At this time, everyone in the Jinfan Camp also learned the identities of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, and naturally also knew the news that Gan Ning defected to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was already famous, because Gan Ning joined Lu Bu, and his brothers in the Jinfan Battalion did not have a trace of disgust, but most of them were excited about this decision.

accidentally recruited Gan Ning, Lu Bu was also complacent, and he already felt that this trip was worth it.

"Xingba, why are you looking for the bad luck of these horse thieves? It shouldn't be just to eliminate harm for the people. ”

Lu Bu winked at Gan Ning and asked.

Gan Ning looked at Lu Bu, his expression was slightly hesitant, but he still spoke: "On the one hand, they really want to eliminate harm for the sake of the name, and on the other hand, they have also robbed a lot of wealth. We had planned to rob the goods, and the brothers would make a fortune. ”

After listening to Gan Ning's explanation, Lu Bu nodded.

Gan Ning's explanation is that there is no concealment in the slightest, Gan Ning's Jinfan Camp has always had the reputation of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

But in reality they themselves were not having a good time, and they took out most of their goods and gave them away.

In this world, no one has a hard time.

After most of the goods were distributed, their own lives became a problem, and they were not even much better than those poor people.

often lives a life with a meal but not a meal.

After hearing about the situation of this gang of horse thieves, Gan Ning wanted to seek some benefits for his brothers, which was naturally a normal thing.

The reason why he was a little hesitant at first was because of Gan Ning's self-esteem.

It's a bit of a loss of face to think that this kind of thing is said to be true.

There is another reason, they have now joined Lu Bu after all.

So normally, the proceeds of these battles, especially those in which Lu Bu is still involved, must be handed over to Lu Bu for the vast majority.

It is even possible that they will not get any benefits, which is also a common thing among other princes.

Although Gan Ning admired Lu Bu's bravery, after all, he had never been in contact with it before, and he didn't care about his share, he was really worried about his brothers.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the soldiers of the princes in various places had no food and salary.

Although there is a name for food, but after layers of exploitation, the soldiers can finally get their hands almost negligible.

Most of the soldiers' sources were obtained by military merit or plunder.

That's why Gan Ning has such worries.

Take Yuan Shu as an example, not only did he not pay his soldiers salaries, but he even set up a clever name to deduct it.

This is also one of the main reasons for the low morale and lack of combat effectiveness of the Runan Army in the later period of history, although it was large in number.

After a little thought, Lu Bu understood why Gan Ning hesitated.

He smiled and replied, "Xingba, the brothers are also fighting hard. I have heard that you will distribute most of your plunder to the poor people in the future. Is there such a thing? ”

Gan Ning raised his head and replied: "Back to the lord, this is indeed the case. We are all from poor backgrounds, and the lives of ordinary people are not good, so we naturally want to help them as much as possible. ”

Nodding, Lu Bu continued: "According to the past practice, how much profit will you share?" ”

"About seven to eighty percent." Gan Ning replied without thinking.

Lu Bu frowned.

Seeing this, Gan Ning hurriedly said: "It's not that we don't want to give more, it's really that the brothers also have to live......

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that. ”

"Then the lord ......," Gan Ning asked hesitantly.

"I mean you give too much and you keep too little."

Lu Bu Gan Ning found a clean place to sit down.

Seeing Gan Ning's somewhat puzzled and strange gaze, Lu Bu asked rhetorically.

"Xingba, why are you fighting?"

Gan Ning couldn't react for a while, and couldn't keep up with Lu Bu's thoughts.

"Why do you keep fighting?" Lu Bu patiently asked again.

Lowering his head and falling into deep thought with his eyes closed, Gan Ning had never thought about this question before.

Lu Bu didn't bother him either, and watched him quietly from the side.

After a while, Gan Ning slowly raised his head.

His eyes were full of confusion, and he looked at Lu Bu blankly.

"I, I don't know. I just felt that I wanted to do this, and when I saw the poor people around me being bullied by those bandits and even the officers and soldiers, I was extremely angry, and I couldn't help but want to kill them all. ”

Gan Ning said slowly.

As he spoke, the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated a lot.

Silently looking at the hands, the two broad palms were rough and powerful, and they were full of calluses, which were the marks left by the use of weapons for many years.

The hands slowly clenched into two powerful fists.

Gan Ning's eyes were no longer confused, he raised his head and looked at Lu Bu firmly.

"I want to fight for the common people in this world, and I want to give them a beautiful and happy peaceful world."

Lu Bu nodded, very satisfied with Gan Ning's answer.

An army without conviction will not be able to achieve victory, and this is the truth that he has long understood.

Gan Ning didn't have a strong belief before, but he never seriously thought about this issue.

That's why Lu Bu suddenly asked, and he felt confused.

After thinking about it, Gan Ning found his belief.

Not only will it be of great benefit to his own future, but it will also have a significant impact on the troops he will lead in the future.

Gan Ning smiled, a mouthful of sharp white teeth, and it looked a little scary.

"Thank you, my lord, your question has made me think through a lot."

While talking, Gan Ning prepared to bow down.

was grabbed by Lu Bu and couldn't get down anymore.

"It's all your own people, don't make these useless things." Lu Bu pretended to be slightly angry and said to Gan Ning.

After a pause, Lu Bu then spoke: "Now that you understand the meaning of your own battle. So now let me ask you, what should be the most important thing we need to do to achieve this goal? ”

"What needs to be done the most?" Gan Ning repeated.

"Development? Expand? Equip? Gan Ning said a few words one after another, but he denied them one by one.

After a while, he finally spoke: "Strength." ”

Then he added: "The most important thing to sweep the world and create a peaceful and prosperous world for the people of the world is that we must have absolute strength. ”

Gan Ning looked at Lu Bu confidently.

He thinks he's found the right answer.

Who knows, Lu Bu shook his head slightly.

Gan Ning was a little stunned, "Shouldn't it be strength?" If the strength is not enough, how can you conquer the world? ”

"Live!" Lu Bu did not answer Gan Ning's rhetorical question, but said three words word by word.

Hearing Lu Bu's answer, Gan Ning was like being struck by lightning.

The answer is so simple that nine out of ten people will ignore it.

But if you think about it, you can only survive and everything else is possible.

Let you be the first in the world in terms of force, let your wisdom be like a demon, even if you have millions of soldiers, but if you don't have lives, then all this is in vain.

When Lu Bu saw Gan Ning's expression, he naturally knew that Gan Ning had already figured it out.

"No matter what our goal is, we have to live before we can pursue what we want."

Lu Bu looked at Gan Ning, and at the same time at Zhao Yun.

This sentence was not only said to Gan Ning, but also to Zhao Yun.

Looking at the two of them, Lu Bu spoke again: "You are all my right-hand men, you have to remember one thing." ”

Both of them also cast their eyes on Lu Bu and listened carefully to his next words.

"No matter what the crisis is, you must ensure your own safety. I want you to live well. ”

The two looked at Lu Bu together and saw the sincere and determined gaze in his eyes.

Both of them were moved in their hearts.

Although he knew that Lu Bu said this, he was suspected of buying people's hearts.

But it is more about the importance and cherishing of themselves that can say such words.

Lu Bu did not let this emotion continue to ferment, and changed the topic immediately.

"So, Xingba, I said before that you left too little for yourself, and that's why."

Gan Ning was thoughtful when he heard this, and Zhao Yun next to him also seemed to understand a little.

Lu Bu continued: "Of course, we have our own ideas, but in the same way, the enemies we face also have their own beliefs. On the battlefield, faith cannot directly kill people, but an empty stomach and incomplete weapons and equipment can become the direct cause of death for our soldiers. ”

"So what the lord means is that we must take good care of our soldiers before we can realize our ideals." Zhao Yun replied by interjecting.

Lu Bu nodded and nodded approvingly to Zhao Yun.

Gan Ning finally fully understood Lu Bu's thoughts at this time.

Lu Bu then spoke: "That's it. I'll give you a number. In the future, when the troops go out on the expedition, you will get what you have captured. Twenty percent shall be surrendered, and the remaining eighty percent shall be owned by your troops. Among them, the non-commissioned officers accounted for at least fifty percent. As for the final thirty percent, it will be distributed by the generals who lead the army. ”

Lu Bu is used to the generous and bold temper of his subordinates, and Zhao Yun is used to it, and he doesn't feel anything.

But Gan Ning's eyes widened, looking at Lu Bu like a monster.

Gan Ning's appearance is already rough, and this expression looks even more hideous.

Lu Bu asked a little embarrassed, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

"Lord, lord, are you telling the truth?"

Gan Ning, who reacted, couldn't even speak coherently, and asked stumblingly.

He was very afraid that what Lu Bu said was just a joke.

It's no wonder Gan Ning is so excited.

In the other princes, although the materials captured by the troops were privately owned by the troops.

But in reality, a considerable part still has to be turned in.

Or even the vast majority, and then there will be princes to reward.

A distribution method similar to what Lu Bu said, not to mention unheard of, and even dare not imagine.

The most important thing is not the thirty percent that can be distributed by the leading generals, which are not valued by Gan Ning.

Lu Bu stipulated that fifty percent of the seized proceeds would be distributed to his soldiers.

This provision can be described as a first-of-its-kind.

Now in troubled times, the princes everywhere are frantically expanding their power and recruiting soldiers.

However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the fact that all places were in the midst of war.

The original conscription system simply could not meet the needs of the war.

On the one hand, there are conscripted soldiers, and if they want to be mobilized, they must have tiger charms, which is very inconvenient to use.

On the other hand, it is due to the high demand for soldiers.

Therefore, in addition to the original conscription system, the princes began to implement a new conscription system.

The source of this kind of recruitment system is much more complicated.

It is roughly divided into five conveniences: recruitment, compulsion, requisition, incorporation, and mercenary.

Recruitment, as the name suggests, has also appeared many times in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, recruiting local villagers.

Most of them were strong men recruited by the princes with their own financial resources or the wealth financed by others.

Coercion is mostly the compulsory conscription of local strong men after occupying a place.

Requisition is more similar to compulsion, but the object is different.

Inclusion is the formation of captured soldiers into their own troops.

In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao once incorporated the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou and established the Qingzhou Army.

In the middle of the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Shao's old department was disrupted and reorganized, which strengthened its strength.

As for the hiring, it is mostly the troops of ethnic minorities.

Both the barbarians of the south and the nomads of the north were employed by the princes of various places.

And the soldiers recruited under this recruitment system are for life.

Even if they are old and infirm and cannot go to the battlefield, they are the private property of each unit.

This is also the origin of why there was a Tuntian army.

It is precisely because of the conscription system that these lifelong soldiers are even hereditary.

Only then can there be a sufficient number of eliminated old and weak wounded soldiers as the main body of the Tuntian soldiers.

It is also under such background conditions that the tuntian system can be smoothly implemented.

On the one hand, it can allow these old and weak soldiers to exert their residual heat, and on the other hand, it can also ensure the combat effectiveness of the main battle troops.

This conscription system, recruited soldiers.

It can basically be regarded as the private soldiers of the princes, so the princes everywhere are also quite serious about their exploitation.

Not to mention the many additional rewards for them, even the food and salary will be deducted from time to time.

Therefore, after Lu Bu said that decision, it caused such a big reaction from Gan Ning.

Lu Bu, who is familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, is naturally very aware of these things.

He looked at Gan Ning and explained: "Soldiers, we are the foundation of our struggle to dominate the world. Now that the troubled times are in power, as long as there is a way to live, few people will make a living by licking blood from the knife. ”

Zhao Yun nodded silently, and Gan Ning unconsciously lowered his head.

As Lu Bu said, the vast majority of soldiers joined the army because the world had no way to farm with peace of mind.

"But on the other hand, if we can have enough food to feed the soldiers, they will have enough money to feed their families. So how could they not fight to the death on the battlefield? Baidu will read the latest chapter of "Lu Bujie's Literature of the Three Kingdoms" for free for the first time.
