马场之内,马管特意巡视而过,见傅小蛙在打扫着空荡荡的马厩。
“娃儿,事情办妥了?”马管在马厩外喊道。
傅小蛙钻出来,见是马管儿,恭然地道:“妥了,我正清理马厩等着新一批马送进来!”
“你屁股咋了?”
“啊,没事,摔的!”傅小蛙瞧瞧后面道。
马管还以为他是骑马摔的,也没作什么深究,他道:“一直以来还不知道你叫什么名字?”
“小的姓傅,名小蛙,傅小蛙!”傅小蛙应声道。
“傅小蛙?”马管叨咕道:“好奇怪的名字!”
“山里娃,贱名好养和,大人,关于升职的事,俺看还是算了,俺就打理这个马厩就已经挺忙乎了!”傅小蛙搓搓手道。
“怎么就没个长进,想一辈子养马咋的,你好好干,说不定有一天我这位置就是你的!”马管诱惑着道。
傅小蛙怎么的就觉得,这还不是一个养马的,升不升职有什么关系。他可不知道,管理军中以万计的战马,职位可不小,至少也是五品。
“这个,哪个,俺升职后干啥?”傅小蛙觉得这差事是甩不掉了。
“做我的副手,给你个七品小职,虽然是个芝麻小官,干得好再给你升!”
马管旁边的属下眼红不已,想不到饲马司的总管竟然如此器重这小子,一下子就从小兵升为带品小官了。
“那要养多少马啊?”傅小蛙比较担心的是这个。
“以后马场都归你管。至于多少匹你自己数儿去!”马管笑笑道。
“归,归俺管?”傅小蛙不能相信自己的耳朵。他道:“那不是您的事儿?”
“我是总管,其实主要责任还是与军队沟通,接收命令,实际上管理马场的并不是我,现在是你了!”马管觉得,把这个重任交给眼前的年轻人,应该没太大问题,只要熟悉千篇一律的管理流程。管理马场并不是件难事。
“俺就怕做不来,这么大一个马场,看起来蛮难管理的!”
“怕什么,一步一步慢慢来,我会叫小六协助你!”
那叫小六的,就是马管身边的属下,听到这有些不满意。本来是伴在五品身边,现在变成七品。说实话,他还是想陪在马场总管身边,指不定那时总管一高兴,就给他升了职。不过这个机会,倒是给了别人。而且一下子成为马场的新管事。
“噢,那俺试试!”
“小六,你随我多年,马场的事也略知以二,以后你随着傅小蛙。有什么不懂的提点他一下!”
“是,大人!”小六无可奈何地作揖道。
就这般。傅小蛙管理起整个马场,小六是总管旁边的老人,对管理之事非常清楚,给傅小蛙边走着边介绍。马场运作多年,一切都已形成套规模运作,不是什么特别难管理。
吏部已经给傅小蛙登记造册,代表着傅小蛙正式成为一名带领奉祜的小官。
马场总管已经去军方接洽,需要几天才回,傅小蛙正式接管马场之事。
傅小蛙巡视完马场之后,对马场之事已经略知一二。
身边的小六拿着册子在汇报道:“粮仓余大麦一万三千担,干草,一万五千捆,一级战马三万六千七百五十余匹,二级战马……”
傅小蛙背着手拿着马鞭儿,站在广场上望着一片望不到边际的马厩,他回过头对着正在汇报的小六道:“是不是我决定做什么都可以?”
小六愣到一下,点点头道:“理论上是,但是大人,小的劝你还是什么都不要做,因为一个环节变化就可能引起整个流程混乱,到时总管回来,咱们可是吃不了兜着走!”
“这些战马都吃得太肥,作战起来大打扣,从今天起,不再喂大麦,所有战马赶到一百里之外的草地去放牧,晚上赶回来!”
小六慌然道:“大人,这可万万使不得,如此一来,整个马场的管理完全改变,到时会出乱子!”
“现在是不是我最大?”傅小蛙问道。
小六声音变小道:“是,是的!”
“那就听我的!”傅小蛙已然下定决定,因为他比较垂涎这一万多担大麦,一担可是一百斤!”
傅小蛙这么一折腾,可把平日里舒舒服服的养马士兵们给坑苦,本来只要给马槽里添添草就好,现在每天早上起来,就要驱赶马匹到一百公里外。
阳光普照,空气中混合着青草的香气,傅小蛙举目远望,一片翠绿直到天边,让人心旷神怡。
“哟呼!”傅小蛙骑着马狂奔,在草原上奔驰,身后是真正的是万马奔腾,宏然巨大的马群。
久关在厩的马匹得到解放,格外欢快,横扫而过所经之处被吃得光秃秃。
在空荡荡的马场内,一群愁眉苦脸的士兵在打扫马粪,这是新管事的要求,不过空马场打扫起来,却是更干净彻底。
晚上赶马回来之时,马厩已经整理得清清爽爽,晚上再添上些干草喂食。
战火已经点燃,浩城内外一片紧张气氛。大息王朝军队派驻各个山头,浩城之外地形复杂,山谷丘陵,两边分据而占,战略要地你争我夺。
而难民也成倍数的增长,因为巴图军队攻占速度极快,甚至超过逃难百姓的速度。攻占地的难民百姓在巴图军队到达数天后,才逃到浩城。
由于难民数量井喷式的增长,傅小蛙所面临的粮食问题无比严峻,还好他掌管住马场,把大麦都腾挪出来。让问题得到缓解,但这也只是治标不治本。
这些天来。傅小蛙的恶魔掠食者小队白天不停的训练,晚上出去掠食。宫少白等人在这样的生活中,才找到存在感,他们庆幸没有留在将军府,在这里,他们才发挥最大的价值,而不是每天猫在将军府里打木桩。
随着训练增多,实战也增多。这些人已经成长为老油条,出去玩命都不带眨眼。
难民数量的增长,恶魔掠食者小队的人数也在增加,新加入的年轻人留在城中训练,在考核达到标准后,才能像老队员一样出城掠夺。新人加原来的成员,掠食者小队已经由三十余人。成长到两百余人。
黑夜已经慢慢降临,天空最后一缕晚霞被星空所替代,傅小蛙出现在宅子的门口。
三长两短,不知道是谁设的二逼暗号,敲得傅小蛙都觉得自己在犯傻。
“天王盖地虎!”
“宝塔镇河妖!”
对完暗号,傅小蛙觉得自己彻底二掉了。
宅子里。几十号人已然整装待发,一个个磨拳擦掌,旁边训练的新人在一旁羡慕妒忌恨。
“头,今天晚上掠哪里!”宫少白速度的来到傅小蛙面前。
傅小蛙在队伍前来回惦量,巡视之后清清嗓子道:“掠西边。那边战事紧,人多。粮食也多!”
“正合我们胃口,好久没干票大的了!”宫少白兴奋道。
“这些新人训练得怎么样?”
“练了两天,嚷着要去,不让!”
“让他们再练练,等人数够多,咱就到大营里明抢去!”
“好类,我们起身吧!”
傅小蛙换好将服,骑上专属的战马,带着大队再一次出城掠夺而去。
城墙之上,那几个轮换守城的士兵早已熟悉这一队人员,连令牌都没看,吆喝着就打开城门。
浩城外西边,有好几个战略要地,两军交战频繁,在荒野中的部队也多。
巴图大军除开骑兵所向无敌之外,还有其它的强悍兵种,比如狼骑兵,马狼,关外特产的狼种,马狼并不成群,向来独来独往,体型大过老虎,据说一只马狼可以单独将一匹战马咬死。关外某一部族寻得狼崽养大加以训化,成为坐骑。除此之外,还有巫医,巨鹰,蛮牛,等等不常见的兵种,这些强悍的兵种让大息王朝吃尽苦头。
将军府处,却是听闻战报频频传来,薛将军一拳狠捶在桌案上。所传来之战报,无一是好。
在大沙盘四周,已经到齐各路将军,牧将军,张将军,李将军,等等数位将军,齐少白与薛凌香也在此前一同共议军事。
“东边失利,南边也失利,现在西边也即将不守,大息王朝之军队,为何如此不堪一击!”薛将军长叹而道。
