"Nanzhao, Cang'er, and Jinchuan, the population is not large, and it is around one million, and dozens or hundreds of forces can be divided, which is even more chaotic than in the south. The area is large, and it can be said that it is both a citizen and a bandit. Lei Shi's convoy is just a piece of fat, and everyone wants to come up and take a bite. ”

Renault listened and nodded slightly, he had already thought that not only were there many car bandits, but when he arrived in Nanzhang, the local toast, I am afraid that he would also look at the greed, and unite to fight the autumn wind.

This is also the reason why when Renault was in Los Angeles, he wanted to open a military academy and build his own army, because he did not have enough armed forces in his hands, and he could be dangerous wherever he went out of a big city like Los Angeles.

The name of the secret master is very useful, and the more it is in a large country or state capital, the better the effect. It's hard to say when you get to a small place, you say that you are a secret master, and someone has to believe you. People in many places don't even know the words, and it is not ordinarily difficult to prove that they are secret masters.

If you encounter a reckless person, people will directly use the knife and will not even give you a chance to explain, which may be very common.

It was also out of this concern that he accepted the two grandmasters, Tian Ye and Song Zhe. Although he refused to flow clouds in his heart, he was afraid that the tail would not fall too much, but he still allowed them to become peripheral members.

The root of everything is that the power is too weak. Da Chu is a hellish place, and it's too difficult to go out and walk.

The convoy of the Shengong Temple, as many as five hundred, when it leaves Dingjun City, it may be twice as many or even more, more than a thousand packs, so how many guards are enough?

Zhu Chongjiu's mouth is the 5,000 Dingxi Army, which is also out of this consideration. But Renaud can't agree, the desert army is a regular army, in the area of Dingjun City in the southwest, there is no problem how to move, out of the southwest, that is, there is no order to transfer the army, even if it is explained clearly, in Chu Ren's eyes, it will also be deducted.

In the Emperor's time, it was a capital offense to transfer troops without order.

"The army is not needed, and the current strength in hand can protect itself. Renault refused, Zhu Chongjiu treated him well and helped a lot, Renault couldn't make trouble for him.

"Lei Shi, don't worry, I have already planned, there are many veterans in the Desert Legion who need to retire, some of them are disabled, and they will have a hard time when they leave the Legion. You don't have to worry, these veterans, even if they lack arms and eyes, their combat effectiveness is not picky, one-on-one is definitely not the opponent of a martial artist, ten against ten, hehe......" Zhu Chongjiu smiled confidently.

Oh!

It turns out that this is the case, Renault understands, this is a win-win, this thing is okay, but five thousand people, a little too much.

The casualties of the border army are too common, and there are many disabled, and what Zhu Chongjiu introduced to himself must be those veterans who are disabled but still have combat effectiveness.

These people are not good-looking in the army, not to mention, and it is impossible to serve all the time, so they must always find a home. They have fought in the army for half their lives, except for fighting, they will not know anything else, it is not easy to leave the army to survive, and if they follow themselves, they don't have to worry about their future life.

Such veterans, Renault is willing to accept, loyal, experienced and well-trained......

There are a lot of benefits, in addition to not being good-looking, the problem of exclusion is more serious. Soldiers like to huddle, no matter what era it is.

"General Zhu, five thousand is too many, three thousand, it's best to give a few generals who lead the team, at least Zhonglang generals. Renault said that was a bit excessive.

In the army, the lieutenant general is already a mid-level officer, although he does not have the title of general, he is the backbone of the army, they can lead three thousand military horses, such soldiers, usually do not need to retire.

"One tiger ben, two lieutenant generals. Zhu Chongjiu was a little painful, and he was reluctant, but these three had to leave the army.

In fact, in the face of the forty-eight countries in the southwest, the desert army may encounter war every day, more than a dozen scouts, a small team of hundreds of people, this kind of friction is normal in the nine sides, there is no need to report it at all, only the battle of more than 10,000 people will be written into the battle report and delivered to Los Angeles.

"Tiger general Jing Lan, three years ago deep into the plateau, ambush Ruoyan, heavy snowfall, the temperature plummeted, Jing Lan sent his cotton clothes to his subordinates, took the lead, heavy damage to the enemy, three thousand soldiers, less than half of them came back. Jing Lan's left arm below the elbow was frozen and necrotic, and the doctor cut it off to survive. ”

"Zhonglang General Chai Jun, encountered the enemy on the way to hunt, braved the rain of arrows, killed the enemy, beheaded more than 100, and lost his left ear and right eye. ”

"Zhonglang General Gai Yong, a nine-rank martial artist, invincible at the same level, strong and strong, is a warrior who is focused on training in the army. Besieged and killed by the Assassins of the Forty-Eight Kingdoms, he fought alone with eighteen Jiupin, dozens of archers, and killed most of the assassins, and only two of the eighteen Jiupin escaped, losing his right arm. ”

Every time he said something, the muscles on Zhu Chongjiu's face jumped, and people only saw the stable southwest, but they didn't know what the desert army had paid for it. Every year, how many people have to quit the army due to disability are all good soldiers.

Patrolling the plateau, exterminating sand bandits, protecting caravans, mining and quarrying, there are risks everywhere in the southwest.

"Lei Shi, if you want 3,000 people, then 3,000 people, the ugly words are in front, they are all good young men, but none of them are complete, but they can all take care of themselves and fight. Zhu Chongjiu sighed and said.

Physically handicapped and old, these veterans, even if they return to the country of Great Chu, life is very difficult. And the veterans are used to tearing and killing, their temper is naturally not good, they don't agree with each other, and it is very common to draw knives against each other, as long as they shoot, they can't be light, either dead or injured.

Such a character, in the army, is a hero, and when it is put back in the country, it is a bane. As far as Zhu Chongjiu knows, there are only a few disabled veterans who have retired from the army, no matter which regiment they belong to, and they can die well.

Renault nodded, such a soldier, he was willing to receive. No matter what the era, a soldier deserves respect.

In the military field of the school, the 3,000 veterans selected were dressed in regular clothes, without armor, and without weapons, but they were murderous. All of them are veterans with missing arms, few eyes and no ears, Zhu Chongjiu was very careful when choosing people, he knew that Renault had to walk a long way, so his lower limbs were mutilated, and none of them were chosen.

Jing Lan stood at the front, behind him were Chai Jun and Gai Yong, and in the third row were twenty-four officers, all of whom were nine-rank cultivators.

Looking at this murderous remnant, Renault's mood was agitated. Even though it is a remnant army, it can still make the boy's blood boil.

This army, Renault liked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Renault of the Divine Palace, and I'm glad you all joined this team. If you follow me, you may still be injured or even die, and the road I have to take is not easy to walk. ”

After Renault finished speaking, there was silence below, and the school field of 3,000 people was so quiet? Renault was surprised that Da Chu's army could be trained to such an extent, which was beyond his expectations.

"Are you willing to join the Shengong Temple? Lei will never force it. ”

"No!"

"No!"

"No!"

The quiet school field is boiling in an instant, and the sound of the mountains and tsunamis is breathtaking.

"Very well, from now on, you can call me sir. Renault said calmly, he didn't give any benefits, he didn't paint cakes for them, just a title.

Zhu Chongjiu glanced at Renault deeply and bowed to the ground, this is the commodore soldiers thanking Renault for his great kindness.

Sir, not everyone can be called. In the Temple of Divine Work, the apprentices of the secret masters, the trusted retainers, and the house slaves can also be.

Except for some, they can only call Lei Shi once, including Zhu Chongjiu, who can only be called like this.

Sir, it represents identity, relationships, and commitment.

From then on, these three thousand veterans, when they were outside, could claim to be from the Shengong Temple, and they could do things in the name of the Shengong Temple.

The signboard of the secret master, not only in Da Chu, but everywhere, is quite easy to use.

After accepting the 3,000 remnants of the army, Zhu Chongjiu visited Renault again, this time to ask for something else.

"Master Lei, don't say much kind words, this time I came to ask Master Lei for help. Zhu Chongjiu said.

"It's good that General Zhu has something to say. "This is the third day after the remnants of the army have been collected, and the jerky has begun to be loaded, and the Desert Legion Artisan Battalion assists the craftsmen of the Shengong Temple to make every effort to build chain mail and weapons to equip the remnants.

After retiring, naturally he can't use the standard equipment of the desert legion, not to mention that thing, Renault can't look down on it.

With three more veterans, the order of the convoy has changed, and Renault directly handed over the command of the convoy to Jing Lan, and there are remnants of the army to suppress it, whether it is a rainforest or a flowing cloud, it is much more honest.

According to Zhu Chongjiu, this remnant army is selected to be single, for various reasons, the family has long been dead, and it is easier to choose such a person.

Ten days later, the Qiang independence mission was invited by the new emperor to pass through the city of Dingjun. It is said that this Qiang independence mission is huge, and the strongest of them are like clouds. Zhu wanted to ask Lei Shi to help support the scene. Zhu Chongjiu said.

"Qiang Independence Mission?" Renault repeated thoughtfully, his brain turning on at full strength.

There were very few exchanges between Great Chu and Qiang, except for the caravans of the people, there had never been a country-level exchange, and there were forty-eight countries on the plateau in between, that is, there were no disputes, and there would be no exchanges.

It is said that some trade at sea is also from the people, and in the southeast, there is some influence, and when it comes to Los Angeles, almost no one has heard of it.

It seems that there have been changes on the side of the Luomen Islands, and Austria is putting a lot of pressure on Chu Ren. Da Chu is rich all over the world, has hundreds of millions of people, and has a million strong army, but he still makes a joint decision, how strong is this Austrian country?

"Yes, this matter has already been arranged by the court, and in three days, the procession of the Ministry of Rites should arrive, and there are five royal grandmasters in the procession. Originally, I thought that such an arrangement was already very appropriate, but a few days ago, I received a report from the scout, and there were eight grandmasters in the Qiang Independence Mission. Zhu was afraid that Da Chu's momentum would be weakened, so he could only ask Lei Shi for help. Zhu Chongjiu said.

"Eight Grandmasters?" Renault was startled, does Qiang Du attach importance to unity, or is there so many Grandmasters that there is nowhere to arrange?
