Early the next morning, Xie Yunsong and others arrived outside the military camp early.
Not in yet.
Then I heard the sound of horses neighing and the trampling of horse hooves coming from inside.
Xie Yunsong and the others looked at each other with shock on their faces.
This movement doesn't seem like a minority.
Could it be that they also brought the donkey in?
Xie Yunsong walked in while wondering.
I was almost knocked out by the smell of horse manure.
Haven't had time to say anything yet.
I was shocked and speechless by the scene in front of me.
At this time, in front of Xie Yunsong and the others, hundreds of horses were marching in place, and many soldiers beside them were cleaning up horse manure and horse urine.
no way.
According to Zhang Bao's intention, he wanted to give Xie Yunsong and the others a big shock.
Have all the cavalry ready and ready early in the morning.
The result was unexpected.
These three hundred horses gathered together, and the horse urine and excrement never stopped.
It almost drove Zhang Bao crazy.
I never thought there would be such a problem before.
I can't imagine the scene of hundreds of thousands of cavalry going out together in ancient times.
The most important thing is.
If you go this way, your traces may be exposed.
The enemy doesn't even need to look for footprints, he just needs to follow the horse dung, and there will be nowhere to hide.
According to Hu Dugu's suggestion, the horses should be intensively managed for excretion before going out every day. After going out, a cloth bag can be added to the back of the horse's buttocks.
But with so many horses out, there is no need to hide traces such as horse manure. It cannot be hidden.
However, it is still very necessary for the Thirty-Six Cavalry of the Bao Guard.
Zhang Bao ordered people to collect all the horse dung.
Can be used as fertilizer in military camps.
Moreover, it is stipulated that everyone's horses need to be taken care of by the cavalry themselves. Whether it is feeding the fodder, grooming the horses, or cleaning the horse manure, they must do it themselves and cultivate a close relationship with the horses.
for these soldiers.
He suddenly became a cavalryman. Naturally, everyone was overjoyed to have such a big treasure around him and took great care of him.
On the night when the horses were assigned.
More than half of the people and horses slept in the stables with the horses.
But now it is summer, which is just one night, and these soldiers can't see anything on their bodies. They really can't withstand the mosquito bites.
But when they got up early in the morning, they all went straight to their respective horses.
Busy and exhausted.
But for Xie Yunsong and others.
What they care about is not these, but the number of these horses, which is more than three hundred.
Xie Yunsong was dumbfounded.
Where did they get so many horses in just a few days?
"Shen, Sir Bao, this horse is..."
Xie Yunsong opened his mouth in surprise and came to Zhang Bao and asked.
"What's wrong with the horse?"
"Is this our cavalry?"
"What's the problem?"
Zhang Bao asked with a smile.
"This...is this too much?"
"There is actually a cavalry team of hundreds of horses in a county government?"
"Who would believe it?"
"Can Sanhe County have enough money and food to support this much?"
As the magistrate of Yunzhong County, Xie Yunsong naturally understands the county government's finances.
All military expenditures will not exceed 30%!
Military horses are much more delicate than ordinary soldiers.
"Brother Xie is worthy of being a county magistrate before. He knows our difficulties."
"The consumption of these horses is indeed quite terrifying. In terms of food and grass alone, one military horse can equal three or four ordinary soldiers."
“It’s a lot of money to spend.”
What Zhang Bao said was true.
If it weren't for the silent support of the Jinjin Brigade, Zhang Bao would not have the confidence to raise such a team of cavalry.
"Spend money?"
"Where did you get so much money?"
"Your Sanhe County has always been very poor!"
Xie Yunsong went crazy when he heard this.
"This...it's a long story."
"Brother Xie, does he know that there was a huge fire in Erlong Mountain near us?"
Zhang Bao asked Xie Yunsong seriously.
Xie Yunsong's eyelids twitched fiercely.
There was a huge fire?
What you said sounded so nice, didn't it?
It was clearly your previous county magistrate who set the fire himself!!
From what you said, why does it seem like it has nothing to do with you at all?
"I have heard about this. I heard that there were many rebels on Erlong Mountain, but they were all wiped out by this fire."
"The county magistrate before you was really quite capable."
Xie Yunsong nodded.
"It's okay, normal operation."
"This is not important. What is important is that after the fire, what do you think we found in Erlong Mountain?"
Zhang Bao leaned over and asked in a lowered voice.
Xie Yunsong rolled his eyes.
This is not important?
You don't understand the fucking shit, how can you understand the secrets of this?
Just talking about setting fire to the mountain, even if someone thought of it before, they would not dare to do it!
This courage alone is not something that ordinary people can match!
With just a pretty face, how can you understand how powerful our men are in fighting?
cut!
Xie Yunsong was very contemptuous of Zhang Bao's nonchalant tone.
"What did you find?"
Xie Yunsong followed casually.
"A cave filled with gold, silver and jewels!"
"There's no way to tell about the money inside. It's probably the bandits who saved it inside."
"It happened in Sanhe County. Alas, God still has a good eye."
Zhang Bao said sadly.
Naturally, they couldn't make the matter of setting up a gold-finding brigade public, so they could only find such an excuse to fool it.
This is not a lie.
After the previous Erlongshan fire.
Zhang Bao arranged for people to go there and indeed found a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. These things are not afraid of fire. Although they melted a little, they are not harmful.
Gold is gold.
Even if it looks like poop, it’s worth money!
"What?"
"Is there such a thing?"
After Xie Yunsong heard Zhang Bao's statement, he never closed his big mouth.
Does God have eyes?
What a ghost he is!
It's obvious that he's blind, okay?
I have been operating in Yunzhong County for so many years, and I changed people in less than one night.
There is no justice!
Why is this Sanhe County so lucky?
I'm not convinced!
Xie Yunsong was about to cry.
People can't live better than others.
"This, you have to calm down."
"Come on, come on, gather!"
"Let me introduce to you, this is Xie Yunsong. From now on, he will be the leader of our cavalry. Do you understand?"
Zhang Bao took Xie Yunsong's hand, came to the middle of the military camp, and shouted to the people below.
But after Zhang Bao finished speaking.
The people below didn't react at all.
Looking straight at Xie Yunsong in front of him.
"how?"
"What do you think?"
"What expression is this?"
Zhang Bao suddenly turned cold and said very dissatisfied.
