After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Now that there is a younger third prince in the palace, the family representatives headed by Fan Ting feel that they can count on the third prince who is still a baby.

Anyway, the emperor is now in his prime, so there is no need to rush to choose a candidate for the prince.

Outnumbered two to one, Yang Zhengde's officials were weak and helplessly defeated.

Yang Zhengde and others were very angry, but Xiao Yuanjin herself had nothing to lose.

Yang Shixian apologized to him on behalf of his grandfather. Xiao Yuanjin smiled and motioned to his confidant eunuch to help Yang Shixian up, "Sir, there is no need to blame yourself. This is not your fault at all."

After a pause, he added: "Actually, I already knew this would be the result."

It's just that this was his father's hard work after all, so he couldn't just dismiss it and do nothing.

Yu Zizhen comforted him, "They will regret it."

She was confident in her words, but Xiao Yuanjin only thought she was comforting herself.

Yang Shixian felt the same way. He felt that no matter from which aspect, they should be the ones who were upset because they had a bad start, but after all, Yu Zizhen was trying to defeat Xiao Yuanjin, and Yang Shixian couldn't tell her the actual situation too straightforwardly.

After Yang Shixian left, Yu Zizhen quietly told Xiao Yuanjin, "Don't worry, I have asked my people to organize civilian armed forces to fight against those bandits spontaneously."

Her people are not stupid and only focus on farming these years, and the talents they have recruited are not only good at farming, raising land, weaving, and carving.

In addition to these seemingly harmless general skills, they also mastered "dangerous" skills such as iron forging, bow and arrow manufacturing, and war horse breeding.

Talents who know these things are not easy to come by, but who knows that the corruption and darkness of Daqi's officialdom is not limited to this three-acre area in the capital.

As the saying goes, as long as the hoe is wielded well, no wall can be dug down. Yu Zizhen's subordinates are just like those who have mastered the "dangerous" skills and used various methods to dig out the people who have mastered the "dangerous" skills according to local conditions.

As long as a few of these people are found, they can quickly train more experienced and even masters through the method of master leading apprentices.

Although it is very expensive to raise war horses and build weapons, Yu Zizhen can make a fortune by not taking the usual path, and there are also several money-making experts among his subordinates.

Coupled with the wealth of corrupt officials that Yu Zizhen had plundered, the valuables inside were not just gold, silver and silver notes.

She had given away the gold, silver and silver notes to help the victims, and the remaining jewelry, jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, silks, medicinal materials, furs, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, wood ornaments, etc. were basically handed over to her close subordinates to sell the stolen goods. .

With a steady stream of financial support, the weapons and equipment of the private soldiers under Yu Zizhen are really not inferior to Da Qi's regular army at all.

The plot of the original book and each cannon fodder rescue mission provided by the system provided her with relevant information in advance. Yu Zizhen naturally knew that the pirates and Japanese pirates on the southeast coast would come ashore to cause trouble.

She once again pretended to be in a dream and told Jiang Yunshan and other close subordinates the news in advance. With her previous precognitive dream about drought + locust plague, Jiang Yunshan and others were convinced that she could predict major events in advance.

According to Yu Zizhen's request, Jiang Yunshan personally took people to the southeast coast for preliminary arrangements.

Those subordinates of Yu Zizhen who openly opened martial arts schools, opened escort agencies, did business, performed on the street, and farmed in the countryside were quickly organized by Jiang Yunshan and Lu Mingxuan to form several elite teams.

These people are all elite divisions who have received training for several years. Their personal combat power is comparable to that of pirates and Japanese pirates, just like the personal combat power of pirates, Japanese pirates and unarmed ordinary people. Not of the same magnitude.

Even if they can't put on armor or horses, if they have a numerical advantage, are proficient in some military formations, and are absolutely able to enforce orders and prohibitions, they can still fight against pirates and Japanese pirates who only rely on their brutal style to burn, kill and loot. Invincible.

They were there to deal with the pirates and Japanese pirates on the southeast coast. Those pirates and Japanese pirates were hit hard as soon as they came ashore. If it weren't for the fact that the coastline on the southeast coast was too long and the imperial navy was dead, Yu Zizhen Those subordinates can even make the pirates and Japanese pirates come back every time.

Fortunately, although the court's navy was only wasting military pay, there was no shortage of bloody and courageous people among the people along the coast.

The teams composed of Yu Zizhen's private soldiers recruit new people almost every day.

At the beginning, the people who joined were just to defend their homes and avenge their relatives who died unfortunately. Although they had put life and death aside, they never expected to gain any material gains from it.

However, to their surprise, not only did they receive comprehensive and systematic training in the team, but their seniors would also first let them take charge of relatively less dangerous tasks, gradually exercising their courage and ability step by step. Enemy experience.

Before they went out, they had expected that with their fighting power, very few of the people who went with them would come back alive. As a result, a month later, not only did they come back one by one, but they also brought back what the captain had given them. Grain and pork.

They felt as if they were in a dream, confused but extremely happy. Their relatives and neighbors were even more excited because of this.

Everyone who saw them had an expression of disbelief. It was unbelievable that there were so many of them, that no one was missing an arm or a leg, and it was even more unbelievable that they actually came back with food and meat.

The life of coastal fishermen is not easy. Now there are pirates and Japanese pirates causing trouble near the coastline. Even when they go out to fish, they often suffer unnecessary casualties, so many people dare not start fishing at all. The ship goes to sea.

Everyone is worried now. The young and middle-aged men who risked their lives to participate in the elimination of pirates and Japanese pirates actually came back with the ingredients intact. Who can not be worried about this?

So soon, the first batch of people who joined Yu Zizhen's private army were surrounded by their relatives and neighbors.

They didn't know that the team they joined was Yu Zizhen's private army. They only knew that their captain and brothers were very good. Not only were they brave when killing enemies, they always protected them, but they also treated the new members like them well in terms of food and clothing. He has always been very caring.

Only then did the fishermen who gathered around them realize that the benefits these guys had gained during this period were not just what they saw. (End of chapter)
