Chapter 685: The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the Xiao family army is strong
drove away the invaders, and Xiao Jiajun was not idle.
Being idle means starving, so when they have something to do, they will have some small actions.
For example, go up to the mountains to hunt and hoard grain.
For example, he escorted Yan Hua to several nearby cities to see a doctor.
For example, take a large amount of gold and silver in your hand to buy military rations.
Another example is the expansion of territory.
Yes, after Xiao Dui led the Xiao family army to capture the city, he chased hundreds of miles towards the enemy's territory and took a few yurt tents that had no time to escape.
The tent is still secondary, mainly the dairy products and cattle and sheep that have been collected, and that is the real good thing.
It's a pity that the ordinary people have very few horses, but this time the harvest is also very impressive.
Bringing back the spoils of war, the lives of the soldiers were greatly improved.
The cattle were brought back and distributed directly to the families of the conscripts to work in the fields.
Cattle in this era were not allowed to be killed for meat.
There is no green grassland in the border city, and it is unrealistic to raise so many sheep.
And those sheepskins have been booked to make cotton socks and gloves and hats.
Only these small pieces are made, and there are not many materials, but they are barely enough.
Moreover, the mutton soup is warm and replenished, and drinking more in winter can raise the deficit of the soldiers.
There are not many dairy products, don't think about the soldiers below, they are all points that only senior generals have.
Xiao Du gave Yan Hua his share all, Yan Hua didn't want it: "You are still growing your body, eating this body will grow harder, you can eat it, and you will be tall." ”
Yan Hua's words made Xiao Dui blush, and ran away with dairy products a little awkwardly.
Later, when Yan Hua saw him again, he found that there was always a smell of milk on his body, and he seemed to have eaten a lot.
It turns out that Xiao Dusk did eat the effect.
After that, every once in a while, he would get taller.
Xiao Du also found out about it herself, and said in her heart: "Sister Yan Hua really didn't lie to me. ”
He used to eat those dairy products as medicine, and since then he has liked this mouthful.
is also because of eating dairy products all year round, Xiao Dui's body and bones are getting stronger day by day, and I don't know when it started, he is no longer the thin and sick little boy in Yan Hua's impression.
Of course, that's all for later.
Now in the first year of the border city, Xiao Jiajun has lived a very good life, not only has he not been starved and thin, but he has also gained a little meat.
This is all thanks to the wise decision-making of their great generals.
It's just that they don't know that many of these decisions were guided by the divine doctor that their general brought with him.
The Xiao family army gained a firm foothold in the border city, and the people also lived a stable life.
Although it was inevitable to be looted at first, this one was much stronger than the previous generals.
They were merciless in their search for those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but they were still gentle to the people, and only those who took the opportunity to make a fortune in the country would be killed and set an example for the poor people, and once it was found that the poor people did not smash and loot the nest, they were all let go.
Not only were they spared, but they were also given arable land and cattle!
Such a day was unimaginable to them before.
The border city was stable, and in the second year, Xiao Du and the people of the border city became close to each other, and began to have a stable supply.
But that's just a good year.
Xiao Duan had already received a warning from Sister Yan Hua, so when the court's suspicion rose again and he was dispatched to another border battlefield, Xiao Dui's side was completely prepared, and he was not as flustered as when he left Beijing.
What's more, along the way, Yan Hua also gave people a large amount of medical treatment money and filled it into his small treasury of military salary.
Xiao Du can be said to have taken over the new dispatch power with great confidence, and began to make war fortunes on another battlefield.
Relying on this kind of pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers, raising a knife to fight his way out, doing businessless business like a hero in the green forest, capturing one city after another, and moving back to pile after pile of loot.
Xiao Du successfully started from scratch, and his family was already fat to fight with his uncle.
As he said at the beginning, how can a group of sour Confucians know how to lead troops to fight?
They only looked at the military supplies of the generals when they started the war, and they only looked at the cities they invaded under the military exploits.
Once the generals are defeated, they will take a fancy to their net worth.
But I don't know the dedication of the generals to protect their homes and defend the country, and they don't know that they were forced to go to the Jedi and had to choose to invade the enemy city to survive, and the disappointment and sadness after the decision.
From being naïve and childish, thinking only about the country and the world, and lofty ambitions, to having blood-stained hands, freezing ice in his eyes, murderous and ruthless, like a walking killing machine.
They experienced brutal battles and confrontations, were used and betrayed by their own people, and were forced into a desperate situation step by step.
Some died with hatred, not because of the strength of the enemy, but because of the stabbing of their own people in the back.
Some die and come back to life, and they are enlightened, and they will not compromise means in order to survive.
Either blacken, after becoming strong, form a private party, and retaliate.
Either they are disheartened, guarding the border alone, thinking only of the people in the border city, and they have little to live for the rest of their lives.
Others, like Xiao Dui, who was brought out by Yan Hua himself, have been feared, but because of his self-respect for the army, the court did not dare to move him easily.
But if he didn't move, he was afraid that he would strike first, so he didn't dare to put him in the same place for too long, and kept sending him to other battlefields to fight.
I hope that his life is not so hard, or it is better if he dies of illness if he is not accustomed to the water and soil.
However, the Xiao family soldiers, who are strong and nourished by medicine and wine every day, are like a very useful sharp knife no matter where they are dispatched, pointing wherever they hit, and they are invincible.
During this period, Xiao Duan also buried his own granaries and private warehouses in various places.
The result of the blossoming everywhere is that no matter when, he is transferred away by the imperial court in some kind of urgent and embarrassed posture, even if he deducts his military expenses in his original station, and uses the excuse of traveling lightly.
When he led the army to the new station, he could also be fat, strong, and not cowardly.
The more he tossed in this way, the faster he became rich, and the more local officials he mingled with, and the more convenience he gets.
The court became more and more uneasy, thinking that sooner or later he would rise up in rebellion.
Let's see what Xiao Jiajun has done all these years?
The more you look at it, the more wrong it becomes.
The imperial court has never paid the Xiao family's army, and other supplies are just a number, and they have all been cut off a long time ago.
But Xiao Du never mentioned it, as if someone had been giving them out on time.
Instead of being dragged down by the transfer of the Xiao family, the number of prisoners and military service in recent years has been impossible to verify, and the number of people reported is still the original number anyway.
If someone goes to look for it, they can't find out why.
In the city where the people are located, it is very likely that all the young people who look like ordinary people are soldiers under the hands of others.
This kind of grass and trees are not a good feeling, and the emperor has a large guillotine hanging above his head every day.
At this time, the emperor regretted that he personally ordered Xiao Du to leave the capital.
But this is simple, and it is difficult to recall it.
As soon as he comes back, Xiao Jiajun will follow him, and Xiao Jiajun will not listen to anyone's orders except Xiao Dui's.
People have the privileges promulgated by the emperor, and he, the emperor of the nest, can't be restrained at all.
