Early the next morning, Qi Ning led people straight to the Black Scale Camp.

Duan Canghai had already taken the lead in returning to the camp yesterday, so today it was Qi Feng with a few people accompanying the guards, the horses were flying, raising dust, there were not many people, but they were also violent.

The black scale camp was rebuilt, but the camp was located in the old site of the black scale camp, located in the south of Jianye City but dozens of miles, there is a lake near the camp, because the lake is surrounded by spring and summer, it will be full of cockscomb flowers, so this lake is called the chicken crown lake, this lake is clear all year round, but it solves the problem of drinking water in the camp.

The Black Scale Camp had been abandoned for many years, but before Duan Canghai was responsible for rebuilding the Black Scale Camp, Qi Ning had already negotiated with other ministries, and the Black Scale Camp had also been renovated.

Although the repair is very rough, but fortunately, the configuration is complete, whether it is the kitchen, stables, armory, dormitory, prescription or drill ground, all are complete, covering a large area, especially the drill ground for military training, although the establishment is only 1,000 people, but it can accommodate two or three thousand people.

The camp is surrounded by wooden fences, guarded by soldiers, and there are two flags erected at the gate, one with the word "Chu" fluttering, and the other is a black scale flag with black scale armor.

When Qi Ning arrived, Duan Canghai was already waiting at Yuanmen with all the generals of the Black Scale Battalion.

Duan Canghai saw Qi Ning restraining the horse, and personally stepped forward to hold the reins of the horse, Qi Ning turned over and dismounted, all the generals stepped forward one after another, knelt down on one knee and saluted, Qi Ning glanced at it, most of these more than ten generals were familiar, before the Black Scale Battalion was rebuilt, Duan Canghai recalled some of the remnants of the Black Scale Battalion to the old generals, and these people naturally became the backbone of this newly built Black Scale Battalion.

Qi Ning waved his hand and smiled: "You're welcome, get up and speak." ”

Everyone had been in contact with Qi Ning before, and knew that although this little marquis had a noble status, he had no arrogance, he was easy-going, and they all got up.

Qi Feng and several people also got off the horse, and their own soldiers led everyone's horses down, Qi Feng is also the old department of the Black Scale Battalion, and everyone present is familiar with them, these are the battlefield brothers who have survived the catastrophe, and the feelings are naturally extraordinary, Qi Feng stepped forward and hugged everyone one by one, surrounded by everyone, and then entered the camp and went directly to the big tent.

Because it is to train the soldiers according to the habits of the battlefield, the buildings in the camp are actually set up with marching tents, except for the armory, the other tents are built around the camp, and the soldiers' dormitories are also built every day after sunset, and they will be put away and stacked together the next morning.

Because of this, there are not many tents in the camp during the day, and the commander's tent where Duan Canghai is located is naturally very conspicuous.

The soldiers of the Black Scale Battalion were also in training, after Duan Canghai and the others surrounded Qi Ning into the tent, Duan Canghai asked Qi Ning to sit in the main seat, Qi Ning shook his head and smiled: "This position, I won't sit for the time being, one day you help me train this Black Scale Battalion into an invincible elite soldier, and I will come to this position again to enjoy it." ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Qi Ning stood, the generals naturally did not sit, Qi Ning glanced at it, and then asked Duan Canghai: "Have the food and military salaries of the soldiers been delivered as scheduled?" ”

Duan Canghai said: "Back to the Hou Ye, there is no shortage of military salaries, and the food is quite acceptable, so everyone can always be full." However, in terms of weapons, there is still some shortage. ”

The general next to him hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Master Hou, with all due respect, the military department is the force of the Golden Dao Lantai family, and the Lantai family has always been jealous of the Jinyi Qi family. He turned around, walked to the corner of the big tent, took out a knife, handed it to Qi Ning, and said, "Master Hou, look at this knife." ”

Qi Ning remembered that this person was called Mo Fukuan, after the defeat of the Black Scale Battalion, Mo Fukuan served as the general of the Wuwei Zhonglang, and among the remnants of the Black Scale Battalion, he could be said to be the highest official person, but Duan Canghai called him, and Mo Fukuan immediately resigned from his official position and came to work together to rebuild the Black Scale Battalion.

Qi Ning knew that the blood of these people had been integrated into the Black Scale Camp, although the Black Scale Camp was rebuilt, but the future was uncertain, these people gave up their great future and came to the Black Scale Camp, their loyalty was naturally unquestionable.

He took the knife, pulled it out, and immediately understood what Mo Fukuan meant.

Qi Ning has seen a lot of knives, he himself has a cold blade that he carries with him, he is naturally clear about the quality of the knife, the knife in front of him is dim, the knife edge is not even sharp, at a glance he knows that it is a knife that has been eliminated, frowned, Mo Fukuan has already said: "Master Hou, the military department has sent 1,300 big knives, but almost all of them are this kind of knives." In addition, the spears and curved bows they sent were all used by others and eliminated, and only a very small number of them were freshly crafted blades, and it didn't hurt to train these weapons for the time being, but if they really wanted to fight people, they wouldn't work at all. ”

A general on the side said: "Master Hou, these are fine, but the Black Scale Battalion was trained with cavalry at the beginning, and when it arrived at the battlefield, one person was paired with two horses, a thousand people weaved, not to mention two thousand war horses, and at least five hundred were prepared to replace them at any time, but until now, the war horses sent from the military department are less than four hundred, and those that can really be called good horses, less than fifty, weapons can be used, but war horses cannot be settled." ”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, listening attentively, the general in front of him, Lu Kang, he also knew that when they met for the first time, when Duan Canghai introduced Lu Kang, he praised Lu Kang's amazing riding skills.

"On the battlefield, man and horse are one." Lu Kang Zhengse said: "People don't leave horses, horses don't leave people, at the moment it's just training swordsmanship and bows and arrows, if you get to the back, you have to let the soldiers and their horses eat and live together, get along day and night, but the current situation is impossible to achieve." ”

Duan Canghai also sighed: "Master Hou, to train a brave and good cavalry, the ability of the cavalry itself accounts for three points, and the remaining three points depend on the war horse, and the last four points depend on logistics." Only when cavalry and war horses live and die together can they exert the greatest power on the battlefield, and the replenishment of logistics is also crucial. When these soldiers are proficient in swords and arrows, they are bound to start being with the war horse, and it will take at least half a year to develop feelings, so at that time, every soldier must be equipped with a good war horse. ”

Qi Ning nodded and said, "This is something I didn't do well, and your suggestion is very timely." Rest assured, when you need a warhorse, I will supply you with a lot of horses. ”

When everyone heard Qi Ning's assurance, they all showed joy.

"I know your hard work for a while." Qi Ning said: "You also know in your hearts that the existence of the Black Scale Camp is a thorn in the flesh of many people, and what they want to see most is that the Black Scale Camp has done nothing, but since Benhou has rebuilt the Black Scale Camp by the emperor's will, he naturally wants to let the Black Scale Camp regain its former glory and make it the First Cavalry Legion of Great Chu." ”

Duan Canghai and the generals arched their hands in unison and said, "We will swear allegiance to the Hou Ye and restore the glory of the Black Scale Camp to the death." ”

Qi Ning laughed and said, "But I'm here today to straighten out the Black Scale Camp." Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that your training is not good, but the forest is big, and there are always bad sheep, Deputy Commander Duan should have told you, the imperial court will transfer people over in the past two days. ”

Mo Fukuan immediately said: "Master Hou is talking about Wu Dalin, right?" ”

Qi Ning nodded, and a general named Lu Dayou next to him immediately sneered: "Don't worry, Master Hou, if Wu Dalin doesn't come, if he comes, let's let him stay here for less than three days and leave." ”

Qi Ning immediately said, "I'm just worried about you like this." Ladies and gentlemen, I am still familiar with Wu Dalin, and he is also a general, and I am looking for you to be with you because I want you to integrate him into the Black Scale Camp. What we have to do in the Black Scale Camp is not to exclude outsiders, after all, the patriarchs of the Black Scale Camp, just a dozen of you, these nearly a thousand people, are all outsiders, if we can't tolerate outsiders, this Black Scale Camp will not be able to rebuild. ”

Mo Fukuan bowed his head and said: "Master Hou, Wu Dalin, the last general also knows a little. This person was in the Qinhuai Legion back then, and he was actually very important to the general, but he made a mistake later, and he was expelled from the Qinhuai Legion. This person has the ability, and he is also loyal, and he is also brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, but ..... He was expelled from the Qinhuai Legion back then, and he didn't know if he had a grudge against the general, if so, this person came to the Black Scale Battalion, I am afraid that he had bad intentions. ”

"Naturally, you still have to be wary of him." Qi Ning said: "But if he is sincerely willing to be with us, we will treat him as our own brother." Looking at Lu Dayou, he said with a smile: "Let him leave the Black Scale Camp within three days, I believe you have this ability, but if you can let him stay in the Black Scale Camp for thirty years, then it can be regarded as a real ability." ”

Everyone was stunned, and then they all laughed, Duan Canghai said with a smile on the side: "The brothers have heard what Master Hou said, if Wu Dalin comes, as long as he doesn't have evil thoughts, let's treat him as a brother, if he really has no intentions, our brothers will cut him with a knife." ”

"The reason why Wu Dalin transferred to the Black Scale Camp is because the Black Scale Camp committed a crime and was caught." Qi Ning's expression became serious: "I really didn't think of this case, but it is reasonable, this time I don't blame any of you, it was my negligence, but today I came to rectify the Black Scale Camp, if a similar incident happens next time, it will be your dereliction of duty, and I will ask you when the time comes." ”

Of course, everyone knows what the case is, some people show embarrassment, and some people already show guilt.

Qi Ning looked at Duan Canghai and said, "Deputy Commander Duan, order the soldiers, Ben Hou has a few words to explain to them, so that they can also have a long memory." ”

Duan Canghai arched his hand, and immediately led the generals out of the camp to gather soldiers and horses.

Qi Ning walked out of the big tent, watched the generals leave, put his hands behind his back, looked at the bright sky, and muttered: "The Black Scale Camp is a knife in my hand, of course I can't let this knife hurt myself one day." ”
