He walked out of the pavilion, and watched the lively younger brothers and sisters hurriedly follow, Yang He stroked the heads of the two, and sighed in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fleeing all the way, every time they encounter tragic things, I don't know if it will leave any psychological shadow on their young hearts.

He looked at Siye and saw that there was a ruined village two miles ahead, which was very large, a bit similar to Du Wei he had seen before.

There is still a lot of water in the canal in front of me, and many fields can be irrigated by the canal, but now it is all deserted.

Qi Youxin and Yan Dezheng also came out, Qi Youxin looked at it with Yang He, and he sighed: "I hope that after going to Zhuangzi in front, I can collect some wood...... If there had been a shield in this battle, there would not have been so many wounded. ”

Yang He nodded, the importance of equipment cannot be ignored, just like the bandit sword and shield hand, although he is strong, but in fact, he is only about the same as Minister Yang, at most a little stronger, but after equipping the shield, his combat effectiveness has increased dramatically.

If there were shields in today's battle, the casualties would not be so heavy, at least the arrows thrown over could basically be blocked.

was looking out, and suddenly there was a commotion in the rear, it turned out that Minister Yang and they had returned.

I saw Minister Yang leading a horse with a smile on his face, Han Guan'er supporting him, a satisfied smile on his indifferent face, and then one package after another on the horse's back, all seized from the bandits, and a bunch of knives, guns and sticks.

There were still a lot of clothes on the horseback, and it seemed that the clothes on the bandits had been stripped naked by Minister Yang.

Seeing this horse, Yang He's eyes also lit up, four horse thieves, one fled on horseback, two people and horses died, only the horse thief wearing a blue folded scarf was shot to the ground by Yang He, and his horse was also taken into his own possession.

The noise sounded, but it was a bunch of young men behind who carried two dead horses, and the dense ropes were skewered and skewered to carry them.

A horse weighs at least 1,000 pounds, and it is very difficult for ten people to carry it, and there is a shortage of manpower, and the road is farther, so the young people are grinning and walking with difficulty.

Seeing all the young men coming over with dead horses, the people here cheered, and there was meat in the warehouse, which was great, and they all went up to help.

Yang He saw that Na Luo Xianjue was also carrying him, with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Today, this newcomer performed well, and Yang He saw him wielding a stick and beating a bandit to death.

Yang He also noticed that Zhang Yuncao took his daughter and focused his eyes on Luo Xianjue with concern, it seems that after Wu Shengzuo's death, one of her hearts fell on Luo Xianjue.

Maybe for her, this man will be their mother and daughter in the future.

There were also some young men carrying several corpses on their backs, and they looked pained and silent.

Seeing these corpses, the refugees also fell silent, and on the way to escape, they continued to lose relatives and friends, and everyone was numb after grieving again and again.

Yang He felt a surge of grief in his heart, and he forcibly suppressed himself, being in the troubled times, he felt the fragility of life.

At this time, Minister Yang's voice sounded: "Young master, look, there are horses, and the young master and the two little masters will not have to walk in the future." ”

The younger brothers and sisters also shouted happily, running around the healthy horse, Yang He was a little worried about Minister Yang's body, in the previous battle, he saw Minister Yang was beaten out by the bandit's sword and shield hand, and vomited blood.

Hearing Yang He's concerned inquiry, the stout young man cracked his mouth and smiled: "Don't worry, young master, it's okay." ”

At this time, Sun Zhaodi came out, and she said repeatedly: "Quick, take off all the things on the horse's back, this horse will be Xianggong's mount in the future, and you will take care of it." ”

Everyone stepped forward and took off the things on the horse's back, and Minister Yang reported the harvest to Yang He.

They carefully cleaned the battlefield and obtained a total of thirty-two clubs, three spears, a waist knife, three sabers, two pairs of double inserts, two red tasseled felt hats, and two cloaks.

Then a number of packages were seized, and a bag of fine salt, a brick of salt, and a bag of flour were found.

And the thieves had some silver on them, all of them more than a hundred taels, all of them in a blanket, and a bag of beans.

In the end, Minister Yang didn't care about the clothes, shoes and socks on the thieves, and Yang He didn't care either.

However, when he heard that some fine salt bricks were seized, as well as flour and bean material, Yang He was overjoyed, there was not much rice in the team, and the harvest of these flours solved the urgent need, and salt, which was also urgently needed in the army.

He took the blanket that Minister Yang said, and sure enough, there was some silver in it, and there were indeed more than a hundred taels.

At this time, one catty is sixteen taels, and these silver have the appearance of six or seven catties.

There was also a bag of fine salt in the blanket, almost a catty, and a large piece of salt brick, about two catties.

The bag of flour was also brought up and looked at, and it was estimated that it was more than 30 catties.

He instructed: "Zhao Zhongju, the flour and salt are put away, and the horse meat is also processed." ”

Zhao Zhongju hurriedly responded, she was happy in her heart, there was not much salt and rice, and the addition of these materials could be said to have solved a big problem.

There is also horse meat, a horse and horse meat are at least a few hundred catties, and there is the harvest of these two horses, even if the wolf meat is eaten, these meats can be eaten for a long time.

Of course, the quality of the meat must be taken into account, and even in winter, the meat has not been treated with salt, etc., in fact, it will not last long.

Zhao Zhongju happily took people to work, not to mention her, all the refugees were equally happy.

……

A lot of supplies were put down on the horse, and seeing that the horse's back was emptied, Yang He looked at the horse, which was tall, with a trimmed mane and tail, and was as red as fire all over his body, not only a fat horse, but also a war horse.

This made Yang He happy, it was not easy to obtain war horses, among the ten horses, there were almost only one or two war horses.

Especially the kind of fierce horses that can be used in hard formations, they need to be strictly selected and trained, and the general war horses dare not rush in the face of a slightly trained array, but the best war horses, in the face of the strict spear phalanx, dare to rush over.

A war horse that can ride into battle, physique, endurance, and temperament, each of which must be assessed.

He came to the horse, the horse stood obediently, and when Yang He came, he meekly lowered his head to his chest, Yang He comforted it a few times, and took the bag of bean feed, which contained more than 20 catties of bean cake and beans.

It seems that this horse thief takes good care of his horses, which is easy to understand, for horse thieves, the cost of their food is one horse, and the other is a bow and arrow, even if they don't eat or drink, they must let the horses under their crotch eat and drink well.

This is especially obvious among the rogues, whether it is Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, the army has the highest priority to get horses and mules.

Yang He took out a handful of beans and fed the horses, and the refugees watched excitedly, pointing and pointing, at this time, the horses and livestock can be said to be more precious than the BMW Mercedes in later generations, and they have horses in the army, so they can't help but be unhappy.

Han Guan'er suddenly said, "Look, there's a mark on it." ”

Everyone looked, and sure enough, there was a mark on the side of the horse, and there was a symbol in the middle.

Minister Yang recognized: "Dongping, Sun ...... What's in between? ”

Everyone talked about where Dongping was, and some people talked about that mark.

Everyone knows that when a horse reaches the age of one, it is necessary to shear and print a mark, and mark the horse with a red-hot iron, which may be the unique mark of the horse's owner, after all, there are too many people with the surname Sun in one place.

Yan Dezheng said: "Dongping belongs to Yanzhou Mansion, and on the twenty-eighth day of the first month of this year, the thieves Li Tingshi and Li Dingxuan fell into Gaotang Prefecture. Subsequently, Dongping officials Xu advocated rebellion, welcomed thieves into the city and defended it, and was later broken by Liu Zeqing, the head town...... These horse thieves may be the Dongping thieves from that side, or they may still be horse breeders......"

Everyone suddenly realized, Yang He also nodded, Lu Di more horses, especially the implementation of the "people's herds" policy, in Shandong, Jin, Henan, north and south Zhili and other places to set up a large number of horse households, "eleven households in the south of the Yangtze River, five households in the north of the Yangtze River raise a horse." ”

Because of the harsh horse politics, many horse breeders broke their homes, so they turned into various ringing horses, and the famous ones in history are Liu Liu and Liu Qi.

At present, there has been a great drought in Ludi for many years, thieves have come out in all directions, and this year alone there have been several large-scale rebellions, officers and soldiers and thieves are fighting along the canal line, and all kinds of routs and thieves are everywhere, and it is not surprising that some horse thieves have come here.

Yang He fed the horse for a while, and then Minister Yang took over, and his younger brothers and sisters watched excitedly, Yang He picked up his sister Ying'er, let her sit on the horse, and let her clap her hands.

Looking at the horses in front of him, Yang He was happy in his heart, with horses, it would be convenient to travel, and his combat effectiveness would soar.

He fantasizes that it would be nice to have a horse team cavalry, but this is not easy, the cost of raising horses is not cheap, a horse needs fifteen catties of hay and three liters of beans for a day.

There are horses that definitely want people, people eat horses and chew, people and horses equipment, and I don't know how much it will cost to calculate.

It's okay to have a horse, but the point is that you can't get it.

In the Ming Dynasty, the official price of a high-grade Mongolian horse in the border market was eight taels, and the folk price was more than ten taels, and until now, the average fat horse has fifty taels of silver, and if it is a well-trained war horse, it is normal for a horse to be eighty taels of silver and one hundred taels of silver.

In these troubled times, who is willing to sell horses and mules to others?

It is normal that you can't buy horses with money, just as you can't buy grain with money.

He sighed in his heart, there was no shortage of horses in the Ming Dynasty, and the horse policy of "people's herdsmen" made the people have a large number of horses, but the result of saving horses for the people was often cheaper for rogues and warlords.

There is also a way and method of government exploitation, but the rogue warlords directly rob it.

In all dynasties, only the Liukou at the end of the Ming Dynasty could form such a large-scale horse team.
