Shen Tang couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
"No wonder..."
Qishan was very sharp-eared. He asked, "What do you mean 'no wonder'?"
Zhai Le also looked over after hearing the voice. Shen Tang said, "You said that a fifth-class doctor could start planning to form his own private army. No wonder more than a hundred countries were carved up and the world was in disarray. As long as a brave warrior has ambitions, isn't it easy to cause trouble?"
Zhai Le couldn't help but vindicate the Wudan warrior.
"The current situation has little to do with warriors."
Qishan couldn't bear to look at it either.
He said with a smile: "How powerful do you really think warriors are? You can establish your own territory by recruiting a group of private troops? How can it be so easy! If that were the case, there would be thousands of countries in the world instead of just a hundred, and every town or village could be a country. Besides, it is not that easy to train private troops? How many warriors can't even support themselves..."
Shen Tang: "... So miserable?"
Qishan said: "Well, it's miserable."
Shen Tang said, "I don't believe it."
"Since Mr. Shen doesn't believe me, I will do the math for you."
A brave warrior wants to establish his own regime
We need to train our private army, right
The first hurdle is the cost of practicing martial arts and strengthening the body. You can't afford to eat big fish and meat, but meat is essential. If you want to be more extravagant, you can also supplement it with medicinal herbs to maximize your potential.
The second hurdle is the cost of feeding and drinking hundreds of people. Training soldiers and practicing martial arts consumes the most physical energy. How can you build up strength without eating meat? How can you win a war without strength
Eating alone can make you poor.
Think this is the end
No, no, no, there are still many hurdles to overcome.
The third hurdle is that private troops must learn various military formations and be able to coordinate changes according to the orders of the commander-in-chief. This cannot be mastered in a day or two, but requires years of hard training and adjustment.
The fourth hurdle is the assistance of the Word Spirit, which requires not only the military spirit of the commander, but also the assistance of the literary spirit of the scholar.
Only by combining the two can we complement each other's strengths and overcome each other's weaknesses.
Now that everything is done, can we go to the battlefield
No, no, no, there is one last and most important one.
Shen Tang listened carefully and couldn't help but say, "And the most important thing? We have trained the soldiers well, but this is not enough?"
"Of course not enough."
"What's the most important thing?"
"The Great Seal!"
The first few hurdles can be solved with money, but the last hurdle is so shocking that no amount of money can get you over it.
"Is the Great Seal... really that important?"
Shen Tang had heard Qi Shan mention the national seal more than once, but she had never been very interested in it and had never had a deep understanding of it. She took this opportunity to find out more.
Qishan did not hide his true intention and avoid talking about it this time.
How important is the national seal to a power
It was so important that if a general went to the battlefield, either he had the national seal or the lord he was loyal to had the national seal, otherwise going to the battlefield was equivalent to sending warmth to the enemy. It was not only about the "way of the princes", but also about resisting foreign enemies and stabilizing the fate of the country.
How to defend against foreign enemies
Based on the national spirit and destiny, we will build a national border barrier.
The stronger the country's fortune, the stronger the border barrier.
You can't even break this, and you still want to capture the city
Go to bed early.
How to stabilize the country's destiny
This one doesn't have much substance, and it belongs to the category of the mysterious. For example, somehow reducing the frequency of various natural disasters in the territory... Of course, it is limited to natural conditions.
People can control natural disasters but not man-made disasters.
If the grandson of the upstream country deliberately cuts off the river before the rainy season, causing drought in the downstream area, and then releases water to discharge flood water when the rainy season comes, causing the downstream area to be washed away by the flood, no matter how strong the country's fortune is, it will be useless.
Generally speaking, if you have the National Seal, you will have the most basic and complete buff. If you don't have the National Seal, you won't have this buff, and you will be far behind others. If you go to the battlefield naked to fight with others, even a 20th-level Che Hou will be beaten to a pulp.
Do you want to occupy a hill and then raise the flag to be the king
dream!
After listening to the description, Shen Tang: "..."
There was only one thought left in my mind—oh my god, this is a “city building order” or “gang building order” thing
All of the above fully illustrates the difficulty of warrior separatism.
Zhai Le also added: "The real strength of a Wudan warrior lies in the battlefield, not in single combat. In single combat, he is essentially the same as a ranger. At most, he is a little stronger than an ordinary ranger, and can fight ten, a hundred, or even a thousand at once..."
Sounds scary, right
But since the advent of the Thief Star, in the past two hundred years, only three people have emerged as 20th-rank Chehou! There are only over a thousand people with names and surnames at 15th rank or above. Compared with the population of the mainland over the past two hundred years, this number is just a drop in the ocean. How can it affect the overall situation
If Qi Shan hadn't been by his side, he would have even wanted to pass the buck—
In today's world, it is obvious that scholars of letters and literati have a greater responsibility.
Shen Tang sighed: "That's scary too."
A low-level Wudan warrior is still okay, at most he is a warrior with some fighting power. A mid-to-high-level Wudan warrior has strength that is completely beyond the scope of ordinary people and is heading for high-level martial arts.
It is really difficult for ordinary people to survive.
Perhaps because he was too focused on the conversation, Qi Shan didn't notice the grunting in his ears until he was about to go down the mountain. His face darkened, and he looked down and saw that the naughty kid was still holding the two black pigs in his hands.
He actually led the black pig all the way down the mountain!!!
He glanced at Shen Tang with a fake smile.
"Mr. Shen?"
Do you really want to recruit people by leading a big black pig
Shen Tang shook his head like a rattle: "No! After all, it's over 100 or 200 kilograms of meat, I will never throw it away!"
Qishan: “…”
He couldn't even control Shen Tang, so how could he control Zhai Le
Qi Shan had no choice but to swallow his anger and headed straight for the town near Xiaocheng with the two naughty kids and two black-faced men.
Although it is called a small town, it is actually composed of about twenty scattered poor villages, with a total of no more than a thousand households.
Today is the once-a-month "big market".
Although it is called a "big bazaar", there are not many decent goods sold there.
The most common commodity is people.
On both sides of the simple dusty muddy road, under the low earthen walls, "commodities" of different ages are standing, sitting or lying, with straw stuck in their hair. Some are brought by the tooth-sucking shops, some are sold by themselves, and some are "small family workshops".
The so-called "family workshops" are either parents selling their children, husbands selling their wives and children, or children selling their fathers and mothers... All kinds of human life are vividly portrayed in this small place. They sell their relatives, not all of them are crazy for money.
Shen Tang saw a mother who was so thin that her cheeks were thin and her eye sockets were severely sunken. She hugged her son tightly and begged passers-by to buy him. She was willing to be beaten or scolded as long as she could give her son something to eat.
The child was dressed in rags and was obviously skinny from hunger. His ribs were visible, his arms and thighs were so thin that the outline of his bones could be seen, but his belly was as big as that of a woman in her sixth or seventh month of pregnancy.
She reluctantly looked away: "Yuanliang... he is..."
Qishan said: "The person is beyond saving."
Zhai Le couldn't bear it either, and sighed, "It must be because he ate too much dirt, which accumulated in his stomach and intestines, which was not good for his future. He just died..."
The attire of Shen Tang and his two companions did not fit in with the local people. The two fat, dark-faced men who looked tough and difficult to deal with attracted countless attention, and even passers-by could not help but give way to them.
