Chapter 193: Acceptance
The reason for Bi Shi's relaxation was very simple, he knew that if it wasn't for Zhao Hu's timely action this time, the Black Wind Army might not have a good end.
Since the establishment of the Black Wind Army, although their name sounds very imposing, in fact, the people of the Black Wind Army know that they actually live a very hard life in the mountains, often lack food and clothing, and have no stable life.
The reason why the Black Wind Army is in this situation is that the environment determines that the Xilin City City Guards entered the village to rob the villagers of food, causing them to survive by digging wild vegetables and hunting in the mountains, but it is also equivalent to having no fixed food;
The second is forced by the situation, most of the time, it is safe for the Black Wind Army to hide in the mountains, but the conditions in the mountains are poor, and when the food is really insufficient, the people of the Black Wind Army have to return to the villages below the mountain to rob the city guards of the food, but this will attract the pursuit and encirclement of the city guards;
The third is caused by personal vendettas, even if it is not forced by life, but the fact that the city guards slaughtered the village always exists, and the Black Wind Army wants to take revenge on Aotianxing and take revenge for the blood of their father and fellow villagers, which also determines that they cannot hide in the mountains and forests forever and live in peace.
These three factors determine the embarrassing situation of the Black Wind Army, which is not only short of food and clothing, but also intolerant of the world. Let's ask, is there a ruling class of any country in the Firmament Continent, who can have such a big belly, accept the existence of such a rebel army who is always thinking of taking revenge on them and challenging their authority? Even if the Black Wind Army wants to surrender, they don't believe it. Sadly, there are still some people in the Black Wind Army, who want to take revenge and accept the invitation of the king of Dongli.
Bi Shi felt very hard, especially after experiencing this fierce battle with the cavalry of the city guards, he was even more in pain. The defeat of the Black Wind Army. made Bi Shi lose the confidence to confront Xilin City's Aotianxing.
To protect the remaining brethren. Bi Shishi naturally hoped in his heart that he could take refuge in a powerful army. At first, he was suspicious of the Xinghua Merchant Group. I am not convinced that the Xinghua business group is strong enough. Now, knowing that Mu En and Zhao Jin are behind a country, they naturally think that their strength should be very strong, and they feel relieved that they can hand over themselves and their brothers to Mu En.
Because Bi Shi was born in poverty, he had never studied. He is not a landlord class, so he does not know the distinction between home and country, and he does not have the consciousness of protecting the land. In Bi Shi, everything is valuable, a very intuitive idea. As long as whoever gives a bite to eat, he is willing to listen to whomever he wants to say, and who he is willing to serve.
Therefore, as soon as Bi Shi heard that Mu Ende was recruited, he was already moved.
"On behalf of Xinghuaguo, I welcome you to join!" Mu En said, standing up. "From now on, you are a member of Xinghua Kingdom. I appoint you as the temporary acting captain of the second escort team of the Xinghua Merchant Regiment. For the official appointment, I will report to the Hing Hwa Chamber of Commerce, and I will only wait for the Prime Minister to issue your Hing Hwa National Certificate. ”
"Captain?!" Bi Shishi was immediately flattered when he heard this, he never expected that he could get such a high job arrangement, he thought that it was enough to have the stability of three meals and one night, and revenge, because the brothers had died a lot, and the right to think about it in the long run. But now it can be reused, which is naturally a great surprise for Bi Shi. Not only that, but he was also the prime minister of a country, signing his identity certificate, so that he couldn't help but be a little frightened, and said, "How can I be virtuous!"
Mu En smiled: "As long as you can be loyal to Xinghua Kingdom, it is the best respect for our king." Your first mission is to reorganize the Black Wind Army and make it quickly become the second escort force of the Xinghua Merchant Circle. ”
Bi Shishi's heart was so excited that he immediately knelt down and replied, "Thank you, Lord for your grace in rebuilding!"
Mu En stepped forward, held Bi Shi, and said: "We don't have the rule of kneeling in Xinghua Kingdom, we just kneel to the sky and kneel to our parents. ”
Bi Shi stood up, thought about it, and said with a difficult face: "I'm afraid it's not so easy to reorganize the Black Wind Army, this time I fought against the city guards, so many brothers were killed and wounded, and I was so defeated, I'm afraid that some brothers may not be willing to obey me anymore." He was referring to those who still had expectations for the king of Dongli.
"Regarding this, you don't have to worry, Zhao Jin will assist you from the side. Mu En said indifferently, he was determined to use force to help Bi Shi rectify the Black Wind Army. Then, Mu En paused slightly, because he saw that there were still a few skin injuries on Bi Shishi's body that had not been treated, thinking that he had just come down from the battlefield, and he hadn't taken care of these yet, so he continued, "You go to heal your injuries first and change into clean clothes." ”
Hearing this, Bi Shishi nodded, and under the leadership of the personnel of Xinghua Manor, he went down to apply the medicine.
Then, Mu En turned his head and told Zhao Jin about their situation with a serious face: "The Black Wind Army has suffered a fiasco, even if it is reorganized, it will not be able to form combat effectiveness for a while. But after this fierce battle, the official government of Xilin City will not give up, so next, it is time for us to have a hard fight with Xilin City. We must quickly reorganize the army, and the armament of Xinghua Manor, and the strength of your salt protection team, must be integrated in the shortest possible time. ”
Zhao Jin said sincerely: "Commander, your position is the highest, you make a decision, I listen to you!" Zhao Jin has no idea of taking power, the wealth and power he has now are all given to him by Xinghuaguo, and at the same time, Zhao Jin also knows very well that once he leaves the protection of Xinghuaguo, everything in front of him will come to naught, so he will never have two hearts about Xinghuaguo, and will only do things peacefully.
Mu En nodded, he was satisfied with Zhao Jin's reaction. Mu En hopes that Zhao Jin and other people from Huangling Village can completely integrate into Xinghua Kingdom. Xinghua definitely does not need the kind of people who do not hesitate to harm the interests of the country for their own selfish interests.
Subsequently, Mu En continued: "After the rectification, it will be merged into the Xinghua Merchant Corps. Moreover, I will send a letter back informing us of our difficult situation, and asking for the support of officers and troops from home to help us deal with the city guards in Xilin City. ”
Zhao Jin nodded in agreement and said, "I heard Zhao Hu say that the cavalry of the city guard army is very strong. This time they were unprepared, and we relied on surprise attacks to win, but if they make a comeback, it is unknown whether we will be able to match them. Therefore, it is better to have some support in Japan. ”
"Not only that, after Xilin City learns all this, sooner or later it will investigate who spoiled their good deeds, so while we are resting, we must also be ready to evacuate at any time, and we must also guard against the enemy's sneak attack. Muen added.
After a pause, Mu En suddenly thought of another very important question: "By the way, you can find another secret place in the mountains and transport two-thirds of the grain in the manor to hide it." ”
Zhao Jin smiled and replied: "I happen to know a place that is very suitable for storing grain." ”
"Well, that's up to you. Keep it private and try not to let too many people know. Mu En said. (To be continued......)
