"Folks, now that the master and elder Mang are dead, the backbone of our Nansang Village is gone." Jiang Yugang first used a sad tone to explain to the villagers the grim situation in Nansang Village.

"But we have just made a concerted effort to kill the Luchuan soldiers who have been wantonly exploited in Nansangzhai for a long time and killed an unknown number of villagers, which must be said to be a good thing, although in this matter, what we all do is contrary to the decision of the young village master."

Hearing Jiang Yugang say this, many villagers showed a look of melancholy on their faces, clashing with the Luchuan soldiers, and even killing the Luchuan soldiers, what kind of revenge would the Luchuan soldiers provoke, and what would happen to themselves, and so on, they had seen such frightening things once, and Mangg Ge had constantly emphasized to them in the past few months.

At this moment, several voices in the crowd rang out: "Jiang Baihu's approach is right!" We shouldn't bow to the Luchuan soldiers, we should take up arms! ”

"Drive the Luchuan soldiers out of Nansang Village!"

"Afraid of what? The more we retreat, the more unscrupulous the Luchuan army becomes, and in the end, they still can't survive! ”

"yes......"

With a few of the villagers who were bribed to take the lead, others gradually became infected by this atmosphere and began to slowly join in. They endured it for too long, endured it to the point that they couldn't live, and endured it until they left their hometown, Jiang Yugang said what was in their hearts.

Chen Ziyu saw that the environment here was so warm, so he simply sent a few people to leave the open space in front of the bamboo building of the owner of the village, and went to all parts of the village to call the villagers who stayed at home, telling them that the Luchuan soldiers and the young master of the village in the village were killed, and now it is the hundred households of the Ming army that maintain the situation, and they want to announce important things in front of the bamboo building of the village owner.

More and more villagers came over, and Jiang Yugang also continued: "In fact, as everyone can see, blindly tolerating and indulging the misdeeds of the Luchuan soldiers, the people of our Nansang Village still can't save their lives, they have no property at home, and they can't afford to see a doctor; If there is no food at home, you can't survive; In the end, he fled to a distant place, or became a fish on the chopping board of countless thieves and robbers along the way, folks, can we give in to the Luchuan soldiers? ”

"Can't!"

"Can't!"

"Can't!"

The villagers' voices were stronger and stronger, and even Aouma, who had just bandaged his wounds, limped over with the help of his daughter, and after hearing Jiang Yu's words, he shouted almost with tears in his eyes: "Fight with Luchuan soldiers to the end!" ”

After seeing Auma coming, the villagers also made a way so that he could walk to Jiang Yugang's side. In the past, when all the people in Nansang Village died, the status of Awuma, who was strong and surviving, rose in the hearts of everyone.

"Aouma, everyone says that you are the number one warrior in Nansangzhai, I didn't know how powerful you were until today, until today I saw you being the first to swing a knife at the Luchuan soldiers," Jiang Yu said approvingly: "You are indeed worthy of this name." ”

Auma was not used to being publicly praised in front of so many people, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Jiang Yugang then asked, "So, according to what you see, how should we deal with the Luchuan army?" ”

"Fight them to the end!" Aumma's answer was decisive.

"Folks, I know you are worried, Nansangzhai has experienced defeat, and the Luchuan army is indeed outnumbered," Jiang Yu waved his hand: "I don't force everyone to live and die with those who are willing to fight - those who are willing to fight with the Luchuan soldiers, go home and get a knife." ”

"Children, old people and women who are unwilling to fight and who are not capable of fighting can follow the soldiers of our Ming army to the Ming army's Manggu Mountain camp, which is only a few miles away from Mengyang City, and if the situation is not good, they can flee to Mengyang at any time." Jiang Yu clapped his hands as he spoke, and a row of Ming soldiers wearing brand-new cloth armor and holding the new-style firecrackers made by the craftsmen of the Alchemy Academy under Lu Chong walked over.

The villagers were shocked by the military appearance and sophisticated armament of these Ming troops, and even Jiang Yugang himself was a little surprised. He did not train this batch of recruits himself, and because he actually had no experience in training troops before crossing, Jiang Yugang did not have too high expectations.

But the new officers, who had been selected by the soldiers, did show a good level of training, and although they did not do any actual drills, each of them reached a level of spirit that was far from being attainable before they arrived.

In this, the special situation of Manggu Mountain is inseparable from it - unlike other places, Manggu Mountain is the first line of frontal resistance to the attack of the Luchuan army, and no one here wants to fill their pockets from the military rations, because every more soldier who can fight, the hope of more of them to survive is a little greater.

In addition, with the previous victories against the Luchuan army, the range of activities of the Luchuan army has shrunk. Jiang Yugang took the intelligence department into the mountains and forests, obtained detailed information about various cottages, and also exterminated many dens of bandits in the mountains. In this way, the range of activities of the Ming army in Manggu Mountain was greatly increased, and they could go deeper and hunt farther than before, which was used to enrich the food of the soldiers.

It is also for this reason that the average nutritional level of the Ming army in Manggu Mountain can be regarded as the best in the Mengyang area. Even the commander's battalion may not be able to eat meat for every meal, and most of them are bacon and bacon, but on the Manggu Mountain, there is a continuous stream of mountain pigs and chickens, and most of them are the freshest hunts.

And the dozens of veterans on Manggu Mountain are also different from most of the other Ming troops, they are all the absolute elite of the guard, assigned to the most dangerous and critical places, and survived the most brutal battles, both the will to fight and the military quality, are far from being comparable to other Ming army units.

The requirements of the new officers for the recruits are pure: to develop strength in order to achieve maximum victory. There is no promotion and wealth, no indulgence and pleasure. Their only goal is victory, and as long as they win, then life, glory, happiness, everything is at their fingertips, otherwise, everything is in vain.

"Report to the hundred households, the first small banner of Manggu Mountain has been assembled, waiting for your order." A small flag led by him walked towards Jiang Yugang in a high-spirited manner and gave a modern military salute.

This modern military salute and modern military discourse are the embodiment of Jiang Yuran's personal interest.

For the original Ming Dynasty, the popular military salute was a half-bent salute, which was later known as "please be safe". In Jiang Yugang's view, this kind of military salute is obviously not as concise and powerful as the modern hand salute, so he instructed the two general flags to begin to vigorously promote it on Manggu Mountain. After two months, the soldiers' military salutes have also been decent.

The military discourse is purely due to Jiang Yu's own unaccustomed to listening to it, but it is also necessary to admit the fact that modern military discourse is more concise and practical, so it also introduced Manggu Mountain together with the military salute.

And the performance of this team of ten people in Xiaoqi suddenly reflected the difference between the Ming army and the Luchuan army, which had loose military aircraft and chaotic organization, and the scene was completely controlled by Jiang Yugang.
