Jiang Bin really didn't expect that this phenomenon would happen. Among the remaining 30,000 people, there were actually 20,000 people willing to follow him. This really surprised him. Could it be that he really had such great appeal and influence in this army, even if he surrendered, Li Wufeng and others would follow him. He really couldn't believe it. He didn't know the mystery until his confidant quietly went down and learned about it.

Although they followed the Taiping Cult to rise up, these soldiers from the poorest class did not seem to have gained any benefits from the uprising and war, and there seemed to be no change in their hometown. The original fantasy of the equalization of the rich and the poor and the fields that they wanted in their hearts seemed to be gradually left behind. No one mentioned it again. It seemed that the only change was that their family members could obtain a small piece of land, which was too far from the original expectations. The word "no salary" in the Holy Cult Army also made these farmers from the bottom start to get tired of these wars one after another, and even began to hide and escape.

The fall of the comrades-in-arms also made them feel that the army from the northwest was essentially different from those imperial troops that were about to collapse. Seeing the people living around them suddenly turned into mud, these soldiers who had not experienced too many cruel wars began to feel the cruelty of the war. The surrender clause announced by the leader could allow those who did not want to surrender to leave, which made many people unable to believe, and even doubt whether this was a trap to massacre prisoners.

There seems to be only one way left, that is surrender, sincere surrender. The Northwest Army's generous salary and relaxed policies have already caused various shocks among those who have never enjoyed similar conditions. This is also the reason why they voluntarily follow the head coach to surrender. This change is not only unexpected to Jiang Bin, but also surprised Wufeng. Is this the army that fought with his army two days ago and was tenacious and unyielding. The material basis determines everything. This truth seems to be particularly clearly reflected in the process of surrender this time, which makes Wufeng unimaginable.

"Brother Jiang, what are you going to do in the future?" Wufeng asked casually while walking around the city wall. After a day of long talk, from political economy to military strategy, Wufeng's eloquence was fully demonstrated. Jiang Bin also deeply realized how big the difference between the Taiping Sect he had followed and the forces represented by the guy in front of him. Although there is no clue from the current situation, Jiang Bin knew that the two sides were in an extremely inequality from the beginning.

In terms of status, it was an extremely asymmetric competition. The Taiping Cult can set off a storm in a short period of time and even shake the foundation of the empire. However, the Taiping Cult will never be the Taiping Cult who will eventually win the world. Li Wufeng's ambition and foresight made Jiang Bin impressed in the shortest time. He was even glad that he made a very clear choice. Looking back on his time indulging in the fantasy of Taiping Cult unifying the world, he was simply ashamed of his naivety and simplicity of his thoughts.

"Sir, since Jiang has surrendered, he is naturally following the orders of his master. However, this army may be a little different from the elite soldiers under his command. First, they have not undergone formal training and rely on courage to fight. Second, after all, they have experienced such a bloody battle, and their morale has been a little hit. Third, they want to turn the gun to attack the Taiping Army immediately, and I am afraid that their thoughts will be difficult to turn around for a while, so please understand,——" Jiang Bin expressed his opinion tactfully. He knew that although the man in front of him was young, all the generals under his command were people who could fight, but he bowed his head in front of this person, which shows that this person has extraordinary insight. Naturally, he also needs to be cautious in his words and actions to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Brother Jiang doesn't have to be so polite. What Li promised will never rebel. I have not allowed your army to participate in the battle against the Taiping Army, but I want to hear how you are preparing to transform this army. As far as I know, although your army is still stable at present, there are still many problems within it." Wufeng shook his head slightly and explained with a smile.

"My sir is so serious. Since Jiang has surrendered, this army is naturally under your command. Jiang is just entrusted by the adults to serve as a temporary steward. It's just that the adults have problems. Jiang also feels that although these 20,000 people have surrendered with Jiang, there are already many people in it who are second aspirations. They are just worried about revenge and assassination and have to pretend to be respectful. I think we should first clear out these people and only retain the people who are truly willing to serve you. This situation will be much better." Jiang Bin also understood the meaning of Wufeng's words. He was not worried about anything else. After all, if the other party is not at ease with himself and his troops, he can take down himself and his troops when he has an absolute advantage after entering the city to surrender. However, the other party did not do this. Instead, he generously handed over the troops to his command and management, which made Jiang Bin happy and ashamed.

"Well, this must be solved immediately. I don't want this phenomenon in my army. Brother Jiang can declare again that those who do not want to stay can leave safely and pay travel expenses, but they must not stay in the area I control, and give a last time. If you don't leave and have different ambitions, don't blame us for not giving them a chance." Wufeng's words were very peaceful, but the last sentence showed a faint sense of coldness.

Jiang Bin nodded in agreement with understanding. The army is not other departments, so it is absolutely not allowed to be disloyal to the commander. It is of course understandable to do so. "Sir, please rest assured. Jiang Bin will definitely arrange this work carefully and will never let those who have two wills mix in this army. However, according to Jiang's opinion, the number of such people will not be too large. After all, the vast majority of people left when they were announced. The rest are either the old brothers who have followed Jiang for many years, or they are left behind by admiring the reputation of the adult. People in these two aspects should account for the vast majority."

"Okay, let's not talk about this question anymore. What I asked you just now has another meaning. How do you plan to transform your army?" Wufeng didn't want to go around in circles and asked the core of the question directly.

Jiang Bin's face became serious. He also knew that the coach invited him to come out and must discuss this issue. He said it was a discussion, but in fact it was a gift for himself. Of course, he was the leader of this army, and the other party must also ask for his opinions. He was already prepared in his heart.

"Sir, my idea is to take the troops to an area designated by the adults after cleaning up the unstable elements of the army. It is best to leave the area contacted by the Taiping Army, disrupt the original organization, and re-train the training according to the organization of the Northwest Army. I heard that the Northwest Military Academy is a cradle for training officers at all levels. Can you ask adults to arrange some graduates to serve in this army, and you can also select potential and promising people from the existing officers and soldiers to study and train at the Northwest Military Academy, so that they can systematically learn and master military knowledge. I also want to take this opportunity to study in the academy." Jiang Bin looked serious and solemnly suggested.

Wufeng cannot help but admire the guy in front of him for being smart. He almost completely covered the issues he considered. He fully expressed his loyalty to himself, and expressed his views without leaving any trace. He also summarized the many problems he had thought of. An experienced man is an experienced man, and he does nothing when doing things.

"The idea is good, and changing the organization is inevitable. Since you have become a member of the Northwest Army, of course, you must follow the existing organization of the Northwest Army. What you said is that you have graduates from the Military Academy and let officers enter the Military Academy for training. All matters are decided by you. However, if you are not in this for the time being, this army cannot do without you for the time being, and you still need to stabilize the overall situation. You don't need other unnecessary ideas. Mr. Li has always been open and upright in his work. If there is any change, I will negotiate with you directly." As if seeing through Jiang Bin's thoughts, Wu Feng smiled faintly on the corner of his mouth, but in Jiang Bin's eyes, it seemed that there was a hint of kindness and teasing.

"As for where to go for training and reorganization, I think Northern Luzon should be a good place. If necessary, you can also go to Wusun and Baigala to practice and broaden your horizons. Fighting civil war is not a hero. If you have the ability to pull it out and show your power outside, you can be considered a real hero." Pasturbing Jiang Bin's shoulder, Wu Feng stared at the other party's complicated face meaningfully and said with a smile, "I'll give you half a year, and I hope to see a brand new force in half a year."

I couldn't help but sigh. Jiang Bin felt a complicated mood in his heart. What else could he say? His own tentative actions became a manifestation of narrow temperament. The other party's mind was not comparable to that of ordinary people. A scholar died for his confidant. This sentence was probably the only sentence that could summarize Jiang Bin's mood at this time.

Seeing the look on the other person's face, Wufeng could not understand what the other person was thinking: "Brother Jiang, you don't have to say anything else. Li can tell you openly that Li is not a person who is willing to be inferior to others. His life is only a few decades in just a few days. To leave a scene on the huge and long historical stage, we must seize the opportunity to show ourselves. Now that history has given you and me opportunities, why can't we firmly take this opportunity to keep me in the historical records of the mainland?"

A huge wave in Jiang Bin's heart. Even a long talk overnight Wufeng had never opened his heart to a general who had just surrendered. The other party's trust and attention to him had reached an unprecedented level. Without a second sentence, Jiang Bin, whose face was red, just bowed respectfully: "I wish to serve the Lord!"
