Chen Jisheng's explanation completely explained the situation of most of the imperial army very clearly. Hong Chengchou obviously agreed with what Chen Jisheng said, and did not show any excesses.

Mao Wenlong fell into deep thought, and the hall instantly became quite quiet, except for the slight breathing of the three people.

After a long time, Mao Wenlong broke the silence, and he opened his mouth to ask Chen Jisheng: "According to what you said, it is the treatment of newly recruited soldiers and horses, and there is no need to improve it to the same as the current Dongjiang Army, right?" ”

Chen Jisheng laughed cruelly: "Chief soldier, as long as the steamed bun is fine, a soldier has a steamed bun for every meal, and this time there is no need for them to bring any family members." We can completely open the conditions in a harsh direction, as long as we can keep them alive, it is the greatest gift. And if these people want to live a better life, then they must be exchanged for war exploits. All we need to do is give them a fair chance to get to the top. ”

Mao Wenlong's eyes lit up when he heard it, according to what Chen Jisheng said, it is completely easy for him to expand his army at present. Moreover, Chen Jisheng's method can motivate those recruits to a great extent.

Without a doubt, it's a great way to get the best of both worlds!

However, Hong Chengchou shouted coldly: "Nonsense, what is the difference between you and those court officers who drink blood and are corrupt." ”

Mao Wenlong was drunk by this, and suddenly came to his senses. Indeed, if he did so, it would be difficult for him to cross this hurdle on his conscience.

This time, Chen Jisheng suddenly became stronger, he looked directly at Hong Chengchou and said coldly: "The difference is big." At least we guarantee that the newly recruited soldiers can survive with food and clothing, and those officers of the imperial court, you go and see if they have any hope for those ordinary soldiers to survive. ”

Chen Jisheng's voice was sonorous and powerful, and he was obviously very unconvinced by Hong Chengchou's words.

Hong Chengchou also kicked his eyes and said viciously: "The old man just doesn't believe that the officers of the imperial court are as unbearable as you say, if they are all as you say, why are the rebels so suppressed that they can't raise their heads." Recently, even the king of Chuang has been killed, and Houjin's peep is still blocked by the imperial army. ”

Seeing that the more the two of them talked, the more angry they became, they just rolled up their sleeves and went up to fight. Mao Wenlong had to stand up as a peacemaker at this time, but he was biased towards Chen Jisheng's methods.

Although he will be a little reluctant to do so, compared with the future plans and vital interests, those are obviously not enough to shake Mao Wenlong's decision.

What's more, Mao Wenlong felt that if he wanted to save the world and save the people who were suffering on the land of the Central Plains, the only way to do so was to occupy the land of the Central Plains as soon as possible. Then he will be able to rebuild his ideal kingdom from the ruins.

"Okay, don't argue with the two of you, whether the matter is what Jisheng said, we can follow him, and when the time comes, seeing is believing, and the truth and falsehood will be clear at a glance." Mao Wenlong squinted at the two of them and made a conclusion directly.

"The subordinates are willing to use the head guarantee of the item, and what I just said is absolutely not a lie." Chen Jisheng swore a curse.

"Okay, according to the words of the chief soldier, the old man wants to see if this world is really as you said, it has become so unbearable." Hong Chengchou did not hesitate, and after he got up, he also made his position clear.

Both sides had no opinions, and Mao Wenlong made a decision on the spot and decided the matter. Then he asked Chen Jisheng to go down immediately to prepare, and set off immediately when he was ready.

The recruitment of troops first began in the territory of Henan, and after Mao Wenlong occupied Henan, it spread to Shaanxi, Sichuan, Shanxi and other places. But these are things for the future, and the most important thing at present is to try it out in Henan, if Chen Jisheng's method is really feasible, it will be easy to do in the future.

It's not difficult to make steamed buns, and this time it's just a try, so you don't need to make so much. Mao Wenlong only ordered to get 10,000 steamed buns, which were made in half a day, loaded three carriages, and the three of them set off immediately with 100 personal soldiers and guards that night.

I hurried overnight, and three days later arrived at Guide Mansion, which had been occupied by Liu Guangzuo and Chengzuo. The two learned that Mao Wenlong had suddenly arrived, and they waited outside the city gate early to greet them.

Guarded by 20,000 Dongjiang troops from Defu, the security was guaranteed, and in just one month, the city had returned to normal and everything was in order.

Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou watched while walking, and they were very satisfied with the situation in the city, and they also appreciated Liu Guangzuo and Chengzuo very much. Mao Wenlong's few words of praise directly praised Liu Guangzuo and Chengzuo.

Chen Jisheng went up directly and gave a punch, and when the two were confused, Chen Jisheng said to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, these two guys haven't done anything at all, and the peace in front of them has nothing to do with the two of them." ”

Liu Guangzuo and Cheng Zuo were suddenly anxious, and frequently gave Chen Jisheng a look begging for mercy, however, Chen Jisheng was obviously determined to expose these two guys. has always turned a blind eye to the eyes handed by the two.

Mao Wenlong looked at the three of them suspiciously, and then said lightly: "Let's hear it." ”

"Hey...... Chief soldier, don't listen to Brother Chen's nonsense......" Cheng Zuo immediately interjected.

However, he was glared at by Mao Wenlong's vicious eyes and swallowed the words back into his stomach.

The corners of Chen Jisheng's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and he said bluntly: "In fact, when the two of them arrived with the troops, the officers and soldiers in the city had already run out. And all the things that could be taken away in the city were looted by those officers and soldiers. ”

"The people have long held a grudge against those officers and soldiers for this, and after our Dongjiang Army entered the city, we only distributed some food to make the people live, and no one dared to come up to make trouble."

Mao Wenlong's eyes looked at the embarrassed two, and whispered, "Is this the case?" ”

Cheng Zuo's face was full of gloom, and he cast a resentful look at Chen Jisheng, and then replied to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, it is true that as Brother Chen said, we didn't do much, and the people in the city were able to eat and clothe without anyone making trouble." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded, and did not blame the two of them for being suspected of taking credit, but directly skipped the matter and did not mention it again.

The group soon arrived at the yamen in the city of Guide, and after Mao Wenlong had a general understanding of the situation in the city of Guide, he discussed with Chen Jisheng how to use steamed buns to recruit troops tomorrow.

Chen Jisheng was full of confidence, he sold Guan Ziyan and said: "Chief soldier, I have everything in my heart, tomorrow we will directly disguise ourselves as businessmen and go to a small town outside Kaifeng Mansion together, where there will be the recruits we need, and they will be picked." ”
