Chapter 68 County People’s Strong Team

With soldiers in hand, there is no panic in mind. Especially in troubled times like the late Ming Dynasty.

After returning from the inspection in Sitongzhai, Lin Feng felt more confident. With such a backbone of more than a hundred people and well-equipped equipment, if something happened, he could easily mobilize and coerce some people to form a team of thousands of people. Not a problem.

In the late Ming Dynasty, this was equivalent to the military strength under the jurisdiction of a general. Moreover, equipment, money and food are definitely not as sufficient as Lin Feng.

At present, Lin Feng's most direct enemy is Liu Jingsheng of the Qianhu family of Yulin Guards. He raided the Liu family in Dabao Town and sentenced his nephew to beheading. The hatred value is probably full.

It is estimated that this kind of soldier will definitely not abide by the rules at this time. He is probably thinking of messing with himself all the time. All he relies on is the hundreds of soldiers in his hands.

Now that the group's escort team has basically taken shape, it should be no problem to resist Liu Qianhu's secret moves. Even if it's obvious, he probably wouldn't dare to do it now.

As private forces are mobilized, the county government's defense force cannot be relaxed.

Lin Feng arrived at the county martial arts field where the people's strong team was stationed. Fang Tiezhu came up to him immediately and said, "Sir, you are here."

"Let's take a look at your situation. Have you recruited everyone recently?" Lin Feng asked.

"The 200 Minzhuang team members have been recruited and are training now." Fang Tiezhu replied.

Lin Feng arrived at the training ground and saw two hundred members of the Minzhuang team training in formation. They walked back and forth a few times, with strong steps and full energy. They were already looking good.

The main thing is that the clothes are unified, and they look neat and tidy, and they have a bit of a military feel.

Lin Feng looked at it and asked: "Are all the weapons of the Minzhuang team equipped?"

"Back to my lord, some were seized in Gaoliang Village last time. Recently, I ordered a hundred machetes from Sledgehammer Iron Art. Everyone's weapons are equipped, but they are basically cold weapons. There are also a few protective armors. Ten sets, and others are being ordered one after another." Fang Tiezhu replied.

"Where are the three squatting tiger cannons captured last time?" Lin Feng asked.

"We have set up a special artillery team with 20 people. Now they have learned how to fire artillery. Once the enemy attacks, they will be responsible for blocking the enemy with artillery at the top of the city."

"Look for a way to see if you can buy a few more artillery pieces. These three cannons are too few to defend the city," Lin Feng said.

"As long as you have money, the gangsters like Yulinwei are willing to sell anything. Then you can just find a way to buy a few doors from them."

"Is the quality of their artillery unreliable? Don't let it explode after just a few shots. I think it's better to let the Sitongzhai Ordnance Factory cast it by itself. Don't waste this money."

"It's true that the quality of the imperial court's firearms is indeed not very good."

"How about the food? Can all the team members have enough to eat?" Lin Feng changed the topic and asked.

"Last time, the adults specially allocated money to increase the food expenses. Now there is no problem in eating. You see, everyone is much stronger." Fang Tiezhu pointed at the team members and replied.

"Well, it looks like he's improving well. He doesn't look like he's hungry." Lin Feng said.

The two of them talked as they walked and arrived at the escort team's public house. Lin Feng asked Fang Tiezhu to call Wang Qin.

Wang Qin came very quickly, trotted all the way to Lin Feng and said, "Sir, do you have another mission for me to take?"

"I'm going to let you serve as the deputy captain of the Zhenming Group's escort team. Are you willing?" Lin Feng asked directly.

Wang Qin has spent a lot of time with Lin Feng recently and learned about some of the Zhenming Group's situation. He immediately replied: "I will follow your arrangements." "Okay, then you can take over the handover here and quickly go to the group escort team to report and cooperate with Fang Dashan to arrest him." Build up the escort team well," Lin Feng ordered.

"Understood, I will definitely live up to your trust," Wang Qin said, cupping his fists.

"Ah, sir, you can't do this. You transferred Fang Xiaoyu and Wang Qin away, and I have no one here." Fang Tiezhu complained.

Lin Feng patted Fang Tiezhu on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, there will always be people. Let Fang Qingshi help you first, he is also very skilled. In addition, you have recruited so many people, so you should pay more attention to discovering talents. A newly formed team like ours must be based on meritocracy.”

"Understood, sir, I will organize an assessment immediately and try to find more key talents." Fang Tiezhu replied immediately.

"That's right! I believe you will be able to build the Minzhuang team well." Lin Feng encouraged.

At noon, Lin Feng stayed at Minzhuang Team for dinner.

Lunch was yellow rice, and the vegetable was cabbage and tofu. It was stewed in a big pot, and a little bit of fatty pork slices were stir-fried in it. It was browned and exuded a nice meaty aroma.

In the late Ming Dynasty, this was a rare good meal, and everyone enjoyed it.

Lin Feng refused Fang Tiezhu's arrangement to treat him to Xiaozao. Like everyone else, he also bought a bowl of rice and a spoonful of vegetables, found a random table and sat down to eat.

The three Minzhuang team members at the same table immediately remembered to salute. Lin Feng stopped them and said that there was no need for so many etiquettes when eating, and then chatted with them about home affairs.

This is also a trick Lin Feng learned in "Infantry Command Basics". If you want to win the trust of grassroots officers and soldiers, you must find more time to spend time with them, have a meal, chat, etc.

During the chat, Lin Feng also discovered that a team member named Gao Rui was very good. He used to be a soldier in the Shanxi frontier army. Because he was dissatisfied with his boss for embezzling military pay, he reported it to his superiors. As a result, he was retaliated by his boss and almost got cheated. Died on the battlefield, escaped after recovering his life.

Because there was nothing to earn a living at home, and because he heard that Lin Feng had a good reputation as an official, he was drafted into the Minzhuang Corps. He was very good both in martial arts and as a person.

Lin Feng returned to the county government office after dinner. Before leaving, he specifically told Fang Tiezhu to pay close attention to and train Gao Rui.

This is why as long as we pay attention to exploring, there will be talents everywhere.

To the west of the city, there is a residence for hundreds of households in Fugu.

Yu Lin from a hundred households was gathering his two general banners and some of his cronies, small banners, to have a drink.

A general named Mao Dayong said while drinking: "Yu Tou, I heard that the county government has established a people's strength team, recruiting nearly two hundred people, and training all day long. The momentum is quite huge."

"Hmph, what can some civilians do?" Another general bannerman, Zhao Qi, said disdainfully. Although their guard station's combat effectiveness was scum, they looked down upon Minzhuang quite righteously.

This is also consistent with the chain of contempt in the Ming army, where the frontier troops looked down on the local troops, the local troops looked down on the guardsmen, and the guards looked down on Minzhuang.

"You guys should pay more attention to me recently to understand the details of Minzhuang Team. This Magistrate of Lin County raided the home of Liu Qianhu, and Qianhu sent an order saying that there have been recent actions against him, and we should cooperate when the time comes. You all keep an eye on me."

"Don't worry, Yu Tou. We must all listen to you and Mr. Qianhu. No county magistrate can do anything." Several general banners and small banners shouted.

However, a small flag named Guo Zheng in the banquet had very flashing eyes. He just went along with it and made a pretense. When no one was paying attention, he showed no sign of following him to the end.
