Chapter 57 Recruitment
Shi Jin called Zhu Wu, Li Jun and others over.
He pointed to several places in Lushun and Dalian in the map and said: "Now the Suzhou Mansion in Liaodong has been conquered by our army, but the Great Song Dynasty already has the Suzhou Mansion, if it is still called Suzhou, it is easy to be confused." I decided to name this place Jinzhou, Lushun in this place, and Dalian here. ”
Shi Jin changed his name to Jinzhou, Lushun, and Dalian, and Zhu Wu was still thinking about the meaning of these places.
Shi Jin continued: "Although our army has captured Jinzhou, how to hold it next is the key. I plan to build a pass in Nanguanling to hold back the incoming Liao army. To build a military port in the town of Tori as our naval base, we can not only increase the number of places for our navy to dock, but also monitor Goryeo. At the same time, in order to increase the income of our army, I also planned to build a large bazaar in Dalian. It's the middle of winter, and the tribe should have a lot of idle population. Zhu Wu, you send people to the tribes to inform and recruit people. Our army has just fought a big battle with the Horde and killed many of them. They should still have a lot of fear of our army in their hearts, and the requirements for recruitment at the beginning can be lowered a little and the treatment can be better, so as to attract these tribal people, and at the same time establish the prestige of our army and win the trust of the people! ”
Zhu Wu nodded and said, "Don't worry, marshal, I will take care of it!" ”
Shi Jin Chuantou said to Li Jun and Zhang Heng: "Lushun is very suitable as a naval base for our army, and the North Sea Fleet base I plan to set up there in the future." But how to set up the layout of the water village and how to establish the defense method still need to be planned by Li Jun and Zhang Heng, two of you professionals, and the two of you will go there to investigate as soon as possible. Come back and write me a proposal. I'm going to get someone to prepare a construction plan! ”
Li Jun and Zhang Heng hurriedly arched their hands when they heard this: "The last general respects the order!" ”
After instructing Li Jun and Zhang Heng, Shi Jin said to Zhu Gui: "Now that our army has captured Jinzhou, the Liao State will definitely not give up. You have to pay attention to the movements of the Liao army. At the same time, he sent a message to Lin Chong and Wu Yong, asking them to organize manpower and send soldiers and horses over in an orderly manner. There is also a need for Tong Guan to accept the promised materials as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't expect our army to easily return Hangzhou City to the Great Song Dynasty. Annoyed Ben Shuai, I took all the hundreds of thousands of people in Hangzhou to Liaodong, and left an empty city for the Great Song Dynasty! ”
Zhu Gui arched his hand and said, "The subordinates will definitely convey the marshal's meaning to them!" ”
Shi Jin looked at the few people present and shouted: "Now that they all understand, let's go and get busy!" Whether we can hold Jinzhou and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent development of our army depends on whether we can defeat the Liao army's attack this time! ”
"Yes, Marshal!"
The next day, Zhu Wu admonished Shi Wengong, and then asked him to lead fifty cavalry and interpreters to the tribes in Jinzhou to recruit workers.
Shi Wengong led the cavalry, and under the guidance of Han Sanding, came to the Tunte tribe.
Since agreeing to belong to Shi Jin that day, the Ute tribe has ended their wandering and returned to their original place to graze.
When Shi Wengong arrived with fifty cavalry, he also frightened the herdsmen of Ut. This herdsman had seen Shi Wengong's invincible appearance in the camp that day.
The herdsmen thought that this Shi Wengong had suddenly killed again, and they were almost about to blow the horn.
Fortunately, Han Sanding shouted loudly in Khitan language, and Shi Wengong and the others only had more than 50 cavalry, and they didn't take out their bows, arrows, and sabers, which reluctantly put the herdsmen at ease, but he still hurried to tell the tribal leader Yu Tesheng.
Hearing that Shi Wengong, a fierce general, was coming here, Yu Tesheng hurriedly welcomed him in, and at the same time, he did not forget to ask the tribal warriors to quietly surround him, and be on guard.
Shi Wengong saw the small movements of Yan Tesheng clearly, but Shi Wengong had already been advised by Zhu Wu.
Now that the people of the tribe are all under Shi Jin's rule, the Liangshan army can no longer kill at will in the future, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law.
Shi Wengong is very confident in his martial arts, even if there are thousands of troops, he can kill safely by sitting down on the horse, with a gun in his hand and a bow in his waist.
In order to reassure the people of the tribe, Shi Wengong left all his men outside the tribe, and he walked into the tribe's residence alone.
When he arrived at a wide open space in the middle of the tribe, Shi Wengong shouted to Te Sheng: "Leader of Ut, my general wants to build a market in Dalian, and he needs a lot of people to help build it!" ”
Shi Wengong said a word, and Han Sanding was busy translating a sentence.
Hearing that the other party wanted to build a bazaar with manpower, he thought that if the other party was to serve as a servant of his own tribe, he immediately became vigilant. Thinking about it, I knew that these Song dogs would not be so kind and would treat us well. Now it's a conscription, and I'm afraid that the next thing is to increase the amount of tribute.
Yu Tesheng was thinking about how to return to the absolute side, and at the same time thinking about his attitude towards Song Jun in the future.
Seeing the cautious attitude of the other party, Shi Wengong did not explain, he turned his head to the tribesmen who were watching, and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, your tribe will not be forced to send people, it is all voluntary." As long as you come to participate voluntarily, we will pay 100 wen a day and 40 wen a half day. And if you work for a day, you will have three meals and one meal for half a day. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded for burning knives. One day at a time, never in arrears. The opportunity is rare, if you are interested, sign up quickly, and don't wait for the outdated! ”
When Han Sanding finished interpreting and shouting, the people of the T tribe present were shocked when they heard it.
They couldn't believe that these Song people would give such a good treatment. Among these people were barterers, and many of them had never used copper coins.
Now I hear that the salary for a day is 100 Wen, and it includes three meals, and even if you do a good job, you will be rewarded for burning knives in three taels.
Since the last time Li Jun brought that cart of spirits, the guards who asked about the smell of wine all swore that even if they smelled the fragrance, they couldn't help drooling.
Many people have heard that they are very eager to taste the burning knife and drink the stomach, what kind of taste is like the knife burning, and there are three or two burning knife rewards after hearing the Tao, many people are a little moved.
However, even though many people are tempted, they still dare not sign up.
Because the conditions are too good, they are afraid that these Song people are deceiving them. When they sign up for the fool, the Song people will arrest them, not knowing where they will be sent back or how they will treat them in the end.
Seeing that these tribal people were vigilant, they didn't dare to step forward. Shi Wengong secretly admired it in his heart, and it was as expected by the marshal.
The marshal had said at the beginning that these tribesmen might be afraid to participate easily, so let's be patient and strategic when recruiting.
Shi Wengong secretly laughed in his heart, now in order to win your trust, he will offer such good conditions.
After this village, there will be no such shop!
If you recruit people after a while, it won't be so good.
Shi Wengong shouted: "Ben and his subordinates have been running for a day, eating dry food, and the birds are fading out of their mouths, just because they are hungry and want to eat roast whole sheep again." Whoever goes to get three sheep for Ben will buy them for five taels of silver, and then give him a pot of burning knives as errand money! ”
Hearing Shi Wengong say that he wanted to eat roast lamb shank, Yu Tesheng thought that the other party was also a guest, and immediately shouted, "If you spend money to buy it, I will send the general three roasted whole sheep, so that the general and his subordinates can feel the hospitality of our tribe!" ”
Shi Wengong shook his head and said, "Brother Xie Sheng is kind, but he would never dare to accept it." Our Liangshan army has strict military law, and it is not allowed to take a stitch from the people, and if you dare to violate it, even the marshal himself will be severely punished. ”
Shi Wengong continued to shout to the tribesmen present: "Doesn't anyone in the tribe of Mofeno have three sheep? Or are you afraid that I won't give money? ”
Shi Wengong took out a silver ingot from his bosom, put it in his hand, and shouted, "Look, the silver is here." It's up to you to see who can send three sheep to General Ben first! ”
Seeing that Shi Wengong refused to accept his kindness and insisted on spending money to buy sheep, he thought about it and glanced at a guard.
The guard immediately ran out, and in a short time a young man from the tribe brought three sheep.
When Shi Wengong saw the sheep coming, he immediately happily threw the silver to the tribe and shouted, "Here, this is the money to buy sheep!" Oh, and a jug of wine, and then! ”
Shi Wengong took a cowhide water bag containing a burning knife from his horse and threw it to the tribe Qingzhuang.
The young man of that tribe saw that the Song general in front of him really gave him five taels of silver, as well as a burning knife, and he was a little overwhelmed.
He turned his head to look at the tribal leader, Te Sheng.
When he saw it, he said with a smile: "Since the general gave it to you, then you can accept it!" ”
Although the young man of the tribe didn't understand, when he heard that the tribal leaders said that he could accept it, he immediately accepted the silver in the envious eyes of everyone, opened the wine bag happily, and took a big sip.
Although he was choked on the first bite, he was reluctant to spit it out, so he swallowed it forcibly. Only when the smell of wine was completely flushed out did he shout: "Good wine!" ”
Some of the tribesmen who knew each other suddenly shouted, "Leave me a little!" ”
"Don't drink it all, give me a taste too!"
……
Seeing that there was some chaos at the scene, they were all scrambling for the bag of wine to drink, Shi Wengong laughed and said: "My marshal is a person who keeps his promises and does what he says. As long as you come to work with us, you can also drink good wine, and you don't have to envy others. Don't miss it, or you'll regret it later. Now I'm going to roast the sheep and eat it to my heart's content. If you want to sign up, come to us yourself! ”
After Shi Wengong finished shouting, he led his horse with his left hand and the three sheep with his right hand and walked out of the tent.
Watching Shi Wengong walk out, the onlookers of the tribe fell into an inexplicable silence.
The Song people in front of him are completely different from those Song people in the influence, as if he is a good man who keeps his promises.
He said that he should go to recruitment, should he go?
100 yuan a day, three meals are included, and if you do a good job, you can also try three taels of burning knives.
Where can I find such a good thing!
Should you trust these Song people, should you sign up!
It's so tangled!
Many tribal people are caught in hesitation and contradictions.
Although some tribal people hated these Song people, because of their arrival, their lives were completely changed, and many relatives and friends died in battle.
But in this era, the nomads have to face annexation and anti-annexation, robbery and horse thieves almost every year, and they have been fighting horses for many years, so that they have become accustomed to life and death.
Compared with those hatreds, how to survive and how to keep the family alive is the top priority.
Some of the pillars of the people's families were killed in battle, and some people's family property was robbed, and there was no livelihood left.
These people heard that the Song people recruited labor, and the treatment was very good, if these Song people really kept their promises, they would be able to survive this harsh winter.
Even if there are concerns, in order to survive, many people still sign up in the end.
Waiting until Shi Wengong finished eating a roast leg of lamb, he wiped his mouth and asked, "How many people have signed up now!" ”
Han Sanding, who was in charge of communicating and ascending the throne, shouted respectfully: "General Hui, there are only more than sixty people, and except for a dozen young people, the others are women, old people and half-grown children!" ”
Shi Wengong heard it and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter who it is, as long as you sign up, you can take it back!" ”
Anyway, the marshal said that in order to be sure of the tribal people, the first few times they were treated better, they should be bought as a daughter.
Shi Wengong sent ten cavalrymen to escort these people to Dalian.
Thinking of that place in Dalian, Shi Wengong muttered in his heart.
This marshal is really, it seems that except for military talent, everything else feels very perfunctory.
So he took out a map, looked at it, pointed to a place, and said, "We are going to build a bazaar here, so that merchants from all over the world can come and trade." also took a quirky name - Dalian!
Dalian? Does it mean anything? Shi Wengong couldn't think of what the meaning of this name was after thinking about it for a long time, let alone him, even Zhu Wu and these guys looked confused.
However, the marshal forced to take this name, and taking the name of the place was just a trivial matter, and everyone followed the marshal's wishes.
When Shi Wengong led people to recruit workers in various parts of Jinzhou, the first batch of recruited workers had already been sent to Dalian.
The current Dalian is a large construction site at all, and the original primeval forest has been cut down by the Liangshan swords and spearmen who were temporarily arrested as strong men, and a large open space has been emptied.
At the gate of the construction site, Tao Zongwang, who was specially responsible for the construction of the nine-tailed turtle, saw Luan Tingyu, who was escorting the workers, arrived.
He shouted happily from afar: "At last you have hoped, the marshal's plan for the bazaar is very large, and many houses are to be built, and there is a shortage of manpower in many places. If you don't come again, I really don't know what to do! ”
But when Luan Tingyu and the others walked in, Tao Zongwang saw that there were only more than 60 workers recruited, and there were many women, the elderly and children.
He frowned, and complained to Luan Tingyu: "Why are there only so many people." And there are women and children, what is the use of these people? ”
is a fierce general, and he was transferred to be the captain of the escort team. Although he knew that it was temporary, Luan Tingyu was still very unhappy.
Hearing Tao Zongwang's complaint, he shouted angrily: "There are so many people who sign up now, do you like it or not." If you have the ability, you can complain to the marshal, and don't nag in front of me! ”
Hearing that Luan Tingyu was dissatisfied, Tao Zongwang hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "Isn't this that I am anxious to complete the task assigned by the marshal as soon as possible!" It's mine, it's not me, it just so happens that my subordinates have caught a lot of game, and I'll ask them to send it later, let's have a few drinks, and I'll pay you a loss! ”
Luan Tingyu said with satisfaction when he heard this: "That's right! Hey, the food in the army these days is about to be sick to my stomach. I'm just here to fight your tooth sacrifice. Tell you, don't try to fool me, just take out something delicious. ”
Tao Zongwang shouted: "Fool anyone, don't dare to fool you General Luan!" You go to my tent and sit down for a while, and I will arrange these people, and then I will go to you!" ”
Luan Tingyu waved his hand and shouted, "Okay, you go!" By the way, where is your wine stash? Rushed all the way over, blowing the cold wind all the way, and my face was almost frozen. The place chosen by the marshal is really amazing, the climate is not cold in winter, and there is no heat in summer, what a good place! Unlike other places, the north wind blows deadly in winter! ”
Tao Zongwang nodded in agreement when he heard it: "Yes, this Dalian is really a good place!" ”
