After Cheng Xiaolian got the news, he began to develop with peace of mind, and the curse camp began to selectively replenish the source of troops, most of the selected were young Han men in the city, of course, the Burmese also made appropriate supplements, but this point, whether it was Cheng Xiaolian or Zhai Songjin, they all had the heart to get the master.

All they want are Burmese people who are forced to live by Burmese officials and people who are dissatisfied with the Burmese dynasty, as for the others, they basically don't want them, because after all, not everyone has the courage to help foreigners deal with their own people, and generally such people cannot be trusted. He can betray his own people, and what else can he not betray?

Of course, there are exceptions, like the kind of creature whose brain is not very bright, full of strength, and is known as a simple-minded creature with well-developed limbs in later generations, all of them were pulled into his team by Meng Ke.

Meng Ke decided to form his own team because he felt that rushing to kill with these soldiers was not only not exciting enough, but also dangerous to his life. He has rushed to the innermost, these comrades are still halfway up, often he still has to rush back, it is impossible to make a contribution.

So he specially recruited twenty strong men, the shortest of whom was eight feet tall, and they had to be able to lift three or four hundred pounds of stones before they could go down.

Originally, he set a request of 1,000 catties, but later found that no one could lift it except himself, so he had to give up this principle, after all, these people together can be regarded as better than nothing.

Half of these strong men are not living very well, they have no strength, they do the most and take the least every time, and they are deceived without knowing why. The other half of the family was killed by the officials, so they were full of hatred and only thought about killing a few more people.

Of course, these people didn't take the initiative to find them, Meng Ke took a lot of effort to find these people, he specially set up a ring at the city gate, put a box of silver, and declared that if anyone could defeat him with his fists and feet, he would give him a hundred taels of silver.

The stupid ones were sent by his relatives to get the whole money, and the hateful ones got it from the conscription place.

In the end, these people were all detained by Meng Ke, and those stupid relatives still wanted some silver, Meng Ke took the knife and asked: "If you want silver, do you want to die?" "It scared them all away.

Meng Ke took these people into an army from this day on, and began to conduct special training according to Cheng Xiaolian's suggestion, while the others followed Zhai Songjin to train.

After a month of training, Meng Ke's subordinates have undergone qualitative changes, everyone's faces have become ruddy, not to mention, people are more energetic, everyone seems to have a head, and there is light in their eyes.

Of course, Zhai Songtin over there can also go into battle, but they haven't seen blood, and they don't know what the quality of these recruits is.

Up to now, Cheng Xiaolian's subordinates have recovered the strength of nearly 2,000 people, which is a little weaker than the previous combat effectiveness, but Xiaolian is still relatively satisfied.

Then there is the training of Jinyiwei, Yang Youcai specially found the orphans who looked like aura on the street, and all of them were pulled back to their own territory, they couldn't do this job, and they had to be exposed in two clicks. In the past, with the support of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, each army let them pick people at will, and even if they saw a suitable one on the street, they could recruit them.

But now there are no convenient conditions, there are so many people in the army, how can they fight if they pick up all the dexterous ones, so Yang Youcai can only go to the village on the street to adopt a half-grown child.

If these children have both parents die, few people are willing to adopt them, firstly, when they grow up, they will inevitably have other thoughts, and secondly, as the saying goes, half the size of the child, eat the old man. It is the time when the body is growing, and it is too good to eat, except for the large families who receive it as slaves at home, basically no one wants to ask for it.

And now that there is such chaos inside and outside the city, who wants to suddenly put a living person in the house? So there are quite a few children of such a size on the street.

Cheng Xiaolian and the others were taking root in this land, when an uninvited guest arrived in the city and asked to meet their leader by name.

You must know that the situation is very delicate now, and there will be spies infiltrating at any time, so the defense at the city gate is very tight, basically everyone has to say their purpose when they enter the city, and no one cares when they leave the city.

Like that kind of string of relatives are the focus of attention, after all, there has just been a war, who has the heart to run to the city. was used by Yang Youcai to practice his hands with his gang of young generals, and it was much easier to do business, what kind of vegetable sellers and meat sellers, the city gate was registered, as long as they went in at night before closing the city gate.

Of course, the old-fashioned infiltration method of the troupe is also the focus of attention. All kinds of other suspicious people were classified, Yang Youcai took dozens of people to observe in front of the tea stall not far from the city gate, and then taught them the methods of observing people, and sent them to the various city gates, so that they could choose which person to track according to their own judgment.

And Yang Youcai also agreed with them, no matter what the situation, they are not allowed to do it without permission, and they must be in the presence of Yang Youcai or other official brocade guards to do it, otherwise it will be killed in vain.

And this person was in the tavern in the city, and he was holding a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy in his hand, of course, a person under Yang Youcai, and hummed: "Call your chief to come to me, or I will slaughter this kid." ”

Cheng Xiaolian heard the news and immediately rushed here, and the person who was so open-minded and wanted to blackmail himself must have his own plans. So he specially called Meng Ke, who was training in the yard.

When he arrived at the tavern, the man waved his hand and let the child go: "I used to think that you were a rebel army, but now it seems that you should not be underestimated. ”

Cheng Xiaolian snorted: "Who are you, what are you looking for me to do?" ”

"Hmph, are you all talking to people on the street?"

"I'm afraid that I will take you to my house, but you don't dare to go."

"I've come in Xianli City, what don't you dare to go."

The group returned to the place where Cheng Xiaolian lived, which was originally the general's mansion in Xianli City, and it was directly requisitioned, but there were many people living in it, and Cheng Xiaolian meant that everyone lived together so as not to be plotted by.

Now everything has not set up rules, Confucius didn't say anything else, he can live if he wants, now it's just a city, can he still put out the emperor's score?

The man entered the house, went to the lobby, and looked around: "Hey, why is no one serving tea?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled: "Come on, serve him tea." ”

After serving the tea, he took two sips: "Yes, yes, you kid is still an acquaintance, if there is a disrespectful sentence after meeting, I won't say anything today." ”

"Tell me, then, what treasure did you send us?"
