As Sun Guang and Li Qun talked, they couldn't help but look glistening in their eyes.
After training the soldiers, Song Jinxiu let Tayun go to graze on his own.
This time when she went to southern Xinjiang, she brought Su Chuan and the thirty-six guards given to her by His Majesty.
The thirty-six guards moved from the dark to the light, each equipped with two war horses, protecting her at all times.
After a period of running-in, Song Jinxiu also had a better understanding of the Thirty-Six Guards. These people were equivalent to her death warriors. From the moment they recognized their master, she was their master.
But in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he lets the treasure-hunting rat Junjun play with them and secretly places a master-servant contract on them.
So, these people are reliable.
Being sure that these people are reliable, Song Jinxiu will naturally not be stingy, and will naturally not be stingy when refining nutrients for Su Mo.
The thirty-six guards' internal and physical qualities have made great strides.
As for the treasure-hunting rat Junjun, along the way, he either nestled in the arms of the Thirty-Six Guards and others, or rode on the necks of their horses, and was very excited.
The only one who could do this was Tayun. But he let it ride on his neck and also let it sit on his horse's butt.
So the horse and the rat started to argue with each other.
Seeing that Tayun was left alone, it chirped and rushed over, then jumped onto the horse's back with a leap.
Soon, the treasure-hunting mouse began to play the horse training game.
Song Jinxiu sent a telepathic message: "Don't scare Tayun. Even if it has developed its intelligence, it is still an ordinary horse and can withstand your pressure."
She really likes Tayun.
The treasure-hunting rat said disdainfully, "Why would I need to release my pressure to deal with an ordinary horse?"
But this little ordinary horse called Tayun must submit to it, because it is the boss beside its master.
Soon, the sound of a horse and a rat neighing and chirping and quarreling could be heard from the hillside.
When Sun Guang and Li Qun saw Song Jinxiu resting, they hurried over with water bags.
"Your Highness, thank you for your hard work. Please have some tea."
Song Jinxiu smiled and pointed to the water bag on her waist to indicate that she had some. Then she said, "The two generals have worked hard. You can drink some."
Because they were marching quickly to Baliying, Song Jinxiu began to train the cavalry in formation on the way.
The infantrymen followed closely all the way and didn't fall behind much, so they were the ones who had the most hard work.
Sun Guang: "Your Highness, today the soldiers have captured a roe deer. Would you like it roasted or stewed? Do you like it sweet or spicy? I will order you to make it."
Isn't this fawning look too obvious?
Song Jinxiu looked at the two men and asked with a smile, "Generals, what's the matter?"
The two looked at each other. Sun Guang scratched his head and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, if the infantry can get horses, can we also form a cavalry?"
Song Jinxiu instantly understood what the two meant. She nodded without hesitation and said, "If you can get a horse, of course you can. I will pay for the horse. But remember, you cannot disturb the people, you cannot force them to buy, and you cannot plunder and cause trouble."
Sun Guang and Li Qun were suddenly excited. They knelt down solemnly and clasped their fists and said, "Your Highness, Sun Guang (Li Qun) swears to follow Your Highness until death."
Song Jinxiu asked the two of them to stand up and told Su Chuan to bring them two hundred thousand taels of silver notes.
Here, a healthy horse costs about eighty taels, but a horse like the one Song Jinxiu rode, Tayun, was given by His Majesty himself, and it cost one hundred thousand taels, and there was still no market for it.
The horses of Suchuan and the Thirty-Six Guards were also top-quality Mongolian horses, worth more than a thousand taels.
Therefore, horses were affordable for ordinary soldiers. Not to mention that military horses have their own fixed configuration, so infantry can forget about it.
Song Jinxiu also had her own selfish motives for paying this money.
As for the 1,000 cavalrymen she had newly formed, since she provided the horses, their feelings towards her were obviously different from those towards the 2,000 cavalrymen.
They were more friendly and even treated her as their own master.
Because she provided the horses, which was equivalent to giving the cavalry status to them. Just as Sun Guang and Li Qun said, they would follow them until death.
After all, the soldiers coming out of the Xishan camp have no real sense of belonging.
Just like Song Chunsheng and others, after training in the recruit camp of Xishan Camp, they can be assigned to the grassroots, and they will be soldiers of whoever they work for.
We have a sense of belonging to the Dingguo Army and the Su Family Army, and now we follow Song Jinxiu. If Song Jinxiu is a general and can always lead us, then we are Song Jinxiu's soldiers.
This was also the initial prototype of the Song Family Army.
Therefore, she was actually very happy to pay this money. Besides, she is short of money.
Seeing that the eldest princess kept her word, she really took out a huge sum of 200,000 taels. Sun Guang and Li Qun's eyes were moist.
If we can be promoted from infantry to cavalry, then the princess will be doing us a favor of rebirth.
So, the two were very moved.
Then he became curious again: The princess is going to the southern border battlefield, why does she carry so much silver with her?
Su Chuan squinted and said, "Princess, you are planning to buy food along the way. Use it to buy horses. Don't let His Highness down for his expectations and love for you."
"Yes, I will do my best."
The two of them thanked him profusely and left.
Song Jinxiu pinched Su Chuan's little face and said, "Girl, you are getting smarter and smarter, but your expression is still expressionless.
Su Chuan was praised by his master, and he tried to smile, but his ears turned red.
But Su Mo, who had been driving all the way from the border to Jizhou, was already three days behind.
During these three days, Sun Guang and Li Qun led 2,000 infantrymen and showed their special abilities. He went to visit relatives and friends, to the horse market, to the homes of landlords and wealthy businessmen, and even to the county government office to ask the county magistrate to give up his horses and requisition the horses from the county government office. Of course, no money was given for the horses.
There were also cavalrymen who helped. They drove 300 kilometers per hour, wiped out two bandit dens, and got dozens of horses.
In any case, Song Jinxiu was very happy to have another thousand light cavalry.
After adding Kailingdan concentrated feed, except for a few old horses that could not withstand the Kailingdan medicine and foamed at the mouth and died, the other horses showed obvious changes.
This time, the infantrymen had experience and knew that their eldest princess would choose people on horseback.
Being chosen by the horse, some people are quick-witted and have chosen some tender green grass to put in their arms early on, and have also prepared some candies that the horse likes to eat in their hands.
It actually works, and the horse chooses this attentive owner.
The unsuccessful soldiers all cried.
We had gone through so much trouble to find the horses, but we had never thought that these animals could resist bribes. If we had known this, we would have bought them a big candy as a bribe even if it meant eating and drinking.
Originally, we were all infantrymen, relying on our own two legs to climb mountains and cross ridges. Now, things are different, and there is a watershed. It would be strange if those who were chosen as cavalrymen had to watch their own legs trekking around.
Suppose there are 1,000 cavalrymen and two centurions. Who will lead the cavalry and who will lead the infantry?
Song Jinxiu watched anxiously, to see how the two would resolve the issue in the end.
