Chapter 150
In fact, many people will not think of the consequences when doing certain things. Just like the inconspicuous sparks in the grassland, or like a butterfly spreading its wings inadvertently... They will not know the subsequent prairie fire and the surging storms in the distance.
...
After listening to the results of the pilot project of the big-character poster plan, Luosha immediately decided to cast a large net. The Propaganda Department, Tactics Department, Scout Team and other departments were launched. Villages and towns with a radius of more than 100 kilometers were marked on the map as soon as possible. Then a group of personnel, one big-character poster after another, like the light of the rising sun in the morning, quickly radiating to all directions.
The vivid comics, the real and tragic stories, the simple and powerful gray-clothed army concept... like nuclear fission, stirred up waves in the hearts of thousands of poor people.
Of course, such a response is also attributed to the unyielding struggle of the Gray-Clothed Army for more than ten years. These good impressions made before are now beginning to accumulate strength.
All this was going on quietly, and the nobles who were domineering in the city did not know that a vigorous movement was accumulating strength.
Propaganda is just the first step in the big-character poster plan. The next step is to go to the gray-clothed military personnel to harvest the results. They either want to become villagers of the gray-clothed military, or bags of food supported by bags...
The strength of the gray-clothed army is expanding at an unprecedented speed. The small oath meetings that any person in the past will be held, are now changed to one period of three days, and then become one period of five days, one period of one week...
Everything is two-sided, just as everything has its pros and cons. In addition to enhancing the strength of the Gray Clothing Army, those who continue to join also bring some management difficulties. The garrison area has been expanding again and again, and a large number of veterans have also begun to take up the position of captain... The senior executives of the Gray Clothing Army began to fall into the trouble of happiness. First of all, there was not enough armor and weapons, and then food was also a problem in the future... I thought that a score of those nobles would last for a long time, but now it seems that it is far from enough.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace. More than a month after the big-character poster plan was implemented, Losha held a high-level meeting in her hut. This time, in addition to those old ministers, Don, Joshia, and Borg were also asked to join.
Joshia and Borg are due to their recent outstanding performance, especially Joshia. You should know that even Bosco, they all think that the big-character poster plan was made by her. Now that we have achieved such a gratifying effect, we are naturally qualified to have a seat here.
It was somewhat unexpected that Tang En sat next to the old ministers, but thinking about the military achievements he had made before was barely enough.
But Tang En is a little bored now. He came here purely because of Luosha's request. He has not been concerned about the changes in the resident recently, but has devoted all his energy to training the new members.
"Ahem, since you're all here, let's start!" Luosha cleared his throat and then turned his eyes to Bosco.
The latter nodded understandingly and stood up to take out a paper: "In the past month and a half, more than 25,000 people have joined the gray-clothed army, and the donated about 30,000 kilograms of grain..."
Wow—
When everyone heard this, they were filled with energy and were happy.
Tang En also raised his eyebrows. He knew that the gray-clothed army was expanding rapidly recently, but he did not expect such amazing results.
"...Joshia made a great contribution to achieving such a result, so please allow me to express my gratitude." After saying that, Bosco bowed halfway and bowed to Joshia.
"Uh..." Joshia was shocked, her little face turned red, she hurriedly stood up and bowed back to greet her, "Minister Bosco, you are so serious, I, I..."
As he stammered, Joshia couldn't help but turn her shameful gaze to Don Eun on the side.
She naturally knew who the big-character poster plan came from, but both Tang En and Luosha had told her that the plan should be recorded in her name.
Tang En took the lead in applauding and smiled: "Joshia, don't be too modest, this is your credit!"
Slap sex...
Everyone around them applauded with smiles and no idea what happened, so they all looked encouraging.
Joshia was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and bowed to the people around her.
Didn't she know that Luosha would support her as a hero? Tang En looked at Luosha in confusion. The latter stroked his forehead. Recently, she had been plagued by miscellaneous things, so she forgot to communicate with Joshia.
After a short break of applause, Bosco said again: "But because of so many people joining, the resident logistics has issued a warning. If this continues, we will fall into a food crisis in a month."
"Not bad!" Luosha nodded, "This is also the reason why everyone is called. I hope I can find a way to solve this problem."
Tang En suddenly realized that it seemed that Luo Sha invited him to come here because he wanted him to come up with another good idea... He smiled bitterly, and Tang En couldn't help but shake his head. His family knew his family's affairs, and it was really useless to find him with such problems...
In addition to soldiers, the people who joined later were still open their mouths. If this problem cannot be properly solved, it will indeed hurt morale.
The source of economic resources of the Gray Clothes Army mainly relies on donations from the public. In the past, when there were not many people, they could barely maintain a balance. Now, after joining these 25,000 people, the balance will be broken immediately. It can be said that if it hadn't been for making a fortune recently, the Gray Clothes Army would now fall into famine.
The problem has been put on the table, and the relaxed atmosphere that started first was wiped out. Everyone was thinking hard, and the occasionally proposed ideas were either because of the symptoms but not the root cause or because they were not realistic, and they were quickly rejected during the discussion.
Tang En yawned secretly, he gave up early, which was really not a problem he could solve. He swept around and focused his attention on Zuofan in the corner of the wall. The latter still looked like he had no presence, closing his eyes and holding the sword, as if he was in a state of rest.
Is this an empty-level warrior? It turns out that he has the style of a master... Tang En's boring guess.
As if he felt the gaze, Zuofan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Tang En, nodded slightly, and then closed his eyes again.
Tang En was stunned and touched his nose. It felt really sensitive...
At this moment, "I have an idea." A clear voice came out.
Tang En turned his head in surprise and saw Borg get up from his seat and salute.
"Oh? Let's hear it." Luosha asked with interest.
"My idea is to establish a fixed production place behind the station!" Borg said confidently, "We have now reserved quite strong power and will be stronger in the future. So why don't we establish a solid defense and use this place as the base camp of the Gray-Clothed Army? As long as we can defend it, we can free up our hands to produce and be self-sufficient..."
Borg's idea is undoubtedly feasible. This model is actually like the nobles in addition to their own manors, and there are some production farms. The gray-clothed army was chased and could not gain a foothold because of their poor strength. Now with the big-character poster plan, their strength will undoubtedly develop rapidly. In this way, it is very necessary to establish a base.
However, was this idea really come up with Borg? Tang En had doubts about this. Through previous contacts, Tang En knew that Borg was very smart and was especially good at tactics, but he was completely amateur in these logistics and other internal affairs...
"Borg's idea is good!"
"Yes, now we can really consider building our own territory."
“…”
Several old ministers' eyes lit up and they spoke in support of Borg's idea.
"But it takes time to grow crops, at least several months. What should we do with our current problems?" At this time, an old minister asked.
Everyone was stunned and nodded immediately. Yes, this idea is good, but the effect period is too slow, and the distance cannot quench the near thirst.
Borg said with a clear mind: "I have also considered this. Recently, Bran is going to war with the Northern Wilderness Tribe, and the military supplies are transported from the rear cities. I suggest starting from here!"
"You mean we used it to grab it?"
Shaking his head slightly, Borg smiled and said, "No, it was the thieves who robbed them, and it had nothing to do with our gray army."
"Uh..." Looking at Borg's unidentified smile, everyone came to their senses and understood his intentions.
Borg's meaning is very simple, which is to let the gray-clothed soldiers pretend to be bandits and commit robbery. Anyway, there are many bandits in the north, so Bran's official will not doubt them for a while.
"good!"
"I think this idea is OK. I have to chase us for so many years, so it's time for them to pay a price." Old General Oumeng nodded and laughed.
At this time, Tang En noticed Bosco with a chuckling corner of his mouth. Yes, this idea should have been thought of by him. Now he just borrowed Borg's mouth to say it. The reason is easy to think about, just like the big-character poster plan was recorded in Joshia's name, in order to improve reputation and achievements.
"Very good, Borg, you have a good idea!" Luosha nodded with joy. She did not expect the problem to be solved so quickly.
Borg was praised, and his complacent expression could not help but reveal himself, but he was not a fool, so he quickly bowed to thank everyone for their encouragement.
The atmosphere in the wooden house returned to relaxation. The old ministers looked at Joshia and Borg with a look of appreciation. The two of them have indeed performed well recently.
At this moment, dongdongdongdongdong... the knock on the door sounded!
Luosha was stunned. She had already told the guards outside that they had a meeting today and would not let outsiders disturb them.
"Come in!"
A young man in gray pushed the door and walked in and saluted: "Hey, chief, ministers, chief, I have an urgent report."
Tang En raised his eyebrows. Isn’t this Colin from the Propaganda Department?
"Yeah, you said."
"When we went to a village to continue our publicity today, we found that several villagers who had donated food to us were beaten and seriously injured..."
"What!"
"Damn, who did it?"
Everyone was furious. Most of the Grey Army were originally from civilians. And now the one who was beaten was donated to the food, which was clearly aimed at the Grey Army. If this matter is not handled well, it will make the people feel afraid and will also affect the big-character poster plan.
Colin continued: "It is the owner of this fief, a knight named Claude."
Luo Sha had a gloomy face and nodded, "I understand, you can go out first."
After Colin brought him to the door, Luosha glanced around and said, "What should you do about this?"
"Of course, you're going back!" The hot-tempered veteran General Oumeng immediately stated, "I'll let a team of people set off now and flatten his manor."
"I have no objection to kill you..." an old minister frowned, "But will the consequences attract some people's attention?"
This incident happened very abnormally. The big-character poster plan is in full swing. If it is targeted by Bran's official for killing this knight, it will be hard to say what consequences will happen.
It can be said that the gray-clothed army is now in a dilemma. If they do not kill, they will make everyone's hearts cold, and may also have a bad impact on the big-character poster plan. Killing will be unpredictable, and even if one is not good, they will continue to be chased.
The situation is very obvious. Now it depends on how the senior management will make a decision. Suddenly,
"Hu..." Luo Sha, who had originally pondered and watched the discussion, breathed a sigh of relief and said firmly: "Kill!" Luo Sha was going to establish his authority with this. She now does not allow anything to stop the development of the big-character poster plan.
Luosha is the supreme leader of the gray-clothed army and has the final decision-making power. But she is not a good person. Her decisions are discussed with everyone. Of course, this does not mean that she does not have the ability to make decisions. Once she settles her mind, Luosha can be said to be decisive.
"Okay! I..." Old General Oumeng slapped his palm and waited for the order.
"Wait!" Tang En suddenly stood up at this time, first apologized to the veteran General Oumeng, and then said calmly: "Chief, how about handing over this mission to the gray space?"
Tang En is worried about how to bring the recent members to experience the actual experience. After all, no matter how much you train, you will eventually kill people. Now that he has this opportunity, he will certainly not miss it.
Luosha looked at Tang En who took the initiative to fight and instantly understood his intention and nodded, "Okay. But this time I will kill you thoroughly and wipe the manor away!"
"Don't worry, professional, leader!"
Chapter completed!
