Fulai Inn, this is the inn Zhou Wanggui designated when he protected him.
Sitting at the round table in the room were Wu Santong, Liu Feng, and Liu Yan, serving tea.
"How's the recruitment going?"
"A huge number of people have responded, over 600 already. I estimate that the number will be almost gone by tonight."
"Do you want to go over and take a look, or wait a little longer?"
"How about this, you go and exchange the change of five thousand taels for loose change later."
"Then we'll go to town and do some shopping, and then we'll go see these new recruits."
Then he said to Liu Yan, "Go tell the boss to prepare lunch. Remember, it must be plenty so that Da Zhuang can eat his fill."
"After you finish eating, have a good sleep. I'll take Dazhuang out."
Not long after, in the open space at the city gate.
This is the temporary base designated by Governor Xia Lihong for Liu Feng. The small open space is already full of people.
There were many ruffians and vagrants squatting outside and watching.
These onlookers were restless, glaring at each other and provoking each other.
These recruits usually carry their own weapons and armor.
So these soldiers who signed up all carried a knife or an axe.
Seeing the leader appear, a scoundrel in the distance immediately stood up and spat fiercely on the ground.
"What is it?"
He was still cursing.
Then the three younger brothers who followed him did the same and walked towards Liu Feng.
"It seems you are the one in charge?"
"Brothers, we've all signed up to join the army. Isn't it time to deliver the promised mixed grain rice?"
"We've been waiting for quite some time, but we haven't seen the multi-grain rice mentioned in the notice."
"Are you kidding us?"
The recruitment notice listed so many generous conditions that Liu Feng had long expected that someone would have ulterior motives.
For example, deserting after getting food.
This rascal probably has this idea right now.
Get the food and go.
But they were wrong. Liu Feng never did anything without preparation.
Since we can think of it, there must be a way to deal with it.
"I understand you came for food, but I won't give it to you now."
"When the troops are dispatched, no one will be left behind."
"If I give it to you now, and you take the food and run away, and everyone else follows suit, wouldn't that make us a laughing stock?"
Liu Feng asked with a smile.
The scoundrel looked behind him and found a shiny small knife in his hand, about twenty centimeters long.
Several of his younger brothers followed suit.
"I don't care whether you go to the army or not. Since I have signed up to join the army, I want food and grain now."
"Give it to me or not? If you don't, don't blame us for being cruel and ruthless."
The ruffian waved the knife left and right in front of Liu Feng and gestured at him.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Dazhuang's eyes as he stood behind Liu Feng.
Dazhuang has eaten a lot these two days. Liu Feng is his biological parent. Anyone who dares to treat Liu Feng like this is like stabbing his adoptive parents.
What's more, there is no place to release so much energy.
Seeing Da Zhuang about to attack, Liu Feng raised his hand to stop him.
Then he approached the ruffian with an indifferent look on his face.
He was helpless to see Liu Feng so brave that he actually faced his knife and walked towards him with his head held high.
A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately shouted to give himself courage, and stabbed the knife towards Liu Feng's abdomen.
You really don't know how to live or die.
Liu Feng waved his hand casually, stretched out his hand lightly, and grabbed his wrist, and then he heard a snapping sound.
The ruffian's wrist had been broken.
The knife in his hand fell to the ground and Liu Feng laughed.
"You're courting death, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Then he raised his foot and kicked suddenly.
The knife hit the ruffian's neck precisely.
As a line of blood passed by, there was a "puff" sound.
When I looked again, I saw that blood was gushing out of the rascal's neck and his throat was cut.
Liu Feng remained calm and kicked him out with great force, sending him flying. He landed on the ground and rolled several times before coming to a stop.
Da Zhuang, who was standing behind Liu Feng, was stunned by Liu Feng's nonchalant operation. What kind of skill was this?
I'm afraid he is no match for her. Does someone so powerful still need protection?
The few thugs following behind were so frightened by this scene that their faces turned pale and they ran away screaming.
Liu Feng still had a smiling expression on his face.
He said slowly while looking at the thousands of people in front of him.
"Now, do any of you still have opinions about my military orders?"
"If you want to play tricks on me, you better consider your IQ first."
"If you want to arm wrestle with me, or compete with me in strength, first consider whether your bones are strong enough."
"Now, I'm giving you a chance. If you're here for food and want to cheat me, get out now."
"If you don't leave now, you will have to follow my military orders."
"Otherwise, this is the outcome."
"The only outcome is death."
Everyone looked at the corpse that was still cold and fell into fear, looking at each other left and right.
Finally, one person could not hold back any longer and left first. Following this person's departure, nearly two hundred people returned one after another.
Looking at the six or seven hundred people still left on the field, Liu Feng smiled with satisfaction.
Among those who stayed, there must have been some who just wanted to collect the grains and rice and leave.
But they all have one thing in common, that is, they are cruel enough, and the cruel look is exactly what Liu Feng needs.
As the saying goes, "One bad soldier makes a bad general." These tough guys only need the ability to be controlled. As long as they can be controlled well, they will be a roaring army.
Of course, some of them are ordinary people holding farm tools.
These people serve in the army and eat food in order to make a living, so their eyes are calm but unusually firm.
The best way to control these people who are forced into a desperate situation is to feed them and keep them warm, and they will be loyal enough.
But now, Liu Feng has no time to sympathize with them.
As long as you survive the next battle against bandits.
Only then will you be qualified to join the Tiger Roar Army, and have the opportunity to have enough food and clothing with Liu Feng and create a different world together.
"Okay, since you haven't left yet, I hope that from now on, you will all be my brothers, Liu Feng."
"Now, you guys, follow me."
Next, Liu Feng took these people to the market.
On the way there, he happened to meet Wu San Tong who had just exchanged silver.
By the way, a lot of necessary supplies were also prepared.
The supplies Liu Feng wanted were pots, pans, kerosene and other items.
After distributing the supplies to everyone, Liu Feng led everyone towards the river beach under Feihuo Mountain.
After leaving the city, a lot of people gathered together.
There were about seven hundred people in total. Liu Feng grinned at them.
These people are enough for tonight.
As for the subsequent recruitment matters, Wu San Tong will be in charge of it. We can just let Wu San Tong bring them over when the time comes.
