In June of the eighth year of orthodoxy, Yushan set.

Since Liu Zi'an took more than 300 captives to Yushanji, Liu Juntao has gone all out to carry out the reorganization of these captives, not only sorting out the names of all the captives into a roster, but also constantly calming people's hearts and preventing some unthinkable captives from doing anything stupid.

Fortunately, nearly two months have passed, and the more than 300 prisoners of the Liu family are very obedient, and they are just running and lining up and other basic exercises under the command of Gao Ran's young and strong people every day, and no one deliberately makes trouble.

At the same time, Liu Zi'an also made every effort to recruit stove households on the side of Yushan Yanchi, and with the support of Yan Hu, he sent a large number of escort teams to Dongping Lake Reedang and Yushan Reedang to spread the news.

With the prestige of the Liu family in the past, as well as Liu Juntao's increasingly famous name, more and more stove households came out of the reeds of Dongping Lake and Yushan Reeds, and rushed to the Yushan Salt Pond with their families.

In just two months, at least more than 1,000 stove households rushed to the Yushan Salt Pond, and thousands of people gathered in the Yushan Salt Pond, which can be said to be overcrowded.

Liu Zi'an was overjoyed to see this, and with Yan Hu's cooperation, he first temporarily settled these thousands of stove households outside the Yushan Salt Pond.

Qingzhuang under Yan Hu urgently built a large number of nests for these stove households to live temporarily, and it was a hot summer at this time, and these more than 1,000 stove households could also live temporarily.

Then, Liu Zi'an announced in public that there were three ways out, allowing these stove households to choose their own future:

In order to dispel the doubts of these stove households, Liu Zi'an announced the price of Liu Juntao's purchase of private salt, that is, ten cents per catty! It was immediately sought after by many stove households.

One way out is to move the family to settle in Yushanji, these stove households will get some ration fields to survive, and the taxes and grains that need to be handed over to the imperial court will also be borne by Liu Juntao, but in exchange, these stove households will have to send a young man from their families to join the Yushan Ji Guard.

There is also a way out, which is to move the family to Ansan Town, these stove households have no ration fields, but Liu Juntao will assign some work to these stove households in the town, and the family also needs to send a young man to join the Yushan Guard.

After listening, the more than 1,000 households present immediately discussed, and all of them began to discuss in a low voice with their families, discussing where their families were going to beg for a living.

Seeing this, Liu Zi'an did not rush to urge everyone to make a choice, but arranged for the escort team Qingzhuang to set up a registration desk at the gate of Yushan Yanchi, and all the stove households who made a choice must register here, and then they will be taken aside by the escort team Qingzhuang to wait for distribution.

It didn't take long for these stove owners to make their own choice.

Those who are willing to stay and boil private salt will be brought into the Yushan salt pond on the spot to settle down, and those who want to move to Yushanji and Ansan Town will need to wait for a few days until the two guards stationed in the two places move in to collect people, and these stove households can move away with their families.

Four days have passed, and more than 1,000 stove households have made their own choices one after another, about 300 stove households have decided to stay in Yushan Yanchi, more than 450 households have chosen to go to Yushan Market, and the remaining 200 stove households want to move to Ansan Town.

Liu Zian also asked the young men of the escort team to register one by one and record the roster for future reference.

Within two days, Yushanji and Ansan Town each sent a team of dozens of young people to take away all the stove households who were willing to move away, and then the outside of Yushan Salt Pond suddenly quieted down, and the hustle and bustle before was gone.

After Liu Juntao received the roster sent by Liu Zi'an, he ordered Zhang Xiaojun, who was stationed in Anshan Town, to immediately start the work of recruiting young people, and within ten days, all the young people who were recruited were sent to Yushanji for training.

Gao Ran, who stayed in Yushanji, also began to recruit young people, and planned to recruit all the young people within ten days.

Ten days later, Gao Ran recruited a total of 450 young men after screening, Zhang Xiaojun also sent 200 young heroes, plus 350 captives of the Liu family, Liu Juntao recruited a total of 1,000 new forces.

In the two months of recruiting stove households, Liu Juntao also did another thing, that is, to comprehensively expand the guard camp in Yushan Ji, increase some of the venues and equipment needed for recruit training, and make an overall plan for the originally somewhat messy houses.

This time, Liu Juntao saw that there were 1,000 new young people, so he threw a drill outline he had compiled to Gao Ran, and asked him to practice the 1,000 newly recruited young men according to the content.

"According to my syllabus, in a month and a half to two months, these new young people will be able to practice. You have to remember that you must be strict in your practice, and you must not be perfunctory! ”

Gao Ran nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I will definitely train these newcomers well!" ”

Liu Juntao looked at the smile on Gao Ran's face, and was sure that in the next two months, these 1,000 newly recruited young men would definitely have a very "fulfilling" life!

On this day, outside the escort camp, a thousand newly recruited strong men were gathering in the open space outside, and under the supervision of more than 100 young guards of the escort, they lined up in five long lines in an orderly manner, registering one by one in order.

"Name, age, who is in the family?"

"Is it the stove household or the Liu family?"

"But what are your strengths?"

Five young men of the escort team wearing clothes similar to mandarin duck battle jackets sat at the gate of the camp, lined up, and interrogated the young men who came in line one by one like a pass, and asked questions to the young men who lined up in front of the table.

Although these 1,000 young men knew that the Yushan Guards had hard training and strict discipline, and that their lives would be in danger at any time once they started a fight with other forces, all the young men who were recruited did not have any complaints.

After all, when recruiting, the Yushanji Escort Team had already made it clear in advance that as long as they joined the Escort Team, they would have a salary, and their own family members could also earn a stable livelihood in Yushanji, Yushan Yanchi and Ansan Town.

Even if he is disabled or killed one day, the escort team will issue a generous pension and settle his family, and this treatment is even better than that of ordinary officers and soldiers! Who wouldn't?

Therefore, the whole recruitment and registration process went smoothly and there were no accidents. All the young men were also very obedient, for fear that they would be rejected by the Yushan Guards.

"Liu Youcai, nineteen years old, Liu family, no special ......"

"Liu Youfu, eighteen years old, is also the Liu family, his younger brother, specialty? No! ……”

"Chang Hongdao, twenty-five years old, the stove household in Dongping Lake, does it count if you see that the military master has used firearms?"

"Zhou Zongsheng, thirty-three years old, a stove household in the reeds of Yushan, specialty? I can ride a horse. ”

"Click".

Under a seal with the word "pass" printed on it, the five young men of the escort in charge of registration registered the names of one newcomer after another and stamped them. Then, he handed over the nameplate pendant with the name of the newlyweds written on it, and said, "This is your identification, wear it around your neck and keep it!" ”

Liu Youfu and Liu Youcai brothers walked into the escort camp after registration, and Zhou Zongsheng and Chang Hongdao also held their nameplates tightly and walked in in the direction of the surging crowd.

After a few people came in, they seemed to have found some novelty in the general matter, they all looked around, only to see row after row of rooms neatly arranged in the courtyard, which seemed to be neatly uniform, and there was a vast open space in the center of the courtyard, and on the side were all kinds of novelty instruments such as stone locks and horizontal bars.

At this time, several people only heard someone standing on a high place in front of them shouting loudly: "All newcomers pay attention to their names, and those who are called immediately report to the door of the corresponding room!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Youfu and Liu Youcai heard someone in front of them shouting their names, and the two did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly ran over to the sound, only to see that the corresponding numbers were written on the walls of each row of houses, and the two hurriedly looked for them one by one.

When they arrived, the two brothers saw that there were two guards at the door of the room who were handing out items, one was handing out clothes, and the other was handing out some other odd and endowed items.

Liu Youfu took a closer look and saw that the uniforms being distributed were almost identical to those worn by the young men of the escort team, the only difference was that the word "new" was embroidered on the right arm of the uniform.

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the two, the guard team who issued the uniforms said: "As long as you pass the escort training, you can remove the mark on your right arm, otherwise, you can go back where you came from, and my Yushan guard team should not coax people!" ”

Liu Youfu and Liu Youcai nodded their heads again and again when they heard this, and then each picked up their own coats and other things and went into the room, as if they were afraid that the two guards would regret it.

"Zhou Zongsheng! Chang Hongdao! Row B T-room! ”

Zhou Zongsheng and Chang Hongdao are both from the stove household, and since they enlisted in the Yushan Guard, the two have come together together, and today the two of them have registered together and walked in.

At this time, the two suddenly heard their names shouted in front of them, so they hurriedly ran over with their companions.

When they got closer, a young man from the escort team gave the two of them a number of clothes, Zhou Zongsheng and Chang Hongdao were overjoyed to see it, and they were about to stroke it carefully, but they saw another young man of the guard next to him hand over a bunch of bits and pieces.

Zhou Zongsheng took a closer look, and saw that the bits and pieces handed over by the escort Qingzhuang were very rich, such as kettles, leggings, belts, blankets, two pairs of cloth shoes, medicine bags, etc., all of which were finely crafted, and it can be said that some bits and pieces that ordinary people can think of have already been included in these things!

Zhou Zongsheng was shocked when he saw it, and said secretly: "My God! There are so many things that everyone has, so how much money does it cost! Is there nowhere to spend money on the escort team? ”

Chang Hongdao next to him took the things with an incredible expression, and whispered to Zhou Zongsheng: "Brother Zhou, even the battalions of the imperial court won't send so many good things, right?" Are we dreaming? ”

"You two don't mumble, get in! Don't move around without a command! ”

Zhou Zongsheng and Chang Hongdao didn't dare to say anything when they heard this, and like Liu Youfu and Liu Youcai, they ran into the room with their own clothes and things, as if they were worried that the young guards would take things back.

And the rest of the newly recruited young men were also the same as Liu Youfu's brothers, Zhou Zongsheng, and Chang Hongdao, who walked into the escort camp with full curiosity and were assigned to their respective rooms one by one.

That night, Liu Juntao ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep to hold a feast, entertained the 1,000 newly recruited young men, and gave each of them a bowl of wine.

All the young men were beaming, and they were all glad about their decision to join the Yushan Guard.

But what everyone didn't expect was that tonight was the last good day for everyone.

On the young faces of Gao Ran's guards, they were all full of expressions of watching jokes.

"These newcomers eat and drink well, and when you start practicing, you will know what it means to be miserable!"
