Chapter sixty-eight

Ma Mingfeng was immediately overjoyed after hearing this. You must know that these people are all elites in the army. Many of them used to protect Yang Sichang. If they were allowed to follow them, there would be no risks on the road in the future. As for if they had the opportunity to lead troops to fight in the future, these people would be their absolute confidants.

However, Ma Mingfeng was not overwhelmed by joy. He thought for a while and then said, "Since Brother Yu said that, there is no problem here, but one thing is to be clear. I know that these heroes are all from iron-blooded men in the army. They are irritable and fighting on weekdays, but you are no longer soldiers, but my business staff, so you must be patient and tolerant. Of course, I will not treat you badly. I drink wine every three days and eat meat every five days. There is still five taels of silver in a month. You can ask where you will encounter such treatment? My conditions are now here. You can consider it. If you are willing to do it with me, you will do it well in the future. The treatment I give you will only get better and better, and it will not get worse. Of course, if you feel that you can't stand the constraints, you can leave directly. I can give you ten taels of silver in Sichuan travel expenses at one time."

Because Han Daoba was killed and the others surrendered, Ma Mingfeng's carriage and horse silver was naturally lost. He now has money, so he has great confidence in his words.

Those men agreed to follow Ma Mingfeng without even considering it. They can't even reveal their identities now. Where can they find such generous jobs? The boss is now generous. This is their blessing. They can't find a good job even with lanterns. If they don't want it, they are fools.

Seeing that all these people nodded and agreed, Ma Mingfeng felt really happy, but he couldn't show it yet, so he encouraged them to set up tents and pick up dry firewood, and camp here tonight.

This time, Ma Mingfeng took in a total of twenty strong men. Seeing that the boss was destined, Yu Zhenlong did not object, and immediately whistled and dispersed.

At this time, even the servants and old servants who served went to pick up dry firewood, and only Ma Mingfeng, Yang Wencong and Yu Zhenlong were left around the carriage.

Ma Mingfeng said to Yu Zhenlong: "I don't know what your plans are in the future, Brother Yu?"

Yu Zhenlong's expression changed and said, "Are you driving me away?"

When Ma Mingfeng heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, Brother Yu, you misunderstood. I have absolutely no intention. I am actually..."

Before Ma Mingfeng finished explaining, he saw Yu Zhenlong laughing and said, "I'm teasing you. Look at your panic, how come you look like the owner of a big business? In fact, I have the same identities as them, and I can't make it public. I hope you can help us clean up one day. I used to be unable to follow you because of something. Now that I have done my business, I will stay with you. Not only that, I will also accompany you to Beijing for the exam, and at the same time give you some advice on your martial arts. To be honest, if you have half of my strength, how can you be afraid of a character like Han Dao Scar?"

When Ma Mingfeng heard this, he smiled and said to Yu Zhenlong: "Brother Yu, I didn't expect you to joke too. I almost scared me up just now, but speaking of it, my martial arts is indeed not good. I really want to lose my man. If you don't dislike me, I will naturally be happy to learn from you. However, we have no status like this, which makes me feel uneasy. Let's do this. If my brother doesn't dislike it, how about we two of us join Jinlan?"

When Yu Zhenlong heard this, he burst into laughter and said to Ma Mingfeng: "I am really flattered for being able to get you so much in your opinion. Since I am not abandoned by you, then I would be respectful and obey my orders. We brothers and two of us will join Jinlan today."

After saying that, the two of them piled up soil to make furnaces and planted grass to incense. They knelt on the ground together and swear to heaven that they will live and die together from now on, and share blessings and difficulties together, and become brothers of life and death from then on.

After the oath, Ma Mingfeng greeted Yu Zhenlong again. He saw him kneeling on both knees and said excitedly: "Brother is here, please accept a bow from me."

"Brother, don't give me a gift, get up, get up." Yu Zhenlong helped Ma Mingfeng up and said with a smile: "It is a blessing for you to be a brother of life and death with a hero like you. Since we are brothers of life and death, then many good things from my Yu family can be passed on to you. Brother, you don't know. My Yu family's unique abilities are divided into two parts, one is martial arts, and the other is the book of formations and military affairs."

"What? Formation Soldier Book?" Ma Mingfeng couldn't help but feel shocked after hearing this. This is a good thing. You must know that Yu Dayou is a famous general of the Ming Dynasty. How precious should he summarize his life's practical experience? I'm afraid he doesn't have to think about it.

Yu Zhenlong nodded and said, "Yes, the military books of the formation are just left behind. Martial arts can be taught by people with kind character. However, the military books of the formation are not passed on by others. This is not because the military skills are treasured by the ancestors. It is really the profound way of military skills. If you cannot learn the law, it is not only useless, but also harmful. For example, Zhao Kuo, Ma Su and others can only talk about war on paper, but it will miss the big things. In order to avoid another Zhao Kuo and Ma Su, the uncle left such a lesson. He would rather let the military books of the formation be lazy at home than to cultivate Zhao Kuo and Ma Su."

Ma Mingfeng didn't agree with Yu Dayou's statement. After all, the warfare method of military books was originally used to cultivate generals and was of great significance to the guidance of combat. Some second-rate military strategists could sometimes win even if they talked about war on paper. Even the Qing people even studied "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as military books, and in many cases they achieved considerable results.

So although sometimes some generals who only know how to talk about war on paper will encounter great setbacks when they encounter real famous generals, it is always much better to spread the tactics of military books than to cherish them.

Of course, Yu Dayou was a famous general of the Ming Dynasty after all, and he was also the ancestor of his sworn brother. There was no need for him to blame others at this time, so he just nodded but did not speak.

Yu Zhenlong continued, "Yu doesn't know much about literacy, he is just a rough man, and he doesn't understand the military tactics of his uncle, so even if he can't take the imperial examination, he can only be a big soldier with some strength. But now in the midst of the Ming Dynasty, how can I still cherish myself? I can only find a way to help Uncle Xian find his successor. In fact, Yang Ge Lao still has some knowledge and is good to treat people, but after all, he is a little narrow-minded and stubborn. I originally dedicated the military book battle formation to him, but he has never read it. I would rather believe him.

My brother was very disappointed with the "tricky tricks" I had come up with. Later, I stole the military book array diagram to give it to those who really need it. I have been considering it for many days and thought that you are more suitable. If you want, I can give it to you, but I just gave it to you, because although my uncle Xian himself has good cultural cultivation, he does not know the way to narrate books. Therefore, the format of the book is a bit strange, and I don't need to mention it. Therefore, there are many difficult things in the military book of my uncle Xian, and I can only understand it by myself."
