Chapter 43: Lack of Man

The battlefield was cleaned quickly, but the loot was very limited. The lair was attacked in a hurry, and three vicious battles were fought along the way, and all that was left was a small amount of silver money and blades that he carried with him, and even the war horses were lost, and there were few intact horses.

However, wounded and killed horses were also able to be made into meat to supplement the cottage's meat supply. In addition, there is no shortage of salt in the cottage now, so the meat can be stored for a long time, and it can also alleviate the shortage of food.

The biggest harvest is the more than 200 captives. After a series of fierce battles, the remnants of the men who did not collect at night were all strong, these people were battle-hardened bandits, and they could be supplemented into the prisoner camp to do hard labor. If there is a good performance, it can also be added to the reserve to improve the combat effectiveness of the reserve.

Now a complete process of naturalizing captives has been formed in the cottage.

First, through the initial hard work, the anger of these bandits was polished, and then the previously naturalized captives were used as an example to manage them, give them some hope, and finally through continuous brainwashing and improved treatment to make them identify with the entire cottage.

Such a set of processes will take a long time, but to a certain extent, it can ensure that the heart of the entire cottage is in one place, avoiding some troubles.

What's more, the current cottages are indeed full of people.

The original construction of the cottage was not completed, and a large number of building materials were needed, which required the captives to collect. After a big battle, the gate of the cottage was also burned, and it needs to be rebuilt as soon as possible, which also requires manpower. The plan of copycat salt production is also not supported, and it also requires a large number of manpower. At the same time, outside the cottage, there is also a flag village, until their situation is clarified, Bailijian's personal guards will definitely not be able to move, and the eighty-person horse bandits need to be scattered out to loot, otherwise the cottage will soon be unable to open the pot. In addition, the team that needs to ensure that they go out to investigate, as well as the old and weak women and children in the cottage, but those who have a certain ability to work have been arranged to work.

Because Bailijian doesn't like to take care of things very much, Liu Jing is actually the big housekeeper of the entire cottage, and he is responsible for almost everything. But in the face of the manpower needed everywhere, Liu Jing really couldn't take care of it.

In order to alleviate the pressure on Liu Jing, Bai Lijian had to take a little time to make a plan for the personnel of the entire cottage, and try to make sure that everyone has something to do on the premise of ensuring the safety of the cottage.

First of all, it is the pro-guards who can't be moved, and the twenty good men led by Mangula are the backbone of the entire cottage defense, and they can't be moved unless they have to, so their task is to train.

Second, the eighty-man bandit team was divided into two teams, one to raid and the other to defend the fortress, which rotated at regular intervals to ensure that the cottage could be replenished and that there were enough men to deter the captives when it was not working.

Then, the reserve of a hundred people was the mobile force of the entire cottage, and they were responsible for both the construction of the cottage and the guarding of the captives. So they were divided into ten teams, five of which were to guard a team of fifty captives and watch over their labor. The other five teams are responsible for patrolling and guarding around the cottage.

Finally, there are the idle people in the cottage, they belong to the free people in the cottage, and the men can go out to hunt, or they can help build the cottage, or they can go to see the prisoners. As for the women, most of them were responsible for washing and sewing, and some of the able-bodied were assigned to make salt.

It is the children who are most valued by Bailijian. Most of the girls do chores with the women, while the boys all follow the bailijian, studying and training together. Most of the time, the training of these children is more difficult than that of the reserve team, but their food treatment is also the best in the whole cottage.

After some planning, the whole cottage began to operate in an orderly manner, and Liu Jing also gained a little free time, and even had time to teach some basic combat skills to the boy scouts of Bailijian.

Just when the construction of the cottage was in full swing, the latest news also came from the flag planting village. Because of his previous outstanding performance, Li Lingfeng has been promoted to the captain of the sentry team, and is specifically responsible for investigating the movements of the flag planting village.

"Childe, according to our investigation in the past few days, there is no action in the flag planting village at present, but has been huddled in the cottage to make defensive preparations. After the sneak attack on the night's nest before, there was a big battle with the night's nest, which has hurt their vitality, and it seems that some of the remnants of the night's nest are constantly harassing and attacking them recently, which makes them very headache, and they have no time to care. ”

"Li Lingfeng, you are a capable person, but sometimes you do things too casually. As a spy, I shouldn't hear anything like that from your mouth, because then the information you bring has an element of subjective speculation that is not the real information I need. I want hard facts, not speculative speculation, you know? ”

Although Bai Lijian's tone seemed to be very easy-going, Li Lingfeng's body trembled after hearing this. During this time, Li Lingfeng changed from an oppressed slave to the captain of the sentry team who was highly appreciated by Bailijian, which made Li Lingfeng become a little fluttery.

In the past few days, although Li Lingfeng has been working very hard to find out the information of the flag planting village, the entire flag planting village is in a defensive state, and it is indeed very difficult to get some useful information, so in order not to make himself appear incompetent, he involuntarily added some of his own conjectures.

"Subordinates know their mistakes!"

Looking at Li Lingfeng, who bowed his head and was silent, Bai Lijian asked, "Do you know what's wrong?" ”

Li Lingfeng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Although the subordinates have obtained some news, they have reported it to Gongzi before confirming it, and these news may mislead Gongzi, causing Gongzi to make wrong judgments and cause irreparable consequences. ”

After listening to this, Bai Lijian's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "Very good, you can think of this, which means that you are indeed using your brain to think about the problem." This time, I will not worry about you if you are a first-time offender, read more books when I have time, and if you don't understand, you can come to me or my teacher, I hope you will not live up to my expectations of you. ”

After Li Lingfeng listened, his heart trembled with excitement. Although he made a mistake this time, Li Lingfeng gained a lot. Being able to be personally taught by Bai Lijian and Liu Jing is an opportunity that only henchmen will have. Li Lingfeng's eyes seemed to be bright, and the whole person became relaxed.
