Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 281 Shocked

For Li Mi's initiative to join Wagangzhai, the leader Zhai Rang is indeed full of joy.

This is like a top student who came from a wealthy background when he was studying, and after graduation, he took the initiative to join the small company he opened. Is there a sense of accomplishment?

Of course, Li Mi is not only from a top family, but also has outstanding abilities. It would be even better if he could help Wagangzhai improve his strength.

Not only Zhai Rang, the leader, but also the senior management of Wagang Village, all welcome Li Mi's initiative to join.

To put it bluntly, Li Mi's voluntary joining is a recognition of what they have done.

Although in the current era, the distinction between officers and soldiers and thieves is not so absolute, but after all, there is something wrong with the name of a rebel.

Although Li Mi's voluntary joining could not make them get rid of their identity as rebels, it still made them feel that the Wagang Army had become a vassal force.

If not, how could Li Mi, who was born in a top-notch family, take the initiative to join, and would not be able to survive if he was full?

Therefore, the banquet to welcome Li Mi to join took the initiative to wait for two full days before it ended.

Li Mi is also very satisfied with the respect of Wagang's senior management, but it's a pity that he regrets, or is unhappy, that the second leader is not on the mountain.

In private, he also asked Zhai Rang, the leader, why the second master wasn't here?
Sure enough, Zhai Rang's expression was rather stiff, and he replied with a smile: "Brother Wu Dong has been busy recently, and I guess he won't be going up the mountain for a while!"

Even though he was full of doubts in his heart for the first time, Li Mi did not continue to ask, and it would not be too late to investigate after he got familiar with it.

The leader, Zhai Rang, took him very seriously and directly made him the number one military adviser.

Seeing Zhai Rang's complacent expression, he knew that he was quite satisfied with this.

In other words, in the widely circulated stories of the Three Kingdoms, which of the princes does not have the help of a counselor?

No matter how you say it, the Wagang Army can be regarded as a powerful force at the regional level.

Before, Zhai Rang always felt that there was a lack of a powerful counselor around him.

Although Xu Shiji grew up very fast, his age really made people feel a little unreliable, or he couldn't pretend to be compared to Zhai Rang.

Right now, Li Mi's joining just made up for this deficiency.

Fortunately, this is just a little joke in Zhai Rang's heart, and he has never mentioned it to outsiders. Otherwise, if Li Mi finds out, he will be very angry.

Co-authored, he has not yet officially advised Wagang, but he has become a top vase for Zhai Rang to show off.

Li Mi is also a man of action. Now that he has become the first military division of the Wagang Army, he must perform well, otherwise the halo on his body will fade after a long time. Who knows what kind of attitude the Wagang executives will have?

With the help of his student Wang Bodang, he quickly learned about the situation in Wagang Village.

But the more I understand, the more surprised I am.

The strength of the Wagang Army is unexpectedly strong, not the mob he thought it was before. Whether it is training or combat effectiveness, it is not much worse than the local defenders of the Sui Dynasty. It is definitely counted among the rebels. There is only one copy.

After asking Wang Bodang, he found out that it was the second master's credit.

The main force of the cottage has nothing to worry about food and clothing. It is a terrible thing for tens of thousands of brothers to have nothing to do. One bad thing may cause a big mess.

In addition, at that time, Wu Dong's unit, the second leader, was in a period of rapid expansion, and the quality and combat power displayed made the high-level Wagang Army feel very uncomfortable.

Whether it's for better development or for a breath, in short, consciously or unconsciously, the Wagang Army has formed a relatively complete training system.

Of course, in the ninth year of Daye, many rebel soldiers from the Yang Xuangan Department were absorbed, which was also the main reason why the training and fighting of the Wagang Army gradually became more regular.

After hearing the last sentence, Li Mi's face turned dark, but he didn't say much.

Xindao was fortunate that the Wagang Army was located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, whether it was the neighboring Luodu or the surrounding areas, it was not so easy to snatch.

Previously fearful of the hundreds of thousands of elite troops in the hands of Sui Emperor Yang Guang, they did not dare to move rashly, and their power and territory have always been compressed in a narrow range.

Right now, without the threat of the Sui Emperor's elite pro-army, Luo Du alone stayed behind to guard Zhang Xutuo, which didn't make the Wagang Army too afraid, and it was time to do a lot.

Afterwards, under the guidance of Wang Bodang, he checked the logistics situation of Wagang Village.

Didn't Wang Bodang say that the Wagang Army has no worries about food and drink, so he has to take a good look at how it works.

As a result, Li Mi didn't know what to say when he saw the huge granary that went deep into the mountainside and half of it was filled with various food supplies.

This kind of food reserves is too abundant, right?

But Wang Bodang's next words made him feel like his brain was congested.

With today's technology, food storage is not an easy task.

For convenience, or to be able to store for a longer period of time, the grain in the granary is all processed products.

Dried vermicelli made from flour, sorghum flour, and kudzu root flour, as well as other miscellaneous grains and edible wild fruits and vegetables, have been processed simply or deeply, and then stored in granaries in various ways.

Of course, it also meant to guard against someone reaching out to the granary.

Li Mi was speechless after hearing this, Nima's food situation is much better than that of the officers and soldiers.

He really hadn't seen it before. What the hell was that force that used dried fruits, dried vegetables, dried fish, and dried meat as food reserves.

In addition to food reserves, there are equipment reserves.

Then, he saw some weird equipment, and there were regular army equipment, ranging from generals to low-level sergeants.

Ke Nima, what kind of wooden armor, paper armor, and bamboo armor, what are these things?

But after listening to Wang Bodang's introduction, Li Mi was shocked again.

Although these armors made of strange materials seem unreliable, their defense is no worse than regular army armors, even if there is a gap, it is only a little bit.

On the contrary, the practicality of these armors is stronger than iron armor or steel armor in some respects.

Of course, there are also special iron armor and steel armor in the equipment warehouse, but the standard is very different from that of the regular army.

There is not such a complicated process, it seems to be a piece of iron and steel, directly pressed out of the mold.

According to Wang Bodang, these armor and military equipment are basically provided by the second leader's site.

Li Mi was really alarmed. Looking at the whole world, although there are many forces capable of making their own armor and armaments, they definitely do not include the rebel army that has just risen.

Besides, he hadn't heard of it before, where was there any news about the newly built iron furnace or steel furnace? Was the Second Master's site too mysterious?
Even though Wang Bodang was his student, Li Mi still inquired carefully. Such resources are in the hands of the second leader. Don't the Wagang Army worry about it?
worry about what?
Now it's Wang Bodang's turn to be puzzled. The second leader can provide these supplies, so Wagang is naturally quite worry-free.

There are many things here, but it is not so easy to do.

Besides, the Wagang Army has also reserved some talents here. If necessary, they can start construction by themselves at any time.

Of course, there is no need to expect too much output and quality.

As for some of Li Mi's worries, Wang Bodang didn't take it seriously at all, and he smiled and relieved that it was impossible for certain things to happen.

With the personal strength of the second leader, the territory he has at this time, and the resources he can use, he is much stronger than Wagang Village.

These Wagangs, in fact, all know it well.

The current situation is that Wagangzhai needs the help of the second leader, not that the second leader needs the tiger skin of Wagangzhai.

As long as the second leader does not take the initiative to leave Wagang Village, no one in the Wagang Army will doubt the second leader's intentions, so there is no need for it.

If one day the second master really wants to part ways with Wagang, it is estimated that the life of Wagang Army will be difficult for a while.

After all, the days of comfort have passed for a long time, and no one wants to live a life that requires hard work.

Now everyone in the Wagang Army can understand, even if they can take down the entire Luodu, so what?
After all, the materials that can be looted are limited, and it is still necessary to operate well to promote production, so that it can truly last.

But in Wagang, there are very few people with such management capabilities.

Rather than making it cheaper for aristocratic families and local tyrants, it is better to let the second head of the family take over the management.

Li Mi didn't like to hear these words very much.

He was half teasing, half probing and asking, could it be that the second head of the family still has the talents who govern the place?
Wang Bodang obviously didn't know how to answer this question.

In the end, I just said that if the teacher is free, you can go to the site of the second master, and you will understand that there are some things that are not clear.

Li Mi curled his lips secretly, he had no intention of going to the Second Master's site to check for the time being.

The first thing to do is to propose a feasible direction strategy based on the actual situation of the Wagang Army at this time, so that Zhai Rang and other high-level officials can see his strength and ability.

After some understanding, he admitted that Wagangzhai's background and strength were much stronger than he imagined.

However, with such a powerful force, the Wagang Army has been stagnant, and naturally there are problems in its development strategy.

After careful study and calculation, he seriously proposed a plan to dispatch troops to the leader Zhai Rang.

"Big leader, if we act according to this plan, successfully take down the three granaries, and open the granaries to release grain, the number of the Wagang Army will rapidly expand several times!"

"At that time, whether it is to deal with the pressure from Luodu Zhangxutuo, or to send troops to sweep the hinterland of the Central Plains, we will have greater confidence and room for maneuver!"

After hearing this, Zhai Rang said with a wry smile: "Master, do you really think that opening a warehouse to release food can attract many refugees to join the Wagang Army?"

"Isn't it?"

Li Mi raised his brows, but his heart was rather displeased. Nima, do you respect people so much?

This is the first time he made a suggestion, shouldn't Zhai Rang be overjoyed and praise it...
