For ordinary soldiers, sometimes, in their eyes, not all those who ride horses are big shots, but how can these people not be big men standing there with guards with short guns around them.

When they see big people, they will always cast envious and awe-inspiring eyes, and some people even fantasize that one day they will be able to become famous and become officers from soldiers.

"It's got to be a big shot!"

Zhang Xiaoding's eyes fell on the man, silently muttering in his heart, but what he was talking about was not how big the big people were, after all, these big people were too far away from him. Compared with the big man himself, what he was thinking about was the mounts of the big man, those tall horses, even taller than ordinary Liaodong horses.

Zhang Xiaoding is a native of Henan, his ancestors are the horses of the Ming Dynasty, which are specialized in raising horses, and the horse households are the heaviest servants, not one of them, although I don't know how many years ago, the government will no longer send service to horse households, but after raising horses for more than 100 years, the Zhang family is indeed good at raising horses, and they also love horses and horses.

Although Zhang Xiaoding is an infantryman, it does not prevent him from liking horses, and even after learning about the treatment of retired military households from the veterans, he started to think - if he divides more than one or two hundred acres of land in the future, he will raise a group of Liaodong horses.

From the first time he saw Liaodong horses in the army, he was fascinated by these high-headed horses, but he was an infantryman, in fact, his riding skills were very good, but he never had the opportunity to ride a war horse. After all, he used to be just an ant and a starving soldier in the army.

Such a horse must be worth a lot of money!

Zhang Xiaoding thought to himself.

Almost every time, Zhang Xiaoding imagines the future days in his heart - raising more than a dozen horses, planting a piece of land, and then his wife and children will live a peaceful life like this.

Past? He didn't dare to think? He didn't know that he would die in the siege that day, and now he dared to think about it? Except because he went from a "thief" to an officer? What's more, the prison country is really not thin on the big guys.

Veterans military households!

As long as you are retired? Are they just veterans who don't pay for food? Even if it takes a month of military training every year? But compared to the more than 100 acres of land allocated to the military households, all this is not worth mentioning, of course, this does not mean the end? In the future, his son will continue to serve as a soldier.

What's so about it?

At least for generations to get an undue job? The only thing that makes people feel extremely uncomfortable is that the land of the military household cannot be distributed to the second son, otherwise once it is discovered, not only will the military land be distributed, but will also be delisted? Actually, can you understand it when you think about it? After all, that piece of land was given by the emperor to the military households? It is equal to the salary of a soldier, and the second son is not a soldier? Nature cannot be inherited.

Right now? Zhang Xiaoding can't think about it so much? He has only one wish in his heart, which is to earn a family business with his military exploits, as for his son...... I don't have a wife, so what a son!

When the time comes, the old Zhang family will be able to flourish again!

……

Several armies were gathering towards Baoding, and outside Baoding City, there were Shun troops digging long trenches and "recruited" people everywhere, and even the trees in Fangyuan for dozens of miles were cut down, and the canopy branches were buried in front and behind the long ditch to act as a deer to block the enemy. As for the trunk, it served as a wooden beam for the anti-gun shelter.

"This must be covered with at least three feet of soil, at least so thick that it can block the flowering bullets of the Ming army......"

Although he felt the contempt of the eyes around him, standing on the top of the long trench, Charlie Cao still taught the Shun army how to build an anti-artillery shed as if he didn't see it.

"Blossom bomb, blossom bomb, what do you always say about blossom bomb, how powerful can this blossom bomb be?"

Looking at the ridicule of Wang Liyun, the general of the Shun army, next to him, Charlie Cao said.

"Anyway, it's more powerful than the flowering bomb I brought, the flowering bomb we made can only explode dozens of pieces of iron at most, but the flowering bomb of the Ming army not only explodes when it lands, but also can collapse hundreds of fragments, and come with one shot, if you just stand here like this, maybe hundreds of people will be blown up......"

Although it is a bit exaggerated, this is also a blood experience!

This is the experience that the Qing Dynasty used to exchange for an unknown number of lives and blood, even in the grassland, in the Western Regions, the Baturu of the Eight Banners used stone guns and flowering bullets to beat those Mongols to the north, conquer the city, and be invincible. But from top to bottom in the Great Qing Kingdom, a few people have forgotten the tragic situation of being bombed by the Ming army, and thousands of Baturu were bombed at every turn.

The prince is like this, and the emperor in North Korea is not the same, even if he repaired the fortress, he was finally bombarded one by one, and he could only flee all the way overseas, if he hadn't restored contact a few months ago, I'm afraid that even the emperor would not know whether he was alive or dead.

The artillery fire of the Ming army is terrible!

Whoever has been beaten knows about this.

These people have obviously not been beaten, how do they know how powerful the daimyo is.

"It's so powerful......"

Before Wang Liyun finished speaking, he heard someone reprimanded him on the side.

"Nonsense, do what Mr. Cao said, the artillery fire of the Ming army is powerful, what he says, just give Lao Tzu what it is, if you talk nonsense, be careful that Lao Tzu will directly peel your skin!"

Without looking back, Wang Liyun's face changed, and when he turned around, his face was already full of smiles. The man who came over like an iron tower was none other than Hao Shaoqi.

"Hao Ye, why are you here, don't worry, the little one must repair the long ditch according to Mr. Cao's instructions, and let the Ming army come and go."

Wang Liyun, who was smiling all over his face, dared to say anything more, and if he said it again, maybe Hao Ye's whip would hit him.

There are a few old battalion soldiers in Dashun who don't know, and Hao Ye has a short temper. But even so, Hao Ye is easy to deal with, as long as he says a few nice words, he will laugh.

"It's good that you kid know, let me tell you, although these Tartars are not anything, but they have also been beaten in Liaodong, they are all good at that, these Tartars teach us to repair these things, to put it bluntly, they just want us to fight with the Ming army to break the net, and then they will be good fishermen. You say yes or no. ”

Hao Shaoqi stared at Charlie Cao and asked, when he asked like this, Charlie Cao was speechless for a while, just stood there and smiled awkwardly, but Wang Liyun said.

"How can those Dazi's flowery intestines be hidden from Hao Ye's fiery eyes, you can see the little flowery intestines of the Tartar when you are worried, Hao Ye really deserves to be Hao Ye'......"
