"Master Zhao, is this really okay? Just teach them equestrian skills? Although we are not very good at using firearms, we still have about a dozen.
How about letting some people use firearms so they can get started quickly? "
Along the way, after hearing Zhao Ming's instructions, Chang Wei felt that his brain might be broken. How could he kill people and only teach them how to ride horses instead of how to kill them?
It's like being a soldier who only teaches you how to march but not how to shoot.
"Need not!"
Zhao Ming shook his head. He had seen Fengjiazhuang's firearms before.
That old-fashioned thing has a long range but not a shooting range, a good reloading speed but not a reloading speed, and it’s so easy to explode.
Even if he only pays attention to the first wave of killing, he is too lazy to use it. This is a quick deal, and those fancy things are useless.
Take advantage of numbers and speed to launch a surprise attack quickly.
"Uh... But Mr. Zhao, as you said, in a few days we will... But we will..."
As he spoke, Lao Chang looked around and said in a low voice, "We are going to rob the army of food! This... let them use a knife. What if they don't know how to cut it?"
Zhao Ming had already informed Chang Wei of his next actions along the way.
But this matter has not been told to everyone yet. It is too big a matter, and there may still be elaborate operations by knife bandits in Zhuangzi.
If everyone knows about this, even if it succeeds, it will be the oriole behind.
"Haha, don't worry, we are doing a life-threatening business this time! You know how to risk your life, right? People don't need to be taught when they are risking their lives!"
Zhao Ming's words made Chang Wei fall into deep thought.
If you think about it carefully, this statement is true.
Zhao Ming naturally did this after careful consideration.
He has seen with his own eyes how terrifying people can become in extreme situations.
They can even eat their own compatriots, and turn anything around them into weapons to kill their fellow humans. Even nails, teeth, and body parts can be used like crazy to kill others.
This is why he asked Lao Chang to deliberately select a group of disaster victims to join the group.
That's right, the selected victims all rushed into the convoy.
This group of people is a group of people with huge appetites. It should be said that all disaster victims basically have big appetites.
After being starved for a long time, they will eat a lot of food instinctively and spontaneously when they are comfortable.
But these individually selected ones have a greater appetite.
And what he wants is this group of people with great desires!
Don't be afraid that they have desires, just be afraid that they don't have desires!
And these people have never learned any sword skills. It would be a waste of time to spend a few days teaching them how to learn sword skills.
Since this group of people can risk their lives just for a bite, why should they learn how to fight? They are beasts themselves, but they have only been suppressed temporarily.
All that's left is to develop their ability to get closer to their prey.
Equestrian training is extremely boring, but also very intensive and tiring.
Zhao Ming just kept patrolling the surrounding environment, occasionally taking mountains and monkeys to far away places on horseback.
He rarely supervises here. The ones responsible for teaching are Lao Chang and his old brothers.
This one-to-many or one-to-one training method is very efficient.
Everyone is stupid, but their physical fitness is excellent, and equestrian is the best choice. It is directly demonstrated in person, so learning is faster than teaching through explanation.
When Zhao Ming went out for a whole morning and came back, he found that the new members of the escort team were already able to ride well.
"Old Chang, I didn't expect you to have the ability to teach disciples. That's not bad." Zhao Ming came over with a smile on his horse.
"Well, they still have a lot to learn."
Lao Chang shook his head, "Now I have just learned how to mount a horse and basic riding, how to control the speed, and adjust the direction. As well as the coordination of various terrains and horses, I have to continue to practice these.
A few days are still short, but Mr. Zhao, you said, let alone letting them become equestrian masters, they can also ride horses as easily as riding women. "
Lao Chang's chest thumped loudly and his words were firm.
Zhao Ming has no doubt about this. He has seen old brothers such as Lao Chang. They are very experienced in riding horses. Not to mention that they are comparable to the grassland people, but they are not far behind.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, Zhao Ming's expression condensed and he pointed at one of the people in the distance. It was the mountain.
"This big mountain...how does equestrianism look like..."
"Uh... Mr. Zhao, you said there's nothing we can do about Dashan's equestrian skills. Dashan only joined the team this year, and he was from Jinmen before.
I heard that he came to our place to do something, but I think he still can't get in, and I don't know if he will suddenly run back to Jinmen one day.
Don't you know that when you first arrived, you were talking about Beijing movies and had a Jinmen accent? He doesn't talk much on weekdays, so those who didn't know thought this guy was mocking us.
There was some unpleasantness, but later after knowing his character, we started to play together. "
Hearing what Lao Chang said, Zhao Ming nodded. He just took a closer look and realized that Dashan's riding skills were a bit worse than these old swordsmen.
You can't tell it at ordinary times, but you can only see something wrong if you look closely.
——
"Afu, how is the master?"
After returning to the house, Zhao Ming took off the scarf around his neck to protect him from the wind and dust, took a sip of tea and then asked.
Ah Fu was sweeping the floor aside and sighed when he heard this, "Uncle, the doctor said that if you are lucky, you may be able to survive this year. If you are not lucky, you may not be able to survive this year."
"Where's Madam?" Zhao Ming nodded and asked about Feng Yunyun.
"Madam is watching from the master's side, and the fifth young master is also over there."
"Okay, I'll go over and have a look after dinner."
——
About half an hour later, when Zhao Ming came to Master Feng's bed, there were only a few maids waiting here.
The room was filled with the strong aroma of medicine and a faint smell of blood.
When I looked at Mr. Feng on the bed again, I saw that Mr. Feng, who was still looking good yesterday, now had a withered face and a gray face. His eyes were staring upward blankly, and he was muttering from time to time.
In his previous life, Zhao Ming had experienced the life and death of his relatives, and he knew very well what the old man had to go through before he died.
It seems that the old man is almost losing his mind.
Fortunately, I heard from the maid that I can still eat some liquid meals, so I can survive for a while.
After a while, when there is no reaction to anyone, death is basically not far away.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is here to see you."
Zhao Ming's voice sounded next to Mr. Feng's bed. The old man's eyes froze at first, then turned to look at Zhao Ming for a moment.
The look gradually appeared in his eyes.
"My dear son-in-law...ahem...I...I'm afraid I'm dying soon. How are things going? Are you having any difficulties?"
Master Feng murmured softly, his voice as thin as a mosquito or a fly. Zhao Ming could only hear it clearly if he leaned close to him.
"Father-in-law, please rest assured that the plan is proceeding in an orderly manner and we have not encountered any trouble so far."
"That's good, that's good! I can rest assured that you can do things, but unfortunately I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for too long and leave you with such a big mess.
Thousands of people have to rely on you, it’s hard for you..."
