…

Although Lin Chong had tried his best to think about the horses of Shuibo Liangshan before he came, he still underestimated the more than 140 good horses of Shuibo Liangshan!

Lin Chong stroked these horses one by one and said: "These horses are not service horses, most of them are authentic northern war horses, and they can go to the battlefield with a little training, and the owner of the village ...... Brother, where did this horse come from? ”

Deng Fei replied for Li Yan: "My brother went north some time ago and met a group of horse dealers, this horse is what they sold to us, and they will sell it one after another, but unfortunately their strength is limited, they can bring up to thirty or fifty horses at a time, but fortunately in the long run." ”

Hearing Deng Fei say that there will be such good horses again, Lin Chong's heart moved, and he said secretly: "If I can command one or two battalions of horse troops, I will also achieve the position of a general. ”

Thinking of this, Lin Chong's mind came alive!

Suddenly, thinking of the treacherous nature of the imperial court and Gao Yu, Lin Chong's heart that had just warmed up quickly cooled down again!

But it's not that Lin Chong doesn't want to be the head of this horse, on the contrary, after seeing these good horses, Lin Chong can no longer suppress his utilitarian heart!

In the final analysis, Lin Chong is still the Lin Chong who is eager to lead the army to make contributions and then get ahead.

In fact, Lin Chong is not to blame.

During the Song Dynasty, the military personnel in charge of training were: the envoys of the Tour, the head of the capital, and the head of the sect.

The envoys are subordinate officers, because the envoys are low-level military attaches of the eighth or ninth rank, and they can be given various names before the "envoys".

A military officer below the rank of an envoy is a military officer without quality.

The head of the capital is slightly higher than the head of the sect, and the initial setting is to draw a strong person with high martial arts skills in the ratio of 2,500 to 5,000 to 1.

The head of the sect first appeared in the army of the Song Dynasty because of Fan Zhongyan's order, "each commander selects twenty-five young and brave people, and first teaches them bows and crossbows and short soldiers, and if they are skilled, they are supplemented as the head of the sect, but each person is divided into ten people to teach each other, and they are taught by each other" - that is to say, the soldiers are selected from ten to twenty to one as the head of teaching martial arts.

However, at this time, it was only a temporary training pacesetter position, and there was no formal establishment.

When it came to the Song Dynasty, there were gradually full-time sect heads, such as:

"Kaifeng Prefecture, Jingdong, and West will send troops, take one out of every ten people, and order the head to teach the head to practice horse shooting." - This is to first select the soldiers 10 to 1, and then assemble for the training of the coach.

"In the Kaifeng Prefecture and the 26 generals in the east and west of Beijing, each selected eight people who were poor and strong, light and agile personalities, and sent them to the promotion to teach the Ma Army", "The generals will choose five people to go to the infantry division" - about one person for every few hundred people to be trained to become the head of the coach. The soldiers who were then selected were then trained in batches. On average, there are only a few dozen soldiers per instructor.

In addition to training the forbidden army, the head of the sect also has a task of training volunteers and armor protection militia.

On a certain occasion, the chief of the Kaifeng Prefecture was given centralized military training, and the training personnel were drawn from the forbidden army, and only one place in Kaifeng selected "270 leaders of the forbidden army, 30 heads of the capital, and 10 envoys" - from this we can also roughly know the proportion of the number of envoys, heads of the capital, and heads of the sect.

And the trained Baojia militia after returning to his hometown can also be called a "leader" - of course, this is not the category of "800,000 forbidden army leaders".

According to the above-mentioned selection criteria of several hundred to one, not to mention that there are thousands of sect leaders in the forbidden army, there are always hundreds of them.

The "800,000 Forbidden Army Gun and Stick Instructor" was brought out and said, at best, he was a senior non-commissioned officer, and according to the division of later generations, he belonged to a professional and technical non-commissioned officer, and at best he was a sergeant, not a cadre sequence.

For Lin Chong, who has a good martial arts, how can he be willing to be such a sergeant who is good for nothing but good names? How can he not be eager to lead the army and make contributions with his own ability?

After checking the horses one by one for a while, Lin Chong said: "These horses are really well taken care of, there must be a master who understands horses on the mountain, begging my brother to take me to see him!" ”

Seeing that Lin Chong knew the goods, Li Yan nodded secretly, and said in his heart: "Let Lin Chong lay the foundation of the horse army for Liang Shanbo, it should be the right person." ”

Why didn't Li Yan choose Shan Shiqi and Bian Xiang to build the Ma Army of Shuibo Liangshan, it was really because Li Yanxin was just these two people who had not been in contact with the Ma Army to establish the Ma Army - Li Yan, who was born in the military, knows quite well that what foundation a unit lays, what the future is, it is difficult to change, and Lin Chong, not to mention those brilliant achievements in the future, but he once had a resume as the head of the Ma Army in the forbidden army, and in the construction of the Ma Army, he designated the local tyrant Shan Shiqi and the crop man Bian Xiang to specialize.

Li Yan introduced Huangfuduan, who had been with him, to Lin Chong: "Brother Huangfuduan, I saw it last night, a veterinarian of the first rank in the world, good at horses, give me a blood-soaked BMW with pure blood, and now Brother Huangfuduan is using it to breed, and after the foal is born, Brother Lin Chong will pick one first." ”

Lin Chong said in disbelief: "There are still sweaty BMWs in the village? ”

Deng Fei pointed to the lion skull that occupied a stable alone not far away, and said, "It's there." ”

Lin Chong looked at Deng Fei's hand, and then subconsciously walked towards the lion skull.

Li Yan and others also followed.

Li Yan originally thought that Lin Chong would be like everyone else, deceived by the appearance of the lion's skull.

But as it turned out, Li Yan was wrong.

Lin Chong came to the lion's side, looked at it for a while, then circled around the lion skull a few times, and then suddenly stretched out his three-fingered fingers to press the lion's back!

At this time, the lion who was eating grass quietly turned around and bit Lin Chong!

Seeing this, Lin Chong took a step back unhurriedly and withdrew his hand.

The lion was furious and wanted to kick Lin Chong!

Li Yan said: "Beasts dare! ”

After listening to Li Yan's scolding, the lion put down his raised leg again!

Lin Chong's eyes burned and said, "This must be BMW!" ”

Huangfu handed Li Yan a look of "this person understands horses".

Li Yanchong nodded at Huangfu, and then asked Lin Chong: "Brother, do you want to ride and see?" ”

Lin Chong hurriedly said: "This kind of BMW can only be ridden by characters like my brother, and the villain can get a foal and can wake up from his sleep with a smile!" ”

Li Yanxin said: "If it weren't for the seemingly unsolvable knot of 'Gao Yanei fell in love with his wife and would have to "die of illness" if he didn't grab it, and his wife was a chaste martyr who would rather die than obey', Lin Chong, who was strong in skills and gradually learned to flatter and give up, might not have a chance to get ahead. ”

At this moment, three people in the distance rode fast horses towards this direction.

Li Yan looked at it, but it was Shan Shiqi, Zhu Jing and Bian Xiang.

As soon as he saw these three people coming on horseback, and then thought of Wang Lun, who had just left under the pretext, Li Yan, who had roughly guessed what was going on, couldn't help but have a headache, "The team is big, and it's not easy to take it at first." ”
