Chapter 120 Recruiting Soldiers [II]

This time, even the officers sent by Han Ping couldn't suppress the soldiers below, after all, who wants someone to go through the back door?

"Lord Wang, why did they go in?"

"That's right! Lord, I remember that they were all very late! ”

"I'm not convinced!"

"Let's be fair!"

Han Ping's heart tightened, and two words that made them palpitate appeared. Mutiny!

At this time, Zhao Yu, who had never led soldiers, was calmer than them. Huo Ran raised his right hand, and the five hundred palace guards brought by Zhao Yu immediately pulled out their waist knives as if they had done countless rehearsals, "Qiang!" Boom! The sound of the knife is endless, and under the violent shaking light, the waist knife emits a white swaying knife light, and the momentum is so terrifying.

Only then did all the box soldiers remember their identities, they were just box soldiers, and now there are more than 100,000 troops stationed in Bianliang City! And the person in front of him, Sensei said that he killed him, even if he touched a single hair of him, I am afraid that countless soldiers will fall to the ground.

One by one, he wisely closed his mouth. Of course, this does not mean that they are convinced, but they dare not speak out. The more than 100 soldiers who were selected also showed cramped expressions on their faces.

Zhao Yu didn't care what these people thought in their hearts, he just nodded with satisfaction, and said to the more than 120 people below: "The reason why you were selected is because after you raised the red flag, you still didn't give up, and you were still running to rush back." You have an unyielding heart! ”

When Zhao Yu said this, he said loudly: "These are the second and third conditions, a heart of loyalty that can reassure colleagues. An unyielding heart! No matter what the situation, the heart will not give up! ”

At this moment, everyone was speechless, and they really didn't know what to say. Many of the soldiers were devastated, and they originally thought that they were going through the back door, but they didn't expect to be selected because of this.

Beckoning to Han Ping, Zhao Yu asked, "When this king saw him come in, there were a lot of people outside, what was the reason?" ”

Han Ping glanced at Zhao Yu with complicated eyes, slowly stepped forward, and said expressionlessly: "Back to the prince's words, there are about 120,000 refugees gathered outside Bianliang City now, but the recruitment is only 10,000, so there are still 60,000 or 70,000 young people who have nothing to rely on. And most of them wanted to be one step ahead when the imperial court issued a new recruitment order, so they lingered outside the barracks. ”

Zhao Yu instructed Chong Shiheng, Wang Qi, and Hu Yanzhuo who came with him: "The three of you went to recruit 800 soldiers outside the barracks, which shows that these soldiers are the first to board the army, and each person will be given 50 stone of grain and 50 yuan to settle down, and the treatment is on par with the forbidden army!" In addition to this, 5,000 miscellaneous servants were recruited, and each of them had one stone of grain and two hundred yuan per month. ”

"No!" The three of them all promised and went down to act according to Zhao Yu's instructions.

The first soldiers are the daredevils, and the first is originally used in the siege of the city, the first wave of the daredevils. In the era of cold weapons, the death rate of siege warfare was very large, not to mention that as the first wave of attack, the casualty rate must be the highest in the whole army. Slowly, the word was used elsewhere and became synonymous with a high casualty rate.

While it is very dangerous to be the first to enter the army, it is still a feasible path for refugees who have no permanent place to live and have nothing. In particular, only 800 people are selected among the 60,000 or 70,000 young people, which is equivalent to one in a hundred.

Soon the selection of 800 people was full, and the treatment of miscellaneous labor, although not good, was not bad, especially for refugees who currently needed a job to support themselves and their families.

Zhao Yu scattered 200 of the 500 palace guards he brought and divided them into 2,000 soldiers. One palace guard for every ten van soldiers. With the palace guards as the chief, as for the original chief, he was promoted and became a deputy fifty generals, or added to Zhao Yu's palace guards. The whole army was organized into five battalions, namely the first battalion and the death battalion, and these two battalions did not have many troops, each with only about 400 people. The remaining two were overstaffed, each with 700 people, respectively the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion.

The commander of the first battalion is Hu Yanzhuo, the death battalion is Wang Qi, the commander of the first battalion is Xin Luyin, and the second battalion is the head of the van soldiers. Although Zhang Meng was promoted by the head, he was as his name suggested, fierce and abnormal, not to mention the first in the race, the long man was tall and big, and the weapon used was still the Mo knife that was popular in the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that the ancestor was still an officer of the Anxi Protectorate, and his family had the Modao combat method left at the beginning.

The last battalion, which Zhao Yu personally commanded, was named Tiejiadu, and consisted of 300 palace guards. One hundred sets of infantry armor are equipped on the iron armor, and in addition, the iron armor also has fifty horses that Zhao Yu bought with a lot of money, note that they are horses, not war horses. The horses of the Song Dynasty were very expensive, and one horse cost twenty-five times! And it's also a folk horse, if it's a war horse, it will cost about thirty-five times.

And the amount of forage that a horse eats every day is equivalent to three times the weight of the grain that a soldier eats, so you can imagine how heavy the logistical pressure is. For this reason, Zhao Yu only bought fifty horses, and the pressure was too great!

The next day, Zhao Yu set off early in the morning, and Song Renzong personally brought several prime ministers to see him off. Of course, Zhang Shixun didn't come to get sick, only Li Di and Wang De used it, Wang De was cautious and didn't dare to say anything to Zhao Yu, Li Di looked unhappy, and he felt embarrassed when he saw it, and Zhao Yu even felt a waste of time with him. Li Di is also happy that he is quiet on the side, he is just here to be a decoration!

Probably feeling some guilt, Song Renzong issued a holy decree on the spot and gave Zhao Yu a forbidden army name - Shengjie Army. Zhao Yu didn't expect that the first number he got was actually the number of Tong Guan's pro-army, who would be known as a traitor in the future.

Although Zhao Yu was a little surprised, he was not superstitious, thinking that this would bring him bad luck. accepted it at the moment, and naturally there were absolutely no people who picked bones, such as Zhao Yu's recruitment of more than 2,500 troops this time, and the strength of nearly 3,000 people.

Song Renzong didn't bother to pay attention to it, and he didn't send any of the twists and turns. In addition, Zhao Yu was already far away from the capital, and the turmoil only lasted for three or four days before it subsided. After all, the major events in the world are not just a matter of Zhao Yu.

Besides, Zhao Yu, with a small 3,000 soldiers and horses, 5,000 people (the other 2,000 were distributed by the imperial court) went to the Jeju Governor's Office, and the Cao Boat would send the grain for this disaster relief here for storage, and the rest would depend on Zhao Yu to find a way to solve it himself.

Along the way, they encountered many thieves, but they were all about ten or twenty people, and the few were only three or four, and they could not play a role in training troops at all.
