Mystery Makes Me Strong

After setting up a village and appointing a leader, everyone finally found a place to settle down.

After a simple meal, the four of them asked the others to patrol and move stones, while they went into the tent and held a secret meeting.

At the meeting, they briefly decided what to do now.

Number One said, "What should we do now?"

Number Two sneered, “Of course we have to set a goal, a maximum goal and a minimum goal.”

“These two goals determine our specific approach.”

Number Three said: "The minimum goal is naturally to complete the game mission, live here for a lifetime, and finally go back safely."

"The ultimate goal is to complete the mission while strengthening ourselves. It would be great if we could bring back the power from the last immortal world."

Vincent heard a lot from their words.

The world of immortals?

It seems that these people have experienced a much larger gaming world.

"In this case, in this feudal era, if we want to achieve our goals, we must win over more people, occupy more land, and possess more power." Wensheng said slowly.

The three of them nodded.

In fact, we are all elites and we can understand this kind of thing immediately.

In this regard, their greatest advantage over the ancient rebels is their theoretical mastery.

They know the correct way to rebel, and they also understand which pitfalls to avoid.

For example, you cannot say that you are rebelling.

Be low-key at the beginning and don't be too high-profile.

I would rather be a bandit than a gangster.

The reason is simple, bandits are too dangerous and are taken seriously by the imperial court, while bandits can even collude with county magistrates and wealthy families.

The "bandits" make it easier to transform, accumulate supplies, and accumulate talents.

Similar to Liangshan.

It can be said that those who have accomplished things in history are all "bandit" type forces...

But their biggest disadvantage is that they dare not fight to the death.

They are unwilling to take risks, their execution ability is not as good as others, they are also alienated from this era and cannot make full use of all aspects of this era.

For example, legends about gods and ghosts, living habits, clan relations, brotherhood, money and so on.

“Why did the Qing Dynasty finally seize the world?”

"Many people say it was a fluke, but the key is to fight hard battles and meet all the direct opponents at the time in the hardest place."

“We have to acknowledge this.”

"So even though it's dark, it still has the same length of time in the end."

Wensheng nodded and said, "In terms of combat? Who among you knows?"

Number One said, "In the feudal era, it is enough to learn Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Effectiveness" and "Records of Training Soldiers". These two military books have many innovative ideas and summaries in terms of training soldiers, making weapons, and battle formations. Compared with many books such as Sun Tzu's Art of War, its greatest advantage is that it is a tutorial."

"It was created to train qualified generals of medium quality. You don't need to be a genius general. As long as you learn it step by step, use it, and master it, you will know how to win 70% to 80% of the battles. The remaining 20% ​​to 30% depends on luck."

Number Two laughed at this and said, "That's a good point, but the question is, have any of us memorized these two masterpieces of Qi Jiguang?"

Vincent said, "I have memorized it."

He then recited it to everyone.

The content of "Records of Military Training" is extensive, involving the selection of soldiers, the organization of troops, flags and drums, weapons and equipment, the cultivation of generals, military etiquette and military law, the organization of chariots, infantry and cavalry, as well as all aspects of army building, training and combat.

This is the biggest difference between it and many mysterious military strategies in ancient times.

Sun Tzu's Art of War is powerful, but it mainly talks about guiding ideas rather than specific operations.

It is for talented people. Ordinary people will only feel shocked after reading it, but will not know how to start.

“After learning these two books, as long as we solve the logistics and food problems, we can be said to be invincible in the feudal era.” Wensheng concluded.

In his opinion, many people greatly underestimated Qi Jiguang.

They only regarded him as a hero who fought against the Japanese pirates and a famous general, but they did not know that he was one of the first military strategists to adopt scientific and materialistic ideas, to get to the bottom of reality, and to solve the problems of how to be a general and how to train soldiers.

In other words, what he wrote were teaching materials and textbooks, which fall into the category of modern military strategists.

If you look at the earlier military books, you will find that most of them contain mysterious things, such as heaven, earth, man, generals, and many other illusory things.

Just like "Cao Gui's Discussion on War", what did it say? It only talked about a morale issue, but did not explain how to win.

Because the person who wrote the record doesn’t understand it either.

Qi Jiguang was a man of both civil and military talents, and was able to summarize what he had learned.

And most importantly, like a modern general staff, he has his own way of doing things.

Study and analyze the opponent, equip and train your own team, cooperate with the concept work, and at the same time do a good job of communicating with the superiors. In order to succeed, all aspects must be taken into consideration.

When he finally retired, he was very poor and spent all his money on doing things instead of on himself.

There were very few famous generals in ancient times who could reach his level.

It's a pity that the terrible system of the feudal era cannot continue to be used.

"As long as we solve the problems of logistics, food, weapons and armor, these two military books will be enough to conquer this feudal era, provided that no gods appear." Wensheng finally guaranteed.

"Okay, but these two military books mainly use firearms." said No. 1.

Wensheng shook his head and said, "What we need to see is the way things are done inside. Firearms and cold weapons can all be solved according to local conditions."

“These two books propose different methods for targeting different opponents.”

"We need to look at our opponents and make flexible adjustments."

"We mainly learn how to inspire morale, how to organize troops, how to command, and how to convey information..."

Number One, Two, and Three nodded.

They felt that Vincent was right.

"Firearms are indeed very good and worthy of attention. But we don't know whether there are firearms or not, so let's not worry about it for now."

"And its concurrency allows it to fight on all kinds of terrain."

"Use the mandarin duck formation in mountainous and hilly areas, and the chariot formation in open areas."

"It can be said that Qi Jiguang is an all-round military strategist who is S-level adaptable to all kinds of terrains." Wensheng added.

At this time, No. 2 said:

"In that case, the next thing will be easy."

“First we provide good nutrition, then we tell them what they are fighting for.”

"To protect my family, to get promoted and make money, to get military pay, and to establish good pensions."

“And all of this is actually a logistics battle.”

"As long as we establish good logistics, we are 70 percent of the way to victory."

This is not an exaggeration at all.

Many major defeats in history that determined a country’s fate were actually caused by poor logistics.

Otherwise, there will be no failure.

Soon they began to discuss how to organize logistics.

First of all, we need to establish a good organizational system.

We need to use a training system to continuously replace the old people with new ones.

To avoid a lack of continuity.

After all, rebellion will result in the death of many people.

Who is responsible for logistics, who is responsible for combat, who is responsible for training talents, who is responsible for liaison, and who is the commander.

After some discussion, No. 1 was responsible for logistics, No. 2 was responsible for combat, and No. 3 was responsible for central liaison and training of personnel.

Vincent was in charge of directing the movement and also served as a mascot, responsible for propaganda and agitation.

That way, there's always someone to do everything.

Vincent is the brain and everyone must obey his authority absolutely.

They are gamers, and the biggest advantage is that they don't have too much power and ambition.

After the discussion, they started to operate quickly.

Time suddenly accelerated.

Because what we do next is mostly repetitive.

Every day, people are sent to the nearby mountains to search for information.

After searching for information, they would organize people to rob depending on the situation.

Compared with those ignorant, vicious, cruel and unmotivated bandits, they are goal-oriented and organized.

They try their best to improve their own people's ideas and preach every day.

Tell them why they do it.

What is the future path?

In this way, the initiative is much higher.

And try to upgrade your weapons and equipment.

Establishment of the Logistics Department.

If there is no iron, just grind stones and practice throwing stones.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This is also a great long-range supplement.

Without remote control, that would be death.

Soldiers in the era of cold weapons could easily lose their morale in long-range combat.

After robbing to a certain extent, they started to do salt business.

The salt business was a big business in ancient times.

It is also a business of organizing, training and winning over people.

The key is that this business can train confrontation and train teams.

They started by plundering official salt and then processed and purified the salt.

They then found rock salt wells in the nearby mountains.

This is a big deal.

They are well aware of the seriousness of this. If the local tyrants nearby get to know about it, they will definitely contact the bandits and come up the mountain to fight.

This is also the root cause of the lack of industrial development in the feudal era - if you work hard to run a business but have no backing, it will be robbed.

Then who would do it?

In the feudal era, who was the biggest backer?

Of course it’s the royal family.

But will the royal family run the business well?

No, that would be too tiring and risky.

Eunuchs only know how to extort money directly and demand shares, and they will not promote industrial development.

In other words, there is a paradox here: those who have a strong backer don’t want to work hard to run their business, and those who want to run their business well don’t have a strong backer. Once they have a strong backer, they don’t want to run their business well anymore…

In the end, one fact will emerge: there was no industry in the feudal era.

The prerequisite for the emergence of industry is that there is a place to go and a way out for businessmen - that is, the sea.

Only large maritime merchants can give birth to industry and commerce.

Because there is a place to hide and prevent being invaded.

What these four people have to do is actually similar to what maritime merchants do.

They did not rush into opening a salt mine.

Instead, he brought people to search for bandits and refugees nearby.

Why are most bandits in the mountains so difficult to defeat?

Because they are all scattered.

It's impossible that a bunch of bandits are in one nest like in TV dramas.

There were even thousands of bandits in one mountain.

Unless it is a time of chaos, the bandits have already taken control of the territories at the foot of the nearby mountains and can rely on the territories for their livelihood.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a large group of bandits to exist in times of peace.

There is not so much food to eat.

Bandits are generally just like wild animals.

There were only 10 or 20 bandits on a small hill, like a pack of wolves.

These people could barely survive by farming and occasional looting.

In fact, it is also very unstable and will often be destroyed or collapse within a few years.

This is also why in times of peace, not so many people go up the mountains to become bandits.

Being a bandit means that your life is entering the countdown.

There are no old people among bandits, that's the rule.

And if they want to gather more people, they need more food.

And none of the four of them died.

But they have ideas.

The first thing is to find water.

Then we found some water, which was groundwater deep in the cave.

That's easy.

Then, we use the organic matter in the mountain soil to cultivate earthworms and mushrooms.

Then use water-saving methods such as drip irrigation, which is actually a simple means to achieve drip irrigation.

The main thing is to pay attention to saving water and to surround the fields with stones.

They have a modern way of thinking and know how to farm in the mountains.

Only with occasional looting can you get through the early development period.

This difficult period of development lasted for a full year and a half.

That's it, no hanging.

This is how it is to conquer the world. In the early stage, it takes several years to take over a small piece of territory, but in the later stage, it only takes a few months to take over hundreds of times the territory.

As long as the momentum is good and invincible, it is exponential growth.

The key is the early stage.

People who often play the Three Kingdoms game know that after the beginning, the rest of the game is basically boring and there is no challenge. You just have to let the system take over.

After a year and a half, they finally created mushroom, earthworm and grass producing areas in the mountains.

Organic matter, water, and sunlight, when combined, become mushrooms...

Organic matter, water, and earthworms, when combined together, become a chicken farm.

In this way, the nutrition is comprehensive.

The next thing to do is to expand your scale and establish good logistics.

During the past year and a half, they have also been gathering information everywhere.

They had long known that there were probably more than 2,000 bandits in Qingyun Mountain, distributed within a few hundred kilometers.

Most of them make a living by farming in the mountains, and a small number make a living by going down the mountains to rob.

It can be said that farming accounts for 60% and robbery accounts for 40%.

Many bandit dens lasted less than three years on average - surprisingly consistent with the lifespan of modern companies.

This is actually the norm for retail investors to be independent and survive in groups.

Three years is a big threshold.

The looting mainly involved salt and cloth, which were daily necessities.

As for other things, such as going down the mountain to attack villages and wealthy families, they seldom do it because the risk is too high.

These bandit dens have no ideas, no thoughts, and don’t know what to do.

So a year and a half later, they were all incorporated.

Those who refused to obey would naturally be captured and made slaves or bondservants.

If you don't want to be the boss, use whips and sticks and keep it locked up tightly.

They are modern people and they know how to train people.

You have to know that in modern times, line soldiers rely on whips and sticks to turn a group of scum into qualified musketeers.

The reason why musketeers are so powerful is that they are cheap and can be quickly produced.

The soldiers they use are all scum and their pensions are low.
