In April of the fifty-first year of Kangxi, in just two months, Zhu Bomu received the soldiers sent by the chieftain tribes one after another.
Three or four hundred at least, two or three thousand at most.
They were also smart enough to only give enough food to rush to Zhu Bomu's place. After they arrived at Zhu Bomu's place, they did not send food here.
In two months, Zhu Bomu had more than thirty thousand soldiers entrenched in Six Zhao Mountain. However, the quality of these soldiers was uneven, and many could only be used as grain soldiers.
However, Zhu Bomu didn't need them to be so powerful, because the army he relied on was never these soldiers, but...
" Put away your saber!!!"
With a loud roar from the county town, the five thousand cavalrymen put away their Yanling sabers at the same time. Zhu Bomu, who was standing on the commander's platform, nodded in agreement.
The five thousand cavalrymen in front of him were all elites wearing three layers of heavy armor. They were divided into one thousand southwest heavy cavalrymen, one thousand five hundred battalions, and three thousand three hundred battalions.
How elite were they? They could be compared to the Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the late Ming Dynasty, because the quality of their soldiers, equipment, and armor were the same as the 3,000 Liaodong Iron Cavalry that Li Chengliang relied on.
How strong were the Liaodong Iron Cavalry?
Li Chengliang relied on the 3,000 Liaodong cavalry to beat up the Haixi Jurchen, Jianzhou Jurchen, and Horqin Mongolians as his younger brothers. Nurhachi's grandfather was forced to self-immolate and die.
Li Rusong had relied on 3,000 Liaodong Iron Cavalry and 2,000 Light Cavalry to encounter Kobayakawa Takagi and the Uki Takeshi family's 40,000-strong Japanese army.
One had to know that these were the elites of the Warring States Period. Although later generations ridiculed them as Japanese dwarves, their combat strength could not be underestimated.
However, it was precisely these 40,000 Japanese soldiers who had experienced the Warring States Period that were unable to stop the 3,000 Liaodong cavalry in the Battle of Bitiguan. After the war, there was even a tragic case of the Ming army trampling on our troops in the Japanese historical records.
Even though Li Rusong's 5,000 men had lost less than 2,000 men after the war, the number of Japanese casualties was multiple of the Ming army's.
Forty thousand men had surrounded five thousand men, but they had suffered more casualties than the enemy. The strength of the Liaodong cavalry was evident, and the five thousand men standing on the drill ground were a strong army of this level.
"Flags of a thousand sails, horses neighing and blades whistling in the wind ~" Mu Yong and Li Dao, who had just returned, could not help but sigh when they saw this scene.
"They are elites, but they haven't seen blood yet. Jiaozhi is a good whetstone.”Zhu Bomu, who was standing in the main seat, looked at the five thousand cavalrymen. The smile in his heart had already flowed to the surface.
Seeing Zhu Bomu so happy, Mu Yong, who was beside him, immediately probed,"My lord, the battle against Jiaozhi…"
" Li Dao is going to fight this battle. I'll observe and learn from him. You just stay behind!'Zhu Bomu did not wait for Mu Yong to speak and patted him with a smile.
"What? I'm the one guarding again?" Hearing that the person who stayed behind was him again, Mu Yong's heart simply could not help but feel too uncomfortable.
To a general, it was very uncomfortable not to fight, and it was even more uncomfortable to not fight when there was a battle.
There was nothing he could do about it. The system had given Mu Yong and Li Dao the identities of the descendants of the Duke of Qian, Mu Tianbo, and the Prince of Qiyang, Li Wenzhong.
Both of them knew how to use weapons, and Li Dao was even more skilled in both martial arts and martial arts. He could be considered a big gift from the system to him.
Logically speaking, Zhu Bomu should let Li Dao stay behind. However, Jiaozhi had a large population and sharp internal conflicts. Even after the shogunate was upgraded, Zhu Bomu could recruit a hundred aides to help him govern the country.
However, Zhu Bomu had never governed a country before, so he needed someone like the Prime Minister to help him.
Li Dao was skilled in both literature and martial arts. Previously, he managed the town in an orderly manner. After he left, he was able to build a good relationship with so many chieftains. Clearly, he was a good hand for the Prime Minister.
Moreover, Mu Yong was at the back, so he could monitor Yang Mubo's actions at any time. If necessary, he could also support Yang Mubo with the identity that Yang Mubo and the others trusted.
Li Dao also thought of what Zhu Bomu thought of, so he patted Mu Yong's shoulder with a smile,""Old Mu, the two of us are only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. The following battle is still long. I reckon that after I finish fighting Jiaozhi, I won't have the chance to fight in the future.”
'Go, go, go! You brat, you're still pretending to be obedient after getting a bargain! Who knows what will happen in the future? After slapping Li Dao's hand away, Mu Yong immediately looked depressed.
Zhu Bomu, who was next to him, smiled and asked,""The soldiers still need some time to train. I'll leave this period to you.”
"Whatever Wansui says, I, Old Mu, will do as he says. However, you have to promise me that after the battle of Jiaozhi, you have to leave Nanzhang to me!”When Mu Yong said this, he glared at Lee Dao beside him.
" Hehe, we'll talk about it when the time comes." Zhu Bomu looked at Mu Yong and smiled helplessly. Then, he saw Shen Lian riding his horse into the drill ground not far away. He ran up to the marshal's platform anxiously.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Shen Lian's anxious look, Zhu Bomu also became nervous.
"Long live, three days ago, our people met the people from the Sticky Pole in Chengdu Prefecture!”
"The stick…"
Shen Lian's words made Mu Yong and Li Dao nervous. Zhu Bomu also gritted his teeth,"
"I finally met him…"
