Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 233

There is a large competition field outside the city of Ningwuguan, which has always been the place where the officers and soldiers of the town inspect and parade.As the head of the town, the big battle field, the officers and soldiers of the whole town often practice here. The venue is naturally very large, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of officers and soldiers to line up at the same time.

At this time, the arena was already filled with flags and flags, densely packed with officers and soldiers, forming square formations one after another.Among these people, there are the Fourth Battalion garrisoned in the city, the guards at Ningwuguan, the Huodun guards from various places, and the two thousand family members brought by Huang Laifu, all of whom are standing here. .It is said that there are more than [-] people, and there are no boundaries. If you look around, there is a black mass of heads on the field.

In addition to these officers and soldiers, people from Ningwu Pass were crowded with people from all over the place to watch the excitement. There were townspeople in the city and people from all sides. It was looking at the middle of the field with excited and curious eyes.It's rare, opportunities like this don't come along every day.

On the high platform of the Martial Arts Hall in the arena, there were officials of all sizes from Ningwuguan, including Huang Laifu, Eunuch Ma, Governor Yang, Liu Bingbei, etc., as well as generals from all over the world who came to visit Huang Laifu from Waibao.In addition, on both sides of the high platform in the Martial Arts Hall, there are densely packed guards and flag bearers, and the yellow flags are flying high.

Standing on the high platform, Huang Laifu looked around with his sword, showing no emotion. Father-in-law Ma Jiuying was also wearing a suit of armor, standing beside him triumphantly.Only Governor Yang, Liu Bingbei and other Ningwuguan civil servants next to him looked very bad, and the foreign military generals next to them also looked unnatural, frequently looking to the right of the field.

The relaxation of military equipment is like a child's play, which is vividly reflected in the officers and soldiers of Zhenchengyuan.

There used to be four battalions of soldiers in the town, one battalion of pacesetters from the former Chief Ming Liu Ming'an, one battalion of pacesetters from governor Yang Fanglue, and two battalions of skirmishers. How many.The armor of the skirmishers of the two battalions was not neat, they were old and weak inside, and the weapons in their hands were mostly rusty.

Even though the pacesetters of the two battalions were young and strong, and their armor was quite neat, but in such a serious occasion, their discipline was lax and their ranks were sparse.In order to make Huang Laifu, the current chief soldier, look after him, the former general Ming Liu Ming'an's pacesetters tried their best to puff out their chests and belly under the restraint of general Liu Quanli, showing a mighty look.But in Governor Yang Fanglue's first battalion of pacesetters, everyone was dancing and laughing, without any appearance of a soldier.

As for the guards next to them, it was even worse.Originally, these military guards had become professional field soldiers, and it was rare to practice once in decades, and because of insufficient food and wages, a large number of young and strong fled.Therefore, behind Sun Zhiqu, the commander of Ningwuguan, there were originally 2000 guards and soldiers, but now there are less than [-], but all of them are in tattered uniforms, and most of them are old, weak and disabled soldiers.

On the other hand, the two thousand servants brought by Huang Laifu can be called the real elite pacesetters!Everyone is surprisingly young, tall and strong, with refined iron armor on their bodies, and sharp weapons in their hands. Their expressions are mighty and powerful, full of evil spirits after a bloody battle.In particular, they have strict discipline. After lining up, everyone stands still, like a forest.

The formation they arranged was in a straight line from every angle, and the people around them were all shocked when they saw it.Only then did they understand what is prohibited and what is the appearance of a soldier.

Not to mention the guards next to them, and some battalion soldiers, all of them looked at these soldiers from Wuzhai Fort with envious and fearful expressions, even Governor Yang and others on the high platform looked at them with mixed feelings in their hearts Very uncomfortable.

After the army brought by Huang Laifu arrived at Ningwuguan, they stayed in the barracks and did not come out. Governor Yang did not see it that day. capital.Unexpectedly, compared with the servants brought by Huang Laifu, there is a huge difference.This made him feel very lost.

It was the generals of the outer fort on the stage. Originally, they thought that the standard battalion soldiers in the town were indeed elite compared to the sergeants in their fort, and they were worthy of being called the army of the town.It was only after seeing Huang Laifu's army that he deeply understood the meaning of the elite.I also understood the reason for Huang Laifu's meteoric rise.

And the onlookers outside the arena also saw this. They were in the town and didn't know the surrounding situation, and they were always proud of the town's pacesetters. Only now did they feel that they had made a big mistake before. The sons and daughters of Huang Junmen are the real military masters.Everyone was talking and sighing.

Huang Laifu smiled slightly and waved his hands. The yellow flag, red flag, black flag, green flag, and white flag on the high platform were raised at the same time, and the field slowly fell silent.Huang Laifu waved his hand again, and the flag bearer on the high platform waved the flag, and the Wuzhaibao army immediately changed its formation, no matter whether the flag was raised on the stage or the golden drum was blown, there was no confusion at all.

The battalions under the stage were in a hurry, walking back and forth, some heading east, some heading west, and after a while the barely formed formation was a mess.As for the guards, they just stood there blankly, having not practiced for many years, they could no longer understand the banners on the stage.

The people around laughed loudly, everyone pointed, Huang Laifu shook his head slightly, Governor Yang on the stage looked ugly, and Liu Bingbei was also pale, only then did he realize that his own army was rotten, and Huang Laifu's army was really good. .However, this was the case on the stage, but the pacesetter battalion of Governor Yang under the stage did not take it seriously, and their expressions remained the same.They also think that the laughter of the common people is a compliment to themselves, and they are all triumphant.

Only the general Liu Quanli and a group of former commander-in-chief soldiers in the audience are sweating profusely. With his embarrassing appearance, Huang Junmen should not be disappointed in himself.They really wanted to take refuge in their new owner, Huang Laifu.

Soon, the yellow flag, red flag, black flag, green flag, and white flag on the high platform were all raised at the same time, and immediately the Wuzhaibao army returned to its original standing formation.And it wasn't until a long time ago that the battalion soldiers and guards beside them calmed down.After exercising for a long time just now, their formation became even more chaotic.

At this time, a healthy horse galloped down the stage, and an armored officer with red tassels and phoenix wings rolled off the saddle, knelt on the ground on one knee, and reported loudly to the stage: "Military Gate, Governor, the soldiers have finished their formation, please Read it!"

This person is none other than Yang Xiaolu, the general of the Wuzhai Fort family!

Huang Laifu smiled at Governor Yang, and Ma Jiuying said fairly: "My lords, please!"

A cannon rang, and the surrounding area fell silent.

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and everyone who came down from the high platform got on their horses and inspected the more than ten thousand soldiers in the field!
Huang Laifu was dressed in refined iron armor, an iron pointed helmet with an eight-petal hat, and a red cape, riding a tall horse.Beside him were Eunuch Ma Jiuying and Governor Yang.Behind the three are Liu Bingbei and a group of generals, and behind them are some civil servants following Ningwu Pass.

The horses marched together, compared with the densely packed formations of officers and soldiers one after another on the field, each of them walked slowly in front of each formation.

Governor Yang and the others didn't pay much attention to the local battalion soldiers and guards at Ningwuguan. They all looked at the Wuzhaibao army formation.The more you go there, the more murderous the air is, especially when you get close, the tiger-like eyes of the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort made them dare not look at them!
This kind of pressure made Governor Yang and Liu Bingbei pale, and many local civil servants wiped sweat from their foreheads from time to time.

It's just that when the Wuzhaibao soldiers looked at Huang Laifu with such vicious eyes, they turned into respectful and worshipful expressions.Looking at the army that he had created by himself, Huang Laifu was filled with a sense of inferiority. He suddenly pulled out the sharp sword at his waist and shouted: "Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The Wuzhaibao sergeants drew out their weapons at the same time and shouted loudly, the sound shook the whole field!

Their voices drove the surrounding battalions and guards, and the surrounding people also cheered involuntarily.The sound of "Wan Sheng" became louder and louder, wave after wave, resounding throughout Ningwu City.

This overwhelming sound was so shocking, not to mention the trembling legs of the civil servants, even Governor Yang and Liu Bingbei, their faces turned even paler!
※※※

After Huang Laifu read it, not to mention the people in Ningwuguan who talked about it for many days, even the governor Yang, Liu Bingbei and other civil servants also stopped a lot. Everyone's eyebrows and eyes showed a lot of awe and politeness towards Huang Laifu.

In the next few days, there were many more people visiting the General Soldier's Mansion. Apart from some local civil servants and military generals, there were also many merchants, and all kinds of gifts were sent to the General Soldier's Mansion.Huang Laifu accepted them one by one with peace of mind, which was actually a normal way of making money in Ming Dynasty.

The official salary of the Ming Dynasty has always been meager. Even the ministers with the official title of the second rank in various ministries, their annual salary is only a mere 152 taels.They want to maintain a luxurious life, which cannot be maintained by a mere salary.

Therefore, the main income of the general officials of the Ming Dynasty relied on the filial gifts of various merchants and officials. Every year, the gift money or gifts received by the governors and governors of various provinces were between ten or even a hundred times their annual salaries.This kind of gray income was reasonable and legal at the time, and Huang Laifu didn't want to show his nobility. If he wanted to change this era, he had to integrate into this era first. Therefore, he took great pleasure in receiving money and things from everyone.

The generals from all over the country have already returned with a sense of awe and satisfaction. Huang Laifu also has his own understanding of the local situation, and it is time to get down to business.

So now Huang Laifu, after rewarding some silver, all the Ningwu Guanyuan general soldier pacesetters who had withdrawn from the general mansion, selected [-] family members from the Laifu battalion he brought as the guards of the general mansion.Long before he came to Ningwuguan, he had already named the Dingqin barracks beside him as Laifu Camp, the handsome lion.The army staying at Wuzhai Fort was named Wuzhai Camp, and the camp flag was fierce tiger.The soldiers of the old camp are still called Zhenluying.

Regarding Huang Laifu's decision, none of these former pacesetters dared to say anything. They naturally knew that they could not compare with Laifu Ying, whether it was in terms of intimacy or toughness, they were not on the same level.They only hoped that Huang Laifu could accept them, and make themselves one of Huang Laifu's direct descendants, with the treatment of the original pacesetter.

Huang Laifu naturally understood what Liu Quanli and others were thinking, so on the third day after the exercise, Huang Laifu ordered Yang Xiaolu to bring Liu Quanli here, and he had something to say to him.
