Chapter 51: The Ringing Bowl (I)

、、、、、、、

They are happy, Yuan Dahai is not happy, Ji Yong will also be disappointed, these knights who came to "catch the market" are not what he thinks the elite of Dongchang - the Black Flag Arrow Team should look like.

Thinking about how majestic the Black Flag Arrow Team was back then, the 800 Arrow Team was like one person, crisscrossing the desert, invincible, and the hundreds of knights in front of him were not so much a rabble, but a group of chaotic people.

After interrogating Zhou Ming repeatedly, Yuan Ji and the others confirmed that these knights who were not like soldiers and people were indeed descendants of the Black Flag Arrow Team, but it could not be said that they were Mongols. Because for more than 100 years, the descendants of the archery team have been intermarried with the women of Haihu and Mahu in Nanhaizi, except for the yurts they still live in yurts and the riding and archery skills left by their ancestors, they are no different from the Han people.

What to do? Do you want to take this group of unorganized and undisciplined guys back to the East Factory, and then claim to the outside world that the elite "Black Flag Arrow Team" of our East Factory has reappeared in the world?

Don't even think about it!

If he really did this, Yuan Dahai was sure that Liu Yingkun and Li Chaoqin would be able to bite themselves to death, not a rabble that would not be worthy of their name.

Headache, Yuan Dahai really has a headache, he didn't expect that the descendants of the Black Flag Arrow Team have no ancestral legacy at all, and Wei Zhongxian They want a real Dongchang powerhouse, an elite force that is enough to make political enemies change their complexion, and it is definitely not this group of simple herdsmen and horses!

"Commander Yuan?"

Yuan Dahai's frowning appearance made Zhou Ming on the side very puzzled, the Black Flag Arrow Team is here, you see, one by one, they are all five big and three thick, and they are also strong in kung fu immediately, and I Nanhaizi didn't treat you badly as a person from Dongchang! Since he was appointed to serve as the eunuch in charge, he has offered these Mongols as his masters, and now you say that you want to take them away, our family naturally has nothing to say, but you can't show our family shame for no reason? There is no credit and hard work, what's the matter, your people in Dongchang are amazing, right? …

The more Zhou Ming thought about it, the more angry he became, and his face slowly turned cold, Ji Yong saw it on the side, knowing what he was thinking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he couldn't explain it.

There's no way, time is urgent, so it's up to them, otherwise where can they find the manpower to rebuild the Black Flag Arrows?

Ji Yong sighed, took two steps forward and whispered to Yuan Dahai: "Yuan Sifang, don't think about it, let's take people away." ”

Yuan Dahai shook his head: "Father-in-law, you said that you would bring people back like this, how would Father-in-law Liu think of his subordinates?" ”

Ji Yong knew what he was worried about, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only pull the person back first, and take one step at a time, and persuaded at the moment: "Yuan Sifang, don't worry, according to our family, you can't become a fat person by eating in one bite, so let's pull the person back first, and then train slowly." We have also seen it just now, these Mongolians' riding and archery skills are all there, and as long as time passes, they will be able to regain the glory of their ancestors. So let's not worry, everything has a process, go back to our family will say a few words for you in front of Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Liu, they are also reasonable, and they will never despise you because of this. ”

Listening to Ji Yong's words, Yuan Dahai thought about it, shook his head, and suddenly hugged his fists and saluted Ji Yong: "My subordinates want to ask my father-in-law for a favor!" ”

Help? Say! Ji Yong said: "As long as our family can help, you can just say it." ”

"My subordinates want to leave the arrow team in Nanhaizi first, and then bring them back to Dongchang three days later, and ask my father-in-law to help my subordinates find a batch..."

At that moment, Yuan Dahai told Ji Yong the method he had come up with, and the latter listened, first surprised, then nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, why didn't our family expect that, well, if it works, it will indeed be able to restore the combat strength of the Black Flag Arrow Team in the shortest possible time... Don't worry, we've got you covered. ”

Ji Yong promised to help, Yuan Dahai was a little more relaxed, and with him fighting for himself in front of Liu Yingkun, this thing can always be done. Ji Yong didn't stay much, and Yuan Dahai sent Li Qing and Zhang Dexi to send Ji Yong back to Beijing.

After Ji Yong left, Yuan Dahai was not in a hurry to train these Mongols, but took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels from his arms and handed it to Zhou Ming, this silver ticket was given by Ruan Dacheng that day, and Yuan Dahai left a thousand taels, which would not be distressed, and was directly given to Zhou Ming.

A pie fell from the sky, and he smashed a thousand taels of silver tickets on his head, Zhou Ming's face suddenly became bright, and his previous dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant. His errand of managing the horse household is really not much oil and water, and it would be good to be able to give a hundred and ten taels of silver privately throughout the year, and now that he has a thousand taels out of thin air, can he not make him happy. But he still understands the truth of having short hands and eating people's soft mouths, and knows that Yuan Dahai must have something for him to do, and the so-called reactive power is not lulu. After hearing that the arrow team was going to stay in Nanhaizi for three days, and after the arrow team left, he asked him to take care of the families of the members of the arrow team, Zhou Ming didn't need to ask anyone, just patted his chest.

The horse households in the area of the Liangshui River are under Zhou Ming's management, and he doesn't have to take care of the family members of the arrow team, how to manage it in the past and how to manage it in the future, and since the black arrow team is going to be rebuilt, then these family members of the arrow team are naturally the people of the east factory, and they are no longer cheap households, and it won't take long to return to the capital. And what the Black Flag Arrow Team does, Zhou Ming knows very well in his heart, he can make friends with the Dongchang Fanzi of the Arrow Team, build a good relationship, and maybe he will be able to get rid of it in the future, and return to Beijing from this cold water bubble with no oil and water. Therefore, even if he doesn't have this thousand taels of silver tickets, he doesn't need Yuan Dahai to explain it specifically, he will take good care of the family members of the arrow team, and with this thousand taels, it will naturally be better.

At the moment, with the assistance of the extremely enthusiastic Zhou Ming, Yuan Dahai divided the members of the arrow team according to age, only taking young adults over eighteen years old and under thirty years old, and only 600 people were eligible in the end. As soon as these six hundred people heard that they had been selected to participate in the ancestor's Black Flag Arrow Team, they were extremely excited, and they quieted down under the pressure of Yuan Dahai, Zhou Ming and others. The other hundreds of people who were not selected were disappointed for a while, but they didn't have any ideas, they went back to their own tents, and they were busy with their wives and children to hot kangs, and they didn't have the consciousness to revive their ancestors' majesty.

Because it was getting late, Yuan Dahai ordered the 600 people to re-set up tents on the other side of the Liangshui River, no longer living in the original tents, and not seeing their families again. Zhou Ming also transferred dozens of horses to help Yuan Dahai manage the arrow team. The six hundred archers were not dissatisfied with such an arrangement, it was obvious that they were far less afraid of Yuan Dahai as the commander than the steward eunuch Zhou Ming, sometimes, Yuan Dahai could not suppress them, Zhou Ming would immediately come forward, and without saying much, a cold glance at it frightened these archers into silence, and no one dared to be disobedient again.

The county officials are not as good as the current management, Zhou Ming, the eunuch in charge, is in charge of the life and death of the horse households, which is definitely a big Buddha pressed on the head for these archers who were still horse households half an hour ago, plus these Mongolian men no longer have the blood of their ancestors, and there is no difference between them and the common people who are afraid of officials. Before he formed absolute authority, if he wanted to make these six hundred men obedient, Yuan Dahai could only rely on Zhou Ming's prestige.

The next day, Yuan Dahai ordered 600 people to be divided into three teams, each team of 200 people, Yuan Dahai brought one, Qian En and Guo Kegang each brought one, specializing in archery, and the winner was responsible for Zhou Ming to allocate some salt, cloth and other daily necessities to his family. The mentality of the archers can be described as "game" for this arrangement, and it is only fun to think that whoever wins gets a bag of salt or a small piece of cloth is bound to be booed all around.

In this process, if there is no Zhou Ming present, the archers will often desert, and people often sneak back to the other side, Yuan Dahai will turn a blind eye to this, regardless of whether he asks. Because he knew that even if he took care of it, these Mongols would not listen to him, because they had not yet become a soldier's consciousness.

If Ji Yong goes well, he will be back tomorrow with what he needs. As the sun set, Yuan Dahai ordered the end of today's archery practice. When the archers stopped practicing, they all cheered and returned to the camp with high spirits.

Yuan Dahai is satisfied with today's archery drill, he is not satisfied with the attitude of these archers, but satisfied that these Mongol descendants have not forgotten the skills of their ancestors, so that he does not need to train them extraordinarily.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!
