Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

There is a wasteland next to Heishui Town, which has been cleared and leveled by coolies in the past few days. It is now a training ground for 200 guards.

The 170 newcomers were divided into several small squares at this time, and were trained by the old players.

At the beginning, it was natural to line up, turn left, turn right, and turn backwards.

These sharecroppers had never experienced such a novel thing. The team stood crookedly, buzzing and talking constantly, and their hands and feet were constantly moving.

What's more, these illiterate people can't understand the passwords, turning left and right depends on luck and feeling, and they can't tell left and right at all.

A few veteran players who were coaches took a bamboo stick and slapped them one by one. They also fought in the same way a few months ago.

In addition to the training of these 170 people, there is also a group of cavalry training in the distance.

Twenty-three war horses were captured this time, including the white horse owned by the eldest son.

The white horse with the best quality naturally belonged to Zhang He, and the bay red horse he was riding was given to old man Zhang.

Twenty guards were selected to form a cavalry squad of twenty.

The so-called cavalry is not enough to have a horse. You must first learn to ride a horse, and you also need to train to fight on the horse and be equipped with corresponding weapons.

At present, it is planned to equip each person with a long gun, a set of bows and arrows, a pair of iron rods, and a single sword.

Bows and arrows are used for long-range attacks, long spears are used for melee combat, iron bars and single swords are used for close combat, iron bars are better at piercing armor, and single swords are the handy weapons of each team member.

Both the iron rod and the gun head were made by Niu blacksmith, and he was able to make them in the same way.

Although the quality is a bit poor, it is cheaper. Although the quality of weapons in Dehua City is good, they are much more expensive. Currently, Zhang He cannot afford to equip them.

Bows and arrows can’t be helped. The bow and arrow workshop opened by Wan’s family has already been robbed by refugees, and they can’t make any good bows in a short time.

He could only go to Dehua County to buy it, and he had other things to do in Dehua County, especially when they captured Wanjiazhuang, I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain, so it's time to go there.

Considering that it might cost a lot of money to go to the county this time, Zhang He went to the warehouse where the copper coins were stored, and swept a large pile of copper coins into the space.

After they occupied Wanjia, apart from the copper coins in this treasury, there was very little other money such as gold and silver.

At first he thought it was Wan's family who hid, but after interrogating several managers repeatedly, it was said that it was the eldest son who had taken a large amount of gold and silver with him every time he went home over the years.

Zhang He reckoned that the Eldest Young Master should spend a lot of money to cultivate immortality. The Peiyuan Pill on his body is so effective, the price should not be cheap.

The Wan family ruled the entire Heishui Town and squeezed the tenant farmers hard, and most of the money they got was spent on the eldest son.

Zhang He took the money, said hello to old man Zhang, and set off for Dehua City.

Now on the main road to Dehua County, as far as the eye can see, there are all refugees supporting the old and the young, slowly heading towards Dehua City.

He is now riding a tall horse and wearing a luxurious brocade robe. He has attracted the attention of many refugees along the way, and even the bandits blocking the road have voluntarily stepped aside, not daring to offend the nobles.

It is inevitable that a few of them will be inspired to have such ambitions as men are born to be.

When he arrived outside the city of Dehua, Zhang He was really taken aback. Now the outside of the city was full of refugees, surrounded by layers, giving him a sense of sight as if the city was besieged by zombies.

Now the city gates are guarded by troops to prevent refugees from entering.

Zhang He used this body to show off his appearance, but the gatekeepers did not stop him, and entered the city smoothly.

The refugees outside the city besieged the city, the number of beggars in the city increased significantly, and the faces of the residents in the city were also covered with a layer of worry.

Those refugees may rush into the city at any time, looting wantonly,

At that time, the most unlucky people are these ordinary residents.

After Zhang He entered the city, he still lived in the small courtyard he rented.

Since beheading the man in white last time, Heihutang has never troubled him again, and the small courtyard is finally no longer stained with blood.

Afterwards, he inquired in the city, and heard that two hall masters of the Black Tiger Hall had died one after another. After their vitality was seriously injured, they were annexed by another force called the Lutheran League.

The Lutheran League has a nice name, but it's actually similar to the Black Tiger Hall. It's all about killing people and stealing goods.

After Zhang lived together, he first made a deal with Su Fa, selling him a batch of dried sweet potatoes for thirty taels of silver.

Brother Su, I want to ask you something, do you know about the White Armored Army?

Brother Zhang, why do you inquire about this?

Su Fa's complexion changed when he heard the words, and his expression became tense.

I have a friend who said that he is in the White Armored Army. I don't know much about it, so I asked Brother Su for a question or two. Is there any taboo in this?

Su Fa calmed down, smiled and said: There is nothing taboo about it, it's just that the White Armored Army is the city's elite, with a total of only 500 horsemen, this is a well-known fact in the city.

I heard that there are many immortal masters in the White Armor Army, especially General Gu Liang, who is in charge of the White Armor Army, is a member of the City Lord's Mansion, and I heard that he is a very great immortal master.

When Su Fa said this, his expression was full of awe.

I don't know if Brother Su has any connections in this area, can you recommend me?

Zhang He arched his hands and asked, he killed the eldest son of the Wan family this time, and he must have formed a relationship with the White Armored Army. With his current small arms and legs, he is definitely not the opponent of the White Armored Army.

It was just that the eldest son brought sixty or seventy riders that day, so he was very difficult to deal with, killing ten thousand refugees was a piece of crap.

If it hadn't been for him to come up with a series of bombardments, scaring the horses and killing the eldest son, even if he won that battle, he would have suffered heavy casualties.

Although Bai Jiajun didn't attack immediately during this period, he still had a huge rock hanging in his heart, and he couldn't sleep at ease.

If you can find a way, mediate in the middle, and then say something soft, accompany a gift, apologize, and save the disaster of a sword.

Brother Zhang, you think highly of me, how can I know such an expert?

Zhang He was not surprised by this. Su Fa was just a small merchant, and he might know the powerful people in the city there.

Just when Zhang He was about to say goodbye and leave, Su Fa suddenly remembered something.

Brother Zhang wait a moment, but I heard a piece of news that may be useful to you.

There was a daughter in Bao's cloth village in the east of the city, who was taken in as a concubine by General Gu Liang, and she was very favored.

You can try to pay a visit. If you open up this relationship, you may have the opportunity to meet General Gu Liang.

Thank you, brother Su, I still have something to do today, so I will take my leave first.

After Zhang He left, he went to the east of the city, and found Bao's Cloth Village according to the location pointed out by Su Fa.

This Bao's cloth shop is not small in scale, and it also has a tailor shop, the business is very prosperous.

The shop owner was a fat man, always smiling, and seemed very kind. Zhang He stepped forward to explain his intentions, and gave away a bag of ten taels of silver.

I can give you a word about this matter, but I can't guarantee whether it will happen or not.

The chubby shopkeeper put the silver into his arms with a smile, as if he took over the matter.

Zhang He said a few words of thanks before leaving the tailor shop.
