After all, with the fierceness of these mountain people, if there is no conflict, if they want to bring these people out of the mountains without using strong means, it is really so easy, I am afraid that it will not be Zhou Heng's turn to do this.

Coupled with the military appearance he had just seen, Zhou Heng knew that Chen Datong was not lying, and he really fulfilled his entrustment meticulously.

patted Chen Datong on the shoulder, Zhou Heng said, "Brother Chen, you have really worked hard for the past six months. ”

Chen Datong's growth is extremely fast, a year ago he was just a guard, but now he is already a qualified middle-level officer, especially in the past six months instead of Zhou Heng in the army, it is even more rapid progress, if it is now handed over to Chen Datong's battalion to command, then Chen Datong can definitely be easily competent.

His eyes swept over several sentinels, and Zhou Heng could only feel the growth of these people from the reports of these sentinels.

It can be said that everyone present was single-handedly promoted by him from the micro-end, and I dare not say that all of them are die-hard, but their loyalty to him is almost above the passing line.

Originally, Zhou Heng was still a little worried that the sudden expansion of the army would lead to no one to use him, but now it seems that his luck is still good, but he didn't expect that his previous unconscious arrangement actually made Chen Datong get a great workout and grow up one by one.

There were almost ten sentinels present, who happened to be in charge of ten sentinels, with more than 1,000 people in the whole battalion, and now according to Wu Sangui's orders, Zhou Heng could expand the men and horses under his command into a standard, 5,000 men.

Zhou Heng only needed to directly promote ten sentry officers to battalion officers, which was exactly five hundred people in each battalion.

After affirming everyone, Zhou Heng took out Wu Sangui's letter of appointment to him and read it out.

At this moment, even Wang Tieniu, Sun Longsheng and others showed surprise, after all, Zhou Heng didn't even tell them about this matter, so everyone was shocked by Wu Sangui's appointment of Zhou Heng.

After all, in one year, he went from a garrison battalion officer to an independent deputy general, commanding 5,000 men, and such a speed of improvement was simply unheard of.

Fortunately, everyone was extremely loyal to Zhou Heng, and after reacting, the first thought was to sincerely rejoice for Zhou Heng's promotion again.

The more Zhou Heng is valued by Wu Sangui, then their subordinates who are attached to Zhou Heng will naturally be able to share the great benefits.

Sure enough, Zhou Heng put away the letter of appointment and looked at the people below with a smile: "Everyone, this time the prince is valued, we are going to expand into a standard, five thousand people, this official will have the right to appoint officers at all levels from the prince, and now I announce that all the sentinels have been promoted to battalion officers." ”

Zhou Heng's voice fell, and several sentry officers showed surprise on their faces, and bowed to Zhou Heng in unison and said, "My subordinates thank your lord, and swear to die to repay your kindness." ”

Raising his hand to signal everyone to get up, Zhou Heng said to Chen Datong again: "Brother Chen, I will wronged you to continue to be my deputy, and the official position is set as a general." ”

Chen Datong saluted solemnly and said: "If you take the order, you will help your lord to take care of the affairs of the army!"

Zhou Heng said to Wang Tieniu and Sun Longsheng again: "Sun Longsheng, Wang Tieniu, give you a month to expand the number of people in the personal guard team to three hundred." ”

Wang Tieniu patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Tie Niu will definitely choose well, and he will definitely build the pro-guard team into an invincible team." ”

His eyes swept over everyone, Zhou Heng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, things in the army will be arranged like this for the time being, tonight Lord Ben will be the east, everyone will not get drunk and have no home." ”

Zhou Heng invited, who would refuse, that night Zhou Heng set up a banquet in the largest restaurant in Jinning County, and invited dozens of officers and officers in the army, Zhou Heng cheated again through the storage space, crushing a group of people with that amazing amount of wine, which attracted a lot of reckless men to marvel and admire.

The banquet dispersed, and most of the officers were drunk, but fortunately, Zhou Heng had already prepared and arranged for the guards to send these people back to the barracks.

Next, Zhou Heng wants to sit in the military camp and start recruiting troops, fortunately, there are more than 100,000 people in Jinning County, otherwise it is really not so easy for Zhou Heng to recruit 5,000 people.

However, even so, there were 2,000 of them recruited from among the mountain people, and not all of them were against the government, and these mountain people had lived among the mountains and forests for many years, so it can be said that they were born with a strong character and excellent physical fitness, and they were definitely the best soldiers.

It took almost half a month for the 5,000 men and horses to finally recruit, and then naturally entered the recruit training stage.

Whether it is Chen Datong or those battalion officers in the army, they have experience in training recruits, so Zhou Heng doesn't need to bother with these things, he only needs to grasp the general direction, and the following things will be done by himself.

In this way, Zhou Heng had more time to cultivate, and he had to concentrate on cultivation, whether it was "Immortal Changchun Gong" or "King Kong Immortal Body Divine Skill", which had made great progress.

Because of the fact that several people joined forces to fight Aobai, and I don't know how, Wu Sangui seemed to value Zhou Heng's force, and he would summon Zhou Heng to Kunming City in almost ten days and half a month.

I don't know where Wu Sangui recruited people from the rivers and lakes, but the people in the land of Yungui have always been fierce, and there are also many people in the rivers and lakes.

Since Wu Sangui had already considered creating a rebellion against the Qing court in the future, Wu Sangui began to gather people in the rivers and lakes for his own use early.

However, the people in the rivers and lakes are originally disobedient to discipline, and most of them are unruly people, so if Wu Sangui wants to subdue these people in the rivers and lakes, he must have powerful warriors who can handle it.

Feng Xifan, who existed as the treasure of the Pingxi Palace, of course, could not go to the same group of people in the rivers and lakes to compete with him, so the guards of the Pingxi Palace's Mansion had something to do.

However, there are only a few people who can handle these guards, but these few people may be able to block most of the people in the rivers and lakes, but there are naturally powerful existences among those who are recruited.

So things are very simple, with Wu Yingxiong's fanning of the flames, Zhou Heng naturally fell into Wu Sangui's sight.

According to Wu Yingxiong's original intention, he wanted Zhou Heng to lose face in front of Wu Sangui, he didn't believe that Zhou Heng's strength was really so strong that he could fight against the powerhouses in the land of Yungui.

Originally, Feng Xifan should have stopped Wu Yingxiong's move, but he didn't know what Feng Xifan was thinking, so he didn't stop it, so Zhou Heng became the best candidate for Wu Sangui to deter those good players in the rivers and lakes.

Originally, Zhou Heng was not interested, but after a few fights, Zhou Heng found that he was able to gain a lot of insights from these good players from all walks of life.

It can be said that no good player in the rivers and lakes can beat Zhou Heng, even if there are a few people whose strength can compete with Zhou Heng, but in the end, they can't fight Zhou Heng, and they can't hold on to it because they are consumed by Zhou Heng.

Gradually, Wu Sangui paid more and more attention to Zhou Heng, but Wu Yingxiong, who originally wanted to pit Zhou Heng, was unlucky.

Because the more outstanding Zhou Heng's performance, the more Wu Sangui used Zhou Heng's excellence to educate Wu Yingxiong.

In the face of Wu Sangui's education, even if Wu Yingxiong was depressed to death in his heart, he could only listen respectfully, and then looked at Zhou Heng who was standing on the side, Wu Yingxiong really had an urge to tear Zhou Heng apart.

On this day, Wu Sangui was taught a lesson again, Wu Yingxiong held his breath, returned to his residence, and closed the door with a crackling mess.

With a squeak, Feng Xifan walked into the room, and when he saw the situation in the room, his face looked very calm, and he didn't show any surprise, but said with a little smile: "What's wrong with the son? Who is so bold as to dare to upset the son!"
