"I see."

Li Yi nodded slightly.

In fact, he just said it casually, and as soon as Deng Shihu explained it, he understood.

However, the annual income of the White Horse Gang also surprised him slightly.

The annual income of 8,000 taels of silver, according to the sphere of influence divided by Qinglong Village to Heifeng Village, it is good to have a maximum income of 700 taels of silver in all aspects, which is almost 11 times more than that of Heifeng Village, and Heifeng Village needs to hand over 200 taels of silver, and the White Horse Gang only needs to hand over 1,000 taels of silver.

Calculated in this way, the income of the White Horse Village is more than ten times that of the Black Wind Village, no wonder, Li Dadao, the leader of the Heavenly Killing Gang, said that the income of the White Horse Gang is very rich even among the third-rate forces.

Eight thousand taels of silver is enough to feed thousands of ordinary people.

Under normal circumstances, thousands of ordinary people can only earn so much money in a year, while the White Horse Gang only has about four hundred people, which is almost ten times the income of ordinary people.

The green forest force is really a tempting profession, the larger the scale, the higher the income, that Qinglongzhai not only has its own territory, but also can collect two or three hundred green forest forces every year, I really don't know what the annual income is.

However, no matter how much you pay, how much you gain, the horse thieves of the White Horse Gang are different from ordinary people, and the consumption is also very large, just to feed a few hundred people and horses, there is not much left every year.

However, even if there is not much left, there are one or two thousand taels of silver, which is already a lot of money, which is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for a lifetime.

"The horses and weapons of the White Horse Gang are not ordinary, and this kind of horses and weapons are rare in the market, what is the way of the White Horse Gang?" After thinking about it, Li Yi asked.

"This ...... Don't hide it from the emperor, his subordinates served in the puppet army before, and they know some characters in the puppet dynasty, horses and weapons are purchased from them, and the price of these things is even cheaper than the market, provided that the White Horse Gang can't take out these horses and weapons and sell them! Deng Shihu hesitated for a moment and continued.

But his thoughts didn't turn around for a while, it turned out that this kind of thing belonged to the biggest secret of the White Horse Gang, even if Qinglongzhai asked people to come to ask, he wouldn't necessarily tell the other party, this was the way of the White Horse Gang.

However, his current situation is different, and there is nothing that he can't say to Li Yi, and he can't say it.

"You used to serve in the puppet army, and you still know the characters in the puppet dynasty?" Li Yi's eyes lit up.

He was worried that he didn't know much about the strength of the Great Shang Dynasty, and Li Ling was only a personal guard of a civilian official before, so he didn't know too much about the strength of the military.

It would be great if Deng Shihu knew.

Even if it's not all clear, you just need to know the strength of the nearby military.

"The subordinates originally served in the Yangzhou Cavalry Battalion, and the people they knew were not too high-ranking officials, but officials who managed the horse farm and equipment replacement."

Deng Shihu said.

"Do you know what the current strength of the puppet dynasty is?" Li Yi nodded slightly, and his expression returned to calm.

Hearing Li Yi's words, Deng Shihu seemed to think of something, and a sense of jealousy flashed in his expression.

"Very strong!"

After a moment, Deng Shihu said in a deep voice.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have thought about running away after Li Yi showed miracles.

It was precisely because he knew that the army of the Great Shang Dynasty was very strong, and he had a trace of doubt about Li Yi's opening up of a new dynasty.

It would be fine if Li Yi was really the prince of the Heavenly Court, but this matter was too mysterious, so he didn't dare to believe it all.

Without waiting for Li Yi to continue asking, Deng Shihu then spoke: "The puppet dynasty has a total of five elite soldiers, each with 200,000 people, the southern Zhennan army, sitting on the southern border; The Northern Army of the Northern Town, sitting on the northern border; The Western Army of the Western Town, sitting on the western border; The Eastern Army of Dongfang Town, sitting on the eastern border; The Chinese Shenwu Army sits in the center. ”

"These five armies, it is said that they practice every day, and every soldier is the elite of the elite, when I served in the Yangzhou Cavalry Battalion, I once saw a hundred people of the Shenwu Army, the most ordinary soldier, I dare not say that it is its opponent......"

Speaking of this, Deng Shihu took a deep breath.

There are a total of one million such soldiers in the Great Shang Dynasty!

What a horrible number?

How could ordinary forces dare to resist after knowing the strength of the army of the Great Shang Dynasty?

Li Yi's pupils also condensed slightly.

The strength of the Great Shang Dynasty is so strong?

He knew that Deng Shihu was identified as an intermediate horse thief by Goldfinger!

He knows very well how strong the mid-level figure is!

It's easy to beat an ordinary person out of ten or eight!

In the ordinary green forest forces, such a character can easily sit on the top spot!

Such a character would not dare to say that he was the opponent of an ordinary soldier of the Shenwu Army?

There were as many as one million soldiers in the Great Shang Dynasty?

"Are you sure that the hundred-person squad is just an ordinary squad of the Shenwu Army?" After a moment, Li Yi asked in a deep voice.

"I've asked people about it, and it's true."

Deng Shihu nodded.

"In addition to the five elite soldiers, the thirty-six states of the puppet dynasty, each with tens of thousands of state soldiers to suppress the world, add up to about 2.5 million troops, and the entire puppet dynasty is known as 3.5 million troops!"

Then, Deng Shihu continued.

"The ...... of the 3.5 million army"

Li Yi took a deep breath.

The strength of the army of the Great Shang Dynasty is really strong.

As far as he knew, in the past life, there were very few dynasties with such a powerful army.

No wonder, the lord Li Ling once followed said that the Great Shang Dynasty was in the middle of the day.

With such a powerful military force, a general force, who can stop it?

If you think about it carefully, what Deng Shihu said is not impossible.

According to the description on the golden finger, the intermediate characters generally need to be strictly studied and trained for five years, if the five elite soldiers have a good training method, even if they do not meet the standards described by the golden finger, it is not impossible to polish an intermediate character in seven or eight years.

A million mid-level people...... Even if some of them fall short of the mark......

"Are you sure that your strength is not necessarily the opponent of an ordinary creep in the Shenwu Army?" After thinking about it, he still felt a little exaggerated, Li Yi raised his head again, looked at Deng Shihu, and asked.

"This ......"

Deng Shihu hesitated.

"Let's talk about it carefully, if you fight with the ordinary soldiers of the Shenwu Army with your bare hands, which of you is strong and who is weak?" Li Yi said calmly.

"What the subordinates just said, in fact, with the original strength and senses of the subordinates, more than ten years have passed, and the strength of the subordinates is stronger than the original, if you fight with your bare hands, your subordinates may be able to beat the ordinary soldiers of the Shenwu Army, but an army is to look at the whole, and there are all kinds of equipment, the morale of the Shenwu Army is very strong, and the equipment is also very well-equipped, if the other party is fully armed, even now, I really dare not say that it is the opponent of the other party." Deng Shihu thought about it and said.
