Chapter 11 Walking on Two Legs
Author: Hellcat God
Du Yu didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain.
I didn't bother, but asked the surrounding security guards and village chiefs to carry it up.
For this reason, he happily went to the city, and after receiving the appointment letter, he secretly stuffed Wang Qing'an and the fat little black county captain with one hundred taels of silver each.
It has to be said that money can make a fool of himself. Magistrate Wang was so happy that he got a mouthful of blood and opened the treasury to let him take away three pairs of armors and dozens of spears.
Returning to Shijiacun, Du Yu ordered the villagers to kill chickens and sheep to celebrate his official status.
This guy didn't even expect that he would have his own team in just a few months of traveling through the Water Margin world. Wouldn't it be better if he was given a few years...
Du Yu thought about it carefully and it seemed that it was not impossible. The Song Dynasty of the old Zhao family was so good, why didn't he replace him? After all, there is no bigger business in the world than being an emperor.
Another point is that even in the Water Margin world, the Song Dynasty was extremely defeated. Song Jiang, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing were causing trouble, plus Fang La was causing trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, and his vitality was bound to be severely damaged.
If he takes advantage of the situation and seizes the world, wouldn't it satisfy the emperor's dream? Then the world will be his, but he is afraid that he will have no money to spend when he returns to modern time and space?
The more Du Yu thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and he gradually fell into a state of self-excitement.
"Master, the banquet is ready. When will the banquet start?" Shi Huai asked.
"Uh-huh, oh. I'll go over and have a look." Du Yu finally woke up, and now that he hasn't even changed his horoscope yet, he almost became the uncle Benshan who won the lottery in his dream.
Arriving at the threshing floor, Du Yu saw that Xiang Yong and the villagers had already been salivating over the dozens of banquet tables, and were just waiting for him, the master, to announce the start of the banquet.
This guy cleared his throat and lied again.
It's nothing more than bragging about how great he is, now that he has the "official status" of the Tuan Lian Envoy, he can organize the village warriors to protect his neighbors and so on.
There was something in his words, especially regarding the Baozheng and Lichang of several surrounding villages, and he revealed in his words that he would recruit some young men from other villages to fill the team.
The purpose of those Baozheng and village chiefs is to preserve their ancestral property. Since they have family members, any tenant who wants to come can come.
Without waiting for Du Yuming to say anything, they all expressed that they would send young people over to participate in team training.
Seeing that they were on the right track, this guy was very happy and quickly stopped talking and announced that the banquet was open.
In the Song Dynasty, not to mention the common people, even the ordinary wealthy households rarely had meat. As soon as it was served on the table, these people would throw away their cheeks and raise their big molars to eat it.
Seeing that Du Yu's face was full of black lines, this guy suddenly became determined in his heart to replace Zhao Song.
Think about it, you have a golden finger at your side, and you are backed by a modern time and space with advanced technology and industry. Why don't you pursue maximizing profits?
Taking Zhao Song's world would not only satisfy his desire to amass wealth, but also allow ordinary people to live a good life. Wouldn't it be a win-win situation?
Of course, this is just the beginning, and Du Yu knows that he still has a long way to go.
But he is not in a hurry. After all, in the Water Margin world, time flows very slowly in the real world. Even if it takes ten years to accumulate strength, it only lasts one year in the real world.
The most important things now are, first, training Xiang Yong and the minions from Shaohua Mountain, and second, keeping an eye on the birthday plan given by Liang Taishu to Cai Jing, the old guy.
Du Yu combined it with the novel Water Margin and determined that the birthday list would not be simply copper coins and gold and silver, but should contain treasures of higher value.
Only by obtaining those treasures of higher value can he quickly amass wealth, and can he use the Tongjie Shen's money to transport military supplies and arm his own team.
This guy quickly sketched out a closed-loop logical chain in his mind.
After the banquet, Du Yu quickly organized a team of more than 450 people based on Zhuangke and Qingzhuang from Shijia Village and absorbed some people from surrounding villages.
In order to train troops, this guy teleported back to modern time and space and downloaded many training plans from the Internet.
Considering that he was in the Song Dynasty, his focus was more on the military books of the cold weapon era.
There was no way. Even in the Song Dynasty, which was known as the most prosperous culture, there were not many literate people. It was unrealistic to develop a modern army based on firearms.
Guns may be easier, but ammunition is more difficult. You must know that even in the modern time and space of the 21st century, a country with a large population has not solved the problem of bullet production.
Du Yu understood that the only way to solve this problem was to open up people's wisdom and develop industry.
In online novels, those time-travelers who go back to ancient times to forge iron guns and collect saltpeter in the toilet are just a joke. Do you really think you can win a battle with just a few shots?
It is recognized that it is rare in the world to kill an enemy with thirty bullets.
In most countries in the world, the number of bullets needed to destroy an enemy exceeds a thousand. For example, a certain big country needed an average of 1,300 bullets to destroy a fascist during World War II. The Fruit Party needed 2,000 bullets to destroy a Japanese.
The eagle even needs five thousand bullets.
Even if there is a bonus for using firearms to hit ancient soldiers, the hit rate will not be that high.
And this guy doesn't think that he can build a system that provides modern warfare with his little system space and a few hundred thousand in savings.
Since there were still hundreds of years of cold weapon wars after the Song Dynasty, Du Yu felt that there was no need to mess around. He knew that taking too big a step could easily lead to trouble.
When it comes to cold weapon warfare, it seems that little has changed but in fact it is still making continuous progress, so this guy plans to use Qi Jiguang and Qi Shuai's "New Book of Records" and "Records of Military Training" as the main ones, and then infuse ideas to forge the soul of the soldiers.
He still understands the principle of "soldiers should be more sophisticated than numerous, and generals should be more strategic than brave." Of course, this is also because the number of soldiers he has organized is only rural warriors, which cannot be too many, and he cannot afford to support more.
Du Yu took Qi Shuai's military manual and learned it while training his group of local warriors. Even though he was copying the gourd, it was still much better than just messing around on his own.
Moreover, this product returned to the modern world and not only brought in a lot of food for several replenishments, but also bought some "meat".
Well, it is actually the extremely cheap lard fat in the modern world, costing about seven to eight thousand a ton, and some are sold online.
Don't underestimate lard suet. Its greatest use in modern times may be to make soap, but it is a good thing if you get it in the Water Margin world.
What the people of the Song Dynasty lacked most was oil and water. In the eyes of Xiang Yong, those fatties were the most delicious thing, even more delicious than chicken and mutton.
Originally, Du Yu's training volume was relatively large, which made them complain endlessly.
But when I had enough to eat every meal, improved my diet every five days, and had a big piece of fat meat, a bowl of cabbage or radish soup, my complaints disappeared.
Even this nonsense training program can be completed actively, and everyone's physical fitness can be improved visibly.
Of course, his loyalty to Du Yu, the regimental trainer, is also growing day by day.
The news about Xiang Yong's treatment soon spread, and the young men around him were envious of him. Even those who were loyal and the village chiefs were talking privately about the prodigal "Shi Jin".
But they can also understand that now that Shaohua Mountain is becoming more and more popular, who doesn't want to keep their ancestral property.
Let’s talk about Zhu Wu and the others.
It's not easy for Du Yu to vigorously develop the team training team in public, but he doesn't have this worry in the village.
Especially after capturing nearly 700 officers and soldiers, Shaohua Mountain's strength has increased a lot.
At the beginning, Zhu Wu deliberately carried the county captain's corpse up the mountain in order to cut off the escape route of the prisoners, and asked those people to cut the corpse with a knife. He even pulled out a few government servants and let them kill people with their hands.
As a result, everyone is afraid of being betrayed by their companions, and can only stay on the mountain and become a deserted person.
After Du Yu downloaded the book of war, he printed it out in traditional Chinese and gave a copy to Zhu Wu.
Coupled with the delivered lard fat and grain, Shaohua Mountain began a large-scale military training.
Especially Zhu Wu, after reading "The New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Records of Military Training", he admired Du Yu so much that he became a die-hard fan. He thought the two books were written by "Shi Jin".
According to Qi Shuai's standards, Zhu Wu divided the minions in Shaohua Mountain into four levels.
The first-class ones are naturally the elites who were first selected to be trained as cavalry. These people can eat well every meal and have fat in every meal.
The second level is the selected infantry elite of nearly 200 people. The meat is less, but they can often eat it.
The third level is those ordinary minions, with a number of about a thousand. These people have average physical fitness and average combat effectiveness, and can only enjoy average treatment.
The rest are the old, weak, and timid people. Those people basically cannot fight and can only arrange some chores such as cooking and feeding horses.
Du Yu walked on two legs and unknowingly had a team of nearly two thousand people.
