Han Xi came up and looked at the armor on these people carefully, then looked at the shabby clothes on his own body, and said immediately: "Take off your armor."
"Yes!" the imperial soldiers responded.
Han Xi noticed from the corner of his eye that the initial soldiers seemed a bit dull. If they were placed in the village, outsiders would think they were dull and honest people.
The most senior soldier has a very smart look on his face, and you can tell at a glance that he is a shrewd man.
Soon, Han Xi endured the cold night wind and put on a set of spearman's cloth armor weighing more than 20 kilograms, and also put a helmet on his head.
Not to mention, with such an outfit, you can pretend to be a guerrilla general among the officers and soldiers.
Han Xi wore more than 20 kilograms of cloth armor and moved around for a while, but for a moment he broke out in hot sweat and his body felt a little tired.
If you wear this kind of clothes to fight, you don't have a certain physique and physical strength, and you may not be able to sustain it until the end of the entire battle.
Han Xi took off the heavy cloth armor, and then replaced it with the initial spearman's cloth armor. The cloth-faced armor of the initial Imperial soldiers was much lighter, weighing only about ten pounds.
There is only a set of pure cotton clothes and a round hat. There are no gauntlets or round helmets, and there are no iron pieces in the cotton clothes.
"Yeah! Very good! This suit belongs to me." Han Xi patted the clothes on his body with satisfaction.
"Yes!" The spearman put Han Xi's fallen coat on his body.
Then, Han Xi looked at the sixty horses. These horses were of different breeds, some were tall and some were short.
Han Xi tried to ride one of the horses. The horse was very docile. He touched the horse with satisfaction.
With these sixty cavalry, there is no need to be afraid even if you encounter hundreds of officers and soldiers.
"Go back!" Han Xi waved his hand and led hundreds of people towards the cave.
In just a moment, Han Xi led a hundred people back to the cave. In the cave, a group of more than 20 villagers saw hundreds of people wearing armor suddenly appear. They immediately picked up the long curled sword in their hands and ran out. .
When Xu San saw Han Xi who had changed his clothes, he asked nervously: "Leopard King, who are these people?"
Seeing the nervous expressions of all the township party members, Han Xi smiled and waved his hands: "Don't be nervous, they are all our own people. These are brothers who can't survive on the border and came to join me."
The border troops couldn't survive and came to seek refuge?
It doesn’t even look like this!
Anyway, Xu San didn't believe it. Each of these hundred people wore brand new armor and were tall and tall. Even through the armor, you could feel the strong tendons under the armor.
From a distance, it gives people a sense of stability as solid as a rock.
Are you telling him that they are all people who cannot survive?
Those who really can't survive are as hungry as poles swinging in the wind.
Han Xi ignored the expressions of the villagers and led the people into the cave. However, he soon discovered that more than a hundred people had squeezed in, and there was not enough space at once.
So some people could only stay outside and watch the horses.
Han Xi thought to himself that it was time to find a place to call his own territory.
This year, frost killed the crops near Yan'an Prefecture, and the grain production in the entire Yan'an Prefecture was reduced by more than half. Many people in the villages began to flee the famine, or rebelled with Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang.
So there are many empty villages in the mountains.
Now that he has force, Han Xi can find a village to settle in and develop slowly, find out the current environment and surrounding conditions, and then make next plans.
Thinking of this, Han Xi quickly calmed down, and then slept in the smelly cave, which was the most peaceful sleep he had ever had.
Compared to Han Xi, he slept peacefully.
A group of villagers were very uneasy. In fact, the soldiers of the empire had a sense of oppression that made them a little afraid.
I'm afraid that if I close my eyes, I'll be hacked by the opponent.
Only the thick-headed A Niu approached a matchlock gunner and said very familiarly: "Hey! Brother, where are you from?"
"From Mizhi on the border of northern Shaanxi!" the soldier replied very coldly.
These imperial soldiers were summoned and asked Han Xi to set up his birthplace.
Therefore, Han Xi unified and established Mizhi County on the border of Yan'an Prefecture, which is the county seat where Li Zicheng is located.
"Mizhi? Isn't that place far away from Yan'an Prefecture? Judging from your clothes, you must be the servants of some officer and soldier, right? How did you get here?" A Niu asked next.
"We didn't get food and wages, so we came here!" the soldier said, still expressionless.
A Niu nodded when he heard this. Most of the officers and soldiers who had come to join him before were because they had not received food and salary. The poor ones had used their wives and children at home in exchange for food.
There was really no way to survive, so they rebelled.
In this way, Aniu kept chatting with the matchlock gunners around him, and the villagers around him listened with their ears pricked up.
In this way, the night passed quite peacefully.
The next morning, Han Xi woke up before dawn, and then he got bad news.
Even these imperial soldiers who were summoned had to eat.
Han Xi thought for a while, if he could turn food into food with his own hands, it would probably take half a day to feed more than a hundred people.
But Han Xi quickly thought of a way. There were corn, potatoes, cattle and sheep in the system that could be exchanged.
Thinking of this, Han Xi looked at the 95,000 empire coins left on his account and said, "You guys, follow me out to find some food."
With that said, Han Xi led a dozen imperial soldiers out of the cave, preparing to find a place to exchange the cattle and sheep.
A Niu and Xu San looked a little strange. Almost all the food available nearby had been eaten by the group.
But then I thought about it, there were sixty horses outside.
Xu San quickly felt relieved, thinking that the cavalry must have gone elsewhere to find food.
Han Xi naturally returned to the original forest while it was still dark.
When they arrived in the woods, Han Xi silently calculated in his mind how much food one hundred and twenty-six people would eat in a day.
Eating two or three kilograms of meat a day is probably enough, right?
Thinking of this, Han Xi exchanged six sheep for a cost of 180 imperial coins. There was a sudden pain in his heart. According to his memory, a hundred-jin sheep cost only two taels of silver.
One hundred and eighty imperial coins can be exchanged for ninety sheep.
But now even if there is money, no one will sell them, so I can only bear the pain and exchange them for six.
But what pleased Han Xi was that the sheep produced by these systems were very large, and one of them seemed to weigh two hundred kilograms.
Calculated this way, a sheep has at least one hundred kilograms of meat.
Six hundred pounds of meat should be enough for a group of people to eat for two days.
Soon, Han Xi thought that horses also need to eat, so he asked the imperial cavalry beside him: "How much do these horses eat in a day?"
The imperial soldier thought for a moment and replied: "The fodder is about ten kilograms, and for grains, three kilograms will be enough."
Hearing this, Han Xi touched his chin and saw that sixty horses had produced about a hundred kilograms of grain in one day.
As for letting horses eat weeds?
The frost has killed more than just the crops. Many grasses in the forest have withered. Now at a glance, the entire forest is lifeless.
After thinking about it, Han Xi bought another three hundred kilograms of corn cobs, which cost him ninety imperial coins.
Using corn cobs as temporary rations for horses should be fine.
