"Patrol, Inspector!" Chen Yue turned around and saw Liu Neng standing in front of him, the continuous military stick of several days of training made this Liu Da Neng much more honest, and there was also a trace of a soldier between the lines, but the temperament of the hanger man on his face was still alive.

"Do you have a problem?" Chen Yue frowned, to be honest, he didn't have much of a good impression of Liu Neng, this person was good at stealing and playing tricks from his face, and he was not a good candidate to be a soldier.

"My lord, I heard that you are worried about gunpowder, the little one is not talented, but I have a recommendation." As if he didn't see Chen Yue's impatience, Liu Neng stepped forward with a smile, but the words he said made Chen Yue's eyes light up.

"Do you have an idea? Say it! Chen Yue was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

"My lord, in addition to the use of gunpowder by the army, the people only use it when they set off fireworks and firecrackers during the New Year's holidays, and the workshops that make fireworks and firecrackers must be strictly controlled by the government, and there is no such workshop in the remote place of Xishan Town, so there is no gunpowder production." Liu Neng was talking nonsense to himself, watching Chen Yue's face get darker and darker.

"But in Xishan Town, there is a person who can make gunpowder, this person was originally a craftsman in the army of Datong Town, I don't know why he escaped from the army and came to Xishan Town, this person is very hidden, except for me Liu Da Neng, I am afraid that no one else knows his details." Liu Neng chattered.

"Where is this man? Who the hell is it? Can you fucking do without ink? Chen Yue grabbed Liu Neng's chest and lifted it up hard, grandma's self is now worried to death, this dog is still hanging his appetite!

"Ahem, my lord, I said, I said, this person is in the inspection of the city, he was originally an old Zhuang Ding, and now you are feeding the horses for your lord!" Liu Neng gasped and said quickly.

"I didn't say it earlier, but there was so much nonsense." Chen Yue put Liu Neng down, turned around and walked towards the backyard, he already knew who Liu Neng was talking about, it must be the old man named Li Xiong.

After capturing the Zhao family's compound, Zhao Li's family was all kicked out, and his family's servants and servants were also dismissed. Most of them were people from the vicinity of Xishan Town, and each person gave some money and went back to their respective homes. However, there are some people who are reluctant to leave, these people are not locals, and there is nowhere to go if they leave. There were a dozen of them, seven or eight women in their thirties and forties, and five or six older men.

Chen Yue put Feng in charge of managing the women, doing some work in the inspection department, washing, scrubbing, cleaning and cooking, while the rest of the men raised horses for themselves under the leadership of an old man named Li Xiong.

The nine war horses of the complacent Eight Banners, plus the mules and horses of Zhao Lijia's family, totaled fifteen or sixteen, and they really needed to be fed by special people. And it seems that Li Xiong has done a good job, at least the war horse has not lost weight in the past few days.

"My lord, I have recommended you a candidate to make gunpowder, can you be kind and let me enter the night without collecting it?" Seeing Chen Yue leaving straight away, Liu Neng hurriedly shouted.

Since the formation of the team, Chen Yue knows the importance of sentinels, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, how to know the other side when the two armies are fighting? It's the sentinels. Therefore, Chen Yue planned to select some people from the army to form his own sentry team, whose name was called Night Bu Harvest according to the practice of the Ming Border Army.

To be able to become a person who does not collect at night, he must be very good in all aspects, and he must undergo special training, and his combat skills and riding skills must be first-class, Chen Yue plans to allocate seven of the nine war horses and leave them for the purpose of training sentry scouts, leaving only two as his own and Yang Zhengping's mounts.

Since the night is the elite in the army, the treatment is of course much higher than that of the people, the treatment is equivalent to that of the flag officer, and the military salary subsidy is twice that of ordinary soldiers. I didn't expect that this Liu Da Neng was really well-informed, and as soon as he released the news, he had the idea of not closing it at night!

"As long as you can pass the training of combat skills and horsemanship, you can enter the night without receiving!" Chen Yue threw out a sentence from afar.

A smile appeared on Liu Neng's face, "It's just combat skills and riding skills, can you still stump me Liu Da Neng?"

In the backyard stable, the clicking sound of guillotines and grass continued, one person carried the handle of the guillotine, and the other person filled a large handful of hay, with the click, the sparse grass appeared on the other side of the guillotine, and the two worked closely together.

A man in his forties was carrying a dustpan and pouring the stirred hay into the manger one by one. Stirred soybeans and forage, and some eggs, these horses are better than people eat.

At first, Chen Yue didn't know how to raise horses, and the captured war horses were only in his hands for a few days, and they lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If you want to fight a decisive battle on the battlefield and chase the north, you can't do without cavalry, Chen Yue knows that sooner or later he will have to establish a cavalry, and cavalry can't do without war horses, and raising war horses is a science, which every cavalry must master. So whenever he has free time, Chen Yue will come to the stable, personally take care of his jujube red horse, and establish a relationship with it.

"Your Excellency, you're here!" Li Xiong greeted Chen Yue respectfully, and gently handed the dustpan in his hand to Chen Yue.

Chen Yue nodded, came to the jujube red horse manger with a dustpan, grabbed a handful of hay and stretched it out, the jujube red horse stretched out his head, stretched out his tongue and rolled it in Chen Yue's palm, and rolled the hay into his mouth. The rough tongue licked in the palm of his hand, numb and itchy, Chen Yue couldn't help but smile.

"I heard that you used to be a military household in Datong?" Chen Yue grabbed another handful of forage and fed it out, and casually said to Li Xiong, who was standing behind him.

"Spare your life!" With a pop, Li Xiong behind him knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Yue repeatedly.

Well? Chen Yue looked back in surprise, not understanding why Li Xiong was so panicked and scared by his words.

"I beg my lord to spare my life, I really can't survive in Datong, so I escaped." Li Xiong kowtowed repeatedly, his wrinkled face full of panic.

"Spare your life!" Several other men who were in the grass also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Yue repeatedly.

Oh, Chen Yue then remembered that it was his identity that made these people so afraid.

Isn't it the duty of patrol to capture deserters, prisoners, and thieves? This Li Xiong and a few people are deserters from Datong Town, and they are naturally afraid of being exposed by their own patrol inspectors.

"Hehehe, you don't have to be afraid, as long as you do things for me honestly, I will not pursue the past things, and the identity of the deserter will be erased for you here by me!" Chen Yue's words were no less than the sound of heaven to Li Xiong and others.
