Daming kill

Chapter 29
After staying in Xiangyang City for one night and leaving some food and money for Zhao Jin, Li Ping took all the troops in his city out of the city and rushed to the new camp.

Along the way, the elated Song Baolai kept talking like a chatterbox, as if he had been held back for several lifetimes without speaking.

Thinking about it, those people in the camp, Song Baolai and them really have nothing to say, and Zhao Jin has a bad face and always pretends to be deep on purpose, making Song Baolai dare not approach easily. I was suffocated.

Song Baolai is now Li Ping's deputy commander, and he has joined forces with Li Ping.

This was Song Baolai's choice after careful consideration.

These days, Song Baolai can't find a way to recruit soldiers and buy horses, and he doesn't have much interest in fighting and killing, or he is a little apprehensive. panic.

The military was such a foreign field for him that he never knew where to start, so that his eight men now looked more like construction workers than soldiers.

Song Baolai understands that the main task of the army is to fight, and every time he thinks about it, he shudders. He is completely unprepared to make a living on the edge of a knife, let alone be killed because of it, especially when he is seriously dizzy.

Although being the leader of an army sounds majestic and powerful, but if he doesn't have that ability, it is not a good thing but a disaster. As a sensible person, the experience of these days has basically made him hopeless.

Then, when he saw that the strength of others was growing one by one, he became more and more uneasy. When he heard that Li Ping was leaving the singles, his loneliness and helplessness became more intense.

As soon as Li Pingcai came back from the mountains, Song Baolai, who had figured it out, came to look for it immediately.

He wanted to cooperate with Li Ping, and he was willing to be only a deputy regardless of military affairs.

And Li Ping really needed help, and wanted to have a companion. Song Baolai had always been close to him, and he made it clear that he only helped manage the logistics. Of course, he welcomed it.

Zhao Jin naturally has no opinion on this issue, so everything is logical.

Although Song Baolai was excited all the way out of the city for the first time, Li Ping was a little absent-minded. He was thinking about the various news that Zhao Jin informed him last night.

General Fang Guoan, the boss who led Huang Chengdong, was also a general officer, and he was on the same level as Zuo Liangyu in military rank. , Zeng was even Zuo Liangyu's subordinate, and he also participated in the battle of Zhuxian Town.

This made Li Ping very worried that he had caused a big trouble back then.

It stands to reason that the boss named Huang Chengdong didn't need to give him face at all at the time, but he was really intimidated by him for a while?

But this is more troublesome!Wouldn't it be embarrassing to react?
After all, Huang Chengdong's general was not fake, and there were many soldiers and horses who participated in the looting that day just by seeing it.

However, it is very strange that there has been no movement for such a long time!It's not hard to check Li Ping's details.

Is it holding back a big move?
Or is there a more complicated inside story at the top?
Li Ping was puzzled, and the amount of information he had was not enough for him to get a glimpse of the leopard.

While thinking, the new camp outside the city soon appeared in front of his eyes, and Li Ping had no choice but to quickly adjust his state.

At this time, the camp where hundreds of people gathered was full of voices. Ma Yong and Duan Qiang were leading the group to clean up the ruins, and each piece of wood was being transported down from the adjacent mountain. Ping left the order.

The soldiers who followed him all the way south should have played a key role. It looked busy, but not chaotic.

Seeing that Li Ping came with a large group of people, most of the people who were working shirtless stopped and surrounded them, and soon burst into cheers.

Food, daily necessities, and women effectively cheered them up.

However, most of the people who had just arrived were from the city and surrounding areas, but their reactions were completely different. Most of them had numb expressions and few words, and some even seemed flustered.

This half-ruined place obviously cannot arouse their enthusiasm, let alone give them a sense of security.

But Song Baolai was still very excited, he wandered around curiously.

Although this place is outside the city, it is also a little far away from the clusters of residential houses outside the city, but the green water, green hills and wide area can make people feel relaxed and happy.

Hu Zhongshan, who followed Li Ping into the city, and Duan Qiang and Ma Yong, who surrounded him, also looked smug. Now the three of them are really under two people and above a thousand people, and they can be regarded as rockets. It is no longer worth mentioning.

Now, the three of them are closely surrounding Li Ping, waiting for Li Ping to give orders and to show off his grand plans.

But Li Ping's brain hurts.

It is easy to settle one person, ten people, or even a hundred people, but it is really a very complicated project to settle a thousand people, especially since everything is built on a poor and white foundation, the amount of the project is enough to scalp hair just thinking about it Numb.

It was okay when I first came yesterday, but today I brought a large number of colorful men, women, old and young people, and then there were messy things, and nearly a thousand people crowded together. The scene was really dizzy and intense. The sense of helplessness.

"First distribute those leather quick boots and sprinkle shoes to our original veterans, and we have to honor everyone's promises. Song also distributed the eight original subordinates of President Song." After rubbing his head for a long time, Li Ping released the first order.

These leather quick boots and shoes were completed after Li Ping left the city, and the workmanship was quite good.Those small leathers, professional shoemakers and many other craftsmen who know a little about everything played an important role in being able to complete the work so quickly, and made some more.

"This…?"

"Now?"

Instead of the expected sudden promise, what Li Ping received was hesitation and bewilderment.

"Is there any problem?" Li Ping scanned the three people in front of him suspiciously.

"Boss, do you think it would be a good idea to send out one pair? Is it a waste of each person's two pairs? Many of the new recruits are barefoot. We have so many people now that we can save some time!" Hu Zhongshan said in Li Under Ping's gaze, he spoke first.

"Everyone can see our current conditions. I think everyone will be able to understand that only one pair will be issued. As long as we promise to make up for it after the conditions are met, it will not count as talking." Ma Yong followed closely. Later, a similar view was also raised.

"I think so too." Although Duan Qiang didn't say much, his attitude was very clear.

The three dared to put forward different views directly because Li Ping was willing to listen to different opinions these days, and he did not like to talk about it.

However, these three people spoke in unison, probably because they had communicated with each other before, maybe it was because Li Ping had never mentioned this matter again and felt that Li Ping had a new idea.

What they said cannot be said to be unreasonable, and it is even more valuable to stand directly from the perspective of the master, at least it shows that they already have a certain sense of belonging.Otherwise, if you just plan to mess around, the more benefits you can get, the better, and they won't care if you don't have enough property.

But Li Ping has made up his mind on this issue, and he has his own considerations.

What he needs is not only attachment, but also centripetal force, and it is not a good thing to break his promise so quickly and enlarge the pigeons, especially at this moment when veterans are most needed to drive and control the situation.

That's why he had to do this first.

"People can't stand without trust, business can't thrive without trust, not to mention there are no jokes in the army, as long as we have the conditions, we must keep our promises. Let's carry it out together!" Li Pinglue said firmly after organizing his words.

Li Ping's sonorous words caused a gleam of light to flash in Ma Yong's eyes, and he straightened up a little and answered "Yes" loudly. Duan Qiang, who was on the side, was a little dazed by him. followed suit.

Only Hu Zhongshan scratched his head as if he still had an idea, but when he was about to say something, he was dragged away by Ma Yong, leaving only the staccato of "eh", "I, I...".

Taking advantage of the time when the three post chiefs went to organize the distribution of shoes to the "veterans", Li Ping caught up with Song Baolai who was wandering around, and decided to take a look at the whole camp with him first, so as to make a picture. Basic construction plan.

There are thousands of people, some men and women, some soldiers and some civilians. It is absolutely impossible for everyone to build nests randomly here and there, and there must be overall planning and arrangements.

"Leave it to me! You can ask me how to build it. I have been thinking about these things these days. This time, it will be easier to do it if there is enough space. Anyway, it only needs to be simple, and it will be kept for three to five days. Sleeping outside." Song Baolai didn't take Li Ping's troubles seriously.

In another previous life, this guy often helped the villagers when they built houses, and he himself had some experience in presiding over the construction of houses, and even built a small factory. With a lot of quick and quick experience, Li Ping's headache seems to be nothing to him.

There are specializations in the art industry, and many things are not complicated in front of "professionals".

Li Ping was overjoyed when he found out what had happened, and immediately decided to entrust Song Baolai with full responsibility for the construction of the entire barracks, and he also assigned and dispatched all the personnel.

Song Baolai was also very happy about Li Ping's trust, and he patted his chest repeatedly to assure that there would be no problem.

Just when the two were about to study the overall plan, a continuous burst of cheers gradually interrupted the two.

It was the soldiers who had just been given new shoes being rekindled.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Ping took Song Baolai to the place where the shoes were distributed. He wanted to see people's reactions.

Sure enough, the "veterans" were all elated. They gathered together in small groups to try on clothes repeatedly and showed off. When they saw Li Ping, they couldn't stop shouting "Thank you, Mr. General" with enthusiastic eyes. The other soldiers and civilians on the side were also full of envy.

Li Ping knew that his goal had been achieved.

Song Baolai also fully approved of Li Ping's actions without any distress. Although he is already the head of logistics, these things will be under his control in the future.

But then they got down to business.

Especially now that it is noon, you have to hurry up if you want to do anything.

Although it is not far from Xiangyang City, it took a lot of time to go out of the city.Although the management of Xiangyang City's gates has been relaxed due to the fact that they haven't heard of the enemy's situation for a long time, so many people are still packed like moving house, so they will inevitably be interrogated for a longer time.

Without further delay, after walking around the entire camp again, Li Ping and Song Baolai began to roughly divide the camp area according to the principles of separating soldiers and civilians, men and women, and training and living and production areas.

When the tasks were gradually assigned, the camp soon became full of enthusiasm, especially those "veterans" who had just distributed their shoes, all of them seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.

Following Li Ping, who was sweating for a while, watching Song Baolai arrange everything in an orderly manner, he felt relieved and ran to his residence, a small courtyard built halfway up the hill.

This small courtyard is hidden in the green forest, and there is only one low house with suites.The house is still quite well preserved.Perhaps it was hidden in the shade of a tree alone, and there was nothing valuable inside, so no one would take the trouble to tear it down!

Although it is not high, standing in the courtyard and looking through the shade of the surrounding trees, you can see the entire camp under the mountainside. Except for the many mosquitoes, it is really a quiet and good place.

Li Ping needs to think, to think quietly.

He must plan the construction and training of the troops, which is a more important and urgent matter.

The negative impact of rapid expansion is obvious, especially when there are more personnel, the control of the troops is more complicated. Without strong discipline and strict organization, they will just be a mess and easily lose control.

At the very least, he has to first solve the current problem of indiscrimination between soldiers and civilians.

Li Ping already had some ideas on this issue, and Song Baolai's joining gave him more room to maneuver. At least Song Baolai was more trustworthy than the ancients here.

Of course, it is impossible for nearly a thousand people to serve as soldiers, and it is imperative to separate soldiers and civilians, but who will manage and how to manage so many civilians has always troubled Li Ping.

With Song Baolai, Li Ping finally found that he seemed to be able to concentrate on military affairs.

There are more than 500 young and strong, and Li Ping plans to organize them into three full-staffed sentries after a round of screening, while the rest can be handed over to Song Baolai to lead.

It is actually a helpless move not to form more troops.

What is youth?

For Li Ping, anyone between the ages of 16 and 40 is considered, and this is the standard he had to relax.If you continue to narrow the scope and get someone between 18 and 30 years old, I'm afraid he won't even be able to make a whistle. This is the reality.

Moreover, this is still under the condition that there are not too many requirements on physical fitness.

A series of diseases that were difficult to see in later generations, such as big neck disease, night blindness, rickets, too short and obvious malnutrition, were quite common at this time, especially the big neck disease caused by iodine deficiency was more common in mountainous areas and inland areas. It's so widespread that many people don't even consider it a disease.

Naturally, Li Ping couldn't be too picky, if he still wanted soldiers.

With a general direction, how to organize the troops, how to conduct training, and who will be the captain and chief, all become issues that need to be carefully considered.

Personnel affairs have always been complicated, and basic principles are also the most troublesome.

As for whether to go out and grab the ripe rice in a few days, he didn't think about it at all.Now that he has some inventory, he can't do anything beyond the lower limit.
