The purpose of Xu Xingxia's queue training is not to look good, but to strengthen the need for discipline. Similarly, the same is true for organizing internal affairs. Xu Xingxia wants to make this small group in Niujiaodun fundamentally different from other troops from now on. Many of the soldiers in Niujiaodun are from horse thieves or rangers. Their riding and shooting skills are good, but discipline is a big problem. It does take a lot of effort to consolidate them who are used to being free and casual into a united whole.

Wishes are beautiful, and the process is always complicated. Xu Xingxia deeply realized this. When training the queue, there was a little trouble. A very simple but common problem is that there are many soldiers who can't tell the left and right at all. After turning left and right for half a morning, someone still turned the wrong one.

At the beginning, Xu Xingxia was a little angry and scolded a few people without hesitation. Later, he was already very amused and crying. It was not that these people deliberately made trouble with him, but that they really couldn't tell the difference. For time travelers in later generations, such a problem was really funny. But at that time, it did exist.

It is said that when Qi Jiguang was training the Qi family army, he also encountered such a problem. He needed to use a large number of flags of different colors to teach the soldiers to distinguish between the front, back and left and right. Even so, it took a lot of time and a lot of time to forge the Qi family army. Now, there is no perfect flag combination in Xu Xingxia's hands, so he must think of other ways.

"Take off your left shoes!" Xu Xingxia said seriously.

Some soldiers took off their left-foot shoes, while some soldiers made a mistake and took off their right-foot shoes. Xu Xingxia had to personally give advice and take off their left-foot shoes. Wearing shoes with one foot and not the other foot, we can finally distinguish the left and right. After figuring out the front, back, left and right, the training speed was finally much faster. After three days, we can basically go to a simple queue.

The military households in Weizhen Fort soon got fresh and fun information from Niujiaodu, that is queue training. In the history of Niujiaodu, there is no such training method. Many people are greedy for new things, and from the perspective of Weizhen Fort running. Xu Xingxia has no concept of military secrets at all. Queue training is open and can be watched by others.

To be honest, many Niujiaodun soldiers don’t understand why Xu Xingxia had to conduct such queue training. We are here to fight and kill the Tartars, not to walk the queue for people to see. No matter how well the queue goes, there is no way to kill the Tartars. However, since Xu Xingxia requested this, they could only execute silently and passively.

The queue training is like this, and the internal affairs are even more puzzling. The original fifty-seven military rules have not been refined to such a level. For those soldiers who are born as raiders, it is simply tormenting. No matter what, it must be arranged neatly, which is simply a life-threatening person. If it weren't for the generous treatment and the unscathing food, they might have all escaped quietly.

Of course, most of the time, Xu Xingxia was still training to fight. This was a basic way to save lives, and Xu Xingxia did not dare to be careless. Discipline is important, and the skills to kill enemies are also important. You must catch both hands together and both hands must be strong. Chi Hu was appointed by Xu Xingxia as the chief instructor of riding and shooting, and was responsible for teaching the soldiers to ride and shooting.

Xu Xingxia himself is also training. What he trains is not archery, but close-range fighting. He is very confident in his archery skills, but not particularly confident in his close-range fighting skills. In close-range melee combat, Xu Xingxia is not confident enough to defeat all opponents. Gao Meng is his master, and the two often compete with each other.

Due to the high intensity of training, the soldiers consume a lot of energy every day, and the consumption of war horses is also very large. Fortunately, the logistics support of Niujiao Dun is relatively sufficient. Stewed horse meat, white rice, and steamed buns are enough, and as much as you want to eat. As for war horses, there is also enough for the forage, and occasionally soybean cakes are used as auxiliary ingredients. Of course, the silver in Xu Xingxia's pocket is also poured out like running water.

As the silver in his pocket decreased, Xu Xingxia was increasingly looking forward to the military achievements of killing the Tartars last time, which could be exchanged for silver as soon as possible. However, what made him feel a little depressed was that several days had passed and there was no news at all. Yu Lijun had already run away from the office and the guards, and the reply he received was under research and asked him to go back and wait for news.

Xu Xingxia had a subconscious feeling that it would be difficult to exchange all the military achievements this time into silver. Those fat bosses must be jealous of their contributions. If they place their hopes entirely on the exchange of military achievements, they are afraid that they will not last long. The kingly way to seek wealth is the king. Of course, it is not that easy for others to swallow their military achievements. It depends on whether you have that weight!

"Master Hundred Houses!" On that day, Xu Xingxia was training soldiers when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned his head and found that it was Yu Lijun who was back. Yu Lijun's face was not very good. It must have been because of the events these days that made him exhausted.

Sure enough, Yu Lijun came to Xu Xingxia, lowered his head a little ashamed, and said bitterly: "Sir, my subordinates have no responsibilities, and they have not completed their jobs."

Xu Xingxia nodded and said lightly: "Don't hurry, just say it slowly."

Yu Lijun smiled helplessly and said a little sadly: "Mr. Qianhu said that there is some difficulty in raising so much money and he is not able to raise it for the time being. He wants us to wait with peace of mind. If the money is raised, we will notify us as soon as possible."

Xu Xingxia nodded inadvertently. He knew that this was the result. Since the superior began to worry about himself, he would not easily release the silver reward and strengthen his strength in vain. The best way is of course to drag the word. He would not say it or not, but he had to wait. As for when he had to wait, only God knows.

Fortunately, there is another thing that can be calculated as good news, that is, the food and wages that Peng Feng had promised to pay were finally paid. Yu Lijun said that the food and wages issued had been allocated to Wang Shoulu. If Xu Xingxia had time, he could take people to Weizhen Fort to collect them. The families of Niujiaodun soldiers were all in Weizhen Fort, and every time they received food and wages, they were also made in Weizhen Fort. Such a request was not surprising.

"Let's go! Let's go to Weizhen Fort!" Xu Xingxia said decisively.

He left a few soldiers to guard Niujiaodune to warn the arrival of the Tartars. The other soldiers were taken back to Weizhen Fort by him. Before leaving, Xu Xingxia asked each soldier to be neatly dressed and fully armed, as if he was going to fight. Seeing all this, Yu Lijun wanted to speak but stopped, but finally remained silent with tactfulness.

Xu Xingxia brought his subordinates back to Weizhen Fort, which immediately attracted the attention of many military households. Seeing Xu Xingxia and his subordinates fully armed and fierce, they thought something had happened. Some timid military households thought that the Tartars had come again, so they hurriedly ordered their wives and children to hide everywhere. Xu Xingxia said nothing, ignored anything, and brought a group of subordinates to Wang Shoulu's home directly.

Wang Shoulu had prepared the food and money and placed it in the hall. The silver was packed in small cloth bags, and the food was sacks. Seeing Xu Xingxia coming, Wang Shoulu had no good expression. He spread out a book and asked Xu Xingxia to sign and seal it, and then took the money and grain away. The soldiers of Niujiaodun were ready to go up and carry bags of food away.

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "Wait a minute, we haven't counted yet."

The muscles on the corner of Wang Shoulu's mouth twitched inadvertently and said dissatisfiedly: "Xu Xingxia, what do you mean? Can I still shorten your weight?"

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "I'm sorry, brother, settle the accounts clearly."

He waved his hand and asked Yu Lijun to start counting the money and grain. As a result, Yu Lijun took a rough count and couldn't help frowning, and asked in a deep voice: "Wang Baihu, what's going on? Why are there only half of the money and grain? Is there still money and grain placed elsewhere?"

Wang Shoulu said with a slight smile: "What half? It's all here. You have pointed it clearly, how could it be only half? You have clicked it wrong yourself?"

Yu Lijun's face changed slightly, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

Xu Xingxia looked at Yu Lijun and Wang Shoulu again. Without the explanation from both of them, he understood that this was a naked deduction. Every time he put money and food on his hair, he was deducted from it, and as a result, less than half of it was left. Sometimes, it might even be less than one-third. The others were embezzled by his superiors. Otherwise, how could the people in the superiors have so much money and food to support their servants?

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "Wang Shoulu, what do you mean?"

Wang Shoulu said bluntly: "I'm sorry, this is what the superior means."

Xu Xingxia stared at the other party in a flash and said word by word: "If I heard it correctly, what do you mean is that the Lord Qianhu deducted half of our food and salary?"

Wang Shoulu was also angry, and his horse face stretched out and shouted in anger: "Xu Xingxia, why are you talking nonsense? Don't think that it's great if you kill a few Tartars! I tell you, this is the rule! What is the rule? Do you understand? It's only half of the money and food. If you want it, just throw it down! The superiors are still unwilling to send it to you!"

Xu Xingxia laughed, her face also calmed down, and she shouted: "Zhang Quanfu!"

Zhang Quanfu hurried over, straightened his body, and asked in a deep voice: "Master Baihu, what are the instructions?"
Chapter completed!
