Luo Feng and Zhang Xuli arrived at the door of Ran Santong's office, and heard Ran Santong's scolding from inside, "When can you read more books, or practice your sword well, you look at the last battle, if it weren't for Luo Feng and Zhang Xuli, you probably wouldn't even have your life, you are still pretending here, pretending to be something, saying, what are you doing stealing my gold bars?" ”

Ran Jie lowered his head, "That one just wants to drink." ”

"Drinking," Ran Santong was furious, "What kind of wine to drink, you must know that in the future, it is impossible for the Central Continent to be as peaceful as before, if it is not strong, sooner or later the village will be wiped out." ”

"Dad, we're so rich, it's good to raise more militia."

"What's the use of having more militias? The key is to have strong combat power, otherwise we will not be able to deal with it for a hundred miles. ”

"Isn't that Luo Feng them?" Ran Jie said with a look of grievance and vinegar.

"You're embarrassed to say," Ran Santong walked to the seat in front of his desk and sat down, glaring at Ran Jie.

Ran Jie didn't dare to raise his head, and stood weakly.

"Village Chief." Luo Feng shouted at the door, pushed open the door, and walked into Ran Santong's office with Zhang Xuali.

When Ran Jie saw Zhang Xuali, he panicked, quietly pushed Zhang Xuali, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, otherwise there will be no gold bars."

"You're really boring, you can't handle it for so long." Zhang Xuli looked indifferent.

"Say what? Both of you. Ran Santong heard Zhang Xuli and Ran Jie talking, and asked loudly.

"No, nothing." Zhang Xuli shook his head vigorously and smiled innocently.

Luo Feng took two steps forward to change the topic, "Village Chief, last night I thought that since the villages in Hedong had been coming to loot, I would simply destroy them. ”

Destroying villages was something that was unthinkable before, but Xiujie's precedent gave many powerful villages the idea of annexing surrounding small villages.

Ran Santong thought for a moment and asked, "I heard that you are here to protect the village?"

"Yes." Luo Feng replied.

"Can you really occupy someone else's village?" Although Ran Santong was afraid that his village would be occupied by others, he had not thought about how to occupy other people's villages.

Luo Feng pondered for a long time before he said: "My father is the head of Laihu Village, after being killed by Xiujie, Laihu Village has lost its pillars, some people who resisted have been killed, and the rest of the people can only listen to Xiujie." Speaking of this, Luo Feng's face was a little sad, and he was also thinking about how to defeat Xiu Jie and avenge his father.

"Okay," Ran Santong listened to Luo Feng's answer, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, "Ran Jie"

Hearing Ran Santong shouting, Ran Jie immediately let out an "oh".

"You are responsible for recruiting five hundred villagers and handing them over to Luo Feng and Zhang Xuli for training."

"Okay, then I'll go now." Ran Jie was afraid that Zhang Xuli would entangle him, and he was afraid of being scolded by Ran Santong, so he found an excuse to leave.

"Okay, let's go." After Ran Santong finished speaking, he said to Luo Feng and Zhang Xuli: "I handed over all the villagers recruited by Ran Jie to you, and you will train them, I don't know how the two of you are?"

"Training villagers should be considered an official." Zhang Xuli said.

This statement stumped Ran Santong, "That's what I said, but there is no precedent before, what do you think should be done?" Ran Santong asked rhetorically.

"It doesn't matter," Luo Feng was afraid that Zhang Xuali would become more and more unreliable the more he talked, "It's better to wait for Ran Jie to recruit people, and Zhang Xuali and I will train first." ”

"It's fine, but I won't lose my salary." After speaking, Ran Santong took out a stack of money from the drawer under his desk, "Here are 10,000 coins, which is the reward for the last battle, and when the villagers are trained and the village in Hedong is attacked, I will reward you with 500,000 yuan." ”

"500,000, good, good." Zhang Xuli laughed happily, as if Hedong was already in hand.

After the agreement, Luo Feng and Zhang Xuli returned to their residence, and Ran Jie began to recruit villagers through various channels.

Xihe Village has been harassed and plundered by Hedong Village, and now I heard that Hedong Village will be destroyed at one time, plus it has just defeated Bailiguang, and the enthusiasm is high for a while, and many people are willing to join the militia, and in just a few days, 500 people have been recruited.

Luo Feng came to Ran Santong's office, "Village Chief, I suggest that these militiamen be supported by the village in the future. ”

Ran Santong knew that it was impossible to protect the village without the militia, and he also had this idea, but so many people needed to be managed, and Ran Santong had no experience, so he didn't know what to do, "Luo Feng, so many people, if they keep getting together, will something happen?" ”

"Probably not," Luo Feng thought of Roy Village, and continued: "We only need to look at Xiujie, he was developed by relying on the militia, and now I heard that there are already three villages, and the team has expanded to about three thousand." Speaking of this, Luo Feng remembered that his father's revenge would not be avenged in any year, and he couldn't help but feel melancholy.

Ran Santong sighed heavily, "Hey, fortunately, their village is far away from us, otherwise I'm afraid that our Hexi village will also be looted by them." ”

"Therefore, these current militias must no longer be disbanded, and they must be managed in a unified manner." Luo Feng insisted.

"Okay, listen to you, you go get it." Under the instigation of Luo Feng, Ran Santong finally made up his mind and began to form a professional militia, manage it in a unified manner, and pay wages on time.

The village of Hexi is very wealthy, and it is easy to support 500 people, but the problem of housing these 500 people has to be solved.

At Luo Feng's suggestion, Ran Santong built two rows of houses on both sides of Hexi Square for the militia to stay, and set aside a piece of land, built a wall, and enclosed the two rows of houses together to become a training ground. After the training ground was built, Luo Feng went to the training ground every day to train the militia.

February 211 in the Middle-earth calendar.

The militia prevailed in various villages, and some villages exhausted their financial resources in order to support the militia and could not pay their salaries, which led to the militia rebellion.

On a high mountain near the Cave of Oblivion, there were more than 100 exiled militiamen, the first of whom was named Hatton, who was 1.92 meters tall, huge in size, round in waist and thick shoulders, and stood on the convex stone in the mountain with a pair of iron octagonal hammers weighing 240 pounds in both hands.

"This mountain has no name, it will be ours from now on." Hatton's voice rang in the mountains like a bell, "Let's see, what kind of mountain is it." ”

Everyone below looked at each other, not knowing what to call the mountain, and besides, Hatton didn't speak, and everyone below didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"Since everyone doesn't know, then I think it's called Forgotten Mountain." Hatton laughed when he finished speaking, and the laughter shook the birds of the mountain forest away.

"Good, good, good." There was a cheer from below.

"Then we're going to be here from now on." Hatton instructed his men to put away the money they had just plundered, and began to cut down trees and build houses.
