Wang Quan and Li Yan's idea is indeed correct, perhaps everyone has tasted the sweetness of having a good mass base, and the implementation of the three disciplines and the eight points of attention in the volunteer army has met with less resistance than imagined!

Of course, with nearly 3,000 people, it is impossible for there to be no opposing voices, but there are really few opposing voices, Wang Quan and Li Yan exert pressure from the top, coupled with the support of the vast majority of people, those opposing voices can't make much waves at all!

However, Wang Quan and Li Yan also knew that their military discipline could be implemented so quickly in the entire volunteer army, not because the ideological realm of the volunteer soldiers had reached that level, but because after several city breaks, they also understood that ordinary people don't have much oil and water, let go of those ordinary people, and specifically target those who are rich and unkind, not only will the harvest be greater than those civilians, but most importantly, they can also receive praise from the common people!

If you can be praised, who wants to be scolded!

Of course, even if the reputation of the Qingzhu Gang is better, they only want money, not life, and they will not rob all of other people's property every time, they will always be left by others to survive, but after all, they are doing business without capital, can you expect those who have been robbed by you to praise you?

Therefore, these Qingzhu Gang disciples have been used to being scolded before, but now that they are being praised by others, it is the first time to praise them in person, so they are naturally more happy!

And they are not only praised by others, but also the harvest is very large, those who are unkind to the rich are rich one by one, every time they judge those sinful rich families in a county town, their harvest is very great, the four county towns, without exception, they never worry about the harvest is not enough, they are worried that the harvest is too much, they can't take it away at all! Every time they have to distribute what they can't take away to the civilians in the city!

Since raiding the homes of those who are not benevolent to the rich has already given them so much wealth that they cannot take away, why should they touch the very few rich families who are not very harsh and those civilians who do not have much oil and water? To put it simply, they are all fed with big fish and meat, where can they look at the coarse tea and light rice in the homes of the common people?

After breaking the four cities, although it was only four county seats, the harvest of the volunteers was already very large, and they were less than 3,000 people, and it would not be a problem for those treasures to feed them for seven or eight years!

Therefore, after Wang Quan and Li Yan discussed, they decided to start accepting people! After the two of them discussed, they decided to accept people mainly from two ways, one was to spread the news that their volunteer army was the White Silk Army, so that it would naturally attract many people who wanted to defect to the righteous army to join them!

The second is that they take the initiative to subdue various underworld gangs, born in this troubled world, almost every hundred and eighty miles can meet a gang of robbers who occupy the mountains as kings, although there is no lack of those vicious, murderous bandit gangs, but the vast majority of them are some poor people who have been forced to have no way to live, and then they have gone to the extreme!

And their target is these poor people, of course, although they recruit people, but not everyone wants them, those who only rob property, they will want it, after all, although robbery is not right, but born in this troubled world, you can't ask others to starve to death without robbing, right?

But those who not only rob property, but even harm people's lives, they will never want it, and if the circumstances are serious, they will even directly kill them!

However, no matter which channel you use to join the Volunteers, you must go through a half-year training before you can be officially incorporated into the Volunteers, and the training location is in the former Qingzhu Gang's general rudder, which is also nicknamed the recruit training camp by all the Volunteers!

Unconsciously, another year and a half passed, and in this year and a half, the number of the Volunteers expanded from a regiment of less than 3,000 at the beginning to a division of nearly 30,000 at present! This does not include the less than 10,000 recruits who are still in the boot camp and have not been formally incorporated into the Volunteers!

In a year and a half, Li Yan and the volunteers traveled all over the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and captured more than a dozen county seats, but they never really occupied a certain city!

First, the volunteers are still very immature, they are only 30,000 people, although the number is quite a lot, but compared with the Ming army, it is still too weak after all!

Second, the vast majority of the Ming army's combat effectiveness is very poor, but there are still a few troops with strong combat effectiveness, such as Sun Chuanting, who has been chasing Li Zicheng, Zheng Chenggong, who guarded the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and Wu Sangui, who guarded Shanhaiguan!

Wang Quan and Li Yan are confident that under the premise of the same equipment and quantity, the volunteers are not inferior to any army of the Ming Dynasty, but those elites of the Ming Dynasty not only far exceed the number of volunteers, but also have a large number of firearms that the volunteers have no channels to get, and the muskets are better, the muskets of this era have limited power and limited range, and they are not unable to deal with it, the key is artillery, the royal power They have no channels to get these things, relying on the weak defense of the small county town, and only 30,000 volunteers, they are not sure to hold a small county town!

Not to mention that it is impossible to count on the royal power to make muskets and artillery, first, he has no channels to get so much iron, and second, he was just a programmed ape before he crossed over, expecting him to make muskets and artillery in ancient times?

Although he brought some methods for casting muskets and cannons, what is the use of just having methods? Do you expect him, a programmed ape, to make steel and iron by himself? This is too difficult for a programmer ape, right? The craftsman who has the craft to cast muskets and cannons has long been registered by the Ming Dynasty, and it is very precious, and the royal power is not capable of getting those treasures!

Not to mention the royal power, even if it is the princess Ah Jiu, it is impossible to get those people, besides, it is not easy for the royal power to go and say to Ah Jiu, do you want the royal power to say to Ah Jiu, in vain, I know that you are the princess of Daming, go and get me a few craftsmen who can make muskets and artillery, I will make your father's rebellion!

Although Ah Jiu didn't denounce him, she didn't plan to help him rebel, she just didn't help each other at most! This was too cruel for Ah Jiu! Besides, Ah Jiu couldn't do it!

Of course, the Volunteers have become a big problem for the Ming Army, and in the hearts of the Ming Dynasty, the threat of the Volunteers is even greater than that of Li Zicheng! However, the Volunteers are so elusive that even with the intelligence ability of the Jinyi Guard, they still can't catch the tail of the Volunteers! Of course, this is also related to the fact that in the troubled times, the intelligence ability of the Jinyi Guard was greatly restricted!
