, and the three hundred miles around are all randomly divided, and wherever he goes, it counts. ”

I really didn't know what to say about the old handsome, and suddenly thought of several other troops. Asked, "So where did the others go?" ”

"I asked Liang Bo to go and see if there was anything useless in the kamikaze camp, Zhang Xing and Liu Qing probably went to the river with sticks to practice, and got some fish by the way. Zhou Yan took the archers from Zhao Chaokun to the distant mountains, practiced the head, and got a few good skins to send to the marshal in a few days. ”

Chen Geng, who was in a hurry, was almost about to make a move, and he was relieved to hear that Zhang Han didn't go hunting. What I heard was something even more distressing, and it was even more annoying to hunt without hunting. How could there be a war horse patrolling the border for a team of more than a dozen people, and the army practiced bows and arrows instead of targets, and actually went to the mountains to hunt. At the beginning, it was only Zhang Han with dozens of people, sometimes hundreds, but now all six hundred crossbowmen have gone up the mountain. It seems that he is unwilling not to clean up the prey on the nearby hills, so it is no wonder that the wolf howl can not be heard near Fenyang at night. I'm afraid that the mountain is also patronized by the Thirteenth Battalion, where did this kid come from so twists and turns.

Hurriedly said: "Six hundred archers go up the mountain, you are not willing to fight the mountain cleanly." ”

Liu Zhixing said with a smile: "No, they have experience, and the younger ones will be released." Otherwise, where will there be food to eat in the future, and there will be more meat when you grow up. In the current situation, we can't eat all the rations in the future just because the small meat is tender and delicious. ”

The head of the story is that this time I am afraid of causing the local people to write to the local government, and I feel that this time it is not in vain. Three months ago, he ordered that he should not bring troops into the city, and Liu Zhixing did not go to Fenyang once in the past three months. I didn't expect that there would be many things I didn't know, and suddenly said: "Then you tell Ben Shuai what he said in March that I don't know." ”

Liu Zhixing was stunned for a moment and said unabashedly: "That is, I said before hunting, go to the border to get a few horses, go to the river to catch fish, and by the way, see what herbs are valuable, get some money back to buy some money to subsidize military supplies." ”

Chen Dashuai suddenly thought of what he said before and sent a few good skins and said: "Where have all those skins gone, there are still hundreds of people who can eat them after hunting regularly, and where have the herbs on the fish mountain in the rivers gone." ”

"Oh, these things. I sent them to the county seat and sold them for money, bought some iron, and found a few blacksmiths by the way to see if I could make some weapons. Those guys are too much to fight, especially since there are always not enough arrows for archers. War horses often run so far and have to get something good, people also have to eat better, can't eat meat often is not good for the body. Recently, I found a large stone that seems to be able to refine iron from it. There are hundreds of people who are smelting iron to see if they can make their own blades and arrows, otherwise it will be too expensive to buy iron and find someone. ”

Chen Geng exhaled heavily, always thinking that the thirteenth battalion was in distress, and as the commander, he couldn't let the soldiers go hungry. Unexpectedly, instead of being hungry, the 13th Battalion now not only eats better than other military tents, but also has to make its own iron to make weapons. Said: "Say it, and those things. ”

Feeling that it was too much, Liu Zhixing said: "Lu Lin has been practicing swords, and those more than fifty people are extremely good. Now I don't dare to say that it is one against a hundred, and it is still not a big problem to fight ten at a time. The 200 field soldiers of Zheng Shuixin and his brothers, after more than half a year of training, can cross a mountain in one night without riding horses, and they are the best sneak attack to defeat more troops with less. Hanlin didn't know where to get the training method, everyone had a short knife and a long knife, and the configuration of a strong crossbow was a good example. Walking in the mountains is like a flat river, and crossing a river is like a stream. He smiled lightly and said, "It's just an idea now, but you can still do it by crossing a bridge, crossing a river, climbing mountains and cliffs." ”

Hearing Liu Zhixing's words, Chen Geng didn't believe it, Lu Lin's fifty swords were probably possible with one dozen ten. Those 200 field soldiers really felt that they were talking nonsense, and the Changfeng Army and even this type of army in history had always been listed as useless. As long as it encounters a large-scale war, it is useless, and it is very similar to the role of scouts. Chen Geng didn't want to hear these questions at all now: "It's not these, let's talk about how many industries the thirteenth camp has now." ”

Liu Zhixing was stunned and said: "It's just a blacksmith shop, and at the same time build some farm tools with big weapons and sell them to the local people." From Nanchu, there are no things to sell some big beams, which can be regarded as an income. The scrap armor blades in the various camp tents can still be used and can be used to buy some money, and by the way, hundreds of acres of land have been planted, and there should be no relief next year. ”

Chen Geng didn't know whether to cry or laugh, the thirteenth battalion was almost self-sufficient in just half a year. Liang Bo's tattered king has a great reputation, and the major generals have always regarded it as a joke. Who knows how much money people make on this, jokes that people hunt without blades, but they know that they have their own arsenal and an iron mine.

Suddenly, he said: "You have mined iron ore without permission, and you don't know that you have committed a felony." ”

Liu Zhixing said: "What's the matter, as soon as I found Hanlin, I went to the official service to handle the paperwork. Except for a part of the fine iron to make the blade, the rest is mined by the government. A lot of the prey was also given to local hunters, and the provincial people were injured by wolves, tigers and leopards. Those tigers and wolves are the best prey, but the meat is a little untasty. ”

"How much money there is."

"There are about 30,000 taels of silver, and if you carefully calculate the assets, there should be 100,000."

As the commander of the Chinese army, Chen Geng felt that he was really poor for the first time, and if Liu Zhixing was a businessman, I was afraid that all the money in the world would go into my hands. I am afraid that except for the blacksmith shop and Nanchu business, everything else is in line with the rules of the army. Only 300 acres of land made Chen Geng cry and laugh, how could anyone be a soldier to farm.

Chen Geng said: "From now on, your blacksmith shop will be collected by the army, as for the 300 acres of land, don't go to plant, just distribute it to the local tenants and collect less rent to eat the army." As for Nanchu's business, don't do it, I will try to do as much as possible for you in the future. ”

Seeing Chen Geng get up, Liu Zhixing didn't say no, but looked very relaxed. It is enough for these things to upgrade the armament, and in the long run, I am afraid that some people will say that they want to rebel. What is missing now is arrows, war horses, and spears, and the consumption of these three things is too great. said secretly: "Uncle Chen, look at the weapons built by the engineer battalion, can you let the thirteenth battalion pick them first." ”

Chen Geng said fiercely: "It's good to give you a good follow-up, don't get an inch." Liu Zhixing smiled slightly and understood that there are still benefits, after all, it is not a small industry. As for Nanchu's business, it is better to find a few trustworthy businessmen to do it, and it is good to be a behind-the-scenes boss, this is an industry that the thirteenth battalion has managed to build with great difficulty, and it cannot be treated badly to the brothers.

When he walked outside the tent at noon, Liu Zhixing said: "Have you brought anything to eat, you are all hungry." ”

Chen Geng, who had just been shocked, turned his head to look, and Liu Zhixing suddenly saw three carts of grain. Chen Geng was about to give the order to pull back, but Liu Zhixing suddenly climbed onto the grain cart and said: "The handsome is good, the soldiers who walked to the thirteenth battalion are bitter." ”

Chen Geng smiled and said: "Keep this food, don't do the matter of Nanjing, and hunting." Those who are soldiers should look like soldiers, and Liang Bo, a deputy general, should not do those things. Let Chu Hanlin put down the trivial matters, there is so much money and food that you don't need to calculate a grain of rice. ”

Liu Zhixing smiled faintly and said: "This is the last few times, if you don't train properly, you will be bandits." ”

Chen Geng said fiercely: "You still know, when Chu Hanlin comes back, he will go to Fenyang to complete the formalities of the engineer battalion." ”

Liu Zhixing said with a smile: "The thirteenth battalion is very short of horses, and now there are only four or five hundred war horses, can you give one or two thousand." ”

:I don't care about you.
