Chapter Thirty-Eight: Rich and Capricious

"Good! Let me tell you about it! Wang Rui looked at the few people with a curious look and smiled proudly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Don't underestimate my 'winning trade fair', this trade fair can achieve many purposes. First, it can make everyone in Fushan Qiansu profit from the war. Those who do not gain will be hungry for profit, and they will look forward to joining my war machine. For example, this fair. Second, of course, it is possible to turn all the loot into money. However, this is secondary, the main thing is to promote our military might. Third, you can also exercise and train these boys in the youth camp, so that they can learn to do things and learn to do business. Anyway, it's a seized thing, so let these boys practice! Wang Rui pointed to the teenagers who were busy in the various stalls and smiled.

When the three of them heard this, they couldn't stop nodding yes, and Pan Xuezhong admired Wang Rui's arrangement so much.

He was born in a maritime merchant family, and he understands the principle of interest bundling the most. Wang Rui's move is not just a bundle of interests, he is also creating an atmosphere in which the whole people are happy when they hear about the war, not to mention that in such a process, he has also trained a teenager. In the future, these teenagers have grown up, and they are all loyal and capable practical talents to Wang Rui.

A matter of dealing with seizures, Wang Rui can also play so many tricks, if Pan Xuezhong also travels through the past, he will definitely say: Brother, I am also drunk!

With this victory in the elimination of the Japanese invaders, Wang Rui has a wider path in front of him. He asked Pan Xuezhong to write a good news for himself, and at the same time took hundreds of Japanese heads to Dengzhou to report the victory.

Wang Rui, who came from the later generation of shopping malls, knew the power of money, and he did not hesitate to take out something worth 8,000 taels from the captured gold, silver and jewelry, and asked Pan Xuezhong to go to Dengzhou, the target was the garrison officer of the Jimo battalion.

If you want to ask Wang Rui, what do you value most about this Jimo camp? He will definitely tell you without hesitation that it is the number of troops of this Jimo battalion!

Although he is a thousand households, Wang Rui can also recruit thousands of people. But with the large-scale formation and training of private troops, he is still a little uneasy and can't let go. Who called Wang Rui a good law-abiding citizen from later generations?

However, if you have the identity of the Jimo battalion officer, it will be different! He can recruit a few thousand more soldiers in the open.

The Jimo Battalion is a military institution set up in the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, and it is a military unit set up to prevent the invasion of the Japanese and the coastal guards. In the eighth year of Ming Xuande, it was moved to five kilometers north of Jimo City. Ming Zhengde built the camp city in nine years, the circumference is two kilometers, set up three gates, "there is a city and a pond, compared to the county", and Jimo City into a horn trend, has a very important role in defending Jimo City.

The Jimo battalion was reorganized into one garrison, one of the 1,000 general of the Chinese army, two generals, and four sentinels, divided into two battalions on the left and right, with more than 1,200 soldiers. The two battalions are on duty in turns, one battalion is stationed in the main battalion, and the other battalion is divided into the defense of Nugukou, and the guards and troops can be deployed at any time to respond to emergency defense.

If Wang Rui can become the battalion officer of the Jimo Battalion, Zhenhai Fort and Fushan Qiansuo will go to the Jimo Camp completely, and it will completely become his sphere of influence.

With the concept of training and combat beyond this era, and the ability to spend a lot of money, Wang Rui believes that his strength can quickly rise to a new level. Moreover, the brothers under his command can be promoted, and the team will have more centripetal force.

However, this matter can't be decided for a while, and it depends on how Pan Xuezhong and Shi Dagongzi operate.

Although Pan Xuezhong took away a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, Wang Rui's materials and gold and silver were close to more than 20,000 taels. Taking the opportunity of this great victory, Wang Rui decided to recruit another 1,500 troops on a large scale. Let the number of soldiers in his hands reach two thousand five hundred.

With the income support of more than 100,000 taels of silver every month, Wang Rui is not worried about whether his economy can support it at all. He is completely rich now and has no place to spend, rich and capricious!

Because of the great victory achieved by the Fushan Qiansho, and the further publicity of the "Victory Fair", everyone regarded it as a good errand to go to Lord Wang as a soldier.

In the three days that Wang Rui recruited troops, people from all over the country rushed here, and the front of Fushan suddenly became a huge and lively recruiting ground. So much so that Wang Rui had to order half of the soldiers to go out of the camp to guard and deploy to maintain public order.

Wang Rui's recruitment this time still used the previous streamlined procedure, and after three days of tossing, he finally picked out 1,500 people.

And in order to better recruit troops in the future, Wang Rui is also very atmospheric for those who are not selected. For the whole three days, outside the new camp in front of Fushan, three times a day, thick porridge and flatbread were served openly.

The military households and civilian households around the front of Fushan also followed them to eat for three days. Although many people laughed in their hearts and said, "This thousand households are really a fool", everyone still praised Wang Rui's righteous deeds.

In this sad cold and unbearable winter, there is nothing better than eating for free for a few days. Many people received food, and when they saw Wang Rui's figure appear, they couldn't help but kneel down and say a few words of thanks such as "Lord Marquis Wandai".

Of course, Wang Rui will not let go of such an opportunity to perform, he is very close to the people, under the escort of the pro-guards, walking around among these people who can't tell whether they are here to enlist, teasing children from time to time, and asking the old man from time to time if he has eaten enough.

Many people watched Wang Rui approach, listened to Wang Rui's concern for the people around him, and felt that Lord Wang seemed to be facing him, and many people were moved to tears.

As a result, after every meal, the deeds of contact with Lord Wang can always make a large group of people with many mouths and tongues proudly blow for a long time.

Wang Rui knew that it was already the sixth year of the Apocalypse, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, was about to die, and the tragic last Ming Emperor Chongzhen Emperor was about to enter the historical stage, and the most difficult era of the Ming Dynasty had finally arrived. After recruiting troops, he ordered the whole army to start training.

Almost all of the soldiers and officers who performed well in this battle were promoted, and for a time the entire military camp in front of Fushan was overflowing with joy, and these people who had been promoted called each other's new official positions and were very happy.

Of course, there are also those who are not happy to be promoted. But this is a special case, so let's talk about it in the next chapter. Ha ha!

However, this time the recruit training camp, Wang Rui didn't worry much about it. After the last all-army training, Wang Rui formulated regulations for military training, and asked officers at all levels to follow the regulations. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is still his old routine: let the soldiers eat well! Give them beautiful military uniforms! Let them have a sense of collective pride! This is then supplemented by standing and platoon training, and the soldier forms the habit of obeying military orders.

Anyone who has participated in military training knows that when you walk in a neat and majestic team, you will naturally be full of strength, and you will naturally find a spiritual belonging!

The problem with the Ming army in this era was that every army that really trained was the family of the generals. Ordinary soldiers can't eat enough, what else do they practice? Wang Rui knew that although the "Qi Family Army" led by Qi Dashuai, whom he greatly admired, was powerful in the north and south, and had never been defeated in fighting the Japanese and attacking the northern captives, it was only a three-day practice.

There is no other reason, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court was corrupt from top to bottom, and after the military salary came out of the household department, it began to drift all the way, and when it came to the hands of the generals, there was little left. The general has no money, and the soldier can't eat like a beggar, how can this soldier train?

But Wang Rui is different, he has the knowledge and skills that surpass everyone in this era, especially the ability to make money like a little stone. The money for raising and training soldiers is not difficult at all for him, Wang Rui, a traverser.

It's not difficult, but you need to do it one by one. The soldiers and officers sweated and practiced hard in the field, and Wang Rui and Ma Ju also tried and tested repeatedly in the workshop.

On the evening of this day, Chen Ming went to the workshop to deliver food to the two of them, and he asked Wang Rui and Ma Ju what they were tossing, Wang Rui said with a smile: "We are experimenting with 'black technology', don't ask around!" ”

"Black technology! What is black technology? Chen Ming frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out.
