Chapter 42: The Reward (I)
At the beginning of the liberation of the more than 2,000 freed slaves, Feng Youcai examined each of them to ensure that there was no spy from another force. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Let Zheng Hao set aside a piece of land for them to live in Zhenguanbao, and they can only live in tents for the time being, but fortunately, the food is very good, and they explained it clearly, there is no extra house now, and it will be built after spring, and everyone has no complaints, and now the young master has done well enough.
At the same time, let Zhang Yang and Zheng Hao educate them ideologically, and keep their identities strictly secret, just say that they are exiles, otherwise the news will leak and attract the revenge of the Mongols, and for the time being, this small fort will not be able to resist the large army of the Mongols; Even if the Mongols don't come for revenge, the Ming court will hand over our people to the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan in order to appease the anger of the Mongols. All the people swore to keep it secret, they were lucky to be rescued this time, how could they do something unfavorable to the young master. And the young master also avenged them, seeing that the young master had killed so many Mongolians, the hatred was much less, now it is important to take care of the body first, the body deficit is too much.
For the light cavalry hundred-man team that escorted back, it was directly placed under the management of Commander Feng Jun.
For the war horses ridden back by the more than 2,000 rescued slaves, except for the 200 horses left for the field army and the security army to train riding, the other more than 2,000 horses were all exchanged for the system, otherwise he really couldn't afford to raise so many war horses.
I went to the barracks again to see the newly recruited soldiers, Zhao Gaoming said: "Young master, the overall quality of this batch of soldiers is still good, I have inspected them, and they all meet the requirements of the security army, but the number is too small, when will I become the commander of ten thousand soldiers." “
"I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about, what are you going to eat when you recruit 10,000 people? You raised it, don't you take your time in everything, let's train these 500 people first. “
"Yes, young master"
On the evening of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Feng Youcai came to Ningxia, and saw that there was still a lot of grain in the warehouse, and after communicating with Lu Buqiang, he learned that the grain was sold very slowly after the Spring Festival, and he slowed down the grain in the warehouse and took away the silver. Feng Youcai went back with confidence, and when he left, he asked them not to forget the things in Xi'an.
When there was nothing to do, Feng Youcai summed up the harvest of this robbery again, robbed a total of 12 tribes, and all the materials have been exchanged for points, and went out to synthesize so many troops, and now there are 270,000 points in the system, and there are very few meritorious achievements, only 12,800 points have been obtained, and there are still more than 70,000 points of merit left to upgrade, it can be seen that it is getting more and more difficult to upgrade, and it is necessary to kill 70,000 civilians or 35,000 soldiers to upgrade.
The existing troops can definitely sweep the entire Ningxia Town, but the main forces in the system hall are: Hao Zhan has 1 heavy cavalry commander under his command, and he has jurisdiction over 4 heavy cavalry thousands; 1 captain of light cavalry, in charge of 4 light cavalry thousands; Bao Ying has 4 commanders under him, and he is in charge of 4 light cavalry thousands; There is also 1 army 10,000 troops in Wansheng, which governs 9 army 1,000 teams; The total number of troops is close to 36,000 people, which is enough for the time being.
It's okay now, Feng Youcai still has a feeling of unfinished, this time he just created a contradiction between the Tumut tribe, the Dalat tribe and the Urat tribe, reduced their war potential, and reduced the pressure on Yanchi and Lingwu, the pressure on the western part of Yinchuan has not been reduced, if Yinchuan is lost, the grain store he just opened will be considered a waste. And when he was in the Houtao Plain, he promised to rob the Alxa tribe.
So on the morning of the 18th, he called Zhang Yang to his study to discuss the matter of attacking again, preparing to raid the Alxa tribe.
Zhang Yang said: "Yes, young master, at this point in time, the Mongols will definitely not think of us going to raid, but Alxa is relatively poor, the environment is relatively bad, and the harvest may not be as many points as the last raid, but it is not bad to earn some merits." Idle is idle anyway. “
When Feng Youcai and Zhang Yang were discussing another raid on the Alxa tribe, the sergeant on duty came in and reported: "Young master, there is a soldier outside who said that he wants to see you from Qianhusuo. “
"Didn't he say anything?"
"Young master, he didn't say what it was, he just said he wanted to see you."
"Okay, let's bring him in."
"Yes, young master"
After a while, the sergeant on duty led a soldier into the study, waved his hand, and asked him to go down and continue his duty. Feng Youcai said: "I am the 100 households of this 100 households Feng Youcai, may I ask if you are from 1000 households?" “
"Yes, my lord, I was sent by Huang Qianhu, this is a letter he wrote to you, please see!"
Zhang Yang took the letter and handed it to Feng Youcai. Feng Youcai opened the letter, read it, and handed it to Zhang Yang.
Feng Youcai shouted outside the door: "Someone! “
The soldier on duty came over and saluted and said, "Young master, what are your orders?" “
"You go and inform my guards to go to Qianhusu in a while, and also inform Feng Jun to send a cavalry team of 100 people to Qianhusuo together, and set off in half an hour, and at the same time you take this brother down to eat something and drink some tea to rest, and go back together in a while."
"Yes, young master"
"Strategist, what do you think the reward will be? Why did you come so late to seal the reward, there won't be anything else, right? “
"Young master, don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Then I'll be relieved." Feng Youcai said: "Take care of it at home." “
"Yes, young master"
The cavalry hundred-man team of 113 people, plus 11 escorts, plus Feng Youcai and Qianhu's heralds, a total of 126 people, rode to Qianhu, a total of 30 miles of travel, walked for 3 hours, or to take care of the heralds, or it would be faster.
When I came to the Thousand Households, I saluted Huang Zhen first and said hello.
Huang Zhen smiled happily: "Your child is getting more and more well-behaved, it's the New Year, if you don't invite you, you won't come." “
"My lord, you have wronged me, I have been busy lately, and it is not all for everyone's good New Year."
Feng Youcai also saw another person sitting in the living room.
Huang Zhen said happily: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, this time I called you to give you the imperial court reward from the previous year, you know, the general army has been busy in the past half a year, and the military department is also busy, and now the reward is approved, you see." As he spoke, he handed the list to Feng Youcai.
43 heads, 13 adult soldiers, and a reward of 260 taels of silver; 30 juvenile Mongol heads, a reward of 300 taels of silver.
"My lord, why are there so many rewards, I still don't think there is a blockade. Why didn't you tell me before, it's a loss, it's a loss. ”
"You haven't asked me before," Huang Zhen said, "What's the loss?" ”
"If nothing else, what about the silver?"
"You just take the list to the warehouse to get it, it's already in the warehouse."
"Okay, thank you, sir, I've been really poor lately, so I'll rely on this money to save me."
