However, the good times were short-lived. One thing is for sure, raiding everywhere will not last. Especially Wang Fei and others are still bandits, they don't have their own territory at all, and they don't even have a place to rest. No matter how ugly it is, the activities are all in the countryside, and there is no place to even find a place for material exchange, and it is impossible to even sell stolen goods. And sooner or later the food will be found, so this group of people will follow him to be full and hungry, and slowly, they will be completely reduced to starvation.

There is another issue that is also quite important. This Wuthering Mountains Forest is quite majestic when it comes up, but how can I say it, this is also a violation of the king's law? Wang Fei: They didn't think about rebelling. The government also ignored this group of people for the time being. The main thing is that in this year of famine, there are simply too many such things, and it is good to be able to maintain the law and order of the town and the main roads. I can't control the wilderness.

But sooner or later, there will be a day when order will be restored, and sooner or later the will be settled. Will it be time to face the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers? Trade your own head for a bounty? And everything you do now, just to die for the sake of addiction? Especially now that Wang Fei himself can't hold it anymore, he can't solve the problem of eating for his hundreds of people at all.

Knowing this, Qin Bai understood Wang Fei's difficulties. But it's clear and clear, but it's useless for this person to find himself?

An irrelevant group of people, even if they are willing to help, the other leaders of Yongsheng will never agree, that is to use Yongsheng's public account! As for "violating the king's law"? Then I can only wish Wang Fei and their blessings from heaven. You don't necessarily have to go directly to the government yourself, just to protect this group of inexplicable people, right? That's pretty much the same as a flag-to-flag rebellion. It's a good birthday, but who has the spare time to talk nonsense?

With doubts, Qin Bai asked: "Brother Wang, what difficulties do you really have here, if you want us to win the rivers and lakes to save the emergency, we can still give a few hundred catties of food." But ...... I listen to you? Seem......? ”

Wang Fei seemed to have let go, and his attitude was calm: "Second Brother Bai, my brother is thinking like this. I have brought our brethren with you, and you have overcome valiantly. You just give me the top spot, I don't care about the ranking. In the future, the court will recruit peace, and there will be a future for a wife and a cute child, and my brother will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. ”

"Ahem." Qin Bai felt that his brain was a little messy, "The imperial court recruits An? Seal your wife and cute child? You should go to those officials, right? ”

And Wang Fei's attitude seems to be taken for granted: "We don't know the officials, and I'm even more afraid that they will go back on their word and lose their heads for no reason." Aren't you brave to win from Jingjiazhuang? It is the holy land of Qilu Jianghu heroes. You must be doing the right thing for heaven, and the heroes are all gathered in the Juyi Hall. Drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in a big piece, you are the brother of Gongming who is anxious for justice and righteousness, and we are coming, shouldn't you raise your hands to welcome us? ”

"Wait." Qin Bai was completely confused. What does this bastard think of himself? You won't be poisoned by "Water Margin", right? "Brother Wang, we have never thought of fighting against the government? We are all good citizens who work hard to earn wages, and getting together is to ask for a huddle for warmth! ”

"Second Brother Bai, I don't like to hear what you say. Those men of yours are more like a battalion of soldiers. You can be called the master in Jingjiazhuang again, maybe you don't have any ideas? So be it! My Wang Fei is most loyal and righteous, since I have decided to worship you as a big brother today, you will call you in the water and fire in the future. If you accept Zhao'an in the future, then I will follow you to be prosperous and rich. If you want to do something else, I promise to do my best for you. ”

The military system of the Ming Dynasty was relatively chaotic. Military households generally know that in peacetime, each household sends a soldier. This is basically in the nature of a reserve. However, in peacetime, there is no need to maintain so many troops, so each guard post has a standing army of several hundred people, who serve in turns, which is called battalion soldiers.

The battalion soldiers did not provide all the food and salary, because they themselves were from military households, and the acres of land allocated to the army had a certain output. But it's not that they bring their own dry food to serve, there is still a certain amount of subsidies, mainly from the local government, to put it simply, these people can be regarded as half-paid, that is, conscripts who get allowances!

However, generally speaking, the battalion soldiers will be divided into two kinds, one is the family members around the officers of the guard, and the food and salary given by the imperial court are basically obtained by these family members, so in fact, they have become fully paid professional soldiers. The other is the conscripts and military households, they have no food at all, they can have something to eat, and they don't starve to death. Of course, these people have received long-term military training, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

In short, the family is like a grassroots officer in the army, and the conscripts are the big soldiers. However, the oppression of those big-headed soldiers is quite ruthless, and even many inexplicable unspoken rules have been formed. For example, don't eat at noon. This is completely different from the monks' "no food after noon", that is, if the army arrives after noon, the imperial court and the local government will not provide food and grass for the day.

In the past history, it was in the late Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period, the Jurchens in Liaodong entered the customs and looted, and 8,000 soldiers and horses in Shaanxi rushed to the capital to escort King Qin. In order to save the supply of grain and grass, the officials of the imperial court actually gave three orders in three days, transferred three places, and calculated that all of them would arrive after noon, so wouldn't they save three days of food?

Really creative, these officials must be little experts in thrift. However, the soldier has not eaten for three days, how do you think he will react? Of course, it was a big uproar, and most of the routs went to Brother Chuangwang. And these routs became the earliest core of the old eighth team of Chuang Wang. Therefore, it still has a lot of combat effectiveness.

However, Shaanxi belongs to the nine sides, and the battalions there can still maintain combat effectiveness, and the interior will be peaceful for a long time, so it will be a mess. So, like the Qi family's army, he began to recruit soldiers, that is, professional soldiers who received all their salaries. And the combat effectiveness of these conscripts is the most guaranteed.

To use an analogy that may not be appropriate. Military households are reserve militias, battalions are local main forces, and conscription is the most elite first-class main force.

In a small place like the Jiaodong Peninsula, it is generally not seen that there is no recruitment, and the main force has always been the battalion. And in this Wang Fei's evaluation, the guards who won bravely had already surpassed the local battalion soldiers. It's no wonder he's cranky. If you don't have ambition, where do you need so many elite soldiers?

Qin Bai was also shocked, and there seemed to be some negligence here. If someone really sues the government, those officials will definitely believe what they have rather than what they don't, right?
