Chapter 18: The Taiping Army

Two days after Zhou Cang returned to the cottage, a series of information Xue Wenshan had already been sorted out, just waiting for Zhou Cang to see it.

Zhou Cang has been in a state of mind for the past two days, and even he doesn't know what he's thinking.

"My lord?"

"My lord?"

Xue Wenshan saw that Zhou Cang was absent-minded, and called him twice in a low voice.

"Hmm......" Zhou Cang vaguely heard someone talking.

"Wenshan, is there something wrong?"

"Lord, since you returned to the village, you have always frowned, is there anything to worry about? might as well say it, maybe Wenshan can share the worries for the lord. ”

"Let Wenshan worry, Wenshan, you said that Lu Bu alone can block thousands of troops, so even if we have more brothers, it won't be enough to kill?"

Zhou Cang said the question he had been thinking about for the past two days, if it was a normal world, no matter how good Lu Bu was, he only needed to organize a hundred archers, and a few waves of arrow rain could shoot Lu Bu into a sieve, but in this mutated world, let alone the arrow rain, even if it was a cannonball, maybe Lu Bu would be able to dodge it, or even resist hard.

Zhou Cang didn't think about making explosives, but the formula of the explosives alone only knew that there was sulfur, and he didn't know what sulfur was refined, and the others were completely black.

"Hehe" Xue Wenshan looked at Zhou Cang and laughed twice.

"Dare to ask the lord, how many Lu Bu are there in the world?"

"One!"

"In this case, what else does the lord have to worry about, according to my eldest brother, it is possible for Lu Bu to step into the point of transcendent sainthood, and it is basically impossible for ordinary soldiers to hurt him, since ordinary soldiers are not good, we can organize extraordinary ......" Xue Wenshan did not continue.

"That's right!" Zhou Cang slapped his head violently, it seemed that he was on the tip of the horns.

"I can organize a group of soldiers in the Gangqi Realm, if the Gangqi Realm is not good, then turn into a god realm, or simply recruit a group of fierce generals, what super fierce ......generals such as Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, etc."

"Hahahaha" Zhou Cang's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he laughed loudly, and wanted to say something when he saw Xue Wenshan.

"Wenshan, needless to say, I know that it is impossible to recruit capable warriors in my current status as a bandit, and I know this very well."

"Since the lord has already figured it out, then Wenshan won't say more." After speaking, Xue Wenshan left the hall.

Zhou Cang saw Xue Wenshan leaving, picked up the bamboo note in front of the table, and the casualties and harvests this time were unobstructed.

There were only 15 people who were slightly injured, 1,855 people were killed, half of them were injured, and 855 were old and weak women and children, that is to say, only about 500 strong soldiers were collected in this battle (the injured need to recover for at least two or three months), more than 3,000 weapons (including knives, guns, swords, axes, hammers, etc.), more than 1,300 pairs of armor, 35 horses, 3,000 catties of fine iron, 10,000 quintals of grain (10,000 quintals of grain is enough for 10,000 people to eat for a month), 30,000 taels of money and silver (silver is used to calculate coins, One hundred taels of silver is equal to one tael of gold).

"I'm grass, a little thief is so rich." You must know that 100,000 taels of silver can buy an official of the county order to do it, it seems that the one-eyed dragon is ready to make up enough 100,000 taels, and then go to buy an official to do it, but I didn't expect it to be cheaper in the end.

The price of official positions in the Han Dynasty is generally controlled by the ten permanent servants, and the cheapest is the county-level official positions: ranging from 1,000 taels of gold to 9,000 taels of gold, and at least 10,000 taels of gold at the county guard level. Further up, it's even more expensive, and it's not something you can buy with money.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhou Cang to buy an official with 30,000 taels of silver, and there is only one possibility for him to appear in front of the government in his current capacity, that is, to be directly arrested and beheaded.

Zhou Cang ordered people to use almost all of the 30,000 taels of silver to buy necessities such as fine iron, cloth skin, and grain.

With fine iron, weapons and arrows can be made, cloth can be used to make clothes and leather armor, and food can be used for Zhou Cang to recruit more soldiers.

Losing the attraction of Qinglong Village, Manniu Gu's cottage was quickly absorbed by Zhou Cang, and hundreds of strong men were obtained almost effortlessly.

At this moment, Zhoucang's White Tiger Village has a total of 6,772 people, 3,330 strong men (including minor injuries), and Zhoucang has eliminated those with poor physical fitness and no actual combat experience from these more than 3,000 people, and finally there are barely 1,000 people left.

The other 2,300 people were divided into five teams by Xue Baihu, Pei Yuanshao, Wang Tieniu, Li Ergou and Manniu Gu (Manniu Gu's original name was Gu Erniu, because he was as powerful as a cow, so he was called Manniu Gu) led the training.

The remaining 3,342 people were arranged by Xue Wenshan and Zhou Laosan.

After about a month of training, there are only about a hundred people left of this thousand, and Zhou Cang's so-called training is nothing more than the subjects he trained when he was in college in his previous life, but the intensity has increased dozens of times.

"The remaining one hundred and eight of you are the elite of the elite, you are the darlings chosen by God, and you are the heroes who ended this troubled world......"

Zhou Cang relied on the eloquence of the runner-up of the debate competition in his previous life, and puffed up the green tendons on the arms of these one hundred and eight men, and his morale was high, even if he was now in front of them the god of war Lu Bu, he would not hesitate to rush up and tear Lu Bu apart.

"From today onwards, you will have a new name - the Taiping Army, born to end the troubled times, to fight to quell the rebellion, to save the people, this is where you belong."

"Now I will give you one last chance, if you don't want to join the Taiping Army, turn around and leave immediately, once you join the Taiping Army, then your life will no longer belong to you."

The one hundred and eight people did not move, and their eyes were full of determination.

"Good!"

Zhou Cang nodded with satisfaction.

"Continue training, physical training in the morning, martial arts practice in the afternoon, and in a month it will be your last test to become a Taiping army."

After saying that, Zhou Cang turned around and left, and this one hundred and eight immediately began their respective exercises.

"Wenshan, our training plan has basically been completed recently, have the weapons and armor been manufactured?"

"My lord, the weapons have been made of a thousand fighting knives, 800 iron spears, 500 shields, 3,000 arrows, and only 30 sets of armor."

"Mmmm, you have to speed it up!"

"Lord, our fine iron is running out......

Xue Wenshan subconsciously said that he was going to 'get' some back, and as for how to get it, of course he grabbed it.

"Send the weapon down first, if you don't have it, use the wooden one first, I'll find a way to do it."

Fighting to nourish war is the best way to train troops.
