"Check the height again, and all those who are lower than the height of this stick will also be included in the women's camp." The search and rescue team issued another order.

The soldiers carried out the execution again with sticks, and there was another noise in the team, either because of father and son, or because of brothers... Not to mention this era, even on the earth, it is always disturbing that a family will be separated in the face of adversity of.What's more, those who were separated were the weakest women and underdeveloped children.However, the search and rescue team has made it very clear to themselves about the pros and cons of the sub-camp, and it is only convenient for them to carry out this kind of thing as "envoys of the gods". It was the lord who took the opportunity to make a fortune and collected all the pepper and gold coins scattered yesterday, and then a large number of people were beaten with military clubs and even had their fingers cut off.

Today is the first day of the official implementation of "military management" in Elis King City. Many policies need to be supervised by Wu Xiaoqing personally. Check it out.

Most people's so-called "joining the army" is actually just a habitual desire to continue eating free cakes.In fact, the so-called army is not a real army. They will neither be issued weapons nor let them go to the battlefield. At most, they will help them carry a little something.Only the strongest young adults will issue a spear as a self-defense weapon before facing a battle.

Fortunately, up to now, their envoys still have a positive image in the eyes of people in the Kingdom of Elis, especially those who have eaten cookies. Before they dug wells in the city, Buying rich people's houses for women and children has also won the favor of many people, so now when the camp is divided, as long as Wu Xiaoqing stands here, he promises to them that he will not hurt their relatives, and everyone can eat normally Cookies are accepted by everyone.

More troops in the city were still filing out. After Wu Xiaoqing finished screening the square formations in front of him, he contacted Shen Changwen by radio: "How is the situation in the city?"

"It's not bad," Shen Changwen said. "There are more people in the conscription office than expected, and the manpower is a bit too busy. Many people can't catch up with today's breakfast, and maybe lunch is enough."

"Do you want me to arrange someone to send the cakes into the city?"

"Don't do it," Shen Changwen stopped Wu Xiaoqing's enthusiasm, "If they don't eat for a day, they won't be hungry. It just so happens that they can wake up and know that if they leave us, they won't be able to eat cakes in the future. This is very important to our work. Helpful. Wang Youquan, remember to let the food truck pass first, and let the people outside the city eat first, so that the people in the city will be willing to go out with them!"

"Understood, Professor Shen! Guaranteed to complete the task!" Wang Youquan probably watched too many anti-Japanese dramas at home, and now he has a little power, and he speaks like a company commander of the Eighth Route Army.

"Xu Yan, what do the grain merchants in the city say? Are they still unwilling to sell?"

"They are probably still waiting and watching," Xu Yan said, "Maybe they think there will still be a food shortage here after we leave."

When Shen Changwen came back this time, it can be said that he has brought enough currency. In this era, spices, mirrors, sugar, etc. are the same as gold and can be used as currency.When buying grain in the city before, many grain merchants in the city valued the increase in grain prices, so they deliberately quoted high prices and made up their minds not to sell grain.At that time, Xu Yan paid a lot of deposits to secure these people.But when Shen Changwen came back and Xu Yan asked these merchants to fulfill the contract, they changed their minds one by one.

"Do you want to wait a few more days?" According to their plan, it will take about a week before the brigade will actually set off, and everything is just in the preparatory stage now.

"No need to wait," was the voice of the search and rescue team, and he directly ordered, "Search the house."

About half an hour later, Xu Yan reported again: "All the food has been copied, what should people do?"

The search and rescue team said: "Follow the old rules."

The old rule was to hand everything over to the king, and Ellis's patience with punishment was known to be crude, yet creative.

Wu Xiaoqing supervised the selection of personnel outside the city and worked almost all morning.According to the statistics of the search and rescue team, the number of people who passed by has exceeded 6000 people.The spectacular sight of more than 6000 people eating cakes outside the city made tens of thousands of people who were queuing in the city even more anxious.Many people who did not plan to join the army and went south with the king also began to reconsider their choices amidst the protests of their stomachs.

The grain stores in the city are now basically taken over by the lords, and all grain prices have been uniformly enforced during these 7 days to ensure that everyone can afford it and not starve to death. Of course, it is ensured that The lords can make some money.But after all, it costs money to buy food. Compared with the free cakes in the previous stage, and the compatriots who continue to eat free cakes outside the city now, these grain stores can’t afford the flour itself or the price. Attract everyone.Most people are still willing to wait in line with hunger, thinking that even if they go hungry for a few days, they can eat enough again when it is their turn.

After Wu Xiaoqing's demonstration and supervision all morning, the work outside the city has now entered the process, and the focus of Wu Xiaoqing's work has naturally shifted back to the city.According to the request of the search and rescue team, he first went to visit the lords who were still imprisoned in the palace.

According to the recording, after yesterday's "city entry ceremony" and "pre-war mobilization" among these lords, the ideological hostility has almost disappeared, and some of them even asked to write another letter to ask the family to send more soldiers. Join the Expedition—Many do believe that there may indeed be places in the South where spices are unknown to them.Most people used to worry about their own life and death, but now they are gone. Many people are just afraid that if their family members refuse to fulfill the conditions in their letters...so these people are also writing letters, urging their family members to act quickly.

In addition to the spices and gold coins that their subordinates snatched at the welcome ceremony yesterday, King Elis also gave the lords corresponding wealth compensation according to the number of people and the size of the materials that each lord went to the war - of course, pepper and sugar were used as currency. unit.Before getting the compensation, the family members of these lords were still connecting in private, and even went to find the prince, but after the compensation was obtained, all the family members of the lords happily held dances and banquets one by one—because they could finally be sure However, the king did not have any malice towards these remaining lords.

Before nightfall, another elite army of the lords arrived at the city of Elis. In addition to hundreds of knights and attendants, and thousands of strong men, they also brought more than 20 carts of food and weapons.That night, the lord of the family was released from the palace and went home to attend the party.And his son, the commander of this armed force, was summoned by Wu Xiaoqing to discuss the matter of tomorrow's expedition.

According to the predetermined plan, the cavalry vanguard needs to travel four days in advance, and they should start now.The guards and the Duke's troops obviously need to stay to protect the central army. The vanguard can only choose one of the follow-up lord's armed forces, and the scale should not be too large or too small.This family with a spear as its family emblem was the first group of established armed forces to come, and in terms of scale, it met the requirements of the search and rescue team.

"My dear envoy," the young son of the Marquis knelt down on one knee and saluted Wu Xiaoqing after entering the palace gate, "Knight Commander Lance sends you his sincere greetings."

"You don't need to be polite, Captain Knight, come and sit down," the search and rescue team said straight to the point, "We are leaving tomorrow, I have read your reply to your father, saying that you are very familiar with the terrain from King Elis to Frontal Fort, come on, Tell me what you think."

The knight commander started talking in front of Wu Xiaoqing.

To put it simply, starting from the King City of Elis, you will arrive at the border of the Kingdom of Elis in about two days, and enter the Kingdom of St. Louis, the first country in the south that believes in the Xiaoyang Sect. Because of different political beliefs, it is also a neighboring country. , This country has been at odds with the Kingdom of Elis for a long time, and on the most important southward passage, there are a total of 8 castles in this country, the smallest of which can accommodate hundreds of defenders, and the largest is even close to a city.They are the first strong enemies to face this time going south.Not pulling down these castles means that their forward troops are easily cut and surrounded.And to attack these castles, it is obvious that the power of their family is far from enough. If they want to carry only cavalry as the search and rescue team said, it will be even more impossible.

As we all know, in front of a thick city wall, a fully armed cavalry may not be as effective as a peasant who can plan stones.

"Don't worry about the city wall. God has already helped us find a solution. Let's go on and go south?"

If you continue to go south, you need to enter a narrow and long valley, which is also the most worrying terrain during this march.The entire valley is about ten kilometers long, surrounded by dense forests, and it is easy to place ambushes in midsummer.At the end of this valley, where the terrain is the narrowest and most uncomfortable, is the location of the Front Tooth Fort—according to the report from the courier who sneaked back from the Front Tooth Fort, this opening has been completely blocked by the jihadist army of the Xiaoyang Sect Yes, they have now begun to build a city at that location.When they arrive, what they need to face may be the strict defense system of the Jihad Army.

"The current strength of the Xiaoyangjiao Jihad Army has exceeded [-], and it is still increasing..." Lance looked at the location of the Incisor Fort on the map, even though he felt a little tricky, "Maybe we can skip the southern route, You can take a detour from the northern line..."

The northern line was the first time Wu Xiaoqing left the volcano and came to the direction of King Elis. That direction not only had to take a long detour, but also was desolate along the way. At that time, Wu Xiaoqing could not even find a place to eat, let alone a 10,000+ The men and horses are passing by.

"God has arranged everything," Wu Xiaoqing's expression combined with the search and rescue team's words, greatly encouraged the young knight commander.Wu Xiaoqing handed the knight an order from the king's seal and said, "When you leave, take this to the Minister of Finance and receive two thousand gold coins to reward the soldiers, and tell them that we will set off at noon tomorrow."

"Elis will win!" Hearing the astronomical figure of two thousand, the excited knight commander slapped the armor on his chest.

"The God of the Land will win!" The search and rescue team replied, Wu Xiaoqing waved his hand lightly, letting the knight commander leave first.
