Chapter 17: Turmoil in the rivers and lakes

Of course, in addition to this open school field, there is another hidden military camp.

It was used to train his private soldiers.

However, it can't be exposed, after all, he is only a hundred households now, and the number of people he can command is only hundreds, if the number is too large, it is likely to attract the suspicion of the imperial court.

Now, as soon as Lu Zhi has free time, he goes to inspect the two military camps in light and dark, and then gives a speech to instill in them the idea of being loyal to himself.

Not only that, Lu Zhi also distributed a booklet, and accompanied him with literate subordinates as ideological counselors, giving them ideological guidance courses every day.

Let them know that every grain of food they eat now is given by him Lu Zhi, and the clothes on their bodies, the shelter, and the rich Yulu are also given by him Lu Zhi.

This is a great favor for parents, so we must know how to repay the favor.

However, in this way, there are a lot fewer reliable subordinates around him, and many things are also stretched, but fortunately, there are still a lot of talents in this group of refugees, so that he will not be unavailable.

Of course, this group of people will definitely not be sent to the secret military camp, but some people are sent to the military camp to do things, and some people help run errands and find out the news.

As for the manufacture of firearms, Lu Zhi did not let go, in addition to recruiting excellent blacksmiths everywhere, he also began to teach them the means of production that could be realized in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Lu Zhi himself does not have this knowledge and knowledge, after all, he studied financial accounting in college, and this kind of knowledge is only looked up on Baidu, then printed down, translated into traditional Chinese characters, and handed over to the literate blacksmith for research.

As for whether they can succeed or not, it depends on their own comprehension ability.

Time flies quickly, in Pinggu County, it is ten days in a flash, all his things are carried out in an orderly manner, and the shop in Luoyang is also thriving, and the business is very good.

Upstairs in Dongyang, Lu Zhi stood on the railing, looking at the drizzle outside, and there was a ripple on Dongyang Lake, and his thoughts also flew away.

In the modern world, the pace is also very fast, and after coming to this era, I feel that the whole person is much more relaxed.

"Your Excellency?"

Lu Zhi frowned, and the relaxed and pleasant feeling just now was instantly interrupted.

"What's the matter?" But he still held back his anger, after all, the person who came was one of the first guards he recruited, and it was he who sent out to investigate the matter of the descendants of the Medicine King Valley walking the rivers and lakes.

Now that I'm back, I must have gotten some news.

"My lord, my subordinates got a big news on the rivers and lakes this time, I heard that the heir of the Medicine King Valley was born to find the traitor of the Medicine King Valley, and the other party stole the treasure of the Medicine King Valley, the Medicine King Ding. ”

"I wanted to find it secretly, but unexpectedly, the news spread, and now there is a surge in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Oh, what kind of treasure is this medicine king ding, which can cause such a big movement?" Lu Zhi wondered.

"Actually, this medicine king tripod is secondary, mainly the pills contained in the medicine king tripod, I heard that there are dozens of pills hidden in the medicine king valley have also been stolen, as for this medicine king tripod although it is a treasure, but you must know how to make alchemy, it will be useful, even if others get it, it is useless. Jiang Wei explained.

"And the Medicine King Valley also sent out a message, saying that if you help catch the traitor and bring back the Medicine King Ding and the pills inside, you can get the Baicao Pill that increases your power for twenty years, and you can also get the friendship of the Medicine King Valley. ”

"Now the rivers and lakes are turbulent, and many hidden masters have come out of the mountain, some for the pills in the Medicine King Ding, and some for the friendship of the Medicine King Valley. Jiang Wei was also a little shocked, after all, the rivers and lakes that have been calm for a long time may be swept up in bloody rain because of this incident.

Lu Zhi stood on the balcony, wandering left and right, and finally made up his mind.

"Okay, you give me all the search, and now I will give you another five thousand taels, and get through the people at the bottom of the beggar gang, if you don't ask me to get it again, I want all the first-hand information, so that I can catch that traitor as soon as possible, and get what he has on him. ”

The rivers and lakes are in chaos, and the masters are exhausted, and now his actions are to take the chest from the fire.

But no matter how high his martial arts are, he is afraid of kitchen knives, not to mention that he does not use kitchen knives, but firearms.

What's more, the thief god Ji who was known as the first-class master of the rivers and lakes before was dead, and he also fell under the hands of many people, and Lu Zhi would not be too afraid of others.

Since he got such a major news, Lu Zhi was not in the mood to eat slowly, so he quickly ate a few bites, then got up and left and went to the school field.

"Ma Zongqi, now I want you to take these soldiers for actual combat exercises, there is a Mawang Mountain fifteen miles southwest of Pinggu County, there is a small bandit force in it, about fifty people, I need you to lead the soldiers to suppress the bandits. Lu Zhi summoned several general flags and small flags and issued an order.

"My lord, this firearm has only been practiced for less than seven days, and the soldiers have just become familiar with it, so it's too fast to start the actual combat exercise now. Xue Mao hesitated, but still put forward his opinion.

Lu Zhi is very powerful now, he is a little afraid to look at the other party directly, coupled with the usual ideological counseling courses, he is not very disgusted with Lu Zhi now.

"Only the real battlefield can speed up their growth and show their ability, I have made up my mind, you don't need to say more, it's better to prepare in advance, you have a night to prepare, and you will set off early tomorrow morning." Lu Zhi gave the order directly.

Due to the turmoil in the rivers and lakes, Lu Zhi's thirst for strength became more urgent, so he could only use the method of fighting to speed up the growth of recruits.

Early the next morning, Lu Zhi rushed to the barracks early.

Below stood 128 soldiers, and he stood on the platform.

"Since it is a war, there will definitely be disabilities, I think you should think of it when you choose to join the army, but since you are my soldiers, I will definitely not be stingy, this time on the expedition, if someone dies, you will enjoy a subsidy of fifty taels, and the disabled will enjoy a subsidy of twenty taels, and the medical expenses are covered by 100 households, and if you don't kill an enemy, you will be rewarded with one or two silver. Lu Zhi announced the rewards and pensions for this expedition.

Hearing Lu Zhi's words, the soldiers below were all excited, one or two heads per person, this is a huge fortune, not to mention that the injured wealth will be subsidized by hundreds of households, so that they can avoid worries.

Because it was next to Pinggu County, this time they all said that they would travel lightly, only bring guns and ammunition, and a day's dry food, and leave the school field neatly.
