Chapter 088 Whoever has a big fist is the boss

Xu Xingxia and others did not return to Weizhen Fort, but went directly to Niujiaodun. Although Peng Feng, Qianhu, did not express his anger on the spot and agreed to pay the full amount of money and grain, Xu Xingxia clearly felt that the relationship between him and Peng Feng had completely broken down. Although the two sides had never had any special relationship before, and even had no chance to get along alone, from now on, as long as they had the opportunity to make things difficult for him, Peng Feng would definitely not let it go.

This is a foreseeable consequence. There may be some other troubles in places he could not foresee. Kung Fu guns, making trips, and plucking hairs by geese, were super proficient in every official of the Ming Dynasty. Peng Feng is of course no exception. However, Xu Xingxia was not worried. The great man had already said to the point that power came from the gun. As long as he had a strong armed force in his hand, he didn't have to worry about sudden changes in the situation and just sit on a fishing boat.

Today he was able to force Peng Feng to vomit out the money and grain he had swallowed, but he was not relying on his own force? Without his excellent archery skills, the support of twenty or thirty soldiers from Niujiaodun, and the hundreds of military households in Weizhenbao as a backing, would Peng Feng surrender easily? Of course it was impossible. He would mercilessly erase all those who tried to rebel.

"Everyone, we are back safely."

Xu Xingxia warmly greeted Niujiaodun's soldiers.

The Niujiaodu soldiers who did not go to Pinglu City were very concerned about the result of this salary rush and were waiting outside Niujiaodu. Among them, the ones who were most concerned were Lao Yangtou and others. They were already old and there was no possibility of going to fight against the Tartars. Their stable income could only be the money and food specified every month. Therefore, whether Xu Xingxia's salary rush was successful or not, the greatest impact on them.

"Master Baihu, don't know our money and food..." Old Yang asked impatiently. Behind him, there were several old soldiers from Niujiaodu. They all looked at Xu Xingxia with anticipation, hoping to get a positive answer from Xu Xingxia.

"Mr. Qianhu said that it will be distributed as much as possible." Xu Xingxia said calmly.

"Is it true? That's great, it's great." Old Yang couldn't help but choke up. For the old soldiers, the money and food owed were not a small amount. If it was distributed in full, they would not have to worry about their family's food and clothing for a long time in the future.

"Of course it's true. Lord Qianhu has already agreed in person and should not make any fraud. If I haven't received the money and food within three days, I will continue to come forward until all the money and food are distributed." Xu Xingxia said sternly.

With Xu Xingxia's guarantee, Lao Yangtou and others were completely relieved. However, while they were happy, they were a little nervous. They all knew how difficult it was to get their own money and food from the top. Not only could they not be owed, but they also had to pay them in full. Even the thousand-household adults were under great pressure.

Some smart people can even speculate that Peng Feng was definitely not doing the deduction of money and grain by himself. When the money and grain reached Peng Feng's hands, maybe a lot of missing. Now Peng Feng is asked to vomit all the money and grain. Peng Feng doesn't know if he will be angry and takes some extreme actions. Xu Xingxia is only a hundred households, but Peng Feng is a thousand households. If the two people fight, who will win to death, it is still unknown!

The news that Niujiaodune had asked for money and food soon reached Weizhen Fort, causing a lot of sensation. Those military households who did not have the courage to follow Xu Xingxia to Pinglu City all seemed particularly regretful. If they had known that Peng Feng was so easy to talk to, they would have followed him. Now, it would be too late to regret. Many people secretly warned themselves that if they want to get benefits in the future, they should actively follow Xu Xingxia's actions.

The military family with children serving in Niujiaoduan further enhanced their loyalty to Xu Xingxia. They all knew very well that the superiors were able to pay off the money and grain in full this time because of Xu Xingxia's methods. If someone else had changed, it would be impossible to have such a perfect result. If it were not done well, even their own lives would have to be taken into account. If you want to live a good life, you must follow Xu Xingxia's pace and not be able to make a difference.

These days, many soldiers' families came outside Niujiaodun. They were secretly reminding their children to obey Xu Xingxia's words, actively support Xu Xingxia's actions, and never fall behind others. In a word, they must work hard to become Xu Xingxia's confidant in order to get more benefits.

"Everyone keep training."

Xu Xingxia did not care about Peng Feng's reaction or what the military households in Weizhen Fort thought. After returning to Niujiaodu, he immediately led his troops to continue training. The training subjects were mainly cavalry and shooting, and some basic melee skills. Xu Xingxia did not require his soldiers to fight against the Tartar cavalry for the time being, but at least he had to be able to fight against Peng Feng's armed servants. If Peng Feng really wanted to use force, he could easily knock down the opponent.

To put it bluntly, Ningxia Town is a chaotic place, whoever has a big fist is the boss. Since the rebellion launched by Xibai, Ningxia Town has been in chaos and undercurrents. There are many things that are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Even the court is also taboo to Ningxia Town. Fortunately, Ningxia Town is not large and is located in the northwest border, which cannot have a fatal impact on the whole country, so the people have not spent a lot of effort on politics.

There are some training grounds around Niujiaoduan. Xu Xingxia found a training ground in the north of Niujiaoduan. The west extends to the foot of Helan Mountain, and the east extends to the edge of the Yellow River, with a span of sixty or seventy miles east-west. In this training ground, the horses do not need to turn.

On both sides of the training ground, scarecrows were erected one by one. These scarecrows were the targets of riding and shooting. The cavalry of Niujiaoduan kept passing by and constantly shooting arrows at the scarecrows. Some scarecrows had several arrowheads inserted into them. Some arrowheads had fallen from the scarecrows due to their weight and lay around the scarecrows.

The equipment Xu Xingxia had paid for the money to build had been sent to Niujiao Dun. Now all the beds in Niujiao Dun are full. Not to count the soldiers who specialize in logistics, Xu Xingxia's subordinates have a total of 33 cavalrymen, including Yu Lijun, General Qi Zhang Quanfu, Xiaoqi Gao Meng and others. Except for a few people such as Gao Meng and Liu Chuang, the others are all good at riding and shooting, and are much more powerful than ordinary Ming soldiers.

Of course, at their current level, there is still a distance for them to fight the Tartar cavalry face to face. For this reason, Xu Xingxia asked them to focus on training their riding and shooting skills. Every day at dawn, they were called up by Xu Xingxia and started a day of cruel training. Apart from eating and sleeping, they were all in the training. Xu Xingxia himself supervised outside the training ground and did not give anyone the chance to be lazy.

According to the conventional rules, all the Tartars' war horses belong to those who have made meritorious service. Therefore, the number of war horses in Niujiaoduan is quite large, with hundreds of them. Xu Xingxia brought more than 60 war horses to Niujiaoduan, and the remaining war horses continued to be stored in Weizhen Fort. Each soldier in Niujiaoduan has two war horses, which can be trained in rotation. Rest horses and not rest people. This is Xu Xingxia's training method, and everyone must be exhausted. Of course, if you can't hold on, you can quit. Just roll the bed and leave!

At night, the wilderness was covered with darkness and I couldn't practice riding and shooting anymore. Xu Xingxia led everyone to practice strength and endurance. The main methods of training include stone lifting locks, pull-ups, push-ups, long-distance running, wrestling, etc. These are the most basic training methods, which are completely copied from later training systems. In general, the training results are still good, and basically squeezed out everyone's potential. When going to bed at night, most soldiers fell asleep as soon as they lay on the bed.

In the days when the Tartars came, the life of the Niujiaodun soldiers was absolutely boring. From the time they opened their eyes every day, they were training, training, and continuous training until their eyes closed. In this process, they were like robots, repeating monotonous movements and almost had no consciousness. Slowly, they all became numb. As long as Xu Xingxia had a gesture, they would jump up and hurriedly join the training.

In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was not born so poor. The most fundamental reason was the lack of training. How can soldiers without strict training form combat effectiveness? Of course, there are many reasons for lack of training, some subjective and objective. Xu Xingxia doesn't want to analyze them one by one. What he needs to do now is to capture the training again, arrest it hard, and let his small troops form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
