"Boy, do you want to go to Datong with me?"
Most of the Han people like Yang Jiachen who grew up in Mongolia are very good at riding. The Yang family is a Mongolian-Han businessman with some extra money, so they have learned some riding and archery skills since they were young.
"What are you going to do in Datong?" Yang Jiachen frowned.
Tan Zaiwang smiled and said, "Follow me as a cavalryman, and I'll teach you how to bow and horse."
After hearing this, Yang Jiachen curled his lips and said, "No need, I'm good at bow and horse."
He didn't think there were any other powerful riders in the Ming Dynasty except Ye Bushou from the Ming Dynasty. The person who taught him how to bow and horse was a Mongolian armored rider, and his skills were not as good as those from the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, he didn't have the slightest fondness for Tiger Flag.
"Captain, you want to take on a disciple, but it's a pity that people don't like you, haha."
There were two riders of the Tiger Flag in the yard. Seeing Tan Zaiwang deflated, one of the riders showed a playful expression.
Of course, he and Tan Zaiwang did not have any conflicts, and they even had a good relationship. They could trust each other's back on the battlefield, but they just saw Tan Zaiwang being defeated by a young boy, and they were happy to stand aside and watch the fun.
"Go, go, go, are you kidding me?" Tan Zaiwang pretended to be angry, "Be careful, I will give you extra practice when you get back."
The two tiger flag riders who were still watching the excitement suddenly turned bitter when they heard the word "extra training".
One of the riders said flatteringly, "Captain, this matter has nothing to do with us. You can't avenge yourself."
"What kind of public revenge is private? Am I that kind of person?" Tan Zaiwang rolled his eyes and added, "I am here to help you better master your skills and give you more chances to survive in the hands of the enemy."
"Captain, you said this was not revenge." The rider had a sad expression on his face.
The training of their cavalry team has always been much harder than the training of the infantry team. Once the training is added, it will not be finished without a few more bruises on the body.
Of course, this is also related to the poor riding skills of many of them, but riding training cannot be mastered in a few days.
The other of the two riders looked at Yang Jiachen and advised, "Boy, our captain is very capable. If you stay with him for a few years and learn the eight skills, not many of those Mongolian armored riders on the grassland will be able to do anything." Will be more powerful than you."
Yang Jiachen in the yard sneered at this.
In his mind, the most powerful cavalry are on the grasslands.
"Everyone, please have some tea." Mrs. Yang came over, holding a wooden tray with three cups of steaming tea on it.
"Thank you, Mrs. Yang, for your kindness." Tan Zaiwang cupped his hand and said immediately, "None of us are thirsty, so we won't drink."
No matter whether they are thirsty or not, they will not touch these three cups of tea.
The reason for staying in the yard was to protect Li Shuheng's safety. If the tea was drugged and he was intoxicated, not to mention protecting others, he would not even be able to control his own safety. They would never allow such a mistake to happen.
Although Mrs. Yang in front of them may not have drugged the tea, this kind of caution has been engraved in their bones. Even when eating, they will not eat together, but separate batches, and make sure that after one party is fine after eating, the rest Only people will eat it.
"They don't drink, I drink, it just so happens that I'm thirsty." Yang Jiachen raised his hand to pick up a cup of tea from the wooden tray and drank it by himself.
"Mom, I'll drink too." Yang Jiayao ran over from the Trojan horse.
He was short, standing next to his mother's legs, and could only look up at the wooden plate.
"Okay, okay, okay, let's drink it too." Mrs. Yang picked up a cup of tea, bent down and handed it to her youngest son. At the same time, she did not forget to warn, "Be careful, don't drop it."
Yang Jiayao took the tea cup and ran towards his wooden horse.
"Mom, give me this cup too." Yang Jiachen finished the cup of tea in his hand and reached for the only cup left on the wooden plate.
Mrs. Yang took the empty teacup in her eldest son's hand and held the wooden plate under her other arm. She looked at Tan Zaiwang and said, "My Chen'er is still young and grew up in Bansheng, so it is difficult to adapt to Datong." The life there, and my master plans to take Chen'er to do business when he gets older, which can be regarded as inheriting his father's business."
"I see." Tan Zaiwang said apologetically, "I was the one who was abrupt. Please don't blame Mrs. Yang."
Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "It's not surprising if you don't know. You are willing to take my Chen'er to Datong because you are optimistic about him. You think Chen'er is excellent. I should thank you for being so optimistic about Chen'er."
"Mrs. Yang is too polite." Tan Zaiwang said, "From what I heard from Mrs. Yang, you don't sound like someone from an ordinary family, but more like someone from a scholarly family."
Mrs. Yang smiled and explained, "My father was a scholar in the 26th year of Wanli. I am lucky enough to know some words."
"No wonder," Tan Zaiwang nodded, and then said, "Since your father is famous, why did Mrs. Yang and Dongzhu Yang come to the grassland? If they were in the Ming Dynasty, they should be able to survive even if they lived a more miserable life. right."
The Ming Dynasty valued literature over martial arts. Those whose families had a good reputation would not have a bad life. At least the family would have enough food. If a family member was born, the fields and tenants donated from various places would soon be settled. A new gentry's house will appear.
The north is not as good as the south. In several border towns and counties of the Ming Dynasty, many county magistrates are just from juren background. It can be said that if you pass the juren examination, you will be qualified to be an official. Even the local county magistrates must treat juren politely.
Mrs. Yang looked bitter, shook her head slightly, and said, "My father passed away early, and later the government used the family shop as an official shopping shop. I had no choice but to come to Bansheng to make a living. Fortunately, although life here is a little harder, the family People can barely survive."
Official buying shops are where officials openly and honestly collect money from some businessmen with no backing. As long as the merchants are designated as official buying shops by the government, they will soon be beaten to the bone by the officials, and eventually end up with their families destroyed.
Obviously, Dongzhu Yang and Mrs. Yang's family became an official buying shop appointed by the government. In order to survive, they escaped from the pass and the family came to the grassland to make a living.
"Mrs. Yang." Tan Zaiwang said, "Tiger Flag is also a relatively famous business name in Datong, and Lingqiu Jintie is from our company. As long as your son stays in Tiger Flag for a few years, he will definitely be able to work in Tiger Flag in the future. Stand alone."
He once again asked Yang Jiachen to go to Datong with him.
Yang Jiachen, who had been listening to the two people talking, interrupted and said, "I don't go to Datong, so I really think it's rare for anyone to come and work in your Tiger Flag."
He didn't have the slightest fondness for the Tiger Flag. His father was forced to risk going to Baicheng to do business because of the Tiger Flag, so he didn't want to go to Datong, let alone work for the Tiger Flag.
Mrs. Yang spoke at the right time and said, "Chen'er himself doesn't want to go, so let's forget about it. When he is older in two years, my master will take him with him to go on business trips."
"That's such a pity." Tan Zaiwang sighed regretfully.
He really wanted to take people to Datong and join their cavalry. He even wanted to bring back Han Chinese who grew up in Mongolia to join their cavalry.
Nowadays, their Tiger Banner cavalry team is not short of soldiers and armor, but what they are short of is riders who are skilled in equestrian skills.
