Chapter 255: Xuanjia Qin Cavalry
Bringing nearly 100 people over to eat, of course Qin Yu couldn't just eat for nothing.
Although the other party must not care about these trivial matters, the Qin family is not short of money, not to mention that this is still the territory of the Qin family.
Since he has promised the other party that he will support the other party this time, Qin Yu simply does the best he can be.
Ten thousand taels of silver, don't look at it as nothing to the Qin family, but for ordinary people, this is already a huge amount of money.
Tianlong City is very heavy soldiers, the soldiers are the first, the farmers are the second, the soldiers are the third, and the merchants are at the end.
Therefore, the treatment of the soldiers in Celestial Dragon City was extremely high, far exceeding the treatment of other cities.
But even so, the monthly income of an ordinary soldier in Tianlong City is only a dozen taels, and the annual income is definitely not more than two hundred taels of silver.
The centurions next to him were paid a little higher, but their monthly income was only between thirty and fifty taels of silver.
The Xuanjia Qin cavalry that followed behind was regarded as an honor guard carefully cultivated by Qin Shou, and they were basically veterans who followed him to fight the world before, or the heirs of veterans.
has connections, strength, and loyalty, and the treatment he enjoys is definitely the top existence among ordinary soldiers.
But each person is only less than two hundred taels a month.
Of course, the allocated courtyard land and various benefits are counted separately.
Even this kind of most elite cavalry has to work for five years to get together this silver ten thousand taels, and you can imagine how terrifying this money is.
It can be said that there is this income alone.
The more than 20 villages that spent a lot of money to celebrate the celebration of the flowing water banquet will definitely only make money this time!
Tying the horses to a courtyard, the father and son of the Qin family walked in front, and the Qin cavalry followed closely behind them, and the armor slammed violently as they walked, making a tinkling sound of steel.
And beside the father and son, the old beggar followed closely, and the excitement on his face had not faded until now.
Quickly enter the banquet area and hurriedly set the table.
Seeing that the cavalry and the Qin family's father and son were seated at the main seat, the crowd that followed them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that they were standing around very restrained, Qin Yu took off his helmet and put it on the table, and looked at the old beggar with a smile.
"I said old village chief, it's not the first time we've met, why are you so restrained? Take out your previous breezy posture! ”
The old village chief smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and his face turned a little red.
When he faced this son of the Qin family, he really seemed very calm, even when he knew the identity of the other party.
But that's mainly because he was a beggar at the time, and the so-called barefoot people who are not afraid to wear shoes have only one rotten life left, and what else is there to care about, naturally it doesn't matter what it is.
Now that he is facing Qin Yu again, there is still the prestigious head of the family Qin Shou sitting next to him, and he already has a concern, where can he let go of his hands and feet like before.
He was actually quite good, he didn't look at the centurion next to him, but now his body was standing straight, and he didn't even dare to come out.
Looking at the old beggar who kept scratching his head and smirking, Qin Yu shook his head helplessly and laughed, and suddenly turned his head and yelled at the cavalry.
"Take off your armor! We're here for a feast this time! No need to be fully armed! Village chief, you are the master, we are guests, you just treat us as guests who come to eat and drink, today, regardless of status. ”
Hearing this, looking at the faint smile on Qin Yu's face, the old beggar nodded desperately, and wiped the corners of his eyes when he turned around.
How long has it been, how long has it been since he felt this kind of equal respect, since the moment he became a beggar, he has never been treated so equally.
Looking at the villagers gathered around, the old beggar raised his hand and patted it vigorously, shouting fiercely.
"Alright, alright! Our village's distinguished guests have arrived! Let's start preparing the food and drinks! If you don't get drunk today, you won't return! ”
"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"
Shouts rang out, and the cheering crowd quickly dispersed.
This flowing water banquet is the most common special banquet in the countryside, and the food is not said to be delicious, but the taste is definitely not bad.
After all, the chef who can be constantly invited to take charge of the spoon may not be a regular celebrity chef, but he must be a master of making big pot rice.
The most important thing is that one of the biggest features of this flowing water feast is that it is fast enough!
Cook fast! Serve fast! When the first dish is served, basically all the next dozen dishes have been prepared.
If you get all the dishes ready in five minutes, that's called a master.
Ten minutes to get all the dishes ready, that's a good hand.
More than fifteen minutes, it can only be said to be average.
If you exceed twenty minutes or even half an hour? That's a slap in the face!
Shame on the cook! Shame on the helper! The host who held the flowing water banquet was also disgraced!
The chef of this flowing water banquet is obviously a master, and the cooking is called a clean and neat cooking.
Of course, it may also be because he was too frightened when he saw Qin Shou, the city lord, arrive, and he played extraordinarily.
In less than a moment, all the food and drinks were on the table.
As the organizers toasted, the feast officially began.
If you say that when you first drank and ate, the atmosphere around me was still a little depressing.
Then with the wine under the stomach, when everyone is slightly drunk, the atmosphere has begun to gradually become active.
Especially when the group of Xuanjia Qin cavalry who had taken off their armor began to carry wine jars around the table, the entire open-air flowing water banquet was completely lively.
The vast majority of the Xuanjia Qin cavalry and Qin Shou's honor guard are veterans who have followed Qin Shou on the battlefield and fought hard.
They climbed up step by step from the big soldiers, and where did they come from?
Not to mention that most of them have gray hair now, and it is the time when they like to talk to someone and reminisce about the past.
Now that they finally found an opportunity, after pouring a few glasses of wine into the villagers, these guys began to blow it all the way open, shaking out all their past experiences and the past that had made them blow for a lifetime.
Battle of Dragon's Mouth! Thousands of horsemen attack the army at night! Draw the enemy's roar! With 1,000 horsemen, the enemy's 30,000 troops fled for several kilometers, trampling each other, killing and wounding more than half of them!
Lonely Lamp City defends it! Three thousand soldiers fought for more than two months! Drag the other party down alive! Turn the table!
And that thrilling battle to the death in Dragon City! After the defeat in the first battle, the head of the family, Qin Shou, summoned the old troops who had been scattered to the army as officers, and broke the enemy formation with 700 cavalry, from which the 10,000 troops took the head of the enemy general.
Kill more than 20 people in the mainstay of the four major families in a row, end the entire command system of the other party, and break the joint blockade of the four major families in one fell swoop, so as to reverse the situation!
It was also in that battle that Qin Shou's only remaining old subordinates came out in 700, and less than 100 returned.
From then on, Qin Shou, who ascended to the position of the city lord, sealed the remnants as a guard of honor and formed the current Xuanjia Qin cavalry, and no one could command it except him.
It's just that although he reached the top because of his merits, he has become the dream of countless soldiers.
But it was also after that battle that the Xuanjia Cavalry Regiment never drew its weapons again.
This veteran corps of less than 100 people remained, Qin Shou never let them go to the battlefield again, but just let them silently follow him to accompany him.
Now a hundred years have passed, and the elite soldiers who were once in the prime of life are already dying.
There are even some who have died, and in their place are their descendants, their heirs.
Looking at the veterans who were talking in the crowd with their eyebrows fluttering and their chests clapping, every time they talked about thrills, they always attracted the exclamations of the surrounding audience.
Qin Shou sat at the table and took a sip of wine silently, with a hint of despondency in his eyes.
Horse leather shroud, this is the ultimate glory that belongs to the military.
There are only wolves that die in battle, and there are no dogs that die of old age, which is also a saying that has been circulated in the army.
Qin Shou knew that these old fellows must be very eager to fight, eager to be able to fall heroically on the battlefield, instead of lying on the hospital bed holding his hand and dying depressed.
It's just that the 3,000 brothers who followed him back then, along with their own success, are now less than 100 people left.
How dare you, and how willing you are, let them leave you?
He also rode a horse and a spear, and the sword broke the lonely soul.
The city was one enemy with one hundred, and the night attack was panicked by ten thousand troops.
Now that he is old, why can his blood be cold?
In the dream, he camped on the battlefield and regained glory with blood.
However, the monarchs are especially here, and there is no need for strong soldiers..................
