It was not until a long time after the battle was over, that everyone had almost cleaned the battlefield, and even Old Man Hu's stupid son happily asked for two bowls of mutton soup with the villagers he knew well, and Old Man Hu was really convinced that the attacker was indeed his castle owner who was not yet 16 years old and could only be regarded as a half-ding.

Moreover, he actually led these peasants to defeat the murderous Tartars!

What's even more exaggerated is that these dock fort militia seem to have won the battle without paying particularly heavy casualties!

This made Hu Lanshan feel more and more that the world had become unreal.

It's just that no matter how much his worldview has been impacted, Xu Shiyang just sits in front of him like that, and he can't believe it.

However, what should I say in front of such a "murderous" castle owner?

Hu Lanshan, who used to be in constant contact with heroes from all walks of life, Tartars, and large groups of displaced people, and boasted of being exquisite, suddenly felt that he couldn't see clearly the castle master in front of him who was chopping Tartar like chopping vegetables.

"Old Hu." Xu Shiyang raised his eyes and glanced at Hu Lanshan, who was restless.

"Young Master!" Although Xu Shiyang's tone was very flat, this glance still frightened Old Man Hu jumped up directly from the ground.

In this old man's heart, Xu Shiyang, who can kill Tartars, is naturally more fierce than Tartars, and it is naturally worthy of him to be more careful.

It's very simple.

"Don't be in a daze here, you didn't participate in the fight." Xu Shiyang instructed lightly: "Go and count the loot." ”

"Yes!" Old man Hu can't wait to disappear from this killing god now.

As for other questions, why did Xu Shiyang send their father and son to deliver things to the Tartars first, and then attack the Tartars, did he want to borrow a knife to kill people, Old Man Hu couldn't think of it for the time being, or rather, he didn't dare to think about it.

……

For a small dock fort, the fruits of this victory were unusually sweet.

Not counting the materials that the Tunding collected from the Tartars, only the materials that fell into Xu Shiyang's hands may not be earned by a Tunpu village after ten years of plowing.

First of all, those horses, the Jurchen Tartars are different from the steppe Tatars, they are actually a fishing and hunting people, and the proportion of cavalry is not high among the Tartars of all walks of life.

But this is not high, compared with other nomadic peoples, for the tired Han Wubao, the Jurchen Tartar's war horse is definitely a coveted treasure.

In this battle, because none of the enemy could escape, the entire horse stake was completely captured by Xu Shiyang, and there were as many as 12 serious war horses, in addition to 15 pack horses, 8 oxen, 22 donkeys and 15 mules.

In addition to the horses, the other big animals should have been snatched by this group of Tartars from other Han Wu forts (including the two mules brought by Old Man Hu), and now they are naturally all cheaper than Xu Shiyang.

With these cattle, horses and mules, Wubao should be able to make it much easier to plough next year, and maybe it can reclaim a few more wastelands and feed some more people.

Well, the Tartars are a good one, 580 people, all of them are strong men and women (or some beautiful women), otherwise they would not have survived the Tartars' abuse.

Population is also a huge wealth, Xu Shiyang's Tunpu currently has only more than 300 men, if he can successfully digest these populations, his strength is equal to double the expansion!

And weapons.

Jiangbei land all industries withered, craftsmen are rare and precious, especially blacksmiths, Xu Shi Yangtun Fort only has a blacksmith sent to him by his father, this old two young father and son were raised in the fort by him like a baby, just striking iron every day, no need to do other work.

Xu Shiyang asked them to drill the barrel of the musket for themselves, and only 12 were made in 10 months, and he ruthlessly took two shots to let those half-grown children take turns to practice shooting every day, and they had already exceeded the life of the barrel and were scrapped, so in the past 10 months, the iron weapons that Xu Shiyang got from the blacksmith were actually only 10 muskets.

Don't be dissatisfied, crafting weapons is not the main business of blacksmiths, their main job is actually to maintain the few iron farming tools in the fort, and it is already a blacksmith's diligence to make him 10 muskets.

In this case, it is no wonder that Xu Shiyang's peasant soldiers had to fight with hoes and sickles.

In fact, all Han Wu forts are in the same situation, and the replenishment of weapons is not only limited to craftsmen, but also to consider whether the limited iron should be made first to make farm tools or weapons.

Now that Xu Shiyang has seized a large number of well-made iron weapons from the Tartars, he is naturally very happy.

The most satisfying of these was a suit of iron armor that had been turned out of the Tartar Mok, with silver leaves, strung together with cow tendon or cowhide rope up to the knees, and iron arms like lobster shells on either side.

The whole set of armor gives a sense of majesty, as if no weapon in this world can penetrate it.

Such a piece of armor can be sold for a hundred taels when it is taken to Jiangnan, and it is a priceless treasure in Jiangbei!

Then there were 5 pieces of chain mail, 5 sets of cloth armor, and 12 pieces of leather armor.

There are a total of 23 sets of armor, as well as heavy cold weapons such as broadswords, spears, maces, etc., and a longbow and waist knife is a set for each Tartar.

A huge fortune, in a place like Lunan Mountain, so many armored soldiers can even be exchanged for an entire tunbao!

Xu Shiyang still couldn't expect the militia to be able to fight the Tartars one-on-one with the iron knives of the Tartars, but with these, his Dock Fort soldiers had at least three more chances of winning against the homeless, bandits, or other hostile Dock Forts.

In addition to the population and horse battles, the wealth looted by the Tartars all the way naturally fell into the hands of Xu Shiyang.

He couldn't sleep in the danger zone, and in order to divert his attention, he could only take the two half-grown children who acted as pro-soldiers and the old man Hu and his son to count them, and counted about 120 horses of various colors of miscellaneous cloth (silk, silk, linen and cotton), as well as more than 300 taels of silver, more than 20 taels of gold, a small amount of jewelry, jade ornaments, and a large number of copper coins.

A part of the grain was taken out and a bowl of gruel was made for each of the Han people who were plundered by the Tartars, and the rest was still more than 210 stones.

In addition, there are some pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and other meat livestock.

This amount is already quite a lot, saving some food, plus the food stored at home, at least it will not be a problem for Xu Shiyang's people in Quantunpu to last until next year's harvest.

It's just a pity that some of these foods are equivalent to Xu Shiyang deliberately sent someone to send them in order to paralyze the tartars.

Fortunately, they are all back in his hands.

With this food, Xu Shiyang felt that he should be able to expand the pro-soldier team and train more children.

There are also some pots and pans, iron farm tools and the like, the productivity of the Tatars themselves is not developed, the Jurchens can plunder because of Goryeo, and there are also Xi people, Khitan and other farming and semi-agricultural peoples, the situation is somewhat better, but it still needs to rob a large number of daily necessities to supplement the domestic shortage.

For Xu Shiyang, the situation is similar.

At least those iron pots are good sources of iron, which are usually used for cooking, and when needed, they can also be melted and changed into weapons.
