Relatively speaking, it sounds much simpler to catch a strong man than to march and fight, but in fact, it is also technical. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

That night, after Li Zhan asked about the situation of the Black Tower, he was arranged by Changji to join the army, and Zhao Lei and the others each took out a soldier from the team and handed it to Li Zhan.

After the thirty people arrived, Li Zhan suddenly had a big head.

From the beginning when he entered the Viking Mountain Bazaar, the soldiers he saw were all in good spirits, dragon and tiger spirits, and now the thirty soldiers he belonged to were able to move normally, and two of them had broken an arm, and the other two came on crutches, obviously these people were the worst soldiers in their ranks.

Of course, this only means that they have physical problems, but mentally they do not show any defects in the slightest, which is the quality of a military man. The only thing that is a little strange is that there seems to be some flickering and loss in their eyes.

Li Zhan understood that the military system of the Han Dynasty was to be soldiers in the prime of life, especially this group of expeditionary forces, all of whom were the elite of the Northern Army, and their treatment after being injured would be very different from the previous treatment. If nothing else, let's just talk about food.

Normal soldiers eat three meals a day, one meal has meat, but their group of wounded soldiers only provides two meals a day, and only once every half a month. This is completely incapable of meeting the daily needs of these soldiers in the prime of life.

As a result, their morale looks extremely low.

"At this time, we should properly boost morale, after all, these people will be my people in the future, and I still have a lot of gold coins in my pocket, and I can also buy some food to improve their living conditions at that time." Li Zhan thought in his heart.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that everyone is a soldier who fights bravely, shedding blood for the country, this is the glory of the country, from now on, I, Li Zhan, will officially become your commander..."

Before Li Zhan finished speaking, he heard a soldier below sigh and said: "Hey, Lord Li, you don't need to say these useless words, we ourselves know the current situation, we are all eliminated, because of injuries and illness, we can no longer participate in the battle, which has dragged down the march, and now the Marquis of Dingyuan has not expelled us, at least we can still live, so please Lord Li don't embarrass us." ”

"Yes, everyone is a wounded soldier and can't participate in the battle, so naturally we have to eat less and give those brothers who are fighting an extra ration..."

The people below began to talk about it, they were also very clear about their own survival situation, it was good that soldiers who could not fight could have a meal, they had seen soldiers who were resting, but when they were out fighting, they were often left with a ration when they were wounded, and left to fend for themselves.

So they don't have much hope for who will manage them, even if the Marquis of Dingyuan comes over in person, it is just to send them a few taels of silver, get a table of wine and food to comfort them, and they will continue to live like this in the future.

Li Zhan saw that these soldiers were depressed, and he also knew the current situation very clearly, but now he wanted them to help him carry out the conscription, a whole song, five hundred people, if he wanted to go alone, he would not be tired to death. Even if you are conscripted, and others want to control 500 of them when they see you alone, then they will not jump out and rebel in minutes?

Therefore, he alone will not be able to recruit soldiers, he must have the help of these people. But now the enthusiasm of these people is very low, or even no longer motivated, and the only way to mobilize them is to use money to smash them.

There is nothing wrong with the saying that money can make ghosts grind, when Li Zhan took out a handful of gold coins and slapped them on the table, the eyes of several soldiers suddenly widened, and when he said: "As long as you help me get a soldier, then I will reward him with 1 gold coin!" This is the gold coin of Rome, and the silver of our Han is at least twenty taels! ”

This conversion rate is just Li Zhan's casual nonsense, in fact, in Dahan, a gold coin can be exchanged for between ten taels and fifteen taels of silver, which is not as high as he said. However, even ten taels of silver is enough for an ordinary soldier to buy a property and a piece of land in his hometown. For them, this gold coin is definitely not a small treasure.

"Master Li, what you said is true?" At this time, a soldier who looked quite normal looked up and asked, with a hint of joy on his face, and after coughing lightly twice, he continued to ask, "But Lord Li, we are now in Rome, not in our Han, how can we recruit soldiers?" ”

"Yes, this is in Rome, and our soldiers are all strong men..."

Li Zhan suddenly felt anxious about the IQ of these people, who said that the army of the Han Dynasty must be Han Chinese, this Viking mountain to the south are the Romans and Persians, as well as the slaves they plundered, and the north of the mountain is the Huns and Germans. The only Han Chinese here are their soldiers who came from the expedition.

"Master Li, you want us to help you catch the strong man, but this prime-aged man in the Viking Mountain has already belonged to Zhao Junhou, so we can only go south to grab some Romans back." At this time, a soldier on crutches limped out of the ranks, and then continued, "Some time ago, I heard Zhao Junhou say that the Persian army will attack Rome in the next two days, and a large number of Romans will flee here at that time, so let's take the opportunity to arrest them and serve as military laborers." ”

That's right, military labor. Hearing this word put forward by this person, Li Zhan understood that the purpose of Changji's conscription was actually to catch strong men and serve as laborers, and the war would inevitably bring destruction, and the fall of the city would also represent the displacement of refugees, which was the best time to catch strong men.

This person's comprehension ability is higher than that of other soldiers, and Li Zhan asked with interest, "What's your name and what did you do before?" ”

"My lord, my subordinate Zhang Ke was a shadow guard in the front army before he injured his leg." Zhang Ke immediately replied respectfully.

"My lord, Zhang Ke's ancestor is the Marquis of Wen Cheng of our Han Dynasty!"

"Marquis Wencheng? Zhang liang?! ”

Mentioning the name of Zhang Liang, Marquis of Wencheng, Zhang Ke suddenly felt ashamed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Zhang Ke is ashamed of the ancestors, if the ancestors know about it, they will definitely scold so-and-so." ”

Li Zhan stepped forward, stuffed a gold coin into Zhang Ke's hand, and then patted him on the shoulder and said: "The husband can bend and stretch, a moment of frustration does not mean that there will never be a day to turn over, and when your leg injury recovers, it will be better than before!" ”

"You have traveled thousands of miles to here, set foot on a land that your ancestors did not know, you are heroes and heroes in the world, and the first in the Han Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were full of fire, that's right, their ancestors have not set foot in this land, they should be the first in the Han Dynasty!
