In the year 368 of the Great Zhou calendar, October 16.

"Thorn!" "Straighten your waist!" "Don't get distracted!"

On the open field of Wanjiazhuang, a team of 300 displaced people was practicing formation standing and stabbing techniques with spears in hand under the command of Liu Ce. The first three rows of homeless people are wearing leather armor inlaid with huge iron nails, holding a spear up to four meters in their hands, the spearhead is a three-sided flat cone, twelve centimeters long, there is a slender blood groove in the middle of the prism to keep the blade stable, weighing three or two up and down, made of fine iron seized from the thief place more than a month ago, the spear shaft is made of some hardwood such as oak or nanmu, the whole spear weighs about 3 kilograms, and the spear behind him is holding the same equipment, but the iron nails on the leather armor on the body are not as many as the first two rows of homeless people, However, due to the previous battle captured more than 200 sets of leather armor plus a lot of leather, after Feng Ying and Gao Laohan and others processing and manufacturing, as well as the ingenious women and children in the village sewing, the people inside and outside the village are also wearing armor, due to the food during this period of time greatly improved, plus three meals a day can be fed, everyone in the village has a bloody face, especially these trained homeless, the body is a lot stronger and stronger.

On the other side of the venue, Zhou Feng is teaching those children to read and write, he was originally Mr. Gaojiazhuang's private school, and he made a living by teaching and learning to the children of some large families in the village.

Originally, Zhou Feng wanted to join the team of homeless people to practice together to kill the thieves, but after two days of training, he knew that he was not the material, so Liu Ce arranged for him to do his old job, teaching the children, women and children in the village to read and write in the morning, and after the afternoon drill, teaching these homeless soldiers to read and write, including Feng Chou Nian.

Zhou Feng didn't have any opinions on this decision, but it hurt this group of homeless people who couldn't read a word. Others don't say it first, Feng Chou Nian and Yang Kaishan tried every possible way to avoid Zhou Feng, and even played children's tricks, and they were still alive in the morning, and when it came to the time of studying, they either had a headache or low back pain, and they were bitter, and when it was time to go out to "fight for food", it was a chance to fight for their lives, and even used force to threaten Sun Cheng and Chen Qing that they were not allowed to rob with themselves, which made people panic, but Liu Ce gave a death order, the homeless people must learn three words a day, and the veterans must have at least five words, and they will be assessed every ten days, I can't write it and get five strokes of the board.

Now Yang Kaishan and Feng Chounian and other homeless people who don't like to "study" have to be honest, they have rough skin and thick meat, and it is nothing to take a few strokes of the board, the problem is in front of the whole village, especially those girls who are beaten with bare buttocks, and they really can't afford to lose this face.

In the blacksmith shop in a corner of the manor, Gao Laohan and Feng Ying each opened a furnace, Feng Ying, with the help of several shirtless and sweaty craftsmen and many men in the village, kept beating the red iron that was burned in front of him, and the corners of the wall were piled up with dozens of spearheads that were shaped according to Liu Ce's requirements.

Outside the blacksmith shop, some carpenters put the finished gun shafts neatly on the wall, and set up a bonfire in the middle. On the other side, several streamers wrap the dried gun barrel in a ring with this world's unique sandpaper, or rub it back and forth up and down or by rotating the gun barrel to make it as smooth as possible.

The good old man surrounded dozens of people, and the confiscated thief weapons were re-forged, cast into a slender and inferior spearhead weighing half a catty, and then fixed them on a one-person-high wooden pole with a wooden pin, the two ends of the wooden pole are thin and slightly thick, and in order to strengthen and prevent falling off, a circle of hemp rope was tied at the interface of the spearhead. Since Liu Ce didn't have the ability to output remotely now, he had no choice but to make these rough-looking throwing guns to deal with the approaching thieves......

In a courtyard similar to the previous owner of the manor, the girl who was rescued by Liu Ce and them was sewing some cotton clothes at this time. The weather in October has gradually begun to get cold, and most of these girls from poor families were born early to share the housework, and have practiced a handy of sewing, and now they are arranged by Liu Ce to be a sister-in-law Qing, which is also handy for them.

In the past few days, this group of girls has gradually come out of the psychological shadow, and Liu Ce has taken extra care of herself. Before, there were a few homeless people in the village who saw these girls and used their brains crookedly, trying to use violence against them in order to enjoy the joy of fish and water, but they were caught by Liu Ce and cut off their heads on the spot and hung them in the village to show the public. Qin Mo also privately asked Liu Ce if this was too much, after all, they could only be regarded as an "attempted crime" at most, but Liu Ce was scolded by Liu Ce with a sentence of "troubled times need to be re-enacted".

However, Liu Ce's way of dealing with it is indeed the most effective means at the moment, after this trouble, the security in the village has been greatly improved, and many men who originally coveted those girls' families immediately threw these dirty ideas out of the clouds, and they were polite when they saw them.

Liu Ce has been the head of the village for more than a month, and he has directly set a lot of rules for the village. Judging from these harsh rules, many people in the outfit are big and don't even understand. For example, the open urine and spitting, caught once with five sticks, two times ten sticks, three times twenty sticks, the fourth time directly expelled, and then for example, littering to be beaten to the board in turn, and what queued up to rob the day without food, three times in a row found that the sticks were expelled, the original first in the village of the homeless people is understandable, but because the later homeless people settled here, several times unruly has been beaten out of the manor more than a dozen, one of them was beaten to death by Yang Youhuai......

These are trivial things, and everyone will endure it, but the rules behind it are terrifying.

Rapist of a woman, kill!

Chicken and dog stealers, kill!

Fornication thieves, kill!

Traitor to the survivor, kill!

Whoever insults his wife and children, kill!

……

In the word "kill", especially the living example of the six heads hanging outside the village, it shows that this Liu Zhuang owner is not a soft-hearted person, and many homeless people in the village have to be people with their tails between their legs, honest, and dare not make mistakes. Fortunately, as long as he abides by the rules and is willing to work, Liu Ce will never be good, there is no problem to eat three meals a day, which is very rare in Ganzhou, Heyuan, which is now full of thieves, and it can even be said that there is no second home.

However, the most benefited from these rules is these female dependents and children in the village, they are a vulnerable group, and in today's troubled times are the most priority to be abandoned, even in the peaceful years on weekdays, the status is extremely low and undignified, and no one will pay attention to them at all.

But now that I met Liu Ce, such a good owner of the village, I didn't think it was a burden because they were female dependents, and I didn't do anything that made them unacceptable, but instead arranged some work within my ability to make myself share the many trivial things in the village to do my part, so that these women and children girls could raise their heads in the village, and Liu Celi's rules themselves were the most beneficial to them, and the heads of several prodigal sons who tried to bully themselves were still hanging on the trees outside the village, so this group of women and children was the first to support Liu Ce, Work harder to do a good job every day to repay him......

At this time, a brigade of twenty people came from a mile outside the village, carrying four mule and horse carts full of goods, and at the forefront was a fast horse, and it was Chen Qing who had changed into an iron leaf armor, and the spear in his hand was also replaced by a three-meter-long triangular flat cone spear, and the horses he rode also changed from single stirrups to double stirrups, of course, this was also the result of Liu Ce letting Gao Laohan fight.

"Yo, Brother Chen is back? How about it, the harvest of this big bag is not small. The homeless man holding a waist knife on the Zhuang wall greeted Chen Qing with a smile, and when he saw four truckloads of supplies, he laughed again.

"Go, go, is there anything I can't do when Chen Qing goes out? Brothers, do you say?" Chen Qing rode on the horse with a smug face, pretending to turn around and ask the homeless people who went out together, attracting a voice of "Brother Chen's might".

Chen Qing touched his beloved horse, and couldn't help but admire Liu Ce again, a small stirrup change, he could actually let himself swing the spear with both hands on the horse without worrying about falling off the horse, and he improved his combat ability on a large horse with the help of the stirrup......

Over the past month or so, the number of homeless people has reached more than 600 people, and the number of homeless people in the manor has increased to more than 5,000 people with the continuous influx of homeless people, and there is a trend of continued growth, and the food problem that has been solved will soon appear in crisis again.

Therefore, Liu Ce ordered that the more than 600 displaced people who had been trained should go out of the village in stages to take the initiative to attack the strongholds of small bandits and thieves or the main routes for transporting grain. Now many of the exile soldiers are even eager to fight, and their psychology has gradually separated from the status of exile and become a qualified soldier......

On the other side, Han Feng and Sun Cheng also rode on horses and brought dozens of rogue militiamen to transport more than a dozen cars, and it seemed that everyone had gained a lot this time......

At the end of the noon training, the manor was filled with smoke, the sound of children playing endlessly, and the atmosphere of joy was permeated everywhere. Liu Ce was also tired all morning, paced to a bench and sat down, took out a water bag and drank a few sips of water, looking at the crowd and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

"I've done my best......," Liu Ce sighed in his heart, "How can I wait for it later, the most important thing now is to survive." ”

"Owner, it's time to eat!" Zhou Feng's voice came from under the village wall, at this time he was holding a large bowl, which was full of fragrant white rice and fried green vegetable leaves in oil, and after seeing Liu Ce answer him, he took chopsticks and stuffed the rice into his mouth, this Sven person does not necessarily have much Sven when he is hungry.

Liu Ce slowly walked down the steps of the Zhuang wall, and a girl timidly put a sea bowl full of rice and a plate of pickles beside Liu Ce.

Yang Kaishan and Feng Chounian still had blood stains on their faces, but depending on the situation, they should all belong to someone else.

"Crazy, Brother Yang, Mr. Qin, are you all right? Are there any casualties among the brothers?" Liu Ce stepped forward to hold their hands and asked kindly.

Yang Kaishan waved his hand: "What can it be?" encountered a group of 200 thieves escorting food, I didn't want to fight, but Mr. Qin said that he could fight, and he didn't want to fight under a beat, it was a rabble, and the brothers in the front row stabbed and left the supplies all over the mountain and fled. ”

Feng Chounian also said: "Lao Tzu has no chance to perform, I didn't expect this group of thieves to be scared away with one shot, and I can't cut a few after chasing for a long time, it's really not fun!" After saying that, he threw the axe fiercely and hung his head in despair.

"Hard work, everyone, eat first, come on, let's eat, Xu Hui, after you eat, take someone to count the things!" Liu Ce smiled, satisfied with the achievements of the soldiers and horses under his command.

Soon, bowls of bacon cut into slices and steamed in a large pot were placed in front of these soldiers returning from the battle, and the meat was fragrant, attracting the envy of other homeless, but no one would be jealous, because these were the rewards that the homeless people deserved, not to mention that they were fighting for the promotion of the village.

Qin Mo sat beside Liu Ce with a smile and talked to him about today's thief process.

"It's just because I saw that although the thieves were carrying grain and grass in large numbers, their pace was scattered, and the marching formation was disorderly, so I inferred that this group of people had just joined the thief army and were put together, and they were all carried by a mouthful of blood." Speaking of this, Qin Mo took a sip of water and smiled again, and stopped talking, because everyone already knew the next result.

Liu Ce sincerely admired Qin Mo's observation ability, and was about to speak, when Feng Chounian took a meat bowl and handed it to Qin Mo: "Sir, your meat!" ”

Qin Mo shook his head and smiled: "I have been a little uncomfortable in my stomach when I eat meat every day these days, so I don't eat it." ”

"Don't you really want to eat it?" Feng Chounian's eyes lit up, and Yang Kaishan, who was not far away, stopped holding the rice bowl, pricked up his ears and listened.

"Haha, I really don't want to eat it, Brother Feng has worked hard today, so I'll give you more to eat."

"Great! That's what you said! As soon as Feng Chou Nian heard this, he immediately brought the meat bowl to his eyes, picked up a piece and chewed it, and then ran towards the homeless pile as if flying, and Yang Kaishan hurriedly got up behind him and chased after him.

"Crazy, you stop for me, say that one person and half are good, mother, do you want to eat alone! ……”

Seeing Yang Kaishan Feng Chou Nian chasing each other, the surrounding crowd couldn't stop coaxing, and Liu Ce and Qin Mo also shook their heads and laughed......

After eating, after resting for a while, Guo Tao returned to the camp with dozens of homeless people armed with spears, and saw Liu Ce shaking his head.

"It's bloody." Guo Tao turned over and dismounted, crying with a sad face, "I thought I met a fat sheep, but I didn't expect this group of bandits to be poorer than thieves!" After chasing for dozens of miles, I only chased three broken knives! ”

"Hahahaha!" Yang Youhuai smiled heartlessly, "Didn't you say it earlier?" Those bandit dens even dislike rats, and you don't listen, how about it? Let's run for nothing! ”

Seeing Guo Tao's frustrated face, Liu Ce patted him on the shoulder: "It is also a merit to eliminate bandits for the people, don't you care, the food in the village is quite sufficient now......"

After comforting him for a while, Liu Ce called Qin Mo Ye Bin and those veterans together to discuss the matter.

"Now there are 4,770 stones of grain left in the village, 2,600 kilograms of meat, 310 kilograms of salt, 12 barrels of oil, 1,200 kilograms of refined iron, 60 horses of cotton cloth, and ...... cotton."

Xu Hui slowly reported the inventory materials in the village, Liu Ce kept waving it on a piece of paper with a charcoal pen, Feng Chou Nian only yawned and was drowsy, and Yang Kaishan beside him kept pushing him with a disgusted look to prevent him from being pressed over.

"700 spears, 50 pairs of waist knives, 600 throwing guns, 16 fast horses, 230 shields, 6 pairs of short bows, 633 pairs of leather armor, and the remaining leather can also make about 30 pairs of leather armor, 30,000 catties of hay, for the time being, there are currently a total of 5,133 people in the village, and the food can be supported for less than two months." Xu Hui let out a long breath after reporting the supplies.

Liu Ce memorized these and handed them to Qin Mo, Qin Mo handed the paper to Ye Bin again without looking at it, he knew that there would be no mistakes in the data recorded by Liu Ce, and there was no need to waste any more time.

Liu Ce was stunned, and said: "I want to see how to go next today, now we Wanjiazhuang continue to go out to suppress thieves and grab food, half a month, dozens of miles around the large and small bandit nests and small bandits have been cleared, in addition to the thieves scattered everywhere can not find other stable sources of materials, I want to hear everyone's opinions, what to do, more than 5,000 mouths in the village have to be fed, the weather is getting cold, and there is a shortage of cotton clothes and carbon fire for the winter. ”

All of a sudden, there was a deathly silence around him, and he saw Sun Cheng and Yang Fan scratching his head, and even Han Feng rarely showed a contemplative expression.

Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Qin Mo glanced at Ye Bin, and slowly said to Liu Ce: "Master Liu, I'll talk about these later, I want to ask what is the ambition of the owner?"

"Ambition?" Hearing this, Liu Ce closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said firmly: "Let the people who follow me and believe in me live like people, not be bullied by others, and die with dignity!" ”

Qin Mo nodded: "Lord Liu Zhuang thinks about everyone like this, then Qin Mou will give an opinion, our Wanjiazhuang is now famous in this radius of dozens of miles, but it does not have a resounding name, and the combat power of the homeless people trained in the village has also been greatly improved compared to before, why doesn't the owner of the village give these homeless people a banner and set up a righteous army?" ”

"Rebels?" Liu Ce was shocked, "The thieves also call themselves righteous soldiers......"

"Definitely." Qin Mo interrupted Liu Ce's words, "The thieves call themselves righteous soldiers, but they are doing the work of beasts, the owner of the village is different, only killing the thieves and bandits to seize food and save the people in distress, the two are not the same, now the strength of the homeless people in my village has the requirements to set up a military army, since the general said that they want to die with dignity, then please give our army a banner, so that even if they die on the battlefield, people will know whose army they are." ”

Liu Ce was silent, he didn't think about it, but the current situation is not optimistic, although the food and material problem is worry-free for the time being, but it is not uneven, the real safety is far from coming, and his future road must be full of bloody storms......

Half paid, Liu Ce asked: "Then according to Mr. Ie, what banner is good?" ”

Qin Mo didn't speak anymore, and Ye Bin beside him said: "Since everything in the village today is due to Brother Liu, it is better for Brother Liu to give a name!" ”

Liu Ce looked at everyone, and when he saw Yang Kaishan and Yang Youhuai looking at them with a serious face, he was also anxious to give his homeless team a resounding name.

Seeing this, Liu Ce got up and walked to the side to look at the homeless people who were constantly busy, and turned around for a long time and said.

"I heard a story, a long, long time ago, there was a sacred bird, named 'Jingwei', its parents were swept away by a huge wave when they went to the beach to feed, Jingwei in order to take revenge, every day from the sea with branches and stones thrown into the deep sea, day after day, year after year, tens of thousands of years have passed, the sea is still endless, but Jingwei bird is still tirelessly pulling branches and stones into the sea, a bird flew over and asked her why she is so persistent, it replied: do not fill the sea will not stop......"

"And then?" Everyone was fascinated by what they heard, and Xu Hui couldn't help but ask.

"Later, the Jingwei bird was still rain or shine, and kept going back and forth with stones and branches to send endless challenges to the huge waves of the sea, and finally the heavens were shaken......" Speaking of this, Liu Ce's words changed, "The ending is no longer important, the important thing is that Jingwei dares to challenge the unfair fate, you dare!" ”

"Everything is under the orders of the general!" Everyone present stood up and clenched their fists in unison, their eyes firm.

"Good! In this case, our Wanjiazhuang homeless people have an official banner from today, and it is called Jingwei Camp! Just like Jingwei, fill in this troubled world step by step! Liu Ce returned the salute with his fists in return, looking very resolute......

However, no one would have thought that in a few years, the three big words "Jingwei Camp" would resound throughout the continent......
