Heroes emerge in troubled times, and heroes are created in the times. There are many, many such examples in history.

A thought came to Mei Xiaohan's heart, "Build a country of your own." ”

It's easier said than done to build a country.

Land, population, and the form of government are all important issues that have to be considered.

However, no one can tell anyone about this idea, including those classmates and friends who are still in Yunzhou Mansion.

Statehood is not so easy, far from it.

What's more, the so-called concept of the state has only gradually taken shape in modern times.

When you ask a person what a country is, the ancients didn't know how to answer.

However, if you ask the ancients what an emperor is, he will be very clear.

However, Mei Xiaohan didn't want to be an emperor, he wanted to build a country that belonged to his ideals, and this country must be built on a deep-rooted traditional culture.

Without such soil, such vitality would not sprout.

Mei Xiaohan's magical gourd, the omnipotent gourd, this era is waiting for it to bring changes.

It is true that money can make ghosts grind, and money can also buy people's hearts.

However, it is very difficult to rely on one person who is too weak, or even has no direction.

On the streets of Yangzhou City, there are often many officers and soldiers walking around.

When a nameless army plundered a shop, Mei Xiaohan finally made a move. Taking advantage of the fire to rob is not what a righteous man and a gentleman do. It was the thing he hated the most.

A large number of merchants went bankrupt because of the war, and all their savings were almost wiped out.

Falling into the well is not a gentleman's act. The prey is dispatched, and the predators will certainly not be idle. Mei Xiaohan wants to do too much, first of all, start with Liwei.

What works is to make an example of a hundred.

His one gun, in this day and age. He is an absolute king who will convince people to surrender. Speechless!

By the time the bullet was in the throat of the shouting general, he might not have understood what had happened to him, and perhaps he would have to go to the king of Yama to find the answer he wanted, but by then it would be too late.

"Bang..."

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, blood splattered.

"This is a punishment for him and a warning to you!"

There is always someone in the world who can take care of you, and you can't be too proud.

Mei Xiaohan said: "You don't have to be surprised, I killed the person." ”

Whether it is a regular army or a miscellaneous army, as long as it plunders the common people, it has already violated military regulations. Robbing the people's property is a dead end crime.

This ragtag army that didn't even have a name, his general died under Mei Xiaohan's gun.

"How... Follow me! ”

Everyone was so frightened that they didn't know how to answer.

"You, you, you... Who are you, and why did our boss die like this? ”

Mei Xiaohan understood that no matter what she said to them, they would not understand how their boss died. I just don't talk nonsense.

"From today on, as long as you follow me and keep what you don't eat or drink, but you can't take a grain of food from the people."

Maybe these soldiers will not understand how to live without robbing, for some people, to be a soldier is to be able to plunder the people's property and food at will.

Mei Xiaohan said: "How... You don't believe me? ”

No one answered Mei Xiaohan, and many people did not wake up from the fright just now.

Life and death are only in an instant, although this kind of parting is staged every day, but it is still very difficult for people to fully adapt.

A person raised the machete and was about to cut it again, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense with him, he killed our eldest brother, give our eldest brother revenge!" ”

Cold weapons are always cold weapons, and when they encounter a pistol that is hundreds of times more advanced, it completely loses its effect.

"Bump!"

Mei Xiaohan doesn't care about killing one more person, in the years of war, the meaning of life has become a little different.

...

Three days later, Yangzhou City.

Mei Xiaohan's team expanded to five hundred, which was the result of his deliberate reduction.

The team of five hundred men was divided into five sections, each of which was one hundred.

In addition to the guns, the 500 men were equipped with almost all the equipment that a modern soldier would have.

You can camp anywhere at any time and without any environmental factors.

Steel-like discipline, uniform food, clothing, housing and transportation. Mei Xiaohan learned all this from military textbooks.

Although it is not perfect, it is already a little bit of a look overall, which makes Mei Xiaohan very pleased.

The number of the "Hulu Army" is gradually increasing, but Mei Xiaohan is consciously controlling the number.

The ancient Chinese had an aphorism that "too much" said that there is a degree to everything. Exceeding this level does not mean that good results can be achieved.

The so-called tree is a big move, and the team of 500 people will not attract much attention.

Although there were many small teams that asked to join, they were all rejected by Mei Xiaohan one by one. As a result, some small forces signed a non-aggression pact with the "gourd army" led by Mei Xiaohan.

You can't be a comrade-in-arms, at least don't be an enemy.

The solution of the food problem is the most important issue for the army, and it is also the most important issue.

Everything was moving according to plan, regular military defenses, and enough food.

The next step is to form an interim government:

The plan was carried out in secret and without much fanfare.

Talents, any era needs talents. Talents in management, talents who can command troops, and talents who can govern the country.

Soldiers are fine, not many.

Under the moonlit night, Mei Xiaohan fell into contemplation again. Every step he took was so difficult, and the road ahead was even more directionless.

The spiritual pillar that sustains this 500-strong contingent is actually empty, and although the food and equipment are complete and sophisticated enough, they are not enough to promote the continued growth and development of this contingent.

In retreat, many people choose to join the Hulu Army just to be able to live better. For this strange gourd army, not many people really care whether it prospers or declines.

Just to live, to live better.

However, an army, from the very beginning, is flesh and blood. Mei Xiaohan firmly believes that after a period of time.

Ups and downs, in company, in experience, in exercise, in growth.

Having not experienced the forging of fire, nor the erosion of wind and snow, it is difficult for this team to gain true vitality.

That is a strong and unyielding quality, and that is a kind of military soul that imprints faith in the heart!
