Chapter 027 The thoughts of the rest of the army

Xu Xingxia and his group pulled the Tartars' horses and corpses. When they returned to Weizhen Fort, it was already noon. Although there might be a banquet in the evening, there might be fish and meat in the meals, they could have a big meal, but they didn't care about lunch. Therefore, every soldier in Niujiaodu took out the black steamed buns and took the water to solve the problem.

When there were three or four miles away from Weizhen Fort, there were impatient military households coming to greet them. Most of them were young military households, basically military households, and so on. The Ming Dynasty ward system, and each military household had only one male officer who was officially in service and could receive food and salary. This person was called Zhengjun.

However, other male men in this family cannot leave the garrison and engage in other professions. The combat readiness forces they are also included in the garrison system are called Junyu, Yu Ding, as the name suggests, they are substitutes for the army. In the words of later generations, they are reserves. If there is a problem with the army, the army or the army will be supplemented. When necessary, the army or the army will be recruited by the officers and will go directly to the battlefield.

For example, Xu Xingxia was originally Junyu. He was only converted to the army after his father was injured. After he became the army, Xu Xudong became the army. If Xu Xingxia unfortunately died, then Xu Xudong would be replenished into the army after he was fifteen years old. Anyway, as long as the male in the family was not dead, the vacancy of the army must be filled. If Xu Xudong also died, no one could make up for it.

To be serious, in Weizhenbao, there are quite a few resident numbers. I dare not say that there are many, but there are definitely three or four hundred people. In ancient times, there was no night entertainment, and after dark, couples basically went to bed. As long as they had the energy, they would generally engage in the most primitive entertainment activities. The customs at that time were all about the prosperity of both family members and wealth, and the more male members there were, the better. Therefore, ordinary families would have seven or eight children, many, and even more than a dozen.

The children of the Xu family and the Liu family are already considered to be small. The main reason is that the family is poor and they are not saved when they are born, and they all die prematurely. There are two brothers and two sisters above Xu Xingxia, and two younger brothers and two younger sisters below. Unfortunately, they are not saved. If these brothers and sisters are saved, the Xu family will definitely be a big family, with five or six males alone.

In the past, most of the military remnants had no interest in becoming a regular army, and even had a strong sense of resistance. The official army had not much money and food, and they were always owed, and were at risk of being shot by Tatar cavalry. Instead of being a regular army, it would be better to be a tenant for the rich. As a tenant, you can at least have a little full. This is the basic reason why many military households fled. They would rather be a tenant than be a regular army.

However, Xu Xingxia's appearance made some Junyu feel that perhaps it is a good choice to be a regular army. If you have the chance, you can kill one or two Tartars, you will never live in vain in your life. After all, you should not expect anything other than being able to fill your stomach with others. Being a regular army will at least have the hope of getting promoted and making money.

Of course, the risk of being a regular army is quite high. Maybe you will encounter the Tatar cavalry at any time. However, even if you don’t become a regular army, you may encounter the Tatar cavalry. Instead of dying unarmed and humiliated by the arrows of the Tatars, it is better to take up weapons and fight against the Tatars. Maybe there will be surprises.

The Junyu people had such an idea, which actually had a lot to do with Xu Xingxia. Because most Junyu people knew what Xu Xingxia had before. With Xu Xingxia's ability, he could kill seven Tartars, including a centurion of a Tartar. With their ability, their record should not be very bad, right?

While the remnants of the army envied Xu Xingxia, Xu Xingxia was also looking at the remnants of the army. Seeing so many young people, Xu Xingxia had only one thought in his mind, that is, how to bring these young people under his command. Weizhen Fort does not lack soldiers, which is certain. There is no shortage of soldiers in the office, the guards, and the towns, which is certain. However, the garrisons in Ningxia Town are always unable to be filled with the essays.

There is no doubt that there must be a problem here. The most critical problem is that the original garrison structure was very unreasonable. Each household could only produce one person to become a regular army, wasting a large number of troops. Moreover, because it was stipulated that each household must produce one person, some unqualified soldiers were also incorporated into the regular army. On the contrary, some military surplus with very good physical fitness were excluded from the regular army.

Obviously, if Xu Xingxia wants to obtain a team of better quality, he must fundamentally change such regulations. He needs to gather all the best young people into the team, regardless of whether there are already people in each military family, or whether there is no one in the army. Well, this is already a bit like a recruitment method.

"Here you come!"

"Here you come!"

"Here you come!"

Suddenly, there were bursts of cheers coming from the front.

Xu Xingxia looked up and found that the team had returned to Weizhen Fort. Outside Weizhen Fort, a large number of people had gathered. Xu Xingxia glanced casually and saw only the black heads. There were probably more than a thousand people. There were old men, women and children. It seemed that the people of Weizhen Fort all came out to welcome the meritorious ministers to triumph.

Indeed, the people of Weizhenbao all came out in full swing. They were all waiting anxiously. What do those who killed the Tartars look like now? Especially the parents of those who had made meritorious ministers were waiting anxiously. Although Liu Xiaochun swears that no one was injured in the guards of Niujiaodun, only one soldier named Liu Jinbiao was unfortunately killed in battle. But how could parents feel completely at ease?

Xu Fuqing was also carried by his neighbors and appeared in the welcome crowd. As for Xu Xingxia's mother, Wang, she quietly went to the City God Temple and thanked his son for his blessing. Xu Xudong held his sister and occupied the best position on the city tower, waiting for his brother to come back from a high position. Other children knew that their brother had made great contributions and consciously gave them the best viewing position.

The first thing Xu Fuqing saw was of course officials at all levels of Qianhu Institute. Qianhu Peng Feng had just returned, and the one who led the team was Zhang Qiuqing, the deputy Qianhu. Following him were Wang Shoulu, Luo Dingyuan and other hundreds of households, and the likes of the sanctuary. In addition, there were some unknown households, the ones like the ones, and the likes of the sanctuary, and the likes of the sanctuary. There were twenty or thirty people.

Seeing the warm welcome crowd, officials at all levels of Qianhu Office were refreshed and happy, and felt that they had never felt so comfortable. In the history of Ningxia Town, it seemed that there was no such brilliant record. He had only one person killed in battle, but killed twenty-three Tatar cavalry. Such record would definitely be reported to Weili, town, and court, and would definitely receive consecutive commendations. Maybe the court would send people to inspect.

Mr. Xu, Xu Xudong and Niu Niu all opened their eyes wide and looked for Xu Xingxia's shadow in the crowd. After a while, they found Xu Xingxia's figure behind officials at all levels of the Thousand Household Institute. Yes, it was indeed Xu Xingxia. The eldest son or brother they were most familiar with. Behind Xu Xingxia, there were seven war horses, and there was a corpse of a Tatar cavalry on top of each war horse. It turned out that the seven Tartars had killed!

From afar, Xu Xingxia also saw his father. The one who carried Xu Fuqing was a neighbor of the Xu family, named Liu Da Naomai. Xu Xingxia didn't know Liu Da Naomai's name. Anyway, he knew that this person was a little confused and was not very reliable in doing things. His son Liu Chuang served in Niujiaodun. In Xu Xingxia's eyes, this Liu Chuang was actually a good seedling. The problem was that he could not get guidance from experts and could only be buried temporarily.

Surrounded by the crowd, Xu Xingxia and others walked by the cheers of the crowd. At this time, Xu Xingxia had no chance to talk to his father. He could only make a gesture with his father and was surrounded by the crowd and headed towards Qianhu House. Well, to be precise, it should be the Deputy Qianhu House. The largest and best residence in Weizhenbao is the Deputy Qianhu Zhang Qiuqing's family. The evening celebration banquet will be held here.

All the soldiers of Niujiaodun returned with their own spoils. However, when they went to the deputy Qianhu house, only Xu Xingxia and Chen Hai were represented. This is certain. The hierarchy within the Ming army was very strict and could not be easily surpassed. Although they made some military achievements and received rewards, it was still impossible to eat and drink with their superiors. If Xu Xingxia had not had his military achievements too outstanding, he would not have been able to have a banquet at night.

"The commander of the guard, Lord Deng, is here!"

Suddenly, someone screamed sharply.

The crowd around suddenly became commotion. Xu Xingxia and his group were moving forward hurriedly stopped. Zhang Qiuqing and other officers hurriedly walked towards the Fort Gate. Peng Feng, who was resting in the Qianhu House, also hurriedly came out, turned over and ran towards the Fort Gate, and welcomed the guard commander Deng Rubai.

Commander Wei actually came in person? Oh my God, Xu Xingxia has a great face this time! Many military households were secretly envious. For the military households in Weizhen Fort, Qianhu was already the supreme existence, and Commander Wei was not at all with them. Unexpectedly, even Commander Wei came in person! It is a glory for the commander Wei to eat and drink with Commander Wei. I don’t know how many Taoist practices I had to practice in my previous life.

"Da da da da!"

Sure enough, with the sound of horse hooves, a team of cavalry with distinctive armor arrived.
