It's just that the seed master Dao's face is a little unsightly, and in the face of the crying of Liu Wenhan and others, he doesn't know how to answer.

In his opinion, it is better to recruit the thieves, and the imperial court is about to go north to wage war against the Liao State, where is there still the energy to mobilize a large army to exterminate this group of thieves.

Besides, this group of thieves can't be regarded as a rebellion strictly speaking, they have not captured the city, and they have not claimed the emperor to establish the country, and at first glance they look like they are looking forward to the imperial court recruiting peace.

It's really not worth it to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress them!

"Dashuai!"

Suddenly, Ding Kangyan interjected.

"Yasuhiko, what do you think about this?"

"Marshal, according to the subordinates, let's recruit An, the imperial court is going to mobilize a large army to the north, and the grain and grass materials are very tight, and I can't come up to collect the grain and grass for the traitor."

Ding Kangyan said that his heart was a little empty, for fear that his selfishness would be seen by the famous general of the seed master.

The planter listened to what Ding Kangyan said politely, so he nodded and said on the donkey down the slope.

"What Kang Yan said is very true, the imperial court really can't send out a large army to recruit and suppress that thief, and it is enough to recruit peace."

"When I personally lead the army north next year, I will take them and let them explore the way for the army!"

The seed master said with his beard in his beard, and as he spoke, he decided the fate of Chen Yan and the others, and they would be used as cannon fodder for the army!

"Send someone to meet the leader of the thieves, let him make conditions, the court wants to recruit him, and leave this matter to Kang Yan to do."

Seed Master Dao looked at Ding Kangyan and said.

"Yes, the humble post will live up to the trust of the marshal!"

Ding Kangyan knelt down on one knee and knelt in front of the Seed Master Dao and said.

He quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that his brother's life was saved!

……

The thirtieth month of the third year of Xuanhe!

The entire territory of Anping County became jubilant, and Chen Yan spent money to buy a large amount of wine, meat and grain, preparing to celebrate the Spring Festival with the entire Dang Capture Army.

The military camp outside Anping City was very lively at this time, but it did not seem chaotic.

The tents were stationed very neatly, and they looked like they were all in a row.

The personnel walk in a row of two people, three people in a row, and the discipline is like that!

It's like a strong military posture!

Although the military skills training is insufficient, the Dangling Army already has the most basic qualities of a strong army, that is, discipline and obedience!

During this period of time, the Dang Capture Army has been constantly recruiting new recruits and expanding its scale, and so far, it has a scale of nearly 700 people.

Compared to a month ago, the scale has more than doubled!

And with a period of exploration, Chen Yan has fine-tuned and improved the training regulations according to the actual situation, and it is no longer a rigid training in accordance with the "New Book of Discipline and Efficiency".

After all, the times are different, and although the "New Book of Ji Xiao" is excellent, it may not be able to adapt to the war during the Song Dynasty!

Chen Yan was dressed plainly, carrying a bowl and mingling with many ordinary soldiers, everyone ate and drank together, and the relationship became a lot closer.

In addition, Chen Yan was personally present during the salary, training, and distribution of various benefits, and his position in the army has gradually become unshakable.

Although the old men of Erfeng Mountain, such as Zhao Qian, Wen Haisheng, Zhang Sanhu and others, still have a certain amount of real power, their power is completely incomparable to Chen Yan.

The broth is full of aroma and salt, and the pieces of fat in the broth look crystal clear, and when you bite into it, the fat and greasy fat explodes in your mouth.

This feeling made the ordinary soldiers of the Dang Army, who were accustomed to suffering, look at Chen Yan with more and more reverence.

For this Chinese New Year, Chen Yan personally took the soldiers to make dumplings, and the broth was just this meat-filled dumpling, so that all the soldiers couldn't wait to swallow their tongues.

The thick smell of meat wafted in the direction of Anping City, and the soldiers on duty on the city wall sniffed desperately.

"Wow, it smells so good, what's that smell?"

"It's meaty, I ate meat once three years ago, tsk, I can't forget that taste in my life."

"Anyway, what are those thieves doing, why are they so fragrant?"

"It's not meat, is it?"

Someone muttered to himself in disbelief.

"Impossible, at most, it is those leaders who eat meat, to smell the meat for the people below, since ancient times, every time I have heard of a general who is willing to eat meat below."

"Besides, there are so many people, if they all eat meat, where is the thief so much money."

“……”

Although many soldiers said so, their eyes were still full of envy when they looked at the camp of the Dang Capture Army outside the city.

Especially when they lowered their heads and saw the cold and hard nest head in their hands, this feeling became more and more intense.

……

Outside the city, the soldiers and soldiers of the prisoners had finished eating, and their bellies were round, and Chen Yan specially spent money to "invite" the troupe from Guang'an County next door to the stage.

Accompanied by the noise of gongs and drums, the troupe babbled and sang.

Although there was already opera at this time, it was far from developing to the point of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and many things were still relatively primitive.

The lyrics were given by Chen Yan, and it was the classic "White-Haired Girl" that Chen Yan copied from his memory.

Although some details have been slightly changed by him to be more in line with the characteristics of this era, the purpose remains the same.

is still accusing the squire of bullies running rampant in the countryside and oppressing the good people!

Looking at the miserable white-haired girl on the high platform, many soldiers of the captive army felt a strong sense of involvement, because they were all former "white-haired girls".

These soldiers were oppressed and couldn't survive anymore, so they joined the Dang Army, and this repertoire awakened their deep memories.

gradually coincided with Xi'er in the white-haired girl, and the hatred for the landlord and squire became stronger and stronger.

Especially some small details of Chen Yangai, such as the fact that the imperial court is on the side of the landlords and gentry, helping to oppress the people.

and the final ending, the Dang Capture Army appeared to save Xi'er's family, and Xi'er also married a Dang Prisoner Sergeant!

It makes these captive soldiers feel a strong sense of substitution, isn't it because of the captive army that they got out of the sea of suffering and lived the current life!

As a soldier, not only did he eat enough, but he also had meat to eat at two ends for three days, and he was paid a lot of silver, and he also gave his family a lot of land, and his family was getting better and better.

They became more and more loyal to Chen Yan!

Hu Poyu clenched his fists, looked at Chen Yan in the crowd with great reverence, and secretly swore in his heart that he would be loyal to the Governor of the Metropolitan until he died

In the army, those who think like Hu Poyu occupy an absolute part!

Feeling the reverent gaze stolen from all around, Chen Yan was a little relieved in his heart, he knew that the foundation of an iron-blooded strong army had appeared!

Faith, loyalty, discipline!

As long as there are these three points, then this army is a real iron-blooded army, the kind that can withstand the super high mortality rate and still persist in fighting!

As for other aspects, they can be trained slowly, as long as there are these three points, an army is not far from an iron-blooded strong army!
