Lieutenant Bian Rong can form a militia of 1,000 people.

A thousand commanders, you can also recruit a thousand people.

Both identities are used, which is the quota of 2,000 people, and only one light and one dark will be needed at that time.

People, obviously, it is impossible to recruit from the side of Huangsha City. The news of the City Lord's Mansion recruiting people had already spread first, because the City Lord's Mansion received the emergency mobilization order earlier than Ma Shuo received the appointment of Captain Bian Rong.

"Recruit the bandits!" The three of them quickly reached a consensus and continued to recruit the mountain bandits to expand the team.

According to the new situation, after Ma Shuo weighed it, he made a clear division of labor between Fan Zeng and Bai Xuan. Fan Zeng continued to stay in the winery, in addition to being responsible for the normal high-level liquor sales and alcohol docking tasks with the barracks, he was mainly responsible for forming an official hidden guard to investigate all kinds of news.

The Hidden Guards first started from Huangsha City and continued to spread to the surrounding cities and related areas, striving to establish a dark web covering the western frontier within a year. The members of the hidden guard are not limited to peddlers and pawns, as long as they can be used by me, they can be earned.

Of course, the most core members, only those who have been tested, can be qualified. At the same time, in order to perform some special tasks, the hidden guard also needs a certain amount of combat effectiveness. Therefore, in addition to a large number of spy personnel, there will also be an independent armed force under the hidden guard. According to Ma Shuo's idea, the manpower of this armed force can be divided into two parts, one is from the retired wounded soldiers recruited later, and the other is to recruit some people from the rivers and lakes.

Of course, how to implement it is Fan Zeng's business. Fan Zeng himself is in charge of the business of the winery, so the money can be used directly, but he needs to do a good job. For the time being, due to lack of manpower, one person can only do multiple tasks. When there are the right people, the affairs of the wine shop and the hidden guard will still be separated, which Ma Shuo knows very well in his heart. In the grass-roots stage, there are many flaws, and the conditions are limited, and it cannot be perfect.

In addition, on the side of the winery, there will be a guard team on the surface, and the number of people is controlled at about 100 people. The convoy is still dominated by retired wounded soldiers. Moreover, the winery will still be a transit station for receiving retired wounded soldiers, and the retired wounded soldiers who will come back in the future will first come here for a period of training, serve as a guard for a period of time, and then continue to enrich the Panlong Guard.

Panlongwei will be made into Ma Shuo's personal guard, and will not be counted in the militia group. Therefore, in the future, the members of the Panlongwei will be replaced by retired wounded soldiers, and now these people in the Panlongwei will be scattered into the militia and the 22,000-man team, and most of them will become officers at all levels of the militia and the thousand-man team. In other words, most of the five hundred people of Panlongwei will become the backbone of the force now, which is an important foundation for Ma Shuo to expand his power in the future.

Fan Zeng was in charge of the hidden guard and the winery, and Bai Xuan still followed Ma Shuo as the military advisor of Panlong Village, and at the same time took charge of the logistics of the cottage. According to Ma Shuo's plan, after returning to Panlongling, he would ask Bai Xuan to transfer a group of people from among the guards as soon as possible, and cooperate with a small number of guards to form a special logistics transportation team. This transport team is first and foremost responsible for the transportation of materials between the winery and the cottage in the future. All kinds of items produced in the cottage and all kinds of materials purchased by the brewery will be transported by the transportation team.

Panlongwei will continue to be led by Jin Tian, and the commander of the pro-guard battalion. The number of Panlongwei is tentatively set at five hundred, but there is no need to fill the quota for the time being, in line with the principle of preferring shortage to excess, one qualified income one.

Therefore, at present, the most critical thing for Ma Shuo is to select the right five hundred as soon as possible, at least four. Five hundred long, not only to have personal strength, but also to have a certain command ability. Because Ma Shuo himself is the captain of Bian Rong and the commander of the thousands, the five hundred commanders are an important support for his subordinates.

He Yilong, this guy should be counted as one.

Meng Hu should also be counted as one.

Meng Da is a bit old, and it is no longer suitable to serve as the five hundred chief, but he is still a good candidate to assist Bai Xuan in taking charge of logistics.

Ma Shuo thought about it and found that there were still not enough people at the moment. There is no way, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and the time accumulated by yourself is still too short. However, the situation in the outside world is still developing too fast. Ma Shuo tapped his head and sighed helplessly.

Right now, the most important thing is to take Lao Niang and Qi Jing to leave Huangsha City and go to Panlongling as soon as possible, Huangsha City is no longer safe, plus there has been a conflict with the City Lord's Mansion before, although the other party has not torn his face for the time being, but it is also a matter of time. Therefore, Ma Shuo didn't dare to risk leaving Lao Niang and Qi Jing in Huangsha City.

Before leaving, Ma Shuo asked Fan Zeng to purchase a batch of materials on a large scale. Now, with the income from high wine, plus the more than 10,000 taels he got from Qiao Zheng before, Ma Shuo still has a lot of silver in his hand. A few days ago, Fan Zeng reported the account to Ma Shuo, since the cooperation with Qianzhongfang, a total of nearly 100,000 taels of silver have been distributed, deducting the consumption of materials and other expenses during this time, there are still more than 50,000 silver left in his hand.

The profit of high wine is really very high, but Ma Shuo also knows very well that there will be more places to use money in the future. Therefore, this time, while Fan Zeng is expanding the power of the hidden guard, he will also expand the sound of high wine to other surrounding cities.

Once the brewing base of Panlongzhai is established, there will be no problem in terms of output. In addition, as tensions rise, the use of alcohol on the military's side will increase dramatically, and the benefits will increase at that time.

Because of the tense situation, the cost of this procurement has increased a lot. When all the necessary supplies had been purchased, there were less than 20,000 taels of silver left. In this case, Ma Shuo left 10,000 taels for Fan Zeng, and took the remaining silver taels and all the materials with him.

This time, the fleet was larger, with more than 100 large vehicles. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Ma Shuo arranged for someone to transfer Panlongwei from Panlongzhai in advance. At the same time, Ma Shuo also transferred 500 people and a horse pulling a cart from the guard team to be responsible for pulling the cart.

After being fully prepared, the convoy finally set off.

The people and horses cooperated to pull the carts out of Huangsha City, and the vast convoy formation was quite good, which naturally caused great movement again. However, this time, not too many people dared to think crookedly. Because when he set off, Ma Shuo played the banner of Captain Bian Rong for the first time.

Although Captain Bian Rong is only a militia organization, he still represents the border army behind him. As the Huangsha City closest to the border, no force dared to oppose the border army without any fate.

Naturally, when Ma Shuo played out the banner of Captain Bian Rong, Ximen Xiong, who was in the City Lord's Mansion, also quickly got the news.

"Smack-"

A tea bowl shattered.
