Chapter 72: There are many cavalry in the cavalry camp
The so-called Xiaoqi Battalion is not a simple single-army but a mixed army of multiple armies. Infantry, archers, cavalry are fully equipped, and there is also a firearm team. Unfortunately, Oboi does not like foreign things like cannons, so the cannons in the Xiaoqi Battalion have been disrepair for a long time and cannot play a role. However, the dozens of muskets in the battalion are still well maintained.
Moreover, the Xiaoqi Camp is the only legion of Manchu, Han and Mongolian among the three major camps of the Imperial Guards. Mongolian soldiers are good at riding, shooting, wrestling, while the Han soldiers are good at swords and spears. The skill level of the bannermen who are mixed with foreign soldiers every day is naturally not inferior. Therefore, the comprehensive combat power of the Xiaoqi Camp is better than the combat power of the other two camps composed entirely of Manchus.
Therefore, Kangxi asked Gao Xianda to pick people from the cavalry camp because he took care of Gao Xianda and had little to do with Chaerzhu himself.
But Chaerzhu did not dare to neglect. Although he was not the Aobai, he had more management when he was in power, so he saved his position. This morning, Kangxi issued personnel appointments and removals, and he almost lost his guard. He was inevitably a little palpitations. At this time, Kangxi sent Ruidong to him as the deputy governor. He always felt that Ruidong was here to inspect the work, which made him feel heartbroken.
He received Gao Xianda and brought him to the camp and chatted for a few words. He felt that Gao Xianda was quite decent and felt relieved, so he quickly ordered the soldiers in the camp to come out and lined up to welcome Shangguan's inspection.
Chaerzhu was not a fool. Otherwise, he would not have been able to sit in this first-class seat. Soon, under the leadership of his respective generals, the soldiers lined up to train on the school military field.
The soldiers were lined up in an orderly manner and had a strict military appearance. They advanced and retreated properly under the command of drums, which showed that their morale was booming.
Gao Xianda applauded and said, "Master Cha is strict in the army and has extremely strong combat effectiveness, comparable to Xiahou Dun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"
Most of the people of the Qing Dynasty read the Three Kingdoms well. Gao Xianda naturally read it before, so he quoted cases from the Three Kingdoms to praise Chaerzhu.
Chaerzhu smiled and said, "Brother Rui praised it. What kind of virtue can foolish brother be? How dare you compare with the ancients?"
Gao Xianda said, "Brother Cha is too humble. In my opinion, there are only 1,800 truly elite tiger and leopard cavalrymen. However, Brother Cha's cavalry camp has more than 1000, but he is as powerful as a tiger and leopard cavalry. Brother Cha is still above the Shuangxiahou! I, the Qing Dynasty, have such a talent, which is really a blessing from heaven!"
When Chaerzhu heard this, he laughed.
Ruidong is a person around the emperor. If he had this idea, this inspection would be considered successful. If he could praise himself in front of Kangxi when he went back, he might still have a road to promotion in the future!
Therefore, Chaerzhu became more and more show-off. After the team list performance, he ordered the soldiers below to demonstrate their martial arts.
The flag soldiers were similar to Mongolian soldiers, both of whom were good at riding and shooting. Soon two teams of soldiers rode out, and infantry set up targets on the field in advance.
I saw these riders galloping on horseback, and while moving at high speed, they did not forget to shoot the target with various difficult movements. Although they did not hit every shot, they also had a high hit rate. It is naturally an extremely practical technique in the battlefield.
Gao Xianda couldn't help but shouted again.
"Okay! Good horse! Good bow! Good kung fu!" Gao Xianda said.
Seeing that Gao Xianda liked him, Chaerzhu said, "My brother seems to be keen on bows and horses, why not come out and have fun with the soldiers?"
Gao Xianda shook his head and said with a red face: "To be honest with you, brother, I am quite skilled in riding horses, but it's a pity that I don't know how to shoot arrows..."
A bannerman, the first to be riding and shooting, how can he not be able to shoot archery? When Chaerzhu saw Gao Xianda ruling, he knew that his level was limited and he did not want to show his clumsiness in front of the zodiac. However, he confessed to himself so openly and honestly, and he was also an open-minded man.
He pointed to the knight who was flying the most in the field and said, "His name is Mo Rigen, and he is a fifth-grade horse bow guard. In our cavalry camp, the archery level is the highest. If you have the chance, you can have a private discussion with him."
Gao Xianda said: "Brother, you can really make fun of me. What a discussion? I'll ask him for advice!"
After a while, the riding and shooting performance ended, and the number of people on the field was changed and began to practice Buku's craftsmanship.
Although Gao Xianda has never learned wrestling seriously, he also understands the principles of wrestling, and he can still understand the tricks.
These wrestlers on the field are not professional Buku, so when they fall, they pay more attention to practical combat effectiveness rather than ornamentality. This is inconsistent with the theory of military Maga. Gao Xianda saw it very interesting.
Wrestling is not like archery. If archery reduces the difficulty and does not play fancy games, it is quite easy to hit the target. However, wrestling is a must-win victory or loss for two people.
Chaerzhu was afraid of losing Gao Xianda's face, so he did not propose to let Gao Xianda end the competition. He just introduced Gao Xianda to these good wrestling players in the game. Gao Xianda remembered them all in his heart.
After the wrestling, there were some equipment fighting performances. Because they used wooden knives and guns, and the routines were also simple routines commonly found in the army, so there was nothing new, so Gao Xianda was bored.
However, after practicing, Wang Yu, as a low-level officer, also came on stage to participate in the performance. Although he did not use his fish-scale purple-gold sword, his martial arts skills were far superior to his colleagues, and he easily defeated his opponent and then left the field.
Gao Xianda naturally wanted to call him a good name.
After watching all the way, it was almost dark. After all, the Knight Camp was outside the city, so Gao Xianda had no plans to go back. Chaerzhu set up a banquet to welcome Gao Xianda.
Since the two of them, other deputy commanders, deputy generals, generals, guerrillas and other officials with identities attended the banquet. They sat in a large room.
On a whim, Gao Xianda invited all the outstanding people he had met. These soldiers were middle-aged and lower-class officers and were not qualified to attend this banquet. This time, he was naturally very happy to attend the banquet.
At the banquet, Gao Xianda toasted these outstanding officers one by one, very enthusiastic. These people were naturally very excited to see that the new vice president could call their names.
The people in the army are all people with temperament and like to drink, so they will be more likely to drink too much when they are excited. Soon, the atmosphere becomes harmonious, and it is impossible to tell who is the superior or who is the subordinate. They all hug each other and drink hard.
At this time, a drunken general came over to greet Gao Xianda and said, "It has always been rumored that Deputy General Manager Rui is invincible. He is not talented, so he wants to ask for advice." It will not be continued.
