Jiaozhou

After Li Dazhui and Yu Mingjun met, they had a long talk. Obviously, Yu Mingjun persuaded Li Dazhui.

After subduing Li Da Hammer, the next thing is to bring the families of those pirates on Hammer Island to the barracks, on the one hand, to reassure these pirates. Let them know that he will do what he says when he meets Mingjun, and he will never let his family and children starve and freeze. It's much better to live in Jiaozhou than on an island.

On the other hand, this can be regarded as a kind of restraint on the pirates by Yu Mingjun, and these family members are considered hostages. If the good pirates dared to rebel, their families would not be able to survive any longer.

"As long as we are loyal to the Pingbei Army, we don't have to fear the safety of our families. I hope Yu Mingjun won't let us be cannon fodder. ”

Li Dazhui landed on the deck of the [Zhenyuan], he was quite surprised by the [Zhenyuan], he was sure that he had never seen such a magical ship in the first half of his life, even the giant ship of foreign devils he had seen could not be compared to the [Zhenyuan]. He naturally understood what it meant to send his family members on the island to the barracks, and they would be controlled.

Li Dazhui looked at Hammer Island, which was getting farther and farther away, and felt a little reluctant in his heart, after all, he had lived on this island for so many years. There is a deep affection. Of course, Yu Mingjun did not plan to give up this small island, and the operation of this island over the years has made this island relatively perfect in all aspects, so Yu Mingjun plans to establish a naval base on this island. As a frontier to protect this sea area. It was named [Hammer Island Naval Army Base].

Except for Li Dazhui, who was appointed as the commander of the Nuhai Guard, no one else held an official position. Due to the particularity of the navy, the current recruit camp does not undertake the training task of naval recruits, so these pirates do not need to go to the recruit camp to report and conduct training for a period of time. But since they had no merit, none of them were given military ranks.

As for the guard, it is not Li Dazhui's words, although he is unwilling, he also knows that he is powerless to resist at all. They can only give in. For the sake of his family's better life, he doesn't mind charging ahead.

After that, Yu Mingjun screened those pirates and selected some people with high physical fitness and quality to serve as scouts, after all, they know more about this sea area, and it is just right to serve as scouts. One of the one-eyed dragons was successfully selected as a member of the scout team.

Due to the formation of a new guard, there is a shortage of officers and soldiers. Yu Mingjun transferred Zhang Wei to Nu Haiwei as the captain of the scout brigade. At this moment, Zhang Wei has completely become the superior of the one-eyed dragon.

The next day, Zhang Wei gathered Nu Haiwei's scout brigade, and now Nu Haiwei's soldiers and horses have not been fully assembled, adding up to more than 200 soldiers and horses from Hammer Island and the temporary transfer of soldiers and horses from the navy are only 2,000 people, and there are still 3,000 places short.

The scout brigade should have been 200 people according to the normal establishment, but at the moment it was less than 100 people. There were less than two squadrons in number.

Zhang Wei looked at the scout brigade in a straight line on the battlefield, strolling around one by one. After all, these are his soldiers, and they will be his comrades in life and death in the future.

When he walked to the one-eyed dragon's side, Zhang Wei deliberately paused, and the one-eyed dragon's heart tightened. Said secretly: "Sure enough, it's really a cautious guy, didn't he just take a few dollars from you, as for it, what about the Northern Army, shouldn't I be able to help this poor man?" Hmph, no matter what, you can't be subjugated by him anyway, Lao Tzu is a dignified man, the elite of Hammer Island, you must keep your fan! ”

Zhang Wei looked at the nervous appearance of the one-eyed dragon and wanted to laugh, but immediately held back. Looking at him with a little interest, his only eye, which was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, was burning with fire, but he didn't dare to move. The heart blossomed.

Zhang Wei didn't come to fix him, in fact, he didn't care about the few silver coins he gave to the one-eyed dragon before, because those silver coins were given to him by Bai Menghu to make him move around. It's not his money, and now Bai Menghu hasn't said that he wants the money back, how dare he ask for it back alone?

He said before that this one-eyed dragon has a bad personality, and if he enters the Pingbei army, there will be disputes, and this time he will smooth out his edges and corners.

After all, Jiaozhou is close to the sea, so Yu Mingjun asked Liu Xia for his life to recruit a navy in the Jiaozhou area. In the end, Liu Xia agreed, but Liu Xia set up a new battalion for the Laizhou Navy in Laizhou Mansion. And a battalion commander of Yang Wuxiao was sent out from the pro-guard brigade. However, generally the level of this recruit battalion is one level higher than that of this ordinary battalion, so after this battalion commander arrived at the Laizhou Navy Recruit Battalion, it became Yang Yong's level.

At the same time, Liu Xia transferred several military divisions from the Military Division to serve as ideological guides. Thus a third boot battalion was established.

The navy has established new barracks, and basically will not draw manpower from other armies to join the navy in the future. All the sailors will be out of the Laizhou Navy recruit camp.

Soon, Yu Mingjun entrusted the Laizhou New Barracks to issue a recruitment order, and began to gather people with better water skills and courage in Dengzhou Mansion, Laizhou Mansion, and Qingzhou Mansion. Although the battalion commander of the recruit battalion is not at the level of Yang Yongxiao, and Yu Mingjun is a Yue cavalry general, Yu Mingjun is not qualified to take care of the recruit battalion. The recruit battalion is directly under the unified management of the Logistics Department and does not belong to the vassals of any of the regiments. The commanders of each regiment are not qualified to recruit troops, and all soldiers need to be replenished from the new barracks.

If the commander of any legion dares to recruit soldiers privately, I am afraid that it will be regarded as a rebellion.

Although Shandong has just been liberated by Liu Xia, the people's support for it is no less than that of Shaanxi and other places. After the local officials posted the recruitment order on the wall, the people who came and went in the city rushed to see it.

"It's time to recruit!" I don't know who shouted, and suddenly many people were excited.

Although Shandong has now been pacified, and most of the peasants have been allocated some land, there are still many people who cannot get land, and there are still some people who do not want to do farmland fishing for the rest of their lives and want to do a career. What's more, Liu Xia's reputation for loving the people and soldiers is not something to be said casually. As a result, many people began to sign up.

According to the quota set by the Logistics Department, the new battalion will only recruit 5,000 people, of which 3,000 will be used as a crash battalion for rapid training, and then directly put into the army. The remaining 2,000 men will be trained as normal training, and they will be given additional technical instruction in the operation and repair of ships, and when the time comes, they will have a higher rank.

It is not difficult to elect 5,000 people on the basis of one million people in these three large prefectures. The treatment of the Pingbei Army is not ungenerous, and even some wealthy businessmen now even want to send one of their children to the armament academy to become an officer, so that they can get closer to the army in the future.

These have sharp eyes and sharp noses. The businessmen have already been able to foresee that the Pingbei Army led by Liu Xia will definitely be able to dominate the world, so at this moment, when the Pingbei Army is relatively difficult, they will definitely be able to make a lot of money when the market closes.

Just like the Jin merchants in Shanxi before, they believed that Nurhachi Emperor Taiji and others could dominate the world, so they secretly sold grain and weapons to the Qing army. Even send intelligence. They thought that the Qing army would be able to dominate the world, and the result was just as they expected, if it weren't for Liu Xia's outcropping, the world would have been shattered by the Tartars' iron riding tower. The hair on the head of the Han people has long been braided with a pig's tail.

5,000 soldiers and horses were recruited, and 43,000 people signed up, so the new barracks screened several times before 5,000 people were determined. This made many people who came to participate in the competition feel unwilling and even dissatisfied. Why did only 5,000 people be recruited, and some more could have been recruited, but no one dared to make trouble on the spot, after all, the soldiers standing next to them were soldiers with muskets.

Immediately, the new barracks posted a notice again, each recruitment is according to the number of places given by the military division, although this time the recruitment is finished, but the navy will expand again in the near future, please go home and continue training, there will definitely be a chance for you to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

At this point, the soldiers gathered outside the new barracks dispersed.
