Chapter 57: Dragon Xiang Iron Armor Camp

Guo Shidao told Zhang Mai that crossing these mountains in the south and then passing by, it is the ancient Dayuan Kingdom, which is the origin of the sweat-blooded BMW.

"It was under the jurisdiction of the Dayuan Governor's Office of the Dayuan Governor's Office of the Dayuan Governor's Office of the Dayuan Governor's Office. He counted, he was also the subject of the Anxi Governor's Office." When he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little self-mockery on his face, "My Tang Dynasty once built a thirsty city there, but I don't know if it is still there. From the Dayuan Governor's Office to the Tuozhe City, where the mountains and plateaus and valleys are intertwined, medicine kills the river flowing through it, the water and grass are abundant, and the coldness of the highlands are the most suitable for the reproduction of horse herds..."

On that grassland-like land outside the world, wild horses that look like dragons flash occasionally, followed by the shepherds and drove away groups of good horses. Among the 100 good horses, there may be a thousand-mile horse, or even a world-famous sweat-blooded BMW!

"What a pity, I heard from Xue Suding that in recent years this area has become a place of war between Saman and Uighurs. Some areas have returned to Uighurs, some areas have returned to Saman, and a large area of ​​land has become a homeless wilderness. The nation has fallen into a state of poverty. Alas, it is really heartbreaking to think about it!"

The nation is destroyed and the people are living in poverty. What about the bloody BMW?

Zhang Mai wanted to know this, but Guo Shidao Yang Dingguo obviously could not answer this question.

Just when Special Envoy Zhang was thinking about the Sweat-Blooded BMW, he didn't know that Zheng Wei, who was counting the spoils, had the news he wanted. Because Zhang Mai showed full trust in Zheng Wei, he did not nag about what was in the spoils. Where did Zheng Wei know that Zhang Mai had such a special thought about Sweat-Blooded BMW?

Zhang, Guo and Yang were moved by the past at the top of the city. When two soldiers from Zhechong Mansion and Zhaowu Division had already entered the city, the Tang army made strict orders, so they did not violate the people, but they were not so polite to the Uighurs.

The residents in the city still do not understand the habits of this army. Everyone is like fifteen buckets to fetch water, up and down, every family is closed and there is not even a single person on the street.

Zheng Wei of Talas has been here more than once. He has a clear mind where there is the Khan Mansion, the barracks, and the granary. Xue Suding knows this very well. Under his guidance, the Tang army occupied it separately, and disarmed the soldiers who had no time to escape, took care of it, and obediently merged them into Xue Suding's Zhaowu Army.

The Uighurs were actually a dynasty without a subject ethnic group. Although the Uighurs were rulers, their population did not occupy an absolute majority. The races under their rule were very mixed. The Western Regions were only capable of following the power. Soldiers from Zhaowu, Tuqishi, Gelulu, Persia and other countries might not necessarily recognize Bogra. Anyway, whoever gives milk will be given will be followed. Xue Suding has been in the army for a long time and is well aware of the temperament of these soldiers. He will keep whatever can be used, and kill or robbed those who are prone to disagreement. As for those who have no combat power, they will be expelled on the spot.

After this sanction, the number of soldiers in the Zhaowu Army team reached more than 4,200.

Guo Shiyong secretly reminded Zhang Mai, but Zhang Mai said: "You don't have to doubt people, you don't have to use them."

Guo Luo also said: "If we follow our original system, we will first include the surrendered people in Fanggui, teach them Tang Yan, observe their words and deeds, judge their loyalty, and then step by step to the test. How much time will it take to enter China? How much effort will it take? Although our five major Zhechong Mansions have recently selected 300 new prisoners to join the army, there is a limit. If there are more, it will affect the quality of Wuzhechong Mansions, and it will be difficult for the new soldiers to trust their new boss for a while.

.The army suddenly had thousands more people. It would be unnecessary to waste all expel or detain them. Xue Suding formed a group of soldiers in a mess. The method was simple and effective. The most important thing was to be fast! Using this method to govern the army, although the ones who were not elite, as long as the chief general did not rebel and the food and salary could keep up, this army could still be maintained. I think Xue Suding himself could trust, but the Zhaowu Army had too many people and would have to be reorganized in the long run, otherwise chaos would occur."

Zhang Mai said: "Generals should know the soldiers, and soldiers should know the generals. We should be in the same way. If we were prisoners, and a stranger came from above as the commander, we would always be wondering. Who knows what will happen to us for the new boss? But if Shangfeng is a person who is familiar with our temper, we will be at ease. Xue Suding has a good reputation in the Satuk army. Everyone who has heard of him said that he is generous and resourceful. Such a person is most suitable to appease the new soldiers. This is because of this. This is just a plan of rights and interests, and I know it in my mind."

Seeing Zhang Mai say this, Guo Shiyong nodded and said, "I'm just reminding the special envoy. Since the special envoy knows it, I'm relieved." After thinking for a while, he said, "The Zhaowu Army suddenly increased its soldiers, and Xue Suding must come to report to the special envoy. If he comes later, if he is vague about this and intends to take power, then we have to cut off his power, divide the Zhaowu Army into two, and send more military supervisors to monitor him. But if he actively requests to damage his military power, the special envoy might as well increase his authority to win over his heart."

Jiang is indeed a hot-tempered person. After a while, Xue Suding completed the army and came to see Zhang Mai. The result of the reorganization of the army was reported without reservation. Zhang Maixi said: "Thank you for the hard work of joining Xue. It's such a difficult and complicated matter. If someone else is afraid, you've been busy and busy. You've done it in just half a day. You're such a talented general!" Xue Suding led the Zhaowu Army as the "Military Protectorate", so Zhang Mai called him Xue Sucheng.

His praise was sincere. Xue Suding couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you, Special Envoy Zhang Miu Award. However, the number of people in the Zhaowu Army is too large. It's a bit difficult for me to command it alone. Now the preliminary reorganization has ended. It's better to divide the Zhaowu Army into two or three, and then choose the trusted generals to command it separately."

Zhang Mai said, "No, I believe in Xue's ability to join the army." Not only did he not cut off his power, he also handed over the maintenance of Talas's public order and half of the city defense. How could Xue Suding have ever gained such great power since joining the Uighurs? Seeing that Zhang Mai trusted him so much, he was grateful and worked harder to do things.

Talas is an important military town in the Uighur territory and is also the second most important stronghold in Satuk. Its scale is much larger than that of Kulan City. Its residents have more than 15,000 families, with a population of more than 50,000, and less than 60,000. Among them, less than 20% of the real Uighur tribes are the Zhaowu tribe. In addition, there are many descendants of Persia, Tochar, Turkic tribe, Tukishi, Tubo mixed-race, and Indian descendants. The white race and the yellow race account for half, while the yellow race account for only about 10%, which is more than 1,000 households and less than 4,000 people. Most of them have changed their surnames, and more than half of them are no longer able to speak Chinese.

That evening, when Zhang Mai and Guo Shidao arrived at Bogra Khan's mansion, Zheng Wei had already brought people to clear the mansion. When he was a businessman, he always warned others to come and raid his home. He really didn't expect that one day he would come and raid other people's home, and raid Satuk Bogra Khan's home!

This first house search showed that Zheng Wei was really a master in the house search - just imagine that a person who was guarding against others to search the house every day would naturally think more about how to collect wealth than others. Therefore, he calmly commanded the sergeant and digged everywhere. He was really accurate. He collected all the collections in Satuk Khan's mansion, and obtained a total of 550 kilograms of gold, 3,000 kilograms of silver, and twenty boxes of Saman's coins totaling more than 200,000 Dilhem. In addition, there were various precious fur, jewelry, jade and other things, which was really a fortune. Huang Cancan and white things piled up in a living room. Guo Shidao picked up a tiger skin and smiled and said, "This Hu Mao has accumulated so many things, have you ever thought about what is today!"

Guo Taixing, the former guardian of the Great Duke, was just a resource for middle-aged people. He has been in remote places for a long time, and the resource allocation within the cooking is OK. He does not have enough business mind and experience. He is not clear about how the Shangmai logistics in the Western Regions operates. Due to the limitations of the war situation, gold, silver and jewelry cannot be turned into important materials such as food, weapons, etc. Therefore, in his opinion, these gold, silver and jewelry are not as good as food, and the herds are real.

Seeing this, Zhang Mai handed over the house search and the inventory of the spoils to Zheng Wei for treatment, and signaled that the income from the house search, military rations and other items would be handled by Guo Taihang, and the gold, silver, jewelry, etc. would be handled by Zheng Wei. Zheng Wei took the list of house searches he had listed, and for the large amount of money he had in his hands, he had already thought of seven or eight ideas of making money with money.

He estimated Zhang Mai's personality and felt that there was something that Zhang Mai was most interested in, because this thing could effectively improve the combat power of the Tang army, so he took that list to show Zhang Mai.

"Three hundred pairs of armor?" Zhang Mai's eyes lit up indeed.

"Yes," Zheng Wei said: "It was specially made for the Satuk Guards. There were 327 pairs of armor. From the horns to the shoulder pads, to the chest, back armor, to the legs and knees, they were made of armor pieces. The craftsmanship level was between the Liangdang armor and the Mingguang armor. The standard used some Turkish patterns, but there was also some flavor of heaven. I guess these armors may come from Shule. The craftsmen there were mixed with various tribes, from the Tang Dynasty to the Tianfang to India."

After all, Zheng Wei is a scholar and likes to investigate and test every time. Zhang Mai didn't care about the standards and craftsmanship at this time, and just asked: "Do you think this armor is useful?"

"It should be very strong. This is a full set of armor." Zheng Wei said, adding: "Think about it, this is Satuk who is preparing to arm his guards. Guo Luo has already rushed to inspect and he knows this better than me."

Three hundred and twenty-seven pairs of armor are enough to arm a battalion. After the battle of Dengshangcheng, Longxiong Camp was killed in battle. The number of disabled people was as many as 150, but the remaining 400 people had seen Queen Yan Luo break out of the gates of hell. From strength to will, they were already elite. More than 100 of the more than 400 people were divided into fire chiefs and deputy fire chiefs and even the chiefs and deputy team chiefs, but there were still three hundred people forming their own battalion. This is the foundation of Longxiong.

In the camp, Tang Renxiao was the captain of the camp, and even the soldiers in Longxiang base camp were treated as deputy chiefs. At this time, Zhang Mai wanted to come over and put these three hundred pairs of armor on his own, but he still had to say hello to Guo Shidao for this matter. Then he smiled and said, "Old Guo, Mr. Yang, how should you distribute the three hundred pairs of armor?" After saying this, he added: "Is it better to distribute it in a centralized manner or to distribute it in a scattered manner?"

This is not an inquiry, but a multiple-choice question.

Guo Shidao twisted his beard and asked Yang Dingguo, "It's naturally good to concentrate."

Zhang Mai said: "That's it, well, Ayi's most elite and powerful man, why not let him pick out three hundred people and form a battalion, and use these three hundred pairs of armor to arm it."

He said this to Yang Dingguo. When Yang Dingguo heard this, he hurriedly said, "No, when it comes to elites and contributions, of course, he must first count the Longxiang Camp. These three hundred pairs of armor must first arm the Longxiang Camp."

Zhang Mai said oh, and asked Guo Shidao again. Guo Shidao nodded and said, "Dingguo is right, I think it's up to you. With these three hundred armors, armed Longxiang Base Camp, and the other twenty-seven deputies, we will reward the entire army with meritorious soldiers."

After the majority of Protectorates said this, Zhang Jianjun had no objection.

After the news reached Longxiang Camp, the soldiers of the camp cheered and immediately lined up to the school grounds. Guo Luo had been waiting there. In the midst of the sun, Zhang Mai sat on a tiger-skin chair and said happily: "Brothers, I sent a set of clothes when I was in Julancheng. I sent another set of clothes today, but this set of clothes is inlaid with a lot of iron pieces. It is a bit heavy to wear, so everyone can just do it."

The soldiers rushed up one after another, each of them took out a set of armor and put it on. For a moment, the entire school gacha gacha was filled with metal friction. Shi Jian asked his younger brother Shi Ba if it was heavy. Shi Ba jumped with his toes and smiled, "Where is heavier? It's as light as a feather."

Three hundred people took off their old battle robe, heart protection glasses and other objects, put on new armor, put on their snares, and lined up again. Their spirit was completely different on the spot. Looking from afar, if you don’t know, you would think it was Bograhan’s guards.

Zhang Mai smiled and said to Guo Luo: "You said, if there were three hundred more sweat-blooded BMWs, it would be perfect."

Tang Renxiao was shocked, and Guo Luo smiled and said, "This armor is good, but compared to Mingguang armor, I'm afraid it's worse. There are also Satuk logos everywhere. If you have a chance in the future, we have to create our own armor."

Tang Renxiao Xisheng and others all claimed that they were.

Zhang Mai stood up, changed into a pair of armor, waved his hand to calm the soldiers and generals down, and said, "Today I have changed my brothers' clothes. Brothers, who do you think we want to thank?"

Hundreds of people shouted together: "Thank you, Special Envoy Zhang."

"Wrong!"

Hundreds of people stopped for a moment, and someone shouted, "Thank you for the Protector." Everyone shouted, "Yes, thank you for the Protector!"

"I'm still wrong!" Zhang Mai said: "I borrowed money from the clothes in Julancheng by Special Envoy Zhang. It's right for you to thank me, but today this suit was rewarded by Bogra Khan. We all wear them, so how can we thank me? We should thank Bogra Khan."

The generals and soldiers looked at each other. Ma Xiaochun had already returned at this time and took the lead and shouted: "Yes, we want to thank Bograhan!"

Zhang Mai smiled and said, "Then why do we thank him?"

Shiba shouted: "Next time against him, we will kill his grandma, bear!"

The whole army laughed: "Yes, yes! Let's kill his grandma, a bear, we thank Grandma, Bograhan, a bear!"
Chapter completed!
