Chapter 192 Look at the Poison in the Water Margin

However, the good times did not last long. One thing is certain that it would definitely not last long by relying on looting everywhere. Especially Wang Fei and others were still bandits, and they had no territory at all, and they didn't even have a place to rest and rest. To put it bluntly, the activities were all in the countryside, and they could not even find a place to exchange materials, and even the sale of stolen goods could not be realized. And they would find food sooner or later, so the group of people followed him to have a full meal and hungry meal, and gradually they became hungry people.

Another question is also very important. The Wusha Forest is quite majestic, but after all, it is also a violation of the king's law? Wang Fei and the others did not think about rebelling. The government ignored this group of people for the time being. The main reason is that in this famine year, there are too many such things. It is good to maintain the public security of good towns and major roads. It is impossible to control the wilderness.

But sooner or later, the day when order is restored, we will settle the accounts sooner or later. Will we face the encirclement of the officers and soldiers? Use your head to exchange for bounty? And what we do now will die just to enjoy our appetite? Especially now, Wang Fei can no longer hold on and cannot solve the problem of eating for his hundreds of people.

After understanding this, Qin Bai understood Wang Fei's difficulties. But no matter how clear he understood, it would be useless for him to find him?

Even if the unrelated group of people are willing to help them, the other leaders of Yongsheng will never agree. They will use Yongsheng's public account! As for "violating the king's law", I can only wish Wang Fei and the others to go to heaven to bless them. They may not necessarily go directly to fight against the government just to protect these inexplicable people, right? That is almost the same as raising flags and rebelling. This is a good day of peace, but who has the time to bully the bully?

With doubts, Qin Bai asked: "Brother Wang, what are the difficulties here? If we want us to overcome the emergency, we can still give a few hundred kilograms of food. But I listen to your meaning...? It seems...?"

Wang Fei seemed to have already given up his promise, and he was calm: "Brother Bai, this is how brothers think. I will take our brothers into the gang and you will win bravely. Just give me a seat, don't care about the ranking. When the court recruits you in the future, there will be a future where you have a wife and a cute child. Brothers will be grateful to you for the rest of their lives."

"Cough cough." Qin Bai felt a little confused, "The court recruited a peace treaty? Is it a wife and a cute son? You should go to those officials, right?"

Wang Fei's attitude seemed to be natural: "We don't know the officials, and we are even more afraid that they will go back on their word and lose their heads for no reason. Are you not from Jingjiazhuang? It is a holy place for the heroes of Qilu River. You must be the one who is a hero in Juyi Hall. You are all gathering in Juyi Hall. Drinking a big bowl and eating meat in large pieces, you are the brother Gongming who is eager to be righteous. When we come to join us, shouldn't you welcome him with both hands?"

"Wait." Qin Bai was completely confused. What did this fool in front of him think of himself as? He wouldn't be poisoned by watching "Water Margin"? "Brother Wang, we Yongsheng never thought of fighting against the government? We are all good people who work hard and earn wages. Getting together is just asking for a group to keep warm!"

"Brother Bai, I don't like to listen to you. Your subordinates are more like the soldiers. You can call you a master in Jingjiazhuang, so maybe you have no idea? That's it! What I, Wang Fei, cares the most about is loyalty and righteousness. Since I decided to come to worship you, my elder brother today, you will use your orders in the water and fire in the future. If you accept the invitation in the future, I will follow you to be rich and prosperous. If you want to do something else, I promise to work for you."

The military system of the Ming Dynasty was relatively chaotic. Military households generally knew that in normal times, each household had a military force. This was basically a reserve force. However, during peacetime, there was no need to maintain so many troops, so each garrison had a standing army of hundreds of people and took turns to serve. This is the so-called battalion soldiers.

The soldiers did not provide all the food and salary, because they were from military households and had a certain output of the military farmland they allocated. However, they did not bring their own dry food to serve, and they still had certain subsidies, which mainly came from the local government. Simply put, these people were considered to be half the salary, that is, conscripts who received allowances!

However, generally speaking, there are two types of soldiers in the battalion. One is the servants around the military officers of the garrison. The food and wages given by the court are basically obtained by these servants, so in fact they have become professional soldiers with full salary. The other is the military households of the conscripts, and they have no food and wages at all. They can eat food and not starve to death. Of course, these people have received long-term military training and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than ordinary people.

In short, the servants are like grassroots officers in the army, and the conscripts' military households are big-headed soldiers. However, the exploitation of those big-headed soldiers is quite fierce, and many inexplicable unspoken rules have even formed. For example, not eating after noon. This is completely different from the monks' "not eating after noon". That is, if the army arrives after noon, the court and local governments will not provide the food and grass supplies for the day.

In the past history, it was during the Chongzhen period of the late Ming Dynasty that the Jurchens from Liaodong entered the pass and plundered [Biquge520 www.biquge520.xyz], and 8,000 soldiers from Shaanxi marched to the capital to help the king protect the emperor. In order to save the food and grass, the officials of the court actually ordered three orders in three days and mobilized three places. It was accurate that they would arrive after noon. So wouldn’t they save three days of food and salary?

It's really creative. These officials must be experts in saving money. However, the soldiers didn't eat for three days, how would you react? Of course, it was a big slump, and most of the defeated soldiers defected to Brother Wang of Chuang. These defeated soldiers became the earliest core of the Lao Eighth Team of Chuangwang. Therefore, they still have considerable combat power.

However, Shaanxi belongs to the Jiubian, and the battalions there can still maintain combat effectiveness. If the mainland has been peaceful over time, it will be a mess. So like the Qi family army, they began to recruit soldiers, that is, professional soldiers who receive all their food and wages. The combat effectiveness of these recruits is the most guaranteed.

To give a possible inappropriate example, military households are reserve militias, battalions are the main force of local forces, and recruiting soldiers are the most elite first-class main force.

In small places like Jiaodong Peninsula, there are generally no recruitment, and the main force has always been battalions. In Wang Fei's evaluation, the guards who bravely succeeded have surpassed the local battalions. No wonder he was thinking randomly. Just a figure in the martial arts world, if he had no ambition, how could he need so many elite soldiers?
