I’m The King Chapter 72: :Influence

The number of troops is not a problem. When he was in Liaoxi City, Lu Hong had already revealed his intention to recruit more people. This time, he solved the problem smoothly. In this season, for ordinary people, Being a soldier is not the best choice. There is a common saying among the people that a good man should not be a soldier. Especially in a border county like Fufeng, it is even more difficult to recruit soldiers. Come to be a soldier.

The newly recruited more than two hundred people have one advantage. Almost all of them have lost their families and have no worries. They are full of hatred for the Donghu people in their hearts. The Donghu tribe, fortunately, this tribe is not very powerful. With Gao Yuan’s current strength, if he were to face off against the powerful Donghu tribe, apart from death and defeat, Gao Yuan really didn’t know that there would be a second outcome .

Right now, Gao Yuan doesn’t have much money in his hands, and he can’t pay the soldiers’ pay, but there is no problem with taking care of the meals. However, I will go to Juliguan soon after the new year. This money still needs to be used to prepare some necessary things. I can’t use it casually. If I really have money in hand, I have to wait until Wu Kai’s place next year. However, according to the agreement, the dividends are paid on a quarterly basis, that is to say, Gao Yuan will not have any money left until at least three months later.

The 1,500 guan money has been handed over to Cao Tiancheng, and Gao Yuan didn’t bother to worry about it after explaining some necessary matters. Sun Xiao and Yan Haibo are responsible for the training of recruits. When a new round of busyness started in the barracks, Gao Yuan seemed to have nothing to do.

Now his thoughts have completely flown to the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Lu Hong and Mrs. Ye met to discuss his marriage with Ye Jinger.

“Bing Cao, it’s too extravagant to make such a weapon for everyone!” Looking at the sketch of the weapon that Gao Yuan took out, Cao Tiancheng said in shock: “For such a knife, we can completely make a weapon close to There are ten iron gun heads, put on the gun barrel, it is all a spear, it is completely unnecessary!”

“No, it’s necessary!” Gao Yuan shook his head and said, “If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his weapon. Come and see this spear!” Sun Xiao pulled out the saber from his waist, raised his hand, and with a squeak, he cut off the joint between the spearhead and the gun shaft.

“Vulnerable!” Gao Yuan threw away the broken spear in his hand, “We will go to Juliguan after the new year, and we are facing Donghu people, and they are unruly and vicious Donghu people, It can be judged that there must be conflicts at that time. Either we hide in Juliguan and watch them do whatever they want, or we have to fight with them. The Donghu people have two main weapons, one is bows and arrows, and the other is scimitars , Their scimitars are very sharp, Sun Xiao, we captured a few this time, have you tried it too?”

“Yes, Bing Cao!” Sun Xiao nodded.

“We can’t let the soldiers suffer from weapons.” Gao Yuan said: “Don’t be sorry for money, money can be earned back, if my soldiers lose their lives because of weak weapons, where can we get them back?” Come?”

Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng glanced at each other, and only Gao Yuan could say this, money is easy for some people, but for others, it is very difficult.

“Before we set off, I need all these weapons in place!” Gao Yuan said. “When our soldiers set off, in addition to a spear for each of us, we have to carry such a knife on my back .”

“Bing Cao, I have a question, is this knife too long? According to your mark, the blade of this knife is three feet long, but the handle is actually two feet long. It’s very inconvenient to draw a knife on your back!” Sun Xiao looked at the sketch in his hand.

“It’s great that you can think of this problem!” Gao Yuan nodded appreciatively, “This knife was not pulled out from the sheath, but from the side.” He drew a few strokes vigorously, “Use a tube of bamboo as the scabbard, slit on one side, and design such a mechanism at the edge of the scabbard, when the scabbard is drawn, the handle of the scabbard is pressed slightly outward, and the scabbard will come out of the scabbard.”

“What a delicate design, simple and practical!” Sun Xiao widened his eyes and shook his head again and again, “In this way, although our blade is longer, the speed of the blade will be faster. Why is the handle so long?”

“It’s easy to hold the knife with both hands!” Gao Yuan smiled, “The strength of one hand is always not as strong as that of two hands, isn’t it, Sun Xiao, with this knife, you only need to practice frontal two-hand chopping well. Chopping, backhand slashing and other moves are enough. Hurry up and do it, Sun Xiao, you and Yan Haibo need to hurry up, Chinese New Year is only a few days away, and we have to go to Juliguan on the fifth day of the lunar new year. When the time comes, I hope to see these recruits at least look a little bit.”

Both Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng stood up, “Understood.”

The two walked out side by side, Cao Tiancheng still whispered to Sun Xiao while walking: “This is too extravagant.”

Through the window lattice, Zheng Xiaoyang looked at the homeless men who were still naked a few days ago put on the new military uniforms issued by Gao Yuan, put on leggings, and stood on the school field. When he came, he had the mentality of wanting to see Gao Yuan’s jokes, but he didn’t expect that Gao Yuan would really accept these people.

It made his face look gloomy like a storm was coming.

For so many years, Fufeng County has maintained only 300 regular soldiers and divided them into three teams. With Fufeng’s financial resources, it can only support 300 soldiers, which is still insufficient on top of the salary of the soldiers. But now, after Gao Yuan recruited these people, there are 300 people under his command alone.

Where does the money come from? When Gao Yuan first joined the first team, maybe his family wealth allowed him to make some subsidies for a short time, but for a long time, he had to support more than a hundred people, and it was a support like Gao Yuan. I’m afraid that the wealth of Wan Guan’s family will be emptied.

Zheng Xiaoyang is very worried.

After living in Gaoyuan’s barracks during this period, he felt unprecedented pressure. He knew exactly what the situation of the first team was like before, but since Gao Yuan came, the first team has undergone earth-shaking changes , Comparing the soldiers under his command with those under his command, it really is heaven and earth, and the judgment is judged by superiors and inferiors. This is why he had no choice but to organize his soldiers to learn Gao Yuan’s appearance and start training after he moved into the barracks.

If this situation continues, Lu Hong has every reason to take him down. Especially when the Donghu people invaded a month ago, he fled in embarrassment and lost more than half of his troops. He captured and killed more than a dozen Donghu people, but he alone had quite a few, so the contrast is too great.

Seeing that Gao Yuan recruited these people without hesitation, and thinking about Gao Yuan’s background, Zheng Xiaoyang couldn’t help feeling worried. Maybe after Naha came back, he should have a good talk with him. If this situation doesn’t change, I’m afraid that in Fufeng County in the future, I and Naha will have to pack up and leave.

If Fufeng only allowed 300 soldiers, then no one would have to guess who Lu Hong would support, it was clear at a glance, and more importantly, Gao Yuan’s soldiers were indeed stronger than those under his command.

A sense of crisis that I have never experienced before keeps Zheng Xiaoyang awake at night.
