It is the spring when the grass grows and the warbler flies, the grass on the grassland grows taller again, and in the vicinity of Kaiping Town, there are now more than 30,000 nomadic people, who are a new ethnic group separated from the Tatars, the Manchus, who are divided into eight tribes and nomadic between Kaiping Town and Xuanhua Town.

Since the Tatars did not graze here, the water and grass here were very abundant, and because the Manchus were slaves of Jia Ke, they grazing here, not only were they not discriminated against by the officers and soldiers, but also received a certain degree of protection.

Now the life of the Manchus is much better than among the Tatars, at least they are well fed and clothed, and those who are willing to work even have some savings, the only problem is the lack of women.

Jia Ke did not let them go, this day under the leadership of Liu Yu, Jia Ke went to the Manchu Zhenghuangqi pasture to inspect, Jia Ke came to the Manchu people for the first time.

As soon as Jia Ke entered the tribe, all the people who knew Jia Ke's identity knelt on both sides of the road, and at the same time looked at Jia Ke with feverish eyes.

Kneeling at the front was the Dutong Jirigera of the Zhenghuang Banner, this guy has now fully evolved into Jia Ke's doglegs.

The purpose of Jia Ke's visit this time was mainly to understand the current survival situation and combat capability of the Manchurians. Although it was spring now, it was five or six months before the Tatars went south, and Jia Ke was now eager to concentrate every force against the Tatars.

Jia Ke entered the central tent of the Zhenghuang Banner, and he was not polite, and sat directly on the main seat in the center. And they were on both sides.

Jia Ke was the first to ask, "Jirigera, do you have enough livestock in the Yellow Banner?" Are there any extra horses? ”

Ji Zhigra immediately came out again, knelt on the ground and said, "Master, we have abundant livestock of all kinds in Zhenghuangqi, and our standard of living is much better than before. We have two more horses than before, and they are all newborn foals. In another year or two it will come in handy. "Their livestock and horses were all plundered by Jake in the last war, so they had plenty of horses and livestock.

Jia Ke asked again: "What's the difficulty?" If you can't solve it yourself, tell me. ”

"Master, if you want to say that it is difficult, there really is, our tribe is all big men, and now it is really a little difficult to manage, everyone wants to marry a daughter-in-law."

Jia Ke knew about this, and Liu Yu also reported it to him. But Jia Ke really has no way to solve it now. The only way is to wait until autumn, when he will go north to plunder the population.

Jia Ke was not ready to hide it from Ji Zhigra and said to him: "You let everyone endure for a few months, and wait until autumn. Let's go north, and then there will be enough women to send you a few daughters-in-law, I'm afraid you won't be able to cope with it by then. After speaking, he also laughed, he, the master, not only cares about eating and drinking, but now he also has to manage his wife.

Ji Zhigra said embarrassedly: "Master, I really caused you trouble. ”

After Jia Ke finished talking about these light-hearted topics, he turned the conversation around and asked, "Our place here is not far from your original tribe?" ”

As soon as Ji Zhigra heard Jia Ke ask this question, he immediately realized something, and immediately replied excitedly: "Master, it's not far away. Every year we go south for the winter, and it is only one or two hundred miles away from the original tribal gathering place. Master, I'll show you the way when the time comes. ”

Jia Ke said with satisfaction: "Very good, Jizhigla, you are a good minion. I'm not going to let you run for nothing, until you get to your old tribe. When the time comes, the woman of the tribal leader is up to you. ”

When Girigra heard this, it was even more beautiful to bubble. Their chief's daughter, Naren, was as beautiful as a celestial fairy, a hundred times more beautiful than his former mother-in-law. If he can go back this time, he must kill the enemy desperately so that his master can give Naren to him.

Jia Ke asked again: "Let's Xuanhua, how many tribes are there in the north of the two towns of Kaiping?" ”

Ji Riga said respectfully: "Master, in the north of our two towns, at least five or six large tribes and more than a dozen small tribes have gathered. These people all went south to spend the winter, and by the way, they robbed the winter supplies. ”

"Can you know exactly where they're stationed?"

"Master, there is no problem at all, we are in the yellow flag, and there are many people from these tribes, and we can lead the way when the time comes."

Jia Ke was satisfied, and asked casually: "Aren't they angry when we plundered their original tribe in the past?" ”

Ji Zhigela said indifferently: "Master, what is this? Isn't that how the prairie came from? And now we are not of the same race as them. Plundering alien races is a good time to strengthen ourselves. ”

Jia Ke was completely relieved at this time, he was actually not very relieved about these original Tatars and now Manchus. Therefore, he has placed a lot of secret agents in it, and he can know in advance what is going on in the Eight Banners.

Jia Ke then walked all the Manchu Eight Banners, so that these bannermen could know their masters. And Jia Ke's brainwashing effect is still very powerful, and now he has forgotten that he is a Tatar, and he is proud of being a Manchurian.

Jia Ke also watched the cavalry and archery drills of these people, and they really deserved to be a nation on horseback, and their talent on horseback was not at all comparable to the Han people born in the Central Plains. If it weren't for their poor equipment, their original Kaiping Town's army, even if they could defeat them, would have to pay a heavy price.

And Jia Ke equipped them this time, the horse bow of the Central Plains, the sharp saber, and the armor that was quite strong.

If they encountered the Tatars again, they could defeat an opponent two or three times their number at very little cost.

Now Jia Ke, if these Eight Banners soldiers are dispatched, more than 25,000 people can be mobilized. This is a very remarkable number at the border gates, and it is a number that can determine the victory or defeat of a war.

Jia Ke felt that as long as these people were in hand, plus the troops of Xuanhua and Kaiping two towns. In the Nine Sides, he is also a powerful figure.

After Jia Ke inspected the Eight Banners tribe, he inspected the 30,000 horses under the command of Kaiping Town, and these troops were completely established with his own soldiers as the backbone.

These men had 5,000 cavalry, 5,000 crossbowmen, and 20,000 Macedonian square soldiers, for a total of 30,000 troops.

These people were originally the elite soldiers of Xuanfu Town, otherwise they would not have survived in the harsh environment after being scattered by the Tatars. In the end, they were recruited by Jia Ke, saying that they were recruits because they had not been trained by Jia Ke's system, and that they were elites, because each of them had seen blood. Now, after systematic training, as long as you pull into the battlefield, you can fight a decisive battle with the enemy.

After visiting the 30,000 regular troops of Kaiping Town, Jia Ke held a large-scale exercise in a formation of 30,000 people on the grassland outside Kaiping. The purpose of this is to allow them to experience their respective positions in the war. Under what circumstances? How should it change? What should I do if I encounter an emergency? The effect of this drill is still good, although there are some minor problems. But there are no mistakes in the general direction.

Before the arrival of summer, Jia Ke basically patrolled back and forth between the Manchu Eight Banners and the regular army of Kaiping Town, and carefully assessed the combat strength of both sides. In the end, it was concluded that the well-equipped Manchu Eight Banners, with the regular army of Kaiping Town, in the event of a war. With the same number of people on both sides, I am afraid that both sides will lose.

Now these two troops are the two treasure swords in Jia Ke's hands.
