Twenty years ago, when there was a horse market in the north, a high-quality war horse cost ten taels of silver, and five hundred horses were only five thousand taels.

Later, the Qingyuan Kingdom repeatedly violated the Jin Dynasty and plundered the property and population, the border was closed, the horse market was canceled, coupled with the deliberate blockade of the Qingyuan Kingdom, the price of a war horse increased several times, and then counting the cost of transportation to Guangling, 20,000 taels of silver was probably not enough.

Let the Taiping Sect use the war horse to replace people, Luo Chong saved trouble and money, and it feels very cost-effective, after all, the two great respects are not a threat to us, and there will be no trouble if they are let go.

Now there are more than 100 war horses, plus these 500 horses, it is barely possible to form 500 rangers, and there are not enough horses, so you can find horse thieves from all over the world in the future ranger training, and it is not much difficulty to get 1,000 horses.

After another ten days or so, the five hundred pro-soldiers selected from the refugee recruits have all trained their internal strength, because the cultivation exercises provided by Luo Chong are really good, don't be stupid and scary, you can practice internal strength, as for how high your achievements will be in the future, it all depends on the individual.

In this way, the number of Luo Chong's personal soldiers will reach 800 people, in addition to 1,000 ordinary soldiers and 500 militiamen.

In the future, if there is any large-scale battle, it will be enough to leave a hundred ordinary soldiers at home and five hundred militiamen to guard the town, and all the rest can be pulled out to fight.

On this day, Luo Chong received a message from Guanglingwei, saying that his official position had come down, and not only did the fourth-rank ranger general get it, but also gave him the title of martial arts of the fifth grade: Xiao Cavalry Captain.

Wuxun is just an honorary reward, but it is also very useful in many cases, such as when you encounter a promotion opportunity, you compete with another person for a post, and they are also military generals of the fourth grade, and the court is quite difficult to choose.

Then if you do something wrong, when you face punishment, as long as you get the dots up and down, then it will only erase your martial arts, and your official position can still be kept, which is equivalent to adding an extra layer of protection.

Having it is better than nothing, anyway, it is a benefit given for nothing.

Moreover, the words 'two thousand taels of silver' appeared again in the reward, but there is no doubt that it is still a mirror and it is impossible to get it.

The reason why the imperial court released empty cannons in terms of silver is because all dynasties will give money when rewarding courtiers, there are almost no exceptions, and the emperors of this generation are also dead to save face, even if I am reluctant to give, I have to shout to save face.

After all, no courtier has the courage to go to the capital to ask for debts from the emperor, who dares to be so stupid, even if it is given to you at the time, he will find an excuse to clean you up later. This emperor is such a character.

Then, Luo Chong can set off and go to Chang'an City, the capital city of Quang Ninh Prefecture, to meet with the chief soldier and receive a letter of appointment and a thing related to his official position.

Go get it yourself, no one will send it to you, in order to save money in the court and the local government, Dute Ma has come to this kind of journey, which is really quite nonsense.

Horseshoe rumbling......

A hundred cavalry followed their Thousand Households, kicking up a large cloud of dust and leaving it behind.

traveled more than 500 miles, and the reason why he brought so many cavalry was of course not to protect Luo Chong, but to train the troops.

Twenty veterans, eighty recruits who had never seen blood, one master with four apprentices. Along the way, if there are horse thieves entrenched, then go and kill them, Luo Chong is already a ranger general, as long as he is in Quang Ninh Province, leading troops to fight is not considered to be out of bounds.

Sleeping outside the nearest county seat at night, send scouts into the county seat to inquire about the news: Do you have horse thieves here?

After traveling more than 100 miles in one day, there was news the next night that there was indeed a group of horse thieves in the nearby Henghu Plain who had been wreaking havoc here for many years, and no one could control it, and the government just turned a blind eye and basically didn't care.

Of course, it doesn't matter, the official thief family, and the horse thief are also handed in before filial piety every month.

Didn't say it, cut it!

It took a little money to find out the exact location of the horse thief's lair, or to go out at night, sneak into the thief's lair, and assassinate them one by one.

But after all, it was also eighty recruits who had never seen blood, and they only wiped the necks of more than thirty horse thieves, and after a series of screams, the thieves' den became a hornet's nest and became a mess.

Horse thieves are very vigilant, and when they sleep, they have weapons around them, and even if they are holding a woman in the bed, they can jump out and slash with their bare buttocks.

Fortunately, Luo Chong helped the soldiers to suppress the formation, and the night could not block his sight, and when he saw who was in danger, he shot an arrow over, but he would not shoot to death, but let the recruits hack to death with their own hands in the fight.

Kill, practice courage!

Coupled with the protection of twenty highly skilled and murderous instructors in the dark, after ten minutes, the horse thief died, and only a dozen of the recruits were slightly injured. Apply some gold sore medicine and it will be fine in a few days.

After daybreak, the results were counted, and there were horses in their early 200s, and about sixty percent of them could become qualified war horses.

All kinds of belongings that were turned out of the thieves' den, and those that were easy to take away, were all put on horseback, and there were more than 200 spare horses anyway, so don't be in vain.

Keep on your way!

On the morning of the fourth day, he arrived at Chang'an City, Luo Chong ordered most of the soldiers to camp outside the city, take care of the horses and property, and he only took Chen Tiezhu and Yue Hu with him, and entered the city.

Luo Chong has four King Kongs under him, only in terms of martial arts, Hong Haishan has profound skills, Ma Hanzi is the strongest horse fight, Chen Tiezhu is the most powerful, and Yue Hu is the ability to explode in an instant is more special.

In addition to the standard waist knife, Luo Chong tailored four weapons for horse warfare, Hong Haishan is a lance, Ma Hanzi is a gun, Chen Tiezhu is a giant mace, and Yue Hu is a long knife similar to the Qinglong Yanyue knife.

Although they are all made of iron, after Luo Chong's hands, they must be regarded as divine weapons, at least they are not easy to damage, and they will not collapse or curl their blades at every turn when they collide vigorously with the enemy's weapons.

The long weapon of the horse battle does not need to be too sharp, because the speed of the horse is too fast, and with the speed of swinging, the half-centimeter-thick iron plate can also cut the enemy wearing armor in half.

Chang'an City, the central city of Quang Ninh (province), is also the most populous and largest city. The civil governor of the second grade, and the military attache of the second grade, are all seated here.

Horseback riding was allowed in the city, and Luo Chong and the three of them quickly found the command department of the General Military Office, that is, the office of the General Army of Guangning.

There was a special person in charge of guarding the horses in the square outside, and Luo Chong and the three of them entered the command division on foot, and they were also blocked in the courtyard where they first entered, and asked to untie all their weapons and store them here.

Empty-handed into the second courtyard, Luo Chong was asked again: the accompanying guards could not go in again, let them wait here, there was a special resting place: several empty houses were full of benches, and there was a well in the courtyard to draw water and drink.

Ancient soldiers, that's all.

When he entered the courtyard on the third day, Luo Chong, who was wearing an official uniform, had to show a series of certificates, as well as the official seal, and then waited, when the chief soldier would see you indirectly, no one can say for sure.

These procedures must be as they should be, a dignified second-class officer, the supreme commander of a military region, how can anyone see him if he wants to, what if he is an assassin?

has not yet obtained the letter of appointment of the ranger general, Luo Chong is still only a thousand households of the fifth grade, and it is very inconspicuous here, and there are several officers in the courtyard who are also waiting to be summoned, either from the fourth grade, or from the fourth grade, judging from the official uniform, they are all higher than Luo Chong's official position.

This is still a provincial capital, if you go to the major departments in the capital, it will be more important officials everywhere, and the four products are not as good as dogs.

Whoa......

After waiting for a short time, someone wearing armor and scolding came in, and he was a third-grade general.

The general soldier is the second rank, the deputy chief soldier is the second rank, and then the number of generals is the third grade, so this guy must be the top few big men in the military forces of Quang Ninh Province, no wonder he can be so rampage in the general army command department.

The man looked to be no more than forty years old, burly, rather stout, and almost square in a full suit of armor.

It was estimated that he had just returned from official duties, and the armor had not yet had time to be removed, and he didn't know what made him so annoyed.

Seeing him coming, the other people in the courtyard hurriedly dodged and gave a standard military salute, but they didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that if there was an undue movement, they would be targeted by him, and they would be scolded for no reason.

Most of the soldiers are rude, and they are trained and scolded for ear scraping or something, which is extremely normal. If he is replaced by a civil official, the superior will beat the subordinate, and the subordinate can confidently join him.

The officer was beaten by his superiors, and he didn't pay attention to you anywhere.

Everyone else dodged, but Luo Chong stood still. It's not that Luo Chong has nothing to do and wants to provoke him, he was originally standing against the pillar, so there is no need to be scared to hide behind the pillar, right?

But because Luo Chong didn't move, he was caught by this smouldering general from the corner of his eye.

Bang Bang Bang Bang ......

He came over shaking the piece of iron, raised his hand and pointed at Luo Chong's nose: "Boy, where did you come from?

"Guangling Wei Guangling Town Thousand Households, Luo Dong. ”

Luo Chong calmly reported his identity: "Come to see the chief soldier and receive the official seal of my ranger general." ”

"Oh, that's you!"

The general was slightly stunned, and then cracked his mouth and smiled: "It's you kid, Guangling Ping Chao took the lead, and he actually asked for a ranger general who hadn't appeared for many years?"

The other generals in the courtyard also laughed, but they didn't laugh out loud.

It's not that they deliberately laughed at Luo Chong, but that General Che couldn't help laughing at the jokes, but he couldn't laugh too loudly and be heard by him.

This guy has a nickname, called Che Roller, not only that he can play with two sledgehammers on the battlefield like a wheel, but also that he has a hot temper, and when he encounters something, he rushes up regardless of who he catches, and he is unreasonable.

Che Roller, the number one fierce general under the General Army.

"Yes, it's me. ”

Luo Chong still said in such a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, and said flatly: "I'll leave after I get something, the general doesn't need to care about me." ”

"What then!"

As soon as the car roller pressed Luo Chong's shoulder, there was a strong force to press down, and he was still saying: "I know that you, the hundred people of the Hongyu Battle have taken away all the brains of my old opponent Muller." I've wanted to meet you for a long time, and ask you, how can you do it!"
