Chapter 118 Zhou Shan's Persuasion

After Wu Fan mastered the skill of archery, his archery level has changed qualitatively. Moreover, every time he shoots an arrow, he can increase his proficiency a little bit. The proficiency required to upgrade from elementary to intermediate is not very high. Wu Fan believes that with the practice in reality, he should be able to improve his archery level to intermediate before the team sets out.

At that time, his archery level will be qualitatively improved again.

After shooting ten groups of arrows, Zhou Shan did not let Wu Fan continue, but took him to an open space behind the camp, where a horse was lowering its head and snorting.

"Today I will teach you how to ride a horse." Zhou Shan took Wu Fan to the horse and said.

"Ride a horse?" Wu Fan was surprised.

You know, in this era of cold weapons, cavalry is a luxury and a killer. Especially in the wild, infantry teams often suffer heavy casualties when encountering such mobile and flexible cavalry teams.

Cavalry can not only charge into battle, but also detect intelligence, etc. It can be said that the role of cavalry on the battlefield is greater than that of modern tanks.

However, the cost of raising a cavalry is not low. The cost of raising a light cavalry may be enough to raise three or four ordinary infantrymen, and if it is a heavy cavalry, the cost will be even more terrifying. The cost of raising a heavy cavalry is enough to raise more than ten ordinary infantrymen.

However, because of the importance of cavalry, even if it is known that the cost of raising cavalry is very high, it is still necessary to raise them, but the number of them will not be too large, which leads to few soldiers who can ride horses, and even fewer who can fight on horseback.

Wu Fan did not expect that Zhou Shan could actually ride a horse, and it seems that it is not as simple as riding a horse, but a real cavalryman.

How could a person with a good archery level and who can ride a horse fall here and serve as the captain of these logistics soldiers? Isn't this a waste of talent?

"Captain, why were you transferred here?" Wu Fan couldn't help asking: "I don't mean to look down on you, but with your ability, I don't think you should be transferred to our logistics team."

"Curious?" Zhou Shan was not angry, and there was still a smile on his face.

"Yeah." Wu Fan nodded.

"I just offended some people." Zhou Shan said: "Actually, it's not bad here. Those people look down on this place and don't pay attention to you miscellaneous troops. I am here, and no one will care what I want to do."

Although Zhou Shan said it easily, even with a smile, Wu Fan saw the unwillingness in his eyes.

Wu Fan can understand Zhou Shan's unwillingness. Any ambitious person will not be willing to stay in a miscellaneous army like theirs. After all, their team will be disbanded at any time. Even Niu Er knows that if he wants to make achievements and be appointed as a minister, he can only go to the regular army.

And Zhou Shan's strength is obviously very strong, not comparable to the current Niu Er, so how can he be willing to stay here?

However, it seems that he has offended some powerful people, so he can only continue to stay here.

"I see that you are quite capable and talented in archery. How about it? Have you ever thought about joining the regular army and becoming a real soldier? Although I was transferred here, I still have some connections. It is not difficult to arrange for you to join the regular army." Zhou Shan asked Wu Fan.

Zhou Shan was really optimistic about Wu Fan, so he didn't want Wu Fan to bury his talent in this ragtag army. Wu Fan should join the regular army, where he can show his talent.

Originally, Zhou Shan thought that Wu Fan would be very happy after hearing what he said. After all, the treatment here is completely different from that in the regular army. In the regular army, the equipment is better, the food and salary are higher, and it is easier to get promoted. Here, he can only be a logistics soldier.

However, who knew that after Wu Fan heard his words, he not only did not have a happy expression, but waved his hand in panic and refused: "No, I am not interested in joining the army. If it were not for some special reason this time, I would not come here to serve."

Just kidding, serving in this ragtag army for three months a year would take ten years, Wu Fan could not accept it. Once he became a regular soldier, it would be a lifetime thing. He was a professional soldier. He could not leave the military system until he could not move his feet or swing his sword. How could Wu Fan be willing?

He was still thinking about going back to farm. Farming makes money, isn't it good?

Zhou Shan, who was still smiling, suddenly frowned and said, "Isn't it good to be a soldier?"

"Sir, I am not interested in this. I don't like the various rules and constraints in the barracks. I like freedom." Wu Fan explained.

"Freedom? Where is freedom in this world? Without strength and status, it is difficult for you to survive in this world. Even if you can barely survive, there will be many troubles." Zhou Shan said.

Wu Fan thought of Niu Er and others. They all lived very hard, and even regarded being a soldier as their only way out.

However, Wu Fan's status in this world has always been to assist his development in reality. As for how he lives in this world, he doesn't care much. Anyway, his roots are not here, and he just wants to use the resources here.

"You like money very much?" Zhou Shan seemed to see what Wu Fan was thinking.

"Yes, who doesn't like money?" Wu Fan did not deny it.

"Yes, everyone likes money." Zhou Shan said, "But you don't have enough status. No matter how much money you make, you don't have the ability to keep them. Those big shots can confiscate your home with just one word." If the clan is wiped out, all your accumulation will be taken away by them, and even your life will not be saved. In this case, no matter how much money you have, what can you do? "

Wu Fan was silent for a while. Although this world is not his foundation, he still needs to develop here in order to be able to feed his real life. And if he can't even guarantee basic rights and interests here, then what else can he do? How to feed back reality?

Wu Fan thought about the things he found on the mountain behind Hermit Village. Whether it was metal walls, rare creatures in the forest, or precious wood, everything was worth a fortune. If others knew about it, he would Are you able to keep those things?

Apparently not.

"If you want to improve your status, you have only two ways to take the imperial examination and join the army. Do you think you are good at studying and a top scholar?" Zhou Shan continued.
