Yellow Turban Troubled Times Chapter 113 The First Mercenary of the Shangdang

Time flickered to the twentieth day of the first month, Guo Jia really lived up to Zhao Xing's expectations, and brought back 500 Hexi good horses and 500 Qiang Hu Qingzhuang, who specialized in M-n "horse breeding" for Zhao Xing.

It turns out that there are still some Qianghu people who are not very relieved, and they are still hesitant for fear of being "black and black" by Zhao Xing. In the end, it was Sahutu of the Black Wolf Clan who couldn't help but be the first to eat crabs, and took the lead in sending horses and young Zhuang to Shangdang, and at the same time sent a son to Shangdang to show favor to Zhao Xing in person.

As long as there is someone who takes the lead, things will go much smoother.

Zhao Xing sent people to send enough grain and grass and good Changhe Daqu to the Qianghu Black Wolf Tribe as agreed, and in order to reward Sahutu's respect and trust in the Shangdang, Zhao Xing also sent some more urgently needed seeds and Y-O materials to the Black Wolf Clan. Only Sahutu happily asked when the party would send the people across the river to farm!

With the demonstration effect of the Black Wolf Tribe, the rest of the Qianghu tribes, who were close to the east bank of the Yellow River and were afraid of being troubled by Zhao Xing, hurriedly took action and sent 3,000 good horses and 2,000 Qiang teenagers from front to back. And a little farther away, close to the border of Liangzhou, no one dumps Zhao Xing, and now they have the Ma family and Dong Fatzi covering!

Why did several tribes join forces to send teenagers this time?

has to start with the first time Guo Jia went to Hexi, he drank and spit out the truth. At that time, Guo Jia was so drunk that he was already unconscious, and whispered to several tribal leaders, "It's best to send some more fifteen-year-old youths over, these dolls are the age of growing bodies, and they have a large amount of food, and they eat for several people per person, and they went to Shangdang Anyway, they were raised by General Pingbei, and after a few years, they were not from their own tribe!" After hearing this, several tribal leaders pondered in their hearts, this is really the truth, so they invariably stuffed the most edible teenagers in their own clan who are in the childbearing period into Shangdang.

When Zhao Xing heard Guo Jia talk about this, he almost didn't burst into tears of laughter! Guo Jia is really a ghost! On a previous occasion, Zhao Xing and Hua Tuo were talking about how to improve the physical fitness of soldiers, and Guo Jia was also present at that time. Zhao Xing repeatedly emphasized that teenagers in the childbearing period must let them keep up with nutrition, the more they can eat, sleep and move well, they will definitely grow taller and stronger in the future, in short, the physique must be stronger.

Guo Jia remembered Zhao Xing's words, and actually kidnapped a group of Qianghu teenagers who were as pure as white paper to Zhao Xing. With Hu Che'er, the "big cousin" in Shangdang, and with these Qiang bearded children, in less than three years, one by one will definitely grow from a horseman to a cavalry division! And then again, as long as a good rider is not the first to fight with the horse? A rider who can raise a horse is like a driver who can modify a formula car, and can better adjust the horsepower, smooth the temper of the horse, and become one with the war horse!

Zhao Xingke has never worried about raising children for nothing. As long as these Qianghu disciples join the party and are mixed into Zhao Xing's troops, then wait to be assimilated by the soldiers from all over the world. With Zhao Xing and Xu Huang as role models in front, it is very fashionable for the Hu Che'er clan to intermarry with the Han people. There are Han soldiers who marry Hu wives, and there are Hu men who marry Han wives, which is not a new thing in the party. In the future, these baby soldiers will grow up slowly, marry a daughter-in-law in Shangdang, regenerate dolls, eat military rations, and hold the household registration of Crouching Tiger City, it is estimated that even if Zhao Xing uses Bang to chase them, they may not be willing to go back. Anyone who doubts the assimilation ability of the Han people will be ignored by Nandao.

With 3,500 good horses and 2,500 Qianghu teenagers all of a sudden, Zhao Xing immediately made another partial adjustment to the existing military structure.

The original cavalry division of the Crouching Tiger Army had a total of 2,000 personnel and nearly 3,000 war horses, and in a battle on Chinese New Year's Eve, nearly 500 horses were lost; later, more than 5,000 war horses of the Xianbei people were captured in 6 consecutive years, and after selection, a total of 6,000 horses were available, and the rest were either seriously injured and distributed to the counties for care and used for civilian use in the future; and those with minor injuries were assigned to auxiliary battalions as horses for logistical transportation.

In terms of personnel, at present there is only one battalion of 500 men in the heavy cavalry regiment, 1,000 men in two battalions of the light cavalry regiment, and 500 men in one independent battalion of guerrilla cavalry. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there were three hundred people killed and seriously wounded.

In order not to attract the attention of the surrounding forces, and at the same time to enhance the strength of the cavalry division, Zhao Xing and Guo Jia discussed carefully for a long time, and finally settled on a plan. With a stroke of Zhao Xing's pen, he selected three hundred of the strongest ones from the Qianghu Qing Shao to supplement the cavalry battalions and fill the vacancy.

Each soldier of the heavy cavalry regiment was equipped with two Qianghu youths as subordinates, and the actual number became 1,500 people, becoming a veritable regiment. The original three companies of a battalion were directly upgraded to battalions, with 500 men each. Each knight of the heavy cavalry regiment had seven horses, which sounds exaggerated, but in fact the knights were equipped with three horses, and the two servants each had two horses, which was considered a low match for heavy cavalry.

Each officer of the light cavalry regiment was equipped with a Qianghu youth as a servant, and the actual number became 2,000. Zhao Xing expanded the original three battalions into four battalions, each with 500 men. Each knight of the light cavalry regiment has three war horses, which sounds very rich, but in fact, each knight is equipped with two horses, and each servant can only guarantee one horse, which is the minimum configuration of light cavalry.

The guerrilla cavalry battalion was upgraded to a guerrilla regiment and changed to three battalions, each battalion of about 300 people, because the number of soldiers was also equipped with a Qianghu teenager as a servant, and the number of people changed from the original 500 to 1,000. Each knight of the guerrilla regiment has three war horses, which sounds very rich, but in fact, each knight is equipped with two horses, and each servant can only guarantee one horse, which is also the minimum configuration of the guerrilla cavalry.

In this way, there are still 200 Qianghu teenagers and 1,500 war horses left, what should we do? Children's shoes, don't forget that Zhao Xing also has a Crouching Tiger juvenile class! So far, the Crouching Tiger juvenile class has only been held for one session, and there have been 100 teenagers between the ages of eight and eleven or twelve, who have been approved by the "Shadow" and the "Crouching Tiger Security Bureau" and become team members after being interviewed by Zhao Xing himself, and only one child of another race (Xu Huang's brother-in-law Hu Feiya. This is an invisible wealth that Zhao Xing has saved for the future, and how much of a role it can play in the future will be waited and seen.

Zhao Xing distributed five hundred war horses and two hundred of the smallest Qianghu dolls to the Crouching Tiger Youth Class. A Crouching Tiger boy with two Qianghu dolls will not be together in the future, except for Zhao Xing when he lectures on military strategy and political economy, and the rest of the competitions, competitions, and even border patrols, they will all be one. According to Zhao Xing's words, it is necessary to train the members of the Crouching Tiger Youth Class as soon as possible to have management and command skills and be able to properly handle the relations between multiple nationalities! Although many people think that Zhao Xing is a bit of a fool, an order given by Zhao Xing makes a group of dolls who are in a state of excitement no longer dare to take it lightly.

Zhao Xingming ordered: If the leader of any group dies unfortunately, that is, the members of the Crouching Tiger Cadet Squad unfortunately die, the two entourages will be executed! The leader of which group dies in non-combat, the leader will be kicked out of the Crouching Tiger Cadet Class! When the members of the Junior Squad reach the age of 15, they must leave the squad and go to the battlefield to fight, and the two Qianghu teenagers who grew up together will be automatically promoted to adjutant and follow the leader to fight. If the leader is promoted due to military merits, the team members will be promoted!

What to do with the last thousand horses left? It's very easy to do! How many people are staring. Unable to help but beg the instructor of the Crouching Tiger Training Regiment to repeat himself, Zhao Xing distributed the last thousand horses to Liyi as special equipment for training cavalry reserves in the future.

Obviously, the total number of the Crouching Tiger Army is still no more than 10,000 (6,000 county soldiers, 2,000 sī soldiers, 2,000 well-known "Taihang horse thieves", 2,000 cavalry divisions, and 2,500 Qianghu teenagers are just helping Zhao Xing enter the army to raise horses as agreed). But is that really the case?

The so-called subordinate is just another way of saying "using the old to lead the new"! Wherever the cavalry runs, the subordinate must not follow him on horseback? The knight usually trains, and the subordinate must also be trained; when the knight goes to the battlefield to follow the people, the cavalry will have to be followed! At that time, as long as Zhao Xing allocates the knights' armor, helmets, and weapons to the cavalry subordinates, the number of cavalry divisions will suddenly change from 2,000 to 4,000! The youngest remaining two hundred Qianghu boys selected by the cavalry division will grow up with the Crouching Tiger boys, and they will definitely be a more loyal and reliable force in the future.

With the combined strength of the above party and the two counties of Xihe, Zhao Xing can only raise so many horses and cavalry at most, but it is enough for Zhao Xing to support him for a while. In the surrounding counties, except for Ding Yuan, who had a thousand cavalry brought over by Lu Bu, the others could not afford to raise cavalry! When Zhao Xing had his own fixed pasture, he would be able to further expand the strength of the cavalry troops when he would occupy the entire state and transfer a large number of displaced people after the Yellow Turban Rebellion to several northern counties and the Hetao region.

Under Guo Jia's prodding and vigorous lobbying, coupled with Zhao Xing's unbridled ideas, the first "mercenary army" composed of ethnic minorities in the Shangdang was quietly formed, attracting almost no attention from outsiders. Who would believe that these dolls could fight in battle? I hope that people who think this way will not encounter the Shangdang cavalry in the future......
