Chapter 310: Recruitment

With Wang Teng's connivance, a piece of news spread in Shanxi at a very fast speed: Wang Teng, the general of the Pingyu Guard, was unable to recruit soldiers because of a shortage of money. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As for the fact that the heroes from all over the country enthusiastically donated silver, Wang Teng did not mention a word.

Nowadays, it is no secret that Wang Teng is not treated by the central government.

As long as it is Wang Teng's bad luck, the court will definitely like to hear it!

On the contrary, if Wang Teng was broad, took out tens of thousands of taels of silver at one time, and successfully recruited enough soldiers, at that time, whose face did Wang Teng hit?

Yang Sichang is not a good person, he pays attention to retribution.

As long as Wang Teng dares to show any signs of recklessness, and the officials will crush people to death, Yang Sichang can find a thousand reasons to provoke!

Speaking of which, Wang Teng deliberately sold miserably, in order to have peace of mind.

"I'm already so miserable, who is embarrassed to deal with me?"

Guangling is in ruins, Wang Teng really can't afford to toss, if he can use his own miserable situation to exchange time for Guangling to develop, he is duty-bound.

Unexpectedly, after the allusion of Wang Teng's "crying poor" spread, an unexpected effect was achieved: businessmen from all over the country were filled with righteous indignation, and they went to Guangling one after another to dedicate their strength.

Either grain, wine, meat, or cloth......

With Zheng Xiu's enlightenment, Wang Teng did not refuse.

It's just that the Guangling Army baggage officer registered every material in the record: on a certain day, Ma Wengao in Datong, Shanxi, donated 100 sets of leather clothes......

At the same time, Wang Teng began the recruitment operation.

In order not to irritate Yang Sichang, Wang Teng only recruited 2,000 people for the first time, compared with the request of 15,000 people, 2,000 people are far behind, even if it reaches Yang Sichang's ears, it will not hurt.

Recently, the able-bodied Guangling soldiers have returned one after another, and the soldiers and horses under Wang Teng's command have recovered to 2,132 again.

Without affecting combat power, recruiting two thousand people is the limit.

Only after the new pawns were ready to use did Wang Teng dare to recruit troops in batches.

If Wang Teng only cares about quantity and ignores quality, sooner or later the Guangling Army will be lost to everyone and become a rabble.

There are still some days in the year, Wang Teng is not in a hurry, he is ready to fight steadily.

Even so, the news of the Guangling Army's recruitment of soldiers still caused a shock.

Guangling City, 1,500 Minzhuang under the command of Zhang Jaw were stationed outside the city, and during the Battle of Ulju, they experienced the war, and now they are considered old soldiers.

Before, the army was busy running around and fighting, so there was no time to train, but now, the army was stationed in Guangling, and it was clear that it was going to be stationed for a long time, and in this case, Zhang Jaw felt the need to implore Wang Teng to send someone over to assist in training.

When Jiannu was defeated and retreated, the sharpness of the Guangling Army was still eye-opening.

When attacking, it is as fierce as lightning, punctual and stable as Mount Tai, and it can be attacked and retreated.

The answer is exciting: you can be invincible with an open jaw!

Since you can't become a Guangling general, why don't you train your soldiers to become a Guangling army?

For some reason, this thought of opening his jaw became stronger and stronger.

Facts have proved that Wang Teng is far more empathetic than other generals, the battle of Ulzhou, after the war on meritorious deeds, Wang Teng did not discriminate against them because of the identity of the people, but treated everyone equally, and gave everyone enough rewards.

Minzhuang Camp was originally grateful to Wang Teng, and after this battle, he was even more grateful.

Of course, at this time, Zhang Jaw didn't know that in the list of generals reported by Wang Teng, he also became famous and became a genuine Ming officer.

The homeless people were originally hastily founded as self-defense organizations, and if their leadership is not effective, they may be reduced to scattered sand in an instant.

However, Wang Teng's indiscriminatory reward behavior made these people who had no sense of belonging settle down.

Guangling is everyone's home, especially after seeing Wang Teng's strength, no one has proposed to leave.

Although no one witnessed the scene of recruiting troops in Ulzhou, they could still hear nine times out of ten from the mouths of the merchants.

The ratio of thirty to one, it is so difficult for the Guangling Army to select soldiers, only those whose brains have been kicked by a donkey will leave the Minzhuang camp at this time.

Stay, it is possible to join the Guangling Army, if you really leave, there is no possibility.

Before, the big guys were forced to leave their homes and become homeless, but now, with a better choice, who wants to continue to drift away? Not to mention losing the face of the ancestors, it is annoying to run away like rats all day long.

Under Zhang Jaw, although he is not a Ming official, it is also difficult to let go.

Wang Teng also promised that if he went into battle to kill the enemy, regardless of the military camp, he would be rewarded for his merits, and he would never deduct half a point.

Wang Teng's credibility is still believed by everyone.

Of course, the Guangling Army issued monthly salaries by virtue of military cards, and the higher the level of the military cards, the more money and food the soldiers could receive.

The people were so enthusiastic about the military card that they found their jaws and expressed their eagerness to join the Guangling Army.

Everyone wants a military brand, but not everyone can hang this brand.

What to do?

After thinking about it, Zhang Jaw decided to go to see Wang Teng in person.

In front of the government officials, four guards stood with guns.

Zhang Jaw knew the rules, he didn't dare to hold it up, and after turning over and dismounting, he hugged his fists and smiled: "I am the open jaw of the homeless camp, I have important things to discuss with adults, and I bother my brother to give me a good speech."

The first soldier knew Zhang Jaw, and he didn't say hello before just to avoid suspicion, but now, seeing Zhang Jaw so knowledgeable, he smiled and said: "Lord Zhang is polite, my family has already ordered, if you want to enter the house, you can go in directly, no need to pass."

Well? There is still such a statement, I have to say that Wang Teng's move really scratched the itchy part of his jaw.

The king treats me as a countryman, I repay him as a countryman, Wang Teng treats me so well, Zhang Jaw will inevitably repay me twice.

Thinking a thousand times, he lingered at the door for a while, opened his jaw and took a deep breath, and then stepped into the house.

There are also soldiers on duty in the house, and after learning Zhang Jaw's intentions, there are soldiers who open the way in front of the head and lead him to Wang Teng's study.

As soon as they met, Wang Teng smiled and said: "I wanted to take the time to go to the Minzhuang camp to have a look, but recently I have been busy with military affairs, and I have been lacking in skills, open my jaw, don't blame me!" ”

Zhang Jaw was flattered, "Where is this my lord, if it weren't for the help of adults, we would already be dry bones in the grave, and it is difficult to repay the grace of reinvention even if the bones are broken."

Wang Teng was noncommittal, "I don't want you to be crushed, you can live well, it will be the greatest help to me, by the way, I entered the city today, but for the sake of grain?" ”

"The adults misunderstood, the baggage camp was faithful, and there was never a shortage of grain"

"Summer is coming, but there is a shortage of medicine to relieve the heat?"

Zhang Jaw straightened up, "No, the adult, the villain is not here for this."

Wang Teng pretended to be puzzled, "Oh? So what are you doing? ”

"This is the roster of soldiers under the command of the last general, please take a look"

The roster of soldiers is equivalent to the map of the state, and handing over the roster is tantamount to completely relinquishing military power.

With the roster in hand, the soldiers have nowhere to escape if they want to!

The roster of the Minzhuang camp was in Zhang Jaw's hand, but Wang Teng didn't take it in a hurry, but asked, "What does this mean?" The people's camp is also an indispensable force for my Ming Dynasty, do you want to pick a son? ”

Zhang Jaw was greatly embarrassed, "The adult misunderstood, the villain didn't mean anything else, but he just felt that training soldiers and horses was really not his own strength, and I wanted to implore the adults to send someone to train the soldiers."

"This is very simple, I'll ask Huang Degong to send some people over later."

Zhang Jaw showed joy and said, "Then thank you."

"My own brother, what do you say thank you?"

"Please accept this list."

"Huh? The Minzhuang camp is still yours, and this official will not move a single bit."

"My lord said and laughed, the whole world is not the king's land, and the king's land is the national soldier, what virtue do I have to open my jaw, how can I be in this position?"

Wang Teng smiled: "You are my army."

Zhang Jaw was embarrassed, "The villain didn't mean that."

Wang Teng took the roster and said, "Okay, I accepted this roster, but your troops and horses are still under your command, understand?" ”

"The villain understands"

"That's fine"

"The villain still has something to ask for!"

"Oh, just like that"

"The villain begs the adults to give the order to carve a military badge for the sergeant of our army"

Wang Teng said with a smile: "Okay, you have a open jaw, you actually set me up here, you know that the Guangling Army wants to recruit soldiers, you also have an idea, right?" ”

Zhang Jaw smiled and did not refute.

Wang Teng stood with his hands in his hands, and only after a while did he say: "Well, the Minzhuang battalion has no merit and hard work, and after a while I will order to go down and let the craftsman battalion rush to work and customize military cards for the soldiers."

This was an unexpected joy, and he knelt on the ground with open jaws, "Thank you, sir!" ”

Wang Teng lifted his jaw, "Hurry up, please get up, it just so happens that you are here, and I also have something to discuss with you."

Zhang Jaw cheered up and said, "My lord, just give orders."

"This time, I plan to recruit 2,000 soldiers, and it is not appropriate for the new and old soldiers to be stationed in Guangling, I plan to divide them, and each battalion of men and horses will be stationed in a city, which can not only guard against the rogues, but also save the consumption of grain, I don't know what you think?"

Zhang Jaw responded: "The villain has no objection, the adult will tell me directly where the people are stationed."

Wang Teng smiled and said: "Okay, Lingqiu is in an important place, I want to send you to garrison, I don't know what you think?" ”

"The villain has an order! It's just a matter of soldier training......"

"Don't worry, I'll let Huang Degong and them transfer people"

"And the little man took his leave."

"Wait, don't be in a hurry to leave, I'll call Huang Degong and them over to discuss something together."

"Whoa!"

"There is no hurry to move the defense, and it is not too late to act after three or five days."

"Whoa!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Teng summoned Huang Degong, Huang Hu and others into the camp.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I originally planned to recruit 2,000 soldiers first, but I forgot about the stubble of the Minzhuang battalion, and today I got a reminder from Zhang Jaw, I came to my senses, and the Minzhuang battalion also went into battle to kill the Tartars, I decided to include them under my command, do you have any objections?"

Zhang Jaw is a steady person and never argues with others, although such a character is a battalion general, although he is a little lucky, but it is nothing.

Whether it is Huang Degong or Huang Hu, they are not jealous of the virtuous people, "we have no objections."

Wang Teng breathed a sigh of relief, "Since this is the case, the plan remains unchanged, in addition to the Minzhuang camp, another 2,000 soldiers and horses will be recruited."

"Order!"

Two thousand soldiers and horses were distributed to three battalions, each battalion was only 700 people, according to Wang Teng's current prestige, it was only a matter of one or two days to recruit soldiers, the only problem was how to solve the problem of too many new soldiers and the decline in strength caused by the rapid growth of the number of soldiers.

Originally, a battalion of soldiers and horses was only a few hundred, but now, once the soldiers are recruited, each battalion will exceed 1,000 people.

Compared to before, the number has doubled.

There are too many new soldiers, it is easy to bring a series of problems, they have only been in the army for a short time, and they are also contaminated with a lot of bad habits, once they cannot be corrected in time, in case the bad atmosphere spreads in the barracks, it is really picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

Looking around, Wang Teng expressed his worries: "There are too many new soldiers in the battalion, how to ensure combat strength, do you have any good methods?" ”

Zhang Jaw had just joined this core group, so he naturally didn't want to show his edge, and Huang Hu was a lot more gloomy after being injured, and it was even more difficult to ask him to give advice than to kill him.

Tong has always not had too many concerns, he said his thoughts: "There is also a way, it is nothing more than strict military discipline and using the old to lead the new."

There is really nothing new, but it can be regarded as a solution, in this regard, Wang Teng was noncommittal, and asked Huang Degong: "Hushan, what are your plans?" ”

"I can't talk about a clever plan, I think we should break up the new pawns, not let them form a group, let alone let them form a party for personal gain."

This method is more cumbersome, but it does curb the influence of the new pawn to the greatest extent.

It's just that, since then, isn't the people who no one has painstakingly recruited before, no different from other new soldiers?

In the end, it was Song Xiance who understood Wang Teng's thoughts, and he said: "What General Huang said is reasonable, but he can't generalize about the new soldiers, in my opinion, the soldiers of the Minzhuang battalion can be trusted, and they shouldn't cause trouble."

As soon as Song Xiance reminded him, Huang Degong immediately sweated on his forehead, he hadn't thought of this at all before.

The Minzhuang camp is extremely loyal to Wang Teng, and there is really no need to break them up!

Seeing that the scene was a little cold, Song Xiance said again: "The new pawn has just arrived, in order to get ahead, be rich and glorious, as long as the military law is strict and the rewards and punishments are appropriate, no one must dare to commit crimes against the wind and risk the disapproval of the world."

Zhou Yuji grinned at this time: "I understand what Mr. means, if necessary, you can also kill chickens and monkeys, I am good at this!" ”

Wang Teng scolded with a smile: "You know how to fight and kill when you kill!" ”

Zhou Yuji was confident: "It's okay to have Mr. Song and Lord Wang to make suggestions, why should I bother?" ”

This thing is so lazy and stealing, Wang Teng is too lazy to pay attention to him, and finally concluded: "Since this is the case, then set the rules, the first priority after the new soldiers enter the camp is to remember the military discipline, let them know what can be done and when not to do."

If the new soldiers don't even know what military law is, even if they are punished, there will definitely be people who are not convinced. (To be continued.) )
