Chapter 183: Shock, Conquer, and Proposal

Thousands of people act like one person, and on the battlefield, they are like arm-to-handed fingers. This is the so-called strong army. The neat and disciplined troops always have more chances of winning on the battlefield than the mobs. Now, watching the recruits take neat steps and circle around the field with expressionless faces. People with a little bit of battlefield experience on Weishan Island are all breathing a sigh of relief.

The recruits in a civilian dress walked by, but the so-called verification soldier was not over. One hundred knights were riding behind and slowly entered the field with horse steps. In fact, this scene looked very funny, because there were more than one hundred knights, but there were about four hundred horses.

The knights were wearing heavy armor, holding muskets and big swords in their hands. Each four horses followed one knight, two horses were wearing vests, and the other two were carrying bags and various equipment was inserted. All the knights were wearing iron masks on their faces, and the armor was tightly clenched.

Seeing these, the unruly men on Weishan Island even forgot to suck in the air conditioner. Four horses and one person shows the powerful motor power. Horses will be tired when they run long distances, but the rotation of a few horses can ensure that people will not waste too much time during long distances. This was the case when the Mongols spread across the Eurasian continent hundreds of years ago.

In the equipment of Tidings, there were melee big swords and spears, firearms and bows that attacked from a distance. Someone who was watching from below muttered:

"This is clearly an arsenal, maybe it will be used or not!"

Such words are naturally just to whisper, to strengthen one's courage. This may be the thought of the knights of Weishan Island, which are just horses and swords. The indifferent eyes of the knights and the aura emitted by the body of the knights, all of which show their experiences and the temperament of killing. These are also commonplace people of Weishan Island who are accustomed to killing.

The noise began to come to the quietness later. The recruits stood on the side of the school ground under Zhang Liang's order, while the Tidings went around the earthen platform where Jiang Feng was located and protected Jiang Feng.

After reading all this, Liu Shier applauded gently with his hands and laughed in a low voice:

"It is really amazing that Master Jiang has these powers in his hands, but some things need to be taught by the students. Later, these are the adults' personal guards. I wonder how much money is needed to provide for them?"

Those who stood on the ground platform were Jiang Feng’s trustworthy confidants. Jiang Feng didn’t want to hide it from Liu Shier, and answered directly there:

"My iron diary needs to be about 300 taels per person a year, which is about 300 taels a year."

Liu Shier's face moved, but he immediately calmed down. Liu Shisan behind him opened his mouth in surprise, almost shouting out in dismay, lowering his voice and shouting:

"Thirty thousand taels, the annual cost of my Weishan Island is only 3,000 taels of silver. This is a good year. Lord Jiang, you...you..."

After not saying anything for a long time, Liu Shier opened his mouth and said:

"Sir, it's amazing."

But the voice was already fluctuating, and obviously was also shocked by this number. Jiang Feng smiled and said lightly:

"I can make money, and it's okay to spend some money."

After all, Liu Shier just came to the mountain. He didn't know much about the sea trade, and Jiang Feng wouldn't tell him rashly here. Liu Shier nodded there and continued:

"The adult is now a commander and a fourth-rank official. If he does a good job in a year, it is probably not impossible for the third-rank commander. The student is following the adult soon, and I want to ask him what plans he has in the future?"

The two of them didn't care about the Weishan Islanders and soldiers who were still waiting below. Tied and the new recruits were naturally standing so firmly after training. However, the Weishan Islanders were originally from the grassroots and were the least disciplined, but they stood quietly there no one dared to make noise.

Their leader, the Liu brothers, were talking to Jiang Feng, and ignored the following meaning at all.

When Jiang Feng heard Liu Shier's question, he turned his mind and knew that this was the same as accepting Zhang Liang as his apprentice, saving Zhao Xiucai for righteousness, and the other party was grateful to surrender, and other things. The situation in Weishan Island is different. The other party has more than 700 brave horse bandits under him, which is considered considerable power. If such a person wants to surrender to you, he naturally needs to find a good place. Moreover, Jiang Feng is increasingly trying to put Liu Shier by his side. Liu Shisan can fight and rush to be considered a powerful general, but no matter how fierce he is, he will not surpass Zhang Liang.

However, after the communication over the past few days, Liu Shier's knowledge and wisdom and speech were quite extraordinary. Jiang Feng came to this time and space and had a prosperous fortune, and he himself knew how to make money. Speaking of martial arts, he had superb martial arts skills and many brothers who dared to fight and rush around him. However, this strategist, Zhao Xiucai, as the general manager, was qualified. He could only be considered ordinary. Zhang Liang was a brave general, and the rest of Wang Qinian was just a businessman. In the past, there was also the wise and calculating Zhang Yong who gave him advice behind his back, but now, Jiang Feng often felt that he was not strong enough. After all, not everything needed to be cut by swords.

It's ridiculous to say that. What can really pay attention to Jiang Feng is Su Guanyue and Liu Fangrui, both of whom are from officials and have an understanding of various allusions and techniques. They have helped Jiang Feng a lot in this regard, and at least they can know what rules are there when giving gifts to Shangguan.

So at this time, Liu Shier could be said to be the person Jiang Feng needed the most. Most scholars in the Ming Dynasty studied hard. As for the more vivid things, they were all masters, tents, and no vision. On the contrary, Liu Shier was familiar with military affairs and could use them for Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng even had plans. Even if the cavalry of more than 700 people did not annex, they would still capture Liu Shier. In modern times, Jiang Feng remembered an example very clearly. When Qian Xuesen returned to China, a US general said that Qian Xuesen could be as good as five divisions alone. This sentence is well said. I believe that this smart one is worthy of a strong soldier.

When the other party asked, Jiang Feng pondered for a moment. Although he planned to conquer the other party, he still couldn't say some words now. He hesitated for a moment and said loudly:

"Of course we will keep our wealth for a long time!"

When Liu Shier heard Jiang Feng's words, he smiled. A person with a smart mind like him naturally knew that the other party was not the truth. However, if Jiang Feng really said his thoughts directly, he would not be favored by a smart person like him. How can a scheming person achieve great things?

Sure enough, Liu Shisan, who was pushing a wheelchair behind him, curled his lips slightly, looking very disdainful. However, Liu Shier still had a gentle smile on his face and talked:

"Adults want to maintain wealth and honor for a long time. At this time, their identity is already the fourth rank. I believe that the career will be smooth in the future. I am watching the cost of adults' personal guards' family on the mountain. It is not far from the gentry who have passed through the state prefecture. I believe that this money is not short of money. If you want to pass it on from generation to generation, you must have a support."

These words have already aroused Jiang Feng's interest. After walking a few steps towards Liu Shier, Luo Yi still stood behind him with expressionless expression. Liu Shisan, who was pushing a wheelchair, watched the tribesmen in the stands beneath the sun. Although the old, weak, and young women and children were all staying in the camp. The ones below were either prestigious old men or combat-capable men, they could not ignore them. He wanted to speak but did not dare, but he was also surprised that his subordinates had always been restless. If he had not been able to fight and have his brother's wisdom, he would probably not be able to control these people. Why was he so quiet at this time?

Liu Shier over there continued to preach:

"The wealth of military generals naturally depends on soldiers. Only when the strong soldiers can they be strong. Although the court has strict laws, the soldiers have gradually become private in recent years. The more powerful soldiers a general is in the hands of a general, the wealth will continue to decline. Although there are death-death soldiers in the hands of the adults, there are fewer people after all."

Jiang Feng looked back at the tidings who were already firmly on the other side, and there was a smile on his lips. He was indeed proud of these people, but it was indeed a little less. He looked at the recruits and couldn't help but feel a little troubled. How could these soldiers die like Tidings? He couldn't help but ask:

“How can we get more?”

Liu Shier smiled slightly, raised his hand and circled the people under the earthen platform. The recruits and Weishan Island were included, and said:

"These people will be the reliance of adults in the future. The people on Weishan Island are already afraid. The recruits there are already convinced. As long as the adults are one tael of silver and two tannes of rice per month, they will use the practice method the day before yesterday to practice for half a year, which is the foundation for adults to maintain wealth."

After hearing this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but be stunned. One tael of silver and two tans of rice. At this time, the silver could withstand the order. One tael of rice could be bought with one tan and one tael of silver. One tael of silver could be bought with five or six tan. Speaking of which, a person would only cost one tan and three cents of silver a month. More than one thousand recruits and more than 700 Weishan Islanders were only 20,000 taels of silver a year. This was much cheaper than the Tiedians, so that the other party could serve him?

Jiang Feng didn't know that at this time, the main combat power of the generals of the Nine-Border Army of the Ming Dynasty was personal soldiers and servants. These soldiers who were loyal to their masters only received eight cents of silver every month, which was already a pity for people.

Although he was confused, he asked another thing. Jiang Feng pondered:

"It's more convenient for you brothers to manage people from Weishan Island. After all, it's been so many years..."

Liu Shier's face turned apart at this time and said seriously:
Chapter completed!
