Chapter 458 Anti-customer
Night.
Qin Lang brought a jug of wine again, and tonight Qin Lang found the silver-faced Wei Tuo Qin Yong.
Willow pulp wine paired with marinated beef has a special taste. The two drink and chat without other people, but they are very relaxed. As Qin Qiong's old trilogy, Qin Yong is a fierce man. Qin Qiong once said such an evaluation to Qin Lang, saying that Qin Yong is a sturdy centurion.
And Qin Qiong once told him about the centurion, saying that among the three armies, the general is the leader and the centurion is the backbone. The team leader who commands fifty and the brigade commander who commands a hundred are actually centurions.
This is also the battle formation of the Tang Dynasty military system. It is necessary to stand at the front line of the queue and personally command the officers who lead the charge. In the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the team is the basic unit, and a team has a flag. No matter what kind of battle formation, it is based on the formation of the team. The team officers are also military officers with the highest death rate in the army, and every team officer and brigade commander who can survive must be a brave and lucky guy.
Even, generals, in terms of martial arts alone, they are often inferior to these centurions.
The Tang Dynasty founding the country, all the generals must start from the ranks of the soldiers, step by step from the pawns in the ranks to the generals, they are lucky, they are also scarred, and even older, compared to the young, in terms of bravery, they are not even as good as those young hundred Ladies and gentlemen.
However, at the level of generals, there is no need to personally charge into the battle, and the most valuable thing for them is their rich military experience.
Qin Qiong once admitted to Qin Lang face to face that if it was really a simple competition of force, in fact, Qin Qiong, who was seriously injured, thought that he was no longer the opponent of Qin Yong and Qin Yong. Ah Huang, the wretched old horse head, might not lose to him.
Commanding thousands of troops, Qin Yong and the others were almost ready, but if it was for Qin Lang to lead his pro-military tooth soldiers, in a barbaric area like Lingnan, fighting a small battle to siege the city and encircle the village, that would be enough.
Qin Yong fought with Qin Qiong all the way, from a small soldier to a general.
"There are also many brave and sturdy people among the barbarians. If those brave people can be awarded to team leaders and brigade commanders, and they can lead and set an example, then the combat effectiveness can be greatly improved."
Qin Lang deeply agrees with this.
"The sheep led by the lions are stronger than the lions led by the sheep. If we want to survive and develop in this wilderness, it is impossible without strong force. But we only have so few people, so it is impossible to create a powerful army like the imperial court. The standing soldiers are coming."
Qin Lang had made up his mind a long time ago. Although the emperor allowed him to have a large number of troops in the fiefdom of Wu'an Prefecture, the quota was 3,000 people from the three armies of a big country, and then he could have 800 soldiers as a meritorious official who sealed 1,700 households. There can be 50 people in the tent, relatives and relatives, and there can be no more than 850 family soldiers and pro-armies.
Theoretically, Qin Lang can legally own 4,700 soldiers and horses.
However, although Wu'an Prefecture is not small, it is simply unrealistic to keep so many soldiers for a long time, so it can only be a form of integration of soldiers and farmers.
The knights and warriors were originally designed for this purpose.
The knights and warriors are his vassals, and they are given land and fiefdoms. They need to prepare their own weapons, maintain training, and obey Qin Lang's call at any time to fight for him.
Each knight needs to be able to prepare ten servants, and each samurai needs to prepare five, who are responsible for training them and providing them with equipment during the war.
In this way, Qin Lang's 800 knights and warriors can also bring him 5,500 reserve militiamen.
However, the number of such knights and warriors similar to Fubing is relatively small, a total of 800. And whether the knights' attendant militia can guarantee combat effectiveness is another question.
The five hundred pro-army is even more sturdy, they are equivalent to the guards of the Qin family's fief castle.
Talking about how to strengthen the military force of the fief, especially the formation of Xidongman and Dongding Xiangyong of Hanminwubao into a group that can obey the command, forming the third echelon besides the Qin family's own army and the territorial knight warrior Yabing force.
Qin Lang picked up a large piece of marinated beef. The stewed beef stewed meat used **** slices, star anise, cinnamon, fragrant leaves, dogwood, etc. After marinating, it was soaked for half a day, dried and sliced. It was firm and tasty.
Compared with yellow beef, buffalo beef is a bit rougher, and even has a strong smell, but after marinating, those are nothing.
A large plate of beef weighed seven or eight catties. In the Central Plains, there was no way to eat it so proudly. Even a top nobleman like Qin Lang couldn't slaughter beef himself, and all had to be supplied by the imperial court. And their beef is not casually slaughtered cattle.
Either the cattle imported from outside the Great Wall, or the cattle that are old and unable to cultivate land from various places, after reporting to the government, the government pays for the purchase, pulls the cattle away, and then slaughters them for the court or officials and nobles. To eat beef, you have to rely on your status.
The higher the level, the more beef that can be supplied. The average person may only see cattle in their entire life, but not eat a bite of beef.
But in Lingnan, this situation does not exist.
There are very few sheep in Lingnan, but there are more cattle, even more than pigs.
Especially the barbarians, the mountains and valleys are full of cattle, and the price is not high.
Unknowingly, we talked about Yang Jiyuan again.
"Taking Lang Son Wu, how does Saburo plan to deal with those people, especially the Han people in the Wu?"
"You know, in fact, those people are called customers by barbarians, Hakka?"
Customer is the barbarian’s collective name for those outsiders. They hate these customers. These outsiders are very fierce, smart, and extremely clumsy. Generation after generation, they insist on devouring their fields, buying or robbing them.
The contradiction between the natives and the guests has a long history, and the struggle is endless.
Originally, in the eyes of the barbarians, Qin Lang and the others were considered customers, and they should be on the same side as the Yang family, but now, they are going to war.
Even in the eyes of customers here, it is very common. Because in the eyes of the barbarians, all the people in Central China are called Hakkas, but in the eyes of these Hakkas in their eyes, Hakkas are divided into many types.
The most important thing is to divide by region, for example, some moved from Lingnan, some from Bashu, some from Jiangxi, and even some from the Central Plains.
Therefore, several groups formed among the Hakka people, and they joined forces with each other, and also fought for land or water sources, business roads, etc.
Working together is even more intense than fighting between natives and hackers.
Many customer villages moved to the mountainous area after losing the Hakka internal struggle, and then fought against the barbarians. If they lost, they moved again, or they simply disappeared. If they won, they took root and continued to fight.
At that time, the Langshan Yang family first moved from Qilu to Cangwu, Guangxi, then to Jiuzhen County in Jiaozhou, then lost to Jiaozhi County, and finally retreated to the mountainous area around Langshan, where they finally took root and prospered.
No one will give up their territory easily.
For these Hakka people in Lingnan, it is even more impossible, because their territory was fought down with the blood of their ancestors in battles.
There are small fights every year, and big fights every three to five years.
Every time there is a battle, a meeting will be held in these Hakka villages, and a death squad will be selected by drawing lots at the end.
These are dead men, going into battle with the heart of death.
In every battle, these people are also the ones who suffer the most casualties.
Those who died fighting for the village, their parents and children will be supported and raised by the village. It is precisely because of these that outsider customers can gain a foothold in this wilderness, and even develop.
"After taking down Langshanwu, my Qin family will replace the Yang family and continue to lead the Han people's customers to gain a foothold in this wilderness."

Time to attack.
The expedition team is like a winding dragon, composed of countless steel helmets, silver armor and iron helmets, spears, horizontal knives, bows and crossbows.
The savages blew their buffalo horns and beat the bronze drums of Thunderlane.
The flag bearer of the Qin family held the military flag high and led more than 10,000 troops down the Qiongqi River to Lang Son.
The flag of this team is fluttering.
At the front is Qin Lang's 500 pro-army guards, each holding high their own capital flag, the white wolf flag attached to Lilang Guard, and the black cloud and long sword flags of Heiyun Longjian Capital.
Silver saddle and iron Hulu banners of Tieludu, as well as silver gun banners, sword and shield banners, and longbow banners.
The mountain wind in late autumn blew the flags, making a sound of hunting.
Where they passed along the way, wild beasts avoided and birds flew high, making way for this army.
Five hundred relatives guarded Wei Guogong and Qin Lang, Shifeng Inspector of Wu'an Prefecture. A strong man more than two meters tall held a flag for Qin Lang, and a unicorn flag.
Mrs. Anong was wearing a silver armor given by Qin Lang, covered with a red brocade robe, with a red forehead and a red forehead. Her son, Nong Cunxin, was also riding a pony, wearing a red leather armor, and they followed her. The mother and son brought a thousand warriors from Menxian Township.
Three hundred knights are riding lightly at the side, and five hundred warriors are also guarding the central army on horseback.
The Tielin Army consists of 800 people from the children of Zuoxi.
There is also a servant army composed of Dongding captives who broke through Shuikou and other strongholds.
Including the first batch of immigrants from the Central Plains, there are more than 10,000 people.
There are thousands of Dong Ding who are responsible for transporting grain and grass.
There are still ten miles away from Lang Son Wubao, and a Wubao with a circumference of about two miles stops in front.
It was built on a high **** by the side of the road, a rugged path leading to Wubao, condescending.
The road has been blocked by trees, and several ditches have been dug out. Yangjiawu soldiers are standing on the wall of the fort, as if they are facing an enemy.
Qin Lang looked at the fort, saying whether it was big or not, it was the outer fort of the Yang family's main fort, the location was not bad, and it was relatively dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
However, there are some shortcomings, that is, the dock is built on the hillside instead of blocking the road, and the road passes under the fort instead of inside the fort.
This means that Qin Lang actually doesn't have to pay attention to him at all, and just lead his troops to bypass him.
He has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he is confident that he can take down the main dock directly, so he doesn't have to worry about being cut off from the back road or having problems with the food supply.
"Don't pay attention to them, clear the way, we will go straight to the enemy's lair, and capture the thief and the king!"
