Iron is one of the most important strategic materials, especially in troubled times, a blacksmith with a little craftsmanship is even rarer, Xu Zhengze is most worried about how to recruit, relying on force is not necessary, but after all, talent is rare, if there is anything left, isn't it to find trouble? He didn't expect the old blacksmith's requirements to be quite low, and he was really overjoyed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to retain this scarce technical talent, Xu Zhengze promised: "Uncle is the master craftsman we invited, the team needs weapons, farm tools and other things the most, everything involved in iron work has to rely on the old man, how dare we slack?" We are responsible for our own food and clothing every day, and if there are any requirements, as long as we can do it, we will definitely do it. ”

"Good...... All right. After listening to Xu Zhengze's promise, the old man happily agreed.

Seeing that it was getting late, it was time to go back for dinner, Xu Zhengze opened his mouth to invite, and took the old man away very enthusiastically. For him, he is most greedy for such a warm and leisurely time, but the world does not allow it.

The people in the village eat mostly fish and shrimp caught in the lake, as well as wild vegetables picked in the field, and occasionally catch some wild animals, but as for rice, flour and sorghum, there is no grain at all. There are about seven or eight thousand acres of land outside the village, sparsely planted with some wheat, he and Wu Yong have seen that because there are few people to take care of it, the growth will not be so good, but it is estimated that there is a harvest of 100 catties per acre, and there is a harvest of 6 or 7,000 stones in these lands -- enough for 200 people to eat for a year.

Most of the people who fled from the village did not have any farm tools to bring, and occasionally there were a few wooden sickles and stone hoes, which were very simple, so Xu Zhengze had the intention to build some farm tools. Most of the weapons seized this time were long knives, which were very rude, and he couldn't look at them, so he deliberately turned them into something useful and remade them. When he showed it to the old man, he shook his head, it is not difficult to make hoes, sickles, and even iron plows, but the difficulty is that there are too few irons, and they can't hit a few pieces, and they are not enough at all, which makes Xu Zhengze very disappointed, but he still asks for more farm tools, and the people take food as the sky, and the weapons can be replaced by other things first.

In fact, it doesn't cost much iron to make some spear heads, the spear is a poor man's weapon, only a few taels of iron on the head, there are still some, but Xu Zhengze wants to discuss it with Wu Yong. Neither of them knew how to set up the formation, and he didn't dare to make a rash decision, and it would be bad if he made a pile of rubbish.

Wu Yong and a few people left early, and set off early before noon, according to Xu Zhengze's calculations, they were twenty miles apart, forty miles back and forth, and then left some room to find someone to invite people, according to his estimate, he should be able to come back in the afternoon. But until it was time to eat, no one came back, and Xu Zhengze was a little worried. It was getting late, and he could never go out to look for it, so he could only sit and wait, and his heart was not steady, and as soon as he finished eating, he began to arrange for people to be on duty for the night.

Now the people who joined the team are arranged to live together, so that they can take care of each other, when it was completely dark, Xu Zhengze began to patrol around, at this time Wu Yong still did not come back, so he had a bad premonition, he couldn't sleep, so he took the Pei brothers and sisters out for a walk.

The night in April was a little cool, and the irritated skin had goosebumps, this night, Xu Zhengze, who had been hanging his heart, got up and turned five or six times, and did not see Wu Yong's figure, after the day was bright, he decided to eat early, went out to look for it, and at this time, Wu Yong returned to the village.

As soon as they met, Xu Zhengze sensitively found that Wu Yong's face was not good-looking and very tangled, and as for the two people who followed him, they were even more scared like quails, and there were some new injuries on their bodies, and they sighed in their hearts, Xu Zhengze hurriedly asked what was going on.

"On the way, I met a group of officers and soldiers and fought a battle." Wu Yong said sullenly, Xu Zhengze was startled, fighting with the official army, did he want to rebel?

Wu Yong had something to say, so he pulled Xu Zhengze into it alone, found a threshold and squatted down, and then frowned and said to Xu Zhengze: "I bumped into a group of thieves yesterday...... The rebels, with their help, killed and dispersed the officers and soldiers, and now they are interested in recruiting me into the gang. ”

Xu Zhengze's brain buzzed, and he was a little stunned for a while, this time the disaster was big, and he asked anxiously: "Is there anyone who escapes from the official army?" ”

"Nope."

"That's good......" Xu Zhengze breathed a sigh of relief, if the news of the killing of the official army leaked out, they wouldn't want to live in peace, "That's good, no one escaped, and the government investigated us, and they couldn't find us." ”

"There are thirty or fifty officers and soldiers in that group." Wu Yong raised his head and said with a serious expression, "All of them were ...... by that team of thieves The rebels were slaughtered. Now, they want to pull me in, brother, do you understand me? ”

How could I not understand, Xu Zhengze's face turned a little pale. Although he came from the distant 21st century, he liked to fantasize about reading novels on weekdays, but when he really faced reality, he was absolutely unwilling to join the peasant rebel army. Let's not say that the peasant uprising at the end did not succeed in the end, even if it did, he did not dare to guarantee that he would survive until that time, his martial arts were ordinary, and his skills were sparse, and he couldn't guarantee when, he would lose his life in a fight. He is still willing to be a peaceful little people.

But now, that's not possible. Killing the officials and soldiers is a rebellion, and it is the sin of killing the head, counting on the mercy of the government? How dare he, his head can't grow a second one. can only follow the rebel army, but when he thinks about following the rebel army, he has to wander around non-stop, turn to battle, and meet the encirclement and suppression of the official army all the time, the hardships in it, he shudder when he thinks about it, he really can't guarantee that he can survive a month.

It can only be said that the other party at least took a fancy to Wu Yong's martial arts, rather than treating them as cannon fodder for pure river reclamation, and he would not be treated too lightly - no, only Wu Yong, who was excellent in martial arts, could get rid of this fate.

Is there any other way? Xu Zhengze opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't ask, and he didn't believe it at all if he wanted to say that the gang didn't know where they lived. Sure enough, Wu Yong spoke: "Someone is following me, and after a while, a large group of people will come." ”

There was no other choice, the government did not dare to vote, and could only follow this group of rebels, unless they wanted to be suppressed by the other party. Xu Zhengze had no doubt that the other party could easily wipe them out, didn't he listen to what Wu Yong said just now, dozens of officers and soldiers were also killed by the other party, no matter how bad the officers and soldiers were, Xu Zhengze would not think that it would be worse than the people who had just been established for less than a month and were named "Wansheng Army" yesterday.

can only follow this rebel army, Xu Zhengze glanced at Wu Yong, and they all had sad faces.

Xu Zhengze is single, what is he afraid of, but Wu Yong still has an old lady. But so what? Can they refuse? Do they dare to refuse?

Xu Zhengze smiled miserably, thanks to his enthusiastic planning for the future yesterday, recruiting craftsmen, and happily erecting flags and poles and recruiting troops, now it seems that it is just a joke. When they left in chaos, their lives were not necessarily in their own hands, they joined the rebels, and they didn't know when their heads would be cut off, and the two of them had no choice but to comfort themselves, at least not to be beheaded now.

Because of his actions, and brought a terrible disaster to everyone, Wu Yong was very remorseful, and Xu Zhengze said a few words, ventilated, he immediately gathered people, told the matter as it was, and also made a very sincere guarantee to everyone, if you don't want to follow, hurry up now, otherwise you won't be able to leave in a while.

Yesterday was still cooking oil in a blazing fire, and today it is like nine cold winters. How many stupid people can there be in this world, and who among the common people doesn't know what the consequences of following a thief are? Most of them are cannon fodder for filling trenches, ant thieves attached to the city, and even more ruthlessly are directly made into dry food, what good results can there be? Even though many people fled with their families, there were still more than a dozen people left.

The village was busy and noisy, Xu Zhengze only watched coldly, in fact, compared to staying, escaping is not necessarily a good idea, the current world is too chaotic, not gathering people to protect themselves, it is tantamount to seeking death, but he will not open his mouth to keep people. There's no need, he can't stay at all if he wants to leave, but he will disgust the other party in vain, and besides, what stays is not much better, so why should he provoke that kind of commotion?

"If you want to vote for the other party, then a team with a certain combat effectiveness must be stronger than a group of rabble with a loose military heart." Xu Zhengze saw that no one left again, so he said to Wu Yong, if you don't show any ability, others will really use you as cannon fodder to fill the trenches.

Wu Yong also nodded again and again, very simple truth, recruiting people naturally likes to recruit those who have the ability, and the same is completely different in terms of the degree of attention, which is why Wu Yong is favored by the other party.

Under the urging of Xu Zhengze and Wu Yong, I will tell you the truth, these people who stayed behind quickly resumed their organization, and they no longer looked like they were at a loss just now, more than a dozen people, plus the Pei brothers and sisters, lined up in two neat rows, Xu Zhengze started daily training as usual, in order to get a good result, these people are also very serious and hardworking.

There was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Xu Zhengze turned around and looked, more than a dozen people in the distance were rushing towards this side, Wu Yong's face turned pale, these people really came.

"I didn't expect there to be such a talent here." The knight in the distance had already seen the queue in front of the village, and praised it idly.
