Lu Peng had recruited 50,000 people this time. They were led by Jiang Qin and Lu Su respectively and trained in Chaohu and Wan City.
The additional effect of training on the training ground was related to the commander's command. Lu Su and Jiang Qin were the two people with the highest command under him. Of course, that kid Zhou Yu was excluded.
At the edge of Chaohu Lake, the sky was getting dark. Rows of soldiers walked back to their tents in neat rows.
Jiang Qin, who was standing with his hands on his hips, scratched his black face."Damn it, how did these guys train so fiercely? Could it be that the lord's immortal halo has finally shone on me, Old Jiang?”
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He stretched his body and patted the deputy general beside him."Let's go fishing!"
Jiang Gongyi was extremely satisfied with his current life. Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that in just two short years, he would be able to rise from a notorious bandit to the commander of an army of tens of thousands.
Moreover, his lord's reputation among the people was surprisingly high, and even he, a general, benefited from it. Not only did the people often bring good wine, chicken, and sheep to reward the army, but their wives and children were also highly respected.
The two boys, Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiu, listened to the lord's orders and went to that primary school. It was said that they became the kings of the children among the group of boys.
His wife, Madam Zheng, was originally snatched by him when he was a thief. She was born into a wealthy family in Jiujiang. After giving birth to two children for him, she was still depressed all day long and never treated him well. In the past year or so, her attitude had become much friendlier. Even at night, she was as gentle as water, allowing Old Jiang to truly experience the beauty of a young lady from a noble family.
Not only that, the Zheng Clan of Jiujiang hated him to the core. They had donated a large sum of money to the government several times to help the government arrest him. And now, she had actually sent several groups of people over. They all addressed her as 'young miss and son-in-law' in a respectful manner. It was said that the old lady was looking forward to bringing her daughter and grandson back for the new year.
Jiang Qin was really glad that he had followed the right person back then!
"I, Old Jiang, have good eyes!”
Under the moonlight, Jiang Qin spread out his fishing net and fished up a net in the lake. He shook his head proudly.
"What?" The deputy general was stunned.
"None of your business." Jiang Qin glanced at the camp, not worried. This was probably the army with the highest morale he had ever seen.
After all, they were well-fed, well-dressed, and paid. They were all local soldiers of Lujiang. Each of them respected the Lu Manor Lord like a god. How could they not be active?
"As long as my lord gives the order, I, Jiang Gongyi, will be able to send him to Xuzhou in less than half a month and capture that old thing Tao Qian alive!”Jiang Qin thought confidently. Suddenly, he thought of his old buddy, Zhou Tai. What was he doing now?
"General, we have the net! So many!"
"Quick, quick! Haha! We'll have something to eat tonight!"
……
At this moment, Zhou Tai was being nagged by Lu Peng.
"Youping, look at your old friend. His child is already a bully in a small school. How long do you want to be single?”
As the captain of Lu Peng's personal guards, the silent and loyal Zhou Tai made him very satisfied and trusted.
There seemed to be only three things in this guy's eyes: First, it was for the lord, second, to eat, and third, to practice martial arts.
Lu Peng wanted to arrange a marriage for him, but this guy went to someone else's house and sat there like a demon. He had an aura that kept people away, scaring the whole family out. In the end, it was left unsettled.
"No, no rush." Zhou Tai said dryly.
Lu Peng was speechless. Why did he feel like he had become a worried old father? This bastard only wanted to be carefree for a few more years.
Forget it, I can't be bothered with you. I'll be a bachelor for the rest of my life.
"Right, Youping, I have a mission for you.”
Lu Peng stood up and patted him on the shoulder.""Train the guards well!”
After comparing the training results of Jiang Qin and Lu Su, Lu Peng found that the more people there were, the worse the training results seemed to be. The fewer the number of people, the higher the number.
He asked Zhou Tai to give it a try. He wanted to see how well he could train 300 guards.
……
After the household registration survey, Lu Peng's control over the entire Lujiang River had reached a peak. Any order he gave would be carried out quickly and resolutely. Whether it was the aristocratic families or the scholars and officials, they could only bow their heads in front of him.
The aristocratic families, led by the Zhou family of Shu County, chose to submit and obediently become his subjects. As for the inevitable damage to the family's interests, they could only adapt to this new social environment.
However, there were also some who did not know what was good for them and stood up to resist. More than ten days after the autumn harvest, more than ten wealthy families in Juchao, Wan County, Linhu and other places contacted each other and intended to make trouble. In the end, before they even started, someone had already revealed their secret. Lu Su had directly marched in to suppress them, and had captured all of these ten over clans in one fell swoop.
Lu Peng waved his hand mercilessly, killing everyone until their heads rolled to the ground. All the men were killed, leaving only the women as slaves.
