Chapter 1464: Jin Wencheng (5)
As for whether he will die after becoming a soldier?
For them who will be killed by the fierce beast snake mountain bandits at any time, this is not a problem worth considering at all, they didn't know how much they wanted to be soldiers before, but unfortunately the number of places in the fifth wing is limited, and they can't join the army at all, so they can only give up, how can they let go of this good opportunity now?
And they have a very good impression of this Jinwen City Guard, and a feeling of their own family appeared when they heard this name, so they didn't have to think about it, and they didn't say anything about signing up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The gate of the former county magistrate's mansion can be lively, and the dense crowd surrounds this place. In addition to the farmers who had come back from the fields outside the city, there were also hunters who had just returned from the mountains after receiving the news, and of course, there were also men who worked for the rich families in the city.
In addition to these qualified strong men, there are also a large number of people in the city who either come with their families or watch the excitement, which suddenly makes this place full of people and noisy.
Such a scene was a piece of cake for Zhao Hu's personal guards, who had recruited soldiers with Zhao Hu in the Southeast Peninsula, and several personal guards threw their whips, bluffing the crowd and shouting: "Sign up for me, come one by one!" Otherwise, the whip will not be merciful! ”
was frightened like this, and the strong men who were originally in a mess immediately obediently obeyed the order.
Seeing that it was quiet, dozens of guards immediately rushed into the crowd and ordered these strong men to line up, while isolating the crowd from the strong men. The guards behind the several tables lined up at the gate also picked up pen and ink, laid out paper, and prepared to compile the roster.
Originally, the guards wanted to stop the strong men who were obviously more than twenty-five years old, but when they saw that at least five of the ten strong men were over twenty-five years old, they immediately turned a blind eye, and after recording the name and family situation, they let the person in.
Seeing such an easy selection, the people outside couldn't help but be ready to move, but after a few whips, order stabilized again.
Soon after, Zhao Hu brought people to the recruitment site.
Seeing Zhao Hu arrive, the guards at the door immediately shouted: "Today's recruitment is temporarily over, please be early tomorrow." After saying that, he ignored the noise of the people and closed the door.
Seeing that the gate was closed, the strong men in the school field were a little commotion, and the guards shook their whips a few times and shouted: "Silence! The sir! ”
As soon as the strong men heard the term chief, they immediately closed their mouths and focused their eyes on Zhao Hu.
At this time, the guards who had already sorted out the roster stepped forward to report: "My lord, the number of strong men who have come to sign up this time has reached 3,512. Of them were 2,134 farmers, 782 hunters, and 596 men, all over eighteen years of age, but half of them were over twenty-five years of age. Looking at the situation outside the door, I am afraid that more than 3,000 people can be recruited. ”
Zhao Hu was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Zhou Wen and Sun Jie.
Zhao Huke knew very well that without the instructions of these two guys, the guards would not have advocated changing their orders without authorization.
Seeing Zhao Hu turn his head, Zhou Wen said with merit: "My lord, I know that there will not be many young people in Jin Wencheng, if it is not specially told to pay attention to them, even if the whole city is recruited, it may be less than the number of people in a wing." ”
Sun Jie, who was originally fine, was immediately startled when he heard this, and wanted to pull Zhou Wen's sleeve, but when he saw Zhao Hu's eyes here, he didn't dare to move, and secretly complained in his heart.
Zhao Hu found that Zhou Wen hadn't realized his mistake at all, sighed, turned around and said to the guards: "Carefully check the age of the strong man, if you are not under eighteen years old and more than twenty-five years old, let them step aside."
Everyone is a neighborhood, and most of them know each other, so when they saw that people between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five were left in the middle of the school field, and those who were over twenty-five years old were driven to the corner, the strong men immediately became noisy, they didn't want to lose such a job with food and shelter and a monthly salary.
"My lord, I shoot with a bow and shoot unequaled, and I say that I will never shoot a bird's body if I shoot a bird's eye, and I am definitely a candidate for a sharpshooter!" A voice suddenly shouted.
As soon as these words came out, these strong men who were over twenty-five years old immediately began to sell themselves: "My lord, I have great strength, I can cut off the head of a wild boar with one knife, you want me!" ”、
"Want me! I eat less, but I have a lot of strength! It's definitely hard work! ”
If it weren't for the fact that these people didn't dare to attack the guards, I'm afraid they would have besieged Zhao Hutuan.
Seeing the surging emotions of the crowd, Zhou Wen's face changed, and the chaotic scene in front of him was a trouble he had made.
"Rest easy, everybody." As soon as Zhao Hu, the officer, spoke, he didn't need to be scolded by the guards, and the strong men who were in a mess quieted down.
Zhao Hu said: "Although the proclamation has made it clear that only strong men between the ages of 18 and 25 will be recruited, we cannot ignore your enthusiasm to join the army.
"In this way, all the strong men over the age of twenty-five are assigned to the auxiliary team, except that the salary is less than half of that of the escort team, and the other treatment is the same, if the auxiliary soldier performs well, he can be promoted to the escort team. If you don't want to, then you can leave. ”
Auxiliaries? None of the people present had heard of this kind of soldier, and some of the nimble-minded, especially the strong men from the guys, saw that the people around them were puzzled, and couldn't help but shout like a show-off: "I don't understand this? The salary of the auxiliary soldiers is only half of that of the escort team, which means that the auxiliary soldiers are short-term workers, and the escort team is long-term workers! ”
When the strong men heard it, they immediately understood, although they were only short-term workers, they also received the salary of the army, so how could they be regarded as joining the army.
Thinking that he was also a soldier, he immediately didn't care if he was an auxiliary soldier or not. Anyway, the adult said that as long as they behave well, the auxiliaries can still become escorts.
With those eighteen-year-old boys, where are the opponents of these prime-aged people? With a little performance, you can snatch their place and let them go as auxiliaries. None of the strong men who have made a decision in their hearts have expressed their intention to leave.
Zhao Hu was stunned, he just wanted them to serve as logistics officers, after all, they were recruited anyway, and it was not good to be included in the escort team, and it was not good to let them go.
After all, in addition to training, the regular troops also have to cooperate with the logistics troops to do some work such as setting up barracks and cleaning camps.
As for why they are not called logistics troops, it is because logistics troops are in the regular establishment. It's just that Zhao Hu didn't expect that these strong men would actually use short-term and long-term workers to help people explain.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, yes, why not set up a special auxiliary army to help the combat troops work? Although the logistics troops are sufficient to take care of the supply problems within the establishment, other trivial matters require the cooperation of the combat troops, such as setting up camps, cleaning up the battlefield, etc., which will keep all the troops busy.
If a group of auxiliaries equal in number to the combat unit can fight with the team, the formation of camps and the cleaning of the battlefield can be handed over to the auxiliaries for execution, and the combat troops can concentrate on vigilance, so that there is no fear that the troops will be counterattacked by the enemy when they are cut off the ranks.
Moreover, with the help of this group of auxiliaries, the combat troops can also reduce their burden, and the trophies and wounded can be handed over to the auxiliary soldiers to take care of, and the auxiliary soldiers can also be put on guard in peacetime, and the combat units can rest with peace of mind, so that the combat effectiveness will at least increase several times.
Seeing that Zhao Hu was suddenly stunned, Sun Jie pulled Zhao Hu's sleeve and reminded him carefully: "My lord, everyone is waiting for you to lecture." ”
Zhao Hu, who came to his senses, glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Now you will obey the orders of my personal guards." With a wave of his hand, the guards immediately shouted according to the roster, this work is very familiar to the guards, it is just to replace the decimal establishment of the southeast peninsula with the five-five establishment of the empire.
In a short time, more than 1,500 strong men between the ages of 18 and 25 were divided into 12 squadrons, and 12 guards were automatically recruited to become squadron leaders.
As is customary, these squadrons have a logistics force under the direct supervision of the squadron leader. The remaining nearly two thousand strong men over the age of twenty-five were divided into twenty centurions, and the twenty guards automatically became centurions.
Then these squadron leaders and centurions took their subordinates to occupy a place in the school field and began to select the internal captains, in fact, this selection is very simple, one team, five people hand-to-hand, the winner is the captain, and then a small team of five captains fights hand-to-hand, and the winner is the team leader.
At the beginning, when they heard the order of the chief of the guard, all the strong men were stunned, wasn't the official position in the army appointed by the boss? Why do you want these people to fight for it on their own? Everyone is a neighbor or even a relative, where can we do it?
However, in the personal guard officer, he said: "In addition to the basic salary, there is also a salary for the position, and in any case, it is also an officer." The words immediately made the six relatives of the strong man with glowing eyes disown.
As for the auxiliaries, it was relatively simple, and only the ten commanders were selected, but due to the large number of competitors, most of the winners had blue noses and swollen faces.
After a hard fight, the captains and squad leaders were quickly selected, and after these captains and squad leaders joined, they immediately began to reprimand their subordinates like the squadron leader, and the originally chaotic strong men suddenly became a bit of an army.
Looking at the troops, Zhao Hu couldn't help but nod and smiled: "Very good, then I will pay you a salary now." The guard carrying the box behind him immediately opened the box, and the yellow color immediately reflected everyone's faces yellow.
The strong man, who couldn't help cheering when he heard the salary, was immediately whipped with a horsewhip by his personal guard boss.
