From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 36 Shock

On the morning of the second day, Richard brought 100 Ming army archers and 40 Ming army pikemen to the patrol camp outside Dashi Town.

At this time, the patrol camp was full of mercenaries and military leaders. Except for the few military leaders who were unable to escape from long-distance missions, the patrol team had gathered more than three-quarters of its troops!

It’s a pity that the patrol camp is too messy, and Richard has no way of knowing the specific number of troops in the patrol…

But there is one thing that Richard can confirm that the Dashi Town patrol is a veritable mob. Except for those military heads, most ordinary soldiers only have a wooden spear in their hands. If they are better equipped, they can have a sword.

Richard looked at him, not even a soldier in leather armor!

In contrast, the equipment of those military heads blinded Richard’s titanium alloy dog ​​eyes, all light chain armor, shiny and maintenance, and visual inspection also covered a piece of soft leather armor, each military head The body is equipped with at least two weapons. The standard Tang Knife is only the most common. For example, 18 weapons such as meteor hammer and mace can be found here!

Obviously, these military leaders are very concerned about their own fate and almost armed themselves to the teeth!

The Ming army soldiers lined up in a neat array behind Richard contrasted sharply with the mob in the patrol camp, and they became the focus of the entire camp upon arrival.

Those lazy mercenaries looked at Richard’s soldiers pityingly. If they can get out of this kind of queue, they must have suffered in the ordinary days…

I don’t know how many lashes the brothers in it took to set up such a strict phalanx!

As for the soldiers, they looked at Richard and his soldiers with bright eyes as if they were looking at the God of Wealth.

Being able to train soldiers to this level does not necessarily mean that the leader of the army is capable, but the leader of the army is definitely a rich man!

If they hadn’t paid enough soldiers, would they obediently cooperate and train like this?

There are mercenaries in the patrol team, and mercenaries have the right to apply for retirement in Dashi Town, and the military leaders cannot use violence to restrain the big soldiers under their hands.

Therefore, there is only one way to train a soldier to become a good soldier-to use money to smash it, so that the soldier regards himself as a reproductive parent, and it is not a big deal to be tired and get more whips…

It’s a pity that eating, drinking, and having fun on the patrol team is not enough. How many people are willing to spend a lot of money to support the soldiers under their hands?

At the same cost, wouldn’t it be more cost-effective to get more young and strong to join?

How much is life worth in this era?

A middle-aged man with a full face and a beard in a military uniform, holding a Tang knife in his hand, followed by a few personal guards, paced to Richard.

He was appointed by Dashi Town, the patrol team who specializes in controlling the various heads of the patrol team is Zhang Rui!

Although Zhang Rui is the leader of the patrol team, there are actually only ten soldiers directly under him, who are his personal guards. Zhang Rui’s power comes from the Dashi Town government behind him.

This is also a small method used by Dashi Town to restrict the patrol team.

After all, the staffing of the patrol team is too large, and it is almost uncapped. If one person is firmly in control, the guard of Dashi Town can not sleep well…

However, as long as the authority of the Dashi Town government office lasts for one day, no one will dare to defy Zhang Rui’s right to speak in the patrol team!

As long as Zhang Rui does not rebel, his orders in the patrol team are equivalent to the military orders of Dashi Town!

Of course, if Zhang Rui dared to cultivate cronies in the patrol team, in an attempt to completely control the patrol team, the soldiers below can also go to Dashi Town to report it. If you are lucky, you may be able to change a team…

Zhang Rui looked at Richard’s young face and guessed: “I am Zhang Rui from the patrol team, are you Richard?”

The mercenary head of the entire patrol is only Li Cha, who is less than 20 years old, and his recognition is still very high.

“It’s me, my lord.”

Although both teams are tied, there are more teams in Dashi Town, and their status is vastly different.

Zhang Rui, because of his authority, can theoretically directly govern the team leader Richard, but in fact, Richard is leading the team leader’s salary and performing the duties of deputy team leader.

This is also a way of comfort for Richard by the guards of Dashi Town.

If Li Chazhen regards himself as equal to Zhang Ruiping, he will ignore the authority of the government…

This is like the Lijiacun patrol team. Although the team is also called teamzheng, it is actually not recognized by the Dashi Town government at all!

By the same token, the team appointed by Dashi Town is going to be in Gaoxiang County, and it will be a higher level!

There is no way, because of the proliferation of green skins, the local army of the Tang court has been severely expanded. As a result, the military positions of the local government have become chaotic.

Later, in order to distinguish status and salary level, only the level of administrative unit and position can be used to identify and contrast.

An Lushan took advantage of this loophole, secretly stored 200,000 troops, raised the flag, and swept the inland of Datang!

After confirming Richard’s identity, Zhang Rui frowned and pointed at the soldier behind Richard: “Your troop strength is 300 people has also been checked, but this time only 140 people have been brought. , Where are the rest of the soldiers?

Now I give you two choices. First, when a battle occurs, you will lead your troops alone as a forward. Second, immediately fill up the rest of your troops! ”

Zhang Rui’s stern voice did not lower the volume. The soldiers and mercenaries around him heard it clearly. They were gloating and waiting to see the jokes of Richard, a young man who was guarded and looked after.

Why is Richard a Taoist being recruited is the team’s salary, and he is also recruited to be the deputy team leader or even the team leader?

Everyone has jealousy, not to mention these desperadoes who lick their lives.

If it were not for the Daoist status of Dread Richard, the moment he arrived at the camp, a group of soldiers would step forward to provoke him.

The most indispensable patrol team of fish and dragons is this kind of person!

Now that Zhang Rui, the patrol team, is in the lead, the military leaders are naturally willing to watch Richard look at him.

“Oh? It turns out that I have to check the number of soldiers. I was negligent on this point.”

Richard finished his words and moved with one hand towards the surrounding open space. After a white light flashed, 200 Ming army heavy infantry in Ming army-style iron armor appeared in a phalanx form out of thin air!

Dangling

The mercenaries and military leaders who were watching fell to the ground one after another. They looked at the 200 armored soldiers that suddenly appeared. Some people even slapped themselves to confirm that they were not dreaming…

This is 200 armored soldiers, and the entire Dashi Town can’t get so many armors!

Zhang Rui’s face twitched violently, and his throat rolled up and down involuntarily, trying to suppress the shock in his heart.

At this moment, he understood why Richard was eligible for the official position of the team!
