Lin Ming took the bottom-up or top-down routes, so first of all, he needed a spokesperson, a person who could transmit the Momen doctrine and influence to all parts of the Chinese land. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Yu is such an existence, and he has obtained the world with the thought of Momen, so the correctness of Momen will be confirmed. If the people live a better life than they do now, then it proves that the Mohists are actually superior to Confucianism.

As for Momen's help to Li Yu, it is equivalent to an advertiser's investment, and naturally there will be greater returns before investing.

Lin Ming planned to actually investigate Li Yu's forces, and look at the public ownership and contract system from the actual situation. What he hears is better than what he sees, and he has always held on to this belief.

As for Yang Lang and the three of them, they also wandered outside for a long time, and even went to the Welcome Pavilion once and rolled on the kang.

"Brother Li, it is said that you invented the fire kang?" Seeing Li Yu and Lin Ming come out, it was not difficult to see from the smiles of the two of them that the cooperative relationship had been preliminarily reached, so they came up and asked.

"Yes, mainly because the people lack warm clothing in winter, and many people suffer in winter. So after thinking about it, I invented this kind of fire kang. This thing is not very useful in the south, but it is practical in Hebei, especially in western and eastern Liaoning! Li Yu nodded and replied.

"Why don't we Momen help you promote it! Tell it, spread the design principles and construction methods of the fire kang, and declare to the outside world that this is Li Yukang, which was invented by Li Yu, a son of the Li family in Longxi, who took pity on the suffering of the people in the world. Lin Ming immediately stood up.

Under the comparison between Yang Lang and Li Yu, he already roughly knew the appearance and function of the fire kang. also realized that this was a good opportunity to make Li Yu famous, so he took the initiative to stand up.

"Li Yukang, but it's a good name! Let's arrange it, you two hurry up and find something to write on! Yang Lang also reacted quickly, and immediately turned around and said to Chen Tao and Liu Xing.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself. By the way, I'm going to see the actual kang too! Lin Ming thought about it, and walked directly towards the Welcome Pavilion with Chen Tao and Liu Xing.

Li Yu was speechless, is this the first step in advertising? But he can't say anything, in this era of backward communication and closed information. It's not easy to be famous, but it's okay for the children of the family to worship under the door of a certain celebrity.

Famous people took him everywhere to visit relatives and friends and do publicity, and then promoted the apprentices, and said when he would be noticed by the government, showing filial piety or Maocai, so that he could enter the official career. In other words, the real use of the so-called celebrities in these years is actually this......

Fame works no matter what era it is, Li Yu knows this, so he didn't stop it, after all, this fire kang is not something that needs to be kept secret, and it will be done after two looks. Instead of letting others promote it and earn fame at that time, it is better for the protagonist to earn it!

"There's nothing to do now, and it seems that I'm going to stay here for a while now. Yang thought that there was nothing to do, and planned to go to the barracks to live a foolish life, but he didn't know if Brother Li could allow it? Yang Lang was thrown down, and after a while, he came to Li Yu and asked.

The meaning is clear, he wants to join the army. Of course, he didn't start with a small soldier, so he needed to let Li Yu open the back door for him.

"Brother Yang wants to join the army, and Li is naturally welcome! If you don't dislike it, it's a miscellaneous name, but you can be the captain of Hulie! Li Yu directly gave up a big cake.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, some captains even commanded 5,000 people. The troops under Li Yu's command are only 5,000 people, which is already the largest number of young and strong people who can be transferred, and if they continue to be transferred, they are afraid that it will affect the production of the base area.

The 5,000 men were mainly captains such as Zulang, the former village chief, or a recognized warrior among the mountain people. In fact, it is impossible to rush out in real action, and guerrilla warfare is often carried out in a squad of 50 people.

The phalanx, as well as the standing military posture, etc., are just to prepare for the expansion of the scale in the future, and even when it comes to the Jiangbei Plain War. As Lin Ming said, Li Yu really does not plan to live in Jiangnanwo for the rest of his life.

The barracks were not originally open, at least not for everyone. The village that has just been merged, no one knows if there are eyeliners planted by other families in it. To say that Li Yu trusts the most, in fact, it is his original village of nearly 1,000 people, and the people there are all his admirers.

Strictly speaking, not all of these 5,000 people are his followers, more than 2,000 are not, a few hundred are his admirers, and the remaining 1,500 are followers.

It's just that Li Yu took into account Wang Xing's counterattack, so he had to summon these 5,000 people for backup in a short period of time.

"The current base area ...... That's the word, right? How many people are in the base today? After a brief look inside the barracks, Yang Lang couldn't help asking.

"A little bit of statistics, there are 30,000 mountain people within a radius of 50 miles, and there are some mountain people around who plan to take refuge in the surrounding area, mainly here where they can restore their household registration and enjoy the treatment of Han people. There is no need for them to hide in the mountains and be afraid, they can even go down the mountain and hang out openly. It's just that the base is newly built, and a lot of things are needed at all, so I don't dare to recruit people indiscriminately. Li Yu replied.

If you really want to say it, he can actually buy corn or wheat at a price of 2 points per catty, but it is not a long-term solution for him to provide for it. And Zu Lang has also cleaned up some sneaky guys among the mountain people who have come to defect recently. After interrogation, it was learned that the Yamashita family sent them to pretend to be mountain people, with the purpose of breaking into the base area, and I don't know if there is Wang Xing behind it.

"Although I don't know what Brother Li is worried about...... But for the sake of the long term, the number of people was reduced to 2,000 more than enough! Yang Lang looked at the soldiers on the school ground, turned his head to look at Li Yu and said.

"Why?" Of course, Li Yu couldn't tell him that he directly planned to resist Wang Xing's attack.

"Let's not mention that many of them are over thirty years old, and if they are veterans at this age, it is naturally good, but in fact, if you want to train elite soldiers, it is best to start training at the age of fifteen or sixteen. After training, he is only twenty years old, and he still has more than ten years of service, on the contrary, if he is trained in front of an uncle in his thirties, he will have a few years of service at most, otherwise he will drag down his comrades.

At the same time, the food needed for a soldier's training is for two people, in other words, 5,000 people can eat 10,000 servings of food in a day, and Yang is talking about the food consumed daily. At present, there are only 30,000 people under Brother Li's command, and after deducting the elderly and children, I am afraid that there are only 15,000 young and strong, which is equivalent to three people supporting one soldier, which consumes too much and also affects the construction of the base area.

Especially in battle, especially long-distance marches, one soldier often needs three civilians to complete the supply, after all, in the process of transportation, food will also be lost. Unfortunately, Brother Li currently doesn't have so many young men under his command who can be used as people's husbands! A large number of people will also be transferred to a state of stagnation. Yang Lang reminded.

If the army wants to fight, it will fight logistics, and it can't be like when it was chaotic, learning from those aliens to supplement military rations by eating human flesh. Such a militia ratio is so bad that it is easy to go wrong.

Zu Heng had earlier mobilized thousands of mountain people in one go, but the problem was that they mainly went down the mountain to loot. You don't have to go far to get there, and grabbing something can also supplement the consumption of logistics. Or they can transfer the expensive goods they have looted to the local villages to obtain food supplies, so that they can hold on.

If these thousands of people are regularized, then I'm afraid that Zu Heng will not be able to bear it, right?

Yang Lang was obviously very reasonable, and Li Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "If the enemy suddenly mobilizes tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of troops, how can he resist with only two thousand?" ”

"Are you going to rebel?" Yang Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

"No, just ask!" Li Yu shook his head, fortunately, Yang Lang could hear it, and he didn't plan to rebel in the short term.

"Since it's not a rebellion, then where will anyone attack you? And why did they come against you? Yang Lang couldn't help asking.

"Recently, I caught some, it was the eyes and ears sent by the Yamashita family, it is said that Lingyang ordered Wang Xing to launch an attack on the base area, and invited the officials and families of several surrounding counties to take action, I am worried that the number of people will be too large to deal with!" Li Yu replied half-truthfully.

"I don't know why Wang Xing wants to deal with you, but Yang knows that the transfer of more than 10,000 people must be ordered by the imperial court himself, otherwise it will be like a rebellion. Local crackdowns on bandits are often unilateral attacks by county seats, and if they want to unite several county seats, they must report their ...... The mountains here in the south are high and the emperor is far away, maybe they will make a joint encirclement and suppression but do not report it......

It's just that Brother Li has thought about how many people they can mobilize? Lingyang is just a small city, the number of defenders is only two hundred, it always has to leave some people to guard, so Lingyang can dispatch a hundred people is already very good, at most plus the family soldiers of the family, it is definitely not more than five hundred, the key is that those family soldiers are just a group of rabble.

Several surrounding counties, such as Qianxian, Jingxian, and Shexian, even if you add the hometown and Yuqian County, can mobilize no more than 5,000 troops, and most of them are rabble. As for reporting Brother Li as a traitor and prompting the imperial court to launch a real encirclement and suppression, if nothing else, His Majesty will not approve it.

Under such circumstances, Brother Li left two thousand elites, didn't he have the confidence to deal with the five thousand rabble? Yang Lang said.

He also gave Li Yu a science popularization by the way, in fact, there are quite a lot of soldiers left behind in many places in the south, and some small towns in the north even have only fifty guards. After all, it is the hinterland of the Central Plains, there is no danger, and some counties are only guarded by 2,000 people.

It is almost impossible to have a war with thousands or even tens of thousands of people at every turn, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people will be mobilized to fight against foreign invasions.

Internally, there has never been a case of more than 20,000 people. If it appears, it means that this existence has seriously threatened the survival of the Great Han. It can be treated as a foreigner, and there is no need to save anymore.

After all, hundreds of people eat horses, which is a lot of money, not to mention the people who have to be requisitioned for this purpose, and the extra part of the food that needs to be consumed. This made Li Yu suddenly, it is also true, Huaxia now has a population of only 50 million, and it has to be scattered all over the country, and the total number of Han people is actually 200,000 horses, of which 100,000 are scattered in the border areas such as Youzhou and Liangzhou.

There are only tens of thousands of troops, scattered all over the Central Plains, many of which are still concentrated in the south, but there are certainly not many defenders in places like Lingyang, in the final analysis, it is still a time of peace, there is no division of the princes, and conscription is not the mainstream, even at that time, the princes can't afford to raise so many soldiers. Ordinary battles are at the level of thousands of people, and there will be tens of thousands of people in large-scale battles, what Chibi's 800,000 army is a lie, there are really 800,000, Chibi has not yet started to fight Cao Cao and went bankrupt.

According to Yang Lang's meaning, the base is now in the mountains and forests, and the terrain here is complex and not suitable for large-scale charging battles. Breaking it into pieces is the key, too many soldiers are useless, and two thousand people are enough to deal with the rabble of those officials.

On the contrary, the construction of the base area has only just begun, and it is the result of the merger of several villages. In other words, what is needed at this time is not a lot of recruitment and training, but the resumption of production and the improvement of production are the key. If people's hearts cannot be gathered, there is no point in having tens of thousands of troops on hand. People's lives could not be improved, and the soldiers could not serve Li Yu to the death.

A sentence to summarize: It is good if there are not too many such things as the army, and the most important thing is to be suitable!

In modern times, it is a wise saying, a missile will kill all tens of thousands of people, and the number of people is meaningless. In the future, the emphasis will be on special operations, as well as digital operations. Huaxia has disarmed millions of people, and all that is left behind are elite!

Speaking of special operations, Li Yu immediately asked Yang Lang: "Speaking of which, Momen seems to be very proficient in assassination?" ”

"Not really, but I'm good at assassination and assault. After all, a person's physical strength is limited, in order to reduce the consumption of physical strength, avoid head-on combat, use a lurking way to attack and kill the opponent's commander, and then disintegrate the enemy's troops, this is the idea put forward by the inheritance. At that time, Juzi Wang Yue tried it once, and then it began to become popular in Momen. Yang Lang thought about it and said it because he felt that it was not a secret.

The news that Wang Yue single-handedly killed Helan Mountain and returned from taking the head of the thief chief is also famous in the world. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been able to be Liu Hong's swordsmanship, of course, he was actually a personal bodyguard and a professional bodyguard to prevent assassination.

"Then Brother Yang, do you know this?" Li Yu couldn't help asking.

"I learned a little in the first two years, but in fact, Yang prefers to shoot and kill the enemy general three hundred steps away. However, I also think it's quite interesting to infiltrate the enemy army and attack the opponent's boss! Yang Lang smiled and pulled open the cloth that wrapped the weapon, revealing the weapon inside.

It was a special weapon, the main body of which was a bow and arrow, much like a Scottish longbow, with a quiver containing fifty special arrows that were not too thick, but definitely exceeded the length of ordinary arrows. With this thing, shoot three hundred steps away, Li Yu didn't doubt it.

The two ends of the bow and arrow are sword blades, much like two small daggers stuck in them, but in fact they are like spearheads. Obviously, this is to facilitate Yang Lang's melee combat, but Yang Lang really likes archery so much?

"The bow gun, the weapon developed for me to shoot, has the power equivalent to the three-stone bow, the key is that it can be used in close combat, it can be folded when necessary, and even ......" As he spoke, he flipped a switch and closed the bowstring, turning the longbow into two short guns, "It can still be used like that!" ”

At that moment, Li Yu's most intuitive feeling was that Lin Ming was a treasure! I have to let him stay! He is definitely a military talent, this kind of talent is unknown in the late Han Dynasty, this is unbearable!

"That's good, Li plans to gradually form a different scout force, I don't know if Brother Yang is interested?" Li Yu quickly came back to his senses, and then said with a smile towards Yang Lang.

"Let's hear it, since Yang wants to join the army, he naturally has to obey military orders, but he is a little curious about that army!" Yang Lang thought about it and replied.

"Actually, it's very simple, it's ......" Li Yu directly pulled him out of the barracks, and then slowly explained.
