After leaving for more than a month, Lin Chong finally returned to Liangshan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the harvest of this trip was also huge, when he went down the mountain, he only had eight horses, but when he came back, he brought back more than 7,000 people.

Instead, the Yunlai Hotel and Yuelai Hotel, who were in charge of greeting them, as well as the three Ruan brothers' sailors, were all busy.

When he arrived at the northernmost Yunlai Hotel, Lin Chong ordered the old and weak women and children of Zhujiazhuang to board the island here;

Let Lu Zhishen and Lu Fang lead the 3,000 recruits from Hebei to continue to walk south along Shuibo, and go to the Yuelai Hotel in the west to land on the island at two points.

Lin Chong himself met Zhu Fu in the Yunlai Hotel and encouraged him. Only then did he get on the ferry that Ruan Xiaoqi personally supported the boat, together with Lu Jiang and Wen Huanzhang, who came down the mountain to pick them up, and the mouth of the smile was crooked.

"Brother the military master, you are really generous, you are too capable, bring back so many people at once, it is difficult for my Liangshan Army to prosper or not!

If the army lord's brother is going down the mountain a few more times, won't our Liangshan army have tens of thousands of horses at once? ”

Lin Chong smiled, in fact, in times of rebellion, accepting people is the easiest thing.

For example, in the original history, tens of thousands of people joined the rebel army in less than ten days after the Fangla Uprising;

Another example is the Huangchao rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty, which was also defeated many times and wiped out the whole army, leaving hundreds of thousands of people, but soon after that, it was able to pull out a team of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.

But these rebellions ultimately failed, and there were many other reasons for this, but the most important of them was that the number and quality of these armies were really miserable.

Therefore, if you want to rebel, it is not the ability to accept people at all, and it is the ability to train a strong army after accepting people.

So Lin Chong asked Wen Huanzhang: "Sir, do you have any statistics, how many of us are now?" ”

As the head of Liangshan's internal affairs, Wen Huanzhang didn't think about it, and opened his mouth and said: "Not counting what the military master brought back this time, there are now 4,563 soldiers in Liangshan.

Among them, there are 1,000 cavalry, and the barracks with field horses can only share one horse with two or three people; two thousand eight hundred thousand infantry; 500 sailors; Divine Machine Camp ......

In addition, there are more than 1,600 reservists in training...... Tens of thousands of families of soldiers and craftsmen......

At this stage, we don't need to accept any more people, and if we do, we will have no place to live, so we can only temporarily set up tents and cut down wood to build wooden houses......"

"Okay, okay, we won't accept people at this stage, and our main task now is to train troops?"

As soon as he heard that there were so many people on Liangshan now, Lin Chong also laughed immediately, and then changed the topic: "By the way, has a large-scale collection of people like ours attracted the attention of the officials of Ji and Yun?" ”

Wen Huanzhang was asked as soon as he was asked, and he listened to General Lu and said: "This is not easy to say, it is said that if we accept people like this, it is impossible for the governments of the two states not to notice it, but according to our report of going down the mountain to collect people, everything is calm and normal in the two state governments at present." ”

Although the absence of news is good news, business as usual means that it may not have attracted the attention of the governments of the two states.

But this is just an inaccurate piece of information, which makes Lin Chong, who has watched a lot of spy war dramas in his previous life, always feel a little unreliable.

So Lin Chong said: "I plan to go back, and then add a special battalion number in the army to investigate all kinds of intelligence."

This battalion doesn't need too many people, a hundred people are enough at this stage, but it must be good enough.

I am going to select some shrewd and agile people from the other battalions to serve as the backbone of this battalion, what do you think? ”

As soon as the two of them heard it, they immediately understood what Lin Chong meant, wasn't this the scout camp? The two also understand the importance of intelligence work, so naturally they will not object.

It's just that when they heard Lin Chong say that they wanted to pick people from other battalions, the two of them couldn't help laughing, and they heard General Lu say: "Now that the Liangshan Army has not been built for a long time, all battalions are busy training, and one or two elite soldiers and strong generals on hand are regarded as treasures.

Brother, aren't you trying to rip flesh out of their hearts, I'm afraid that someone will come to complain. ”

Lin Chong smiled: "If you complain, you will complain, but this is a military order, and it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and he must also carry out his grievances to the letter, I want to see who is like a rich man." ”

Ruan Xiaoqi, who personally supported the boat on the side, was also accustomed to seeing the commanders of each battalion fighting for some good seedlings when they were picking people in the new barracks, all kinds of coaxing, and making wishes, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother the military master, this special agent battalion is responsible for probing intelligence, and there is no need to pick people from our navy, right?"

"Why don't you need to pick people from the navy? This camp will be of great use to me in the future, and knowing how to water is also an important skill that these scouts must learn.

I think it's better not only to pick people in the water army, but also to pick out the best water ghosts in the water army. ”

"Ah~"

Ruan Xiaoqi, who was gloating just now, suddenly made a bitter face, which made Lin Chong and the other three laugh.

"By the way, since our task below is to train the troops, the two of you will arrange it, and let everyone gather at the big campus tomorrow, and I will give a lecture to all the recruits."

After laughing, everyone talked about some other topics, and talked about Zhujiazhuang, Lin Chong told the two of them his plan.

Different from Xu Guanzhong's conservatism, the two of them agreed very much that Lin Chong would take down Zhujiazhuang for a month, and it would be regarded as military training, and the actual combat drill would be much better than the monotonous hard training every day.

While speaking, the ferry finally docked, and naturally a group of officers of all sizes ran to greet Lin Chong on the shore, and they came forward to greet Lin Chong one by one.

Lin Chong encouraged and praised them one by one, then handed over the specific affairs to Wen Huanzhang and General Lu, and rushed to the house with Guo Shisan, who came to greet him.

"Master, Master is back!"

In fact, there is no need to shout thirteen, the cheers and greetings outside Zhenniang have already heard it, and she has already rushed out with Jin'er, as well as Zhang Jiaotou and his wife.

When I got to the outside of the yard, I saw Lin Chong constantly greeting the neighbors, bowing his hand, and hurriedly turned around when he heard the footsteps.

"The husband has worked hard here, and the concubine has never been far away to meet ......"

Zhang Zhenniang was just about to be blessed when Lin Chong helped her, and he smiled: "You and I are husband and wife, why be polite, but let the lady worry." ”

Seeing that Zhen Niang's good-looking big eyes were filled with a layer of moisture, Lin Chong's heart was warm.

Subconsciously I wanted to reach out and touch Zhang Zhenniang's face, but when I finally saw so many people around, I still couldn't help it, just took her hand and said, "It's been hard work these days......"

The two held hands and went to the front hall, and after meeting the father-in-law and mother-in-law, Zhenniang wiped her eyes and said: "The husband has been gone for more than a month, and now he should be very tired, the concubine has prepared hot water, and the husband ......."

Lin Chong's heart was hot, and he couldn't help but put his head to Zhen Niang's ear, and laughed softly: "Lady, don't you go and wait to bathe your husband?" ”

Zhang Zhenniang even turned red at the root of her ears,
