Not only He Renlong, but even Gao Jie and others beside him were all wide-eyed, looking extremely shocked.

Let the thieves kill each other, and leave 800 people for 8,000 people, which is equivalent to 1 out of 10, this method of recruiting thieves is simply unheard of.

He Renlong was born as a martial artist in Wanli years, starting step by step from a low-level officer, repeatedly breaking thieves, and thinking that he also went south and north, but such a way of appeasement as Zhu Youhua was indeed the first time he saw it.

Even he thought it was crazy to do this, but when he thought about it, it was indeed feasible.

These 8,000 thieves, if they are not well restrained, are a big local scourge, and if they are all killed, it will inevitably become the so-called "killing the good and making meritorious contributions", and they will be punished.

Zhu Youhua's approach not only solved the problem that the number of people could not be properly settled, but also eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled among the thieves with low combat effectiveness, leaving the real elite.

After these thieves enter the official army, if they are used well, they may be more effective than the official army of the headquarters, after all, there are more ** in the official army now, and most of them have low combat effectiveness.

He Renlong, who was just curious, saw this situation, and immediately had respect for Zhu Youhua, and stood in a circle surrounded by the soldiers of the Nanyang camp and didn't say a word until he saw the end.

Yu Gaojie and the others, seeing that the boss did not speak, did not dare to trespass, and they all stared intently at the fight of the thieves inside.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer thieves in the field, and it was not until there were only a few hundred people left that Zhu Youhua nodded to the yellow tiger in the audience.

The latter understood, raised his hand, and shouted: "Raise the gun! ”

After a while, he shouted violently: "Release!" ”

Suddenly, the explosions like fried beans sounded in their ears one after another, and the thieves who were killing the rising up stopped their knives and guns one after another, and looked around blankly.

It was only then that they really reacted.

"The rest of you are all from the Nanyang Camp now, why don't you thank the prince!?" Huang Hu shouted loudly.

He knew that in that situation, unless he directly woke up with a bird gun, it would not have any effect on these red-eyed thieves at all.

If a counterattack is caused, unnecessary casualties are more likely.

There was silence for a while, and the thieves seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and stood there in a daze, looking at the corpses everywhere.

Their reaction made the officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Battalion who were waiting around them nervous, and a few shouts came out, and they hurriedly raised their bird guns and aimed them at the thieves in the field.

Suddenly, a bloodstained thief knelt down suddenly, clasped his fists and said loudly: "The villain thanked the prince for not killing!" ”

"Thank you for not killing!"

Zhu Youhua nodded on the stage, looked at the first person to speak, and said, "From now on, you will wash away the humiliation of being a thief in the past and become a member of the Nanyang camp." ”

"If you want your descendants to be blessed by the shadows, you have to do more for this king and for the Ming Dynasty! Meritorious service will be rewarded, and violations will be punished, this is the iron law of Nanyang Camp! ”

"You are no longer thieves, you are soldiers, soldiers of the people!"

When the words landed, the officers and soldiers of the surrounding Nanyang Battalion also put down their weapons, and one by one large boxes were moved to their eyes and distributed to the remaining more than 800 people in the field.

In the box, it was loaded with the standard cloth armor and military uniforms of the Nanyang battalion, and of course, shiny knives and guns.

Seeing that Zhu Youhua had collected hundreds of thieves without blood, He Renlong was a little envious.

In the past, when he expanded the army by himself, he did not distinguish between good and bad, and filled the captured and captured people into the army, and then slowly screened them.

This is also the method of expanding the army of most of the officials and troops at this time, when the times are troubled, and the imperial court has no military salary, who is willing to be this big soldier.

Therefore, we can only grasp it by force, although this can quickly expand the army, but it will inevitably reduce the quality of the soldiers, He Renlong has often suffered defeats in recent years, and there are also reasons why the new soldiers are not useful.

The most telling thing is the so-called left battalion of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Speaking of Zuo Liangyu, even He Renlong is very jealous, without it, it is because there are too many soldiers under this merchant.

To say that 500,000 or 600,000 is bragging, but there are still 200,000 or 300,000.

It is said that every time the left battalion conducts training, it has to cover the sky with flags, and the number of soldiers all over the mountains and fields is more than the number of local people.

But with such a large number of people, except for facing Zhang Xianzhong, Zuo Liangyu has hardly won any battles, and the reason is naturally that the quality of the soldiers is too low.

Every time there is a battle, once the family in front can't support it, the huge army in the rear will all become decorations and will collapse in an instant.

This situation is not unheard of.

When fighting Luoyang, Tian Jianxiu had because of the fear and retreat of the homeless people in front, which caused the old battalion that was pressing the formation behind to rush up, so he delayed the fighter plane, and Zhu Youhua seized the opportunity to flood the Seventh Army.

Of these more than 800 people, He Renlong can see that every one of them is a good hand, and in his own camp, at least they are all in the quality of the family.

To be honest, He Renlong was a little envious and a little afraid.

As far as Zhu Youhua's method of recruiting troops is concerned, today he can do 8,000 and stay 800, and tomorrow he will be able to do even more excessively.

On the one hand, He Renlong was already afraid of this royal child.

Too ruthless, this man.

Ordinary people call him He Ren Long He crazy man, if he is a madman, then what is this Zhu Youhua, this is no longer something that a madman can describe.

With a little jealousy, He Renlong stepped forward and said: "He Renlong, the chief soldier of Shaanxi, has seen the prince of Nanyang. ”

"Why is Mr. He here?" Zhu Youhua squinted, looking a little surprised.

In fact, Zhu Youhua had seen He Renlong a long time ago, and the reason why he had ignored it was because he wanted to extinguish his arrogance.

Since Sun Chuanting entered, this He Renlong no longer listens to people's moderation, Yang Sichang can't control him, and Fu Zonglong can't either.

Since learning Zuo Liangyu intentionally or unintentionally, He Renlong seems to have tasted the sweetness, this time he came to Nanyang directly without saying hello, and he would not think of anything good with his ass.

If this king didn't give him some color to see, he really thought that everyone was so easy to pinch.

He Renlong laughed when he heard this, "The last general heard that the prince defeated the thieves in Luoyang, so let's take a look." ”

"The news of the general army of Nahe is a little blocked, it has been some time since the king defeated the thieves, and now the thieves have run away, how can I say this." Zhu Youhua said with a smile.

Invisible pretending is the most deadly, although He Renlong knows that this product is pretending, but he really can't say it.

After all, people have capital, first retreat Li Zicheng and then retire Zhang Xianzhong, how can ordinary people have this ability, put aside him to congratulate people and dragons?

He Renlong himself knows how many catties and taels he has, and if he wants to come by himself, it is really enough!

"Then I will congratulate the prince, congratulate the prince." He Renlong smiled weirdly.

Zhu Youhua naturally knew that this product was digging a pit for himself, so he sneered: "What is General He's congratulating, repelling Zhang Xianzhong, it is Yang Zhenshou's Nanyang battalion meritorious service, what does it have to do with this king?" ”

Seeing that Zhu Youhua pushed all the things on the head of Yang Feng, the commander of Nanyang Guard, He Renlong didn't have anything to say, after all, this Nanyang battalion's fanfare training would definitely not be under the banner of Nanyang Palace.

After laughing a few times, He Renlong swallowed his saliva, and suddenly said: "Does the prince know that my He Ying has also encountered a lot of rogues in Wollongong, and this time I have a credit for repelling the thieves?" ”

After speaking, he stared at Zhu Youhua tightly.
