First, he knows that his ability is limited, but he is well-informed and has martial arts, and he does not have much ability to fight in battle formations; Second, he also wanted to live a stable life and raise his young daughter to adulthood. The arrival of Wang Zhongfeng and others undoubtedly enabled him to get what he wanted.

Sure enough, after the simple polite words, Mu Yi made such a request.

Meng Jiucheng groaned and bowed his head slightly, since he had expected it, he was also a little prepared.

"More than a dozen acres of land, a house. Brother Mu still has to farm by himself? Meng Jiucheng shook his head with a smile and said, "I still have to rely on Brother Mu's ability, but I can't be a farmer." ”

Mu Yi was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, and said: "How can a certain family have any ability, the general praised it." ”

Meng Jiucheng smiled and said: "I intend to form a local militia group, work when I am busy, train in my spare time, and be responsible for catching thieves and robbers and maintaining law and order. In this way, the regular army could be liberated and concentrated on foreign conquests. Brother Mu's ability, isn't it more than enough to be the head coach of the militia group? It's just that I have to go to the villages often to make rounds, which is a bit hard. ”

Mu Yi's military talent is not as good as Wang Zhongfeng and others, and the training of regular military strength has not been caught, but the militia volunteers, that is, the militia, only need some simple training, and he is still competent. Hearing Meng Jiucheng say this, he also understood.

Being the chief instructor of a militia regiment is not only a simple military training for reserve soldiers, but also has the responsibility of maintaining local law and order, and it is equivalent to the head of a horse bow. If you want to talk about power, it's still quite big. The key is to have an official position, so you will naturally have salary, and you don't have to work hard.

"The general takes care of a certain family, how can a certain family not know." Mu Yi arched his hand gratefully and said, "In this case, a certain family has shyly accepted this mission. ”

"There are many women among the homeless people, and Brother Mu should choose a virtuous person to take care of the housework." Meng Jiucheng persuaded euphemistically: "It's a little inappropriate to read Ci and still be young, and go around with Brother Mu. ”

Mu Yi smiled bitterly and was noncommittal.

"And Xiaowei." Meng Jiucheng continued: "My seventh master and Wanyan Linglong, well, have changed their surname to Ming, and they will call her Ming Niangzi in the future." They would be responsible for recruiting women, or forming a military medical guard battalion, or organizing handmade women to earn some money. If Xiaowei is willing, she can help. In the future, there will be no danger without fighting. ”

Mu Yi nodded and said, "Well, it depends on what Xiaowei means." A certain family thinks that she will most likely agree, and it is not her wish to fight and kill. ”

"At the beginning of the formation of the militia group, it must be a lot of hard work, and when Brother Mu selects the available people to serve as coaches in the militia groups in various villages and towns, it will be easy to come down. Go to patrol and check from time to time, and regularly concentrate on drills, and there will not be many thieves and thieves. Meng Jiucheng paused and continued: "The relevant regulations will be drafted by me, and Brother Mu can use it as a reference. ”

"The general thought carefully and worked out the charter, and a certain family implemented it, and there was no mistake." Mu Yi was half admiring and half complimenting, of course, the contact time was not short, and he really admired Meng Jiucheng's ability.

"Brother Mu has won the prize." Meng Jiucheng smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Tomorrow, Brother Mu will pick out ten familiar soldiers from the army as his subordinates, and then start forming a militia group!" The headquarters of the militia is temporarily located in Zhukou Town, and the house in the town was given to Brother Mu, which is my gratitude to Brother Mu, but don't dislike it! ”

"Thank you, General." Mu Yi was not hypocritical and thanked him.

Although Zhukou Town is not as big as Crossroads Town, it now belongs to the rear, radiating outward with this as the center, and it is the first villages occupied by Meng Jiucheng. Judging from the length of time, these villages were the first to implement the new policy, which can be regarded as a good foundation. From here, the work will be smoother and you will be able to accumulate some experience.

Mu Yi saw that the matter was decided, so he got up and left. Meng Jiucheng sent him out of the garden before turning around and coming back.

The regular army, the guerrillas, the militia, this is the successful model of the "trinity" in later generations. But at the time, copying was inappropriate.

Therefore, Meng Jiucheng made a change, and only the regular army and militia groups were retained.

In the future, the militia will not only provide reserve soldiers, but also play the role of local security and law and order. Although there are many functions, the cost is not large. The militia, who are part-time in production, does not interfere with farming and work, and will actively participate in it as long as there is a slight preferential policy.

As for the arrangement for Mu Yi, it is not only Meng Jiucheng's gratitude, but also an example. Faithfully follow him, there are indispensable benefits, he remembers them, and he will take care of them.

…………

Time flies, and a few days go by.

With the completion of the handling of complicated affairs, Meng Jiucheng gradually handed over the government affairs to Zhu Ming and others, and only needed to listen to the report and put forward some suggestions for adjustment and improvement, and he could gradually concentrate his energy on military affairs without having to do it himself.

The training and preparation of the army is still in full swing, Wang Zhongfeng, Xiao Ying, Han Shouzhong, and Zheng Si'an have become the four pillars of the army, and Meng Jiucheng's expectations for the soldiers are gradually being realized.

The equipment of officers and soldiers has changed, and Meng Jiucheng, the chief general, naturally has people thinking about him.

Wang Zhongfeng was very attentive to this apprentice, not only instructing him in martial arts, but also constantly urging Meng Jiucheng to practice riding.

You know, jumping on the ground and making a gun stick is very different from galloping on a horse. Therefore, the martial arts at that time were usually divided into two types: immediate and step.

When fighting on horseback, there are few opportunities to attack and dodge, and the fight can be instantaneous, and the movement is also very limited. It is definitely a difficult technical task to not only kill and drive the horse, not only to protect yourself, but also to take care of the horse as much as possible.

"This is a good horse that your fifth master has chosen for you." Wang Zhongfeng pointed to the horses and said to Meng Jiucheng with a smile: "I don't obey him, I only like the kung fu of horses and horses, this Khitan is indeed very powerful." ”

Meng Jiucheng looked at the horse under his crotch from time to time, and it didn't look like he was very smart and spiritual. But the master said so, and the fifth master also said that it has great potential, so it shouldn't be bad, right?

But what about the potential? I've been riding for a long time, why haven't I seen it yet? It looks like it's not very obedient. Meng Jiucheng began to wonder if the method was wrong, if he could travel thousands of miles a day and eight hundred at night; Or if your IQ rises and you become a spiritual pet, you can say something personal, that's awesome!

But Meng Jiucheng could only think about it, although this horse had a bit of a problem with his attitude, he didn't give him too much trouble. Pack people walking, their own work, this understanding is estimated to still exist.

"Master, the apprentice knows that when the battle is fought, the horse is the legs of the general, and the unity of man and horse can be like an arm and a finger, invincible." Meng Jiucheng asked with some doubts: "What can be done?" ”

"That's why your fifth master wants you to train this horse yourself." Wang Zhongfeng smiled and said: "The horse is human, and it takes time for the rider and the war horse to have the same heart. You don't have to rush, take your time. ”

Meng Jiucheng laughed twice, the unity of people and horses, just to have a good relationship with this guy everywhere? But when he saw that the horse also turned his head and snorted, he seemed to agree.
