Chapter 020 The conflict between military households and warriors is everywhere ()

"Xu Xingxia killed seven Tartars? He alone killed seven Tartars? He also killed the centurion of the Tartars?" Not long after, Peng Feng's loud voice came again. The people around him immediately subconsciously looked for someone named Xu Xingxia. As a result, the eyes of the Niujiaodun soldiers naturally fell on Xu Xingxia. The eyes of everyone else naturally fell on Xu Xingxia.

"It's him?"

"Killed seven Tartars?"

"And killed the centurion of the Tartars?"

Every Ming army officer and soldier who saw Xu Xingxia felt a little incredible. Xu Xingxia's appearance looked nothing special. He was neither the strongest nor strong. His appearance had almost no obvious characteristics. However, it was such a person who shot and killed seven Tartars! Including the centurion of the Tartars! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it would be a fantasy!

How powerful are the centurions of the Tatar cavalry? Those Ming army officers and soldiers who have had combat experience are very clear. Among the nomadic peoples, the centurions are definitely the first-class warrior. Whether it is close-range hand-to-hand combat skills or mid-range and long-distance riding and shooting, they are the best. Those who can be centurions are all battle-produced figures, and their hands must be covered with the blood of the Han people. It is really difficult to kill a centurion.

Liu Guangliang's expression seemed to have eaten a big duck egg. His nephew actually killed seven Tartars, including a centurion of Tartars. God, he thought he could only kill one or two at most, but he didn't expect that there were seven! Seven Tartars, and they must be promoted and made a fortune.

Of course, Zhang Qiuqing, Wang Shoulu and others looked surprised and a little disbelief. They basically had no impression of Xu Xingxia. They only knew that Xu Xingxia was an inconspicuous pawn in the past, nothing special. They never thought that such an inconspicuous pawn had made such a merit.

The two of them should have been stationed in Weizhen Fort, but they felt that Weizhen Fort was unsafe and would rather live in Pinglu City when they had something to do or not. They didn't know about Xu Xingxia's hunting of the red deer yesterday. However, even if they knew about the red deer, they would still be quite surprised.

After all, the Tatar cavalry is not a red deer, it is much more cruel than a red deer. They all know that in the recent hundred years of history of Ningxia Town, there is no one who killed seven Tartars in one go? They are the Tartars, the most brutal enemy is more cruel than the golden leopard on the Helan Mountain. It is not easy to kill one, let alone seven? If one Tartar kills seven soldiers like Xu Xingxia, it would be more ordinary.

What's even more terrible is that almost every soldier in Niujiao Dun has military achievements. Even Chen Hai killed three! Even the most useless soldiers have a Tartar's head in hand. Could it be that this year's Tartars have become mud-crushed? Just touch them gently, the Tatar cavalry will fall to the ground, with four legs facing the sky, and die? Today's sun really comes out from the west!

"God-telling!"

Someone shouted loudly.

Peng Feng's face changed slightly.

Without any action, he knew who the person talking was.

This bastard guy has always been like this and doesn't give him any face.

The person who spoke was named Wu Datou. No one knew the specific name. He was originally a bandit and was well-known in Helan Mountain. Later, he was surrounded by the government army and was desperate, so he had to surrender to the government army. Strangely, after surrendering to the government army, he and his subordinates actually transformed into war soldiers in Ningxia Town. He himself was constantly promoted and eventually became the garrison of Pinglu City.

In terms of official positions, Wu Datou, who is the garrison, should be one level higher than Peng Feng, who is only a thousand households. The garrison is generally the fourth rank, and Qian Hu is generally the fifth rank. However, since the two are in different systems, the rights and responsibilities of both parties must be unclear. If Peng Feng does not buy Wu Datou's account, it is completely OK.

The Ming Dynasty army always had two different systems, one was the army and the other was the army. The army was the military household, which was hereditary. The so-called father died and the son succeeded. The soldiers were war soldiers, which were recruited, and the so-called eating food for the soldiers.

The army had its own fields and mainly relied on farming to maintain its own life. Weapons, equipment, clothing, shoes, socks, and even forages must be prepared by themselves. The entire army of the army belonged to military households and could not be removed from the family. The early army of the Ming Dynasty was all military. Otherwise, the soldiers were recruited, and they were from free civilians. All their supplies were distributed by the state. The famous Qi family army was soldiers.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty's national defense power was mainly military, and the number of combat soldiers was scarce. Later, the military system gradually became abolished, and the military households became less and less powerful, and they were less able to undertake combat tasks. The country had to increase the number of soldiers recruited. After Jiajing, the main combat power of the Ming army had become combat soldiers. There were a considerable number of combat soldiers stationed in the main strategic areas. As one of the important towns on the nine sides, there were more than 10,000 combat soldiers.

In Pinglu City, there were 500 soldiers stationed, which were directly under the command of Li Guozhen, the general officer of Ningxia Town. In fact, it was said that it was 500 soldiers, but almost half of them were vacant. In the Ming Dynasty's army, both soldiers and soldiers, the vacant situation was the same. Even so, as soldiers, half of their food and salary could be paid in arrears of only two or three months at most.

The equipment of the warriors is much better than that of the military households. The advanced equipment issued on it must be first distributed to the warriors. Not to mention other weapons, just as for muskets, weapons such as flying bird guns, thunder guns, and three-eyed guns used by the warriors are much better than the bird beak guns used by military households. The muskets of the warriors are all equipped with helmets, cotton armor, and protective capabilities, which are much better than the thin military uniforms of Liu Guangliang and others.

It is true that people are so angry that they are so angry. In general, the equipment, quality, training, and morale of the warriors is much stronger than that of the military households. When they go to battle, they mainly rely on the warriors. This also makes the warriors feel that they are the boss of the military town and the main force of the military town. In this way, they naturally look down on most military households.

For military households, of course, they don’t like to see the existence of war soldiers. Why? The food and wages that should have been distributed to military households were intercepted by the military officers. Can the military households be happy? Besides, the existence of war soldiers is a kind of surveillance for military households. If military households want to cause trouble, war soldiers will suppress them. No one wants to have a sharp sword hanging on their heads, right? With such an idea, the conflict between military households and war soldiers is naturally inevitable.

Wu Datou relied on his own as the commander of the warship, and he always looked down on the military households in the garrison. Of course, even Peng Feng did not take it seriously. In fact, the military households did not have any reason to look down on him. Military households had no equipment, no training, and could not even have enough food to eat. Where did they get the combat power? In Wu Datou's view, the army was purely a fight for the soldiers. If they were transferred, he would feel very uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, there were signs of Xu Xingxia's appearance. Niujiaodun's military achievements brought to Peng Feng naturally with joy. However, what they brought to Wu Datou was a huge threat. The soldiers he commanded had never created such military achievements. Peng Feng's military households could actually kill so many Tartars. This is what he could do. If this matter was widely promoted, wouldn't the status of the military households be promoted?

After Peng Feng was happy, he was a little disbelief. A soldier from a military household killed seven Tartars, which seemed like a fantasy. He slowly calmed down his mind and said with a serious expression: "Chen Hai, have you made it clear that this military household called Xu Xingxia did kill seven Tartars? Or did he kill them alone?"

Chen Hai avoided Wu Datou's gaze, nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes."

Peng Feng couldn't help but take a breath. At this time, Peng Feng was absolutely impossible to tell lies. He sensitively realized that perhaps he had been operating from time to time. Well, to be precise, the fate of the military households may have been operating from time to time. In the military households of the garrison, such a hero actually appeared. If he didn't show off in front of Wu Datou, how could he be worthy of Wu Datou's previous arrogance?

"Call Xu Xingxia over." Peng Feng made a pretentious order.

"Xu Xingxia, come here." Chen Hai immediately turned around and shouted loudly.

Xu Xingxia steadily came to the superiors and bent down to salute. The Ming army's military salute only needs to bend down. If it is on a real battlefield, it is not even necessary to bend down, but just straighten your body. Only when you meet the emperor, you need to kneel down. This is very different from the Qing army later. The Qing Dynasty had to kneel down at any time and call you a slave, which was indeed very depressing.

Wu Datou looked up and down at Xu Xingxia, and a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. With Xu Xingxia's figure, it was simply a joke that he could kill seven Tartars. These guys from the Weishu didn't know where they got the Tartar corpses from, pretending to be military achievements. The Weishu used this move, obviously targeting his soldiers. However, he did not say it out loud, but said with a gloomy face: "Are you Xu Xingxia?"

Xu Xingxia straightened her body and said without squinting: "Sir, I am Xu Xingxia."
