A false and empty plan, no matter how complicated it is, is just a piece of white paper filled with nonsense. When used to wipe your butt, you will feel embarrassed.
Although Wei Qing's plan is simple, it is quite feasible.
"..."
On Ma Xiaoli's side, in order to atone for his crime, he also came up with the idea that he was familiar with this land and could help with intelligence.
After hearing Ma Xiaoli's words, Wei Qing nodded slightly, changed his previous attitude, and spoke a few words of relief.
There was no way, Wei Qing couldn't just cut off his own men as soon as he arrived at the Gannan military camp.
Since he doesn't cut it, then there is no use in punishing him, so just give him a chance and let him change his ways.
This is also the trick of those in power above the officialdom.
Those who are useful should be scolded heavily and punished lightly to win people's hearts.
"..."
The more than twenty rows of flat-roofed barracks in the Gannan military camp are all made of rough pine wood strips. They are crooked and disorganized, making them look extremely crude.
In the middle of these wooden houses, there is a command post built with large bluestone.
The surface of the command post was painted with cheap white paint, and it barely looked like it.
This is the only building in Gannan Military Village, and it can barely be regarded as a high-end building.
"..."
At this time, in the spacious camp, more than two hundred soldiers with yellow faces, thin muscles, and tattered bodies were standing outside.
Wei Qing looked at them and frowned.
Why did he feel that this military camp was worse than the one he took over when he first came to Daijun.
Ma Xiaoli on the side looked embarrassed and whispered: "Sir, brothers, we really don't have the money to repair the place where we live."
"Here, if we can eat three meals a day, we will be very happy."
"..."
Ma Xiaoli, on his side, led Wei Qing to the camp while talking.
Wei Qing nodded, looked carefully at the 20 rows of dilapidated barracks, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that in the hinterland of the county, there would be a military camp that was in such a state of poverty and poverty."
As soon as Ma Xiaoli heard this, he immediately climbed up the pole and said, "Your Excellency, you take pity on us so much. My two hundred brothers all burst into tears with gratitude."
"To tell you the truth, sir, we haven't had anything fishy with meat for several months."
"..."
"Well, don't worry. I can't guarantee my position, but I can guarantee that we won't let our brothers go hungry on errands."
After rushing here, Wei Qing waved his hand decisively and said decisively.
No matter what, the soldiers in this battalion will be his from now on.
He, Wei Qing, would never let his soldiers work hungry.
For Wei Qing, this is a bottom line thing.
After all, in this era, if you just want to make people happy, you also want them to work hard for you...
It is better to prepare a coffin for yourself as soon as possible and bury yourself...
Wei Qing said it carelessly, but his words were completely different to Ma Xiaoli's ears.
For a moment, Ma Xiaoli felt his blood boiling all over his body, and he suddenly had an urge in his heart to go through fire and water for Wei Qing.
"..."
Let’s get back to the point.
On Ma Xiaoli's side, he introduced Wei Qing to the main seat in the main hall and sat down. He personally served the fragrant tea and stood with his hands down, serving him carefully and not daring to sit down.
"..."
No big shot has ever come to a small, remote and desolate place like the Menton Mountains.
What's more, he is still a big shot like Wei Qing, a high-ranking figure who has great influence in Dai County, and one word can change his destiny.
As the saying goes, opportunities cannot be missed and never come back. Faced with this opportunity that fell from the sky and hit him directly on the head, Ma Xiaoli naturally did not want to miss it.
Therefore, he would be humble and try his best to curry favor.
"..."
Faced with Ma Xiaoli's overtures, Wei Qing chose to accept them all, and even picked them.
Being from a lower class background, Wei Qing knew very well what Ma Xiaoli was thinking.
It was precisely because of this that Wei Qing was not polite to Ma Xiaoli.
Because once Wei Qing is polite, Ma Xiaoli will become suspicious.
The current way of getting along is good for both parties.
Wei Qing turned around and scanned the decoration of the main hall, and found a map in the middle of the main hall.
The map marked the locations of various villages in the Menton Mountains, as well as the specific distribution of more than a dozen groups of bandits.
Wei Qing couldn't help but nodded, and took a high look at the seemingly useless Captain in front of him.
After all, if this captain named Ma Xiaoli is really a worthless waste...
But he absolutely does not have the ability to draw such a detailed map alone.
"..."
If you want to draw such a map, you must not only have a thorough understanding of the surrounding terrain and humanities, but also have a certain degree of military ability.
It seems that this captain officer still has some stories.
Wei Qing thought secretly.
"..."
Seeing Wei Qing casually reaching for the tea cup, Ma Xiaoli hurriedly took a step forward, picked up the tea cup, handed it over carefully, and said respectfully: "I don't know what you came to Menton for, sir?"
Looking at Ma Xiaoli who made it clear that he wanted to join him, Wei Qing showed no intention of refusing.
Of course, Wei Qing would not treat him as a confidant so quickly.
"..."
Facing Ma Xiaoli's question, Wei Qing had no intention of hiding it. After all, this matter could not be hidden from anyone.
"I came to the Mengton Mountains firstly to rectify the banditry here, and secondly to organize a reserve army under the order of the imperial court."
After taking a sip of tea, Wei Qing said calmly.
"..."
Looking at Wei Qing's expression, Ma Xiaoli lowered his head and thought for a moment, secretly gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and whispered.
"My lord, I have a plan to help you quickly organize a reserve army."
"..."
"Oh? Since you have a plan, why don't you tell me about it?"
Wei Qing was a little surprised when he heard this. He couldn't help but bow slightly from his chair.
"…………"
Ma Xiaoli knew that whether he could become Wei Qing's confidant depended on this time, he took a deep breath and made a please look gesture to Wei Qing.
Before Ma Xiaoli could speak, Wei Qing had already left his seat, with a solemn face, and stepped forward to carefully study the map of the Mengton Mountains.
The area of the Mengton Mountain Area is far larger than that of a county, but the imperial court has no intention of planning the Mengton Mountain Area into Mengton County.
In addition to the rampant banditry in the Menton Mountains, the main reason is that the soil here is poor and unsuitable for growing crops.
However, no matter how poor the soil is, it still has its value.
The same is naturally true of the Menton Mountains.
