When Zhao Rong gave the silver reward, Li Lingfeng and the other two were also watching not far away.
"What do you think of this person?" Li Lingfeng asked the four people beside him.
“Strategy!”
"Good people!"
"It's a troop!"
The taciturn Lin Luo said: "This person will definitely be able to do something big in the future and is worth our follow-up. Anyway, the four of us are also homeless people."
In the end, Shunzi, who made great contributions this time, also won five taels, and the other fourteen prisoners also received two taels. In a moment, the entire venue was filled with joy.
"Okay, you all got what you want. Logically speaking, you should go back to your own house, look for your mother, and show off with money. But now the northern ethnic groups are plundering, and bandits are everywhere, so I want to be here
Recruiting heroes, training bravery, clearing up bandits, and protecting the country and the people. Those who are willing to join will sign up with the captains of each team, and those who are unwilling to go home after dinner. Those who are joining will be paid one or two taels of dollars a month
, and other rewards will be given to those who have committed meritorious service, and those who have been disabled will be given to others." After giving the reward silver, Zhao Rong continued.
"I'll participate!"
“I will participate too!”
The audience immediately shouted loudly, seeing that when they easily wiped out a group of famous bandits, everyone was immediately in high spirits. Following Zhao Rong, they could wipe out the bandits and get money.
"Don't rush to agree now. Everyone thinks clearly when eating. The future of the village heroes will have to undergo rigorous training and will no longer be so relaxed. In addition, there will be no such relaxation in the future. Death cannot be avoided.
Yes. After the meal, if you are willing to stay, go to the captains of each team to register. I will move everyone’s family here in the future.”
After that, the teams started to eat and talked a lot.
"Erniu, you're good this time. I've got four taels of silver. Will you go home or join the local heroes led by the adults?"
"I definitely want to join, it's much better than doing zero work for others."
"Brother Shan, are you going to join?" A young man asked the middle-aged man beside him.
"Join, the adults said that we would move our family here as well. With the protection of our adults, our family will be safeguarded. Now the world is getting more and more chaotic, and my wife and children live in Xinyan Town, I am really worried."
…………
"Yuaner, what should I do if those bandits and prisoners are? There are more than 100 people here, plus more than 100 people in Xinyan Town, and there are more than 230 people in total. How to deal with it, you have to make an idea." Li was having a meal.
Chen Feng said.
"Around twenty people who were extremely guilty were killed and asked Zhou Li to take it to receive rewards. As for the rest, those who were willing to follow us, join us. Those who were unwilling would also be handed over to Zhou Li to deal with it. For surrender, Shunzi will go first.
Give all the prisoners.”
"Brother, will we move to join Xiangyong's family be unruly? Isn't the government not allowed to move casually?" asked Zhao Ning, the honest man.
"The government has no time to manage this now. They want these refugees to move to places where they can settle down, the farther away from the county, the better. As long as they don't become bandits and don't run to the county town, they won't be able to
It's in charge." Before Zhao Rong could speak, Xiao Changshan spoke.
Zhao Rong glanced at Li Lingfeng and the other two, and said with a smile: "Have you five thought about it? What should I do?"
The five people did not answer, but Xiao Changshan asked: "If we are unwilling to follow the adults, what should we do?"
Zhao Rong said calmly: "What do you think?"
"The adults will kill us! Because he committed many laws and pretended to be a soldier, he was guilty of death! It was also a death sentence for private recruitment of the township hero without the order of the county magistrate!" Xiao Changshan said calmly.
"Bang!"
Zhao Xiong and his brothers and Shunzi pulled out their swords and looked at Xiao Changshan and the other two with anger, waiting for Zhao Rong's orders.
Zhao Rong waved his hand, asked everyone to put away their swords and said with a smile: "If I hadn't dared to do this a year ago, but now... I wouldn't kill you because of these things, and you have a good reputation in the copycat.
Oh, let’s talk about more than 500 people here, and more than five of you have seen, and you don’t dare to report to the government.”
"That sir, will we let us go if we don't surrender?"
"No, I will kill you!"
"Ah!" Zhao Jie and Shunzi both screamed in surprise. It was not that they would not kill, but why did they want to kill again?
Zhao Rong's smile disappeared and said coldly: "You five are from military camps. I asked the prisoners and knew that you had made suggestions to Lao Scar many times. You are very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of this copycat.
I also know our current situation. I am responsible for the lives of hundreds of people. I don’t want bandits from other places to harass them."
“We won’t do that…”
Zhao Rong interrupted Li Lingfeng and sneered: "I only believe in the power of myself and my brothers, and I don't believe in guarantees and promises."
Li Lingfeng opened his mouth and did not say anything. The five people looked at each other, clasped their fists together, and knelt in front of Zhao Rong on one knee: "Longxiang Army Captain Xiao Changshan, Qu Chang Li Lingfeng, Squirter Chief Luo Li, He Fang, Lin
Luo is willing to serve the Lord, and he will never refuse to die!"
After hearing the five people's self-reported home, Zhao Rong and others were stunned. Then Zhao Rong woke up, quickly pulled up the five people, and said happily: "Okay, with you five, you are really a big wing."
"You are actually from the Longxiang Army. How could you... how could you appear in the bandit's nest?" Li Chenfeng asked in surprise, and the rest of them stared at the five.
Xiao Changshan gritted his teeth and said, "You also know that the Longxiang Army is a border army set up by the imperial court, with a total of 130,000, and is under the jurisdiction of General Zhenbei. However, the court was afraid that the border town would become bigger, so it allocated 50,000 to the governor of Youzhou.
The logistics department established by the Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of War, and Youzhou Xuanfu Envoy was responsible for the logistics department, mainly the Xuanfu Envoy was responsible for the allocation. Therefore, the entire Longxiang Guard had three forces, which were openly harmonious, but in fact the struggle was endless.
”
"We are the left guard of Longxiang Army, which is the troops of the Youzhou Governor. When we received the supplies two years ago, we offended the people from the Logistics Department. These people reselled military supplies and armor and were caught by us. Who knew that they would make trouble for the Governor.
, but it was not supported. In order to get the support of the three forces responsible for logistics, the governor sent us to the grassland to spy on the situation. When he encountered the enemy, there were no reinforcements. As a result, more than 1,500 people were gone, and only five of us escaped.
Now there are people who are killed and dare not return home if they have a home.”
"Damn, these officials only know how to make money, and even dare to sell the weapons and armor of the border troops. They simply ignore the country and use the soldiers as bargaining chips and abandon them at will." Li Lingfeng cursed.
Zhao Rong comforted him, "Okay, I won't mention him from the past. Now let's go here with peace of mind. I can move here to your family."
Xiao Changshan thanked: "That's thank you sir! In addition, sir don't have to worry about establishing a village and building troops. In Youzhou, especially in the north, there are many rebels who assist the border troops in resisting foreign tribes."
"You mean the court allows independent rebels?" Zhao Xiong asked in confusion.
Xiao Changshan explained: "Strictly speaking, Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou allow it. The year before yesterday, the imperial court dispatched many people from the border troops to the Central Plains to suppress these anti-army forces, resulting in insufficient military strength in the border towns.
Last year, all ethnic groups in the grassland began to invade, and the imperial court ordered that the three northern prefectures could recruit rebel troops to assist the army, and raise their own food, food, food and supplies."
"The court made a good idea and let the rebels fight and did not provide supplies, which means that the border troops were strengthened, and they were not afraid of becoming bigger. Isn't that even the towns and towns are inferior to the towns and towns? What's the benefit of going?" Zhao Fei said
He said angrily.
Zhao Rongdao: "Why is it not good? With the title of Rebel Army, you will have the reputation of being a righteous person in your work. If you have great power, you can't take care of you. As for food, money, you can go to the grassland ethnic groups to grab it. They will grab Youzhou.
People’s, let’s rob his.”
"That's true. With this banner, it's much easier to do things, and many things are justified. The Youzhou governor has three rebels under his command, but these rebels are all his private troops, built with the equipment of the border troops, each with five.
A thousand people, a total of 18,000 people, and many of them were old soldiers who used their power to replace them from the left guard of Longxiang Army. They were of great strength. Now, in Youzhou, Li Huaiyuan
It's the strongest side."
Xiao Changshan smiled bitterly and continued, "Just like us, if we lose one thousand five hundred people in a battalion, Li Huaiyuan can report two or three hundred more people. He will draw the extra people from the army and return to his own rebel army. As for weapons and armor, Li
Huaiyuan has been the governor for eight years. I don’t know how much he has saved. Naturally, he can equip his own private army, not to mention that the one selling weapons is around him.”
"In addition, the rebels often attacked each other, and the Youzhou government was happy to weaken itself, and by the way, they gathered the collapsed soldiers to supplement the lack of the rebels. There were no less than a hundred rebels in northern Youzhou, and they often entered the country.
All races in the grassland fought each other. In fact, these rebel soldiers were mostly ordinary people with no family. The majority were more than a thousand people and the fewer were more than a hundred people. They were destroyed today and started again tomorrow. In fact, the rebel soldiers had a very sad life. How can they support the army without money?
If you have money, you have to fight the grassland Tartars."
Xiao Changshan's words made Zhao Rong and others stunned, and Zhao Rong even saw the weakness of the border army.
"It seems that the northern border of Yan State is not good, and it will change sooner or later." Li Chenfeng murmured.
"Since that's the case, we will also establish a rebel army, but the most important thing now is to train soldiers, buy food and grass, and strengthen valley defense. Second brother, you can go and count the people you are willing to stay." Zhao Rong said with a firm voice.
"By the way, the rebels cannot attack the people, otherwise they will be convicted by the government. By then, it will be a real death penalty. The government and other rebels will attack, which is even worse than the bandits who cause harm to the disaster. As long as the bandits do not attack the county, the bandits will do nothing.
, there is no big killing, the government now has no time to take care of it, as long as it is not caught, it will be fine. But if it is used to loot the people under the flag of the rebel army, it will not only be wanted by the government, but also by the army.
The rebels believed that this would slander them, bring disaster, and would wipe out the other party, and get money to replenish themselves. They were very happy to do it. If they were weak, the bandits would also participate. As long as they were wiped out, these mountains were
The bandits will be pardoned by the government, become members of the rebel army, or become ordinary people." Xiao Changshan added.
