On the one hand, the Naihiko tribe and the Tokhtar tribe have become inseparable because of the revenge of their father, and on the other hand, the elders have begun to encroach on the Mongolian land in full swing and mercilessly, and various gentle ways have made it extremely popular for those tribesmen to abandon their original life forms and join the arms of the elders.

The first thing Hu Sanqi learned was to ride a horse, which is a new experience, there are a few Mongolians in the team, but they are proficient in this matter, patrolling on the grassland, no matter how good the car is, it can't withstand the toss, that is not high-tech can be solved, huge costs, and uncontrollable situations, after calculating various inputs and outputs, the railway detachment chose the most cost-effective vehicle, horse.

War horses are delicate.

Many people think that horses eat grass, but they don't understand that to really accumulate strength, these horses need to be supplemented, how can they only eat grass, the best carbohydrates, the best supplements, that are essential, and under the excellent breeding system, it is natural to need a huge system to calculate.

In later generations, studying the pedigree of thoroughbred horses was almost a doctoral student's thesis-level job.

As for what epidemics, the maintenance, the wages of the horse breeders, the internal inspection to prevent theft, in fact, in terms of cost, the cost of feeding a cavalry division is about the same as feeding a tank battalion.

Fortunately, the need for this detachment did not last much, and it was much easier to obtain horses than in later generations, and in this era, before the slaughter of the trading city, good horses could still be found in the steppe, and there were not always only the dwarf Mongolian horses.

In the case of horses, they have experienced epidemics and various extreme tests, and have experienced rain and wind after crossbreeding, so they can be said to be good breeds, which is why good horses in history basically appeared on the front line of war, when the first people found that wild horses can be domesticated, they soon found that this thing can be used for war purposes.

A good horse is equivalent to a sports car in later generations at this time, in fact, in terms of money, it is indeed the case, whether it is the sweat and blood horse of the Han Dynasty or the Zhaoling Six Horses of the Tang Dynasty, they are all products of this culture.

Fortunately, most of them are from a poor background, even if they have never seen a horse, they have basically served cattle, although it is impossible to compare with those elites, but the position that the elders will give them is dragoons itself.

The dragoons were certainly not the legendary knights of the fantasy story of riding on dragons with magical powers, but a kind of mounted motorized infantry, basically musketeers on horseback for mobile combat, so they quickly approached, then jumped off their horses, and reformed a skirmish, which was basically impossible for the cavalry of the same era to deal with their Mauser rifles.

The squad that Hu Sanqi joined were all veterans, which was also a tradition in the army to bring the old with the new, and it took a day to barely make it possible to ride on a horse without being thrown off, and it was uncomfortable to carry a lot of things on this horse.

There were a lot of war horses assigned to the railway detachment, and Hu Sanqi got two horses that were not very tall, but they adopted a rotation system, that is, one horse was ridden out on patrol, and the other was handed over to the brothers who stayed behind in rotation to raise and supplement, Hu Sanqi was taught to feed the horses and wash them as much as possible, in order to establish contact with these strong creatures.

But that's not what Hu Sanqi wants!

He originally thought that he would stay in the imperial capital, and then become the person who specially took care of the homes of these elders, and finally found an opportunity to kill all these enemies.

But now it's not possible.

When I arrived at the edge of this grassland, my daily task was to go north, and I still couldn't see people in the vast grassland.

It's a mistake to say that you can't see people, but it's just some tribesmen.

"Be careful, take a good look at that chick."

Hina said that Hu Sanqi, only stayed in the new army for three days, barely learned to ride a horse, Hu Sanqi was driven to the duck on the shelf to patrol, this will take several days, about a hundred people, naturally is vast, marching is a science, not a brain to go forward, the team is divided into several parts, the ninth squadron has five carriages, which are naturally loaded with supply ammunition, and the cars are naturally old-fashioned

Hu Sanqi, as a reserve, followed by the carriage to protect at any time, and the further north he went, the fewer traces of human existence and the more green grass there became.

Before he arrived at the new unit, he was given a lot of equipment, including a pair of windproof goggles, two sets of summer clothes, a winter coat, a brand new Mauser rifle, and leather boots and other chicken bits and pieces.

"Hinata, are you going to the kiln to soak in the kiln, that's not the Qingqi people in the Qinglou, you will stick it upside down if you look handsome, but it depends on whether you are big enough and rich enough."

Although the people in the class didn't dare to bully the recruits, or learn from my great wisdom and wisdom to extend the claws to the recruits' backyard flowers, it is naturally normal for a vulgar man to laugh a few words.

A large group of people laughed presumptuously, and Hu Sanqi's face was hot.

The squadron leader (company commander) ran over and ordered Hu Sanqi to take off all the chickens and dogs all over his body, put on an ordinary training uniform, and set off with the troops......

The scope of their patrol this time was not large, as far as the city of Glejurgen, and later Hu Sanqi learned that fighting on the steppe, mobility first, protection second, the mobility of nomads is really strong, only cavalry can deal with cavalry!

In peacetime operations, physical strength is the key, it is good to preserve physical strength and fight at any time, anyway, the purpose of the squadron is not to fight but to patrol, looking for thorns, finding a sense of presence is the most important thing.

Brush the sense of existence naturally does not need to be really on guard at any time to engage in nervousness, Hu Sanqi changed into light clothes, but it is imagined that in the past days, how those Jurchen soldiers and Mongolian soldiers burned and looted in Shandong, if they encountered a large group of enemies, how could their team of hundreds of people be opponents?

For the Mongolian land outside their control in the north, the elders did not relax for a moment, reconnaissance, espionage, lobbying, coercion, inducement and even using knives, but the movement was not large, and the elders still hoped that these people would guide them to a more correct path, so they were very warm and kind, and did not arouse everyone's strong attention.

It is not easy to march in the grassland, the so-called three elements of heaven, earth and man, the north is vast, and the world is unlimited! Foreign people live relatively scattered, moving around, it is not easy to find, the weather is changeable, and you will change your face from time to time!

When the spring flowers are blooming, the spring is bright, will it be said that it is a good time to do things? Stay! The grass is growing, the leaves are juicy, and damp, if the livestock is greedy, it often leads to diarrhea, the consequences are serious, and sometimes in the grass, it rains a lot, it is easy to have all kinds of potholes, and there is no shadow when you step on it.

Not to mention the winter, the white-haired wind together, the exposed livestock are all finished, and the people themselves don't want to stay at home longer, thinking of the warm places in the south to spend the winter.

Only summer and autumn can enter the army, and it depends on God's face, sometimes summer comes in a hurry, a short flash, autumn is the golden season, but if winter comes early, the military operation will only end. Waiting for the north wind to come together, the soles of the troops are oiled, and they can run as fast as they can.

With the hard power of the elder's army, it is not impossible to fight logistics, but due to environmental reasons, the casualties are too large and the cost is too high.

Again, the future sources of wealth, trade routes, and the future of the new colonies are in the Americas, in Southeast Asia, not simply China.

The front width of a squadron's advance is about three to five miles, and communication will be carried out through whistles during this period, which is very hard work, trying to maintain the direction of the horses' walking, and always keeping an eye on the movements in all directions.

There were herds of wild beasts on the road, all kinds of them, wild horses, wild asses, wild camels, yellow sheep, wolves, foxes, ferrets, eagles, ospreys, ...... The constant infestation made the other GIs itch their hands, but as an active army, the wild animals could not be said to be clean this time without a sanitary permit, so they were forbidden to eat and hunt, of course, if they were stationed and had good cooking tools, they were allowed to hunt.

The rhythm of blowing the whistle is carried out in accordance with the "Morse code" taught above, of course, there are only a few kinds that Hu Sanqi can come into contact with, three short and three long and then three short, that is, there is a situation that needs support.

The squadron leader was only followed by two squads, and each squad found out the man who could catch the car, but seeing this situation, he waved his hand, and Hu Sanqi's squad was also sent out, running towards the position where the whistle came from in front of the left.

Hu Sanqi's equestrian skills were the worst, but he barely followed behind, and the squadron leader blew the whistle himself, asking everyone to gather at him.

Imagine what kind of enemy it is, even if the people behind him come over, it is only a hundred people, and the direction he goes to is only two squads, such a small number of people, how can they be the opponents of the enemy.

He grabbed the rifle in his hand, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something, and he got closer and closer to the front, but there were many white dots, but after passing a grassy slope, Hu Sanqi suddenly became enlightened.

In front is the flock of sheep.

A large flock of sheep, the specific number Hu Sanqi is innumerable, but in terms of area, there are at least two or three acres of land, densely walked, almost no gaps, there are more than a dozen Mongolian men driving the sheep, but seeing the neatly equipped and fully armed troops killed, they were so frightened that they did not dare to move.

Seeing this situation, Hu Sanqi was sent back to report to the squadron leader, and he stumbled and said to the squadron leader, what kind of sheep, Mongolians, he naturally understands.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many Mongols working in Han China, and the elders naturally treated them equally after carrying out class education, and these people were obviously good as soldiers, and even if they were mixed, it was also excellent to immigrate to the newly conquered provinces of North America or Southeast Asia.

There were also three Mongols in this squadron, and at this time they were called over to deal with the affairs of these people.

The squad leader muttered there, "This Mongolia now has money to raise sheep, those merchants buy wool and mutton everywhere, don't look at the miserable clothes of these Mongolians, if these sheep are sold, together with the wool and mutton and sheepskin, they can be worth at least a thousand taels of silver." ”

Thousands of taels! Hu Sanqi remembered that his military salary was only five taels a month, that is, fifty yuan, and he really felt short of breath.

"This is the output of a tribe, and it is likely that it may not be able to slaughter much in a year, so if you want to talk about a good life, you should be a soldier."

With such an explanation, the person is comfortable.

A few Mongolian soldiers asked if there was any new situation in the past few days, said a few words, and let the Mongols who drove the sheep to get rich let them leave, since the first few fierce battles with horse thieves and some guys who did not admit defeat, everyone knew that these Han people who did not wear iron armor and killed people with firearms were not easy to provoke.

These sheep will be driven to a place in Zhangjiakou for trade, at this time a large number of cheap good things can enter Mongolia in large quantities, whether it is tea bags, gas lamps or all kinds of good things are not expensive, and even all kinds of wool fabrics have become the choice of ordinary herdsmen along with homespun cloth and silk.

At present, the imperial capital only hates the poor survival ability of these herdsmen, and the wool produced cannot meet their strong needs in terms of quality or quantity.

Compared with the English plains in the United Kingdom, which is suitable for sheep raising, Mongolia is not suitable for classical breeding, and it is still necessary to export technology in the future, and the natural choice of Australia and New Zealand is naturally in the plan.

In the education of the elders, the Mongols should be greatly encouraged to raise sheep, and in any case, their ability to resist natural disasters such as wind and snow disasters should be greatly enhanced, which is also a good thing.

Sending the man who was driving the sheep away, and continuing to hurry, the surroundings once again became a place where there was no one and no sound, of course, after a few miles, you can actually see that there are yurts, and they are all waving a red flag, which are all related to the elders.

During the lunch break, it was in a temporary resting place, by the river, but there was no shortage of firewood nearby, so I picked up all kinds of firewood, dug a pit and lit a fire for cooking.

According to the marching manual, the water was basically undrinkable without boiling, but fortunately they brought a large cauldron, although the number of people was more than 100, it could cope with a large bowl of soup per person.

The water was taken from the river, boiled over a fire, filtered out of impurities, and then a whole box of "soup treasures" was thrown in, which was strange to say, and soon turned into a thick pot of fatty soup, with meat and other flavors that lingered on the lips.

Eating the biscuits, although it is simple, but after drinking it, everyone's stomach feels very hot, and after resting for a while, they have recovered their strength, and they are much more comfortable.

The squadron leader was constantly chatting with several squad leaders, discussing the few passers-by and merchants he had encountered, as well as the recent progress of the war on the steppe that he had heard from them.
