Du Lisan is not stupid at all, if he wants to get ahead in officialdom, he must be supported by someone. Now he can mix up a seven-rank official is all with the help of Lord Tongzhi, although now there is a shortage of people under Lord Tongzhi to appoint a leader of horse bandits to serve as an official, but if he does not show loyalty to Lord Tongzhi, sooner or later he will be marginalized.

Du Lisan's scheming attributes are not high, and he does not have the discipline of Yang Du and Wu Peifu, anyway, it is in his best interest to be loyal to Lord Tongzhi now, so he will show his loyalty first. If you find that you have no future one day, it's a big deal to change jobs and find another alien to serve you, and you won't lose anything to yourself.

If Du Lisan knew that Chen Hao had the Emperor's Heart Technique, he would have been more cautious, but unfortunately he didn't know. After he joined Chen Hao, his power and scheming were not as high as Chen Hao, and the emperor's mental skills would imperceptibly affect him, and he could no longer afford to rebel.

This is the power of the top scheming stunt, the average player has to consider the NPC's discipline when subduing the NPC, with the emperor's mental stunt, Chen Hao, who has a lower scheming than himself, does not have to worry about betrayal at all.

It's an art to make your NPCs work and be loyal. After recruiting NPCs, players also have to improve the loyalty of NPCs through rewards, promotions, etc., and the higher the loyalty of NPCs, the harder they work.

Even if Chen Hao had the special skill of the Emperor's Heart Technique to ensure that the NPC would not betray, he would not dare to treat the NPC harshly. If the loyalty of the NPC drops too much, although it will not betray because of the influence of the Emperor's mental art, it is definitely possible to do such a thing as passive sabotage.

After Du Lisan took the initiative to show his loyalty, several other horse bandit leaders soon woke up and expressed their loyalty to Chen Hao. Several horse bandit leaders who served as President Qian were all leaders of a large number of horse bandits, except for Du Lisan, the growth potential of other horse bandit leaders was average, and Chen Hao would not be reused in the future.

If Du Lisan was not the first to show loyalty, Chen Hao would also find an excuse to let him serve as the commander of the elite battalion, and Du Lisan's loyalty just made him not have to make excuses. He smiled at the leader of the horse bandits and said: "Thank you for supporting Chen, it's just that there is only one battalion in the elite battalion, Du Qianhu is the first to express his position, and this battalion head will be commanded by Du Qianhu for the time being!" ”

After the meeting was dismissed, Chen Hao immediately arranged for people to go to each battalion to select the elite, and if all the backbones were withdrawn, the combat effectiveness of the five battalions merged would be abolished. When Chen Hao arranged Du Lisan's selection, he asked not to look at the level but only the growth potential. Soldiers with good attributes but limited growth potential all stay in the battalion, while soldiers with high growth potential can join the elite battalion even if they are only more than ten levels.

Du Lisan can't tell which soldiers have high potential, but Yang Du can, as a top NPC, Yang Du has three stunts. Emperor Xinxue is Yang Du's A-level stunt, in addition to this, Chen Hao also knows that he has a B-level stunt "eyesight", which people have a future that is worth cultivating and can't escape his fiery eyes.

Du Lisan was full of energy, and secretly congratulated himself that he saw the opportunity and quickly became a confidant of Tongzhi adults. He personally went to each battalion to select potential soldiers, and with the help of Yang Du, all the potential soldiers in each battalion were selected into the elite barracks, and those with stunts were not spared.

Every player has stunts, but not many NPCs have stunts, and more than 90% of ordinary soldiers have no stunts. Chen Hao selected potential elites from thousands of horse bandits as reserves, and then selected elite soldiers from the reserves after establishing a base area, so that he could ensure that the private soldiers he was paid for by the army were definitely elite soldiers.

Chen Hao appointed Du Lisan as the Zhengliu Pinwei Qianhu, and everyone in his jurisdiction recognized Du Lisan's status, but in fact Du Lisan's position was not recognized by the imperial court. Du Lisan didn't understand this, and when he officially served as Wei Qianhu, he showed his loyalty to Chen Hao with interest, and became another NPC who followed Chen Hao.

Du Lisan's rank is level 40, which is a well-known figure in history, because he has served as a horse bandit leader and has political attributes. His political attributes are a mess, except for 45 points for conspiracy, the other items are the lowest value of 40 points. Commander Da Xiang Li Du Lisan's strategic analysis is only 48 points, which is not talented in this area, but his tactical execution has 56 points, which is not bad.

To Chen Hao's surprise, Du Lisan had a commander stunt, which was not very useful for fighting a war but was very practical. Looting: Commander perk, the loot obtained when leading troops in battle is increased by 10%, and there is a 5% chance that the reputation of the faction will decrease in the looted area.

The robbery stunt is very much in line with Du Lisan's identity, and the horse bandit is best at doing this, but this stunt has a negative impact. If Du Lisan led the team to fight, this stunt could increase the spoils of war, and if he led his troops to loot ordinary people everywhere and affect his reputation, it would be more than worth the loss.

Therefore, the best way is to appoint a person with military discipline-related stunts as the main general, and Du Lisan as the deputy general, which can not only ensure more loot, but also avoid the troops disturbing the people and affecting their reputation.

Du Lisan is best known for his marksmanship, and at level 40, he has 76 points in his shooting attribute, and his growth potential in this area is top-notch. He has a single stunt that can increase the hit rate by 10%, so he is actually not inferior to Ouyang Yu in shooting.

The elite battalion selected a thousand soldiers from each battalion, and since the establishment of the imperial court was only six battalions, the elite battalion's salary had to be paid by Chen Hao himself. Since it is an elite battalion, the treatment cannot be worse than that of the other six battalion heads, not counting the officer's salary, each soldier's monthly salary is calculated according to 4 oceans, and Chen Hao will spend 4,000 oceans per month.

Chen Hao originally wanted to squeeze out the military salary from other battalions to raise this battalion, because the military salary allocated by the imperial court was calculated according to 3 oceans per soldier, and the original six battalions at the entrance of the camp were only 2 oceans issued to the soldiers. Six battalions headed 6,000 people, and Chen Hao deducted an ocean from the head of each soldier, which was just enough to support the elite battalion of Commander Du Lisan.

This is a good way, as I remember that almost all players who hold official positions in the imperial court will deduct the salaries of NPC soldiers to support private soldiers. It's just that Chen Hao has a big problem with this, the 1,000 soldiers of the Yuan Aihui Patrol Battalion who followed him south, because he met a good boss like Feng Xiang, the military salary was paid in full.

Chen Hao, a patrol battalion of 1,000 people, must not withhold military salaries, but if this battalion alone receives 3 oceans a month, if the other five battalion leaders, mainly horse bandits, know about it, it may lead to a mutiny. What's more important is that Chen Hao still has masters like Wu Peifu and Yang Du under him, if his deduction of military salaries is detected by the two, it will be even more difficult to subdue them in the future.

After struggling for a long time, Chen Hao decided to pay for his own private reserve troops, and each soldier was paid a military salary of 4 oceans a month, and the treatment of officers was also higher than that of several other battalion heads. With comparison, the soldiers of the other battalions will train hard to join the elite battalion, and if there are soldiers who comprehend special skills or improve by leaps and bounds in certain attributes, they can also have more elites under their command.

The patrol battalion led by Chen Hao to the south has completed the redress, and all the guns are full of water. In the past, the military generals of the six battalions in Yingkou not only withheld military salaries but also sold ordnance privately, and the six battalions had only more than 2,000 guns. This is also the reason why Chen Hao now has to use horse bandits, the leader of the horse bandits brought his own guns when he joined with his subordinates after becoming an official, which can solve the problem of lack of guns and ammunition for Chen Hao.

The Mauser 1888 Committee rifle that was eliminated from the previous patrol battalion, Chen Hao asked the white demon to find a way to deal with it and exchange it for money, and in recent months he can only rely on selling the booty to raise the elite battalion.

Called the Elite Battalion, the new battalion is indeed the worst equipped, the soldiers who used to belong to the sixth battalion used the old Manxiali, who used to be bandits, and before coming to report, the bandit leader took back the good guns and took the old rifles.

In order to solve the problem of the guns of the elite battalion, Chen Hao wrote a letter to General Zengqi of Fengtian, reporting the shortage of guns and ammunition in the Yingkou patrol battalion. Now Zengqi needs him to win the battle, I believe that he will not be stingy with guns and ammunition, and he will go to some guns and ammunition to replenish the elite battalion, and then find a way to grab Lao Maozi and replace it with a standard water bead when the south is fighting.

On the day the elite battalion was formed, Chen Hao arranged to go to the tailor shop to make a flag, and a black dragon with teeth and claws was listed on the flag. The 1,000 elite battalions that did not belong to the imperial court were named the Black Dragon Army by him, and Du Lisan, who was already loyal to him, served as the commander; The original Aihui patrol battalion of 1,000 people who followed him south was named the first battalion of the Yingkou patrol by him, and Feng Yong was in charge of commanding.

The other five battalion leaders were organized into two to six battalions, and all the 1,000 households were served by horse bandit leaders, but the commanders of these horse bandit leaders were too low, and the combat effectiveness of the troops was insufficient. When fighting with the Russians, Chen Hao would let Wu Peifu command these battalion heads, and only the Black Dragon Battalion and the first battalion led by Du Lisan and Feng Yong had the opportunity to fight independently.

In order to curry favor with Chen Hao, Du Lisan, the new Black Dragon Battalion Zhengliupinwei Qianhu, suggested that a military parade be held in the barracks, and Chen Hao agreed in order to see the discipline of the various battalion heads. In addition to the patrol battalion, the main force of the other six battalions was mainly horse bandits, so only the Black Dragon Battalion and the second to sixth battalions participated in the parade. After all, the first battalion is an elite soldier who came down from the north, and letting the first battalion participate in the parade is too demoralizing for a bunch of bandits.

There are still a few brushes in the horse bandit fight, but the queue is miserable, Chen Hao yawned when he saw it, and finally the black dragon battalion led by Du Lisan appeared before he got up to watch. He also felt that the queue of the Black Dragon Battalion was very poor, but it was better than the other five battalion leaders, and it was no wonder that Du Lisan had the courage to suggest that he hold a military parade.

After the Black Dragon Battalion walked in front of the point general's platform, Chen Hao was about to announce the end of the parade, when he suddenly found a soldier turning his head curiously to look at him. Although this soldier was also wearing the uniform of the Black Dragon Battalion, Chen Hao felt that he should be a player, because NPC soldiers were unlikely to stare at Shangguan except for special celebrities.

If you are really a player, you can enter Du Lisan's magic eye and join the Black Dragon Camp, there must be something extraordinary. So he turned his head to Du Lisan next to him; "Du Qianhu, are there any strangers in your Black Dragon Camp?"
