"Who said that it must be handed over to the government? There is a huge shortage of men, horsemen, coachmen, laborers, sailors, handymen, and other personnel in the volunteer battalion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although Master Chang is a genius, he is still young and does not know the truth of the long stream. As subordinates, we can't just focus on fighting, we also have to share our worries for adults in these aspects. ”

Liao Shun suddenly realized, "You mean to let these more than a thousand captives do miscellaneous labor?"

"That's right, if we buy those 5,000 war horses, according to Chang Daren's intentions, we will definitely need 5,000 grooms. Think about the more than three taels of silver in a Chinese New Year's Eve for a horseman, which is a full 150,000 taels, how many guns can be made with so much silver?"

The groom was not only a horse breeder, but also played the role of a servant army. In Chang Wei's plan, the 5,000 people of the volunteer battalion needed at least 10,000 servants, not only as horsemen and miscellaneous men, but also as guns, bullets, and engineers, which was a good supplement to the soldiers.

Liao Shun asked worriedly: "But we have all taken these two thousand captives, what should we do if the government investigates them?"

Lu Wenmao smiled and said, "This kind of thing is left to the adults to worry about, let's just accept people......

Lu Wenmao's thoughts coincide with Chang Wei. In order to recruit talents, establish a good reputation for himself and the volunteer battalion, whether it is a laborer, a handyman, a sailor, or a groom, Chang Wei gives a very high amount of silver.

This is tantamount to buying fame with silver, which works well, but it also costs a lot of silver. If this continues, the 10,000 or more servant troops that Chang Wei will need in the future will indeed be a very expensive expense.

On the other hand, Chang Wei can't reduce the cost of employment, because human nature is a strange thing. If you give to a person every day when he doesn't have enough to eat, he will be grateful to you, but if one day you suddenly stop giving alms, he will immediately become resentful of you.

Chang Wei knows this very well, so his ultra-high employment salary and super good welfare benefits can only go up and not down. Thus, from the time the camp was formed, he put his mind on the heads of the prisoners and the prisoners in the prison. Now Lu Wenmao has solved this matter for him.

As the name suggests, the servant army is going to go to the battlefield, and letting those ordinary people who get paid to go to the battlefield is not only unwilling, but also inefficient.

On the contrary, these captives themselves had fought and killed people, and according to the law they were to be beheaded, and as long as they were fed, they could be desperately killed. Anyway, they followed the White Lotus Sect because they were about to starve to death, as long as they could survive, there was nothing they couldn't do.

After a period of bewitchment by Lu Wenmao, Liao Shun waved his hand, asked the thieves to untie their belts, tie the hands of the people around them with each other, and then strung into a long team of 100 people, a total of 18 teams.

"This Lu Wenmao is a talent, very good!" Seeing that Liao Shun and Lu Wenmao had solved this matter, Chang Wei simply didn't bother them. Turning around the crowd, he turned to the side of the barrier to see Han chasing them.

"Is this a musket?" Huikong, who rarely spoke, saw Chang Wei take the initiative to ask for the first time.

Chang Wei replied with a smile: "That's right!"

Huikong's eyes had a look that had never been seen before, "I want a musket!"

Chang Weiqi said: "What do you want the musket for?"

The people in the rivers and lakes are working hard to hone their martial arts, rarely relying on foreign objects, and Shaolin Temple is one of the representatives. Although the musket is a powerful weapon, it is definitely not a substitute for martial arts.

"The musket is powerful, I want it. Huikong seems to have a language barrier, and there are only a few words back and forth.

Chang Wei smiled and shook his head, "The musket is a weapon in the army, so I can't give it to you." ”

"Then I'll join your army!" Huikong's words made everyone turn their heads.

"Join my army?" Chang Wei was taken aback, then shook his head and refused.

It is undeniable that Huikong's proposal made Chang Wei very excited, and it was definitely a big surprise to have such a master as his subordinate, but Chang Wei was only moved.

Huikong is a rising star of Shaolin Temple, how can Shaolin easily let him go to other people's disciples? Shaolin Temple has helped Chang Wei a lot, as long as he does not go crazy, he will definitely not dig into the corner of Shaolin.

Huikong's words were a little abnormal, "Why don't you want me? Do you think I'm too stupid?"

Chang Wei pretended not to hear, walked quickly to the already stunned understanding, and asked, "Great monk, how many people have been lost?"

"Thirty-three Shaolin monks were killed and wounded, and forty-two were killed and wounded by the Sword Alliance. ”

Chang Wei nodded sadly and said, "This time, thanks to the sword alliance and Shaolin colleagues, we can save the war horse and destroy the thieves." I won't say anything superfluous, I will definitely be grateful when I return to Zhenjiang! From now on, the Dao League and Shaolin are my friends of Changwei, but I will never dare to refuse!"

Bai Zitong said generously: "Master Chang is serious, the White Lotus Cult is a disaster to the world, and everyone will be punished!" It is undeniable that Bai Zitong is a very attractive man when he does not kill people.

It took only a short time for the musketeers to fight, but it took half a day to clean up the battlefield, and there was no way that there were too few men. All the 5,000 war horses were loaded onto the ship and transported to Suqian County in the second half of the night.

Ma Yuan, who arrived first, rented a river beach with silver to house the hundred and ten war horses. Chang Wei was not polite as soon as he arrived, and in the middle of the night, he directly opened the Suqian City Gate, rushed to the official office, and took out the county order who was sleeping with his concubine in his arms out of the bed.

The sleepy-eyed county magistrate was about to get angry, but he was gagged by Chang Wei with the token of the Jinyi Weibei Town Envoy.

"Brocade, brocade guard!"

The county magistrate immediately burst into tears and snot in his mouth, barely stopped his trembling body, and said: "Great, my lord, the lower official, the lower official is honest and honest, there is no lawlessness, didn't the lord find the wrong person? The lower official has three, no, the savings of 500,000 taels of silver are given to the adult, and I hope the adult will see it." ”

Chang Wei said with a look of disdain: "Go, go, who wants your silver." ”

I don't want any money? That's a fatal thing! The county commander collapsed to the ground and fainted.

The officials in this world, from the cabinet bosses to the Jiupin sesame officials, are there those who are not greedy? It is strange that I don't faint when I see Jinyiwei in the middle of the night.

Funny to wake him up, Chang Wei said: "The county commander is calm and don't be impatient, I'm not here to trouble you." ”

After appeasing the county order, he said that he was here to settle the war horse, and the county order came to life all of a sudden, and called the county's officials overnight to find a place for him to rest the horse.

At dawn, he prepared a banquet and led the gentry of the county to reward the volunteer battalion to exterminate the thieves.

Bai Zitong said enviously: "It's so good to be an official......"

On the evening of the third day, Chang Ping and Huang Chongwu's reserve men arrived together, and although only 2,000 flintlock muskets were driven out of the gun shop, Huang Chongwu brought out all the personnel of the Volunteer Battalion.

"Sooner or later, the anti-justice battalion will go to war, and it is always good to bring them to see the brutal battlefield as soon as possible. Huang Chongwu said.

Fang Huan'er was led by Fang Huan'er on Changping's side, and he almost bloodlessly won a few sub-villages, and looted more than three million taels of silver.

Arrange for 300 soldiers without guns to escort the war horses back to Zhenjiang with the Sword Alliance and Shaolin monks. Then, a fleet of ten large ships and ten small boats sailed into Luoma Lake again, and sailed north to Weishan Lake.

To Chang Wei's surprise, Huikong actually wanted to go on an expedition with the army.

Chang Wei really didn't understand the sluggish little monk in front of him.

"Why?" (To be continued.) )
