Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

Soon, the team of 20 people was reorganized.

Chen Changfan looked at the militiamen. They all had straight backs and firm eyes. They were obviously elite talents.

With these 20 people, not only the size of the village protection team was greatly expanded, but the bandit suppression team also gained 10 people.

Not counting himself and Lao Wei, the 16-member bandit-suppression team is already a considerable force.

If an emergency occurs, people from the village protection team can be dispatched to provide reinforcements. In name only, they are all members of the bandit suppression team.

With enough manpower, he can plan more things, such as expanding the villa, adding more outposts, and the development of science and technology, industry, and agriculture can also be put on the agenda.

Although 20 more people were added, Chen Changfan did not buy horses or weapons for them. He, Lao Wei and Zhang Yi rode their horses slowly in front, and the 20 militiamen followed behind in a pitiful manner.

"Boss, do you want to call two ox carts to pull these militiamen up the mountain?"

Old Wei felt a little sorry.

"No need. If you can't even bear this little bit of hardship, then it's better to send you away early so that you won't let me down at a critical moment in the future."

Zhang Yi agreed with Chen Changfan's words. It is said that a kind person cannot command an army. If one shows too much mercy at the beginning, it will only give these people an impression of weakness. When they really encounter the enemy, it will be difficult to command them.

"Sir, this is the list of these 20 people. You can take a look at it."

Chen Changfan took it, flipped through it, and felt that the quality of this recruitment was really good.

Some of them come from martial arts families, some are veterans who have fought on the battlefield, and some have a blood feud with horse bandits. It is obvious that Lao Wei and Zhang Yi have a good eye for selecting people.

In Chen Changfan's opinion, these people were even better than the warriors he met in Chaijiabao that day.

In the past, he only thought that warriors were mysterious and powerful. After he mastered the first-level martial arts, he found that there are always people better than you. These so-called warriors in Qingshan County are nothing but second-rate stuff.

Only by climbing the stairs can one truly step into the threshold of a warrior.

However, Chen Changfan is not very interested in martial arts.

If the world was not so chaotic, and he had not to fight wild beasts on the one hand and be on guard against horse bandits and mountain bandits on the other, he would just want to farm at home and spend time with his wife and children.

"Wait until I get the industrial technology tree up and I'll pull out a Desert Eagle. No matter what level of warrior you are, I can kill you with one burst of bullets!"

Chen Changfan was fantasizing silently in his mind.

As he flipped through the list, he had a strange feeling. He called up the system panel and found that a skill called [Recitation] was lit up.

Spend 2 adventure points to push this skill to the extreme.

【Photographic memory, mastery of skills】

What a magical skill!

Chen Changfan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Sir, where are we going?"

The group walked for about half an hour before someone in the militia team finally couldn't hold it anymore and started asking.

They were all men who thought they had some basic skills, but they actually had to walk behind the horses for half an hour, which made everyone feel dissatisfied.

Chen Changfan pulled the reins and looked back at the man who was speaking. The man was not tall, but had strong limbs, especially a pair of big black hands, which looked like a pair of small bear paws.

"Your name is Yansong. You come from a family of martial arts. You once killed a horse bandit alone, but later you were retaliated by the bandits and your entire family was killed by them." Chen Changfan derived the man's information in one breath.

"Does your Excellency recognize me?"

Yansong was slightly stunned. He had just said these things when he registered just now. He didn't expect that the adults would remember him so quickly.

"I remember every one of you," Chen Changfan pointed at the middle-aged man next to him.

"Wei Jun, you served in the army for ten years, but were later discharged due to injury. Now you are over fifty, can you still eat?"

The middle-aged man with a scar on his face was slightly startled, because his leg, which was injured from walking all the way, was now stretched straight.

He looked at Chen Changfan with a pair of weathered eyes, gave a military salute and said, "Sir, if you go into battle, I am willing to be your vanguard."

In ancient times, "Ma Qian Zu" meant "soldiers running and shouting in front of horses", which was also the guards' expression of their willingness to charge to the front. Chen Changfan was reluctant to let his men become cannon fodder. He could not afford and did not know how to fight a life-for-life strategy.

If he cannot achieve a one-for-ten exchange in a battle, it would be a mistake in his command.

"Don't worry, I won't joke about my own lives."

He returned the salute to the guards, then looked at everyone, "After walking this mountain road for half an hour, if anyone among you feels hardship, fatigue, or dissatisfaction, you can raise your hand and leave my team."

After the words fell, everyone was puzzled, but seeing that Chen Changfan did not seem to be joking, they immediately realized the weight of his words.

After a long while, no one raised their hands. Chen Changfan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since no one is leaving, I will make it clear in advance that apart from food, lodging and salary being paid on time, no horses or weapons will be provided.

There is a large open space on Xiaofeng Mountain. You can build a garrison there.

The bandits have horses and weapons, you can just rob them.

Of course, if anyone can kill the bandits, the reward will be substantial."

He took out a tael of silver from his pocket and threw it to Zhang Yi, "I remember you killed a bandit today. This is your reward."

Zhang Yi had completely forgotten about the reward, but he didn't expect that the adults still remembered it.

He took the silver with some emotion and bowed to Chen Changfan to express his gratitude.

Everyone looked at Chen Changfan in disbelief, thinking that this was the first time they had seen such a way of leading troops.

To be honest, everyone was a little disappointed. They had all been confident in their abilities and were eager to get on horseback to suppress the bandits, but now they were told that there were no horses, no weapons, and they even had to build their own garrisons.

But now that they had arrived, everyone had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up Xiaofeng Mountain.

After going up the mountain, everyone was dumbfounded again.

The five members of the bandit suppression team were all in high spirits. They lived in a spacious guardhouse with more than a dozen high-quality weapons and even more than a dozen horses for them to choose from.

This seems to be different from what Lord Chen said?

"Don't look at it. Those are all what we robbed today. Next time we go out to suppress bandits, you can also rob the horse bandits."

Zhang Yi deliberately said it lightly, leaving everyone stunned.

What do you think of the horse bandits?

The bandits treat the people as fat sheep, and you treat the bandits as fat sheep, right?

"Okay, stop standing there. We still have time to build a garrison. If you're slow, you'll have to sleep in the wild tonight."

"It's quite cool in this wilderness, but a thick layer of frost forms at night, and tigers and wolves occasionally come here to hunt for food."

Zhang Yi and Lao Wei looked at each other and said with a hint of ridicule in their eyes.

These people started working immediately, working with all their might, fearing that they would die here because they had no place to stay.

The two men couldn't help but want to laugh when they saw that the people who had been arrogant just now were now working hard.

As expected of an adult, he subdued these arrogant guys right from the start.

If we leave it to the two of them to train, it will probably take at least three to five days to tame these people.
