Seeing that Fang Lixin had brought his family here, the other four sergeants under Guan Mingxin could not sit still, and they all asked Guan Mingxin if their family members could come over to do the work.
Guan Mingxin treated everyone equally and agreed.
Anyway, one sheep is herding, and so is a group of sheep.
Isn't it just to have more mouths to eat? With Niu Ba's family of four, who is a little expert in hunting, they can even provide food for thousands of people.
After all, monster meat contains high energy. Ordinary mortals without cultivation only need a little bit to fill their stomachs and nourish their bodies at the same time.
Besides, even if these four sergeants called on all their relatives and friends to come together, they would probably be about the same number as the number Fang Lixin brought.
As for where to live, Guan Mingxin believes they can solve it themselves.
In the evening of the next day, the last of his men arrived with a group of sixty-one relatives and friends.
At this point, the number of people under Guan Mingxin's direct or indirect control increased from five to 422.
Among them, the elderly, the weak, the sick and the young account for a little more than half.
These people were all assigned to the papermaking experiment. There were twenty experimental plans, and each group of eleven people was responsible for one plan.
Each group elects a team leader who is responsible for communicating with Guan Mingxin and coordinating experimental projects.
Guan Mingxin originally thought that they would need a lot of time to divide into groups and select team leaders. Who would have thought that within half a quarter of an hour after the order was issued, they would already be divided into groups and elect their respective team leaders.
What surprised Guan Mingxin was that all twenty team leaders were retired sergeants!
They are all from the same army!
Among them is Fang Huaiying, Fang Lixin’s grandfather.
Seeing Captain Xiaonan's obviously surprised expression, Fang Huaiying and the other 20 people looked at each other and smiled. After ordering the others to disperse to build temporary shacks, they stepped forward and Fang Huaiying, as the representative, spoke about their past:
"Wu Zhang Xiaonan, are you curious about how we old men convinced the public?
In fact, there is no other reason, just because a few of us once belonged to the first battalion of the former territorial lord’s direct legion..."
After listening to Fang Huaiying's story, Guan Mingxin and Guan Mingchen suddenly realized.
It turns out that the twenty of them have such a glorious past. They are actually the sharpest sergeants of the former domain master of Miaozhu Domain. Not only have they experienced hundreds of battles, but they are also all-round talents. It may be an exaggeration to form an army by one person, but One against a hundred or even against a thousand is a real achievement.
Among them, Fang Huaiying, who had served as battalion commander, was the most prominent.
However, no matter how brilliant their achievements were, they all ended when they accompanied the former domain lord to explore a certain ruins.
That time, it was a trap specially set for the former domain master.
With almost the entire army wiped out, only a few dozen members of their first battalion escaped with the dying former domain master. Unfortunately, the former domain master was too seriously injured and died before reaching Miaozhu City.
Before he died, the former domain master wanted all the survivors including Fang Huaiying to be buried with him. He also sent a message intending to have his secret guards kill all their relatives.
This move completely angered Fang Huaiying and the others. Before the news was spread, they fled back in time, taking their relatives and the families of their sacrificed comrades to escape from Miaozhu City, and finally found their way to the most remote Chizhu. Settled in the city.
The hunt for them was forced to stop as the new Territory Lord purged the former subordinates.
After all, outsiders thought that the First Battalion was destroyed along with the previous Territory Lord, and the only insider was immediately purged by the new Territory Lord.
Because of their past experiences, they have always kept a low profile, pretending to be ordinary retired sergeants. Even their children who join the army choose to join the army in an inconspicuous logistics department, for fear of attracting attention.
The five people assigned to Guan Mingxin, Fang Lixin, Gan Ze, Ma Guanpeng, Hang Dali, and Chang An, were treated as waste by interested people because they often suppressed themselves to the point of making no achievements.
It's just that those who are doing evil in the dark will never imagine that the trash in their eyes actually has such extraordinary relatives.
The reason why they brought all the former Paoze family members to Guan Mingxin this time was because Fang Huaiying and others were keenly aware that the Miaozhu Domain was about to be in danger, and wanted to find a suitable identity so that they could escape as soon as possible when the whole people fled.
To tell the truth frankly was an intuition they had inexplicably when they saw Guan Mingxin. They felt that as long as they followed the baby in front of them in the eyes of most people, they would be able to survive.
Fang Huaiying and the others would not underestimate Guan Mingxin, especially the unfathomable look in Guan Mingchen's eyes when he looked at them, which confirmed their thoughts.
Even if Wu Zhang Xiaonan is unreliable, there is still this brother who can definitely turn the tide.
People who live in the Baizhan World, especially sergeants and other combatants, never look down upon the old, weak, sick, and young. There are endless incidents of boats capsizing in the gutter.
Guan Mingxin didn't know the little Jiujiu in Fang Huaiying and the others' hearts, and she didn't care why they chose to tell the truth frankly. After satisfying her curiosity, she threw all the experimental plans she had prepared to Fang Huaiying and the others.
Guan Mingchen was very interested in these uninvited people.
My sister didn't see what these people were thinking, but she couldn't hide it from Guan Mingchen.
If they pass their own test, then it would be a good thing to accept them.
As for the idea of fighting till death for the Miaozhu Domain, Guan Mingchen has never thought about it.
Now I just hope that this war can last a little longer. At least I have to wait for my sister to transfer all my family members and blood servants in exchange for military merit.
Then they can escape in time.
It just so happened that my sister was ostracized and placed in a deserted suburb outside the city. Not far away was a dense forest. As long as she got in, it was not easy to leave.
With a plan in mind, Guan Mingchen immediately put it into action.
For a time, the people brought by Fang Lixin and the five others were all arranged in an orderly manner, with constant daily tasks. Apart from eating and sleeping, they had no free time.
Those who have been paying attention to Guan Mingxin's brothers and sisters can't help but feel deep sympathy for these people.
Really, the workload is too much.
There is no reward for military merit yet!
They felt that these people might have regretted it too much, because they couldn't bear it and howled in pain from time to time!
Thinking they had discovered the truth, these people only observed carefully in the first few days and then withdrew.
Little did they know that those screams of pain were not torture, but the excitement of taking Shiquan Dabu Decoction and the rapid improvement of the body.
Since Guan Mingchen regards them as potential subordinate candidates, he will not be stingy.
After discovering that many people were weak and depleted, they directly took out the Shiquan Dabu Decoction stored in the Huantian Bracelet and distributed it to them according to different situations, euphemistically calling it "Wu Zhang Xiaonan brings warmth".
Among them, the one that excites Fang Huaiying and others the most is the Shiquan Dabu Decoction that can regenerate severed limbs.
