Shocked by the death of two people, and learning that there was food at night, the mob settled down.

Some went back to the Baron's Court to see if there was anything missing; Some others still followed without giving up, for fear that Chen Wu and them would secretly hide these grains. Even though they were transported to the middle of the town and covered with a rudimentary grain shed, they still refused to leave. It's as if just looking at it can relieve the hunger in their stomachs and give them peace of mind.

Chen Wu didn't bother to pay attention to these people.

With the initial internal pacification of Changshan Town, he began a series of actions for the formation of the Rebel Army.

First of all, recruit!

Three or four thousand homeless people, just with him and Dian Wei, there is no way to manage it. Of course, it is impossible to train these farmers in a hurry. He and Dian Yong visited the Sun family and the Li family again, half persuasive, half threatening, so that each of the two families had more than a dozen young people.

The leader of the Sun family is none other than Sun Tian, who is good friends with Chen Wu. With this friendship, it would undoubtedly be more convenient for Chen Wu's envoy to arouse them.

The Li family is a man named Li Zishi, who is said to have been named because he was born when he was born.

Compared with Sun Tian, although Li Zishi's seniority is high, he is a side branch in the Li family, and he has nothing to do with several family members. Obviously, although the Li family was forced to send people, they were not optimistic about them in their hearts. But no matter what, with these thirty or forty people at hand to obey orders, it would be much easier for Chen Wu to do things.

After a little reorganization, he sent a team of people to block the road from Changshan Town to Yicheng.

With the passage of time and the gradual recovery of their senses, the people of Changshan Town who participated in the riot must have had a lot of regrets and fears, and even went to Yicheng overnight to report the news. There may not be many of them, but even one of them must be stopped. Although the Yicheng government will know the news sooner or later, it is good that it can only be delayed for five or six days. By the time those officials and old men found out that something was wrong, sent people down to find out the news, and then went back to prepare for counterinsurgency, Chen Wu had already organized an army of displaced people and began to move.

At that time, with the strength of a mere county town, it will not be able to stop it at all.

As for the road to other directions, Chen Wu ignored it. However, every homeless person is his power, and in order to prevent a private escape, Chen Wu ordered Sun Tian to bring a few people who were familiar with the situation in the town and order a meal every evening before dinner. If there are few people, their families and neighboring households will be severely punished, and they will be rewarded with food for reporting. Just these two points, the people of the entire Changshan Town will spy on each other.

Of course, this is only a precautionary measure.

Now that there is so much looted food in the town, most of the people are counting on a full meal and will not leave in a hurry, and they also know that the efficiency of the government is not so high.

After arranging these two items, Chen Wu and Dian Yong discussed the plan to expand the army non-stop.

Even if they coerce the displaced people to attack the official army, the two of them must always have an elite on hand that can be suppressed and can have the strength to fight at critical moments. According to Chen Wu's meaning, the more than 3,000 people in the town, excluding women, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, can draw at least six or seven hundred strong laborers. Among them, he is ready to strive for excellence, and select two hundred people from them to form a reliable force.

As for the military system, the players in "Empire" have a variety of tricks, and they have all kinds of formations. But Chen Wu had no intention of messing around, and was ready to continue to use the standards of the Qianyuan Empire.

A team of 10 people, a team of 100 people, and a team of 1,000 people.

These two hundred people are two brigades, and Chen Wu does not plan to set up a captain for the time being, but will be under his command and supervision first. In addition, he will draw some additional equestrian people to form a horse team. Although it is impossible to count on much combat power in a short period of time, it is a good hand for chasing down fugitives or seeking information.

The role of this horse team is undoubted, as the prototype of the future light cavalry, Chen Wu will also personally intervene in the formation.

As the foundation of the uprising, the expansion of the army and the recruitment of people is undoubtedly the top priority at the moment. But Chen Wu knew very well that among the mobs in Changshan Town at the moment, there were not many people who were determined to rebel. Especially today, I got so much food, which made many people have the idea of mixing one day at a time. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to force people to join immediately, but asked Dian Yong to take the remaining twenty or so young men sent by the Sun and Li families to train first. I don't want them to have much combat power in a hurry, as long as they can understand a simple line of troops and know how to act according to orders.

This requirement is not too simple for the world before the crossing. Junior high school students who have undergone military training can do a good job by pulling out any one. But for these peasants who can't read a single word, trying to make them understand the left and right and the queue, even the most basic things, is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Without consistent training, it is simply impossible.

Dian Yong also knows this, although he is in a hurry, he can always teach slowly with patience. Because of the method of leading the troops that he learned from the art of war, even if it is just a paper battle, he does a pretty good job. Although there was no result in just half a day, there was such a person to help at the beginning of the incident, and it was a method that could be called a regular army, which undoubtedly helped Chen Wu a lot and saved him a lot of time to do other things.

Rebellion is easy to say, but there are only two words, but there are too many things to consider when doing it.

In ancient times, those successful uprisings were often a well-organized preparation for more than ten years or even longer, before they could set off a huge momentum in one fell swoop. Chen Wu single-handedly, even if he borrowed the general trend of history, it was still too difficult to succeed. Throughout the afternoon, he was busy with various things. Arrange for the living baron's family and the soldiers of the city defense battalion to be collected, to have their weapons and armor repaired, to count the horsemen who know how to play and the hunters who are good at shooting, and to arrange for the women of the town to prepare for the feast of flowing water tonight......

Especially the last one.

He wanted to give beauty and hope to those who participated in the riot during the day, and then destroy it completely overnight, so that they could be completely cornered. For this reason, Chen Wu did not hesitate to take out all the meat he had seized today - anyway, it would be burned after today, and it was better to eat it directly than to waste it, so that they could increase their strength.

In addition, the contradiction between the displaced people of Ganding Province and the locals of Changshan Town is also a point that can be exploited.

Seeing Sun Tian return with someone, Chen Wu beckoned to him.

The friend in front of him, who has been playing since he was a child, was rescued by Chen Wu because he was at the age of blood and strength, and after seeing Chen Wu's appearance today, he couldn't help but admire him very much, and even his father secretly told him to "keep his distance" behind him. Seeing Chen Wu calling him, Sun Tian didn't say a word, and trotted over, looking quite excited.

For him, the rebellion or something has only been heard of in the stories told by storytellers in Yicheng, and it is a legend that has no intersection with real life. And when this legend appeared beside him in person, the characteristic impulse and fearlessness of young people, as well as the desire for wealth and fame, burst out in the blood and incitement. If there are really people in the town who are looking forward to rebelling against him, Sun Tian is undoubtedly one of them.

"When you eat at night, you take someone to do this......"

Chen Wu told him twice to make sure that Sun Tian would understand, and then let the other party leave to prepare. As for Sun Tian's doubts about this move, Chen Wu did not explain to him, and there was no need to explain.

This young man, who is still very simple, just needs to do what he says.

It was past six o'clock in the evening.

Although the sun has set, the remnants of the scorching heat are still there, and the hot and dry ground exudes a trace of heat, turning the entire Changshan town into a large steamer. At this time in the past, after finishing their work, most of the townspeople moved stools to sit under the trees, shook their cattails to cool off, and talked about some trivial matters.

But today is different.

Almost all of them gathered in the middle of the town, snorting while inhaling the smell of meat wafting in. In the middle of the town, dozens of makeshift cauldrons are burning firewood underneath. Some pots are steamed with white rice mixed with sorghum; others are fried bacon; The rest is a soup with dried fish, beans and a handful of wild vegetables.

Bacon white rice, and a bowl of fish soup poured over!

Even in a good harvest year, this is the top food that the townspeople of Changshan can eat, and they can eat it twice during the New Year, ancestor worship and other major events. In such a once-in-a-decade famine year, you can't even eat a meal every day, and it's a dream to be able to eat such a dish and rice. The expectation of it even suppressed these people's fear of rebellion and government encirclement and suppression.
