In the midst of the mourning, Jiang Hong carried out a vigorous disarmament action, first of all, to single out the old, weak, sick and disabled among them, and secondly, some soldiers and ruffians and some guys who were eating and waiting to die, but it will take some time to eliminate these people.

Of the more than 600 officers and men, more than 300 were wiped out in the first round, and among the remaining personnel, excluding those who maintain daily law and order, less than 100 officers and men who can be incorporated into combat personnel are pitiful, and it is imperative to recruit new soldiers.

However, Jiang Hong does not plan to recruit directly in the county, first, he is not familiar with the place, after all, Sheyang is still other people's territory, and it is inconvenient to act. The second is to avoid too many people from other forces being mixed in among the officers and soldiers, so Jiang Hong plans to go to the villages under the jurisdiction of Sheyang to recruit troops.

However, it is so easy to recruit soldiers, if it is to post notices and recruit soldiers on their own, Jiang Hong estimates that the maximum number of people who volunteer to serve as soldiers is 100, as an important labor force in the family, not to mention that the world has been peaceful at the beginning of the world, there has been no war recently, and there are very few people who are willing to enlist.

Fortunately, the Han Dynasty still implemented the military service system, but the successive Sheyang County commanders were privately swallowing empty salaries, resulting in many people escaping military service.

But if that person is the only labor force in a family, the pillar of the family, Jiang Hong feels that he should let it go, and it is better to have a conscience in life and work, but he doesn't want this compassion to bring Jiang Hong a lot of fame, of course, it is limited to the territory of Sheyang, which Jiang Hong did not expect.

Leaving Chen Zhi and most of the officers and soldiers in the shooting sun, Jiang Hong took more than a dozen old soldiers who had followed him from the Changshe to go out to recruit troops, and announced in public that Chen Zhi was given a big right, and anyone who violated discipline in the army did not need to report himself once it was discovered, and was directly thrown out of the army.

Jiang Hong first came to Wangjia Village, and when the people in the village heard that the new county lieutenant had come to recruit for military service, many of them looked dead, and even some women and children had a little panic on their faces.

Jiang Hong rode on his horse, looking at the chaotic crowd, all of them were honest farmers, among them there were some old men with gray temples, a little upset.

"My lord, there are so many people in this first village, it won't be long before they are full." Huang Yuandao.

Jiang Hong glanced at him, this guy has been following him since Changshe, when he went out to sweep, he came to inform the first wave of enemies, at that time he felt that this person was a little clever, he survived the battle of Guangzong, and he was willing to follow him when the army was disbanded, along the way Jiang Hong found that this person was quick-minded and quite spiritual, so he took one with him, hoping to bring out a good assistant.

"You know a basket." Jiang Hong replied to him, choking Huang Yuan speechless.

Jiang Hong turned his horse and walked twice, and then shouted:

"In the team, those who stand after the age and those who are not as good as those who tie their hair are out of the ranks."

A few people walked out of the crowd.

"In the team, the only male in the family is out of the ranks."

The crowd immediately decreased by more than half, leaving only more than 20 people still standing there, Jiang Hong knocked his head with a headache, and could only turn around and command helplessly:

"The rest, take it away."

When Jiang Hong and the others were about to walk out of the village, the people in the village reacted, and many people knelt and shouted in the direction Jiang Hong was going:

"Thank you, for your kindness."

"Lady Xie."

On the way to the next village, Huang Yuan held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking:

"My lord, why did you eliminate those people, with a little training, you can be regarded as a sergeant."

Jiang Hong didn't answer him, but asked Huang Yuan an unrelated question.

"Huang Yuan, what do you want to do most in your life?"

"Huh?" Huang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Villain, what you want to do is to be a big official, and then glorify your ancestors." ”

"When I was in Hanoi, I was willing to follow the adults, and I also hoped that when the adults were promoted, they would not forget the villain, and if they brought the villain a little, the villain would be satisfied." Huang Yuan complimented Jiang Hong slightly.

"Huang Yuan, do you really think I can ascend?"

Without waiting for Huang Yuan to answer, Jiang Hong said to himself.

"There are many ways to be promoted, one is to be filial piety, but I have no literary talent, no reputation, and no famous teacher connections, and the road to filial piety is blocked."

"The second is to make meritorious contributions, but if it is peaceful today, and I am not an official at the border, how can it be my turn to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield?"

"Third, talk to the boss, this road is nothing more than what he likes, but I have no way, no recommendation from others, and I can't even meet my boss, so how can I do what I like."

"In the end, it is to buy an official position, recommended by the family, but, do you think I have so much money to buy an official position? Or do you think I'm a kid of a family? Having said all that, do you still think I can ascend? ”

Jiang Hong sat on the horse, leaned over, and looked at Huang Yuan with a smile, Huang Yuan had a bitter gourd face, and could only compliment awkwardly:

"The villain believes that the adults must have a way."

Jiang Hongzhi got angry, laughed contemptuously, and said:

"Yes, I have a solution, but, the question is, can I trust you?"

When Huang Yuan heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and said:

"The villain will live up to the adult, and he is willing to serve the adult."

"Huh." Jiang Hong laughed twice immediately, "Anyone will say something beautiful, and when the time is right, or when I think I can trust you, I will naturally tell you, so let's get up first." ”

Huang Yuan got up from the ground, licked his face and asked:

"Then can the adults tell the villains why the adults want to remove those men, so that it will take a lot of extra time to recruit people."

"I can tell you that." Jiang Hong thought about it for a while, "Think about it, we are outsiders to Sheyang, and the dragon can't suppress the head snake of the earth, not to mention that we are just a small worm, and the only thing I can rely on is my official position, except for your more than thirty brothers." ”

"County lieutenant, in charge of the county's public security to arrest thieves and bandits, if you want to gain a firm foothold in this shooting, it is not enough to rely on these 31 brothers, I also need an army under my control, and it is an elite soldier, so I only need those young and strong, as for those only men in the family, even if they are recruited into the team, his mind is still in his own home, and he can't serve me wholeheartedly, and this can be regarded as a little compassion of mine."

"Your Excellency is wise."

"Wise fart, if you are really wise, Lao Tzu should lie in the house now, drink tea, and call two maids to serve, why do you come here to suffer this sin."
