The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 82 The Calm Taoist

"Report, the tiger and leopard rode back, and they came back from the small road."

"It's good to come back, all the soldiers continue to quarry. Today, our Black Tiger Army defeated the Tartars. It's really gratifying. Immediately kill pigs and sheep. Everyone, don't be polite to this general at night! In addition, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!" Jiang Tao I thought that all the tiger and leopard riders outside were sacrificed, but when they suddenly got the news, they were overjoyed, and even Jiang Shi's mistakes were completely forgotten.

Hearing this, the tense faces of all the soldiers relaxed. The Bloody Guards, who knew the temper of General Black Tiger, all danced loudly. They followed Jiang Tao earlier, and with the reward for killing the enemy last time, all of them got it Dozens of taels of silver, everyone was thinking about how to spend it, and suddenly there was a discussion on the top of the mountain.

Some said to go shopping in kilns, some were calculating how many acres of fertile land they could buy, and some were thinking about marrying a wife...

Jiang Tao just heard it when he was returning to the camp, and his heart skipped a beat. He was really afraid of something. It seems that a heavy reward may not be a good thing.

And the disadvantages are not small. Looking at the situation, the Black Tiger Army is all dizzy. How can they have any fighting power?

In the past, most of the soldiers of the Black Tiger Army were poor people with little property, but now they have been rewarded heavily without any effort, and I am afraid that they will no longer have the desire to work hard in the future.

If this reduces the combat effectiveness of the Black Tiger Army, it will be very bad. Jiang Tao immediately ignored the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and with a dark face, he shouted: "Quiet, what is the order? Formation, everyone is the Black Tiger Army He is a brave warrior, and he will be appointed as a marquis and worshiped as a minister in the future, so how can he twitter for a few dozen taels of silver? Anyone who violates military discipline will be imprisoned!"

All of a sudden the audience was silent, everyone was dumbfounded, I don't know why the general suddenly got angry?
"All the generals above the school lieutenant go to the military tent to discuss matters immediately, and the others immediately go to move the stones, Jiang Bao supervises!" Seeing this, Jiang Tao extinguished his anger, knowing that he still had to be arrested from the officers, and it was no wonder that these people had just joined the army. The common people, the soldiers of the Black Tiger Army are not qualified soldiers after all, let alone have the spirit of the army, it seems that they are a little bit hopeless.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"No organization, no discipline, just a bunch of bandits!"

"As a lieutenant general in the army, you must not only lead your subordinates to fight tough battles and win battles, but also pay attention to and care about the changes in your subordinates' thinking, because this is the guarantee for the Black Tiger Army to defeat a powerful enemy. Do you understand?" Jiang Tao When they came to the military tent, they gave all the generals a hard training.

As soon as he sat down, the generals burst into laughter, and one of them said innocently, "General, are we bandits?"

Jiang Tao looked at it and shook his head secretly. It turned out to be the school captain Qi Datou who he valued. After thinking about it, he was right. He was the leader of the bandits. Are we bandits with stitches and stitches? We are all proletarians... Forget it, from now on, we are the Black Tiger Army, who specialize in killing Tartars and their hawk dogs, and then treat ourselves as bandits, this general will punish them according to the military law!"

Jiang Tao almost mentioned the proletariat, and sighed in his heart, these children are really honest, how can they admit that they are bad people?

Seeing the confused faces of most of the soldiers, who obviously hadn't comprehended the military order just now, Jiang Tao was speechless immediately. He called Wei Junshi and asked him to explain to everyone, while he himself went to visit the returning Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

"Brother, damn it, Brother Shi's left arm..." Jiang Xin knelt on the ground and said with red eyes, and all the tiger and leopard riders also knelt on the ground dejectedly.

Jiang Tao saw that most of the soldiers were wounded, but Jiang Shi was lying unconscious on the wooden plank, his left arm was completely gone from the elbow, he was stunned, not to mention that Jiang Shi had been his playmate and bodyguard since he was a child, and he just came here At that time, if he hadn't tried his best to protect him, he might have died a long time ago. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said word by word: "It's all my fault, Jiang Xin, you all get up, Daoist Zhang, I'm sorry! Save the kid."

Daoist Zhang Gan volunteered to serve the Black Tiger Army a few days ago. He did not know which mountain he came from. He has no family, but he is proficient in medical skills and acupuncture. He rescued many wounded on the spot. Jiang Tao saw that he was very tall. He is simple, not like a spy, so let him take charge of the doctor's battalion and heal the wounds of the Black Tiger Army.

The doctor camp now includes apprentices, and there are only about [-] people, all from Shangcheng County and Gushi County, most of them are barefoot doctors, and their medical skills are not very good, but some are better than nothing.

"General Black Tiger, you don't need to be too polite. This is the duty of a poor Taoist. Please don't speak loudly!" Daoist Zhang Gan is very thin, with a mustache and a sallow face. His exact age cannot be seen, and he is wearing a worn gray Taoist robe , said unhurriedly, with a sissy voice.

"Let's all go out for now." Although Jiang Tao didn't like it, he knew that talents were rare. He nodded, took the lead to walk out of the tent, and asked, "Jiang Xin, why did you suffer so many casualties when you didn't meet a large number of Tartars?"

"Brother, look!" Jiang Xin took out the thicker arrows in his quiver, and took out a thicker bow and arrow, and sighed, "Brother, all the Tartars use these, I tried this one just now. The bow can shoot 150 meters away, and the feathered arrows of the brothers can't penetrate the stomach of the Tartars. That's why, alas, but the leader of the thirteen Tartars is indeed extraordinary. He even killed two tigers and leopards. people!"

"Ah!" Jiang Tao was taken aback, what kind of combat power is this?Could it be that the Tartars are also so strong in hand-to-hand combat?

"The others are not too bad, brother, it seems that the equipment I'm waiting for needs to be changed." Jiang Xin quickly explained when he saw the disbelief on the young master's face.

"Well, very good. Jiang Xin listened to the order and immediately selected manpower to expand the number of tiger and leopard riders to 200. If the army horses are not enough, we should train the tiger and leopard riders first. As for the equipment, I will consider the matter of the general and deal with it immediately. This small battle is nothing, and the tiger and leopard cavalry of our Black Tiger Army will only become more courageous." Although Jiang Tao was worried, he knew that expanding the tiger and leopard cavalry was urgent, so he hurriedly ordered.

"Observe! My brother must train a tiger and leopard rider that is far better than the Tartars' cavalry!" Jiang Xin said loudly.

"Okay, with this ambition, my brother can rest assured. This time, the tiger and leopard rider killed 20 Tartars with real swords and guns. There is a big reward. Every officer of the tiger and leopard rider will be promoted to a higher level, and [-] taels of silver will be rewarded. "Jiang Tao felt distressed in his heart. It was a big loss for the more than ten elite tiger and leopard riders who only exchanged for thirteen Tartars, but he knew that no matter what, he could not dampen the enthusiasm of his subordinates, and it was his favorite troop.

When Jiang Xin left with his subordinates, Jiang Tao walked directly into Jiang Shi's military tent, only to see Daoist Zhang cleaning up and wiping the silver needles.

"Daozhang, how is Commander Jiang Shi's injury?" Jiang Tao asked eagerly.

"General, the commander can only resign himself to fate. In fact, he mainly lost too much blood. If he hadn't practiced martial arts for many years and was physically strong, he would have died a long time ago. Now he has only one breath left, so let me take it easy." The prescription of blood may have some effect." Daoist Zhang said with a sigh, his expression unchanged.

I saw him waving a pen to express directly, in one go, but it was pocket-size and small characters, which looked very delicate. Jiang Tao read for a long time, but he didn't recognize a few words, so he hurriedly handed it over to other doctors to get the medicine.

Hey, it seems that this Taoist priest has an extraordinary background, but why did he take the initiative to come to the bandit den of the Black Tiger Army?Don't you have a plan?
Jiang Tao didn't think about it at the time, but now he was quite puzzled. He asked casually: "Zhang Daochang has excellent medical skills, and his calligraphy is amazing. I don't know where he learned from? Why did he come to work for Jiang? Jiang is a rough person with a reputation If it is not obvious, don’t be surprised if it is presumptuous!
