The military order was very efficient. After the troops were collected, the four people gathered in the commander's office.

Before they came, Qing Cang instantly drew three tasks to eliminate bandits, each reward was medium. Complete the reward immediately for fifteen days, and the calculations would be forty-five days.

The hundreds of people in the old man’s population are very difficult to estimate, but it doesn’t matter. He has three thousand soldiers.

The four of them saluted. "Commander!"

"You are here just right, come!"

Qing Cang was now watching in front of the sand table, preparing to formulate a combat policy. After a closer look, the combat sand table was not only built with mountains, hills, cities, etc., but also simulated rivers. The combat command building where they were located was inserted with a Chinese flag.

The four of them entered.

"Chief Staff Wu, tell me about our food and financial situation."

Now he rarely calls them names, all of which are called by Jingjun. Wu Chaojing is mainly responsible for the management of internal affairs, so he has to ask him about these.

Wu Chaojing held a account book in his hand and said, "From our current situation, a thousand new soldiers have been added in these seven days, and the consumption of food and finance has risen sharply. With the current stock of food, it can support about half a year. And the property can support three years."

The continuous increase in population will increase food consumption. If the shortage is not filled in in time, there will be a gap. Money is the same. Now everything you do requires money. As the saying goes, money can make the devil push the mill, but it is difficult to move without money.

Qing Cang nodded. The man increased by another thousand. Now he has 4,000 troops, which is more than expected, so it is urgent to clear out the bandits. He spoke to Cao Chen and said, "Captain Cao, stop recruiting new recruits from now on. First, to alleviate the pressure of increasing population violence. Second, these new recruits are different, and it is difficult to train labor."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements now!"

Cao Chen was about to leave, but was stopped by Qing Cang. "I have something to do later, so I will make arrangements later."

He turned to Wang Zongwei and continued, "Company Commander Wang! How is your continuous shooting now?"

Because Wang Zongwei's treatment was the same as that of the General Company, he also had a company commander in the military position, and the number of people under his command was almost the same.

"Report to the commander, due to the limited staff of skilled craftsmen and the materials arrived yesterday, they can only produce 100 sluggish bows a day, and it is expected that the transformation of 700 sluggish bows will be completed in six days."

As early as three days ago, Wang Zongwei completed the renovation design of the old man, and Qing Cang also agreed to his plan, but because some materials are in high demand and it is not easy to obtain, the time was delayed for two days. The actual mass production was yesterday.

He murmured, "In this case, the continuous shooting will be useless this time."

Mass production was a little later than expected, but it didn't matter. He had a vine armor, and his opponents were just some unseasonable bandits.

"It's okay, you go down and supervise it. Remember, every hand must be repeatedly debugged, rather than having nothing!"

Weapons must be easy to use and have high stability. Otherwise, if they are in the key, they will not be able to cry even if they want to. This is the quality of military industry, durability and durability.

"Yes, Commander!"

Wang Zongwei received the order and retreated.

Next was the top priority. He walked to the sand table and signaled everyone to wait and see together.

"Tomorrow, we will clear out the bandits in Julu County within a radius of 100 miles. After our investigators visited and investigated, there are three bandits, distributed in the south, northwest, and east. Among them, the bandits in the east of the county have the largest forces. I asked you to come here today to discuss how to clear out this issue."

"Commander, what are the benefits of us clearing these bandits?"

Lin Meng was puzzled, why did he mobilize the troops to eliminate the bandits?

Qing Cang explained:

"Your question is a good question. There are three benefits. First, these bandits are potential dangers. They can reach a marching range of hundreds of miles in less than a day. If we don't have heavy troops here and are ambushed and attacked by them, they will suffer heavy losses. This nail will not be able to sleep or eat.

Second, you also knew just now that our food can be kept for half a year and money can be used for three years. This is only a 4,000 people. We are a legion, and expansion is inevitable. It is not feasible to collect taxes from the people for the time being because our foundation is unstable.

The third one is more mysterious. There is a saying that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. If the people seek us, that is, trust in us. We exchange our actions for the greatest support, so that those who meet the Chinese army in the future will support us."

Lin Meng is easy to understand the first two, but he really can't understand the last one.

"Anyway, one word is to do it! There are only benefits, no harm!"

He speaks more straightforwardly and acts directly.

After all, Wu Chaojing was deeply loved by Qing Cang.

"If you insist on it, there is a fourth benefit."

"I heard it so hard. What is the fourth benefit? Chief Wu will tell us."

"Training! The commander wanted to take this opportunity to conduct some major and thorough drills for our newcomers. The exercises these days have obviously improved our morale by a higher level, but next we face the well-trained Han army and the huge number of Yellow Turban Army. If we want to survive in the cracks, we have to force ourselves to improve.

Another point is that the best people can be selected from these people and they can serve as the chiefs. This can motivate the soldiers from another level, and they can get good rewards if they work hard."

Qing Cang laughed, because Wu Chaojing was talking about what he thought. "Hahaha, Chief of Staff Wu really knows my heart, yes, that's it."

In fact, there is another fifth point, that is, Qing Cang’s target, the elite army. Doing so can speed up the progress of the army.

Cao Chen continued at this time, "The commander has already made a plan, right?"

"Yes, I have made arrangements. Battalion Commander Lin!"

"In! You allocate fifty veterans to add 1,000 new intensive training, so you can't let them fall too much."

"yes!"

"Also, tomorrow morning, you will bring five hundred newcomers, two hundred archers, two hundred sword and shield warriors, and one hundred spear warriors, and directly take the land to clear out the bandits in the south."

He pointed to the sand table and arranged Lin Meng's tactics.

"Remember, you can attack from afar, but you can't force yourself to attack. You will be promoted to the military position of a soldier with good performance. Be sure to bring back food and money."

"yes!"

"Captain Cao, tomorrow morning, you will also lead 500 newcomers, 200 archers, 200 sword and shield warriors, and 100 spear warriors, and clear out the bandits in the northwest. Start here and pass through the mountains. Be careful not to fight against them."

He pointed at the place where the bandits were full of water and explained some precautions. Now they had to lead their troops in person. All of these soldiers were using newcomers, which was to let them fight.

"yes"

"After you fight, come back directly. Tomorrow, I will lead a thousand people to the east to clear out the bandits. If you don't come back in two days, you must bring all the soldiers to support you."

The so-called hundreds of people in the east may be six hundred or seven hundred. This is uncertain, while the number of people in the other two places is very small, not more than two hundred. He gave them five hundred each, which is enough.

"Staff General Wu"

"exist!"

"You will solve this food supply tomorrow! Let the medical soldiers follow their two battalions, two people in each battalion, and six people belong to my troops."

"yes!"

"Okay, let's go early tomorrow morning! You go down and have a good rest and strive to win these bandits with the best spirit!"
Chapter completed!
