Juye Zebian.

800 men and horses were stationed in Linshui, and the two hundred young soldiers brought by Luo Cheng were all two armored, one hundred light cavalry and one hundred infantry.Everyone is young, but everyone is energetic.

They set up their camps in order.

Although it was only a temporary camp, the teenagers were not sloppy.Some people set up tents, some dug latrines, others dug ditches, some rejected horses immediately, and some planted antlers.

In front of the main tent of the Chinese army guarding the military tent, a tall military flag stands, and the word Changbai flutters in the wind.

Cheng Yaojin looked at these busy teenagers, and then looked back at the 100 horses he had brought, fifty light cavalry and fifty infantry, who were also camping, but they seemed very lazy.It's the same uniform clothes, but it always feels that it's not neat.The tents they set up were random, not to mention ditches and antlers.

"The soldiers under your command are really obedient."

Luo Cheng took a look at the various families. The 800 people came from a dozen or so families. The few families brought only 50 people, and the most, such as Shan Xiongxin, brought 200 people.

Those who came were all the elites with the best shots from each family, but when they were compared with Zhangqiu Luocheng's men and horses, they were immediately inferior.

The house is neat and orderly.

"There is nothing else, only orders and prohibitions, strict military orders, and clear rewards and punishments."

Zhangqiu's soldiers are all young men, but these young men have also followed Luo Cheng in recent years. They have suppressed bandits and thieves, and they have fought more than a dozen small battles. This is how the spirit is cultivated.This year's juveniles have a bumper harvest in the military fields, each of which has a harvest of hundreds of stones, and they are very happy in their bones.

What's more, although Luo Cheng usually trains the teenagers hard, he has never been stingy about food.Basically, there are four meals a day, the training intensity is high, and the teenagers consume a lot, so he is particularly willing to spend money on this aspect.Three meals in the morning, noon and evening, and even a supper before dark.

There is no shortage of salt and oil in the dishes, and they will kill pigs and sheep every now and then. After practicing and eating enough, the teenagers have changed a lot, and now they are stronger and more energetic.

In particular, everyone trusts Luo Cheng, the superior, very much, so orders are prohibited, and there is no such thing as obedience and obedience.

"There are no less than a hundred gangs of bandits, big and small, in this giant wilderness. If you add them up, the bandits are estimated to be over ten thousand, not to mention the fugitives who are half-citizen, half-thief."

Shan Xiongxin said that he is considered a half-landlord, and there are more and more bandits in Juyeze, and the threat to him is getting bigger and bigger.

"Hahaha, so what about the tens of thousands of thieves and bandits, they are just a mob in a mess. It is difficult for us in Qi County to find such a mob with a lantern. The brothers are a little hungry and thirsty. You know that we in Zhangqiu The battalion likes to suppress bandits the most, why?"

Luo Cheng laughed and told everyone that suppressing bandits is good.If you kill it, you can ask for credit and receive a reward, or if you capture it, it's even better. Whether you keep it as a slave in the camp, or share it with everyone, it's a very valuable thing.A strong prisoner is worth more than cattle and horses.If this thing is planted for a year, even if it collects a hundred stones of millet, it is only worth a dozen guan. If it can be divided into a strong slave, it will be worth [-] to [-] guan, which is much higher than the income from farming.

Therefore, the soldiers of Zhangqiu Battalion are eager to fight, dare to fight and are willing to fight.

Now that these teenagers have turned into soldiers of the Weifu, all of them have better equipment, so they seem to like fighting more.

Fighting means meritorious service, money and food, and getting rich. There is even an advantage to being a mansion soldier over a battalion soldier.To be promoted to the deputy of the team is to become an official from a ninth-rank official.

Shan Xiongxin said with a shy face, "I went to see your Zhangqiu camp at the beginning of the year, and felt that the morale of these soldiers was high, but looking at it now, it is already showing their bravery. Seventh brother, second brother has a merciless request. Now it is incorporated into the Weifu, under the command of You Yiwei, and this equipment and ordnance will be replenished through regular channels in the future, as long as you have money, you can replace it with better and more comprehensive ones, which are much better than our county soldiers and township regiments."

"You see, if you defeat the bandits this time, can you give us the captured equipment?"

Then he immediately added, "Of course I won't take advantage of you Zhangqiu in vain. I can exchange it with you. For example, I can exchange it with you for jujube sticks, although it can't compare with the two I gave you last time. But it is more than enough for military academies below the general level."

Xu Shiji squeezed over, "I'm willing to trade horses!"

Huang Junhan hehe.

"I don't have anything good to hand, but I can trade salt for it."

Cheng Yaojin said, "I don't have jujubes or salt, and I don't have so many horses, but our donkeys are born in Dong'e, and I can exchange them with you, Seventh Brother. Our donkeys in Dong'e are famous far and wide, and they are tall. They are powerful, but much cheaper than horses and mules. It is most suitable for your soldiers to carry equipment, and your group needs to buy six donkeys and mules, which is also in great demand, so it is most suitable to replace them with us."

The brothers all belonged to the county soldiers and township brave ranks. To put it bluntly, they were a group of local security regiments. They were not short of money or people, but they lacked experienced officers and standard equipment.

After all, the imperial court would not give too much equipment to Tutuan, and even if they wanted to buy it, they did not have a mature channel like the Weifu.

The various and messy weapons of the thieves are naturally not worth mentioning to the government soldiers, but they are good things to them.

Luo Cheng is very interested in this kind of transaction, don't look at the 200 people he pulled out this time, everyone is like a tiger and a dragon, all of them are armored, Turkic war horses, but this is already the elite of their mansion.

He came to suppress the bandits, in fact, to make money to buy equipment.

"It's easy to say. Brothers have needs, of course I will find a way to meet them, but for specifics, you can talk to our mansion king. Well, we also have an iron workshop in our mansion, which can process and repair ordnance. If you feel that the captured The equipment is too poor, we can provide repair or recast."

The so-called recasting is actually equivalent to private manufacturing, but Luo Cheng would say in detail that this is repairing the captured equipment to supplement military use, but the real situation is naturally well known to everyone.

"What can it be transformed into, and what is the quality?" Shan Xiongxin asked.

"It doesn't matter if you have a kitchen knife, a hatchet or some kind of butcher's knife, if you send it to the iron workshop in our mansion, they can all be transformed into a ring-headed horizontal knife for you. And no matter what kind of rotten iron spear you are, send it to our , and can also transform all of you into brand-new standard spearheads."

"Except for iron armor, Mo Dao, horse lance, and strong bow and hard crossbow, we can't modify them for the time being, and everything else is generally fine."

"Especially our fees are reasonable and not expensive."

This is an upright opportunity to forge weapons privately.

But Shan Xiongxin and the others didn't point it out. Luo Cheng has his own advantages. He used to be very powerful in Zhangqiu, but now he has become Yingyang Mansion, which is even more unique. Even if his iron workshop is sidelined, nothing will happen. Unlike their native groups, they dare not easily involve in military weapons.

"We don't lack money!" Xu Dayan patted his chest arrogantly.Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin, and Huang Junhan are naturally willing to do this business of repairing old ordnance.

Ever since, the brothers stood by the edge of the river and reached a new deal.After making an appointment to destroy the thieves, the seized ordnance will be distributed to several of them at that time, and they will give Luo Cheng donkeys, horses, salt, and money as compensation.After each family got the ordnance, they sent it to Luo Cheng's iron workshop for 'repair and refurbishment', and gave Luo Cheng some refurbishment and maintenance fees.
