Of course, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet! The volunteers cannot be without clues every time, and several times the tail of the volunteers has been caught by the brocade guards!

However, Nantianmen has a map in his hand from the Heavenly Dao of this world, and he knows exactly where the deep mountains and old forests are, and where many people know, plus Nantianmen can detect the surrounding radius of ten miles in a conventional state, if you are willing to consume energy, the detection range can be expanded at will, therefore, the royal power has taken people to shake off the tails that have been following them several times!

Of course, sometimes the people who follow behind have good martial arts, and with the speed of the volunteers, they can't shake off the other party, so the king will personally dispatch to clean up the tail that follows behind!

Generally speaking, if the opponent has a large number of people, it is impossible to keep up with the volunteers who have been trained by the devil and often run around the country, unless the opponent is a master!

If the number of opponents is small, even if it is An Jianqing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard with the highest martial arts on the Ming side, he is not an opponent who has broken through to the ninefold royal power of the day after tomorrow! Therefore, for so long, the Ming army has not been able to find the trace of the volunteers!

Of course, a big reason why they can be so free is that they often run around the country and do not have a real base, which makes the entire volunteer army more flexible!

However, without a base area, they are just rootless duckweed after all, with the support of no base area, they have developed to the current scale of nearly 30,000 people, it can be said that Wang Quan and Li Yan have done their best, if they want to develop again, they must find a base area, otherwise, they will not be able to make progress at all!

Wang Quan and Li Yan discussed for a long time, and finally decided that it was time for them to lay down a piece of territory, without territory, it would be difficult for their power to expand again, unless it was like Li Zicheng who used a snowball method to coerce a large number of civilians with a small number of rebels, so that the army could grow and grow at a very fast speed!

However, Wang Quan and Li Yan had already decided to take the route of elite soldiers, although that method was good, but the destructive power was too strong, and the stability was not high, and it would waste a lot of labor, and most importantly, if that method was really adopted, the volunteers they had spent more than three years training would be almost wasted!

After careful consideration, the two set their goal in Shudi, Shu has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, if they occupy Shudi, with the difficulty of the road in Shu, it is difficult for the Ming army to transport heavy objects such as artillery on a large scale, after all, the artillery of this era is not ordinarily heavy!

Moreover, Shu has the reputation of the country of abundance since ancient times, the products are extremely rich, and the mineral resources are also extremely rich, especially the iron ore urgently needed by the royal power.

After it was settled, Li Yan had to continue to discuss the strategy or something, but he was urged by the royal power to set off as soon as possible, although Li Yan was helpless in his heart, he also understood that the royal power would not be untargeted, and he naturally had a reason to urge, therefore, Li Yan immediately set off again with the volunteers, it was still the old method, first break it into pieces, and then find a place to gather after going to Shudi!

There is also a reason why Wang Quan urged Li Yan, if Wang Quan is not mistaken, Shu seems to have been occupied by Zhang Xianzhong in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and now it is the end of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, if you do not occupy Shu as soon as possible, it will be occupied by Zhang Xianzhong in the future, and it is also a righteous army, the Ming Dynasty is still powerful, and there are Manchu Qing Dynasty eyeing the situation outside, where are they embarrassed to attack Zhang Xianzhong again!

Li Yan really did not disappoint the royal power, it only took three months for him to take 30,000 volunteers to capture the Chengdu Mansion in Shudi, and then it took another half a year to firmly control the entire Shu land in their hands!

At this time, Wang Quan had already entered Chengdu Mansion with his two apprentices, and when Li Yan led the volunteers to clean up the entire Shu land, Wang Quan also took control of Chengdu Mansion with the help of 10,000 volunteer soldiers who had just left the new barracks!

Subsequently, Wang Quan launched his own reform in the entire Chengdu Mansion, and the first thing was to implement the laws and regulations that he and Li Yan had gradually improved over the past few years.

Then it was the establishment of the academy, according to the textbooks he brought from the afterlife, he deleted some things that had not happened in the entire era or knowledge that was not suitable for dissemination in this era for the time being, and the rest, the textbooks he originally brought that could be read until high school could only be divided into nine grades!

As for the teacher, he is not lacking, originally he only taught Ah Jiu and Qin Yuyao these knowledge, and later, when he and Li Yan achieved unparalleled prestige in the volunteers, they began to popularize education in the volunteers, of course, the requirements are not high, as long as most people can be able to read and write, but he chose some talented and intelligent people to focus on training, let them take classes with Ah Jiu Qin Yuyao, now, there are only about fifty of these people, and it is enough to support a not too large college!

Of course, every time Wang Quan remembered that a large group of strong men with big shoulders and round waists sat on a small bench and read "open their mouths wide" with a serious face, he couldn't help but spray rice!

Of course, he is not ready to start promoting education in the entire Shu region now, first, he does not have so many teachers, and second, they do not have enough financial resources to promote education in the entire Shu region!

Most of the students selected in the first batch of students in the academy established by the royal power are those who have a certain foundation in the study, as well as the daughters of some large families in Shudi, of course, the cities that have been captured by the volunteers, even if there are still big families, most of them are some who have not done those things that hurt the heavens or acted with some bottom lines, and have not harmed people's lives!

Of course, even these big families are unwilling to send their daughters out to show their faces, helplessly, the king directly asked people to send the admission notice to their homes, under the deterrence of the volunteers, how dare they not agree!

Of course, such a domineering act of the royal power naturally also brought a certain negative impact, just like the rumors that gradually circulated among the people, the head of the Volunteer Army, Wang Quan, in the name of establishing an academy, asked various large families to send their own young ladies to teach, but in fact they were preparing to enrich their harem!

Of course, with the degree of control of the volunteers in the jurisdiction, these rumors have long been known by the royal power when they have just begun to spread, and even the royal power clearly knows which families let which people spread the rumors in order not to send their own girls out, but unfortunately, the royal power does not care at all, of course, he did not do anything to those families, after all, people are also to protect their own girls! Although he does not dare to gamble on his whole family to resist, but the royal power will not do anything to others by playing a little trick!
