In Baijia Village, the three captured representatives stationed in the village were put into private prisons and kept under strict supervision under Bai Bao's orders. In the Baijia Village Council Hall, Bai Bao and his group were discussing what to do with the goods. At this time, a clan elder broke into the hall and said angrily to Bai Bao, "Bai Bao! Who gave you the audacity to plunder the goods of the officers and soldiers without deliberation? Do you know how much trouble you can get into by doing this? I've gotten the news that Jimo's commander Zhang Yiheng has found some clues! Someone is being sent to inquire about the news near our Baijia Village! If they find out, we'll be doomed! ”

Bai Bao explained, "Uncle! Don't worry! This time we did it cleanly and guaranteed that no horses were left behind! Besides, things have already happened, no matter how anxious you are, it won't help, you are old, we will find a way to solve it! ”

The clan elder was even more angry: "You rough blank! You know a hammer! This neighborhood has the strength to do it in Baijia Village, and people don't have to think that the first thing to suspect is us! What's more, you still have a mouth alive! Do what you do! Do you understand? ”

Bai Bao was a little ashamed when he heard this, and said, "I'll send someone to kill those three people!" Then he picked up the knife and went out.

"Stop! You're done now! Let's keep these three people! Maybe it will be of some use in the future! The clan elder shouted

"Now it's imperative to find a way to solve this matter! People already have suspicions, you can't hide, you must prepare a way out, our Baijia Village still has a few small boats in Jiaozhou Bay, I have already sent someone to control it! Prepare for the next few days, let's pack up our things and evacuate immediately! ”

Bai Bao was shocked: "Uncle! It doesn't have to be this way! We're not here yet, haven't the officers and soldiers found out what we did? ”

The clan elder looked at Bai Bao with disappointment in his eyes, "You still don't admit that you are stupid, the old man eats more salt than you eat rice, and now you are offending ordinary people?" That's a big man who kills decisively! Just like a heroic man like Qi Dashuai a few decades ago! Looking at his actions, whether it is to suppress bandits or love the people, it is the same as Qi Dashuai, the elders know that we are going to have a great big man in Jiaozhou again, but you are a fool and you are going to offend others, and now if you don't run, you will die! ”

Bai Bao listened to the words of the clan elder and said with some dissatisfaction: "Uncle! You also look up to that salt official surnamed Liu too much! Isn't it just that there are a few thieves under his command to match the army? What's the big deal! ”

The clan elder sighed and said, "If you still recognize me as an uncle, you will do as I say!" ”

Bai Bao saw the solemnity of what the old man said, so he had no choice but to reply, "Uncle! It's not that I don't want to do what you say, but we haven't received the money yet! ”

The clan elder glanced at Bai Bao, shook his head, and said, "You were used as a gun!" Still want to collect money? In less than three days, the officers and troops will come over! Kiko! You arrange for the old and weak to pack up their things and leave quickly! ”

Liu Fan has not been idle in the past two days, except for asking Wang Yong to inquire about the news, that is, he accompanied the father and daughter of the Zhang family to visit the training of the Broken Army, and they were both amazed and amazed by such a strict and novel training method of the Broken Army! Liu Fan explained to them: "Our Broken Army is mainly trained according to the Swiss phalanx, a military power in the West!" ”

Zhang Yao was surprised: "What is Switzerland?" Is it as big as a Franc machine? ”

"It's about the same size! Anyway, they are all small countries, not as big as our Shandong! The population is only a million! When Switzerland was first founded, there were only thirteen small cities, and it was estimated that it was not as big as Jiaozhou, and at that time they were poor with only a spear and nothing else, so they had to work as mercenaries for other countries to make a living! Liu Fan explained

"What is a mercenary?" Before Zhang Yao could speak, Lu'er on the side hurriedly asked

For Lu'er, a lively little girl, Liu Fan has been very familiar with it in the past two days, and patiently explained: "Mercenaries! As the name suggests, I was hired by someone! They survive by helping others fight! This is an army made specifically for killing, killing and war are all they have in their lives, and they have spent their time in battle from the moment they step into the battlefield until they die. The long period of fighting has cultivated the good military qualities and mature fighting skills of the Swiss soldiers, and in the western battlefields, they are almost invincible, and even the same number of hoplites dare not take their edge. ”

"Heavy cavalry? Is it similar to the Iron Floating Massacre in the Song Dynasty? Zhang Yao said sharply

Liu Fan's eyes lit up, and he admired this beautiful and smart girl a little: "Sister Yao'er, Bingxue is smart, and you can see through it at a glance, it is a heavy cavalry with armor all over her body and a war horse like Tiefutu!" ”

"Our Breakers are trained according to the Swiss Phalanx, which has the advantage of being very cost-effective, after all, a spear costs less than a few dollars, which is very suitable for the initial Breakers. The disadvantage is that it requires long-term training to maintain a relatively strong combat effectiveness! Therefore, the Broken Army is training almost every day," Liu Fan almost revealed his old bottom in order to please the beauties.

Zhang Yao was puzzled: "Then it won't save money!" The amount of food consumed by a soldier every day is a huge amount! It's not as good as Qi Dashuai's mandarin duck array! ”

Zhang Yiheng listened for a long time and interjected, "If a soldier wants to become an invincible elite soldier, strict military discipline and training are prerequisites, and Jimin did it right!" Under the same conditions, it is better to train soldiers first than to add weapons first, after all, no matter how good a weapon is, it must be used by powerful people! The weapons of the Ming army are not bad, but they still can't beat Jianyu, the fundamental reason is that they lack training, and they are not as skilled as the nomads who grew up on horseback! ”

Liu Fan sighed: "Yes! The agricultural civilization of the Ming Dynasty was inherently at a disadvantage in the nomadic civilization of Jianyu, how could a full-time farmer compare to a grassland hunter who hunted for a living? The only thing to rely on is the population and advanced technology! ”

"Brother Liu knows a lot! Even that Western country knows how good! Lu'er exclaimed

Seeing the little girl's adoring look, Liu Fan said with some embarrassment: "No! Actually, I just read a few more books! I've never been to the West either! All this is known from the mouths of some missionaries! ”

Zhang Yao also said with some admiration: "I have long heard my father say that Brother Liu is knowledgeable, and when I saw it today, he really deserved his reputation!" ”

Liu Fan was just about to be modest, but he saw Wang Yong rushing over in the distance, and saluted, "My lord!" I have already found out that the matter of the salt transport team is indeed the work of Baijia Village, and one of my brothers followed up and found that some people had gone to sea by boat, and secretly followed them before they heard some conversations, and only then did they confirm that they were secretly transferring the old and weak. ”

When Liu Fan heard this, he excitedly said, "I finally found them!" Pass me the order! The Breaker Army immediately assembled and headed for Baijia Village! Be sure to surround Baijia Village within one day! Don't let anyone slip through the net! Then he said to the father and daughter of the Zhang family, "Uncle! Sister Yao'er, Sister Lu'er, let's go and have a look! ”
