Chapter 187, the fish that slipped through the net
readx;
The impact of the great escape of the military households of Huodun and Shiguantun was very bad, but the rumors were quickly suppressed by the government, Jinyiwei, and Weisuo, even if it was the military households and craftsmen in Laoyangkou Waitun recently, few people knew the news. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, those homeless people under Shiguantun Mountain were picked up in a chaotic manner, but someone saw it with their own eyes, and the chaos of the whole night, it was impossible to completely cover up and be peeped at.
So, this account was recorded on Xiao Ye's head again.
However, the Jinyi guards who were swarmed over on Shiguantun Mountain turned inside and out, and the six corpses that were thrown in the corner were quickly pulled away by the carriage.
Maybe it was the warning on the papyrus that worked, the land temple was only seen twice by the Jinyi guard, and the sergeants left by Chen Ping were not troubled too much, but there were still two teams of sergeants who were transferred back to the gravel fort, and there were only twenty people left.
The Thousand Households no longer allow Shiguantun to recruit military households on the spot, and even the food and salary have been delayed again and again, and there is not even any grain to be delivered this month.
Chen Ping, the chief banner, led two teams of sergeants to clean up the stone fort that had been turned into a mess and guarded it on the stone mountain, which seemed to have been reduced to the role of a fire pier.
Without water umbrellas, the most important thing they do every day is to pull a broken oxcart and go to the back mountain to pull water, which has been monitored by all directions.
At the end of the month, Yin Jian and Jiang Banshuang left Shiguantun, went to Laoyangkou Weitun to meet more than a dozen young soldiers, followed the caravan's carriage to Gansu Town, and from there they were to transfer to Shaanxi Xingdusi.
For the main barracks that are about to be established, because it is the will of the imperial court, the boss does not care, and the guards can only open their eyes and close their eyes to the lost sergeants, but the official decline of the guards began.
Madao Stone Fort, Zhang Zichang was appointed as a centurion, selected 80 young and strong people from the homeless people, plus the sergeants from Huodun, made up enough two centurions, and was taken to Gujiabao, where Wang Hu was stationed, and joined the barracks.
Standing on the castle wall, Xiao Ye looked at the piles of people in the open space outside, and couldn't help but turn black, even Wang Ziliang and Wang Meng beside him were also glazed.
Who would have thought that these homeless people would be able to run to Shiguantun with their foot strength.
The homeless people crowded in the open space, not to mention all of them in rags and scorched faces, eight or nine out of ten of them are old and weak women and children, young and middle-aged men don't say anything, and middle-aged men can't see much.
Without the help of external forces, Xiao Ye would not believe that most of these weak homeless people could walk through the old sheep's mouth with their feet.
"How did they get to Shiguantun?" Similarly, Wang Ziliang squinted and looked down, thinking about it from time to time.
Only Wang Meng, who already had a short beard on his chin, looked at Xiao Ye with an uncertain face, for fear that he would be angry and drive these homeless people away.
Fortunately, although Xiao Ye had his hands behind his back and his fists clenched quietly, he never said anything that Wang Meng regretted.
Crowded with the vagrants in the open space outside the Madao Stone Fort, under the shouts of the sergeants, they were soon taken away in waves, leaving less than fifty people and thirteen households; The shortage of manpower in Eagle Claw Fort and Gujia Fort was a lot more abundant for a while.
The homeless people are registered according to the household, and a single person must also set up a household, and the young children enter the private school, and the rest of the people are included in the logistics team in addition to being selected into the war barracks.
Before that, it was to distribute clothes and dry food to the homeless, which was a large amount of expenditure, and the government directly made Xiao Ye suffer a loss.
The number of military households under Xiao Ye's command has exceeded 30,000 on the books, and the number of soldiers who can fight is not counting the two affiliated tribes, but there are also 4,500, and the rest is to continue training. At this point, he couldn't stop.
However, it seems that the grain in the warehouses of the stone forts is still not enough to meet the three-month reserves.
The addition of a large number of people made Xiao Ye not only strict military discipline, but also unable to spend powerful potions at will, among those homeless people, there were bound to be some spies from all sides, but he had no choice, and he couldn't prevent the fish that slipped through the net, so he could only tighten the fence.
Unlike other sergeants, Xiao Liuzi, who was tortured by the medicine in Xiao Ye's study, did not grit his teeth and struggle, but survived screaming again and again, and put on a black uniform.
Under the meaningful gaze of the guards, Xiao Liuzi became a chief, treated the same as Li Shan and Da Niu, but the three of them were the same as Yang Eighteen, the commander, at the end of the year, they had to accept the challenge of the guards, and those who failed would be replaced.
This is also the reason why those guards do not resist them, those who have the ability to eat meat, those who do not have the ability to drink soup, the position under the buttocks, if you want to sit firmly, you have to compare your fists, and you deserve to be beaten to the point that your nose is blue and your face is swollen.
Xiao Ye couldn't have imagined that the reason why the war barracks under his command, as well as the personal guards and guards, were able to maintain extremely strong combat effectiveness was just that he copied the customs of the grassland, and it had such a great effect.
Either beggars also have a dog-beating stick method, and the Tatars who can continue to develop in the steppe are bound to have their strengths, but they were learned by Xiao Ye.
Junzi Qian's way of living is certainly desirable, but Xiao Ye can only think about it for a moment while drinking tea, and he will never dare to let everyone become obedient, so that he will die one step faster than anyone else.
In Sun Xiaoming's personal guards, he and the ten chiefs are also a test a year, and if they are defeated, they will naturally become pro-guard sergeants, and they can't complain about others.
Of course, a team of more than a dozen female guards in the mansion of the big boss has been married and most of them have been changed, and Luan Fengying is still leading the team, and there is no saying that there is a competition every year.
However, to say that Xiao Liuzi's willpower is stronger than those selected guards, Xiao Ye didn't believe it, and after thinking about it for a day, he called Xiao Liuzi over.
After chatting about the feeling of swallowing the potion, and didn't find anything abnormal, Xiao Ye could only reluctantly give up the idea in his heart, and instead asked about Xiao Liuzi's experience in the war barracks, during the days when he was not by his side, this guy looked a lot older.
"Every day, I drill and work hard, practice fire/gun, and patrol," Xiao Liuzi didn't understand what Xiao Ye meant, and said honestly, "The food sent from the room every day is good, the soup is boiled twice a decade, and the big guys don't want to go home for dinner,"
The corners of Xiao Ye's mouth twitched twice, and he drank tea without saying a word.
"By the way, the blood clots in the room, other people don't like to eat them, but I have eaten a lot, and if I cook it a little, it tastes much better than tofu," Xiao Liuzi who was spitting along the stars said with a greedy face.
"Huh, tell me, that blood clot is so delicious?" Xiao Ye raised his eyebrows and asked casually, his eyes suddenly brightened a little.
"Hey, those centurions, even long, can't get used to the fishy smell of blood clots," Xiao Liuzi saw that the adults were interested, and immediately came to the spirit, and gestured in front of Xiao Ye, "Actually, those blood clots of cattle and sheep, cook for a while, don't be too old, look at the color or light blood to eat, that's a tender,"
Xiao Ye didn't listen to the next words, but secretly calculated them in his heart.
It turned out that this kind of medicine needs a blood clot to base it, but I don't know how much it takes, thinking of this, Xiao Ye waved his hand to stop Xiao Liuzi's words, "That, Liuzi, you go and do something,"
"Go to the outside room, let them slaughter a cow and a few sheep, and send the blood separately, and do it immediately," after a moment of silence, Xiao Ye said decisively.
"Ah, this matter, my subordinates will go now," Xiao Liuzi, who was interrupted, saw Xiao Ye's solemn face, hurriedly bowed his hand and retreated, and hurriedly went to the room.
Half an hour later, Xiao Liuzi hurried back to the mansion of the big boss with two guards and two small wooden barrels; The wooden barrel was filled with scarlet cow and sheep blood, and the strong fishy smell could be asked from afar.
At this time, in the backyard of the big boss, the black-clothed guards had already pulled out the cordon, blocking the corridors between the backyard and the front yard, and even around the courtyard wall in the four directions, there were guards patrolling non-stop.
Mei'er and the others, who had to walk around the backyard every day, took the children and maids, together with the female guards, and were sent by the guards to the front yard wing, where the account office was located.
In Sun Xiaoming's personal guards, two personal guards who had normal physical strength and had never seen a few battles had been brought over; The two guards who knew that they were lucky this time stood outside the study with red faces.
With a personal guard with a strength of more than two hundred catties, they naturally understood the meaning of luck, but the two of them still couldn't wait to stand outside the study.
Although the consequences of taking potions are unpredictable, no one is willing to admit that they are inferior to others, especially the fiercely competitive pro-guards, once they survive the burning of potions, they are superior; Since the guards have opened the door to them, it is still their own life to live or die.
Xiao Ye was reading in the study, and Yang Shiba, who was guarding the door, saw that Xiao Liuzi was bringing someone over, so he pointed to the stone house next to him and said to the two guards, "Brother, go, one person and one bucket, drink the blood of the cow and sheep first, and then pass the customs at night,"
"Yes, the family members of the subordinates will ask the adults to take care of them," the two guards clasped their fists and saluted, striding towards the stone house.
Two buckets of condensed blood were sent in, and Xiao Liuzi followed Yang Eighteen in confusion and stayed outside the stone house, with Yang Eighteen with a cold face beside him, and he didn't dare to ask.
In the study, standing in front of Xiao Ye was Wang Ziliang, "My lord, the scout sent by the shadow team is back, Jiang Jie's old goods are not in his hometown,"
"Even the closest relatives in his hometown have already sold their family property, and I heard that they went to Jingshi," Wang Ziliang's words made Xiao Ye's brows furrow.
"It's been several years since that incident, and it's almost impossible to find anyone in the know," Wang Ziliang said, that is, the incident of his father's attack, still has no clue.
"Well, I know, continue to send someone to investigate, and we must find the murderer," after pondering for a while, Xiao Ye waved his hand to let Wang Ziliang leave.
In the brightly lit stone house, the guards who had only drunk more than ten catties of cow and sheep blood during the day, when the sky was dark, they got the potion handed over by Yang Shibai, swallowed it without hesitation, and jumped into the warm water purification barrel.
In the dark corner, Xiao Ye stood quietly with his hands in his hands, looking at the inconspicuous stone house with his eyes longing.
The row of stone houses next to the study, sitting east and west against the courtyard wall, has a water room and a military house, and the only empty room is the room where he bathes on weekdays.
Sure enough, after a while, there was a muffled snort in the stone house, although the sound was not loud, but it was enough to make Xiao Liuzi's face red, but he screamed too badly.
An hour later, the two guards who were helped out of the stone house sat on the stone bench and rested on the tea cup, and they shouted for food, and they were so hungry that their faces turned pale.
A guard went to the front yard and brought a stack of cold meatloaf and a large bowl of pickled vegetables, which were directly snatched by the guards.
The gobbling guard, Xiao Ye saw it in his eyes, and the irrepressible excitement in his eyes could even be seen by Yang Eighteen.
The huge drawback of taking a powerful potion was solved by a nagging from Xiao Liuzi by chance. Hearing this, Xiao Ye sat in the study and sighed, but it was a pity for those brothers who died in vain.
At this point, Sun Xiaoming's personal guard team has become a transition for the guards to replenish their manpower, and they will eventually be named, and Xiao Ye can let go of his hands and feet to expand his guards.
In just three days, there were thirty more black-clothed guards, and if it weren't for the fact that there was too much meat in the room to deal with, Xiao Ye would have almost slaughtered the cattle and sheep in the stone castle enclosure.
The most important thing is that there is not much medicine left in his hand.
In the courtyard of the big boss's house, a cook finally came, a middle-aged man named Pang Hai, with his elderly parents, wife and children, got into the transport truck in a daze, and was pulled to Madao Stone Fort.
I have to say that Pang Hai's cooking skills were tasted by Yang Shiba, which impressed the guards very much, and after some inquiry, they learned that this chef originally opened a restaurant in his hometown, offended the people in the government, and fled to the countryside without saying anything, and it was good to survive.
The cautious Wang Ziliang learned that Xiao Ye was going to accept this cook, so he quickly sent someone to take Pang Hai away for a day and a night, and with the help of blood food, Pang Hai was embarrassed to survive the test of the potion; The next day, Pang Hai, who was in good spirits, was ordered to start a gang in the house, and began to look for someone to build a stove with five old soldiers.
The personal guards sent more than 20 sturdy young men to help Pang Hai find two corner stone houses, and soon set up a large stove and a board; The remaining knives, dishes, chopsticks, plates, sauces, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, grain, cauldrons, charcoal, etc., just need to go to the shops and warehouses to pull them.
The family can be warm and full, Pang Hai is very grateful to Xiao Ye for taking him in, and the child can go to a private school to study, which makes this cook, who has survived the decoction of the medicine, eager to give up his life to work.
took out the seasonings he brought with him, and under the gaze of Li Shan and several people, Pang Hai started in the room, roasted meat pieces with sesame oil, steamed white chopped chicken, and a few good cool condiments into the water, the internal organs of the beef and sheep have always to be thrown away, but after some washing, they became side dishes, which suddenly made the guards like this round-faced cook.
So, under Xiao Ye's acquiescence, a room was opened in the compound, and the communication team in the front yard could also eat, and there was no need to send someone to carry a food box to the room there in the north for every meal.
However, no one noticed that the emaciated wife who had been following Pang Hai all the time, like the newcomers, had curious eyes, and would look around from time to time, especially when she saw the box cannon magazine hanging from the waist of the black-clothed guard, a glimmer of light faintly flashed in the corner of her eyes.
After arranging the eighth day of the exiles, Xiao Ye took the guards to Eagle Claw Fort, and he had to go to Gujiabao for a few days, in the name of inspecting the various war camps, but the reason inside was not enough for outsiders.
Jin Sanniang was still there in Gujiabao, and the first batch of commercial goods robbed by the knife had also arrived at Bailong Lake, so he naturally wanted to take a look.
Just when Xiao Ye began to be busy going to several war barracks, supervising the drill of sergeants in each battalion, and by the way urging the logistics team to settle the displaced people to do things, far away in the Twin Towers Lake, eight hundred miles to the north, Lanelt had already taken over the territory left by the collapsed wolf tile.
The change of tribal leaders on the steppe is bound to set off a bloody storm, but Lanelt doesn't mind provoking a string of collapsed wolf relatives on his scimitar.
It takes a lot of energy to gather all the tribes, clean up the old tribes and families of the wolf, report the reason to Jinong in the Hetao area, send a large amount of offerings, and contact other captains who are beginning to be uneasy, and the energetic Lanelt is also very busy.
The most important thing is to gather the cavalry that collapsed and scattered in the wolf tile, the big sticks and meat pieces are all down, there are not many twisted Tatars in their heads, they can see which way the wind is going, and the cavalry in more than a dozen tribes picks and chooses, and scatters to form a strong team of 10,000 people, which is the focus of Lanelt's attention, and the others are all false.
Naturally, the artillery team of the collapsed wolf tile was disbanded, and no one cared whether those cannon slaves were dead or alive, which caused Jinong's jealous force, and Lanelt didn't want to keep it in his hands, otherwise he wouldn't let Xiao Ye easily pull away the five bronze cannons.
The death of the collapsed wolf tile was ostensibly due to being attacked and killed by the enemy, but Lanelt knew in his heart that the high merit was for the master, and the ambition was swelled to the extreme and did not converge, which was the result of the arrogance of the collapsed wolf.
However, his 200 personal guards have been expanded to 500, and in the future, he will continue to bring in the young men of his in-law tribe, and the most conspicuous weapons in the personal guards are the rear-loading fire/gun, the three-eyed firecracker, and the short firearm made by the Huang family.
The chaos lasted for more than ten days, and the cavalry gathered in the Shuangta Lake area began to be gathered under Lanelt's tent, and the Tartar Wushan also took the opportunity to return to his own tribe, which had almost killed the cavalry, and was pulled away to become an ordinary cavalryman again.
Ranelte, who was sitting at the head of the big tent, looked at the tribal leaders on the left and right below, and then listened to the thunderous sound of the war horses outside, and the tiredness on his face was swept away.
"Everyone, since everyone is now a family, then in the future, we will share blessings and difficulties, and this leader will not treat me badly," a sharp look swept over each subordinate leader, and Ranelt began to preach again.
Although there is still no reply from Jinong, Lanelt is confident that no one will think of avenging a dead man, and that this is the reality of the grassland.
The leaders sitting below praised their foreheads again and again, but Lanelt was not good at words, and could not bring the atmosphere in the tent.
Seeing this scene, Lanelt felt unhappy for a while, and sent someone to contact Wohaug, but that guy can't even see the shadow now, and the smart character is just not easy to put away.
It's really not good, hum, there is a little bit of killing intent in his eyes, this steppe cunning fox with heavy troops in his hands will not let go of capable hidden enemies.
"Come, bring the things," fortunately, Ranelt is a bold man, and he is still willing to reward his subordinates who are willing to follow him.
Boxes of gold and silver treasures were brought up, silk brocades were piled up, and there was even a wooden box containing four exquisite pocket watches, which were also presented to everyone.
"These are all paid from the Wolf Tile family, and today the leader will be rewarded according to his merits," Ranel drizzled down the liquor with a flush on his face.
The bounty was quickly handed down according to merit, and the tribal leaders, who had received a great deal of money, gladly swore allegiance to Ranelt, which, though not very reliable, seemed to work well.
"Master Wanfu, the Galen tribe is just south of our pasture, and I haven't seen its leader come to take refuge, I heard that they have a lot of wealth there, and it turns out that the wolf tile has always wanted to take it," At this time, someone jumped out to offer advice, needless to say, it was the old department of the wolf tile, although it was surrendered to the account of Lanelt, but it was still angry about the dead and wounded so many people.
"Yes, that Galen tribe is very arrogant, relying on that firearm, no one will accept it," for a while, there was a lot of noise in the big tent, although these people did not dare to contradict Ranelte, but there were still people who caused trouble.
Well, Lanelt snorted in his nose, his eyes raised coldly, his gaze swept over, and the leaders who shouted the most were no longer silent.
The agreement with the Galen tribe, most of their leaders know, but at this time, it is not pure to provoke fire, and Lanelt naturally knows that the old department of the collapsed wolf tile still can't swallow that bad breath, hoping that he can take revenge on them.
"The Galen tribe has a business way, and the goods in their hands are in short supply, if you have the ability, go and grab it, and the reward will not be spared," the cold voice quieted the cowhide tent.
Although the Galen tribe is not big, the hedgehog is full of poisonous stingers, and they can't eat or fight, they already know it deeply, and it's good if they don't get found and lucky.
"Before there is no way to take down the Galen tribe, let's have a good relationship, we have a lot of cattle and sheep, but we don't have the others," Lanaise picked up a long cigarette stick, stuffed it with tobacco, and there was a crisp sound in the locality, and an orange-red flame came out of the lighter.
It has become a reason to bully people with power, and he is now also thinking about how to make a good deal with the Galen tribe, how did he end up in evil, and now it is good, this time he sent someone to trade, and the Eagle Claw Fort directly raised the price by one percent.
Not to mention the fire/guns, earth-shattering thunder that made him jealous, the sharp hunting knives, the novelty of this lighter, the beautiful pocket watches, and other goods, Lanayt knew that if it was not made in the Madao Stone Fort, the source of the goods would be absolutely far away.
According to the information obtained by those Ming traders, it is impossible for Madao Stone Fort to manufacture these goods, and those stone forts are just built by a hundred households that have been arrested, and a hundred household officers with no background/scenery can have much ability.
"Ximen Xiao Ye," chewing the name, Lanelt nodded secretly, in order to survive the Ming people who were desperate on the grassland, he still had some scruples, the rabbit can kick the eagle when he is in a hurry, and he is afraid that he will die together if he is in a hurry.
The death of the collapsed wolf tile gave Lanelt a warning lesson, and he couldn't be too eager to treat the Mingren, so he slowly tried to do it.
Besides, with the force in Xiao Ye's hands, Lanelt didn't think that he could win easily, and he wouldn't do anything that would hurt both sides.
In this case, let's trade more, after a long time, you will naturally buy what you want, isn't it cattle and sheep herbs, there is no shortage of these on the grassland, the east is not bright and the west is bright, thinking of the Hetao where you can't see the marginal rich pastures at a glance, as well as the countless towns and villages of the Ming people, Lanelt's heart is burning and can't help himself.
When they have strong strength, a small Galen tribe is not yet in a wave, and the source of Persian goods will be in the bag sooner or later.
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, the poisonous weeds that spread wildly near the Altai Mountains have already made Lanelt have the idea of letting go. The three stone forts encircled in the poisonous weeds, he wished that the Ming people would build a few more, and it was just a dead end.
These unsightly leaders, he is too lazy to enlighten, fools are fools, and he can't teach them to be smart.
The ambition of the bird's words, and the ambition of Talanelte, is not this piece of chicken-ribbed territory.
