Jianghu I am the only one

Chapter 242 Patrol Guidance

Noticing the change in Ouyang Ye's expression, Yang Erqing and the others knew that this gang leader who possessed strong martial arts and a huge career at a young age was really interested in someone.

But immediately the three of them couldn't help worrying about each other's identity.

It should be noted that not everyone can do the job of helping the wife of the master. If the status is not worthy, it will be a disaster.

At this time, under Liu Sheng's wink, Yang Erqing, who has the closest relationship with Ouyang Ye, smiled and said, "It seems that the leader really has a crush on someone, but who is the girl?"

Yang Erqing and others seldom go to Longji Ridge as the chief helm, so although they know about Ran Yuehua, they don't know the relationship between Ran Yuehua and Ouyang Ye.

Otherwise, Ran Yuehua would probably be the first to think of at this time.

After all, among the women who have been in contact with Ouyang Ye temporarily, there is no one whose identity is more suitable than this one.

Ouyang Ye is not a real young man. Not only did he travel all over the flowers in his previous life, he also had a real love relationship two or three times, so he naturally wouldn't be made shy by other people's few words.

So, upon hearing Yang Erqing's question, Ouyang Ye smiled lightly and said, "I've taken a fancy to someone...I'll consider the matter of getting married when I get back. As long as the time is right, I will get married. When the time comes Just invite you to a wedding wine."

When Ouyang Ye said that, they naturally couldn't ask any more questions.

Yang Erqing and Qi Sanniang didn't think there was anything wrong, but Liu Sheng sighed to himself: It's really strange that their gang leader, not to mention his martial arts skills at a young age, is also smooth in dealing with people like an old Jianghu.

Afterwards, Ouyang Ye and the three chatted about the Tuxing Banner in the Juyi Hall for a while, and then Yang Erqing and Liu Sheng accompanied Ouyang Ye to inspect some of the Tuxing Banner halls.

Today, the Tuxing Banner has also been reorganized according to the law of heavenly stems and earthly branches, and a branch hall has been established under the entrance of the hall with a single name.

"Since the establishment of my Tuxing Banner last year, I have been recruiting bandits from all over the world. According to the previous discussion with the gang leader, I will first register these people as households, and we have tens of thousands of households."

"However, among these people, there are some single bachelors, and only more than half of them actually have families. Therefore, there are more than 3 adult men and women in our Tuxing Banner who have registered households in Qimin."

While walking on the road, Yang Erqing reported to Ouyang Ye the latest situation of Tuxing Banner in detail, while Liu Sheng made supplements at any time.

"In addition, the subordinates selected those who are strong and willing to abide by gang rules and disciplines from these thieves who have taken refuge in the gang for training. At present, a total of more than [-] people have been formally helped by the Tuxing Banner."

"According to the leader's wishes, Tuxing Banner set up all the halls of the top ten halls at one time. This means that more than 120 people were filled into the entrances of the ten halls and 30 branch halls. Each branch hall has 40 to [-] people. between people."

"However, although Tuxing Banner has a large number of official helpers, there is a shortage of second-level warriors. Therefore, some branch halls are still managed by brothers of first-level masters as deputy headmasters."

Speaking of this, Yang Erqing paused, and Ouyang Ye asked: "Then, among the 120 undivided hall masters, how many second-level warriors are there?"

Ouyang Ye has long understood that although this world is not a world of high martial arts, it is a fact that martial arts are prosperous.

In the case that gunpowder does not exist due to certain rules, and there is no other situation that ordinary people can kill high-level warriors in seconds, warriors are the foundation of the army.

The history books of his world bear this out.

For a force that controls the army, the quality of its fighters is not only tied with the status of armor, food and grass, but even faintly in the first place.

Yang Erqing clearly knew the situation of the Tuxing Banner. Hearing Ouyang Ye's question, he immediately replied: "Among the bandits who came to join us, there are actually quite a few warriors whose martial arts are at the second level or above."

"However, thanks to the large number of Chixi Pills sent by the gang leader several times this year, there are currently 75 of the Tuxing Banner branch masters who are at the second level of martial arts. If you count some deputy hall masters at the entrance of the hall , and the people in the main hall, there are currently 102 second-level warriors in the Tuxing Banner."

"As for the hall masters of the top ten halls, they are all third-level fighters at present. The strength of ordinary Tuxing Banner gang members is basically at the level of first-level masters, or first-level masters."

After hearing Yang Erqing finish speaking, Ouyang Ye nodded slightly.

He didn't know much about the Tuxingqi branch church, but he knew everything about the single-name church.

At present, among the top ten single-character halls of Tuxing Banner, the first five halls are held by the "veteran" hall masters when Tuxing Banner was first established, namely Guan Bao, Qi Sanniang, Qi Yang, Li Qiurong, and Jian Tang.

The next five hall masters were promoted from the bandits who defected to the Shenmu Gang, namely Zhu Siyan, Ma Sanshan, Lin Mutian, Zhao Yuan, and Guo Xu.

This arrangement can be regarded as a kind of balance for the old and newcomers of Tuxingqi.

As for Liu Sheng, after Ouyang Ye had a deep understanding of his military talents, he was promoted to the position of deputy head of the Tuxing Banner.

In fact, what the Shenmu Gang lacks the most is people like Liu Sheng.

Although the quality of warriors in the army here is very important, it doesn't mean that you don't need to use your brain when marching and fighting.

When the strengths of the two sides are similar, a good strategy can also play a decisive role.

However, because of Ouyang Ye's intentional guidance, the proportion of people who can read and write in the Shenmu Gang is relatively high, even the famous scholars and children are quite a few.

In addition, Tuxing Banner and Wooden Banner have always carried out daily activities to teach people to read and write. Although the efficiency is very low and the results are not obvious at present, Ouyang Ye believes that as long as he persists, one day the advantages of this move will be revealed. .

After spending three days inspecting some Tuxing flag halls, and returning to Daqing Village the next day, Ouyang Ye followed Yang Erqing and Liu Sheng to inspect the weapons workshop hidden in Lucong Ridge.

Lucong Ridge is an excellent place to raise soldiers.

It not only has its own iron ore and coal mines, but also has a large reserve.

In addition, the rivers and valleys in the mountains and forests are vertical and horizontal, and the amount of rainwater varies greatly. It is easy to build dams and use water power to forge armor and other equipment.

Therefore, shortly after the formation of the Tuxing Banner, Yang Erqing chose a suitable location in Lucong Ridge according to the discussion with Ouyang Ye, and built a large-scale weapon workshop.

It has been about a year since the establishment of the Tuxing Banner, and the scale of this weapon workshop is already quite large.

"There are more than 1000 craftsmen of various types in the weapon workshop in front of us, and more than [-] laborers. Not only can we use water power and animal power to build armor, but also help the master's assembly line production method to improve efficiency."

"If we go all out, we can get ten crossbows a day, thirty hard bows, a hundred swords, three hundred spears, fifty shields, thirty leather armors, ten chain mail collars, and ten iron pockets. .”

As for better armor, Ouyang Ye didn't ask him to make it, and Yang Erqing naturally wouldn't do it, so he didn't introduce it.

Yang Erqing was quite satisfied with this production speed, but Ouyang Ye frowned slightly after hearing this.

"Is this construction speed based on the materials accumulated before consumption?" Ouyang Ye asked first.

"Yes." Yang Erqing nodded in agreement.

Some weapon materials cannot be produced in a short period of time even if many people make them, such as the strings of bows and crossbows, gun shafts, etc., each of which needs a certain period of precipitation to be produced.

Therefore, some of the weapon materials in the Lucongling Weaponry Workshop are semi-finished products purchased from the outside world, rather than made by themselves.

There is no way to change this point, Yang Erqing has nothing to admit.

Ouyang Ye shook his head and said, "The current speed is still too slow. Emperor Tianyuan is dead. Although the news hasn't come out yet, several princes must have been fighting for the throne. If something goes wrong, there may be chaos in the world by the end of the year .”

"At that time, we must pull out a sufficiently strong team as quickly as possible, first stabilize the existing territory, and then sweep around."

"In this way, the required armor will only be more and not less. In this way, when I go back this time, I will ask the inner hall to do its best to purchase the materials that are urgently needed in various weapon workshops. You just need to continue to expand the scale and produce all kinds of weapons. That's right."
