Ye Ying's desire is not just to be a bandit leader, the development and growth of the cottage is what he expects the most, so for these bandits who want to serve, as long as they are not the kind of people who are extremely angry, he chooses to accept them.

In this case, in the months after the Flying Eagle Society defeated the officers and soldiers, a large number of bandits joined in, and Fuhu Mountain could no longer be settled, so some houses had to be built in the Flying Star Valley to accommodate these new bandits.

The increase in personnel means that the trouble has also increased, and now the leaders have thought of a lot of ways to arrange these new bandits and their families.

However, Ye Ying was not involved in these things, as the big boss of the cottage, except for particularly important things, he generally let go of his leaders to deal with them. After all, the cottage now has tens of thousands of people even with their families, which is more than the number of people in Daning's counties, but he can't manage it alone.

Ge Shun is now the big housekeeper of the cottage, let him deal with these things, and Ye Ying also feels very relieved. However, the current cottage, due to the rapid development speed, is very lacking in both military and internal talents, which is a problem that Ye Ying is very anxious about.

For this problem, even though Zhuge Ying is resourceful, he has not found a reasonable solution. After all, most of the talents he knows in this area are already old, and many of them are now in Beiban, and they don't know whether they are dead or alive.

However, even if Ye Ying wants to be the shopkeeper, he can't do it, in addition to the need for talents, there is something more important, that is, the training of combat personnel.

The officers and soldiers were defeated this time, and the imperial court would definitely not give up, although there was no news from the imperial court at present, it was certain that they were brewing the next action. It is certain that the next time the imperial court sends troops to come again, it will be more difficult to deal with than this time.

This time in the battle with the Songzhou Army led by Chen Zhi, the way in which several battalions under Chen Zhi attacked at different levels and levels left a deep impression on the leaders of the Flying Eagle Society.

This time, Ye Ying also prepared to follow the example of the Songzhou Army, according to the different characteristics of the bandit fighters in the village, regrouped them, and set up a cavalry battalion, a spear battalion, a special warfare battalion, and a sword and shield battalion, etc., each of whom focused on training the same type of troops, and then practiced mutual cooperation with each other.

Among them, the special operations battalion is the most distinctive branch of the army, and they mainly train special combat methods such as rock climbing, swimming, and high-speed diving. According to Ye Ying's idea, once a war starts, this special type of troops, which mainly focus on sneak attacks and assassinations, often plays an unexpected role in the war.

In addition, according to the suggestion of Jiang Jin, the military advisor of the White Tiger Army, another special team was established, which was specially used to find out the news. In the process of engaging the enemy, if you can get the enemy's information in advance, you can take the advantage.

In addition to training combat personnel, there is another troublesome thing that makes Ye Ying very headache, now there are so many people in the cottage, and they consume a lot of things every day for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

For this reason, Ye Ying found Zhang Fu, the leader in charge of the commercial operation of the cottage, many times, and allocated a lot of manpower to Zhang Fu and his son, so that they could do their best to prepare more materials for the cottage.

However, Zhang Fu's father and son are still very smart, and they know that they can't get a lot of supplies for the cottage by themselves. Through their own channels, they found some flexible minds among some bankrupt businessmen, let them join the cottage, and use the materials and resources of the cottage to do things such as medicinal materials, grain, silk, and even salt sales that were not allowed by the imperial court, and finally ensure the basic operation of the cottage.

Ye Ying has never been a person who puts his eggs in one basket, in addition to letting Zhang and his son take care of the caravan of the cottage, he also often corresponds with Ma Zhengyuan, a merchant in Yuhe County, and cooperates with him to do several businesses, which greatly relieves the pressure on the cottage.

While the Flying Eagle Club is in full swing training, and desperately developing the business kingdom. Daning's neighbor, the Beiban Imperial Court, is currently extremely unquiet.

Several princes of the Northern Barbarians have been intriguing all day long on weekdays, but now they are very frequent, and all parties are frequently mobilizing, and there is a tendency to fill the building with mountains and rains.

The fundamental reason for this situation is that the Northern Barbarian King Heihannaji, who was already sick, suddenly became seriously ill, and even reached the point of being bedridden.

And when the sons of Hehannaji saw that their father was sick, they did not feel anxious at all, but rejoiced in their hearts, because once Hehannaji kicked his legs, the throne was vacant. But this is also normal, in the royal family is very indifferent, and the throne is what everyone expects the most.

He had four sons, the eldest son, Hehan Xiongge, the second son, Hehan Wutu, the third son, Hehan Mugu, and the fourth son, Heihan Duowu.

Among the four princes, the eldest prince Heihan Xiongge and the second prince Heihan Wutu are the strongest, so they are-for-tat in many things. And the third prince Heihan Mugu and the fourth prince Heihan Duowu, although their strength is weaker than that of the eldest brother and the second brother, in order to protect themselves, they also gathered a lot of people around them.

Hehannaji suddenly became seriously ill, and among his four sons, only the eldest son, Hehan Xiongge, was in the royal city of Manjing, after hearing the news that his father was seriously ill. The first thing that came to mind was not to treat his father, but to order everyone in the palace to block the news.

Heihan Xiongge's idea was to take advantage of Heihan Hanji's serious illness to quickly seize some power in the court and clean up the power of his three younger brothers in the barbarian army. In this way, when Heihannaji drove the crane to the west, he could easily ascend to the throne of the Northern Barbarian King.

But the ideal of Heihanxiong is plump, but the reality is skinny. He underestimated the methods of his three younger brothers, who had installed their own men in various departments of the royal city, and soon spread the news that Hehannaji was seriously ill.

After hearing the news, the three Northern Barbarian princes in the field immediately rushed to the Barbarian Capital non-stop, of course, not to recruit their father's illness, but for the throne left by Heihan Naji.

The news that the younger brothers were about to rush back, and the father Heihannaji never closed his eyes with a sigh of relief, Heihanxiong was anxious, so he simply used a bowl of poison and sent Heihannaji back to the west. It may be that this Northern Barbarian King died at the hands of his own son.

After poisoning his father, Hehanxiong had people forge an edict, saying that before he died, he passed on the throne of the Northern Barbarians to him.

Next, before the burial of Heihannaji, Heihan Xiongge gathered all the important officials of the royal city, and with the support of a group of cronies, he ascended the throne and became the new king of the Northern Barbarians. and ordered that his three younger brothers were not allowed to return to the royal city, and he frantically cleaned up the forces of the three younger brothers in the royal city of Manjing.

After the news spread, the other three princes of the Northern Barbarians, of course, did not do anything, and while declaring that the throne of Heihan Xiongge was invalid, they recruited troops and horses everywhere and began to march towards the royal city of Manjing.

Seeing that the three younger brothers were united to deal with him, Heihan Xiong Ge was also a little panicked, and he issued an order everywhere to send soldiers and horses from all over the country to the king of the city. At the same time, he sent people to quietly contact the weaker third prince Heihan Mugu and the fourth prince Heihan Duowu, promising them glory and wealth, and letting them support themselves.

But what Heihanxiong didn't expect was that neither of his strategies had a very obvious effect. The soldiers and horses of the various tribes of the Northern Barbarians were unwilling to participate in the fight between the princes, and most of them chose to watch the fire from the other side, so there were very few soldiers and horses who came to King Jingqin.

And the third prince Heihan Mugu and the fourth prince Heihan Duowu actually joined forces with the second prince Heihan Wutu and raised 150,000 soldiers and horses together to surround the royal city of Manjing.

In this way, the two sides launched a big battle in the Manjing City, and Heihan Xiongge, who had fewer troops, was originally going to use the tall walls of the Manjing City to rely on the support and wait for reinforcements. But what he didn't expect was that the forces hidden in the city of Nanjing by his three younger brothers suddenly became chaotic, and under the cooperation of the inside and outside, the Manjing was quickly broken, and Heihan Xiongge, who had just sat on the throne for more than ten days, was also killed by the rebels.

After the death of Heihan Xiongge, the second prince Heihan Wutu was the strongest, and he was originally the best candidate for the new king of the Northern Barbarians, but I don't know why, an important general under him suddenly rebelled and led his troops to take refuge in the third prince Heihan Mugu.

The second prince, who was caught off guard, was killed by the third prince's people and cut off the heads of him and his family of more than 100 people.

And the fourth prince, Heihan Duowu, originally had the best relationship with the third brother, so he didn't pay much attention to Heihan Mugu. Unexpectedly, in order to compete for the throne, Heihan Mugu had already killed his eyes, and he also attacked his own brother, a fellow mother.

The result was very simple, Heihan Duowu, who had not yet reacted, also followed in the footsteps of his two brothers and died in this battle for the throne.

This battle for the throne, in which the four princes of the Northern Barbarians participated, lasted more than three months and finally ended. And in the end, it was the third prince Heihan Mugu, who was relatively low-key on weekdays and declared to the outside world that he had no idea about the throne.

Regarding this battle for the throne of the Northern Barbarians, although the Daning Imperial Court had heard about it, it did not pay attention to this matter.

Liu Gou, the emperor of Daning, saw that the Northern Barbarians were busy with infighting and had no time to take care of Daning. He put his mind on the bandits from all over the country who were becoming more and more powerful, and the Flying Eagle Society, which had just a few hundred soldiers and horses in the Songzhou battalion, had become a thorn in Liu Go's side and a thorn in his flesh.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommended a person, this person has been in the army for many years, and he has a lot of experience in exterminating bandits, and he is loyal to the court, let him go to exterminate the Flying Eagle Society bandits, and he will definitely be caught." In the early dynasty, there was enough for the ministers to discuss the suppression of bandits, and an old minister came out to play.

"Whoever Aiqing plays, report quickly." Hearing that someone could destroy the Flying Eagle Society, Emperor Liu Gou of Daning was overjoyed and immediately asked the minister.

"The general recommended by the minister is none other than Zeng Yi, the captain of Zhaowu, who has won more with less many times and exterminated more than a dozen stubborn bandits, and it is most suitable for him to lead the troops to exterminate the Flying Eagle Society." Seeing that his words had attracted the attention of the emperor, the old minister immediately said excitedly.

Zeng Yi is a son of the Zeng family, and among these important ministers in the court, many of them are officials of the Zeng family, and with their support, this matter was quickly finalized.

Within a few days, the will of the imperial court came down, and Zeng Yi, the captain of Zhaowu, was appointed as the general of Sipin Guangwei, and he selected 30,000 soldiers from the Wild Lion Army, and went to Fuhu Mountain after the beginning of spring to exterminate the Flying Eagle Society bandits.

After Zeng Yi received the order of the imperial court, he began to select and transfer troops and horses in the Wild Lion Army as quickly as possible, and his subordinates who were previously serving as captains of Zhaowu became the first choice for him.

And among the selected teams this time, one of the battalions is the most special, he is the recruit battalion where Ye Ying was in the Wild Lion Army before, but now this name is no longer called the recruit battalion, and it is named Endeavor Battalion. And the battalion commander of this Endeavor Battalion is none other than his former good brother, Zhao Hu, who grew up with him in Gushan Village.

Ye Ying, who was still training bandits in Fuhu Mountain at this time, never dreamed that he would reunite with Zhao Hu so soon, but this reunion was met as an enemy.
