Volume 17 Chapter 51 The Great Development of Xibo (Part II)
Luo Zongshan is also a delicate person, he knows that although the young man in front of him has a lower position than him, his future is definitely better than his own, and even at this moment, people talk better than himself, so he did not hesitate to pull down his body, and tried his best to set the name of this young man.
It turned out that this young man's name was Zhang Yue, and he was the captain of the personal guard under the command of Master Ma Kai, and there were more than 100 people under him.
Sure enough, the future is immeasurable, to put it bluntly, there are thousands of peasants under his hands, and the one hundred and ten people under his hands are real guards, and if he is lucky, he may enter the regular army at any time.
Just as he sighed, the two of them had already walked out of the station, and when they came outside, Luo Zongshan's eyes were about to pop out.
What appeared in front of him was a spacious street, and there were many people on the street, there were herdsmen, traders, and more guards dressed in formal clothes, yellow and white were everywhere, so lively, and directly behind the street, a magnificent three-story fortress was built on the mountain, so not spectacular!
Seeing his stunned appearance, Zhang Yue couldn't help but smile and urged: "Lord Luo, let's go see Master Ma first, and I'll take you to the street if you have time." “
When Luo Zongshan heard this, he nodded again and again: "Okay, let's go see Master Ma first, Lord Zhang, please." “
When Zhang Yue heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Luo, don't scold me, what kind of adult am I, you can call me Xiao Zhang and Xiao Yue, don't call me an adult." “
Luo Zongshan saw that Zhang Yue's appearance didn't look like a fake, so he tentatively said, "Then why does Master Ma call you?" “
Zhang Yue did not shy away from saying: "Master Ma generally calls me Xiaoyue, and when I am in a hurry, I call me Yuezi, alas, Yuezi, I have been laughed at by them for a long time." “
When Luo Zongshan heard this, he held back his smile and said kindly: "Then I will dare to call you Xiaoyue with Master Ma." “
The two talked all the way, and soon came to the fortress, at this time, Zhang Yue no longer spoke, but straightened his military uniform, straightened his waist, and walked towards the first layer of the city gate seriously, Luo Zongshan hurriedly followed his example, adjusted the new military uniform on his body, straightened his waist, and walked a small step.
The guards at the gate of the city naturally knew Zhang Yue, and when they saw that he had brought a thousand households over, not only did they not step forward to stop him, but they also gave a military salute neatly.
Zhang Yue hurriedly returned the salute, and then took Luo Zongshan into the city gate and walked up the stairs.
Not long after, the two of them came to the top of the first floor of the fortress, there were neat military camps on the left and right of this floor, and there were rows of forts near the city wall.
There is a sign hanging at the entrance of the barracks on the left, which reads neatly that the Fifth Capital of Xibo commands the 21st Guard, which is exactly the same as Luo Zongshan's order.
Entering the barracks, there are two rows of identical military houses on the left and right, there seems to be no difference, Zhang Yue directly took Luo Zongshan into the first military house on the left, and when he entered the door, he gave a military salute, and said loudly: "Report, Lord Luo Zongshan Luo brought it." “
A burly man in his forties was writing something on the desk, and when he heard the sound, he immediately put down his pen, stood up, and said to Luo Zongshan cordially: "I'm sorry, I'm really busy, so I can only let Xiaoyue pick you up at the station." “
When Luo Zongshan heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward, gave a military salute, and said loudly: "Luo Zongshan, the one hundred and thousandth households of Xibowei, see Master Ma." “
With that, he respectfully handed over the order with both hands.
Ma Kai returned a military salute, took the order and checked it carefully, and then raised his head and smiled: "Well, you are older than me, I will call you Lao Luo in the future, Lao Luo, I heard that your eldest son is a soldier in the Third Army of the Border Guards." “
When Luo Zongshan heard this, he said with a little pride: "Yes, that kid is also a little promising, and he is fortunate to enter the regular army, Lord Ma, I don't know which legion your son is in?" “
When Ma Kai heard this, he laughed and said, "Hahahaha, my son has just been able to climb, and no legion can enter at this time." “
Luo Zongshan was stunned when he heard this, this Master Ma seems to be a few years younger than himself, how can his son just be able to climb?
Zhang Yue on the side couldn't help but say proudly: "Lord Luo, don't you know, our Lord Ma used to be the president of the Tianxiong Army, and it hasn't been two years since he retired. “
Tianxiong Army! My God, it's a first-class elite legion, the commander of the corps Lu Xiangsheng is the generalissimo of the army, this Lord Ma is really not small, Luo Zongshan couldn't help but arch his hand and said: "It turns out that Lord Ma is a general of the Tianxiong Army, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful." “
Ma Kai glared at Zhang Yue, shook his head and said: "Old Luo, don't you dare to call me the general of the Tianxiong Army, I am just a small soldier under Lord Lu who leads the charge, I am old, I can't rush anymore, I can only go home and pick up the child." “
Luo Zongshan was still about to compliment him, but Ma Kai walked out from behind the desk, walked to the side of the wall where the map was hung, beckoned to him, and then pointed to the map and said, "Come, old Luo, I will tell you the location of your territory first." “
Luo Zongshan hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the map with a smile, but this look directly made him dumbfounded, the map seemed to be very detailed, but there was no place name on it at all, and his eyes were full of secret numbers!
Ma Kai skillfully pointed to the map and introduced: "You see, this is the Siber Khanate, which is also called Siberia by foreigners, and the right half is the Siberian Plateau where we are, and the left half is the Siberian Plain, which has not yet been captured." “
Ma Kai first drew a large circle with his hand, introduced the general situation, and then pointed to the railway on the map and said in detail: "This is the Siberian Railway you took when you came, and this point is the No. 5 fortress where we are now, that is, the base camp of our Xibo Fifth Capital Command Mission, and this piece is the jurisdiction of our Xibo 21st Guard. “
Luo Zongshan took a closer look, he had found the place, but there was no familiar reference, he couldn't see how big the jurisdiction was, and he couldn't even see how far the jurisdiction was from here, he couldn't help but ask embarrassedly: "This, Lord Ma, how big is the jurisdiction of our 10,000 households?" “
Ma Kai was not annoyed when he heard this, but pointed to the map and guided: "You see, there are very shallow thin lines on it, and the distance between each two thin lines is one hundred miles, and with this as a reference, it can be estimated that the width of your jurisdiction is about more than fifty miles from east to west, and the width from north to south is about more than one hundred miles." “
My God, such a large area is about to catch up with a county, Luo Zongshan's fantasy is open again, his jurisdiction is as big as a county, doesn't it mean that his thousand households are almost equivalent to a small county order!
Seeing his intoxicated look, Ma Kai couldn't help but remind: "Lao Luo, your jurisdiction is mainly woodland and mountains, and there is no grassland, let alone cultivated land, so the area is so large." “
Yes! When Luo Zongshan heard this, his jaw was about to drop, there was no grassland, no arable land, what to eat?
