The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

All the hall masters stood up at once, turned around and saluted Qingfeng Li.

"Ready at all the time!"

Not to mention the other hall masters in the hall, even Xiangling beside Qingfeng Li was excited, with eyes flashing.

These days, under the guidance of the Peak Master and Military Advisor Ai, Xiangling understood.

She is not a lowly slave, but a living person.

Here in Qingfeng Village, she felt for the first time that she was respected and cared for as a human being.

She likes Qingfeng Village very much and doesn't want it to be destroyed by the imperial army!

Qingfeng Li looked at the spirits of the crowd, nodded with satisfaction, and waved his hand.

"Great! Sit down!"

Everyone sat back in their seats at once.

Qingfeng Li slowly stood up.

"The slogans are so loud, but if we want to fight against the imperial army, we won't be able to kill many people just by talking!"

Qingfeng Li swept his eyes across everyone's faces, seeing the fighting spirit in their eyes, raised his fist and shouted,

"So we must arm ourselves! Therefore, this Peak Master has decided!"

"Expand!"

When they heard the word "expansion", all the hall masters' eyes lit up instantly and their faces showed surprise.

At the beginning, Qingfeng Village took the route of elite troops.

Even though there are said to be 50,000 bandits, there are at least 10,000 young and strong men.

However, the village always implements an elite assessment system and only recruits members from Yangzhou.

Even now, the hall with the largest number of members is the Wulong Hall that guards the Datong Mountain.

But there are only more than 500 official bandit members, but each of them can fight against ten elite soldiers.

In addition, there are a large number of reserve members or subordinate forces.

For example, the underground forces in Yangzhou City, the arsenal and logistics personnel in Qingfengzhai, etc.

In just half a year, Qingfeng Village's reputation had already spread.

Countless people in many surrounding states who could not make a living all wanted to join Qingfeng Village.

Although Qingfeng Village often provides aid to those people,

But there was an order from the Peak Master before, and the organization was fixed, so no one could recruit people privately.

Now the Peak Master has proposed to expand the team.

It is conceivable that once the expansion begins.

Then, considering Qingfeng Village's current reputation around Yangzhou and the countless people who can't survive,

It can be said that the number of people in Qingfeng Village will increase several times in an instant.

In this way, the strength of these hall masters will inevitably increase.

Although they had all been brainwashed by Xiao Ai, they were extremely loyal to Qingfeng Li.

But as an individual, who doesn’t want to strive for excellence and bring honor to the family?

After Xiao Ai's rigorous training over the past six months, the government officials and the imperial court are nothing in their eyes!

It should have been overthrown long ago!

Although the expansion is just recruiting people, it also means that their peak master will no longer be content to be a mountain king in Yangzhou!

Of course, Qingfeng Li also understood what these hall masters were thinking.

At the beginning, he also wanted to immediately raise the flag to capture Yangzhou, and then establish his own territory and fight against the imperial court in the north.

However, although Li Qingfeng did not have the assistance of a peerless military strategist to give him advice,

But he has Xiao Ai, a classmate who is well-versed in knowledge from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign.

After Li Qingfeng told Xiao Ai about his goal, Xiao Ai told him after analyzing the pros and cons.

Even though the imperial court was exhausted and constrained by all sides, it was still powerful.

Without strength and popular support, Qingfeng Village, even with advanced science and technology,

However, if Yangzhou was captured, it would soon attract the attention of all parties in the imperial court, and they would then suppress it with all their might.

Xiao Ai calculated for Qingfeng Li that his chances of success would be less than 0.000000000001%.

Therefore, Li Qingfeng was able to patiently implement the policy of elite troops.

The number of official members of the entire Qingfeng Village is controlled at around two thousand.

He planned to bully him for three to five years, manage Yangzhou and the surrounding areas like an iron barrel, and then declare war on the imperial court.
