Ye Ying's ambition is not just to be a bandit leader. The development and growth of the village is what he hopes most. Therefore, he chooses to accept the bandits who want to join him, as long as they are not the kind of heinous crimes that make people and gods angry.
In this case, in the few months after Feiyinghui defeated the officers and soldiers, a large number of bandits joined in. Fuhu Mountain could no longer accommodate them, so they had to build some more houses in Feixing Valley to accommodate these new bandits.
The increase in personnel means that the troubles have also increased. Now the leaders have thought of many ways to make arrangements for these newly joined bandits and their families.
However, Ye Ying was not involved in any of these matters. As the head of the village, except for particularly important matters, he usually let his subordinates handle them. After all, the village now has tens of thousands of people including their families, which is more than the number of people in many counties in Daning. It is not something he can manage by himself.
Ge Shun is now the big housekeeper of the village, and Ye Ying feels very relieved to let him handle these matters. However, due to the rapid development of Shanzhai, there is a shortage of both military and internal affairs talents. This is a problem that Ye Ying is very worried about.
Regarding this problem, even though Zhuge Ying was resourceful, he did not find a reasonable solution. After all, most of the talents he knows in this field are already old, and many of them are now in the Northern Barbarians, and they don't even know whether they are dead or alive.
However, even if Ye Ying wanted to be a hands-off boss, he couldn't do it. In addition to talent, there was also a more important thing, which was the training of combat personnel.
The imperial court will definitely not give up after the officers and soldiers were defeated this time. Although there is no news from the imperial court yet, it is certain that they are planning the next action. It is certain that the next time the imperial court sends troops, it will be more difficult to deal with than this time.
This time they fought against the Songzhou Army led by Chen Zhi. The multi-layered attack method of several battalions of different arms under Chen Zhi left a deep impression on the leaders of the Flying Eagle Club.
This time, Ye Ying is also preparing to follow the example of the Songzhou Army. According to the different characteristics of the bandit fighters in the village, he will regroup them and set up a cavalry battalion, a spear battalion, a special operations battalion, a sword and shield battalion, etc., each focusing on training the same type of arms. , and then practice cooperating with each other.
Among them, the special operations battalion is the most distinctive unit. They mainly train special combat methods such as rock climbing, swimming, and high-speed diving. According to Ye Ying's idea, once a war breaks out, this special unit that focuses on sneak attacks and assassinations will often play an unexpected role in the war.
In addition, according to the suggestion of the White Tiger Army's military advisor Jiang Jin, another special team was set up, this team was specially used to inquire about information. In the process of fighting the enemy, if you can get the opponent's intelligence in advance, you can take advantage of it.
In addition to training combatants, there is another troublesome thing that gives Ye Ying a headache. There are so many people in the village now, and they consume a lot of food, clothing, housing and transportation every day.
For this reason, Ye Ying repeatedly found Zhang Fu, the leader in charge of the commercial operations of the cottage, and allocated a lot of manpower to Zhang Fu and his son, asking them to do their best to prepare more supplies for the cottage.
However, Zhang Fu and his son are still very smart. They know that they alone cannot obtain a large amount of supplies for the cottage. Through their own channels, they found some agile-minded bankrupt businessmen and asked them to join the cottage. They used the cottage's materials and resources to sell medicinal materials, grain, silk, and even sell salt, which was not allowed by the imperial court. Once installed, the basic operation of the cottage can finally be guaranteed.
Ye Ying has never been a person who puts all his eggs in one basket. In addition to letting Zhang and his son manage the caravan at the village, he also often interacts with Yuhe County businessman Ma Zhengyuan, and has done several businesses with him, which has greatly contributed to his success. Relieving the pressure on the cottage.
While the Flying Eagle Club is training in full swing and working hard to develop its business empire. Daning's neighboring country, the Northern Man court, is currently extremely uneasy.
The princes of the Northern Barbarians, who were always at odds with each other all day long, were now even more active. All parties were making frequent moves, and there was a tendency for a storm to come.
The fundamental reason for this situation is that the Northern Barbarian King Heihannaji, who was originally ill, suddenly became seriously ill and even became bedridden.
When Heihannaji's sons saw that their father was ill, they were not anxious at all. Instead, they were happy, because once Heihannaji kicked off his legs, the throne would be vacant. But this is normal. In the royal family, family ties are very indifferent, and the throne is what everyone hopes for most.
Heihan Naji has four sons, the eldest son Heihan Xiongge, the second son Heihan Wutu, the third son Heihan Mugu and the fourth son Heihan Duowu.
Among the four princes, the eldest prince Heihan Xiongge and the second prince Heihan Wutu are the strongest, so they are tit for tat on many things. Although the third prince Heihan Mugu and the fourth prince Heihan Duowu are weaker than their eldest brother and second brother, they have gathered a lot of people around them to protect themselves.
Heihan Naji suddenly became seriously ill. Among his four sons, only the eldest son Heihan Xiongge was in Manjing, the royal city. After this guy heard the news that his father was seriously ill. The first thing that came to mind was not to treat his father, but the second was to order everyone in the palace to block the news.
Heihan Xiongge's idea was to take advantage of Heihan Hanji's serious illness to quickly seize some power in the court and clean up the influence of his three brothers in the barbarian army. In this way, when Heihannaji drives Hexi, he can easily ascend the throne of the Northern Barbarian King.
But Heihan Xiongge's ideals are plump, but the reality is skinny. He underestimated the methods of his three younger brothers. They placed their own people in various departments of the royal city, and soon the news spread that Heihan Naji was seriously ill.
After the three northern barbarian princes in other places heard the news, they immediately rushed to Manjing non-stop. Of course, it was not to cure their father's illness, but to save the throne left by Heihan Naji.
There was news that his younger brothers were about to return, but his father Heihannaji was still holding his breath and never closed his eyes. Heihanxiongge became anxious and simply used a bowl of poison to send Heihannaji back to the west. Perhaps this great Northern Barbarian king, who had reigned supreme for a lifetime, died at the hands of his own son.
After poisoning his father to death, Heihan Xiongge had someone forge a posthumous edict, claiming that Heihan Naji had passed the throne of the Northern Barbarians to him before he died.
Next, before Heihan Naji was buried, Heihan Xiongge summoned all the important officials in the royal city, and with the support of a group of cronies, he ascended the throne and became the new Northern Barbarian King. He also ordered that his three younger brothers were not allowed to return to the royal city, while he frantically cleaned up the influence of his three younger brothers in Manjing, the royal city.
After the news spread, the other three princes of the Northern Barbarians naturally refused to do it. While they declared that Heihan Xiongge's throne was invalid, they recruited troops and horses from all over the place and began to march towards the royal city of Manjing.
Seeing that his three younger brothers had united to deal with him, Heihan Xiongge also panicked. He ordered soldiers from all over the country to come to the royal city to serve the king. At the same time, he sent people to quietly contact the weaker third prince Heihan Mugu and the fourth prince Heihan Duowu, promising them glory and wealth and asking them to support him.
But what Heihan Xiongge didn't expect was that the results of his two strategies were not very obvious. The soldiers and horses of the various tribes of the northern barbarians did not want to participate in the fight between the princes. Most of them chose to watch the fire from the other side, so there were only a few soldiers and horses who came to King Qin of the capital of the barbarians.
The third prince Heihan Mugu and the fourth prince Heihan Duowu actually joined forces with the second prince Heihan Wutu, and together they gathered 150,000 troops and surrounded the royal capital.
In this way, the two sides started a battle in Manjing City. Heihan Xiongge, who had fewer troops, originally planned to use the tall walls of Manjing City as a support to wait for reinforcements. But what he didn't expect was that the forces hidden in the city of Nanjing by his three younger brothers suddenly rebelled. With the help of internal and external cooperation, Manjing was quickly defeated. Heihan Xiongge, who had just sat on the throne for more than ten days, was also killed by the rebel army. .
After the death of Heihan Xiongge, the second prince Heihan Wutu was the strongest and was originally the best candidate for the new king of the Northern Barbarians. However, for some unknown reason, one of his important generals suddenly rebelled and led the troops. He took refuge in the third prince Heihan Mugu.
The second prince, Heihan Wutu, was caught off guard. The third prince's men entered the palace and cut off the heads of him and more than a hundred members of his family.
The fourth prince, Heihan Duowu, originally had the best relationship with his third brother, so he didn't have much caution against Heihan Mugu. Unexpectedly, Heihan Mugu, who was fighting for the throne, had already become jealous and attacked his own brother, who was a compatriot from the same mother.
The result was very simple. Before he could react, Heihan Duowu followed in the footsteps of his two brothers and died in the battle for the throne.
This battle for the throne, which involved the four northern barbarian princes, lasted for more than three months and finally ended. The person who finally sat on the throne was the third prince Heihan Mugu who usually kept a relatively low profile and declared to the public that he had no idea about the throne.
Although the Daning court had heard about the battle for the throne of the Northern Barbarians, they did not pay attention to it.
Liu Gou, the emperor of Daning, saw that the Northern Barbarians were busy fighting among themselves and had no time to take care of Daning. So he focused his attention on the increasingly powerful bandits from all over the country, and the Flying Eagle Society, which had just several hundred troops from the Songzhou camp, had become a thorn in Liu Gou's side and a thorn in his flesh.
"Your Majesty, I recommend a person who has been in the army for many years. He has considerable experience in exterminating bandits and is very loyal to the court. If you ask him to exterminate the bandits of the Flying Eagle Society, he will definitely be able to capture him." In the morning court, there was enough room for the ministers to discuss. Regarding the suppression of bandits, an old minister came out to report.
"Who did you tell me, please report quickly." Upon hearing that someone could destroy the Flying Eagle Society, Emperor Liu Gou of Daning was overjoyed and immediately asked the minister.
"The general recommended by me is none other than Zhaowu Colonel Zeng Yi. This man has defeated many with less many times and has wiped out more than ten groups of stubborn bandits. It is most appropriate for him to lead the troops to wipe out Feiyinghui." Seeing that his words attracted the emperor's attention, the old minister immediately said excitedly.
Zeng Yi is a descendant of the Zeng family. Among the important officials in the court, many are officials of the Zeng family. With their support, the matter was quickly finalized.
Within a few days, the imperial court's decree came down. Zeng Yi, the captain of Zhaowu, was granted the title of Fourth-Rank Guangwei General. He was ordered to select 30,000 soldiers from the Kuang Lion Army and go to Fuhu Mountain after the beginning of spring to annihilate the bandits of the Flying Eagle Society.
After Zeng Yi received the order from the imperial court, he began to recruit soldiers and horses from the Mad Lion Army as quickly as possible. His former subordinates when he was Zhaowu Colonel became his first choice for recruitment.
Among the teams selected this time, one of the battalions is the most special. It is the recruit camp where Ye Ying used to be in the Mad Lion Army, but now it is no longer called the recruit camp and is named Endeavor Camp. The battalion commander of the Endeavor Battalion is none other than his former good brother Zhao Hu, who grew up with him in Kaoshan Village.
Ye Ying, who was still training bandits in Fuhu Mountain at this time, never dreamed that he would reunite with Zhao Hu so soon, but this time, he would meet as an enemy.
