Chapter 974: The Role of the Miscellaneous Legion

（o974）

Today's second update is delivered!

The military households of the Xuanfu are suspicious of Zhang Zhun's promise, and if these words come out of other people's mouths. However, these words came from Zhang Zhun's mouth, and they no longer had any reason to doubt. If you want to say who has the most credible credit at this time, it must be Zhang Zhun.

In fact, what they are looking forward to day and night is Zhang Zhun's three promises. They did not follow Emperor Chongzhen to the south, just to wait for Zhang Zhun's arrival. With Zhang Zhun's three promises, they will have hope for the future. The hard days of the past can be regarded as the end. Speaking of which, the old days were really unbearable!

The climate in the surrounding areas of Xuanfu is indeed somewhat arid, and the precipitation is scarce, which cannot be compared with the Central Plains. Coupled with the effects of the Xia Ice Age, the drought situation seems to have become even more severe. Some of the more Xia rivers have basically broken down. However, this does not mean that the area around Xuanfu is completely uncultivateable and completely devoid of grain production.

In fact, in the territory of Xuanfu, there are also a lot of fields in the féiwo, especially on the banks of the Sangan River, there are a large number of féi fields. To the north of the Yan Mén Pass, the only large area of cultivated land is here. Although there is a gap between the output and the hinterland, and the general yield per mu is only more than 200 catties, it is entirely possible to meet the needs of Xuanfu as long as it is cultivated well. After all, the population around Xuanfu is also very small.

Soon, all the military households dispersed. Next, there will naturally be someone to guide them, how to implement the "Juntian Order" of the Tiger Ben Army, how to measure, how to distribute, and how to get their own land. Later, they will be given cattle and seeds, farming tools, food, and winter supplies to help them survive this difficult winter. It seems that this winter should not be easy either.

In the end, only one person remained on the school grounds. He was a young soldier, about twenty years old, tall and burly, with a naked body and many scars. People who are experienced in combat, from a long distance, can deduce what kind of weapon caused the scars on his body.

I don't know why, Zhang Zhun felt that this military household seemed a little strange. The other party looks a little dumbfounded, but it doesn't look like he's completely dumbfounded. As for what he thinks in his heart, Zhang Zhun can't figure it out. He raised his voice and said, "Why don't you leave?" ”

The young soldier's reply was equally loud. He said loudly: "I want to say a few words to adults, I wonder if adults have time?" ”

Zhang Zhun said a little strangely: "What's your name?" What do you want to tell me? ”

The soldier replied loudly: "My name is Wang Dou!" I want to talk to an adult! ”

Zhang Zhun frowned quietly. In his impression, he seemed to have vaguely heard of Wang Dou's name. However, who this Wang Dou is, Zhang Zhun really can't remember. The only thing that is certain is that this name was definitely heard in a previous life.

Look at this Wang Dou, he is burly, his limbs are powerful, and his eyes are quite sharp, he is indeed a soldier. In such an environment of lack of food and clothing, it is indeed too rare for him to have such a burly figure. The military households he saw just now were basically skinny and unable to go to the battlefield at all.

The scars on Wang Dou's body prove that he must be a brave and ruthless character. It is impossible for a person who is disciplined to have so many scars on his body. Most of the scars on his body were knife wounds, and a small number of penetrating wounds should have been struck by arrows. In addition, his face seems to have been burned by fire, and he is a little disfigured.

If these scars were not caused by one's own people, they were left in the fight with the enemy. Judging from these scars, this guy named Wang Dou should have a lot of lives on his hands. I just don't know if it's the xìng life of the méng ancients, or the xìng life of the Tatars, or the xìng life of the Han people themselves.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said quietly, "What do you want to say?" ”

Wang Dou was shocked and said loudly: "There is nothing great about defeating the Tartars. We can beat it too. It's just that we don't have a chance. ”

The people around Zhang Zhun are all disapproving. Some people even wanted to scold this Wang Dou a few words. I really don't know how thick the sky is! In front of Zhang Zhun, he dared to say such a thing, did he want to lose Zhang Zhun's face?

If you really have the ability to defeat the Tartars, the Tartars won't succeed again and again. Every time the Tartars enter the Kou, you Xuanfu, why don't you see a fart? Take the third entry of the Tartars as an example, the army of Xuanfu rushed to the aid of the Beijing Division, and there was no head-on collision with the Tartars. Such a rush to help is a joke!

Zhang Zhun still said quietly: "How old are you this year?" How many years have you been in the army? ”

Wang Dooang said: "I started to replace my father at the age of thirteen and served in the Wanquan Right Guard, and it has been a full ten years now. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, and said thoughtfully: "In this way, you officially served in the first year of Chongzhen. The Tartars have entered the Kou three times, and you Xuanfu don't seem to have any achievements! ”

The meaning of his words is naturally the clearest. Zhang Zhun did mean to question Wang Dou - if you really have the ability, the Tartars have repeatedly entered the prison, you should always have some performance. Don't tell me, you haven't met the Tartars at all, so there's no way to talk about your exploits. If that's the case, the scars on your body are the result of killing your own people.

Looking at Wang Dou's appearance, it seems that he is not an officer in the border army. An ordinary soldier, if he really killed the Tartars, he would definitely be promoted! It is impossible not to have the slightest chance of promotion. At the border pass, a Tartar level is worth fifty taels of silver. Even if half of it is deducted, there are still twenty-five taels!

Moreover, according to the practice of the imperial court, if you kill a Tartar, you must report five. If Wang Dou really killed the Tartar, his boss would definitely report it desperately. However, Zhang Zhun has never heard of any military exploits in the Xuanfu army. There must be something greasy in this.

Wang Dou said with an aggrieved expression: "If I come to be the capital secretary, I will definitely be able to build the Xuanfu into the strongest fortress." If the Tartars want to pass through Xuanfu, it is impossible. However, my superiors don't think that way at all. They were afraid of angering the Tartars, and they had to cover up even the killing of the Tartars. ”

Zhang Zhunhu asked suspiciously: "Cover-up?" ”

Wang Dou said angrily: "That's right! It's a cover-up! It is said that the boss and the Tartar have agreed that as long as we don't take the initiative to go out to provoke the Tartars, the Tartars will not come to mess with us! If we mess with the Tartars, they will come to us for trouble. I once killed three Tartars and four méng ancients, but I was scolded by my boss! I almost ate a military stick! ”

Zhang Zhun was stunned and asked, "Why?" ”

Wang Dou said angrily: "How do I know? Anyway, that's what everyone says! As long as our Xuanfu army does not go out of the city to fight the Tartars, the Tartars will not come to us for trouble! Therefore, the superiors ordered us not to leave the city! Even if you go out of the city, you are not allowed to fight against the Tartars! Otherwise, military law engages! That's right! It seems that Fan Wanjie said it! ”

Silence couldn't help but say: "Wang Dou, you have to talk nonsense!" How can such a thing be born? The enemy is under his nose, and he is not allowed to fight back? ”

Wang Dou said with a sad and indignant face: "Lord Dudu, do you think I am talking about it? I use my head to assure that everything I say is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask other military households. ”

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "You have to come up with convincing evidence." ”

In fact, Zhang Zhun already believed that the situation described by Wang Dou was true. In this era of mixed 1uan, no matter how absurd things are, they will be born. It is not surprising that the high-level leaders of the Xuanfu did not dare to fight with the Tartars, and even maintained a certain tacit relationship with the Tartars. In particular, Wang Dou actually mentioned the name Fan Wanjie.

This Fan Wanjie is the most active Jin merchant in Huang Taiji's records and Tatar trade. Through his connections, the Tartar purchased a large number of iron tools, which were used to make arrowheads and horseshoes. This Fan family is still the leading party of the Tartars every time they enter the Kou. With the help of the Fan family's business network, Huang Taiji also has a good understanding of the situation in the Ming Dynasty.

If every time the Tartars enter the Kou, Huang Taiji will use this Fan Wanjie to intimidate the high-level of the Xuanfu and force the high-level of the Xuanfu to not dare to let go and fight against the Tartars, it is indeed not a difficult thing. The high-level of the Xuanfu, such as Wang Kun of the prison army and Liu Xiao of the governor, were originally soft bones. As long as you keep your own life, where will you care about the arrival of the Tartar?

In fact, every time the Tartars entered the Kou, the strategy they adopted was indeed passive resistance, basically ignoring and ignoring them. If anyone actively resists, the Tartars will attack desperately until they are wiped out. This is also what it means to shoot a bird in the head. Zhao Shujiao of Zunhua and Zhizhou of Baoan Prefecture were all exterminated by the Tartars because of active resistance.

Wang Dou said helplessly: "I have no evidence. However, as long as you catch Fan Wanjie, there will definitely be evidence. ”

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said quietly: "Where is Fan Wanjie, I don't know." However, I would like to ask you a few questions. What would you do if you were the commander of the Commander of the Commander of the Treasury, and the Tartars were to join the Empire? ”

Wang Dou said without thinking: "First, eliminate the weak and retain the strong, and kick out all the useless soldiers." No military households, just pure soldiers. Second, it is necessary to reduce the number of soldiers, eliminate vacancies, and actively recruit soldiers who have the courage to fight to replenish them. Third, actively cultivate the fields, ensure their own food and money supply, and do not count on their superiors. The superiors couldn't believe it. Fourth, forge your own weapons of better quality. ”

Zhang Zhun stared at Wang Dou deeply, his eyes full of suspicious colors. This guy really has some ideas, could it be that he is also a traverser? If he's also a traverser, it's not fun. With Zhang Zhun's xìng grid, he will definitely kill the other party with one shot. He will never allow anyone in this world to threaten his existence.

However, Zhang Zhun looked left and right, and felt that this Wang Dou did not look like a traverser. Of course, superficial judgment is not enough, and it must continue to be tested. Zhang Zhun said casually: "Wang Dou, have you ever seen an iron bird flying in the sky?" ”

Wang Dou said blankly: "A bird made of iron? Flying in the sky? ”

Zhang Zhun smiled mysteriously, and said casually: "Airplane, haven't you heard of it?" Airplanes, ships, cars, tanks, artillery, computers, computers, spaceships, aircraft carriers, atomic bombs, ......"

Wang Dou's face was full of confusion.

The people around Zhang Zhun were also at a loss.

What the hell is the Governor talking about? Why can't you understand a word?

Zhang Zhun gushed endlessly, and at the same time paid close attention to the changes in Wang Dou's expression. As a result, Wang Dou's expression did not react at all. Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully, convinced that this Wang Dou was not a traverser, so he said vaguely: "Oh, I'm just talking casually, and I can't do it accurately." ”

Wang Dou's suspicious gaze fell on Zhang Zhun's body, feeling like Zhang Zhun was an idiot. How is it possible for a bird made of iron to fly in the sky? Isn't this a mushy nong? However, limited to the identity gap between Zhang Zhun and him, he is embarrassed to be so obvious.

After a long while, Zhang Zhuncai said slowly: "Wang Dou, do you want to lead the troops?" ”

Wang Dou said without hesitation: "Of course I want to!" However, if you ask me to fight the court, I will not go. I used to have too many companions, and I didn't want to fight them in the imperial army. It wouldn't be good if you killed them. ”

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "I'll let you fight Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in Shaanxi." ”

Wang Dou immediately said: "Okay! I'll go! ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, and said crisply: "I'll give you an establishment of 5,000 people, you pull the team yourself, and you are responsible for the food and salary!" After the formation of the legion was complete, he quickly drove to Shaanxi and specially went to fight Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong! ”

Wang Dou didn't expect Zhang Zhun to give himself a legion as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was so generous to make himself start from scratch...... Self-made, even the food and salary have to be responsible for themselves, nothing ...... He hurriedly said, "Lord Governor must give me something ......."

Zhang Zhun turned around, raised his hand, took the Tiger Ben Army flag behind him, stuffed it into Wang Dou's hand, and said in a deep voice: "This is what I gave you!" The banner of the Tiger Army! In the future, your legion will be directly under my command! ”

Wang Dou was suddenly stunned. This Zhang Zhun is really generous enough, and his shot is such a big military flag. Dare to be affectionate, at least worth ...... Three coins of silver, right? After Wang Dou reacted, he couldn't help but roll his eyes again and again. Lord Governor, I really admire myself so much.

Zhang Zhun looked at Wang Dou with shining eyes, and said meaningfully: "This is how Li Yan's army was formed, since you have the confidence to defeat the Tartars, don't you have the confidence to defeat Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong?" ”

Wang Dou gritted his teeth lightly and said categorically: "Okay! I'll do it! ”

After that, he stretched out his hand to take the flag of the Tiger Ben Army and carried it on his shoulder.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said encouragingly: "The military households of Xuanfu, you can choose whatever you want." Weapons from all over the Xuanfu, you can choose whatever you want. The materials left by the Xuanfu are whatever you want. ”

Wang Douxing hurriedly said, "Then I'll go." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and waved goodbye.

Wang Dou carried the banner of the Tiger Ben Army and turned around in great strides.

Silently and confused, he watched Zhang Zhun's behavior and movements, and after a long time, he said a little worriedly: "My lord, you let Wang Dou form a team by himself...... In case ...... in the future"

Zhang Zhun smiled faintly and said indifferently: "It's okay, I'm useful." ”

Why did you let Li Yan and Wang Dou form an army? The reason is simple, these two legions are the basis of future colonial aggression. To be more accurate, it is the prototype of the future colonial army. These people must be a little different from the regular Tiger Army.

The Tiger Ben Army, everything is good, just one is bad, and the cost is very high. The salaries and benefits of the officers and soldiers of the Tiger Ben are very good, each soldier is at least two taels of silver per month, plus the cost of the Tiger Ben and the like, each army soldier needs at least fifty taels of silver per year. If it's cavalry or navy, the price is even higher.

If the treatment is too good and the food is too full, there is actually a disadvantage, that is, the hope of fighting will gradually fade. It's like an American GI, and there is not much hope of attacking. It's okay to fight at home, but if you fight abroad, you may have a little problem with your will to fight. During the colonial invasion, it was not very cost-effective to directly use the Tiger Ben army.

However, Li Yan's army is different. Their psychology is already very unbalanced, and they are definitely a few feet behind the real Tiger Army. Everything they have needs to rely on themselves to capture and plunder. Such a unit is most suitable for fighting abroad. Everywhere I went, it was a blank field!

Suppose that if the Blue Dragon Legion and the Li Yan Legion attack the Mughal Dynasty (India) together. Zhang Zhun dared to conclude that the fastest runner must be the soldiers of Li Yan's army. Because they want to be the masters of this land, and all their wealth comes from this land. At the same time, even if they burn and loot this land, it will not have much impact on the image of the Tiger Army.

And the Blue Dragon Legion, which will always belong to the supreme leader of the Tiger Ben Army, is the Central Army. The wealth they plundered, which must be handed over, cannot be hidden. At the same time, they should pay attention to the image of the Tiger Ben Army, and they cannot come 1uan.

Once the troops go abroad to fight, they will not commit any crimes, and the three major disciplines and eight points of attention will all be lies. Depending on the environment, the ban will naturally be different. A group of screaming prisoners, released into the territory of another country, the hope of fighting is the strongest. Russia's eastward expansion is basically dominated by a group of prisoners and hooligans.

As for whether these motley legions will threaten the regime of the Tiger Army in the future, that's a joke. They don't even have a basic Tiger Ben Gun, how can they threaten the Tiger Ben Army? Moreover, these legions, as long as they go abroad, Zhang Zhun will not let them come back. They will forever be in a foreign land, take root and sprout, and spread the seeds of the Han people.
