Liaoxi, Zhenbei Yi.

Fire Chief Hewei? Some embarrassed looked at the visitor in front of him, this was the first time he had received news from his hometown, and he couldn't help but be a little at a loss.

He was a Huaidong sergeant from Anton, and came from a typical family of Northland feudal people.

According to the traditional saying, the dry city of the feudal state is called the minister, the second is the general, and the third is the country and the people; He happened to be in the last sequence, as for the Tu, the naturalized and the vassal slaves, can that be counted in the sequence of normal people?

Compared with the Luo clan and the Xue clan in the southern part of Andong Province, it is said that the most prosperous and civilized elite area, and the history of most of the princes in the northeast corner of the country is only two or three hundred years.

These places are remote and bitterly cold, and the output and harvest of the land are quite limited. Therefore, the feudal clans that have been run by lineage in these places can be said to be poor and tough from top to bottom.

In most cases, it can only rely on, for example, special products such as furs and medicinal materials in the mountain, as well as some relatively rare mineral deposits such as jade, gemstones, and sand gold, as important daily inputs.

Therefore, these princes of the northern land have been subject to the princes of the rich and warm areas in the south led by the Luo clan and the Xue clan for a long time.

Because, the caravans, capable of large-scale exchanges, and the corresponding bargaining power, are always in their hands. The daily necessities such as iron and salt needed in the domain also needed to be transferred and imported by the southern sea route.

Although the Northland princes had coastal ones, they did not have the ability to build ships and sail in addition to the needs of inshore fishing. Therefore, in the long run, I have become accustomed to this kind of vassal role in exchange for the special tribute and human service in the domain.

And the Yushan Domain, where his hometown is located, is slightly better off in the Northland. This is because the main residential and populated areas of the domain are located near the mouth of the sea where several major rivers converge.

Therefore, as the name suggests, the most common local specialty is fish, the instinct of migrating every year, and the big fish sent to the door can be described as piled up.

Therefore, this domain only relied on the sale of dried fish and other products, and developed into a pattern of five cities and twelve towns in the barren and wilderness in the eyes of others. During the fish season, at least there was no shortage of fresh fish and meat.

However, there were many children in the same feudal households, and the proportion of taxes in the feudal domain was also high, and labor was quite frequent. So, while there are many months of the year when meat is eaten, other times it is tight.

Even, you need to go hunting to supplement it, after all, the Northland has an extraordinarily long winter, and it is impossible to survive it all by dried fish. In addition, the large amount of salt needed to make dried fish also had to be exchanged for a large amount of money from the feudal domain.

Therefore, the impression of being half-hungry has been intermittently shrouded in his memories of growing up, so when he became a little older, he couldn't wait to send him out to serve as an errand boy in the domain to avoid being punished for the name of expropriation.

Then, along with the rest of the clan, he responded to the call of the Da Luo clan, and became one of the various feudal armies that crossed the sea to support the Northern Expedition of Daliang on behalf of Andong Road.

Of course, because of the success of this Northern Expedition, most of these foreign soldiers who came to help the war alliance army were in a worrying situation and were in the process of being defeated one after another; Only he and his third battalion of Anton soldiers were allocated to the left wing of the new army early, and they escaped the doom of destruction.

Then he began his career in the Huaidong Army, and the fellow villagers of the Yushan Domain found him, brought information about his hometown, and at the same time, secretly asked him if he needed followers and subordinates; There are at least a dozen hard-working and hard-working fellow villagers who are willing to fight for this opportunity.

In fact, it was not only him who was troubled, but also many other sergeants from Andong Dao, who were found with various reasons and excuses, knocking on the side and asking if they could find a way out of being a soldier in Huai Town.

Moreover, even the upper echelons of Huaizhen can't stay out of it.

Over the past few days, an endless stream of visitors suddenly appeared, almost turning the camp where the Huaidong Army was stationed into a noisy city.

Therefore, I also stood on the lookout, looking at those helplessly, riding horses or fighting on foot like martial arts, catching and fighting in a few improvised fields.

There is a certain willingness to see the situation and the state of affairs that is happening to me, at least in Roche's.

In the words of Luo Sijin, who hurried back from the south and confided in private; After the war, the Liaohe River valley needed time to recuperate, and it was also beneficial to reduce some similar unstable factors.

After all, the children of these feudal families have been dancing with guns and sticks since they were children, for the needs of going into battle and fighting.

Under the background of the long-term confrontation between the Xue clan and the Luo clan in the past dynasties, they need to fight with the Fan tribe in the grassland outside the mountain, fight with the hostile border army of the Northern Dynasty, prevent the wild people in the white mountains and black waters and the unruly people in the forest, and even compete with the princes of the neighbors for water, fields and hillsides.

But now the situation is somewhat different, and those who have a little insight seem to be able to foresee that the princes of the central and southern Andong families will enter a long period of recuperation in the future.

Not only the conscripted soldiers and husbands from all over the country needed a large number of repatriation places to supplement production activities. In fact, some of the remote feudal families have already begun to pack up and prepare for return.

Even these children of the feudal family, who served as the backbone of the army, will be useless for a long time, although there are many vacant places to place them in the newly occupied eight prefectures of western Liaoning. But not everyone is willing to settle for the status quo and ordinary routines.

In addition, at this time, through the exchange with the Andong soldiers in the Huaidong Army, the treatment and supply standards of the Huaidong Army were spread, and this unexpected result was also produced.

However, for me, the so-called martial arts they have practiced since childhood are actually not of much use, because the Huaidong Army has its own set of tactics and training processes. It relies on the power of collective cooperation and training, not individual bravery.

Under these circumstances, a soldier who had grown up in the Huaidong system and was supplied in batches through collective farms and large workshops could be much more reliable and suitable than the children of these feudal clans with complex origins.

After all, all I need is an army that can command and forbid, form an array to line up and shoot. However, as the so-called Saion lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing, and he was entrusted and asked for a lot, I originally planned to receive a little manpower symbolically, and just use it as a scene to deal with it.

But at this time, a suggestion from Du Shiyi in the army team inadvertently reminded me.

At least there is no shortage of good horses in Andong, and naturally there is no shortage of athletes who are good at domesticating and riding horses, so what has been bothering us seems to have some opportunity to make up for the congenital shortcomings of Huaidong Town in the source of cavalry.

As a result, the criteria for acceptance and selection have been temporarily changed to whether or not you can ride a horse, which is the most basic threshold for selection. At least the standard of the bunker cavalry is put in the melting pot of Huaidong, which has achieved initial results, and I don't believe that it will not be able to transform and temper a qualified cavalry for me.

However, I found myself once again misestimating the situation. For most of the children of the feudal family, the threshold of horseback riding obviously could not stump them. It is said that many people have been sitting in the saddle of their fathers and brothers since childhood, and they have been levied as they patrol the territory with the elders of the family.

As a result, there were so many people who led the horses to recruit that the gates of my camp were blocked, and if we only looked at the number of people, it would not be a problem to temporarily reorganize a battalion and pull it out.

I went back to the Luo side and pondered, and simply took out some of the goods and more precious trophies, and held a competitive martial arts competition in the army on the spot.

In this way, through some behind-the-scenes observation and on-site operations, some inappropriate objects and sources can be eliminated.

Then, I misestimated their determination and actions again, and the hundreds of people who were initially selected were actually hundreds of people who came to the scene, and these guys came with all kinds of followers and subordinates.

Therefore, I had to make a temporary decision to organize into a cavalry auxiliary battalion, at least these followers together, and after a little training and discipline, they still have a set of experience and means in the chores of the army, such as leading, raising and caring for horses.

As a result, the chief veterinarian who was still in Huaidong, Beifeng, had a large group of potential subordinates without knowing it.
