Let you rebel, you build the Immortal Kingdom of Longevity?

Chapter 5 If you want to rebel, expand the army first
Xia Hao smiled: "Uncle Li, maybe you are overworked!"

Li Xing did not doubt that he was there, and told him: "Young master, if you are tired, you should rest more, your body is the most important thing."

Zhang San, Zhou Feng, and Wang Tie also gathered around and asked for help.

Talking about the current situation, Xia Hao thought of a question and asked:

"Uncles, I thought about it for a long time last night. After last night's fighting, there are only 700 of us rebel fighters left, which is a serious shortage of manpower. Therefore, I want to ask your opinions."

"Young master, you mean to expand the army?" Li Xing answered first.

Xia Hao nodded: "That's right, our military strength is weak, if the government army comes to attack, it may be difficult to resist."

"It's also possible to expand the army, but the source of troops is a bit difficult." Li Xing showed a distressed expression, and the other three also had the same expression.

After struggling to break into Yuzhong City, in order to take revenge and vent their anger, the rebels showed no mercy and attacked the entire city in a bloody suppression.

As a result, the people in Yuzhong City changed their colors when they talked about the rebel army.

If you want to recruit troops from Yuzhong City, it will undoubtedly be difficult.

Because, you don't know if any relatives of the recruited soldiers died because of the rebels.

Although this is a troubled world, human life is worthless.

But several people are still worried, if they really recruit people who hold grudges against the rebel army into the army, it will be a huge hidden danger.

Xia Hao frowned slightly, the bloody suppression indeed made the people of Yuzhong City fear the rebels like tigers.

In addition to the battle with the three major families yesterday, an unknown number of people died.

"What if we recruit refugees from outside the city to join the army?"

Li Xing's eyes lit up, and he agreed: "It's possible. There should be many refugees outside the city. If they can be recruited into the army, the problem of the source of troops can be solved, but..."

"Just what?" Xia Hao asked suspiciously.

Zhou Feng said: "Let me tell you, because of the continuous severe drought in the territory, the crops have failed, and the people can't survive. Most of them hide in the mountains. It is very difficult to find them."

Jincheng County is a basin. In and around it, there are continuous mountains and lush forest vegetation. If you can't survive, you may find a chance to survive by hiding in it.

In the mountain forests, you can also get some water and food.

Xia Hao frowned slightly. This is a problem. With hundreds of people in the Rebel Army, they are placed in the forest, and not even a splash can be seen.

"Let's do this. Recruit troops in the city first. We have food, and hopefully we can attract some hungry people.

As for the outside of the city, go to the villages around the county to search for it. In the troubled times, there are countless hungry people, try it! "

"By the way, brothers who were injured yesterday, how is the situation now, how many doctors have you found from the city?"

In the era of cold weapons, the number of people who died directly in battle was far less than the number of people who were injured and died after the war.

Especially wound infection, wind-cold disease, etc., purely rely on the immune system to survive.

If you can't make it through, you can only die.

Wang Tie replied: "In the battle yesterday, there were about 100 injured brothers. Some were seriously injured, and some had skin injuries. There were only three doctors in the city and they lacked some medicinal materials..."

"Take me to see it!"

Together, Xia Hao and the five rode towards the residence of the Wu family in the city. The residences of the three major families were all arranged for public use to allow the wounded to recuperate, and to store food, weapons and other supplies.

As soon as I entered the ward, there was an unpleasant herbal smell.

Xia Hao shrugged his nose and frowned slightly. Zhang San and the others looked as if they were used to it.

After seeing the chaos in the room, Xia Hao's frown deepened.

In the room, hundreds of injured rebel soldiers stayed in every corner.

A scene full of mourners, with blood and broken limbs everywhere. There were three old men with thin bodies, carrying dark medicinal soup, walking back and forth...

"With this kind of environment and treatment methods, even those who couldn't die must be put to death." Xia Hao was speechless.

Li Xing came among the wounded, his eyes blurred, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, the young master has come to see you!"

When the wounded saw Xia Hao, who looked like a walking corpse, they were not as excited and enthusiastic as they had imagined.

Just sporadic voices such as "leader", "general" and "young lord" sounded.

Most of the seriously injured rebel soldiers had completely lifeless eyes, as if they knew they were going to die.

Xia Hao looked at everyone and said loudly: "Brothers, I am Xia Hao. I will do my best to find herbs and doctors to cure you. This is my promise."

At this time, the eyes of many wounded people changed slightly, and the voices of the answers became much more orderly.

"Thank you boss!"

"Thank you General!"

Xia Hao then looked at Li Xing, who was in charge of logistics, and ordered: "Uncle Li, I remember that I found some poultry from the three major families and cooked some broth for the brothers to try."

Hearing that there was broth, the wounded soldiers suddenly became noisy and whispered, their mental outlook changed a lot, and there was a smile on their faces.

"General, I haven't tasted meat for more than a year. When I'm dying, I'll be content if I can eat some broth!"

"Me too, the last time I ate meat was before the drought, when I picked up a wild dog bone..."

Seeing the morale boosted by just using a bowl of broth, Xia Hao felt a strange feeling in his heart, and his eyes were a little blurry.

For these rebel soldiers, being able to drink a bowl of broth is much more effective than any spiritual stimulation, and they are no longer afraid of death.

"Their requirements are very simple, to be fed and to survive, that's all!"

Xia Hao seemed to understand in his heart how to deal with people's hearts.

After more than an hour, when buckets of boiled broth were brought in, the cheers reached their peak.

……

"The rebel army is recruiting soldiers. They will receive two meals a day, adequate food and water pipes, and ten kilograms of coarse grains as settlement expenses."

"Really, my family can't open the pot anymore."

"Go quickly. After passing this village, there is no such store."

When the news and conditions of the volunteer army's recruitment spread in Yuzhong City, to the surprise of Xia Hao and others, there was an endless stream of people who came to participate in the recruitment.

The recruiting point outside the city lord's mansion was crowded with all kinds of hungry young and strong people.

Especially, when the bags of corn that Xia Hao ordered to be distributed on the spot were carried out, the eyes of the people were red.

Xia Hao felt that if it wasn't for him and dozens of volunteers watching with weapons, the food would probably be robbed wildly.

"Come one by one, name, age, where you are from..."

Li Xing took a writing brush and wrote down information on pieces of bamboo rafts, which became the certificate of "joining the army."

Xia Hao watched quietly from the side. Although there were not many people in Yuzhong City, there were quite a few people who came to recruit soldiers. On the first day of recruitment, more than 300 people were qualified.

Outside the city, Zhang San, Wang Tie, and Zhou Feng each led a team to the villages outside the city to recruit soldiers.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and the result of the recruitment also surprised Xia Hao.

Li Xing took the list of recruits and happily reported:

"In the past three days, we have recruited a total of [-] new soldiers, [-] of whom are citizens of Yuzhong City with a clean background. The other [-] are refugees outside the city."

Xia Hao took over the military strategy and asked, "Uncle Li, how long can our stored grain last?"

Food is very important, if there is no food, in this troubled world, nothing can be mentioned.

The thirteen thousand stones of grain seized from the three major families showed Xia Hao's courage to expand his army.

"Now we have a total of fifteen thousand dan of food and grass, of which two thousand dan were previously stored by our rebels. If we use them sparingly, it will be enough for us to last more than four months."
