It's the middle of April, and although the snow has melted, the temperature is still not very high.

The settlement of the Three Ape tribes is in a small valley, probably to defend against ordinary foreign enemies or wild beasts.

However, now it is cheaper Luo Ming - the fire has basically not spread outward, so there is no need for him to send his own men to put out the fire, and when the combustibles in the valley are almost burned, the fire will naturally be extinguished.

However, this also reminded him that when he fully controls the Karlo Mountains in the future, he must be prepared for fire prevention and plan accordingly in advance.

For example, cutting down large trees in the middle of a large forest, removing weeds, creating firebreaks, and even diverting small ditches past to provide water for firefighting can seem like a good idea.

Now, since the fire did not continue to spread, Luo Ming was about to send his men to clear out the remnants of the enemy.

Of course, most of the soldiers of the regular army remained in the wooden village in case of contingency, and most of the soldiers sent out this time were servant troops.

Although their combat effectiveness, discipline, and credibility are all problems, in any case, there is absolutely no problem in clearing out the remnants of the enemy.

They had basically participated in the conflict between tribes before, and no one was weaker than the other, and now Luo Ming also sent them some equipment, allowing them to attack those remnants of the defeated generals and even the old and weak women and children, which is basically a matter of nine out of ten.

Even if this is a trap, the remaining combat effectiveness of the three apes is increased tenfold, and the first to suffer is only the servant army.

Although paper armor was already cheap and easy to make, it was still a lot of money to equip so many servants—so Luo Ming asked Aya to help him think of a cheaper armor.

This is cloth armor - it can be made from linen cloth that everyone can weave, fold the linen cloth in several layers, glue it with a small amount of glue, and then beat it to make it strong, and it can be completed.

Of course, the defense of this cloth armor that cut corners is one and a half grades lower than that of paper armor, but the inferior weapons used to resist the mountain people are basically enough. Luo Ming experimented a little, and it was impossible to break it with low-end equipment such as sharpened wooden sticks or stone axes.

Luo Ming called on the women in the territory to weave cloth and make armor, and so far he has accumulated more than 1,500 pairs of cloth armor.

Of course, in order to reduce the number of man-hours and further reduce the cost, these cloth armors only have sleeveless tops, which are basically the level of a waistcoat - half the fabric and two-thirds of the man-hours compared to making a full-body cloth armor.

However, after the mountain people put on such "vests", they looked a little neater, which also gave Luo Ming an idea - to make more cloth armor in the future, as a military uniform for soldiers to wear.

Isn't it beautiful that such a military uniform is not only cheap, looks neat, but also keeps warm, and has a certain protective effect?

Luo Ming can't always let his elite wear paper armor, sooner or later he will have to change to iron armor, but the insulation effect of iron armor is extremely poor, and it will be much better if he puts on a layer of cloth armor.

To get back to business, the militia of the Servants, or, officially, the Castle Hill Production and Construction Corps, armed with short spears and cloth armor, rushed out.

Then, Luo Ming noticed some eyes focused on him.

"Well, do you want to fight?"

He saw a dozen regular soldiers coming forward, and he guessed about it.

"Although this fire is well placed, we still want to cut down one or two bandits with our own hands to relieve our hatred!" said the leader of the squad.

Then, more than a dozen people bowed down together and said, "Please forgive me for the crime of leaving my post without permission!"

Hey, that's decent. Luo Ming smiled in his heart, but a serious expression appeared on his face:

"You know you're leaving your job without permission...... However, since it is to avenge the martyrs, I am ready!

But remember not to disperse, if there are surrendered or unarmed bandits, you can't kill them on the spot, be sure to escort them back, I will personally justify the punishment in front of the whole army. Of course, the execution can be yours. ”

They showed happy expressions, and they were ready to open their mouths to praise Luo Ming's wisdom—but Luo Ming didn't bother to listen to the ecstasy soup, and said bluntly: "When you come back, remember to go to the military judge and get three whips each." ”

Luo Ming has always treated his soldiers well, but this is still different from getting used to them.

Although as a strong man with the hope of immortality, he will not think about how the heir should control his subordinates at present, but once the soldiers are ambitious, it will be difficult to discipline.

Once from an ordinary soldier to an unruly old soldier...... Luo Ming himself can barely control them, but who can call them other than Luo Ming?

They harassed the people, and the sheriffs did not dare to take care of them; they engaged in armed fights, drank and gambled in the barracks, and the gendarmes could not control them; once the time came to divide the troops, and they left Luo Ming's side, they would be like unbridled huskies, and if the officers tried to control them, they might be beaten up by them.

While Lo Ming would have liked them to show a common hatred for the enemy who had killed the robe, it was not to be explicitly rewarded—this was how the army red deer of the old Japanese Empire were raised.

In the beginning, there were low-ranking officers in the Japanese Army who acted arbitrarily and arbitrarily and made a big news without asking for instructions, but as a result, they were commended by their superiors, promoted and made a fortune, and thus set a very bad example for the officers and men of the whole army.

There is no need to apply or ask for instructions to do anything, as long as the result is good, it is a meritorious service.

Under the guidance of this strange thinking, they went north to provoke the Soviets at one time, and then went south to cause incidents, and if the high-level leaders did not agree with their wishes, they simply "punished the country thieves" and even dared to kill the prime minister...... The most ridiculous thing is that something like the July 7 Incident, which affects the overall situation, was not at all instructed by the Japanese upper echelons, but was privately carried out by a group of middle- and lower-ranking officers.

In the end, they fell into the quagmire of a full-scale war of resistance, trapping hundreds of divisions in the territory of the Celestial Empire.

Frankly speaking, although Luo Ming is also ready to engage in militarism, he absolutely does not intend to engage in such disobedient militarism among his subordinates.

The former can gather strength to supply the military, win a few more battles, and have the ability to protect themselves in the chaos, while the latter is fatal, and no matter how good the situation is, it can be stirred into a pot of muddy water.

If you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to uncover the tiles - although it is a lesson for bear children, it is actually a magic weapon for governing the army.

With a murder weapon in hand and armor, and powerful destructive power and courage, isn't this just a group of big-sized bear children?
