Half a month later, it was still in Shilong Dojo. With the help of more than two hundred heroes from the Expedition Division and Shilong's active cooperation, although the name of Shilong Dojo was still the same, the core had been changed.
He has become a soldier of the Expedition Division.
"Shilong Dojo actually has thousands of well-trained followers. This is something I never expected before. Although they are only quasi-army, there is a gap between them and the real army. But even so, it is very surprising.
I'm surprised." Meng Ao said.
Shilong Dojo has thousands of disciples under its command. These disciples come from powerful landlords near Yangzhou. They usually have enough to eat, even if they can't eat meat, they are still guaranteed two meals a day.
Coupled with training from time to time, it is not much different from the army. If you have to define it, it is a quasi-military organization.
In this quasi-army, the boss is Shi Long, the captain is Shi Long's direct disciple, the centurion leader is Shi Long's inner disciple, the ten leader is the paid disciple, and the ordinary soldiers are the orphans taken in by Shi Long's dojo.
Fighting.
The layer-by-layer organization is very similar to the army. The difference is that the army has armor and crossbows, but they do not. The weapons are not as good as the army, and the people who train them do not have the military expertise, but even so it is amazing.
This means that as long as you put on armor, change weapons and train for about half a month, you will have an army that can be sent directly to the battlefield.
"It is incredible that the imperial court in this world can tolerate the existence of such a gang." Meng Ao continued.
What makes Meng Ao even more incomprehensible is that there is more than one gang with thousands of private soldiers. This is the case for Shilong Dojo, and the same is true for the Zhuhua Gang, another big sect in Yangzhou.
Even the Shilong Dojo and the Zhuhua Gang are just ordinary local sects. Each of the four top sects secretly supports more than one gang, and even the Dugu family with the least private soldiers has some.
Thousands of private soldiers.
"It's just the consequences of Yang Jian's injustice in the country. He used political means to seize the country. In the process, he constantly compromised with the world's famous families. And this private soldier is just one of countless compromises." Ying Zheng said calmly.
.
With his temperament, he has never looked down on such a guy who seizes the country through conspiracy and tricks. If his roots are crooked, how many countries can he expect from the Sui Dynasty?
Hearing this, Meng Ao chuckled but changed the subject directly: "With these thousands of gangs, and with the cooperation of dozens of Da Qin officers, wearing Da Qin's armor and a little training, we can have thousands of elite soldiers. Of course, there is no way to fight with the soldiers.
Not as good as the militia."
"The veteran believes that in the early stage, we can raise tens of thousands of private soldiers by supporting and annexing small gangs one after another. When needed, issuing an order to assemble countless private soldiers will shake the world."
Having said this, Meng Ao took out a world map and a manual. The content of the manual was an overseas strategy compiled by Lu Buwei, which described Lu Buwei's experience in overseas strategy.
Including how to deal with infectious diseases, how to deal with acclimatization, how to better reclaim wasteland, and how to solve indigenous problems as quickly as possible.
"The foundation of these gang members is not bad. As long as they keep up with three meals a day, they will enter the realm of self-refining and foundation-building very quickly through the popularization of life-style martial arts. At that time, they will be moved to Yizhou Island.
Their mortality rate will be reduced to less than 10%."
"According to history, it has been four years since Yang Guang's death. In these four years, we can occupy Yizhou Island first. With salted fish from overseas, we will not be short of meat, and with countless sea salt from overseas, we will not be short of property.
, with wealth we will not be short of food."
And if it doesn’t work, you can still grab it!
"Four years later, I am confident that I will have trained 200,000 militiamen. One hundred thousand will be distributed overseas, and one hundred thousand will occupy the coastal areas of the entire Sui Dynasty in the form of gangs."
Having said this, Meng Ao took out the Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty and an old Tang book.
"If the contents mentioned in these books are true, then we can make plans in advance. For example, we can find ways to invite disciples from poor families like Wei Zheng, and find ways to invite Li Jing, Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong and others."
"With Da Qin's magical secrets, after showing our strength overseas, it is easy to attract them. They are all real talents. There are countless such talents in the whole world. There are more people coming to us than the enemy.
Naturally, there will be less.”
Having said this, Meng Ao paused. As for what to do if these people don't come over, it's very simple. He is a soldier, so naturally he will do whatever is done in the army!
"In addition to talents, we can even arrange in advance for the Anzi to enter Guanzhong and join the Li family. Even if only one of the ten Anzi makes it to the middle level, that is victory."
"Besides, knowing the general trend of the world in the future, we can make plans calmly. The south of this world has not yet been developed, so it is not taken seriously."
Having said this, Meng Ao picked up a pencil and drew a circle in the south on the map.
"Both the history books and this book show this problem, that is, the powerful princes are all in the Central Plains or the North. As for the princes in the south, they are not on the stage compared with the north. This is our opportunity."
At this moment, the south is sparsely populated and has a low degree of development. It does not have as much food as the north, and its population is not as large as the north. No matter from any angle, the strength of the south cannot be compared to the north.
"At that time, we can definitely raise troops in the south when the time is right, and at the same time implement the Qin Law and start reforms. At that time, we can directly attack the noble families in a big way."
At this point, Meng Ao couldn't help but laugh: "This is the most wonderful part of this strategy. If we attack the aristocratic families and the Buddhist sect, then in the eyes of other princes, we will not be able to survive in the long run."
"In this way, they will despise us, and we can slowly develop and reform in the south, and completely eradicate the aristocratic families and Buddhist sects. When they reach the critical moment, we can directly dispatch an elite army of Great Qin to determine the outcome!"
Having said this, Meng Ao drew a cross on the map.
"Old minister believes that if we want to occupy this world, aristocratic families and Buddhism are our biggest enemies. According to the Qin Law, the empire cannot tolerate the existence of aristocratic families, nor can it recognize the many privileges of Buddhism."
Buddhism these days doesn’t pay taxes. As long as you become a monk, you don’t have to pay taxes. In addition, all temple property does not need to pay taxes!
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded: "Whether it is Buddhism, Taoism or other religions, they must conform to the values of the empire and must abide by Qin's laws. The sky is big and the earth is big, and Qin's law is the greatest!"
"But this is just a preliminary plan, and in fact it still needs to be adjusted. After all, the level of Shilong Dojo is a bit low, and a lot of secret information is not accessible." Meng Ao added.
