A fire reduced parts of Jiangyin to ashes, and in some places even a few nearby neighborhoods were in ruins, but it also added some "open space" to the city, which now comes in handy.

The location of the grain depot in the city was almost a hundred feet away, but it had been reduced to ruins, and that night, the fire was the greatest, because this was the grain depot, so the most firewood and grass were piled up.

In the past few days, this place has been full of people who have come to recruit idlers, under the shouting of more than 100 soldiers, these people who have just been recruited have knocked down the remnants of the ruins with the wall wood, and lifted the broken bricks and scorched wood aside, but in an hour or two, a vacant land of about a dozen acres has been cleared.

There are even more than 100,000 catties of iron that have been cleaned out, these are the iron nails on the beams of the burned house, as the general manager of the thousand, Li Ziyuan knows very well that these wrought iron is a good material for making weapons, so he specially ordered people to bundle and stack these iron nails in a corner, as for those newly recruited soldiers, they have set up simple but inhabitable grass huts in the open space in the past few days.

As the sun set, Zhu Mingzhong, who went ashore from the wharf, took more than a dozen pro-soldiers, and after entering the city, he came directly to the school field in the city, these so-called pro-soldiers, most of them were the original 100 "death squad" soldiers, it can be said that they were also Zhu Mingzhong's cronies, according to the ancient habits, after the defeat of Jiangyin, Zhu Mingzhong left them all behind, as his own personal soldiers, as for the rest of the people in the camp of the backbone, they were responsible for recruiting and training recruits.

"In the past few days when I went to see the general, the recruitment of troops was handed over to Li Ziyuan, he turned out to be the general manager of the stamina battalion, and he can be regarded as an old soldier, it is estimated that in the past few days, this new battalion should have improved a little......"

Before he finished his words to Wu Youcai here, over there, before he entered the camp, Zhu Mingzhong's face became ugly and embarrassed - the tent was messy, like a vegetable market!

Through the wooden fence, you can also see the chaos in the camp, just like a vegetable market, under the grass huts, three or five piles are set up there to push Pai Gow or in the big mountain. There was no one training there at all, let alone the so-called military prestige.

Moment. Zhu Mingzhong's face became ugly.

This Li Ziyuan, what the hell is wrong with it?

As soon as he entered the camp with his front foot, Li Ziyuan, who rushed over with his back foot, obviously didn't notice Zhu Mingzhong's ugly face, but said as if asking for credit.

"My lord, there are now 5,617 people who have come to apply! With the addition of the previous brothers, you now have nearly 7,000 men under your command! ”

Hearing that the adults came to the camp with their own soldiers, Li Ziyuan, who was in charge of recruiting soldiers, hurriedly ran over to report while he was reporting.

There are even a few soldiers on the side shouting and letting those "soldiers" who are pushing pai gow and talking about the mountains gather, and under the shouting of dozens of generals, deputy generals, general flags, and small flags, those who have recruited people in the past few days will be loosely and squeezed into a ball, and there is no so-called queue at all.

"Stand up, what the hell, why did you forget it so quickly, stand up ......"

"He's all pig brains, have you forgotten how Lao Tzu taught him?"

The general flag and the small flag over there shouted, and this shouting was obviously not shouted to the people, but to the garrison, these veterans seemed to want to tell Zhu Mingzhong - they have trained these soldiers, but these soldiers are too stupid and have not learned themselves.

"As long as the craftsman has built all the weapons, you can take everyone with you......"

When Li Ziyuan was there to invite merit,

Zhu Mingzhong looked at the group of soldiers in front of him, his face became extremely ugly, what he was thinking about was not a question of shame or not, but a question of life and death.

The 6,000-strong procession in front of him was like a flock of sheep in the pasture, not to mention anything else, and even the most basic queue was not well listed, and they stood there in a haphazard manner, like a vegetable seller in the market, with no rules at all, just standing there at random.

As for the strong figures of these people, except for the small half and the strong, more than half of them are yellow and thin, and you can see at a glance that they usually live a half-starved life.

Obviously, he noticed that the adult's face was wrong, Li Ziyuan, who had been in the army for a long time, looked at the people in front of him, and immediately understood his thoughts, and hurriedly whispered beside the adult.

"My lord, although these people don't look very good, but the big ones are only thirty, as long as they eat a few full meals, they have endless strength, Jin Sheng, do you think this is the truth?"

For Zhang Jinsheng, who was originally just the head of the stamina battalion, he had already counted the good people in the past few days, and he was only waiting for the adults to come back, and when he heard Li Ziyuan ask, he hurriedly said.

"My lord, there are more than 2,000 people here, but they can be regarded as strong, adults can keep them by their side, they have enough food and salary, and when they go to the battlefield, they will naturally give their lives to adults! As for the rest, when there is a war, let them rush in front of it ......"

Damn, they don't know why their faces are so ugly, they think it's a soldier's body, and they also give advice to "help" themselves, but what do they think?

It's training!

This group of so-called veterans doesn't know what training is at all!

What the hell......

"Adults are not without mustard, the use of troops in the country is probably like this, you only need to gather the elite among them, practice them, and as for the rest, you can help ......"

Wu Youcai's words made Zhu Mingzhong stunned, he looked at Wu Youcai, and then looked at the soldiers in front of him who had not lined up yet, and there was only one thought left in his heart,

It was an urge to kill!

"Help to ......"

Staring at the soldiers who couldn't even line up well, Zhu Mingzhong sneered.

"Everyone is an old soldier, but they know what it is to be as fast as the wind, Xu as a forest, as plundering as fire, and as immobile as a mountain!"

After this rhetorical question, Zhu Mingzhong pointed to those soldiers and said.

"Just like them, when they get to the battlefield, it's not the end of letting people chop melons and vegetables, just like that, how can they set the Central Plains in the north and restore the rivers and mountains!"

When looking at these soldiers, Zhu Mingzhong even had an illusion that they had suddenly become the souls of the Qing soldiers.

"Big, big, wait, wait for a few battles, and the brothers will naturally become elite......"

Li Ziyuan explained to himself in embarrassment, after a few battles, the survivors will naturally become elites, just like the grandfather's stamina battalion, although they are raised by their stepmothers, but every battle is a striker, and those who survive are all crawling out of the pile of dead, so they can naturally be regarded as elite.

Zhu Mingzhong, whose face was extremely ugly, did not listen to his explanation.

"I sweat a lot in peacetime and bleed less in wartime, I don't even understand this truth, what kind of! Lao Tzu wants to train the troops himself! ”
