Chapter 45: Yunma Returns

Scattered all the veterans of the original Black Flag Guard and mixed them into more than 4,000 recruits, basically in a belt of four.

Half of the veterans of the original Black Flag Guard have been virtually upgraded by one level, and they will lead new recruits with veterans, and I believe that this kind of training will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort in the future.

Baili Wuji actually has another important purpose, that is, to remove the more or less residual influence of the unity army in the original Black Flag Guard, maybe the elimination will not be very thorough, but as long as there is a battle, this team will never find the shadow of the unity army.

The Black Flag Guard was expanded into twelve battalions, four battalions into one capital, and three into one army.

The command of the army is naturally held by the garrison of Baili Wuji, and the selection of the generals of the three capitals and the required captains of each battalion really cost Baili Wuji a lot of brain power.

The first capital will be in Cunzhong, which is not to be considered.

But who will be chosen for the second and third capitals? Bailiyi, Bailikang?

Wuji shook his head, these two people are the material for leading the troops, and they are also future generals, but in his heart, he still feels that they should be allowed to practice below, and it is a good choice to lead a battalion as a captain.

Baili Wuji flashed with a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of Yun and Ma who were temporarily living under his father's command, but he was a little hesitant in his heart, I don't know if the two of them would be happy to come to him, I haven't seen them for a long time, and I really miss them.

Baili Wuji wrote three letters at the same time, one to his father and two to Yun and Ma, and ordered Yacha to send them to Zigui quickly.

Twelve lieutenant candidates, in addition to the original three captains of the Black Flag Guard, Baili Wuji promoted six personal guards, and at the same time appointed Baili Yi and Baili Kang to lead a battalion each, and the last lieutenant was selected to the county lieutenant Xiong Jiben.

It took a long time to choose Xiong Jiben Wuji, but thinking of the moment when Xiong Jiben struggled, Wuji still made up his mind to hand over a battalion to him to lead.

The letter was sent three days later.

Baili Wuji, who was apprehensive in his heart, ushered in Yun Yang and Ma Jiyun.

When the yacha came to report that the two were waiting outside the yamen.

Baili Wuji found that the two of them still arrived nearly a day earlier than their estimated arrival time.

As you can imagine, the two stepped onto their mounts as soon as they received the letter.

When Wuji ran in three steps and two steps to the front of the yamen, Yunyang, Ma Jiyun and Yun had already stretched out their arms.

After the bear hugged, the three of them did not say a word.

Holding hands with each other, looking at each other and smiling, all without saying a word.

After the expansion, the Black Flag Guard has been mixed.

With Yun, Ma, and Xiong at the helm, there is no more to train for.

And Zigui County, the state capital where his father is located, will also plant sweet potatoes in the spring next year, and Wuji asked Xu Shiming to transfer the sweet potatoes out of the warehouse to arrange personnel for screening, and after that, he sent a team of Black Flag Guards to escort them to Zigui.

At the same time, let the post messenger go to the state capital to inform the departure time, so that the state government can send troops to pick up and drop off on the way. Attach a letter to explain the matters that Baili Yuanwang needs to pay attention to when promoting, such as the original crops should be planted as usual in the fields above the medium level, etc., so that a few old farmers who were planted for the first time would go to the state capital to guide the planting.

He also screened a batch of sweet potatoes and sent them to Jiangling Mansion to present them to Gao Congxue, and reported to Gao Congzhi the function of sweet potatoes and the reasons for the expansion of the township soldiers in Badong County.

As for secrecy and precautions, Mowgli doesn't need to talk to Gao Congji, Gao Congji's desire to keep sweet potatoes secret is estimated to be stronger than Mowgli's. Baili Wuji believes that at this point, the interests of the king and himself are the same.

As for whether to send sweet potato seeds to the king, in fact, in the backyard of Baili Wuji, it has been discussed no less than three times.

Each has its own opinions, each has its own opinion.

But in the end, Mowgli decided to send it to the king.

There are three reasons, one is that now that his father and son are still under the king, so the strategic materials are not dedicated to the king, which is clearly a rebellion, which is not what he wants to see, and he will fall into a bad name, and his political career will be over in this era. The second is to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes for the benefit of the people of the world, to earn some extra points for their reputation, and they only need to lead by one year. The cultivation of the three seeds does not have much technical content, as long as one flows out, it is only a matter of time before enough seeds are cultivated, and a few carts of seeds are sent to the king, and it must take a year to cultivate if he wants to plant them comprehensively, and he is already one year ahead, and it will take two or three years for the feudal towns to be in various places.

With these three reasons, there is no reason to hesitate.

As for the suggestion that sweet potatoes should be planted in inferior fields, Wuji still reported it, but it is estimated that Gao Congzhi will not adopt it, just imagine how many troops can be increased when all the three states of Jingnan are planted with sweet potatoes.

December 20 of the second year of Jin Tianfu.

Baili Wuji prepared three cars of gifts, his father and mother, Liang Zhen naturally and Gao Congzhen's Taishan father-in-law, and he also carried some small gifts for Gao Rongrong.

Chengtian Zhiquan of Yamennei County left, and his family was in Padang, and he went home to reunite with his relatives. The county lieutenant Xiong Jiben went to the barracks because he concurrently served as the captain of the third battalion, Ayi and Akang also stayed in the barracks, and the lord Bo Xu Shiming was said to be a homeless person, so he stayed in the county office. So Wuji only had Ah Ren and Wei Lan by his side, plus an old slippery head.

At this time, it was supposed to be the time for Mowgli to return to the state capital to reunite with his family. But this year is indeed not the time to save relatives, once the surrounding feudal towns know about the existence of sweet potatoes, it may happen when the arson comes to attack.

As early as a few days ago, Wuji received a letter from his father, instructing him not to go to Guizhou Province this year, and should stay in Badong County.

Therefore, all the officers and men of the Black Flag Guard on this year's festival have stepped up their training and combat readiness.

Handed over the army to Yunma Yu and the three of them for training, Baili Wuji was very relieved.

It's just that I'm still a little worried in my heart, once the five thousand soldiers start a war, the disparity in strength is huge, and the casualties are estimated to be quite tragic.

These 5,000 people are all treasures in Wuji's heart, and Baili Wuji doesn't want to see any losses, but he can't avoid it.

Baili Wuji discussed with Xu Shiming and others several times how to avoid too many losses of the Black Flag Guard, but the final conclusion was unresolved.

Judging from the distribution of the surrounding feudal towns, it is unlikely that Wu and Wu will commit more crimes.

The king has just been under Shi Jin's wing this year, and it is unlikely that Shi Jingtang will tear his face and force him to commit it, at most it is just to intimidate Gao Congjin to donate seeds.

As for Nanchu, Ma Gongzi had a lot of fun, even if he wanted to attack, there was also the king Gao Congzhi who was on his back, and he couldn't return to the state for the time being.

Only Houshu Mengchang, who has been operating Houshu for two generations, has a solid foundation, a vast land and abundant resources, and his strength is by no means resistible by relying on a small return.

But there is one thing that Baili Wuji understands.

Although the elephant is big, it is bulky and unbearable, and there is Shi Jin in Xishu who is eyeing him, and he does not dare to use most of his troops to invade Guizhou.

As long as you concentrate your strength a little bit, and blitz it somewhere with lightning speed, you will definitely be able to succeed.

The point is that this blow should fall on its vital point, so that it will not be able to recover for at least a while, and it will not be able to continue to attack.
