The people of Wulizhai used to call the wasteland twenty miles away from them the west side of the country called Outer Bend, which is a hilly land, because of the lack of water it is very inconvenient to grow plants here, so there has been no human living here to the west, and it has long been a paradise for wild beasts and low plants.

But these days, the original peaceful life here has been broken, a group of ragged people came here, they came to this wasteland with farm tools and the old and the young, the men began to build wooden houses to reclaim the wasteland, the women were in charge of housework, and the children were trying to help the adults do what they could, in short, the whole wasteland showed a busy scene, and these people were those military households of the Yingzhou Thousand Households, and their group of more than 500 people was settled here by Yueyang.

"Thank you so much, my lord, if it weren't for the seeds, food, and farming tools you provided, we poor soldiers really don't know what to do?" Feng Xiaoming, the deputy of the former guard office, knelt in front of Yue Yang excitedly, almost crying.

"Well, I know what you want, and it's not for your sake that I agreed to settle them here, and you should know that."

Yue Yang looked at Feng Xiaoming in front of him and said lightly. For Feng Xiaoming's excitement, Yue Yang's heart did not make any waves, because whether it was the appearance of Feng Xiaoming and the officers he saw in the thousands of households in Yingzhou, or their red faces, they all showed that the person in front of him was really not a person who could be strict with himself and be honest.

After being silent for a while, Yue Yang said softly: "Deputy Feng Qianhu, I brought you all here, and gave you seeds and farm tools, what I promised you has been done, what do you have to plan?" Whether you plan to settle here or join the army. If it's Tuntian, I can let you be the commander of the tun, and still manage all the military households here, if you want to be a soldier and eat food, you can also do it, but I want to tell you, now it's a troubled time, and being a soldier under my command is always ready to stop playing with people on your belt. "In Yueyang, an old fritter like Feng Xiaoming will definitely choose to be here in Tuntian, after all, this kind of life is very stable and guaranteed, and everyone knows how to choose. But then Feng Xiaoming's words surprised him.

Feng Xiaoming spoke: "My lord, if you agree, the lower officials want to be a soldier under your command to eat food!" ”

"What, you still want to be a soldier and eat food?" Yue Yang was taken aback.

Feng Xiaoming bowed his head and said, "Yes, the lower official wants to serve you under your command, please agree!" ”

Yue Yang looked at Feng Xiaoming's face again, and saw that there was a determined look on his face. He said slowly: "Swords and guns have no eyes, are you not afraid of losing your life on the battlefield?" ”

"Humble and afraid!" Feng Xiaoming smiled bitterly, his face was full of bitterness: "But Xia Guan is more afraid that he will become a busy person." I am even more afraid that after the death of Xia Guan, Xia Guan's children will also become a farmer who can only farm. ”

"I'm afraid the latter sentence is what you are talking about." Yue Yang sighed in his heart, this Feng Xiaoming is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very shrewd in his heart, don't look at him is still a deputy Qianhu appointed by the imperial court, but if he really farms here, it won't take a few years, and he may be among the others.

"Are you really not afraid of death?" Yue Yang asked again.

"Of course I'm afraid, but the lower officials are more willing to follow the adults to make a name for themselves." Feng Xiaoming reversed his oily image in the past, and a trace of determination appeared on his face, "Xiaguan has spent more than 30 years in chaos, and originally Xiaguan only thought about how to make more money and occupy more military land. It wasn't until he saw the adult that the lower official suddenly woke up, and now the thieves are everywhere, and the slave Tartars are wreaking havoc at the border pass, it is the time when the good man has made great contributions, and the lower official is willing to follow the adult to fight for a brilliant future with knives and guns! ”

Looking at the impassioned Feng Xiaoming, Yue Yang's eyes showed a hint of essence again. Accustomed to seeing the strange life and countless cruel things in modern society, Yue Yang naturally would not be naïve to think that he had the aura of the protagonist, and the heroes and heroes from all walks of life kowtowed to worship This kind of beautiful thing will fall on his head. This kind of plot can only be found in third-rate novels, and it is a childish plot that can only be found in novels from many years ago. For Feng Xiaoming's move, our ancestors have long interpreted his motives in one sentence: "The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." ”

For Feng Xiaoming's actions, Yue Yang was not disgusted and would not be surprised, after all, people are always animals that seek advantages and avoid harms, and interests are the general driving force for human beings to move forward. Feng Xiaoming clearly saw that he had the value of investment, so he thought about fighting with himself, and if he won, he might be able to get a future for his wife and son, as for the risk, there is naturally there, but why is there no risk in these years? If you want to seal your wife, you have to be prepared to pin your head to the waistband of your pants.

After pondering for a long time, Yue Yang asked, "Deputy Feng, since you have this heart, then the official will tell you the truth." Previously, the official saw that except for Wu Chengfeng, the rest of the people in your guard were all inactive, and originally planned to let you wait here to spend the rest of your life, but now that you are here and open your mouth, the official will not hesitate to give you a chance. In this way, if you insist on following this official, then now you will be a hundred presidents under this official, and if you have merit in the future, what do you think? After speaking, Yue Yang looked at Feng Xiaoming intently.

Here I want to talk about the difference between the official system of the Ming Dynasty army. Originally, Feng Xiaoming's deputy thousand households system was hereditary, that is to say, if Feng Xiaoming died, then his deputy thousand households position could be passed on to his sons, grandsons, and great-grandchildren, and his children and grandchildren would pass it on, and this kind of official position generally belonged to the local garrison. Generally speaking, only field troops will take this kind of official position, and they are respectively called Wu Chang, Shi Chang, Bai Zong, Qian Zong, Guerrilla, Staff General, Deputy General, General Soldier, and Governor.

And Feng Xiaoming's original deputy Qianhu is equivalent to the deputy of Qianzong, and now Yueyang has made him a hundred chiefs, which is equivalent to demotion. But Feng Xiaoming did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, but bowed down with great joy and said loudly: "Thank you for your humble position!" ”

Seeing that Feng Xiaoming could climb up the pole so quickly, Yue Yang smiled slightly and said, "Don't call yourself humble so quickly, the hundred households of this official are not so easy to do." Tomorrow you will go to Shun Bao and let him assess the assessment, if you can pass guò you can become this hundred households, otherwise if you can't even beat a small soldier, you should go to the official as soon as possible to farm, the official does not raise idlers here, do you understand? ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands!" Feng Xiaoming bowed down again......

On May 23, the sixth year of Chongzhen, after Yue Yang had prepared his things, he took 1,000 cavalry and 1,000 foot soldiers, as well as more than 500 carts loaded with grain, salt, clothing and daily necessities, and headed towards the Horqin tribe.

At the beginning, Yue Yang was worried that such a large force would swagger across the border pass and various checkpoints would alarm the generals guarding the pass. After all, he is now a dignified six-rank military attaché, and such a large-scale exit will cause a commotion at the border pass, but the final result makes Yue Yang happy, helpless and angry.

Yue Yang was happy that so many people had passed the pass without anything at all, and those border generals and leaders who had taken his advantage really turned a blind eye to this clearly armored force, which also made Yue Yang, who had been prepared to be troubled for several days, breathe a sigh of relief. But Yue Yang also felt a trace of helplessness and anger at the same time, no wonder every time the Houjin Iron Weapon went south to plunder, it would be like entering a no-man's land, and the checkpoints everywhere were like fictitious, allowing the Jurchens to burn and loot in the interior, and the Ming troops everywhere would have nothing but escape.

In this way, after a lapse of more than four months, Yue Yang came to the Horqin grassland again after a long journey of more than half a month with 2,000 soldiers and hundreds of truckloads of goods......
