Infinite Streamer

Lin Chong quickly helped Zhu Wu and the other two up and said, "Since you brothers have shown me your love, I will never let you down. We brothers will work together to create a world that belongs to us!"

Lin Chong went on to say, "Our goal is not to fight against the government, but to establish a new order. Currently, we have less than 200 brothers and to horses. Although the Shaohua Mountain Stronghold is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is a small place. It is not conducive to large-scale storage and training of troops, and it is easy to be targeted by the government. It is better for us to strengthen our strength first, recruit some troops, and then find a place more suitable for expanding our power as a base."

Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun all agreed: "We will follow Brother Lin Chong's arrangements."

If you want to make great progress, you must have enough soldiers and horses. Lin Chong arranged for Zhu Wu and others to recruit a large number of refugees to join the group. They also robbed and killed the rich families who were unkind and unrepentant in the local area to help the poor, raise military supplies and food, and at the same time led Chen Da and Yang Chun to carry out modern military training for all members to enhance their military combat capabilities.

Lin Chong also took advantage of the transmission function of the space-time router system at night and secretly went to Western Xia, looted several granaries and military supply warehouses, obtained a large amount of military food and supplies, and left a small amount of military supplies for the Shaohua Mountain stronghold for backup, and stored the rest in the storage space of the space-time router system.

Two months later, the number of refugees gathered in Shaohua Mountain reached more than 2,000, including more than 1,500 soldiers. Lin Chong selected 500 soldiers to form the first cavalry battalion, and Lin Chong personally served as the commander of the cavalry. Another thousand soldiers formed two infantry battalions, with Chen Da and Yang Chun as the battalion commanders respectively. The rest served as logistics personnel and were arranged by the military strategist Zhu Wu.

When there were more than a hundred people originally, Zhu Wu, Chen Da and Yang Chun were worried about how to solve the problem of supplying food and fodder for people and horses. Now that there are more than 2000 people, there is no big movement in the stronghold, but they have food in their hands and are not panicking. Seeing that the stronghold is growing stronger and stronger, the order is in good order, and the poor people around it are not harmed at all. Zhu Wu and the other two secretly admire Lin Chong.

In addition to leading his troops in training, Lin Chong took the time to use the transmission function of the space-time router system to visit Liangshan Lake. At that time, Liangshan Lake was covered with reeds and had vast waters, making it very easy to hide and escape. However, there was no stronghold built on the island in the middle. Only dozens of refugees gathered and hid there, making a living by hunting and fishing.

Liangshan Lake was indeed a vast expanse of water at that time, with thousands of tributaries and hundreds of kilometers from east to west and north to south. It was probably two to three thousand square kilometers of water, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Unlike the Liangshan of later times, Liangshan Lake has gradually shrunk because the Yellow River has returned to its original course. Now it only has an area of ​​6.8 square kilometers. Finally, the government built it into a wetland park.

At that time, the large lake of Liangshan Lake was also called Juye Lake. Jishui River was originally a tributary of the Yellow River. Juye Lake was formed by the blockage of Jishui River. It was very large and was roughly located in the present Liangshan, Dongping, Yuncheng, Juye, Wenshang, Jiaxiang and Jining areas. The Jishui River and Wenhe River converged and flowed into Juye Lake, then flowed out from the northeast and finally into the sea.

Lin Chong lingered in Juye Lake and Liangshan for a long time. This place is indeed an excellent place to hide troops and garrison. It can attack when advancing or defend when retreating. It can also go directly to the sea in the northeast. Whether it is looting or occupying other countries, it has unique strategic advantages.
