Chapter 348 Forming the Tiance Guard!
"Yu Rou, you haven't recovered yet, so you can't have sex for the time being!"
Based on the principle of being lustful but not lewd, Li Changsheng still suppressed his inner restlessness and gave advice rationally.
"Husband, I just feel lonely and want you to hold me while I sleep at night. I didn't say we have to sleep together!"
"However, my husband, if you perform well, Yurou will have other rewards!"
When talking about rewards, Yu Rou stood on tiptoe, gently bit Li Changsheng's earlobe, and moaned softly.
The remaining half sentence was so low and whimpering that even Li Changsheng, who had been with women for a long time, felt overwhelmed and shuddered involuntarily.
……
The next day, when the sun was already high in the sky, Li Changsheng finally woke up lazily from Yu Rou's gentle embrace.
"Husband, you're awake!"
Yu Rou had already woken up and was now holding her cheek with her hands, looking at Li Changsheng with interest.
Li Changsheng was frightened and quickly checked his body. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he felt relieved.
"Yu Rou, when did you wake up?"
Yu Rou's dimples spun lightly: "I've been awake for a while!"
Li Changsheng asked, "After you woke up, did you keep staring at me?"
Yu Rou said with a smile: "My lord, you are so majestic, I couldn't help but take a few more glances at you!"
Li Changsheng said, "That's right. It's all my fault for my uncontrollable charm!"
Yu Rou: “???”
Li Changsheng's two arrogant words completely made her feel helpless.
Li Changsheng jumped up quickly and put on his clothes.
Seeing Yu Rou was about to put on her clothes, he suddenly thought of something and reminded her:
"Yu Rou, you are so beautiful. You are really eye-catching and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble. Otherwise, why not change into men's clothes?"
Yu Rou smiled and said sweetly, "Okay, I'll listen to my husband!"
Yu Rou, wearing men's clothes, looks a bit like Shangguan Haitang in "The World's Number One" in men's clothing, and appears to be very heroic.
However, her peach blossom eyes were still full of charm and enchantment, making people dare not look directly at them.
After finishing all this, Li Changsheng led 500 cavalrymen out of the east gate of Luodu and headed straight towards Yanshi.
Along the way, there were many defeated soldiers who had not yet withdrawn when King Zhao retreated.
These defeated soldiers occupied the mountains and became kings, plundering passing merchants and exploiting the surrounding people.
Li Changsheng ordered his five hundred veterans to disguise themselves as merchants.
Use yourself as bait to attract the bandits to come and rob.
The bandits were short-sighted and short of supplies, so they fell into the trap.
The result is naturally predictable.
Although they are more numerous and powerful, they are ten times more numerous than Li Changsheng's side.
But they are just a group of rabble, and there are many orders coming from different places without a unified command.
Although Li Changsheng only has 500 people, they are all veterans who have fought in many battles, and each of them can fight ten enemies at once.
Five hundred versus five thousand, the advantage is on my side!
So, after just one encounter, Li Changsheng led 500 cavalrymen, like a sharp knife, to divide and surround the 5,000 defeated soldiers and defeat them one by one.
Li Changsheng took the lead and killed several bandit leaders in succession.
They were so terrified that they fled in all directions.
After this battle, no one on Li Changsheng's side was killed, and only seventeen were injured.
Moreover, most of the 17 injured people fell off their horses accidentally during the charge because the road was too rugged and uneven, and they were not injured in the fighting.
As for the bandits, more than 300 were killed on the spot, nearly 1,000 were injured, and more than 20 leaders of all sizes were killed.
There were also two or three thousand defeated soldiers who laid down their weapons and surrendered.
Li Changsheng also followed the previous practice and dragged out all the evil leaders and beheaded them in public in order to establish his authority.
The remaining captives, including those who were physically strong, were directly incorporated into the new army.
Those with pale faces and thin bodies were sent to mine in Funiu Mountain.
According to Li Changsheng's previous arrangements, Du Dalong, Zhen Meng and others actually found several mineral veins in Funiu Mountain, including silver mines, coal mines, and iron mines.
However, no gold mine has been found yet.
Li Changsheng knew that there must be a gold mine nearby.
Shanggong Gold Mine and Hugou Gold Mine are both famous gold mines in later generations.
Not only does it have gold mines, but its molybdenum reserves also rank first in the country and are one of the three largest molybdenum mines in the world.
There is also a lead mine, which ranks among the top three in the country.
It’s a pity that these molybdenum and lead mines cannot be used for the time being in Kyushu, where productivity is low.
Upon learning that Li Changsheng was coming, Yanshi County Magistrate Du Yuan immediately went to greet him.
When he saw that Li Changsheng was really still alive, even at such an old age, he burst into tears of joy.
After a brief greeting, Li Changsheng explained his purpose.
Du Yuan naturally cooperated fully with this.
In recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued.
As long as they can have enough food and no salary, applicants will come in droves like a tide.
What's more, Li Changsheng has an excellent reputation here.
Therefore, the conscription order was issued.
However, within just a few days, more than 100,000 people signed up.
After a simple screening, Li Changsheng kept 50,000 people.
He organized the remaining 50,000 people to open up wasteland and mine.
Li Changsheng divided the 50,000 new recruits into five battalions, with 10,000 people in each battalion.
Five hundred battle-hardened veterans brought from Longxiong Guard.
All of them were promoted to generals.
The twenty hundred-rank generals were all promoted to thousand-rank generals.
The five thousand-man generals were directly promoted to brigade commanders.
As for grassroots officers such as squad leaders and sergeants, they are promoted based on merit among the new recruits.
In this way, the general framework of the entire Tiance Guard was barely completed.
Next, Li Changsheng brought all the new troops of Tiancewei into Funiu Mountain for training.
After training for ten days or half a month, they will be able to understand the flag signals and hear the drum beats.
They began to practice combat with the surrounding bandits and robbers.
In this way, after three months of actual combat training, all the bandits within hundreds of miles around were wiped out.
Compared with the initial mob, the entire Tiance Guard now looks quite elite.
However, it only resembles it somewhat.
At present, it is still a silver-like wax spear head, which looks good but is not practical.
If they were brought in front of elite troops like the Dragon Guards and the Tiger Wing Guards, they would still be a mob and not even a match for them.
Therefore, if you want to transform into a truly elite army, you still need to go through the baptism of blood and fire.
In addition, Li Changsheng had a sudden idea.
I plan to use this opportunity to recruit another team of special forces.
After secretly making up his mind, Li Changsheng asked the kitchen to slaughter two big fat pigs.
They also set up a large iron pot on the training ground and stewed meat in the open air.
The pigs here, although not castrated, have a strong fishy smell.
Those wealthy families, officials and businessmen could not stand the fishy smell and despised it, considering it as low-quality meat.
But for these poor people who dare not even eat grass roots or tree bark, this fat meat is undoubtedly a delicacy from the mountains and the sea.
In addition, it was freezing cold and the training was extremely physically demanding.
Therefore, when they smelled the aroma of meat, they all drooled.
Li Changsheng saw that the time had come and shouted to everyone, "Brothers, you've been training for so long, you must be tired and hungry. Do you want to eat some big chunks of meat and drink some wine?"
The sound of his voice was not too loud.
But it can be accurately transmitted to the ears of every soldier.
Therefore, when these 50,000 soldiers heard Li Changsheng's words, they became excited and howled like hungry wolves.
"Think, think, think!"
Li Changsheng asked: "What do you want to do?"
The soldiers shouted: "Eat meat, eat meat, eat meat!"
