Chapter 17 The White Rabbit Wears a Crown Seventeen
The ability of "Ma Sandao" is not small, and his unique skills also surprised everyone. The family legend of "Ma Sandao" has a trick called "dividing the muscles and bones". It is to use different knives to split the enemy in an instant. Regardless of whether the other party is dead or alive, as long as it takes a blink of an eye, "Ma Sandao" can divide the other party into several piles, meat is meat, bones are bones, tendons are tendons, absolutely organized. This requires a long period of practice, but also a lot of understanding and experience. The soldiers admired the "three knives of horses" even more than the masters who saw the eaves and walk the walls.
The "old drunkard" master also showed his hand a little, in a place where he was sleeping, after a small change, several soldiers who were surrounded inside were trapped inside. Not only is there no direction inside, but there will be all kinds of hallucinations, which frightens the soldiers inside to be nervous one by one. Everyone doesn't dare to underestimate this usually drunk old man anymore. This old man is not inferior to the others.
Qin Tai and the five of them not only have unique skills, but also have no shelves, which makes everyone can't believe it. Like the officers in the barracks, they are afraid that others will not know what they have any ability, and their ability to brag is much better than the kung fu in hand. But these people not only can't look at it, they can definitely "pretend to be pigs and eat tigers", and they never boast of their skills.
Several veterans like the "old drunkard" master love to drink a few sips of wine, drinking can not only relax the mood, but also drive away the cold. The "old drunkard" master invited everyone to drink and told everyone stories. The stories told are Qin Tai and their affairs, and they are all some of their personal experiences. In the beginning, there were only a few veterans, and later more and more soldiers came around.
The "old drunkard" master told the story firstly to ease everyone's emotions, and secondly, to let everyone know more about this Qin Tai and respect this young man more. So I told Qin Tai about it. Everyone listened to it with relish as if they were listening to a story.
The "old drunkard" master told Qin Tai's stories such as "The Mystery of Xiaoyue Village" and "Nine Sons and Ghost Mother" along the way, of course, some of the secrets in it were not too obvious. That's it, and it's a feast for all the soldiers. Everyone has more and more respect for Qin Tai, the young chief, and almost treats Qin Tai as Bao Qingtian of the previous dynasty. There are even some soldiers who privately say that Qin Tai is not an ordinary person, he is simply a Wenqu star. It is to save the suffering people of Fujian.
The soldiers were all natives of Fujian, and they also knew that Qin Tai had borrowed silver and grain from writing IOUs in his own name. The silver and grain were not sold in Fujian, but were given to the people of Fujian for free. Everyone is very grateful to this Qin Tai, Fujian Province has been harassed by Japanese pirates for decades. In the last ten years, the Japanese have intensified, and the Ming government has become more and more incompetent. The government will only ask the people for food and money, and never care about the lives of the people. The people privately hated the people of the government, and some children of good families were disdainful of the government and officials. Some aspiring young people are reluctant to become officials, and they are even more reluctant to be cursed by the villagers. As a result, no one in Fujian has taken the exam for many years, and no local officials have appeared. Some local officials who committed crimes have their ancestral graves dug up by nearby villagers many times. The families of the officials were also besieged by the common people, who were so angry that they were reluctant to go out. A foreigner like Qin Tai is not a local official in Fujian, but he cares so much about the people of Fujian, and this kind of official is a good official in everyone's mind.
The soldiers worked together, the officials were not corrupt or corrupt, and they shared weal and woe with the soldiers, so it was safe along the way. Even if there is a small nuisance, everyone will not deal with it in a hurry. Among them, the power of Zhan Xiaoxiao was once again exerted, and Zhan Xiaoxiao was alone in a cottage. After the negotiation with the big boss of the cottage broke down, one person simply flattened this cottage that claimed to have more than 300 subordinates. Not only did Zhan Xiaoxiao not have any scars on his body, but the robbers on the mountain did not leave a single living mouth. All the robbers died almost with a sword in their throats. Everyone has to admire Zhan Xiaoxiao's swordsmanship, Zhan Xiaoxiao is definitely a chivalrous master.
The "old drunkard" master also showed his skills, and a small group of robbers were driven to a desperate valley by the soldiers. The "old drunkard" master set up a formation outside the valley, and this group of robbers couldn't get out. I heard that a few years later, a lone survivor was found in a madman's tower. He was already insane at the time, but some people heard some clues from his crazy words. More than two dozen of them were forced into the valley, and they took advantage of the danger of the valley so that the soldiers did not dare to approach easily. After the "old drunkard" master laid out a strange formation, they were trapped and died inside. Later, the two robbers actually killed the other robbers and ate the robbers' flesh to keep them alive. It rained heavily every day, breaking through some formations and revealing a small flaw. The two robbers squeezed out, and in the process, the man who went mad later killed another robber in order to survive. This robber is actually the brother of the crazy robber. This robber ate the flesh of other robbers, and killed his own brother with his own hands, and finally went crazy and stupid.
Five thousand soldiers, under the leadership of Qin Tai, uprooted more than a dozen cottages and robbers along the way. I cleared the obstacles on the road and came to Fujian smoothly. Among the 5,000 soldiers, except for two soldiers who were slightly injured on the road and a dozen soldiers who were sick from the soil, there were no dead soldiers, and no soldiers who died in battle. This has never happened before, and there are many soldiers who are tortured to death by officers or run away on the road alone. However, Qin Tai did not leave a single soldier behind, 5,000 people left Nanjing City, and 5,000 people came to Fujian Province together.
Along the way, there was no escort from other armies, and there was no support from the government along the way, Qin Tai almost did not disturb the local government, and under the condition of relying on himself, he came to Fujian on foot. The soldiers didn't feel it, but the self-confidence around Qin Tai knew that Qin Tai had become stronger and stronger, and he had become more manly. Now Qin Tai put on a soldier's clothes, took a soldier's weapon, and mixed in the soldier's ranks, and it is estimated that few people will be able to spot him. The only thing that is different from a soldier is that Qin Tai still has a scholarly smell on him. As long as he doesn't speak, as long as he doesn't stand up and take the lead, everyone really can't tell the difference between Qin Tai and the soldiers around him.
On the way, when the veterans of the Qi family army gave lectures to the recruits and talked about combat skills, Qin Tai was also brought in to listen to the lectures. In Qin Tai's five-person group, except for an old "old drunkard" master, only Qin Tai's combat effectiveness was the worst. In order to let Qin Tai learn a little tactics and skills, Zhan Xiaoxiao strongly asked the veterans to train Qin Tai fiercely. Zhan Xiaoxiao means that he hopes that Qin Tai will learn a little more to protect himself, and Qin Tai will protect himself in the future. But these veterans who lecture are different, they think that Qin Tai is a good official, a good official who asks for the people's life. In the future, he will definitely be an excellent magistrate, and he is more likely to become a cabinet official. If you can learn more about military affairs, you may be able to enter the prime minister in the future. So they didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and they were even more excited to give a lecture to Qin Tai than they were learning back then. I hope to cultivate a future national pillar of both civil and military skills.
I don't know if it's because the expectations of veterans are too high, or if the adaptability of literati like Qin Tai is not enough. Qin Tai's research on strategy and tactics can be said to have passed, but his practical ability is too poor. Qin Tai held the knife like grasping a pen, making the knife like practicing wild grass. He had a spear in his hand, but he felt that no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be out of bounds. Qin Tai's strength is not small, but when he practices with Zhan Xiaoxiao, he always can't catch Zhan Xiaoxiao's three moves. Even if Zhan Xiaoxiao releases water, Qin Tai will definitely not be able to withstand the three moves. All the soldiers finally believed in a truth: "God is fair." "God gave Qin Tai a good head, a smart head, but he didn't give Qin Tai a good skill. The soldiers' brains are not as good as Qin Tai's, but their skills are definitely much better than Qin Tai's.
However, the veterans discovered a secret of Qin Tai, and Qin Tai's eyes were particularly good. So the veteran secretly tested Qin Tai's shooting ability and found that Qin Tai's archery ability was no worse than that of a skilled archer. Qin Tai not only has good eyesight, but also has a calm and relaxed spirit, and is a natural archer. Later, I learned that Qin Tai had learned archery, and when he was in school, everyone had learned the "six arts". The so-called "six arts" are etiquette, music, archery, royalty, mathematics, and art. "Li" is to learn the truth and politeness of life. "Music" refers to music, and it is said that music can cultivate sentiment and improve the taste of readers. "Shooting" is archery, and it is also a representative of both civil and military in ancient times. "Go" means to ride a horse, which not only improves the physical fitness of students, but also allows students to get close to nature. "Numbers" are mathematics, calculations, astronomy, and other knowledge. "Technique" is the manufacture of various tools and the use of tools. This is something that all readers have to learn, Qin Tai has not only learned, but his grades at that time were not bad.
Qin Tai's good archery ability is a secret for veterans, and it is also a small request for Zhanxiao. Zhan Xiaoxiao hopes to keep it a secret and not let too many soldiers know Qin Tai's skills. The veterans also felt good, the soldiers knew too many secrets, and it was not good for Qin Tai.
In addition, Qin Tai is also very good at the installation and use of crossbow arrows, and even assembles and uses crossbow arrows independently. The veterans handed over the matter of repairing and assembling the crossbow arrows to Qin Tai, which was also an opportunity for Qin Tai to practice. Qin Tai was actually very disgusted with crossbow arrows, a particularly lethal weapon, but when he thought that he could use crossbow arrows to reduce casualties against the Japanese Invaders, Qin Tai tried to overcome his disgust. With crossbow arrows in hand, a helpless common man can deal with the Japanese Kou one-on-one, and if several people are combined, they can deal with many enemies in one direction. This is a big improvement in terms of defense. Therefore, Qin Tai is ready to manufacture and assemble some more crossbow arrows for everyone to use in the future.
