311 adult males, plus 54 adult males from local Aboriginal military households.

There are now a total of 365 adult males in the entire Qingquan Village.

Lu Yuan now expects to recruit more than 100 soldiers to supplement the family Ding team and reorganize it into his first formed regular army.

Moreover, Lu Yuan will not let his army become a half-peasant and half-soldier army, what he wants to have is a professional field army.

This means that nearly one-third of the 365 adult males will have to be completely out of work.

In this way, it will undoubtedly affect the economic production of the entire Qingquan Village.

It also means that Lu Yuan will continue to lose money, and will not increase his income because of Qingquan Village.

But thinking of Jiannu, who was about to enter the customs in less than a year, Lu Yuan would rather lose money and train at a loss now than be plundered by Jiannu when he earned several times his current property.

Therefore, Lu Yuan still insisted on recruiting hundreds of young men as field soldiers.

On this day, the sky was clear, and Lu Yuan summoned three hundred and sixty-five adult males to Qingquan Square, and announced his decision to recruit field soldiers.

According to the Ming system, the military households here were originally Lu Yuan's soldiers.

However, Lu Yuan also knew that these military households were no different from farmers, and if the army expansion wanted to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, it was impossible to force others to serve as soldiers.

Therefore, Lu Yuan directly used the concept of field soldiers here, which means that he did not force these military households to become their own professional soldiers.

"This official recruits field soldiers, that is, family soldiers, but this official doesn't like the title of family ding, this official likes the title of field soldiers, what is a field soldier, that is, dare to fight, not afraid of death, so if you want to be a field soldier of this officer, you have to be not afraid of death, you have to dare to die!"

As soon as Lu Yuan said this, many of the young men present flinched a little, after all, people have the nature of fear of death.

"It is precisely because field soldiers may die on the battlefield that the officer has decided that field recruits should start with two taels of silver per month, and if they are killed or injured in battle, the pension will be thirty times their monthly silver, that is to say, if a recruit is killed or injured in the war and discharged, his family or himself can directly receive sixty taels of pension silver, and the meaning of retirement means quitting the army and no longer serving as a field soldier, in addition, those who have retired from the field soldiers will be given priority to become the leaders of each production group, I will say one more, if they die in battle, they will be regarded as martyrs, Accept the public sacrifice of all the soldiers and civilians under the command of this official, including this official himself! ”

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, many young people were full of excitement again.

After all, it is two taels of silver from the bottom of the month, and you can get a pension of thirty times the moon silver when you die.

Especially for some homeless people who have just arrived here, it is better to be this field soldier than to starve to death outside.

"I am a field soldier, it is better to die in battle than to starve to death! Dare to ask the official, where to sign up? ”

At this time, Xiong Zhiyuan, a strong man who was still shirtless in the snow and had a black flesh face, walked out.

"Brother, I won't go with you to pull fiber, that work is not done by people, tired and tired work can't take care of a full meal, I also want to be this field soldier, if you die in battle and you pass incense, I will also sign up."

Yue Changgui, a strong man with a thin physique but bright eyes, also turned to a person who was similar to him but looked much older.

Here, Lu Yuan also knew that many of these young men didn't know how to read, so he pointed to the colorful clothes next to him: "This is the recruitment office, I want to be a field soldier to sign up here!" ”

In the face of death, life of hunger and cold seems even more terrifying.

What Lu Yuan didn't expect was that at the beginning, there were 334 people who signed up.

This means that there are also people in the original military who want to get a better life and do not hesitate to leave their lives behind.

Of course.

Lu Yuan will not leave all these soldiers who have signed up because he is short of soldiers now, and he still has to do a set of physical examinations and screening.

On the third day of Lu Yuan's recruitment order.

Lu Yuan, Uncle Fei, Shen Guangzu, Caiyi, and a hired resident doctor became the five interviewers, who were responsible for the five examinations of the conscripts: surgery, height and weight, physical fitness, eyesight, and internal medicine.

"Dog, this field soldier still has to be interviewed for a physical examination, isn't it just that he is not afraid of death?"

At this time, Zhou Laojiu, who was standing in the interview venue, asked Zhou Gou'er a little nervously.

"Are you really so good at being a field soldier, you are not afraid of death, there are more people who are not afraid of death, haven't you heard from those new homeless people, as long as you can let them have a full meal, you can sell your life, you go quickly, who let you escape at that time, and now I know that when I come back, the work of the steel plant has been robbed! As long as you become this soldier, you will be able to marry a daughter-in-law like me in less than a year. ”

Zhou Gou'er retreated Zhou Laojiu.

Zhou Laojiu nodded, and then walked forward and lined up.

It didn't take long for the queue to be in charge, and Fan Siyuan, who was in charge of maintaining order, saw Zhou Laojiu coming, so he handed Zhou Laojiu a piece of paper with a table drawn: "Follow me." ”

So, Zhou Laojiu followed Fan Siyuan to Lu Yuan.

Zhou Laojiu was busy kneeling, but was stopped by Lu Yuan: "Do a surgical examination, take off your shirt and pants, and put on your pants." ”

Zhou Laojiu shook his head, he had always been from a poor family, and now the clothes on his body still escaped and were picked up on a starving homeless person, where is the money to tear cloth to make pants to wear.

"Fan Siyuan, you stand in his way!"

Lu Yuan said: "Take it off, it's okay, I'm just going to see if you have a large wound and have been bitten by a dog, as for whether you are a eunuch or not, it doesn't matter." ”

Zhou Laojiu finally took off his clothes and pants, and replied that he had not been bitten by a dog.

"It's okay, remember to marry a daughter-in-law, otherwise it will be a waste of your length."

Lu Yuan said with a smile, and on Zhou Laojiu's form, the surgery item was stamped "passed".

Then, Zhou Laojiu was led to other places by Fan Siyuan in his clothes, Fan Siyuan saw that there were few people queuing up in Caiyi, so he first took Zhou Laojiu to Caiyi, and handed over the form for Zhou Laojiu, not long after, Zhou Laojiu was called by Caiyi to go for an eyesight examination, and the way to check was to draw a wooden board with various vision test symbols according to Caiyi's wooden stick pointing and gesturing.

"Vision five-point-one, five-point-three, pass!"

The colored clothes were also stamped.

In the end, Zhou Laojiu and most of the people who passed in the first four items came to Shen Guangzu, and Shen Guangzu took him and began to run around Qingquan Village, and only after running for about five miles did he screen out one hundred and twenty-six people.

In the end, these 126 people were officially hired by Lu Yuan as field soldiers.

Then, Lu Yuan reintegrated this field soldier recruit and the original Jiading team into an army, and named it the Mighty Army.

Lu Yuan himself served as the army commander.

But below the army level is directly a company, Uncle Fei is the commander of the first company, and Shen Guangzu is the commander of the second company.

In addition, Lu Yuan appointed six of the original family members to the rest of the team leaders or captains, and the remaining three family members formed the Military Justice Department together with Tang Xin, who was unemployed due to Yun Yuan's relocation to Jiangnan and also joined Lu Yuan.

Tang trusted the director of the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the other two served as military judges in the Judge Advocate General's Office.

Lu Yuan also directly implemented the military rank system, except for himself who did not have a military rank because he was not good at directly calling himself generalissimo, Uncle Fei and Shen Guangzu were both captains, while Tang Xin was a lieutenant, and the military judge and the field corps were second lieutenants.

As for the remaining captains, the team directly selects one from the soldiers as a non-commissioned officer of the first class.

The entire field soldier only thinks these are fresh, and naturally they don't know that Lu Yuan directly uses the modern military system, and the reason why Lu Yuan uses the modern military system naturally has his own considerations, in order to distinguish himself from the imperial court, so that these field soldiers are only accustomed to their own internal promotion system and hierarchical order, and no longer have any concept of the official position of the imperial court.

Of course, in order to ensure this, Lu Yuan's internal benefits and treatment distribution in the future will also be based on his own internal hierarchical order.
