Chapter 15: Desperate Saburo Xu Changqing!
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight came into his eyes, and Xu Changqing instinctively opened his eyes.
The rain had already stopped, and the heat of midsummer was back in the air, Xu Changqing got dressed and simply washed his face before coming out to check the situation.
At this time, most of the people in the camp had not yet gotten up, except for the two people on duty, it was Ergou who had not slept all night and Zhao Zengjin, who had been accompanying Ergou and comforting him.
Seeing that Xu Changqing had only slept for less than an hour before getting up, Zhao Zengjin and Ergou hurriedly greeted him, "My lord." ”
Xu Changqing nodded and looked at Ergou.
Ergou had recovered a lot at this time, and said busily: "My lord, I, I'm fine!" You can rest assured, I will definitely redouble my efforts in the next practice, and I will never have the same situation as last night. ”
Xu Changqing smiled and nodded, "Ergou, I believe in you!" ”
"Adult ......"
After a brief chat, Xu Changqing looked at the tent where the young women lived, "How is the situation?" ”
Of course, Zhao Zengjin and Ergou understood what Xu Changqing meant, and Zhao Zengjin hurriedly said: "My lord, it's okay, they all took a bath and slept, and they were very quiet." ”
Xu Changqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and nodded: "They, let's settle here for the time being." Let the brothers be kind to them! Remember, who the hell dares to gossip or do that inauthentic thing, my Xu Changqing can tolerate him, but the knife in my Xu Changqing's hand can't accommodate him! Do you understand?! ”
"Well, it's ......"
Ergou and Zhao Zengjin were instantly frightened by Xu Changqing's momentum, and hurriedly nodded desperately.
The two people on night duty on the watchtower not far away were also frightened and silent, and they didn't dare to move.
They were still telling jokes that all men knew, but at this time, they didn't dare to say a word more.
Looking at the appearance of adults, if you really dare to mess around with those women, I'm afraid, you will really lose your head......
Let Ergou and Zhao Zengjin go back to rest, and Xu Changqing strolled through this small camp to check yesterday's harvest.
Although last night's operation was not an absolute success, that poor woman was tortured and killed by Tartars under her Xu Changqing's nose, but in other aspects, it was definitely a bumper harvest, which made Xu Changqing full at once and laid a solid foundation!
Not only did they obtain thousands of catties of grain and all kinds of meat, but they also seized eleven fine war horses, many weapons and armor, and seven or eight hundred taels of silver.
This is no longer a windfall, but a super windfall!
With these foundations in hand, whether it is facing Hong Chengchou in the future or the next development, Xu Changqing's confidence is also more sufficient!
Especially through last night's field survey, Xu Changqing found that there are many such small islands in this sea area, and the model of this small island can be copied.
Many of the islands may have disappeared for various reasons, but at this time, these islands are extremely strong, and there is no problem in settling on them for the time being.
It's just that those war horses are a little bit uneasy.
At this time, they were all chained to the simple small dock, although it was okay for a short time, but after a long time, it was definitely not a problem.
"You still need to build a stronghold on the shore, otherwise you won't even be able to get on land, so what kind of night will you not collect?"
Xu Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the vast coast to the west.
…………
Today is May 31, Xu Changqing did not rush back to Ningyuan to repay his merits, but calmly stayed on the island, stabilized the army's morale, and planned carefully.
At noon, these ladies all got up, and Xu Changqing also chatted with them and asked them about their wishes.
They are all women in the surrounding area, some have been caught by the Tartars for a few days, some have even been arrested for more than a year, and some are even only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they are completely playthings!
This is as inhumane as the comfort women made by the little devils back then!
Among these women, the younger ones still wanted to go home, but after listening to the older ones say a few words, they quickly closed their mouths and looked at Xu Changqing with blank eyes.
No way.
According to the current state of the Ming Dynasty, if these women go home, even if they think about it with their butts, they can know the consequences, that is, broken shoes......
There are so many lessons from the past......
Xu Changqing was also a little speechless about this.
Although he needed a lot of manpower at this time, he really didn't need the labor of a woman.
His team is just starting at this time, it has not yet taken shape, and the big war is approaching, how can there be room for women to stay?
But these women are too pitiful to let them fend for themselves in this state.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Changqing made a decision to put these women away!
Even if you have to spend a lot of food and silver for this, after all, these women are the blood of the Han family and his sister Xu Changqing, how can they not be saved when they die?
He Xu Changqing had already been wrong once for various reasons, how could he be wrong a second time at this time?
The key is that there are many such islands, and in the future, the front line will definitely be pushed to the front line of Songshan and Jinzhou in the north, and these women, if they do some delicate work, it is not useless.
But this time, in terms of retribution, Xu Changqing can't count them.
…………
After a day of rest, early in the morning of the first day of June in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Changqing was wearing the silver fine armor of the white armor, and came ashore with eleven war horses and a group of heads.
There is not much problem with raising horses on the side of the Green Snake Forest, but the key is that Xu Changqing's equipment at this time is difficult to face the Tartar rangers.
However, you can use bamboo to build a simple stable on the island, and you can just take the time to come to the green snake forest in the morning and evening to feed and release the horses.
Although this will be a waste of manpower, Xu Changqing has these exploits in hand at this time, and he will definitely be rewarded after returning to Ningyuan, and it should not be a big problem to add some follow-up manpower.
While thinking about it, Xu Changqing took six or seven people, including Zhao Zengjin, Ergou, and Wang Anshan, and rode eleven horses to Ningyuan City.
There are horses to go to Ningyuan City, obviously no longer have to be as embarrassed as before.
First of all, this is the rear defense area of the Ningyuan defense line, and it is close to the sea, it is a no-man's land, and there are not many Tartar sentinels.
Moreover, with these excellent war horses, even if Xu Changqing and his party can't get the Tartars head-on, it is no problem to run away.
Even if these Tartars are bulls, it will be extremely difficult to catch up.
Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Xu Changqing and a few people rushed all the way to Ningyuan City.
On the way, Xu Changqing and the others really found a few Tartar camps, but before these Tartars could react, Xu Changqing and the others had already left in the dust.
…
Coming to the majestic Ningyuan City again, Xu Changqing was also a little emotional for a while.
The last time he came, he was just a small general banner who didn't have much leeway, and Hong Chengchou, who could only surprise his troops, looked at him differently and won his fate.
But at this time, these dozen or so bloody Tartar heads, although only two levels are true slaves, they have a first-level true slave white armor, which is enough for Xu Changqing to gain a firm foothold.
It must be known that at this time, all kinds of military exploits of the Ming Dynasty were the most important to kill the Eastern Nu, which is now the Manchu Tartar.
According to the ancestral practice of the Ming Dynasty, if you kill the head of a Mongolian Tartar, you will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver, and you will be promoted several levels, not to mention the white-armored soldiers that the Jurchen Tartars are most proud of.
Even though this can't make Xu Changqing directly promoted to the head of Qian, ~, it is no longer a big problem to really stabilize his position in Hong Chengchou's heart, including gaining more right to speak.
…
At this time, the city gate had not yet opened, and Xu Changqing and his party were waiting outside the city gate.
Soon, many soldiers from the surrounding battalions who got up early also discovered the imposing figure of Xu Changqing.
The main reason is that Xu Changqing's war horses are too dazzling, and they are obviously much better than the war horses of the Ming Army.
Moreover, the smell of blood on the dozen or so hideous Tartar heads hanging on the war horse has not completely dissipated, and it is even more dazzling.
These days, although the elites of the Ming army have fought with the Tartar sentry cavalry many times, it is not that they have not killed the elite of the Tartar sentry cavalry, but those who can really cut the head are absolutely rare!
You know, if you want to cut off the head, you have to win it all, kill all the Tartars or drive them away, so that they don't have time to clean up the bodies of their comrades.
But the Jurchen Tartars have always had an ancestral habit.
That is, if anyone dies in battle, as long as someone brings his body home, he can get half of his property, even his wife and children.
This made it extremely difficult for the Ming army to capture the head of the Jurchen Tartars, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was difficult to go to the blue sky.
But at this time, these obviously very young men have seized so many Tartar heads, and there seem to be real slaves in them, and they are by no means killing good people.
Especially the lord who is the leader, the armored war horse, is really a bit powerful.
What's going on?
Soon, many people leaned over and approached Xu Changqing, asking for Xu Changqing's name and details.
What Xu Changqing needs most at this time is fame, so naturally he will not waste this opportunity, and he will intersect with everyone as warm as water, and describe the process of last night lightly.
"Mother, Xu, Xu Changqing?"
"Could it be that in the battalion of the White Marshal of the Jizhen Army before, he killed two generals in a row, and he was the Xu Ye who once tore a big boar of seven or eight hundred catties alive, known as 'Desperate San Lang Xu Heizi'?"
"That's right, it's safekeeping! It's not Xu Ye, who has this means? Tsk, what a good horse, what a good armor, Xu Ye is mighty! ”
"Master Xu, what a good man!"
“………”
Xu Changqing didn't actually do anything, but soon, the name of 'Desperate San Lang Xu Changqing' quickly spread in the area of the south gate of Ningyuan City.
In this era, people lack entertainment, and they lack celebrity idols, let alone this kind of army with today and no tomorrow?
Xu Changqing already had a certain reputation before, but later in Bai Guangen's camp, he made a ruthless shot in front of Hong Chengchou, which made Xu Changqing's reputation spread a little.
At this time, eleven warlike horses and more than a dozen bloody Tartar heads were placed in front of them, which fermented this atmosphere terrifyingly.
When the city gate was opened, the surrounding crowd directly resounded with cheers, chanting Xu Changqing's name.
It is also the indescribable pride of Zhao Zengjin, Ergou, and Wang Anshan, who only feel honored.
At this time, they can stay by Xu Changqing's side, what kind of luck and glory is this?
Many people can't help but be ruthless in their hearts, and in the future, they must practice hard and be as powerful as adults.
…
Xu Changqing was originally going to go to the Biao Camp to report his merits.
After all, even if he has meritorious deeds, the most important thing in the officialdom of Huaguo since ancient times is the rules, and Xu Changqing will obviously not be arrogant enough to go directly to Hong Chengchou to report his merits.
That's not a matter of breaking the rules, it's a complete stupidity, and it will only become an outlier and a joke for everyone!
But it's better to come early than to come at a good time!
Not long after Xu Changqing entered the city gate, he happened to meet Hong Chengchou's honor guard and team.
Hong Chengchou didn't pay much attention to superficial kung fu, he was riding on a horse at this time, at the front of the team, a little frowning, as if thinking about things.
Behind him are his chess players and personal guards.
But for a moment, Hong Chengchou was also attracted by Xu Changqing's strong war horses and the smell of blood, and he was busy looking at it.
But he happened to see the gaze of Xu Changqing, who was just about to get off the horse and retreat.
"Xiao Xu?"
As soon as he saw Xu Changqing, and then looked at the heads of these war horses and horses, how could Hong Chengchou not understand what was going on?
The old eyes suddenly lit up!
"Xu Changqing, the commander of the military standard battalion in the lowly post, has seen the governor, and the governor is healthy!"
At this time, Xu Changqing had already dismounted in a dashing manner and knelt down respectfully in front of Hong Chengchou.
Behind him, Zhao Zengjin and Ergou also quickly dismounted and knelt down.
Hong Chengchou was busy signaling Xu Changqing to get up, as if he had forgotten his itinerary, and asked with a smile: "You little ghost is clever, what's going on?" It's only been a few days, and you've ...... Tell me, how the hell did you kid do it? ”
Xu Changqing had already had a belly case, and he was busy telling Hong Chengchou with a smile.
Here, all the Qin army guards around were a little dumbfounded.
What's the situation?
This kid, it's only been a few days since he entered the Governor's Camp, and he has already made meritorious contributions, and he still killed a Tartar white armor?
The point is, why is this kid's horse so good, I don't remember that there are such good horses in the camp.
Many of the Qin army's personal guards didn't know the details, so naturally they didn't know what was going on.
But at this time, Liu Lang and Liu Qian, who were not far behind Hong Chengchou, not only heard Xu Changqing's story to Hong Chengchou, but also really knew what the situation was.
"Boom!"
For a while, Liu Lang's face turned a little green, and his mind felt as if he had just been bombed by a bomber, and he didn't feel that he was standing or sitting, like sitting on pins and needles.
What the hell is this black boy......
How could he, how could he have made such a feat in such a short period of time, and even captured so many such good war horses......
He had always thought that this black boy was cunning and found a place to hide......
Is this because you haven't woken up today and are dreaming?
