Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 163 Reviewing Village Soldiers

"Oh, then I don't know how Chai Tuanlian was captured?" A general next to the prefect of Su asked.

This person is tall and mighty, with a dignified appearance, a bright armor, and a sword hanging on his waist. Who is this?The commander-in-chief of the Cangzhou Mansion, Niu Ming, and Chai Lin have met him several times, but they have nothing to do with each other.

Niu Ming is from Qian Tongpan's department, and somehow he got mixed up with Su Can.

Chai Lin clapped his hands and said: "Oh, what a pity, what a pity, it's too exasperating, it's a step too late. The trainees of our regiment heard that the masses had reported that Shanlong had been digging ancient tombs, and they had already dug them when they led the troops .I led more than 1000 sons to charge violently, and finally defeated and retreated the bandits. There were also a lot of seizures, but most of their belongings have already been brought back to the camp. Come here, and bring them up for Master Su to have a look at.”

"Yes."

The soldiers quickly brought up more than a dozen boxes, which contained copper coins with long green hairs, porcelain with clay, wine utensils, incense burners, bamboo slips, etc., especially many porcelains were damaged, and the copper tripod was also smashed.

Su Can said distressedly: "Chai Tuanlian, why are you so careless, these are all cultural relics."

"Your Excellency, I don't know. These bandits dug hard and smashed into the tomb with giant logs. This caused the damage to these things, not our army." Chailin also pointed to the scene on the hill in front of him. The mess can be seen from a distance.

Su Can said: "So I wrongly blame Chai Tuan for practicing."

Niu Ming asked: "Chai Tuanlian, have these bandits dug up any gold and silver?"

"I don't know about this. When we came, the bandits had basically returned to camp. I heard that the mountain dragon seemed to have dug tens of thousands of taels of horseshoe gold. I don't know the details. Mr. Su, Mr. Niu, Shi County magistrate, since the three adults are here, why not review our Cangzhou regiment training and cheer up the soldiers." Chai Lin said.

Su Can nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean."

Chai Lindao: "Cangzhou regiment training, all assembled, Master Su please review."

The whining horn sounded, and the drums sounded.

The one hundred light cavalry of Pang Wanchun gathered first, with bows and arrows on their backs and knives.

Niu Zongbing tried not to laugh, and thought he could be called a cavalry soldier. This horse looked like a prairie horse from the Daliao Kingdom, and it was not as tall as a local donkey.

Immediately after Wu Song led 100 strong men to the field, a square team of [-] people, wearing bamboo helmets on their heads, and coarse cloth clothes, but they were neat, but they turned their heads and some had gauze wrapped around their heads. Some had bandages on their arms, and it looked like there were stretchers behind them.Looking at the equipment, it is a hodgepodge, with simple knives, long guns, hunting forks, and even farm tools.

Su Can felt distressed, and asked, "Chai Tuanlian, why were there still casualties yesterday?"

"My lord, you are joking. There is no one who survives a war. Yesterday, more than 300 enemies were wiped out in the first battle. Although the township soldiers had the upper hand, they also killed more than 80 people. They have not been buried yet, and more than [-] people were injured. But don't worry, my lord." , as long as your lord gives an order, you can fight again." Chailin said.

Su Can turned to Shi Wenbing and said, "Magistrate Shi, supply some supplies from your county to Chai Tuanlian, so as to appease the soldiers."

"Good lord."

Shi Wenbing and Chai Lin went to hand over the supplies. In fact, Leling County was so poor that they couldn't produce much.More than [-] catties of grain and more than a dozen pigs, that is to say, to express my heart.

Su Can asked Master Qin, "Master Qin, what do you think of this regiment's training?"

"The formation is neat, quite strong, and the mental outlook is not bad, but it's not good for this age, there are people in their twenties to their fifties, and the equipment is really unbearable, and they are basically transported from the treasury. The batch of obsolete goods." Master Qin said.

Niu Yong smiled and said: "My lord, the country soldiers are just the country soldiers, strong Dinger, they can't be compared with the regular army. Look at that team of cavalry, drawing a tiger is not like a dog, and the horse is not as tall as a donkey, can it fight?"

"Ahem, Mr. Niu, you can't say that. Officer Chai shared the concerns of the government and trained the rural soldiers. There is no credit but hard work. If the rural soldiers are better than the regular army, what do you need the regular army for?" Su Can said.

Niu Ming was robbed by Su Can, and he was so angry that it was not appropriate to get angry deliberately.

"The final general is willing to issue a military order to take down this bandit camp within three days." Niu Ming said.

Su Can said, "Okay, Master Qin, bring a pen and paper."

Niu Ming quickly wrote the military order and handed it over to Su Can.

Niu Ming is not a fool, he knows a little about the situation of the Guoshanlong bandits.Originally there were 300 people, after two blows by Chai Lin, now there are at most 10,000 people. Of course, these are not important. The important thing is that these bandits dug up a large cemetery. A 8000+ gold and silver, these are real gold and silver.He, the general soldier of Cangzhou, has 6000 troops under his jurisdiction, but there are actually 3000 people.Except for the soldiers and civilians defending the city, it is not a problem to mobilize [-] people.

After handing over the supplies, Chai Lin came back and said, "Lord Su, I will leave these bottles, pots, antique calligraphy and paintings to you. We rough people don't understand such elegance."

Su Can said with a smile: "Chai Tuanlian was joking. I think the copper coins are also worth thousands of guan. You can take them back to practice copper coins. As for the rest, don't worry, I will allocate rewards for your team training in a few days. Wait for the cow tomorrow." As soon as the general soldiers arrive, you can go back, the new recruits have suffered heavy casualties, and are not suitable for further battles."

Chai Lin clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Master Su for your understanding, I have another matter, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

Su Can said: "Just say what you want, when did you become such a mother-in-law?"

"Looking at the inscription yesterday, this tomb seems to be the tomb of King Bohai in the Han Dynasty. Although it was still destroyed by bandits, the wilderness must not be exposed. Your lord should arrange for someone to bury it." Chai Lin suggested.

Before Su Can could speak, Niu Ming said, "Don't worry, Chai Tuanlian. As soon as the army arrives tomorrow, I will arrange for soldiers to bury the tomb."

"Well, we will return to Chaijiazhuang early tomorrow morning." Chai Lin said.

That night, at the official post in Leling, Su Can inspected the trophies that Chai Lin had handed in. There were all kinds of trophies, including jade, porcelain, and bronze tripods.

"Haha, this Chai Lin really doesn't know what to buy. If these things are transported to the south and slowly digested, they can be worth at least three to fifty thousand." Su Can said happily.

Master Qin said: "I don't think so, this Chai Lin is very cunning, I'm afraid he has kept all the better ones."

"If you want the horse to run, but also want the horse not to eat grass, that's impossible. They have suffered so many casualties, and the cost of mobilizing troops is huge. Whether he stays or not, we have to express that we will allocate 2000 yuan from the government when we go back. Two silver coins will reward the sergeant." Su Can said.
