Chapter 37 Cavalry

"Erlang, brothers Zheng, what's wrong with you?" Lao Gao, who was waiting eagerly outside, saw the three of them walking out slowly, rubbing their bellies, and thought something had happened.

"It's nothing, Dad, we were all selected and had a meal." Erlang of the Gao family said, holding on to the wall.

"Is this? The food is not good? I'm hungry?" Lao Gao was a little anxious. He was already hungry on the first day, so how could he go?

"No, Uncle Gao, it's because the food is so good. We can hold on until we eat enough. Just take it slow and we'll be fine." The elder man of the Zheng family rubbed his belly and replied.

"You three poor guys, you can't eat like this without money, are you risking your life?" The old man stomped his feet angrily, even though I was hungry outside and couldn't bear to eat the rice balls, the three of you were inside eating desperately.

"We are not thinking that if we can eat as much as we can, we will save the meal tonight." Erlang Gaojia chuckled.

Lao Gao glanced at the three of them bitterly, but he had no idea. He grabbed the rice balls and ate them while taking the three of them home. This family didn't have a good time for two days.

At noon on the third day, all the 300 soldiers recruited by Liyang County arrived. Each of them handed the Anjia money they received to their families, and then set off with the guards of the Duke's Mansion. They had to first go to Donglinzhuang to gather for training. This scene was in Jiangning

The government and surrounding counties were staged one by one, and all the recruited soldiers headed towards Donglinzhuang.

"Sir, how are the preparations?" Sun Yu has received news from Zhang Daqiu and Cheng Zhenbei. Teams will arrive one after another in the next two days, and the camp must be prepared.

"Everything else is ready, but the clothes and shoes will have to wait for a few more days. Every village is rushing to make them." Each person needs to prepare two sets of clothes and three pairs of shoes. Although Sun Yu directly gave him the size and cut them,

But this has to be done stitch by stitch, so there is no rush.

"Well, I'll make some in three sizes. When everyone is here, count them up to make sure everyone's clothes and shoes fit as well as possible." You have to train or travel every day. If it doesn't fit, it won't work.

"Sir, the Su family is already purchasing supplies. They say they need to pay half of the deposit first. How about it?" Xu Yi has been very busy these days with so many things on his mind. He no longer looks as confident as before. Although he is full of talents, he is so busy.

It is really not easy to sort out all the countless threads.

"Okay, I'm not afraid that she won't deliver the goods." This advance payment of a deposit is considered a routine, and Sun Yu is not afraid that the Su family will default on the bill.

"Excluding the Su family's payment, we still have just over 160,000 taels left in our account." Xu Yi picked up the account book and wrote it down, doing some calculations.

"Spending money is like running water." The King of Han borrowed 100,000 taels, the Ministry of War gave him 50,000 taels, and his own government contributed 100,000 taels, totaling 250,000 taels. This army has not yet been formed.

After spending 90,000 taels, Uncle Quan invited all the blacksmiths he could find around Jiangning Mansion and worked day and night to repair it.

Sun Yu took Sun Sandao and a group of young men to ride back home. These young men were quite savvy and could already ride with style.

"Sir, you are finally back. The Grand Tutor is here to visit and is waiting in the hall." Uncle Quan looked at the door of the mansion and saw Sun Yu coming back, so he immediately came to report.

"Master? Let's go." Sun Yu was a little confused. What was he doing here looking for him?

"Oh, my dear nephew, you are finally back." Grand Tutor Zhou Zong saw Sun Yu coming in and stood up with a smile and said.

"Uncle, why do you have time to come here today? My nephew has a lot of chores these days, so I kept my uncle waiting for a long time." Sun Yu complained.

He shouted and sat down in the main seat.

"A good friend of mine recently got a batch of good horses from the north. I thought you would definitely want them, so I asked him to wait for my news. I came here to ask my nephew what he meant." These are rare goods, and they are rare in the south.

The Tang Dynasty strictly controlled the horse trade, and horses were usually eaten directly by the military along the river. Sun Yu went through a lot of effort to get horses for a group of young people.

"How many are there? What's the price?" Sun Yu was overjoyed. This war horse represents the cavalry. The cavalry in this era is like the tanks of later generations, invincible in field battles.

"There are seventy horses in total. The price is at least two hundred and thirty taels per horse." The price is not low, but it is reasonable, Taifu Zhou Zong said, twirling his beard lightly.

"I want them all and send them directly to Donglinzhuang." Sun Yu gritted his teeth and said, these more than 16,000 taels are not unbearable. Sun Yu gritted his teeth because this horse is extremely expensive and the daily cost is more than

It takes three or five soldiers.

"My dear nephew, don't you go and take a look?" Zhou Zong was stunned, this guy is so courageous, no wonder he is here today.

"Uncle can be trusted, so of course I can be trusted." Sun Yu waved his hand, and if he could ask Zhou Zong to come forward to find him, he must be trustworthy.

"Okay, dear nephew, I still have three horses in my house that I don't need anymore, so I'll give them to you later." I'm too old to ride horses, so there's no use keeping them.

"Then thank you uncle." Sun Yu did not refuse Zhou Zong's kindness.

"My dear nephew, this trip to the south is quite difficult. If something goes wrong, you should protect yourself. My uncle over at the court can take care of you." Zhou Zong, who was about to leave at the door of the Duke's Mansion, said, if it weren't for some unexpected circumstances,

Wrong, this is my son-in-law, but God is not kind to me, I am so ashamed of my old friend!

"Uncle, don't worry. My nephew will be spared. After all, they are just gangsters with no reputation. My nephew is somewhat confident." Sun Yu nodded and said, if he can't take Jianzhou by himself, then he should return to Jiangning and sell it as soon as possible.

Industry, go to South Vietnam and become a rich man. After all, there will be no war there for many years.

"I'm afraid that King Jinjiang's time is running out, and his son is still young, so something may happen. If my nephew has any plans, he should do it as soon as possible!" That day in the palace, Zhou Zong heard Sun Yu's plan.

"Uncle, are you serious about this?" Sun Yu frowned. This was a good opportunity, but he didn't know if he could catch it.

"It's absolutely true, I'm leaving first." After Zhou Zong finished speaking, he got on the carriage.

"Farewell, uncle!" Sun Yu bowed his head to the end, and these words alone were worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Sun Yu became more and more busy. Every day when the city gate opened, he would go to Donglinzhuang and didn't return home until the city gate closed. If he hadn't thought about spending more time with Qing'er, Sun Yu would have planned to live there directly.

"Sir, everyone is here." Zhang Daqiu watched the last group of people enter the camp. After counting, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Chen Zhenbei was closer, and everyone had arrived yesterday.

"Well, Lao Cheng, let's discuss how to arrange it."

Sun Yu planned to do this. Each of the eighteen young men would lead ten men to form a cavalry battalion. Lao Cheng would lead six hundred soldiers to form a guard battalion. Only with a fierce general like Lao Cheng leading them would they be of maximum value. Zhang Daqiu would lead a cavalry battalion.

The guards gathered together to set up a law enforcement battalion. Zhang Daqiu is a principled person and can't be better at law enforcement. The rest are divided into spear battalion, sword and shield battalion, bow and arrow battalion, and strong crossbow battalion. Each battalion has a full strength of 300 people, and there are currently some gaps.

, wait until Jianzhou to complete it.

"Cavalry battalion, this, we have that

How many horses?" Lao Cheng calculated that it would be nearly two hundred horses, and the Imperial Army did not have such extravagant equipment.

"Currently there are more than 150 horses, and there are still some gaps. We will think of ways to do it on the way." Sun Yu has sold out all the good horses available in the world. In a short time, there will be no good horses in Jiangning. Pulling carts

There are quite a lot of horses, but they can only be used to pull some logistical baggage.

"What is the level of this law enforcement camp? How much is the monthly salary?" Zhang Daqiu thought this job was good, so he led a brother he trusted.

"What's the matter? Da Qiu, have I, Sun Yu, ever treated you wrong?" This Da Qiu's brain circuit is really different. He actually pays attention to his salary first, but it's okay. If he doesn't fight for power and gain, it will be easier to lead the team.

"That's not true, hey, sir! I'm going out to fight for my life, and I also want to give an explanation to the old lady at home." Ever since he turned over, the old lady has been very obedient to him. Now that he has to go on a far journey, he is still a little reluctant to leave.

"Just like Lao Cheng, you can tentatively set a monthly salary of fifteen taels. Well, that's the title. Just take command. The weapons and armor will be attached to the Guards Battalion first, and the Cavalry Battalion will pick people first. Then, Lao Cheng, you will pick them all.

That’s it, then gather together.”

"Dong~dong~dong~" Sun Yu personally beat the war drum on the school ground, and the entire school ground fell silent instantly. Although there were only a few people standing, no one sat on the ground at last.

"My name is Sun Yu. You are all my carefully selected brothers. We will fight together in the future. As the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head. I will give you a chance. Next, you will draw lots. After you draw the lot

"According to the numbers above, follow the arrangements of the law enforcement team and stand together." Sun Yu waved his hand, and everyone in the law enforcement team took the lottery tubes and asked the recruits to draw lots one by one. Except for the soldiers of the cavalry battalion who were picked, everyone else got one.

Sign, and then form groups of ten according to their respective numbers.

"Next, in the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the last person standing in each team is the captain, and the monthly salary will be increased by 30%, and the incense will be lit!" As soon as Sun Yu finished speaking, Sun Sandao took out the fold, lit the incense and inserted it into the incense burner.

Everyone who was originally indifferent suddenly had bloodshot eyes after hearing this. Add 30% of the salary, which is an extra 4 cents and 5 cents a month. Damn it! The whole school grounds instantly became dusty, and there were sounds of punches and kicks everywhere. If not

The law enforcement team looked around to maintain order, and there might be a loss of life.

"Young Master is doing this again." Du Rushi, who was riding on the horse, pouted. He was beaten badly that day. The key point is that he still doesn't know who beat him that day.

"Simple and effective, why not use it?" Han Zaiwu looked at Du Rushi. Is it because he hasn't beaten him recently and he is unhappy with being the captain?

"Head full of muscles." Du Rushi looked at Han Zaiwu's thick muscles, curled his lips, and said no more. It would be a huge shame if he messed him up again in front of the new recruits.

"Are we just going to watch the fun? Why don't we train those boys first?" Gao Huichang was not interested in the scene in front of him. He wanted to teach Sun Yu how to train them, and walk these boys one by one to enjoy Sun Yu.

fun of.

"You guys are watching, let's go train them." Han Zaiwu turned his horse and walked towards the recruits he had picked. They were smart, they all picked young ones, and with their strength, they could easily handle them.
