Chapter 167 - Recruitment
After returning from the factory area. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zheng Qiushan threw himself into the intense recruitment work, but he soon discovered a situation, which was quite a cheat!
It turns out that the school-age young people near Hainan have all been recruited in the last road repair project!
In desperation, Zheng Qiushan had no choice but to pack his luggage, take dozens of his cronies, get on a tractor to Haikou, and prepare to go to the mainland to recruit people......
After seeing his old boss Jin Yishan in Haikou, he arranged the latest boat to the mainland, and the journey was smooth, and after arriving at the Leizhou Peninsula, he did not stop!
Instead, he chose to continue to go to Jiangxi and Hunan, after experiencing the last blow, Zheng Qiushan now understands it, and at the same time understands some of Zhang Yun's methods, that is, it is best to find rural people to recruit soldiers.
And Zheng Qiushan decided to carry out Zhang Yun's practice to the end and carry it forward! Isn't it to recruit rural people?
Lao Tzu simply went to the most remote countryside to recruit people in person, and recruited those who were illiterate......
When the time comes, I will bring them back and teach them myself, and as for the early operation of artillery ships, it is possible to use the descendants of those old shipwrights first.
In the form of the old and the new, it was originally necessary to have the sons of the peasants who had been recruited by the ruffians to lead them by hand, operate the artillery and drive the ships......
But this kind of technology doesn't require any skill, even if they can't read and speak, they can't speak certain theories, but if they keep learning from the side, even if it's a cow, they can teach it three times!
The most important thing is that the rural people in remote areas are very simple, like a blank piece of paper, and this is the most important thing.
Because of the blank paper, it's easy to paint!
I got on the fast horse on the Leizhou Peninsula, ran for more than ten days in a row, and finally ran into Hunan......
After showing his identification, Zheng Qiushan easily got the support of the local government, after all, they all belonged to the same system.
Besides, it is also the responsibility of local officials to support the recruitment work, and the better they do, the more brilliant they will be!
"General Zheng, this is the backing mountain village, this village is very remote, and it fully meets your requirements."
Zheng Qiushan climbed out of breath and panting, and after holding on to a stone at this moment and standing firmly, he said: "It's rare that Mayor Tang is willing to accompany Zheng on this trip, Zheng is really grateful!" ā
"I didn't know that this village was so remote, and I had to walk twenty or thirty miles of mountain roads, and today it was really hard for Mayor Tang!"
At this moment, the so-called Mayor Tang was also out of breath, but when he heard Zheng Qiushan's kind words, he had a huge difference in status, so he hurriedly said: "Serving the main force is the responsibility of our local government, and General Zheng is ashamed to say this." ā
"It's just that this village is too remote, Xia Guan thought that General Zheng would not come, but he didn't expect General Zheng to be so serious, which really made Xia Guan admire!"
After Zheng Qiushan took a breath, he answered: "Originally, Zheng Mou also went out of the mountains and was in the cold, like this mountain road, I don't know how many miles I can walk out in a day, but now that I have been rich for a long time, today's performance, to be honest, Mayor Tang looks down on it?" ā
At this time, the so-called Mayor Tang was very embarrassed, no matter what he said at the beginning, it was wrong, so he had to shake his hands violently......
Seeing this, Zheng Qiushan no longer continued to humble himself, after all, his status as a general is too different from this little mayor, and continuing will only make this Tang mayor even more embarrassed!
And he still has a lot of things to ask him, so Zheng Qiushan has to ask, how far do you have to go next......
But before Mayor Tang could answer, smoke suddenly appeared on the side of the cliff opposite, and seeing this, Zheng Qiushan and more than a dozen cronies behind him were all in good spirits!
At this moment, the body that seemed to have walked more than 20 miles of mountain road was no longer so heavy, and everyone no longer needed encouragement from others, so they got up together......
The people in the backing village looked at the team of more than 20 people strangely, especially the dozen or so patriotic soldiers in military uniforms walking behind, and some even showed hostility!
It wasn't until they were in the middle of the team that they saw the mayor surnamed Tang in their own town, so the people let go of the hostility in their hearts.
Because since this place was under the jurisdiction of the Patriotic Army, Mayor Tang didn't know how many times he had been to the village, so basically every villager knew him, and he saw a big man come to the village.
Suddenly, the whole village was full of chickens and dogs!
Soon, the women were mostly back in their houses and did not show up, while the children followed the group......
Fortunately, an acquaintance led the way, and Mayor Tang led everyone directly to the village chief's house, and saw the village chief who had received the information halfway.
Still far away, the old village chief shouted: "Mayor Tang came over today, why didn't he notify him in advance, and the old man could let someone go to meet him halfway." ā
"Look at these twenty miles of mountain roads, but Mayor Tang is also tired!"
When he got closer, the mayor of the town exchanged pleasantries with the old village chief, and introduced Zheng Qiushan to the old mayor, after Zheng Qiushan explained his intentions.
The old village chief immediately let a bunch of children who followed him to inform the whole village......
The two or three hundred people in the whole village, except for the women, had already gathered on the threshing floor next to the village, and the old village chief took the lead in climbing up to the top first, explaining the intention of the mayor Tang and the people who came.
Then Mayor Tang ran up again, which was very encouraging, and seeing that the time was ripe, Zheng Qiushan immediately asked his subordinates to take out a box of silver coins and dump them directly on the threshing floor......
The silver of white flowers, under the reflection of the sun's rays, shoots out a seductive light of humanity!
Seeing all the young people in the village at this scene, their eyes instantly turned blood-red...... Then Zheng Qiushan announced that each person would be given a settling-in fee of 100 silver coins, of course, to be selected.
As a result, the young people in the village who were of the age group for recruitment began to run circles around the threshing floor......
Because of the poor conditions, Zheng Qiushan couldn't take out the set of recruits recruited by the army, so he simply asked all the young people who had reached the age group to directly use the old routine of running to run for the winners!
But even so, these young people are also very desperate, because Zheng Qiushan said very clearly, among the twenty or thirty people who meet the age group, he only has ten people.
There are no other assessment conditions, just keep running for this threshing floor until everyone can't stand it!
In the end, the ten people who still persevered met the standard, and no one could have persevered under such harsh conditions.
But while everyone was running, they looked at the pile of silver coins in the center of the cauldron field, as if all the strength of their bodies had been aroused......
In addition, all the people in the nearby village, except for the women, were on the threshing floor, cheering for them, and in this case, even if they couldn't run anymore, no young man wanted to admit it!
After running for about ten minutes, all the young people who had never undergone this kind of training were almost a little unable to persevere.
After all, only the last ten winners will have silver coins to take, and everyone else will run for nothing, so some people have already become slack.
Seeing this situation, Zheng Qiushan had another plan!
shouted from the side: "Even if you don't get chosen, as long as you hold on for an hour, you will have ten silver coins to take in the future!" ā
So, the twenty or thirty young people who had just slacked off, all of them were stimulants, gritted their teeth again, and burst out with the last trace of strength in their lives, and they were not willing to die, so they would lie down now!
At the same time, all the young people who have run to the present have risen to compare with each other, that is, you can do it, I can do it!
Even if someone really can't hold on anymore, his steps are like being filled with lead, and he can't lift it anymore, but he still walks and doesn't stop......
And Zheng Qiushan was looking at his watch all the time, and raised his hand on time to stop an hour later!
At this time, there were only three or five young people in the class who had never undergone this kind of training left, and the others were already walking, but none of them were lying down.
In fact, even the three or five people who are walking are just a little faster than ordinary people, and as for those who are walking, it is not too much to describe them as turtles!
However, Zheng Qiushan is not demanding about this situation, and he also knows what to do at this time? to boost morale!
So, the next exciting moment came, Zheng Qiushan personally grabbed the silver coins and first issued ten to each of those who did not meet the standard.
Persisting until now, there was no trace of strength, and everyone who relied on their will to support them saw the silver coin in Zheng Qiushan's hand.
At this moment, it burst out, and the last trace of potential in his body almost rushed to Zheng Qiushan's side......
Originally, after this matter was completed, Zheng Qiushan wanted to leave immediately, and there were still many places to go, but at this time, Mayor Tang, who had a big belly, was crying bitterly!
Zheng Qiushan didn't want to pay attention to him, but wanted to leave immediately, hand over these dozen or so recruits to the cronies he left, and take them out of this village tomorrow, and then take Mayor Tang with him!
It's a pity that at this time, the old village chief's words dispelled Zheng Qiushan's thoughts.
"The old man knows that the general is in a hurry, but although our village is remote, it is not the most remote, and there is another village ten miles above our village."
"So General, you might as well stay, rest for the night, and then go to the hunter village on the mountain tomorrow, and then recruit a group of competent soldiers by the way, and don't let the General take such a long mountain road in vain, right?"
And when he saw Zheng Qiushan, he was a little moved under the persuasion of the old village chief, and the mayor of Tang, who was already afraid of walking on the mountain road, also echoed it......
Seeing this, having seen the physical strength of these young men in the mountain village just now, Zheng Qiushan reluctantly agreed, this group of young men just now, but without training, ran for an hour in a row, and never stopped!
This kind of stamina, especially such willpower, made Zheng Qiushan's eyes red, especially when he heard that there was a more remote mountain village above, which was even more elite than the young people of this village.
Zheng Qiushan finally let go, and now he immediately left the idea of returning to the town.
And see that this big man is finally left!
Mayor Tang and the old village chief glanced at each other, and after nodding with each other's tacit understanding, the old village chief went down to arrange not to mention it......
It's dark.
At this time, the big guys were eating, drinking and having fun, and the tiger head who ran out of strength during the day, resulting in muscle soreness all over his body, he had always been alive and well, but he was lying on the bed at the moment.
Listening to the nagging of his wife...... At this moment, the tiger's mind has already drifted to the distant seaside, and he has fallen into the rumors he heard during the day!
It wasn't until the old lady reopened the cloth bag containing the silver coins and wanted to put silver coins in another cloth bag that the tiger head woke up......
He knew what his mother wanted to do, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, don't work in vain, leave all these silver coins at home!" ā
After the tiger head finished speaking, he looked at his mother, and he didn't mean to stop at all, so he looked at the eldest brother and said: "Big brother, it's almost thirty, but I can't get a daughter-in-law......
"What's more, after going to the south, the army also has to pay silver, not to mention food and clothing, so I don't need it at all, these silver coins are still left at home, and I will ask for a house for my eldest brother and daughter-in-law!"
Hearing this, the eldest brother of the tiger head glanced up at the tiger head and was about to say something......
The tiger-headed old lady said: "Then you can't go to a distant place alone, but don't bring a little silver, in case you go there and don't have anything to eat, then you can't get it back, my mother has heard that they have to go to a far place." ā
Speaking of this, the tiger head lady silently wept, at this time the tiger head was also a little helpless, and at the same time a sense of reluctance surged in his heart, and the dignified seven-foot man was too, and a trace of crystal flashed in his eyes!
"Bang ......"
At this time, the tiger head father finally finished the last puff of dry tobacco, knocked on the threshold with the dry tobacco stick, and said: "Tiger head, the silver coin is what you earned hard after all." ā
"So it's okay to let you take some of it, and the rest of the money is enough for your eldest brother to marry a daughter-in-law, so you don't have to worry."
"It's you, since ancient times, those who have served in the army have been able to return home, there are very few, but you have received other people's silver coins, the so-called taking other people's money and being managed by others!"
"The military order is like a mountain, if you don't go, the consequences are very serious, so the family will not keep you, but you go outside, but everything must be careful, don't fight with others ......"
Dad hasn't finished speaking, and when the old lady heard this, she gave another series of instructions!
What is out of the house, everything is ...... Directly talking about the oil lamps at home began to flash, the family stopped instructing!
During the whole process, the tiger head endured silently, not as rebellious as before!
