After Wang Zezhi counted the population and materials in the coal mine, he was planning whether to set up a sub-camp here.

After all, there is not only coal but also iron, and with these furnaces, it is a great place to craft weapons.

"My lord, Bai Zhangtang is here."

"Oh? Let him come over. ”

Bai Zhangtang came to Wang Zezhi, first gave a salute, and then whispered to Wang Zezhi.

Bai Zhangtang was specially sent by Wang Zezhi to monitor Wang Er, and Wang Zezhi couldn't trust people like Wang Er at all.

After hearing this, Wang Zezhi looked serious, and immediately arranged for someone to unload the mule and horse pulling the heavy baggage.

The heavy mules and horses, together with the horses captured from the Chongguang Road, improvised a cavalry of five hundred men.

He ordered the cavalry to march haste and return to the camp with their horses as fast as possible.

As for the other sergeants, Wang Zezhi asked Li San and Qi Qi to lead them back to the camp with coal miners, craftsmen, and prisoners.

As he set out, the guerrilla camp shouted and killed.

"Kill! Kill them all. ”

"Kill all the men, and keep the women."

"Kill!"

The remnants of the elite of the Light Dao, plus the personnel recruited by Wang Er, have reached a thousand.

As soon as they arrived in Fangshan, they launched an assault on the guerrilla battalion that was under construction.

There was Wang Zezhi's arrangement in the guerrilla camp, and Bai Zhangtang sent people to send news to Yu Zhong.

So, they prepared early.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

"Hurry up, load, bow and arrow ready, check the three-eyed gun, shotgun."

Ma Fu constantly commanded the sergeants in the camp to attack the thieves.

The Furlong cannon on the camp fortifications kept putting in the sub-guns, igniting and firing, and putting in the sub-guns to ignite and fire.

But the charge of more than 1,000 people was still a bit large, and the Franco's cannon alone could not stop their charge.

Wang Er, the people of the Light Dao Belt finally rushed through the fire of the Franc machine gun, and they were greeted by hundreds of bows and arrows.

The rain of arrows rained down like clouds, one by one.

Before their men could touch the guerrilla battalion, half of their men fell.

Wang Er and Chong Guangdao glanced at each other, and both of them had the idea of retreating.

"They withdrew, they withdrew, they withdrew!"

"Stop shooting."

"There aren't many of them, let's chase them out, shall we?" Ah Niu wiped the knife in his hand, looked at the thieves who retreated in embarrassment, and wanted to go out of the camp to pursue.

"What do you think of Shan Staff Officer?" When Wang Zezhi left, he confessed and told them to ask more staff officers about everything.

"Poor Kou Mo chase, load the Franc cannon ammunition, check the three-eyed guns, bird guns, and be ready to shoot at any time." Shan Tongshan took a feather fan, looked up, and said earnestly.

"What the staff officer said was, reload the ammunition and check the firearms." Ma Fu ordered.

All the sergeants received the order and took action one after another.

"This Shanxi is too terrible, it's not a place we can stay, while we still have some manpower, let's go back to Shaanxi." He said with trembling lips as he looked at the remaining brothers.

Wang Er didn't respond to the Cultivation of Light Dao, he came to a high ground, looked at the well-defended guerrilla battalion, he sighed first, then calmed down his mind, and came to the Cultivation of Enlightenment again.

"We still have tens of thousands of troops to no avail." Wang Er said confidently.

"Where did the tens of thousands of troops come from?" Kind of light asked puzzled.

"As long as we go to northern Shaanxi, kill the corrupt officials there, open a warehouse and release grain, and vibrate the wall, some people follow, just like we did last year, besides, we still have a lot of old people, they didn't follow in Baishui and Chengcheng, and when the time comes, let's gather them again, I'm afraid it won't happen?" Wang Er said confidently.

"Yes, yes, listen to the eldest brother." Planting the light path was like grasping a life-saving straw, and nodded hurriedly. Lingdu eBook

The two agreed on the same opinion, and took the remnants of their brothers from Xingxian County across the Yellow River to Shenmu and returned to Shaanxi.

When Wang Zezhi hurried to the guerrilla camp, he only saw the corpses in front of the camp, and on the fortifications at the camp gate, Ma Fu and the soldiers guarding the camp were all focused on guarding there.

Wang Zezhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but fortunately the camp was fine.

Wang Zezhi returned to the camp and ordered people to count the battlefield.

Except for those who were bombarded by the Fran machine and couldn't make up their personal appearance, a total of 522 thieves were killed.

Some of them had arrows stuck in their bodies and were not dead for a while, and Wang Zezhi ordered someone to make up for them, ending their lives.

More than 300 complete guns, knives and bows were seized, and some silver was recovered from some thieves dressed in brocade.

No one was killed or wounded.

Under the suppression of long-range firepower, even if Wang Er, Chong Guangdao and others had bows and arrows, they were out of range.

"Well done, Ma Fu, Ah Niu, and Shan Staff Officer will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and the sergeants of each battalion will be rewarded with five taels of silver." Wang Zezhi was quite happy, waved his hand, and rewarded the sergeants guarding the camp.

Fortunately, the base camp was defended, otherwise Wang Zezhi would have suffered a big loss.

"Thank you, sir!"

Wang Zezhi ordered people to clean up the corpses on the battlefield, sat at the gate of the camp with a Lu Mi gun and a big horse golden knife, and waited for the follow-up team to come back.

After dark, a group of torches returned to the guerrilla camp.

After all the team returned to the camp, Wang Zezhi rewarded him with a big reward, but anyone with a head on his body got the silver promised by Wang Zezhi.

These sergeants who had exchanged for silver happily bit the silver ingots in their hands, and after confirming the authenticity, they proudly showed off one by one.

One of the most powerful sergeants, with six heads pinned to his waist, held up three ingots and twenty taels of silver at this moment, and showed them to all the sergeants.

"I've only got ten taels of silver, give me a touch."

"Hey, hey... Want to touch it? The sergeant took the silver back into his bosom and patted it, and continued: "You have to earn it yourself, hehe..."

"Stingy, what's the big deal, next time I'll cut him ten or eight thieves, what a mess."

"You still have heads, I'm too far behind, I don't have a head."

"Don't worry, wait until you go to war later, you cut two and make up for it."

"That's it, that's it."

"That's not perhaps, I think, he's just a coward, let alone ten or eight, he doesn't dare to cut one."

"What's the use of just playing lip service, let's ride a donkey and read the record book and see, hum."

"Yo..."

A group of sergeants gathered together to laugh and talk, laughing, Wang Zezhi looked at this group of people, had a whim, took pen and ink and began to write.

He divided the soldiers into twelve ranks, and whenever the sergeant won the first rank of the enemy, he was a first-class soldier, and he could get ten taels of silver and one stone of rice and grain.

If you get two heads, you can be a second-class soldier, and in addition to silver money and rice grain, you can also get one acre of fertile land.

If he can get six first ranks, he can be a third-class soldier, and in addition to the reward of a second-class soldier, he will also buy them a house in the county.

If you can get twelve heads, you can be a fourth-class soldier, and in addition to the reward of a third-class soldier, you can also marry a wife, and the money and food for the wife will be paid by the king...

And so on, the more you earn the first level, the more rewards you get.

Moreover, their merits can be passed on to their own children, and if the father dies in battle, the children of their family can inherit their merits.

If they already have a small family, one person will be meritorious, and the whole family will be happy.

He also divided the household registration in the battalion into A, B, and C, with the C class being a recruit who has no military merits, and with military merit, he can be a B-class household registration, and he can enjoy more benefits in the battalion, and his military merit is above grade 10 to enter the first-class household registration.

The level of household registration stipulates how much house and land each person can occupy, and the class C household registration has nothing but military salary, so they can only work hard to obtain military merits.

After doing this, Wang Zezhi found Liu Yang and instructed him to add a star and horizontal bars to the collar of his clothes to distinguish the rank of the sergeant.

In the future, the sergeants had to wear collars according to the rank of their military merits, and no one had any privileges in front of them.

Military merit will become a stable source of good life for the sergeants.
