Chapter 4 Establishment of the Organization
Yang Ming had to let the young men carry these old and weak women and children on their backs, so that the speed of the team was much faster. It was not until the next morning that everyone finally arrived at the mountain pass, and then rested.
The col is located between two large mountains, with an open and trickling stream in the middle, and the mist in the distance is steaming, the green fields are verdant and undetectable, and the caves on either side are just enough to shelter from the wind and rain. So, Yang Ming decided to let everyone rest here for three days, and then go to the southwest after they were full of energy.
Yang Ming vaguely remembers that in the eastern Sichuan region, Daba Mountain in the north is northwest to southeast, while there is Wushan Mountain in the east and Huaying Mountain in the south, but if you go to the southwest, it is basically hilly. It should be possible to find a place with a mild climate and fertile land.
At this time, Lan Guanwei ran over from a dense forest, and said excitedly: "Childe, we picked up ten spears and five knives on the road, as well as two sets of cotton armor and five sets of paper armor, and two mules. ”
"Very good, that is to say, we now have a total of thirteen spears, ten knives, three sets of cotton armor and ten sets of paper armor, an old horse and two mules, these things are the foundation of our future development and growth", Yang Ming said and asked Lan Guanwei to gather all the young and middle-aged people.
These young men are all men between the ages of eighteen and forty, although most of them are honest farmers, but because of their perennial farming, they also have strong muscles, at least stronger than Yang Ming now, and most of them are more than seven feet tall, and they also have the heroic and strong style of the people of Qindi in their bones.
Along the way, Yang Ming would take time to train them from time to time, but he could also do basic queue movements.
"Look to the right!"
"Stand upright!"
"Take a break!"
After Yang Ming gave a few orders, these people were able to do the order, and although the team looked a little uneven, it was also mighty in the eyes of the other villagers.
"Childe, I didn't expect you to know how to train soldiers, and these mud legs have also been trained by you to look good", Doctor Lan couldn't help but praise when he saw this.
"Doctor Lan has won the award, they are still far away, if they meet officers and soldiers and thieves who have been on the battlefield, they will only be slaughtered", Yang Ming's words made Lan Guanwei and other young adults a little unconvinced.
"What, not convinced? What I met yesterday evening was just a small force of Ming troops, and most of you haven't made shrinking turtles yet, and you want me, a scholar, to go up when you come", what Yang Ming has to do now is to stimulate the blood in the hearts of these peasants and cultivate them step by step into real predators.
"Report!"
The biggest advantage of these peasants is that they are easy to accept in terms of obeying the rules, and they are a little unconvinced, Lan Guanwei stood up after making a report, and shouted loudly: "Childe, I didn't coax at the time, if it wasn't for the guy who didn't take advantage of it, I wouldn't have killed two people!" ”
"Report, I, Liu Hei, didn't coax it at the time, and I also smashed a soldier's head, the assassination you taught me didn't work, every time I stabbed someone else's head", Liu Hei also came out and shouted.
Yang Ming couldn't help but smile when he saw Liu Hei's more than two-meter-tall figure: "It's mainly because you're too tall, and it's my fault, I ignored your particularity, so that you can't stab anyone every time." ”
"Okay, there is no doubt about this, Lan Guanwei and Liu Hei brothers are very good, as well as the Dazhu brothers, Cao Laosan, and the other brothers did not flinch later, which is worthy of praise. But we also have to protect more than 100 villagers, is that enough? Yang Ming asked loudly as he spoke.
"Not enough!" Dozens of young adults shouted loudly, but it was also earth-shattering.
"Yes, these are not enough, think of our fathers and villagers who died tragically at the hands of officers and soldiers and thieves, such as Liu Hei's sister-in-law, Cao Laosan's baby who just walked, and Brother Dazhu's newly pregnant daughter-in-law......
Their deaths are not only due to the abominable officers and thieves but also because of our own poor protection, if we had taken up our weapons and shown our fists, it would not be like this now, do you say? ”
As soon as Yang Ming talked about these tragically dead relatives, many people in the crowd couldn't help crying, but when Yang Ming shouted, the entire crowd, including the old and weak women and children sitting outside, also shouted: "Yes!" ”
"So, brothers, now we should step up our training, only when we become stronger, no relatives will be bullied, no one will dare to invade our homeland, and we will not be displaced and exiled like we are now!"
After Yang Ming's eloquent speech, these young adults consciously straightened their chests, their hearts surging and their blood boiling. It seems that they have gradually transformed from scattered and unorganized peasants into an organized and disciplined army.
"Now we have sixty-four brothers, but the weapons and armor are far from enough, so we can only give them to the most heroic people who showed the most heroic in the last time they repelled the officers and soldiers, and the other brothers who did not receive them should not be discouraged, there will be a chance next time!" Yang Ming distributed these weapons as he spoke.
Lan Guanwei was the most heroic because he killed two soldiers, so he got a set of cotton armor and a spear.
And Liu Hei also got a set of cotton armor for killing an enemy, but when Yang Ming gave him a spear, he was unwilling, he would rather have a waist knife.
Cao Laosan got a set of paper armor and a spear, and Dazhu also got a set of paper armor and a spear.
But others either had a spear, or a knife, or even a set of paper armor, but this was still much luckier than those who only had a long stick in their hands.
Those who did not receive weapons and equipment were indeed a little frustrated, but when they thought of Childe's promise that they would be given priority as long as they were brave in the future, they secretly vowed that they would train well in the future, and that they would never be a lock turtle again when they encountered an enemy again.
Next, Yang Ming divided the sixty-four people into four teams.
The first team was captained by Lan Guanwei, the second team was captained by Liu Hei, the third team was captained by Cao Laosan, the fourth team was captained by Dazhu, and he was the captain and servant.
Most of the villagers, including these sixty-four young adults, didn't know why Gongzi did this, and most of them didn't understand what captain, captain, and servant was.
But they all understand a truth, that is, since Childe does this, he naturally has his own reason.
Of course, there are also opposing voices, such as Dr. Lan, who was persuaded by Yang Ming many times before he was willing to serve as the health captain in charge of the disease treatment and health and epidemic prevention of the entire villagers, said that Yang Ming was doing nonsense.
However, Zhang Yuanwai, who had always been looked down upon by Dr. Lan, praised Yang Ming's move, and invited himself to be a grain money captain and responsible for all food distribution.
In order to show his support for Yang Ming's move, Zhang Yuanwai also took out a bag of salt that he had been hiding, saying that in the future, if everyone wants to eat salt, they must come to him to receive it, and everyone can only receive it once a day, and the amount is limited, but at least there is no need to eat light and tasteless food.
Yang Ming also asked Liu Lao Blacksmith to be the equipment captain, saying that he would rely on him to make weapons and farm tools when he settled down in the future, and Liu Blacksmith also agreed to come down.
In addition, Yang Ming also wanted Yun Die to be the captain of the women and children, responsible for taking care of these women and children and taking them to collect fruits and vegetables, but Yun Die was reluctant to say that he just wanted to serve the young master well.
At this time, a young woman who had been carried by Yang Ming because of her broken foot came over and recommended herself, but although this young woman had a low chin and low eyebrows, it was difficult to hide her charm and charm.
But Yang Ming can't discriminate against others because they are widows, after all, it's not wrong to be sexy and beautiful, so Yang Ming agreed.
Yang Ming knew that this young woman's name was Xu Shuixian, her husband was killed by thieves on the way to escape, and he didn't sneak in with the man along the way, even if she carried her on her part, she was blushing, and she was more shy than herself, so Yang Ming didn't believe what Dr. Lan said, this Xu Shuixian might have damaged these women and children.
