The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 182
It is the spring when the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the pasture on the grassland grows taller again. Near Kaiping Town, there are now more than [-] nomadic people living here. They are a new ethnic group separated from the Tatars—the Manchus. , they were divided into eight tribes, nomadic between Kaiping Town and Xuanhua Town.

Because the Tatars did not graze here, the water and grass here are very rich, and because the Manchus are Jia Ke's slaves, so they graze here, not only are they not discriminated against by officers and soldiers, but they are also protected to a certain extent.

Now the life of the Manchus is much better than that of the Tatars. At least they can eat enough and wear warmth. Among them, those who are willing to work even have some savings. The only problem is the lack of women.

Jia Ke did not let them go. On this day, under the leadership of Liu Yu, Jia Ke went to inspect the Manchu Zhenghuangqi pasture. This was the first time Jia Ke came among the Manchus.

As soon as Jia Ke entered the tribe, all the people who knew Jia Ke's identity knelt down on both sides of the road, looking at Jia Ke with fanaticism. After Jia Ke's systematic brainwashing, coupled with Jia Ke's own mighty record, these people have Think of Jia Ke as a god walking in the world.

Kneeling at the front is Zhenghuang Banner Dutong Jirigala, who has now fully evolved into Jia Ke's dog leg.

The purpose of Jia Ke's visit this time is mainly to understand the current living conditions and combat capabilities of the Manchus.Although it is spring now, it will be five or six months before the Tatars go south. Now Jia Ke can't wait to concentrate all his strength to fight against the Tatars.

Jia Ke entered the big tent in the center of the Zhenghuang Banner and sat directly on the main seat in the center.People are accompanying on both sides.

Jia Ke first asked, "Jirigela, do you have enough livestock in Zhenghuangqi? Do you have any extra horses?"

Jirigla came out again immediately, knelt down and said: "Master, we have a lot of livestock in Zhenghuangqi, and our living standard is much better than before. The number of our Zhenghuangqi horses is two more than before, and they are all newborns. It will come in handy in a year or two." Their livestock and horses are all sourced from the military supplies that Jia Ke plundered from the Tatars in the last war, so no matter whether it is horses or livestock, is very ample.

Jia Ke asked again: "What's the problem? Tell me if you can't solve it yourself."

"Master, if you want to talk about difficulties, there are indeed. Our tribe is full of big men, and it is really difficult to manage now. Everyone wants to marry a wife."

Jia Ke knew about this, and Liu Yu also reported it to him.But Jia Ke really has no way to solve it now.The only way is to wait until autumn, he will go north to plunder the population.

Jia Ke is not going to tell Jiri Gela now without telling him: "You let everyone bear it for a few months, and wait until autumn. Let's move northward, and there will be enough women by then, and each person will give you a few daughters-in-law. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it when the time comes." After speaking, he laughed along with him, as the master, he not only takes care of food and drink, but now he also takes care of his wife.

Jirigla said embarrassedly: "Master, I really caused you trouble."

After talking about these light topics, Jia Ke turned the subject and asked, "Is our place far from your original tribe?"

When Jirigla heard Jia Ke asking this question, he immediately realized something, and immediately replied excitedly: "Master, it's not far. Every year we go south for the winter, and this place is only one or two hundred miles away from the original tribal gathering place." The distance. Master, I will show you the way when the time comes."

Jia Ke said with satisfaction: "Very good, Jirigla, you are a good slave. I won't let you make this trip in vain until you reach your original tribe. You can choose the woman of the tribe leader at that time."

Jirigla was even more effervescent after hearing this.Their leader's daughter, Na Ren, is as beautiful as a fairy, a hundred times more beautiful than his original wife.If he could go back this time, he would definitely kill the enemy desperately so that the master could bestow Na Ren on him.

Jia Ke asked again: "Here in Xuanhua, how many tribes are there in the north of the two towns of Kaiping?"

Jirigla said respectfully: "Master, in the north of our two towns, there are at least five or six large tribes and a dozen small tribes. These people are all going south for the winter, and they rob winter supplies along the way."

"Can you know exactly where they are located?"

"Master, there is no problem at all. We are going to the yellow flag, and there are many people from these tribes. We can lead the way when the time comes."

Only then was Jia Ke satisfied, and asked casually, "Won't they be angry when we used to plunder their original tribe?"

Jirigla said indifferently: "Master, what's the matter? Isn't that how we came here on the grassland? And now we are not of the same race as them. It is a good time to strengthen ourselves by plundering foreign races."

It was only then that Jia Ke was completely relieved. In fact, he was not very relieved of these former Tatars and the current Manchus.So he planted many spies in it, and he could know in advance if there was any disturbance in the Eight Banners.

Next, Jia Ke walked through all the Manchu Eight Banners, letting them know their masters.And Jia Ke's brainwashing effect is still very powerful, and now he has forgotten that he is a Tatar, and he is all proud of being a Manchu.

Jia Ke also watched these people's riding and archery drills, and they really deserved to be a nation on horseback. Their talent on horseback is not comparable to that of the Han people born in the Central Plains.If it weren't for their poor equipment, the original army in Kaiping Town would have to pay a heavy price even if they could defeat them.

And this time, Jia Ke equipped them with horse bows from the Central Plains, sharp sabers, and fairly sturdy armor.

If they encounter the Tatars again, they can completely defeat their opponents with two or three times their numbers at very little cost.

Now Jia Ke, if these Eight Banners soldiers are dispatched, more than [-] people can be mobilized.This is a very remarkable number at the border, and it is a number that can determine the victory or defeat of a war.

Jia Ke felt that as long as these people were in hand, plus Xuanhua, the two towns of Kaiping would have the strength.In Nine Sides, he can be regarded as a powerful figure.

After Jia Ke inspected the Eight Banners tribe, he inspected the 3 troops under Kaiping Township. These troops were built entirely with his own soldiers as the backbone.

These people had 3 cavalrymen, [-] crossbowmen, [-] Macedonian square soldiers, and a total of [-] soldiers.

These people were originally elite soldiers from Xuanfu Town, otherwise they would not have survived in the harsh environment after being dispersed by the Tatars.In the end, they were recruited by Jia Ke. They were said to be recruits because they had not received systematic training from Jia Ke, and they were called elites because each of them had seen blood.Now after systematic training, as long as they are pulled onto the battlefield, they will be able to fight decisively with the enemy.

After Jia Ke visited the 3 regular army in Kaiping Town, he held a large-scale exercise in the formation of [-] people on the grassland outside Kaiping.The purpose of this is to allow them to experience their respective positions in the war.under what circumstances?How should it change?In case of an emergency, how should we deal with it?The effect of this drill is still good, although there are some minor problems.But there is no mistake in the general direction.

Before the arrival of summer, Jia Ke basically patrolled back and forth between the Manchu Eight Banners and the regular army in Kaiping Town, carefully evaluating the combat power of both sides.In the end, it was concluded that the well-equipped Manchu Eight Banners and the regular army in Kaiping Town, if there is a war.In the case of the same number of people on both sides, I am afraid that both sides will suffer.

Now these two troops are the two treasured swords in Jia Ke's hands.
