- Twenty years ago, when there was still a horse market in the north, a high-quality war horse only cost ten taels of silver, and five hundred horses only cost five thousand taels.
Later, the Qingyuan Kingdom repeatedly offended the Jin Dynasty to plunder property and people. The border was closed and the horse market was cancelled. Coupled with Qingyuan Kingdom's deliberate blockade, the price of a war horse increased several times, including the cost of transporting it to Guangling. For the cost, twenty thousand taels of silver would probably not be enough.
By letting the Taiping Religion use war horses to replace people, Luo Chong saves trouble and money. It feels like a good deal. After all, the two great masters do not pose a threat to us, and there will be no future troubles if they are let go.
There are now more than a hundred war horses, and with these five hundred more, it is barely possible to form five hundred cavalry. If there are not enough horses, you can find horse thieves from all over the country during the future cavalry training. It is not too difficult to get a thousand horses.
After another ten days or so, the five hundred soldiers selected from the refugee recruits had already developed their internal strength. This was because the training methods provided by Luo Chong were so good that even a person with a stupid mind could develop them. Internal strength, as for how high your future achievements will be, it all depends on the individual.
In this case, the number of Luo Chong's soldiers would reach 800, in addition to 1,000 ordinary soldiers and 500 militiamen.
If there is any large-scale battle in the future, it will be enough to leave one hundred ordinary soldiers at home and five hundred militiamen to guard the town. The rest can be dragged out to fight.
On this day, Luo Chong received a message from Guangling Guard, saying that his official position had been reduced. Not only was he approved as a fourth-rank Ranger General, but he was also given a fifth-rank martial title: Xiaoqi Lieutenant.
Martial Arts is just an honorary reward, but it is quite useful in many cases. For example, if you encounter a promotion opportunity and you compete with another person for the position, both of them are fourth-grade military generals, it is quite difficult for the court to choose. At this time, Wu Xun is something that can play a role. It proves that you have made great achievements and made certain contributions to the country, so you will inevitably become a priority.
¡°Furthermore, when you do something wrong and face punishment, as long as you take care of yourself up and down, it will only erase your military honors, but you can still keep your official position, which is equivalent to adding an extra layer of protection.
Having it is better than not having it, it¡¯s a free benefit anyway.
Furthermore, the words "two thousand taels of silver" appear 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 wasted money on money was because all dynasties would give money when rewarding their ministers, with almost no exceptions. The emperors of this generation are also very concerned about face. Even if I am not willing to give it, I still have to shout to support face.
"After all, no minister has the guts to go to the capital to demand debt from the emperor. Who dares to be so stupid? Even if he gives it to you at the time, he will find excuses to get rid of you later. This emperor has such a character.
Then, Luo Chong can set off and go to Chang'an City, the provincial capital of Guangning Prefecture, to meet with the Commander-in-Chief and receive the letter of appointment and everything related to the official position.
Go get it yourself, no one will give it to you. In order to save money, the court and the local government are stingy to this extent. It is really nonsense to say it.
Horse hooves rumble
A hundred cavalrymen followed their thousand-household master, kicking up a large amount of dust and throwing it behind them.
The journey was more than 500 miles. The reason why we brought so many cavalry was of course not to protect Luo Chong, but to train troops.
Twenty veterans, eighty new recruits who have never seen blood, one master and four apprentices. If there are horse thieves entrenched along the way, then go and suppress them. Luo Chong is already a ranger general. As long as he leads troops to fight in Quang Ninh Province, it does not count as crossing the border.
He slept outside the nearest county town at night and sent scouts into the county town to inquire about the news: Are there any horse thieves here?
After traveling more than a hundred miles in one day, news came out the next night. Sure enough, there was a group of horse thieves who had been wreaking havoc here for many years in the nearby Henghu Plain. No one could stop it. The government just turned a blind eye and basically didn't care.
Of course, it doesn¡¯t matter. Official thieves and horse thieves have to pay their dues every month before paying filial piety.
What I didn¡¯t say, destroy it!
After spending some money to find out the exact location of the horse thieves' lair, they went out at night, quietly sneaked into the thieves' den, and assassinated them one by one.
But after all, they were only eighty recruits who had never seen blood. They only wiped the necks of more than thirty horse thieves before something happened. After a series of screams and screams, the thieves' den turned into a hornet's nest and became a mess.
Horse thieves are very vigilant. They have weapons around them when they sleep. Even if they are hugging a woman under the quilt, they can jump out with their bare buttocks and kill them.
Fortunately, Luo Chong was there to help the soldiers hold down the formation. The night could not block his sight. He would shoot an arrow at anyone who was in danger, but he would not kill him. Instead, he would let the recruits chop him to death with his own hands during the fight.
?Kill people and practice courage!
¡°Coupled with twenty instructors who were highly skilled in martial arts and capable of killing people, protecting them in the dark. After ten minutes, all the horse thieves were dead, and only a dozen of the recruits were slightly injured. Apply some gold sore medicine and it will be cured in a few days.
After daybreak, we counted the results and found that the horses were in their early 200s, and about 60% could become qualified war horses.
All kinds of property found in the den of thieves were picked out and easily taken away, and all were loaded on the back of the horse. Anyway, we had more than 200 spare horses, so we didn¡¯t want them in vain.
Keep on going!
On the morning of the fourth day, they arrived at Chang'an City. Luo Chong ordered most of the sergeants to camp outside the city to take care of the horses and property. He only took Chen Tiezhu and Yue Hu with him and entered the city.
Luo Chong has four great kings under his command. In terms of martial arts, Hong Haishan has profound skills, Ma Hanzi is the strongest in horse fighting, Chen Tiezhu is the most powerful, and Yue Hu has a special ability to explode instantly.
In addition to the standard waist knives, Luo Chong customized four weapons for horse fighting. Hong Haishan is a spear, Ma Hanzi is a spear, Chen Tiezhu is a giant mace, and Yue Hu is a sword similar to the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. Long knife.
Although it is made of ordinary iron, in Luo Chong's hands, it must be regarded as a magic weapon. At least it is not easy to be damaged. It will not chip or curl when it collides with the enemy's weapon.
Long weapons in horse warfare do not need to be too sharp, because the horse is too fast, coupled with the speed of swing, an iron plate half a centimeter thick can cut an enemy wearing armor in half.
Chang'an City, the central city in Guangning (province), is also the largest city with the largest population. The second-grade civilian governor and the second-grade military attache and commander-in-chief are all sitting here.
Riding horses is allowed in the city, and Luo Chong and the other three quickly found the Command Department of the General Military Mansion, which is the office of the General Soldier in Guangning.
There were people in the square outside who were responsible for taking care of the horses. Luo Chong and the other two entered the command office on foot. They were blocked in the first courtyard and asked to unload all weapons and store them here.
After entering the courtyard empty-handed, Luo Chong was asked again: the accompanying guards could not go in anymore and asked them to wait here. There was a special resting place here: several empty rooms were filled with long benches, and there were also benches in the courtyard. A well can be used to draw water for drinking.
Soldiers in ancient times were treated like this.
When you enter the courtyard for the third time, Luo Chong, who is wearing official uniform, has to show a series of certification documents and official seals, and then just wait. No one can say when the Commander-in-Chief will have time to meet you.
These procedures must be in place. A dignified second-grade official, the supreme commander of a military region, can be seen by anyone he wants. What if he is an assassin?
He hasn't received the commission from General Ranger yet. Luo Chong is currently only a fifth-rank Qianhu, so he is very inconspicuous here. There are several officers in the yard who are also waiting to be summoned. They are either fourth-rank or from below. The fourth rank, judging only from the official uniform, is higher than Luo Chong's official position.
This is still a provincial capital. If you go to the major departments in the capital, there will be high-ranking officials everywhere, and the fourth rank is not as good as a dog.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
After waiting for a short time, someone wearing armor came in aggressively and cursed. He was a third-grade general.
The second rank of the chief soldier, the second rank of the deputy chief soldier, and then the third rank of generals are counted. Therefore, this guy must be one of the top big shots in the military forces of Quang Ninh Province. No wonder he can be in the rank of chief soldier. The command department is so rampant.
This man looks to be less than forty years old. He is tall and stout. He is almost a square with a full set of armor.
"I guess he just came back from official duties and hasn't had time to take off his armor. I don't know what made him so angry."
Seeing him coming, everyone else in the yard hurriedly dodged and performed standard military salutes, but they didn't dare to say anything for fear that if there was any inappropriate movement, they would be targeted by him and they would be beaten for no reason. A scolding.
Most of the soldiers are rude, and it is extremely normal for them to be scolded and scolded. If he were a civil servant and his superiors beat his subordinates, the subordinates would be able to confidently refer to him.
"The officer was beaten by his superiors and no one would pay attention to you no matter where you complained."
Everyone else avoided it, except Luo Chong, who still stood still. It's not that Luo Chong was just looking for trouble and wanted to provoke him. He was standing close to the pillar. There was no need to be scared and hide behind the pillar, right?
But just because Luo Chong didn't move, the sulking general caught him out of the corner of his eye.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
He came over shaking his iron plate, raised his finger and pointed at Luo Chong's nose: "Boy, where did you come from? Is he a Qianhu?"
"Guangling Wei Guangling Town Thousand Households Office, Luo Dong. "
Luo Chong reported his identity calmly: "Come to see the Commander-in-Chief and receive the military talisman and official seal of my Ranger General."
"Oh, it's you!"
The general was stunned for a moment, and then he opened his mouth and smiled: "It's you, Guangling Ping, who took the lead in the chaos, and actually asked for the Ranger General who hasn'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 meant to laugh at Luo Chong, but that General Che had to laugh at the jokes he told, but they couldn¡¯t laugh too loudly for him to hear.
This guy has a nickname, called Car Roller. Not only does it mean that his two sledgehammers can roll like wheels on the battlefield, but he also has a fiery temper. When something happens, he will rush forward without hesitation. , whoever is caught is beaten, it is unreasonable.
Che Gunzi, the number one general under the General Soldier.
"Yes, it's me."
Luo Chong still had such a neither humble nor overbearing tone, and said calmly: "I will leave after receiving the things. The general does not need to pay attention to me."
"How about that?"
As soon as Che Gunzi pressed Luo Chong's shoulders, he pressed down with a strong force. He was still saying: "I know you, the Hundred Man Killer in the Battle of Hongyu, fucked my old opponent in Mueller's head." I've already wanted to see you and ask you why you can do this!" r1148 - Didn't finish reading?
