Inspired by what Zhang Yu said, Wu Wei couldn't help but think of the fierce battle that killed Gao Yingxiang at the beginning, and the other side was all cavalry, and there were many Hui horse thieves and Mongols among them. Those people were fierce and fierce, and they were skilled in bows and horses, which left a deep impression on Wu Wei. If such a horse thief has thousands of people, it is a force to be reckoned with on the grassland, and it is used to deal with a grain team of this size in front of him, it is simply a knife used to kill chickens, and it is no wonder that Zhang Yu is so jealous when he mentions them.

During the Ming Dynasty, Gansu and Ningxia both belonged to Shaanxi Province, and these two places were the traditional Chinese horse production areas, and horse thieves accounted for a large proportion of the rogue in these two places. The ethnic origin of the horse thieves is also very mixed, Hui, Salar, Dongxiang, Mongolian, Han people, of course, the most is still Hui # people, speaking of which, these people are the ancestors of the Ma family army during the Republic of China! Although almost all of Gao Yingxiang's troops were annihilated, there are still quite a few strong equestrian people in the "Two Kings" team, most of these people surrendered to Wu Wei, and the rough estimate is no less than four or five thousand!

Horse thieves are generally the henchmen of the leaders of the various bandits, and the equipment treatment is the highest among the bandits, Rao is so, and only a small half of them are armored, which is basically based on light cavalry, except for a few leaders who are equipped with armor, and there is basically no heavily armored cavalry in the formation.

The Ansai battalion is the head of the infantry battalion, originally there were only more than 20 cavalry, all of them were used as scouts, all of them were baby bumps, and now with so many cavalry sources, Wu Wei was overjoyed, and he established his own cavalry battalion on this basis. There are quite a few unruly people among these former rogues, and if one is not careful, they will backfire on the new master. Therefore, he set strict screening and screening conditions, excluding those who were slippery and slippery, and who did not obey military discipline, and gave priority to those who were honest and simple, dragging their families and mouths, and this time narrowed the selection by more than half.

Rao is so, because there are too many candidates, the newly recruited former horse thieves and the original old scout team, or lightly build a cavalry team of thousands of people. As soon as these people were hired, they automatically received the treatment of the former sergeants of the Ansai battalion. A generous salary is paid every month. The family arranges employment, allocates welfare housing, and has meat for three meals a day, and if you can't finish eating, you can take it back to give your wife and children a tooth sacrifice. There were quite a few commissaries built within the army. Grains, oils, rice, noodles, meat, vegetables, eggs, milk, and so on. They are all supplied to their designated points at cost price, which is a large cut below the market price, which is equivalent to becoming a regular employee of a state-owned enterprise with a unit!

Using a package of benefits to restrain the team is Wu Wei's trick from the 21st century. The temptation to live a prosperous life is great in any era, and in this land of northern Shaanxi, where the standard of living is extremely low and everyone is struggling for their lives, this trick is even more invincible. Not only do the hired former horse thieves not have to be as precarious as when they were wandering around, but their wives and children can be fed and clothed, raise their heads and be human beings, and they don't have to bear the reputation of being a thief and a thief, and their children can also read and write in the school for free, and they can engage in decent careers in the future, and they don't have to be illiterate warriors like themselves

Not surprisingly, these former horse thieves, who were still confused and worried about their unknown fate not long ago, were all very excited when they learned that they had been hired by the cavalry battalion and heard the captain read aloud the new treatment they had received.

However, this trick seems simple, but except for Wu Wei, no one can really afford to play, this is equivalent to establishing a complete welfare system according to the standards of the modern army, the cost is staggering, and it is enough to expand the strength of more than ten times the number of troops in other generals.

But the army cultivated in this way, the benefits are also very obvious, first of all, everyone benefits from this welfare system, if someone wants to betray Wu Wei, I am afraid that his subordinates will be the first to tie him up and ask for credit, which makes it impossible for the opponent to take a higher price to win over his generals.

Secondly, it is easier for soldiers raised with a lot of money to maintain strict military discipline, and they can establish a sense of honor as a professional soldier. Those nine-sided soldiers called Hanako can't eat enough, and it is not empty talk to maintain military discipline and combat effectiveness!

The last and biggest advantage is to be able to keep a low profile, the elite strategy can effectively hide their strength, so as not to arouse suspicion from all sides, after all, no matter how good you are, thousands of people are not a threatening number, which is very in line with Wu Wei's current strategic policy of Taoguang and obscurity, burying his head in great development.

As a college student who has just graduated from the 21st century, his various ability indicators are quite wasteful, except for the good level of basketball, other abilities are lackluster, and he can't rely on a little white face to be domineering and leaky, attracting the world's heroes to bow down.

The only advantage is that you can use the light gate to pour materials and equipment, and make a little more money than the people of this era

Rambo has a sentence in "First Blood", in the jungle, I am the king. A hero is a person who brings out his or her strengths to the extreme. Wu Wei is not like other traversers who are born to know everything as soon as they come up, and they can't share the secrets of Guangmen with others.

From the beginning to sprinkle a lot of grain, to later sprinkle a lot of money, as long as the sugar-coated cannonball is a big killer, it will be invincible, and gradually Wu Wei will naturally form a dependence on using money and grain to solve the problem.

But this is not entirely a bad thing, Wu Wei found in practice that this trick is quite effective, compared to any national righteousness, loyalty and patriotism are better, after all, most of the people he faces are illiterate farmers, for them, being the emperor is to chop wood with a golden axe and eat white rice every day, and tell them what loyalty and righteousness serve the country, and the great truth of digging rats must be spit on their faces. You fucking eat oil and wear silk, let the old men go to Luoqi to dig mice!

But at the same time, they are also the most rustic group, and if you keep them fed and clothed, they will be desperate and sell their lives to you.

The world is bustling. All for profit, the world is for profit, all for profit, and using interests to drive people to serve is the most direct and efficient way.

Of course, Wu Wei's ultimate goal is to build an army of faith, just like the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, which can trek 25,000 miles and the German army that swept most of Europe, cannot be dragged or defeated. Propaganda and education such as the Liao people showed up to say the law. Cultivate the simple nationalist consciousness of the soldiers, but in the end he finds that this qiē has little effect, and the spiritual pillar that maintains the entire army is actually the fanatical worship of himself!

But Wu Wei thinks this is not bad. Black cat, white cat. A good cat is one who catches mice. As long as it can play a role in the cohesion of the troops, the cult of personality will be worshipped, didn't Lao Mao also use this trick back then. Isn't it impressive, laying down the flowers of the Red Dynasty? And the cult of personality is also beneficial, after all, most of the armies in this era emphasize that soldiers are generals, and soldiers' personal loyalty to generals is a moral and ethical worthy of praise.

Seeing that it was still early, Wu Wei did not return to the post station, and first took Zhao Wenzhuo and others to the station of the accompanying soldiers of the Ansai camp.

There are hundreds of sergeants who went to Ansai with Wu Wei, and the open mobilization of a team of this size is tantamount to rebellion, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, everyone is dressed in regular clothes, pretending to be bodyguards, and now the local generals are tight, and hundreds of people are guarding at every turn, which is normal in the eyes of everyone, as long as it is not openly armed to cross the border, the local government will turn a blind eye.

Before arriving at the camp, Wu Shiyi led a group of guards to greet him, hugged his fists and said, "Tell your lordship, those homeless people have been settled." After a pause, he said: "A total of 579 people were captured and robbed of rice, and they were willing to go with us when they heard that they could eat enough, and according to the meaning of the adults, only more than 30 people were left after screening, except for a few who could read and write, most of the others were strong men who begged for a living on the dock, and they would be good soldiers after a few full meals!" Speaking of this, I couldn't help but blush with excitement. Many of these displaced people are dock coolies, and those who are not in good health have long been eliminated, and the rest are those who are strong and strong.

"Oh, yes, do you have a family? Others are also good to be dismissed. Wu Wei nodded, approving Wu Shiyi's approach.

More than half of them had families, and according to the instructions of the adults, I told them and took them on the road. They were all so grateful that they wanted to kowtow to the adults. Wu Shiyi said with a smile, "The others also did as the adults ordered, and each of them gave a bucket of grain and let them go by themselves." ”

"Well, that's good." Wu Wei nodded with satisfaction, Wu Shiyi himself was born as a homeless and an orphan, he has feelings for the poor people, and he is the best person to implement the mass policy.

Recruiting people along the way is also a predetermined policy, first, the recruited personnel are generally higher, after all, the choice is wide, and secondly, it is also to learn the spark of the great man's tricks, which can set the prairie on fire, and send these people back to their hometowns at a critical time, and it is also much more convenient to be familiar with the way, which can also be regarded as an idle chess cold, and it is a rainy day.

There is no fence in the camp, all of them are cowhide tents, and the largest one in the middle is the place where the army deliberates, which is also the rule of the Ansai camp. Wu Wei walked towards the big tent, everyone followed behind Wu Wei, and when he was about to reach the door of the tent, Wu Wei stopped, nodded sideways to Wu Shiyi, and lifted the curtain and walked into the big tent. Everyone understood, knowing that Wu Wei was going to talk to Wu Shiyi alone, so they all stopped and looked at Wu Shiyi with envy and jealousy. Wu Shiyi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Wu Wei's signal, and hurriedly followed in, and several pro-soldiers were separated from each other outside the tent, holding the handle of the knife, and consciously started to guard against it, avoiding idle people from approaching.

Wu Wei glanced at the tent, the facilities were quite simple, only a square table and a few Maza, he was not picky, he found a Mazha and sat down, raised his hand to beckon Wu Shiyi to sit down.

Wu Shiyi was apprehensive in his heart, leaned over and sat down, looking at Wu Wei with blank eyes.

Wu Wei said with a smile: "My own people, don't be so nervous, relax." After a pause, as if he had made up his mind, he said in a deep voice: "I have something to tell you, you may not be able to stay with me." ”

Wu Shiyi was shocked, and immediately got up from the horse, knelt on one knee, and his eyes were red. "Your Excellency doesn't want me anymore? I, I," he said with a crying voice.

Seeing him like this, Wu Wei smiled and said, "Hurry up, what does a big man look like like this!" You misunderstood, it's not that you don't want you, but there is another reuse! Seeing that he was so loyal to him, he was also quite moved, and got up and came over to help Wu Shiyi.

Wu Shiyi was suspicious, struggled slightly, slowly stood up with the strength in Wu Wei's hand, and said, "The villain is willing to die for the adult!" Adults have a life, and villains go to the soup and fire, and they don't give up! ”

Wu Wei looked into his eyes, put away his smile, and said: "This matter is a heavy responsibility, and it is extremely dangerous, you can't do it unless you are brave and resourceful, except for you, I don't know who else can do it." ”

When Wu Shiyi heard this, he put his heart at ease, laughed, and said: "The villain's life was picked up by an adult, even if he dies, what is it worth, what is it worth, I am afraid that I will not be able to repay the kindness of the adult!" ”

"Actually, it's not complicated, to put it bluntly, it's to spend money."

"Please make it clear."

"Go buy me a few horse thieves" (to be continued......)
