Chapter 45 Next Goal

Xiao Tianjian can be said to have no problem with the training of knife and shield hands and spearmen, but he has no experience in the training of cavalry and scouts. He can only ask Yan Chongxi to help come up with some ideas and let Shi Ran and other three-legged cat cavalry to explore by himself.

And Xiao Tianjian didn't have time for them to train fully. He soon sent Shi Ran and others out and began to collect all kinds of intelligence within dozens of miles nearby.

The purpose of training is to expand. There is no way for such a cat here, so Xiao Tianjian still needs to expand his subordinates as soon as possible.

Shi Ran, Da Niu and others lived up to his expectations. Using some information from Sha Erbao's men, it took less than ten days to find out the situation of each village within a radius of dozens of miles.

At the same time, they also collected dozens of exiles on the road and brought these people back to the nest and handed them over to Xiao Tianjian.

According to Xiao Tianjian's instructions, when they took in these exiles along the way, they only chose those single men with good physical quality and gave them food. ** These people followed them back to their nest.

At this time, for these exiles, not to mention that milk is their mother, they are given a piece of mixed noodles cake, that is, that is, their own grandpa, so there is no need to talk too much, but let Shi Ran and others easily bring back more than 50 exiles.

Xiao Tianjian did this not because of his pity for these displaced displaced people, but because he recruited his own men. In the past, he had no food or money, and no one wanted to recruit people to follow him. Now he at least has some accumulation, so he has the conditions for expansion. It's not that he has no sympathy for the displaced people. After all, he also wants to eat. His hungry eyes are green. He knows the sufferings of the exiles, but he is not arrogant enough to think that he is the savior and can save these poor people. Even if he can protect himself now, thank God, so he can only do this for the time being. For those poor women and children, he can only I don't pay attention to it!

The Ming Dynasty was completely rotten, and it was extremely unlucky. Outside, there were later Jindong prisoners who invaded the territory, so they had to send more Liao salaries, but they caught up with natural disasters and droughts in Shaanxi. As a result, with the addition of Liaoning salaries, they were forced the poor everywhere to rebel. If the poor rebelled, they had to encircle and suppress them, they had to be conscripted, and the conscripts would have food and salaries. As a result, we can only increase the salary. After the increase of the salary, the people will be even more difficult to survive. If they can't live, it will be more noisy. If the noise is more powerful, more troops will be encircled and suppressed, and more food and salary will be more... Over and over again, the so-called Chongzhen strange circle appears. Press the gourd to float, and it will be more and more chaotic.

Therefore, Xiao Tianjian, who understands this point, will naturally not think about helping Emperor Chongzhen solve this problem. This is originally a dead knot, and the only way is for the Ming Dynasty to be completely smashed and establish a new order. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian is not considering what is to save the people of the world. Instead, consider how to survive and develop by yourself first.

After Shi Ran came back with these exiles, Xiao Tianjian's men doubled again, but after looking at this group of new exiles, Xiao Tianjian still decided not to put them into the team as soldiers for the time being. There was no other reason, just because these people let them copy the guys. If you fight a war, even if you let them do some light work, I'm afraid it will be tiring to death. Even if these people are relatively strong exiles selected by Shi Ran and others, they have been suffering from hunger for a long time. Everyone is skinny, with serious dishes on their faces, serious malnutrition, and their physical strength is even weak. Awesome, if you let them participate in the training directly, there is no guarantee that someone will faint or die on the spot.

So even if Xiao Tianjian is in a hurry to use people, he has to temporarily let these newcomers rest and recuperate for a period of time, give them enough food, so that they can recover before talking about training.

These new people were full of curiosity about Xiao Tianjian. At the same time, when they saw Xiao Tianjian's men, they were even more in awe. Especially when they received the meal given to them by Xiao Tianjian, they were even more excited. They knelt on the ground and held the rice bowl and kowtowed to Xiao Tianjian repeatedly. .

Mr. Jin, who served them with food, shook his head and said to them, "Eat it, eat it!" Don't worry, our hands are benevolent and righteous people, which will make you full! When you are in good health, you must remember the kindness of our plate! Just follow us to do things well. If someone is heart-hearted, it will be struck by lightning! Eat it slowly, don't be full! ......”

Jin Fuzi, a volunteer propagandist, kept nagging, and those auxiliary soldiers also learned from Jin Fuzi. While making food for these people and arranging a place to live, they kept instilling in them Xiao Tianjian's kindness. With them, Xiao Tianjian was not worried that these people would not stay with him. He also calmed the abducted people, leaving them a rather good impression of benevolence and righteousness, which made them feel at ease.

"Palm plate, the little ones went out this time and basically figured out the situation of the surrounding dozens of miles. Over the years, there have been a lot of poles in this area. There are basically few smaller farms left. Most of the remaining farms are some big villages, especially Lijiazhuang, and even cannons on the wall of the village, with our people. I'm afraid it's not easy to nibble it down!

And there are several poles in the mountains around us that do the same thing as us. The little ones also inquired about it. Compared with us, they started earlier, and there are more than 200 people at least one poles. If you want to fight against the black and eat black, I'm afraid it's not easy!

However, when they went out this time, the little ones did not run in vain. The little ones followed the prompts of Captain Feng and went to explore the two villages in the north. These two villages are relatively small and relatively easy to fight. They don't have many Zhuangding and are located in a remote location. They have not experienced much military disaster. There should be a lot of oil and water to get! And they are far away from the county. If we do it, the officers and soldiers in the city will not take care of it. Let's start from where they do it first!" As soon as Shi Ran came back, he reported to Xiao Tianjian the harvest of these scouts, and also placed the positions of those poles and Zhuangzi with stones on the ground. In the middle, a small wine glass was used to represent their current position, which basically allowed Xiao Tianjian to roughly figure out the situation in this area.

"Yes! It's no way for us to stay like this. These hundreds of people, who eat horses, consume a lot of food every day. The food we get from Zhaojiabao and Guzhuang can't be eaten for a long time. It's time to go out for a ticket! Otherwise, I'm afraid it's a little too late to find food when there is nothing to eat!" Following Xiao Tianjian to listen to Shi Ran's report, there were also several newly released class leaders. Zhao Er donkey was eager to remind Xiao Tianjian that in this battle of Guzhuang, Zhao Er donkey also made contributions. He was promoted to official, and also got a few taels of silver rewards. At first, he felt that it was really promising to go out to work, get a job, and follow Xiao Tianjian. He became famous, so compared with the past, he is a little daring to fight now.

Xiao Tianjian touched the beard that had just grown on his chin, and put these stones on the ground. There was some regret in his heart. In this era, he had not seen the map of this era until now. Everything was conceived by hearing it and then in his mind, forming a Rough map, and then make a judgment. This is very passive, and many times you can't figure out the details.

Now, although Shi Ran outlines a general map with stones and other things, he can't see the terrain of these places. He has to go to see the situation in person. Not to mention delaying things, sometimes it will also affect his judgment. It seems that it is necessary to let the scouts learn how to draw maps in the future, especially on the ground. In terms of shape, it is more important for them to understand how to do it. At the worst, they can also outline a sketch, which should be very important for his future development.

But he also knows that this requirement is still a little too much for Shi Ran now, so he has to temporarily give up the idea, point to the stones on the ground, and ask Shi Ran, "How far are the two Zhuangzi you mentioned from here?" In addition, what is the terrain of these two villages? Which of them is more suitable for us to start, and the strength of the Zhuangding in their villages? Have you inquired about these?

Shi Ran nodded and said, "If you go back to the plate, one of these two villages is called Silinbao and the other is called Fanjiabao. It's more than 40 miles away from us. The road is not easy to walk. It's far from the official road. It's in the ravine, so few people go there. Silinbao was built by four big families surnamed Lin together. Compared with others. Large households, not enough financial resources, and it was my own family, so they jointly built this four Linbao. The four families put together. In addition to their tenants, there are more than 300 people in the village, and there are dozens of Zhuangding. In terms of terrain, the small ones went to see. The Silinbao was built between the two mountains and a ditch. There should be a way to get in!

That Fanjiabao is a village of a large family surnamed Fan. It is built on a dirt slope. The old rich family surnamed Fan is said to be very rich. There are more than 100 tenants alone. Compared with Liu Jiabao we went to last time, it is not much less, but this guy is extremely stingy. When building the village, he does not want the tenants to live in the village. Inside, he built his village on the earth beam. The tenants live outside the village. When they have something to do, they let the tenants go into the village to hide. When they have nothing to do, the tenants have to go back to the outside of the village. It's really hateful!

This Fanjiabao is built on the earthen beam. The castle is not big, and there are not many Zhuangding inside, but the wall is very high. The small one looked at it from a distance, and some of them are not easy to start, but the small one thinks that it is easier to start in Silinbao!"

Xiao Tianjian is also very satisfied with Shi Ran's report. Although it is not very detailed, it is not easy for Shi Ran to do this. After all, he used to be a layman. He has just done this for a long time, so he can't be too demanding anything. Experience depends on a little accumulation, and over time. This Shi Ran should be able to become a good scout.
