The next day, with Jia Cong's support, Borchi got his wish and became the leader of the tribe.
In order to help him stabilize the tribe as soon as possible, he made Xu Hua his military advisor, which was also a nail in the tribe.
From now on, when caravans come, they won’t have to stay too long.
Just put down the goods and take away the supplies from the tribe. Xu Hua will organize the rest to trade the goods.
The horse bandit camp was also supervised by Xu Hua.
The recruitment of cavalry went very smoothly this time, with more than 3,000 applicants alone.
Jia Cong also asked people to tell the more than 1,200 captives that as long as they join his cavalry team and kill three people, they can enjoy the normal treatment of a special soldier, with a military salary of two taels of silver per month.
On the grassland, prisoners of war were slaves of the winning side, and they were usually given to meritorious warriors.
The plundered population are also slaves. Except for the leader who owns the majority, the remaining part must also be distributed to the meritorious people.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
When these prisoners heard that such a good thing was happening, they all signed up to take the assessment without any hesitation.
In the equestrian competition in the morning, there was not much difference. They were all men who grew up on horses and were very proficient in riding skills.
In the afternoon, the physical strength test was conducted, and the gap was revealed. Only more than 2,100 people were selected out of more than 4,000 people.
Another contest followed, this time involving bravery.
According to the competition, captains of ten and centurions were selected. Wang Shun and Zhang Hu were selected as captains of thousands, each leading a thousand people.
These two thousand one hundred people, plus Wang Shun's original subordinates, totaled more than two thousand three hundred people, forming a cavalry team. Wang Shun served as the commander, Zhang Hu served as the deputy commander, and Xu Hua served as the military advisor.
Now there are two thousand more cavalry, and I don't know if Wang Shun and Zhang Hu can command them.
Wang Shun had commanded more than 300 people at most before. Although Zhang Hu had learned the art of war from him, he had never practiced it. It seemed that he could only get used to it slowly.
Let them train for a while first. Let them get familiar with their subordinates first, and then they will gradually have a tacit understanding.
The new leader of the tribe, Borchi, also organized the remaining young men into a tribal guard of more than 2,000 people.
With Xu Hua's help in planning and management, the entire tribe slowly got on the right track.
However, if Borchi wants to legitimately own this tribe, he still needs to pass the Mongolian Taiji level.
It requires the recognition and canonization of Mongolian Taiji to be considered a true tribal leader.
There is nothing Jia Cong can do about this level. He can only rely on Borchi's own ability and luck.
After some deliberation, Borchi took several carts of gifts and his own guards to meet with their Taiji, hoping to be recognized.
Xu Hua stayed behind to look after the tribe. After all, Borchi had no foundation and could easily be overthrown.
This is also the main reason why he regards Jia Cong as his leader, looking for a powerful backer and ally to help consolidate his position.
The caravan gained a lot this time. In addition to the materials traded, there was also Lao Balai's family property and most of Zalim's family property.
After Borchi took over the tribe, he legitimately took over Zalim's property. In order to win over Jia Cong, he dedicated most of Zalim's collection to him.
Naturally, Jia Cong was not polite and accepted the order.
I selected some high-quality goods and kept them for my own use. The rest were handed over to the caravan and asked to be taken back to the mainland for processing.
After Borchi left, the caravan had packed its bags and started to return.
In order to wait for news from Borchi, Jia Cong chose to stay, along with Wang Shun and his cavalry team.
Without getting the exact result, Jia Cong was still a little worried.
After all, having Borchi here is very beneficial to me. To be honest, there is no difference between this tribe and my own.
Han Nianci also took her men and some luxuries left by Jia Cong and returned to Heishan Village with the caravan.
Wangcai handed the 300 war horses he brought back to Zhang Dakui, and then took the caravan back to Linhe Villa in Shenjing.
Zhang Dakui was very happy to get the war horse. Besides training, he also took time to let the new recruits practice riding skills, hoping to become qualified cavalry as soon as possible.
Jia Cong waited in the tribe for a few days. With nothing to do, he decided to go out for a walk.
I found Zaldan and learned about the surrounding terrain.
This Zaldan was one of Zalim's four guards. The four of them could serve as Zalim's personal guards and survived on the battlefield. They were also warriors in the tribe. Jia Cong directly incorporated them into his family. Guard.
When walking on this border, it is very convenient to have a few Mongolians by your side.
Jia Cong took Qingwen, Li Biao, the four guards of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and a hundred personal guards, and followed Zaldan to play on the grassland for three days.
I saw the beautiful scenery of the grassland with a clear sky, vast fields, wind-blown grass and cattle and sheep.
On the boundless prairie, there are cattle and sheep eating green grass on the grass, herdsmen grazing on horseback, round tents, slowly rising smoke, plus the blue sky and the white clouds. , forming a perfect picture.
I also experienced the thrill of galloping on the prairie, which is really refreshing.
The furthest they ran was three hundred miles away, close to the Tuman people, and further east they entered the territory of the Tuman people.
Zaldan said: "Third Master, we can only go here. It is not safe to go any further. We may encounter the barbarian patrols."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Then go back. Next time we will take the caravan over there to have a look."
Everyone turned their horses' heads and walked back and forth leisurely.
When Jia Cong saw the eagle hovering in the sky in front of him, his heart moved.
If you can tame one, it will be very useful when fighting in the wild. You can detect the enemy's situation to avoid being ambushed without knowing it.
If you have your own eagle, you can know the enemy situation around you very well. Once you tame it, you can also pass on information.
He turned around and asked, "Zaldan, are there any falcons in your tribe or nearby tribes?"
Zaldan shook his head and said: "Reporting to the third master, our tribe does not have it, nor the nearby tribes. If the third master wants to raise it, Haidongqing from the barbarian tribe is a good choice.
But it's not easy to get it. Hai Dongqing usually lives on a cliff and has to hire a large number of hunters to find it. "
This is true. Hai Dongqing always flies at high altitude, so it is really not easy to catch him.
Unless you find its nest, wait until it hatches, climb the cliff to get the baby bird, and then slowly raise it.
When I have time, I will take the special team to the beach and see Changbai Mountain by the way.
"Reporting to Third Master, there is a group of barbarians coming behind us. There are about a hundred people. They are coming towards us. They are still five miles away. Their intentions are unknown. Please give me some instructions, Third Master."
Jia Cong was a little confused when he heard this. Could it be that he was here for people like himself?
Then he shook his head, he just walked out casually, no one could know his whereabouts.
No matter what the opponent's intentions are, it is better to prepare in advance to avoid being overwhelmed by a charge.
When enemies meet in the wild, they always strike first to gain the upper hand, and to strike later suffer disaster.
"Everyone is ready to fight, target the enemies in the rear, and prepare to charge."
Everyone quickly adjusted into a charging formation, controlled their horses, and started to trot slowly.
At this time, he saw the team on the opposite side, and Jia Cong shouted: "Kill!"
He urged the war horses under his legs and took the lead to charge forward. The rapid sound of horse hooves rumbled, and the entire cavalry team rushed towards the team in front like an arrow off the string.
The horse team on the opposite side also began to accelerate and quickly came forward, and the two sides quickly closed the distance.
When the two sides approached a hundred meters, they already felt the oncoming pressure. If the skilled people were not brave, they would probably run away.
Jia Cong quickly bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aimed at the person in the front, and shot an arrow.
With a "swish" sound, the opponent fell off his horse.
The charging speed of both sides was too fast, and coupled with the shooting speed of the bows and arrows, it was really difficult to dodge at such a fast speed.
After shooting an arrow, Jia Cong quickly pulled out the black knife. The two sides were already within fifty meters.
After a few breaths, the two sides collided.
Jia Cong took the lead and rushed into the enemy's formation. He saw a flash of black light and a human head flying into the air.
The horse continued to charge forward, and a long knife came towards him. Jia Cong stepped aside and waved the black knife smoothly. With a "pop", the arm holding the long knife was chopped off.
As soon as the other party let out a scream, his neck was cut off by Li Biao who came after him.
Jia Cong waved his hand to block a spear thrust from the left. Qingwen rushed forward and cut the opponent off his horse with a knife. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, guarded Jia Cong.
Behind them are Chunlan, Xiazhu, Qiuju and Dongmei, following closely behind the three.
The seven people formed a cone-shaped arrow and plunged fiercely into the enemy's team. The guards behind them followed closely and rushed in.
After killing seven or eight people in a row, he broke through the opponent's formation.
He ran fifty meters in one breath, turned his horse's head and charged into the enemy's camp again from another place.
The opponent's camp was completely killed, and they had lost thirty or forty people. When they saw Jia Cong leading people to kill again, they lost their courage and chaos immediately broke out. Some people even turned their horses and ran away.
Jia Cong easily killed them all again, killing more than a dozen people, and the remaining troops dispersed in a hurry.
Jia Cong yelled: "Take the squad as a unit and chase them separately. Don't let any of them escape."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately divided into ten teams, followed the captain, and chased after the fleeing barbarians.
Jia Cong was not idle either. He chose a direction with more people and pursued him. Qingwen and others also followed.
Several people rode the best horses in the tribe. After less than ten miles, they caught up and killed the man.
Looking at the person running the farthest, Jia Cong took off his longbow, bent the bow and aimed an arrow at the opponent. When he shot, he slightly deflected the position and shot the person off the horse.
He turned to Li Biao and said, "Li Biao, I spared that guy's life. You go and bring him back. I'll ask who he is later."
"Yes, Third Master, I will obey."
Li Biao agreed, stepped forward on his horse, leaned over and lifted the man onto the horse's back, then ran a few steps forward and brought back the war horse.
Everyone returned to the battlefield one after another, and all the escapees were killed, leaving no one alive.
Fortunately, he stopped at the last moment, otherwise not a single person would be alive.
"Li Biao, Liu Er, you are responsible for leading people to clean the battlefield, counting casualties, and counting the number of enemies killed by each person. When you return, you will be rewarded based on your merits."
"Yes, Third Master, I honor your order."
Jia Cong looked at Qingwen beside him, and asked the four people Chun Xia Qiu Dong, "How are you? It's your first time facing a cavalry charge. Do you feel anything?"
Qingwen said sheepishly: "Third Master, facing the cavalry rushing towards me, I felt really stressed at that time. If Third Master hadn't charged in front, I would have probably turned around and ran away. Am I useless?" ah?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's normal to have this thought for the first time. At a certain moment, I also had this thought. Remember, a general is the courage of a soldier. A general must move forward bravely, so that his soldiers will not be afraid of life and death." .”
Qingwen said with a smile: "I don't care about this. Anyway, I will follow the third master. If the third master charges me, he will follow me. If the third master doesn't charge, I will not charge either."
Chun Xia Qiu Dong also said: "Like Qingwen, we are only responsible for protecting the safety of Third Master, guarding him by his side, and preventing anything from happening to Third Master."
When Jia Cong heard this, he felt quite satisfied. He did not train them in vain.
He smiled at a few people and said, "You are not injured, are you?"
Everyone shook their heads, Chunlan said: "With the skills of the few of us, if we charge together, it will be difficult for anyone to hurt us."
After only a few battles, these people began to swell. This is not a good sign, otherwise they will suffer big losses in the future.
Jia Cong said with a serious face: "Don't be too confident. The number of people fighting in these few battles is too small. If there is a battle involving tens of thousands of people, once we enter, we will be surrounded.
There are enemies on all sides, and the war horses can't run at all, and they can't play any role. They can only rush forward and kill step by step. At this time, if they are negligent or have insufficient physical strength, they will be cloned by the chaos blade.
So when I select soldiers, the first thing I have to do is pass the physical test. Although your physical strength is stronger than others, how much stronger can you be? How much longer can it last? Never be too careless at any time. "
Chunlan said: "Third Master, let's remember this. No matter what happens in the future, we will be careful."
Jia Cong nodded and just gave them a little reminder, but it shouldn't damage their confidence too much.
Soon everyone finished cleaning the battlefield, and Li Biao ran over to report with a happy face.
"Third Master, this time we killed a total of 105 enemies, and two injured prisoners. We harvested a total of about 100 horses, more than 200 kilograms of ginseng, and more than 300 Dongzhu. We have forty people. The multiple injuries were all minor."
If he hadn't led the charge with his masters at the front, there would probably have been casualties rather than just minor injuries.
But, what are these people doing with Dongzhu when they bring so much ginseng?
"Have you interrogated those two prisoners? What do these people do?"
Li Biao said: "Third Master, I have also interrogated those two prisoners. They are envoys sent by the old slaves of the barbarians. This time they are going to the Mongolian Khalkha tribe, hoping to join forces with Mongolia to deal with the Chu."
