Ma Yunjiu took out the gun from his waist, loaded it with gunpowder, raised his hand to the sky and pulled the trigger.
boom!
Gunshots sounded.
In the distance, the cuirassiers on horseback raised their cavalry muskets and pointed them at the chaotic horse bandits in front of them.
The scene immediately became quiet.
Ma Yunjiu picked up the tin trumpet again and shouted: "You people are not yet the cavalry of my Tiger Flag. No matter what someone promised you before, it will not count here."
As his words fell, the faces of the horse bandit leaders standing at the front became extremely ugly.
One of the horse bandit leaders said loudly: "What do you mean by the tiger-character flag? You have deceived us all, and now you are saying that the things you promised are not counted. You really think I am easy to bully!"
"Yes, why does agreeing to my conditions not count? You Tiger Flag must do what you promised us before."
"That is, if the conditions promised before are not met, I will take them away now. If I don't serve you anymore, I will stay here and be controlled by you Tiger Flag people. How can I be as happy as when I was a horse bandit."
"It's you, Tiger Character Banner, who begged me to come. Since you don't keep your words, don't blame me for being rude."
Some of the horse bandit leaders were clamoring to leave, while others were clamoring to take action.
boom!
Another gun on Ma Yunjiu was fired.
Several horse bandit leaders who were talking were so frightened that they took several steps back. Some of them almost fell to the ground, thinking that Ma Yunjiu was going to hit them with a gun.
Ma Yunjiu glanced at these people contemptuously and said in an indifferent tone: "I am not discussing with you, but informing you."
Tu La on the other side came over, stood under Ma Yunjiu's horse, and whispered: "These people have at least sixty or seventy horse bandits under their control. Once they make trouble, it will be difficult to restrain them. It is better to let them continue to control themselves." Those horse bandits who came here.”
Ma Yunjiu glanced at Tu La, then picked up the tin trumpet and shouted: "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If anyone wants to leave, you can leave now and continue to be your horse bandit. I won't accept the tiger-character flag if I don't keep it." The one who controls.”
"Just leave, I really think I am willing to stay here." The leader of the horse bandits who spoke greeted the others, "Brothers, come with me, let's go back and have a big bowl of wine and eat meat, and we won't serve them anymore."
Ma Yunjiu used an iron trumpet to shout at his cuirassiers: "Leave a path for them to go!"
The cuirassiers in the distance gave way to a narrow passage that only one person could pass through.
"Let's go!" One of the bandit leaders waved and took the lead in walking through the narrow path left by the cuirassiers.
There was another horse bandit leader who left with him, and the rest who left with him were ordinary horse bandits, about thirty or forty of them.
The leader of the horse bandits who was walking in front looked back and found that the number of people was wrong. There were more than a hundred horse bandits under him alone, but now there were only more than thirty people.
Then he shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me. From now on, you can eat hot food and drink hot food, and you won't be angry with his mother's tiger-character flag."
Another horse bandit leader also shouted: "They are my brothers, please follow me."
After the two men finished shouting, no one in the crowd of horse bandits stood up and followed them. On the contrary, many people lowered their heads.
Obviously, these bowed horse bandits should be the former subordinates of the two horse bandit leaders.
"Bah! A bunch of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves!" One of the horse bandit leaders didn't wait for anyone to come. He spat heavily on the ground, turned around and left.
Another leader of the horse bandits who wanted to leave, but when he saw that his horse bandits were not leaving, he hesitated and then retreated.
As soon as he retreated, a dozen more horse bandits who originally wanted to leave followed him back into the crowd.
"You..." The leader of the horse bandits who was about to leave saw someone retreating into the crowd. He showed anger and pointed at the other person and said, "Okay, if you don't leave, I will leave. Sooner or later, you will regret it."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked out through the narrow path left by the cuirassiers.
There were about twenty horse bandits who left with him.
Ma Yunjiu glanced at the horse bandits who stayed behind, and said loudly: "If there is anyone who wants to leave, think clearly for yourself. If you stay and want to leave again, you will be a deserter. You should all know how to deal with running away."
After saying this, a dozen more horse bandits left the crowd and chased the horse bandits who had left before.
Ma Yunjiu waited for a while, and when he saw that no one was leaving, he said: "Since you choose to stay, you must accept the rules of our Tiger Flag. Someone has told you the previous military regulations. I believe many of you I didn’t take it seriously. From now on, I will recite the military regulations and regulations every day and have them deeply imprinted in my mind.”
As he spoke, he pointed at his head and continued: "If anyone dares to disobey military regulations and orders, he will be punished accordingly. I, the Tiger Character Flag, will never tolerate it."
After the words fell, the horse bandits in the crowd whispered to each other, and their voices suddenly became chaotic.
Many horse bandits don't know what the military regulations are, but they also know that there are many rules in the Tiger Flag. Some horse bandits ask people around them what the military regulations are, and some horse bandits discuss with people around them whether to leave.
Ma Yunjiu took out the fixed gunpowder, filled the gunpowder, raised the gunpowder, and fired a shot into the sky.
The crowd suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Ma Yunjiu.
Ma Yunjiu put away his blunderbuss, raised his tin trumpet, and shouted: "Let me ask you one last time, is there anyone else who wants to leave?"
Scatteredly, more than twenty horse bandits came out of the crowd and walked toward the narrow path left by the cuirassiers.
Ma Yunjiu waited for a while, and when he saw that no one was leaving, he took the tin trumpet and said: "It seems that you all chose to stay. I welcome you very much. That's it for today. Go back and prepare. We will start training tomorrow."
The horse bandits in the crowd did not expect that they would be allowed to go back so easily, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
As for tomorrow's training, no one is worried.
Everyone who can be a horse bandit has good riding skills, and there are many people who are skilled in horse arching, and among the horse bandits, there are also some Mongolians, who have learned arching and horse skills since childhood.
Ma Yunjiu shouted to the cuirassiers in the distance: "Close the team!"
The cavalry who originally surrounded the crowd heard Ma Yunjiu's order and began to withdraw their troops and let the horse bandits leave.
Ma Yunjiu turned over and dismounted, looked at Tu La in front of him, and said, "I hope Deputy Tu will give instructions to his former subordinates. I don't want anything unpleasant to happen tomorrow."
"Ma Yingzheng, can I ask how you plan to train these horse bandits tomorrow?" Tu La said.
Ma Yunjiu moved the corner of his mouth and said: "Tomorrow I will personally teach them the military regulations and disciplines of my Tiger Flag and help them remember the rules of my Tiger Flag."
Tu La, who was standing opposite, asked in confusion: "Don't you need to train in riding skills?"
Ma Yunjiu said indifferently: "Does Deputy Tuying think these horse bandits need me to teach them riding skills? If these people still need me to teach them riding skills, then there is no need for them to stay with my Tiger Flag. "
Tu La showed a hint of embarrassment.
He knew that he had asked the wrong question. As a horse bandit, riding skills were the basis of his livelihood. If he was not good at riding, he would not be able to become a horse bandit. At most, he could only go to the Ming Dynasty to become a bandit.
In a place like the grassland, bandits who can't ride a horse have no way of surviving.
