Chapter 338: Consolidating the Results
ο»Ώ
The chiefs were surprised, and Chao Gai said, "If you don't like it, let's go and see it together." β
The chiefs didn't believe that the Jeju regiment could really annihilate thousands of black wolf riders at once, so they immediately followed Chao Gai over to take a look. I saw that the pit was full of the corpses of black werewolves, and they were bombarded one by one.
Chao Gai said: "This is the fate of the enemy, even the most powerful enemy cannot escape the fate of destruction." β
There are many wolves on the grassland, and the corpses are generally thrown there, and the wolves will eat them up in a few days. However, it was summer, and Chao Gai was worried about causing a plague, so he still used burial and deep burial.
When the people came back, they sat down on the ground, and Chao Gai said, "Open the table." β
Liu Tang and other military generals, accompanied by more than 30 chiefs began to eat, the food in the army is very simple, the staple food is horse meat, but when the stew meat is added dry ginger, garlic, chili, cumin, pepper and other condiments, remove the fishy smell of horse meat, the taste is very delicious, a chief said: "This horse meat is really fragrant." β
Chao Gai said: "It's not that our guys have superb cooking skills, but because the condiments in it are good, come, don't be polite, everyone hurry up and eat." β
Not far away, a group of black werewolf captives came over, about twenty or so people, and they also arranged food for them.
After eating the boiled meat, some barbecued meat was added, and the barbecue meat was added with cumin and chili, and the taste was not the same as the taste of barbecue on the grassland. After eating, each person came up with a cup of tea in a white porcelain cup, the original Xinyang green tea, which tasted very authentic.
The chiefs liked it very much, and one of them said, "Can you sell us some of the condiments for boiling meat, roasting meat, and tea leaves?" β
Chao Gai smiled: "The army is not a caravan, and it must not be sold." β
Everyone was very disappointed, and Chao Gai said: "Although the army does not do business, we can exchange a small amount of your cattle and sheep for our tea and condiments." But in the future, you will be a tribe under the jurisdiction of Jeju Tuanlian, and caravans will come often, and you will get real salt, tea, and porcelain. β
"This, is this true? We can exchange cattle and sheep for tea, salt, and so on. The chiefs were delighted.
Chao Gai said: "It's true, you just have to wait and see." When you go back, each of you will be given five catties of tea as a meeting gift. "This kind of fine tea is rare on the grassland, and most of them are tea cakes.
After eating, Liu Tang proposed: "The men on the grassland have always been known for their bravery, and they are good at riding horses and archery, so why don't you send a warrior from each of the chiefs to play a game." β
As soon as these chiefs heard that they were going to try archery on horseback, which was their specialty, they immediately said, "Yes, yes." How to play. β
Liu Tang said: "Set up ten straw men from a distance, and the warriors rode over to see who shot the most straw men. β
All the people agreed, and each sent a warrior on horseback with arrows. Jeju also sent a warrior to the regimental training, who, Pang Wanchun.
There were thirty-six people in all, and there were ten scarecrows standing on the side, and thirty-six horsemen rushed over, and immediately the warriors bent their bows and shot arrows, and everyone applauded fiercely.
For the sake of notarization, the chiefs of the various tribes were present when the bows and arrows were examined, which is not a good sight. Pang Wanchun shot a total of ten arrows and hit the faΓ§ade of ten scarecrows. The other warriors were not bad either, some shot three scarecrows, some shot two scarecrows.
All the chiefs praised one after another: "Pang Wanchun's arrows are so powerful." β
Pang Wanchun was also not modest, and said: "Shooting a fixed target is trivial, and shooting flying things is the ability." β
One of the chiefs said, "Our army is here, and even the birds dare not fly here." β
Li Kui said: "What are you shooting birds for, shoot fruits, come on, Pang Wanchun I throw it into the sky, you shoot it." β
Li Kui said and found an open place, threw fruit high in the sky, Pang Wanchun bent his bow and arrows, swish, swish. Li Kui threw five fruits, and Pang Wanchun shot five fruits.
The chiefs of the tribes applauded: "Marksman, marksman." "None of the warriors in the tribes are willing to come out to compete, and Pang Wanchun is the leader.
Li Kui said again: "I heard that the men on the grassland are good at wrestling, why don't you let us see it." β
Speaking of wrestling, these tribal warriors are cola, the grassland people have been playing this since they were children, who are they afraid of wrestling, and more than 20 good players immediately came out.
Jiao Ting next to Chao Gai said, "I'll go play with them." β
Chao Gai nodded: "Okay, let's go." β
Jiao Ting, Li Kui, and Bao Xu can make the warriors on the grassland scared, especially Jiao Ting, who wants strength and strength, and skill and skill, and these grassland men who fall are convinced.
Liu Tang said: "We are military and civilian, and we will all be our own people in the future." The barracks are not open every day, so let's make an exception and let you see the power of our artillery. β
The chiefs said: "I have heard that artillery is powerful, but I have never seen anything before, and it is impossible to ask for it." β
Liu Tang immediately arranged, and naturally had to go to an open place to open the artillery, arranged twenty tiger squat cannons, loaded them with ammunition, and fired the cannons with an order, the cannons roared, the gunpowder smoke was billowing out, and the timid chief was almost scared to pee his pants, oh my god, this cannon was too loud.
Chao Gai looked at the sky, the sun was about to set in the west, and these tribes were far away. Chao Gai said: "Chiefs, it's not early today, so you all go back." But before I do that, I'm going to dispose of these twenty captives. β
Twenty captives were tied up by the flowers, and one by one they thought they were going to be executed, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring.
Chao Gai said: "You black wolf bandits, don't graze, don't farm, live by robbery, the real crime deserves death, you should be the head of the public." But you are also bewitched by the bandit leader, so let you go today, you go back, tell the bandit leader, and say that the tribes here have all been attached to the Jeju Tuanlian, as long as he dares to take another step, even if he chases him to the ends of the earth, he will take his life. β
The black werewolf captives were overjoyed when they saw that they were going to be released, and they were originally righteous and awe-inspiring, but now they knelt down to thank them.
Chao Gai arranged horses for them and let them go.
The faces of the chiefs were ugly, no one expected that Chao Gai would come to this hand, and those who wanted to play with the grass on the wall naturally cut off the door.
For the next few days, the Rangers searched for the whereabouts of the Black Wolf Riders, but as if they had disappeared, they could not be found.
Chao Gai immediately ordered to stay and consolidate the results of the battle, and not to rush north.
5,000 strong men were transferred to build a road from the Tunu River outpost to this place, and there was no reinforced concrete in these years, and the roads were all rammed earth, and they were built quickly. Two thousand craftsmen built an outpost here according to the important terrain that Liu Tang was looking for.
Caravans also came, bringing cartloads of salt, tea, porcelain, and ironware. The exchange with the various tribes attached to Jeju Tuanlian was mainly cattle and horses, and sheep were not suitable for long-distance transportation, and generally required sheepskins. In addition to these essential things, there are also some cloth, rice, condiments, peanuts and other goods, which are also very popular with the grassland people. In addition to the caravan trade, which allowed the steppe people to get real benefits, they also opened a tent medical hall. Five skilled doctors and ten nurses make up this grassland medical hall. Teaching the herdsmen to prevent and cure diseases, the fee charged is very low, and it is generally only a lamb's skin, a hare skin, such a worthless thing to the steppe people. The medical conditions of these ignorant and backward steppe people have been greatly improved. Some steppe people, who have never been dewormed since they were young, were shocked when they ate the grassland and pulled out countless roundworms.
Then there are two tent primary schools, and children from nearby tribes can go to school for free to learn culture if they want to. Of course, this is a pilot and is not mandatory.
The farms in the central part of the country were short of cattle and horses, but now they have plenty of livestock. However, Chao Gai plans to vigorously develop Heilong Island, and at least 100,000 agricultural people must be immigrated, so the more cattle and horses, the better.
The military horse farm of the military camp, where more than 6,000 horses graze happily, the land of Heilong Island is fertile, the rain is sufficient, and the grass is more than one meter deep, which is very suitable for the growth of horses.
Chao Gai was very happy, and took Liu Tang, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng to ride horses and watch quietly beside him.
Chao Gai said: "Although the artillery is powerful, then it can only hold on and attack, and we can't fight if the enemy doesn't come over." Your reclamation camp shall increase the number of cavalry. β
Liu Tang said: "How much expansion?" β
Chao Gai stretched out three fingers: "Three thousand." To form an ironclad cavalry, it takes at least a thousand people, and our cavalry knives and spears are a bit of a disadvantage compared to these steppe maces, so let's also use maces to see who is more powerful. β
Liu Tang pouted and said, "Okay, I promise to complete the task." β
It is also easy to recruit more than 1,000 men from the local nomadic tribes, and then 2,000 from the original infantry who are proficient in horseback riding. Just recruit another 2,000 recruits to replenish the infantry.
The five hundred archers led by Pang Wanchun also temporarily rode on their horses, changed their short bows, and became cavalry archers.
Pang Wanchun had experience in leading cavalry, and he was also proficient in horse warfare.
Li Kui said to Chao Gai: "We also want war horses, and we also need to change cavalry." β
Chao Gai couldn't cry or laugh, this Li Kui was like a child who didn't grow up.
"You are infantry, what do you want to do with war horses, don't look at the grassland suitable for cavalry, when you really go to the mountains, it is still the world of infantry, and besides, you have become cavalry, who will protect our artillery."
Li Kui pouted and said, "Then I don't care, when we march, we always follow their cavalry to eat ashes." β
"Let's go back after fighting on Black Dragon Island, and then you will have to become infantry, if you are willing to stay on Black Dragon Island, you will also be converted into cavalry." Chao Gai said.
Li Kui's eyes rolled and he thought about it, this matter is not cost-effective, birds don't in this place on Black Dragon Island, even if they can bring a few thousand more soldiers, they are not willing to stay.
Li Kui said: "Okay, our battalion will continue to be infantry." β
Li Kui can't be idle, as soon as he is idle, he has nothing to think of, and Chao Gai has to find something for them to do.
