The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 414
Cao Qiang twisted his body and dodged the kick quickly.

Run away quickly.

There are also many good buddies among the craftsmen who also hope to join the army one day.

Cao Qiang called these people together first.

More than 30 people were willing to give up their work as craftsmen and spontaneously followed Cao Qiang.

Send people to nearby villages to ask if there are anyone willing to serve as soldiers.

Soldiers are not only responsible for food, but also receive military pay.

Lin Hai gave them the same military pay as the Northern Army, and they could receive generous rewards for their meritorious service.

Many people immediately gave up fishing after hearing about it and decided to give it a try in the army.

Soon hundreds of people gathered.

Seeing so many people gathering, Lin Hai specially sent Wang Dayong to help with guidance and training.

At this time, Yuhuashi also got up and found Lin Hai.

Seeing that there were so many people suddenly there, I realized that Lin Hai had begun to form a navy.

"Brother Lin, I think these people are a little thin and need to be well taken care of." Yuhuashi said with a slight frown after listening to Lin Hai's introduction.

"That's right. Logically speaking, they won't be short of food at all by the seaside.

However, the government and the Salt Gang oppressed the people, leaving them with insufficient food to eat.

Even the whole family's laborers grew so thin.

Let them eat meat every day when training in the future. I think they will become stronger soon. "

Lin Hai replied.

“It is better to integrate these people into the regular army and let the veterans lead the new recruits.

This training should be faster. " Yuhuashi said.

"This is different. At most, we can only select some people from the Northern Army to serve as naval generals.

These people must not follow the training methods of infantry and cavalry. Lin Hai shook his head and said.

"Why is this? Isn't our Northern Expedition Army inferior to theirs?"

"To some extent, I can't compare with them!" Lin Hai said with a smile.

Yuhuashi was even more unconvinced after hearing this, "I don't agree with this very much. Could you please tell me in which way you are better than the Northern Expeditionary Army?"

“For a sailor to live on a ship all year round, the most important thing is to be able to stand firmly on the drifting deck and never get seasick.

Although the people in the Northern Army were indeed elite, they were unable to stand firmly on the ship, especially when encountering wind and waves.

Not to mention running into enemies and engaging in combat.

If you have never been on a sea ship, you don't know how violently a sea ship will sway once it encounters wind and waves while sailing in the sea.

The fishermen from these nearby villages go fishing by boat almost every day.

They have long been accustomed to this situation, they just need to keep them healthy and teach them fighting skills. " Lin Hai explained.

"Is this training difficult? I think as long as you train well, you can stand firm on the boat."

Lin Hai nodded slightly: "You can indeed get used to training on a ship for a long time, but it takes a long time.

It is almost impossible to complete the training within half a year.

The last time I encircled and suppressed the water bandits, the troops I brought with me were far less capable of controlling ships than those water bandits.

At that time, I had already made up my mind to find local fishermen to form a navy. "

"However, I am still a little worried. Although fishermen can quickly adapt to life on the boat, they need to use bows and arrows to fight and practice fighting.

This cannot be mastered in a short time. "Yuhuashi still feels that it is a bit dangerous to use all new soldiers.

"This is not a difficult problem. There are not many opportunities to fight the enemy at close range, so you can train slowly.

What's more, since they can fish at sea, I think these people are not weak in strength.The weapons they used at first were crossbows and artillery, and they could master the essentials in a short time.

As for the skills of close combat, just recruit some people from the Northern Conquest Army to serve as their generals and train them slowly. "

In fact, Lin Hai also considered another thing.

All the family members of the Northern Conquest Army were in the mainland. They were sailing at sea every day and could not go home for many years. It was also a very cruel thing for the soldiers.

Recruiting troops from the sea, at least when returning from the war, these soldiers can take turns to take leave to visit relatives.

Lin Hai carefully explained the benefits of recruiting troops on the spot to Yuhuashi.

Yuhuashi finally agreed.

"Since there are so many benefits, let's train troops according to your method."

While the two were talking, they saw another group of people approaching from a distance.

He was already shouting loudly before he even got there.

"Who asked you to work here? Stop it quickly."

"The people from the Yan Gang have nothing to do and come over to cause trouble. Let's go over and see how Cao Qiang handles it." Lin Hai said with a smile.

"it is good!"

The two walked over and stood behind the craftsmen.

The craftsmen paid no attention to the Salt Gang and continued to do their own work.

Under the guidance of Wang Dayong, Cao Qiang is training new soldiers, teaching them how to line up and the army's instructions.

When he saw someone coming to cause trouble, Cao Qiang not only did not panic, but was very excited.

"We have waited for them to come. We are in short supply of work. It's just labor that comes to our doorstep!"

Wang Dayong received instructions from Lin Hai in advance and did nothing but help with training.

"My lord has already said that it is up to you to handle the affairs of the Salt Gang."

"Okay, brothers, follow me to deal with the Salt Gang."

Pretend to be Dayong and lead people to meet them with sticks, blocking the Salt Gang people from outside.

"What are you yelling about? Don't delay our work!" Cao Qiang didn't look good on them.

"Hey, I didn't expect there to be someone more ruthless than us here!" The people from the Yan Gang immediately gathered around and looked at Cao Qiang with evil intentions.

In their view, no matter how many people there were, they would not dare to take action against them.

Ordinary people have too many concerns, and offending them will only lead to family ruin.

Even if you are bullied, you can only endure it.

But if you dare to talk to them in this tone now, you must be taught a lesson.

Otherwise, where would the Yan Gang's reputation be?

"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this!"

The leader stared at Cao Qiang closely, ready to teach him a lesson at any time.

Cao Qiang didn't care and said with a smile: "You are here to find the guy who came here yesterday to ask for money."

The leader was stunned for a moment and looked around but didn't find his person.

"Do you know where they are?"

"Of course I know!" Cao Qiang nodded.

"Tell me where you are, I'm going crazy this night!"

"They were all arrested to work. Now that you are here, don't even think about leaving. Just stay and work!"

I still lack a lot of coolies here, and you guys are here to help. "Cao Qiang showed a bright smile.
