Chapter 13 Recruitment

There were no twists and turns along the way, Ziren led his troops to arrive outside the gate an hour in advance, but found that there were many men waiting here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The strong men who had been waiting for a long time saw Ziren coming, and immediately surrounded him.

Ziren was worried that the Tong family was secretly hiding in it and taking advantage of the chaos, so he immediately ordered someone to command the entire team of strong men who were recruited. Then he sent Ding Youcai to the Tongjia grain store to transport a hundred stones of grain, and asked Cui Desheng and Han Shiyong to lead the troops into the city to prepare.

As soon as this side was ready, Zu Damu rushed out of the crowd, ran to Ziren's side with a smile on his face and said, "Lord Ding, I heard that you are recruiting troops here, and I have come to join the little one." ”

Seeing that Zu Damu took the initiative to vote, Ziren couldn't help but feel suspicious, and hurriedly asked: "Zu Damu, isn't it good that you are a buddy in Master Zu's restaurant?" At this time, Ziren deliberately paused, looked at Zu Damu carefully, and saw that he did not show any abnormality, so he continued: "Your uncle is now the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong Town, how could he think of defecting to me, this little boss?" ”

Seeing that Ziren was suspicious, Zu Damu didn't care about it, and replied with a spring breeze on his face: "When the guys ask for the faces of the guests every day, how can there be the joy of being a soldier and fighting." My uncle's men were mainly horsemen, so I didn't have much room to show my strength. At this time, Zu Damu deliberately put it to Ziren's ear and whispered: "Lord Ding, I heard it when the second uncle was talking. Not to mention that you make good use of firearms, there is also the Duke of Wei behind you, and Master Li Chengcai Li is also ready to recruit you as a son-in-law. Follow you to work hard, and you will definitely have a good life in the future. After saying that, he looked at Ziren with a smile.

Ziren only then discovered that Zu Damu, this kid, had not been in vain for a few years, and this little abacus in his heart was very good. After careful inquiry, I found that although this kid has average fists and feet, he is still quite shrewd, and for the sake of helping him a few days ago, he left him by his side to listen to it.

At this time, Ding Youcai also brought grain, and seeing that the number of men gathered around reached 1,000, Ziren felt that it was not too late, and immediately began to recruit soldiers.

In order to show his strength, Ziren specially ordered people to set up a general platform about three feet high, and Zhou Daqi and Ma Shinan led the troops to line up on both sides. Under the stage, eight chariots lined up.

The armor worn by Ziren and his entourage had been carefully polished yesterday, and under the noon sun, there were bursts of bright light, which looked very majestic.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ziren walked quickly to the general's platform, glanced at the audience with a serious face, and said loudly: "Brothers, in Xia Ding Shouming, he is the guard of this Changning Fort. A few days ago, I was the one who led the troops to wash the Tong family in blood, and I am here to recruit troops today, thank you for giving me this face. At this time, Ziren deliberately stopped, and took advantage of this opportunity to walk up with a box full of silver.

The men who had been waiting in the audience for a long time swallowed a few saliva from time to time when they saw this white flower. Many people who came with white-collar food began to take the matter of applying for the levy seriously.

Ziren thought that there would be a brave man under the heavy reward, and then said with a lofty voice:

"In this conscription, in addition to the custom of Liaodong Town, each foot soldier is paid one or two taels of silver per month, and the cavalry is one or two and a half cents, and the official pays double salary at the end of the year out of his own pocket." At this time, Ziren took two ingots of silver, and while playing, he said: "If the whole family comes to settle in my Changning Fort, each male will be given 50 acres of military tun, and the field will be 20%, and the farm tools and ploughing cattle will be allocated by my Ding Shouming." ”

In the early years of Wanli, Qi Jiguang's salary when he recruited troops in the north was one or two and a half yuan a month. In comparison, although the salary issued by Ziren was slightly lower, counting the double salary at the end of the year and the tuntian issued by Ziren, it was much stronger than the ordinary battalion soldiers.

Seeing that the salary is so generous, the applicants are gearing up, thinking about performing well in the hope of being selected.

Ziren struck while the iron was hot, and immediately announced the criteria for this conscription: this time, only strong men between the ages of 16 and 30 will be selected, and those with disabilities, thin physique, blank eyes, and less than seven feet tall will be eliminated. If there is a long plan, the conditions can be appropriately relaxed.

After the bloodbath of the Tong family a few days ago, Ziren was already famous in Liaoyang. Seeing that Shangguan said such a decisive cut, many men who knew that the conditions did not meet turned around and left on the spot.

Ziren is also trustworthy, as long as he is the one who takes the initiative to withdraw, he will give a bucket of food. For these honest people, Ziren also made a promise on the spot that if he really wanted to defect to his command, he could come to Changningbao Tuntian.

For those who are tuntian, although the field endowment has risen to 30 percent, each male can reclaim more than 100 acres of fertile land, which can be reduced to 10 percent. At the end of the year, a festival fee of one or two silver will be issued, and farm tools and ploughing cattle will be allocated.

Seeing that Ziren was trustworthy and the conditions offered were generous, many military surpluses and civilian households came to vote one after another, and more than 100 men were recruited on the spot.

In the following selection, many people who tried to fish in troubled waters were eliminated. The grain is still distributed, but Ziren is silent about recruiting Tuntian for a while for these sneaky and treacherous people.

After some selection, about 500 people passed the test.

Ziren immediately ordered all the conscripts who passed. You need to carry a bucket of grain, start from the Suqing Gate in the west of the city, bypass the Wujing Gate in the west of the city, pass through the invincible gate in the north of the city, and run to the Yongzhi Gate in the east of the city. If someone feels that their physical strength is not enough, they can just carry the food home.

The circumference of Liaoyang City is twenty-four miles, and the Ming system is five hundred and sixty meters for one mile, and it is two-fifths of the way around the city here, and the running distance is about ten miles (five .6 kilometers). In order to test their physical strength and obedience, to see if they can obey their orders unconditionally.

Then Ziren left Ma Shinan to lead people to distribute food, and he led Zhou Daqi to wait outside Yongzhi's door.

In the noon sun, the men who had applied for the draft took the rice bags with the T-character on them and ran quickly.

Hao Bajin was originally a family member under Li Xing, but was kicked out of the barracks by Li Xing because he was lazy and slippery on the battlefield. Because his martial arts are still acceptable and he can ride and shoot well, although he is over three years old, he is still allowed to apply.

has been on the battlefield for many years, and Hao Bajin's veteran oil ruffian behavior is difficult to change. I know that from the Suqing Gate to the Yongzhi Gate, the nearest route is from the Wujing Gate directly through the city, so that you can avoid an invincible gate and save about two miles of distance.

Therefore, Hao Bajin deliberately slowed down his pace at the beginning, and after most of the people walked away, he secretly slipped into the city from Wujing Gate. Unexpectedly, Cui Desheng and Han Shiyong had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw the T-character printed on the grain bag behind this person, they directly stopped him and disqualified him from applying.

There are nearly 100 people who have the same idea as Hao Bajin, and they were disqualified together, and they returned home with food on their backs.

When Ziren chose the route, he deliberately left this opportunity to let these treacherous villains show their original form. lest on the battlefield, someone will act without obeying orders.

At this time, in the restaurant not far away, there were two old men who were watching with interest everything that happened next to Wujing Gate.
