In addition to Shi Kefa, Xu Shiqi also took a few staff, and the imperial court sent Jinyi guards to follow, as well as a team of Beijing camp soldiers, when leaving Zhangjiakou, Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, sent another team of soldiers, adding up to more than 100 people, Xu Shiqi had no way to sit in a sedan chair on the grassland, and Yusheng's Zhangjiakou branch originally asked for a few carts for them, but was sternly rejected by the cautious Xu Shiqi...... Of course, it is much more comfortable to ride in the car, who knows if it will be a taboo of a big guy? For the sake of a good future, it's better to eat some hardship.??
Qingcheng is in sight, from the place where everyone just looked is a few miles away, more than 100 people are walking on the grass under the sunset, all the places around the front and back are a piece of green grass, in the place where they came, there are faint traces of the road flattened by many people and cars and horses, but it is also very shallow, after all, the scope of the road repair with Yusheng has not yet extended to Qingcheng.
In the left-hand direction of the people, there is some barren farmland, which is still twenty or thirty miles away from the major bansheng land, which should be the land opened by a few Han or Mongols to grow grain and vegetables for the Mongolian nobles and lamas in Qingcheng to enjoy.
Xu Shiqi glanced at the farmland and said: "I heard that the Bansheng land in Beiyu is also very large, and it is known as plugging the south of the Yangtze River, but it seems that today, after all, there are still many rumors." β
Shi Kefa is also slightly jawed, and most of the routes arranged for them by Yusheng are detours, without passing through the hinterland area, they have passed through the Bansheng Land, but after experiencing the devastation of the war, the Bansheng Land is also barren and withered, and of course it is a serious mismatch in the eyes of people.
Banshengdi is indeed famous, it is a famous granary of the Mongolians in history, the production is very rich, the grain and vegetables are the big heads, the grassland does not produce grain, and there are no vegetables, the number of Beiyu supplied by Banshengdi is large, and the fame is of course very great. Lin Dan Khan's idea of fighting Tumut, one of the main driving forces for moving west was to obtain the Bansheng land, and use the Bansheng land to enrich the strength of the Chahar Department, but Lin Dan Khan was unlucky, and he encountered a snow disaster as soon as he took Qingcheng.
"Hmph, but that's it." Xu Shiqi's contempt for He Yusheng added a few points.
However, the military station in front of them still opened their eyes.
Because it is a detour through the core area, a large number of farmland, tunbao, military platform, military fort, and the road built in the past two years they have not seen, but Qingcheng has several military stations along the way, and there are large cars running back and forth, which can't hide from others.
The military station in front of me is a large military station that is transferred several miles out of the city, the place is very large, covering an area of dozens of acres, and there are dozens of houses, hundreds of soldiers are holding fake strips here to transfer, the soldiers are wearing neat and uniform robes, carrying military blankets on their backs, and there are a lot of bits and pieces hanging on the cow belt around their waists, and some soldiers who have just arrived at the military station have not yet eaten, and are queuing up to eat with iron cans, and the aroma of food is permeated all around.
Xu Shiqi smelled the aroma of the food, and the attachΓ©s and soldiers of the Ming army also smelled it, these soldiers were all strong men selected from the Jinyi Guard, the Xuanfu Army, and the Beijing Camp soldiers, who were originally in the army and were able to eat enough, but after traveling, they could only eat the food, and everyone did not eat well.
", it's good to eat!"
"There is meat and vegetables, is this the New Year?"
"Damn, when you are a soldier and eat food, look at what we eat and what people eat."
There was a buzzing sound from the soldiers of the Ming army, until a Beijing battalion could not hear it, rode his horse closer, and shouted: "Shame on people, shame on people? If there is a restaurant in the city, Lao Tzu will pay for the two meat steamed buns for you. β
The soldiers were speechless, but there was still envy in their eyes.
Because not only the food, but also the clothing and use of the merchant soldiers are much stronger than them. People's robes are all unified system, cut very well, some objects decorated on the robe, epaulettes, badges, copper buckles, cowhide belts, military boots, these objects are matched together, I feel a very beautiful and masculine feeling, especially a group of hundreds of people together, it is a pleasing feeling.
It felt good for the merchant army, everyone wore the same clothes, the same things on their bodies, iron cans for cooking and water bladders for drinking, cowhide bags with bits and pieces, two leather boxes with medicines, knives or bayonets hanging from their waists, hats on their heads, and military blankets tied up behind them...... Everyone is exactly the same, only the content on the epaulettes and badges are different, but after all, it is a military station, and most of them have the same military rank.
Being in this group, this makes people feel very good, there is a sense of blessing and glory, life and death, the sense of honor of the whole group, mutual trust, and reliance, are all unconsciously enriched by small details.
And the feeling of the Ming army is not good, some people wear the uniforms of the Beijing battalion soldiers, some are local military towns, and there are brocade guards, the colors are different, the patterns are different, messy, the robes of the ordinary Beijing battalion soldiers and border soldiers are very shabby, most of the dyed colors have faded, and the things that each person carries and uses are also different shapes, simply put, compared with the soldiers of the merchant army, it is already a carefully selected Ming official army, and it still seems to be a group of people called Huazi.
Xu Shiqi and Shi Kefa dismounted together, both of them frowning and looking at everything in front of them.
Shi Kefa took a few glances first, and saw that every sergeant of the merchant group was eating meat and white-flour steamed buns, and couldn't help but say: "It is said that businessmen can't do great things, but there is always an advantage: money." β
Xu Shiqi reluctantly said: "That is, it should be rich and generous." β
The two were speechless for a moment, and walked into the rooms of several military stations to watch.
The military ticket was being checked there, and the two of them looked at it casually, and the military ticket was written with the soldier's place of origin and department, and the handwriting was clear, as if it was printed, and the key places, such as the date, were filled in by hand.
More than a dozen blue-robed officials were checking one by one, and then stamped their seals, and the soldiers who got the review grinned, happily carrying their backpacks and walking out.
The open space outside the door is marked with numbers, and the carriages and horses are parked well, and each cart can carry as many as twenty or thirty people.
The two Ming people saw that the cards and tickets approved by the soldiers had the words "number of numbers", and then they understood what they meant.
The approved soldiers arranged the train, and then waited for the car by their own position and number, and some soldiers had time to go, and after getting on the car, the coachman would close the door, and then whip the horse, this kind of car ** car is pulled by four healthy horses, whether it is starting or leaving very stable.
The two of them couldn't help but change color in horror when they saw that each soldier would sign with a pen and then find their place by the numbers on the military ticket.
A group of Ming army generals who followed the two of them also saw it, and the expressions on their faces were very shocked.
Xu Shiqi turned to the capital of Jingying and said, "Lord Qian, I heard that you can read the book of soldiers?" β
Du Si looked smug and replied, "Exactly." β
Then he looked panicked again, because there was a group of merchant soldiers waiting for the car in the corner of the house, several soldiers were holding books and reading, and another soldier was holding a hard pen to write on the black powder wall, teaching another group of soldiers to read.
Xu Shiqi looked at the rest of the generals again, and all the generals turned their faces...... Nine out of ten military generals of the Ming Dynasty are illiterate.
Everyone here had no intention of staying any longer, and hurriedly exited the door.
"It's amazing." Jingying Dusi wiped his sweat when he went out, and said: "It seems that everyone in the business group practice can read and write!" β
Everyone was speechless, and one of the generals wanted to refute it, but he didn't know what to say.
Xu Shiqi's face turned pale, because he felt that he had never heard of the book that a soldier had read just now, and he glanced at it a few times on the side, but he couldn't understand it!
I understand the meaning of each word, but I don't understand the meaning of a line of words together, and after reading a paragraph, I am even more confused!
Of course, Xu Shiqi will not take the initiative to say this, he is a jinshi, the top level of scholars in the world, all the jinshi in the world are in a group, if he dares to say this, he will immediately become a shame of Shilin, and he will not think about any future in this life.
The crowd went to another room, and it felt even worse!
The five-bay house has several rows of shelves from east to west, and there are hundreds of kinds of goods on it, and all the shelves are full of goods, and the goods are very complete.
A group of generals cheered and rushed to a shelf where weapons were kept.
Leather armor, cotton armor, chain armor, iron scale armor, piercing armor, and shiny breastplate.
These armor is now for ordinary soldiers, the armor is only rationed with cotton armor or leather armor, if there is a soldier who wants to match himself with more layers of armor to improve the safety factor, he can use the internal price, that is, the price of armor close to the cost price, of course, can not be given to outsiders, nor can it be sold to outsiders.
"This ......"
The guerrilla general from Xuanfu can swallow goose eggs with his mouth open! What he brought up was two breastplates, the bright armor body, which looked very thick and strong, and this kind of armor gave people the feeling of being very safe and making people feel good.
"I'm afraid it weighs thirty pounds, one side and one piece, it's not put together, this, how is this created?"
"This must be extremely expensive!"
"Ben will feel that the cold-forged armor is not as good as these two pieces of armor."
Guerrilla pointed to the nail and said to a clerk: "How much does this nail cost?" β
The clerk said: "The goods in this store are only civilian goods to the outside world, and all military goods are not open to the public." β
The generals of the Ming army were stagnant, and a military general was pulling out a long knife, admiring the narrow sharp and thick knife body, as a martial artist, the weapon in front of him was simply art.
As soon as he heard that it was not, the general reluctantly put the long knife back.
In addition to armor and weapons, there are all kinds of military, canned, iron chopsticks, knives and forks, spoons, kettles, water bladders, as well as military blankets, tents, helmets, hats, military uniforms, these things are for soldiers, and the price is very low.
With a high salary and sufficient supplies, a military general patted his leg and said: "No wonder those soldiers outside are all dressed so brightly, and the weapons are very good, so it is!" β
