After dealing with the matter of protection money, Zheng Chenggong returned to Kinmen with 600,000 taels of silver. After the recruitment notice was set up at the Golden Gate Gate, within a few days, the recruits gathered like rain.

Standing on the general platform in the barracks and looking at the black and numb head in front of him, Zheng Chenggong's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but want to cut people with the sword he was holding in his hand.

What do these guys think of this as a refugee shelter?

At a glance, there are all poor people with thin bodies and thin yellow muscles. Many of them wore torn shoes, and many were even barefoot.

Some are even more outrageous, in the face of these people, Zheng Chenggong can't be angry, and has to shout respectfully: "Uncle, you can sit down and rest!" ”

These gray-haired old men trembling with crutches in their hands.

Not to mention that they want to fight, I'm afraid that they will be crowded in the crowd again, and when Zheng Chenggong waits, he will prepare a pair of longevity materials and give them a ride.

There are also some little children with snot, Zheng Chenggong doesn't have the strength to say it anymore, and it's in vain to say it.

Zheng Chenggong stepped down, found Hong Xu, and ordered him to send people to distinguish between those individuals and recruit only those who were over sixteen years old and under forty-five years old and had no physical defects.

Zheng Chenggong also wanted to add one more, and the strong ones stayed. But now that his troops are too small, what can four thousand soldiers and horses do? Oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and fight against hundreds of thousands of Qing troops?

I was afraid that as soon as I said it, the soldiers would immediately disperse.

There is a saying in the art of war that "soldiers are not more expensive", but that is also a practice under the guarantee of a certain number of troops.

Facing the reality, Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to leave those who were thin first, slowly recuperate, and leave those who are suitable in the future, and transfer them to logistics soldiers if they are not suitable.

The general Zheng Chenggong ordered that hard-handed measures should not be used, saying that his reputation could not be ruined. I persuaded Hong Xu from morning to afternoon, his mouth was dry, and he couldn't persuade anyone to leave.

are all about to starve to death, who cares that "good iron is not nailed, and good men are not soldiers".

If you don't join the army, you're afraid that you won't be able to survive tomorrow, but if you join the army, you can at least live a few more days, eat a full meal, and not be a starving ghost.

Therefore, the old, weak, sick and disabled cried, made trouble, and hanged themselves, and all kinds of rogue means were used, but they simply stayed in the barracks and did not leave.

In the end, Zheng Chenggong waved his hand, and what he had was money, and he recruited all of them.

The sick and disabled formed another army and did some logistics and the like, but they had no food and could not starve to death.

The weak ones can also be used as tinder and raised. Let the old ones help take care of the weak!

At the end of the day, except for persuading a little kid to join in the fun, it was still his parents who came over and twisted their ears before leaving, and nothing was done.

Zheng Chenggong was in no mood to give a passionate speech to these people.

It's time to see if it's time, and I directly called the head soldier to have dinner, but there was an accident like this.

Zheng Chenggong in order to recuperate these soldiers as soon as possible, and at the same time, he also bought people's hearts, so that these people would follow him with all their hearts.

So relying on the money, Zheng Chenggong said to the soldiers proudly, "You're welcome, everyone eats enough, and the steamed buns are enough." ”

It's time to bomb the camp! Regardless of the old or weak, an urn is on the top and desperately grabs the steamed buns.

The firehead soldiers carrying a basket of steamed buns looked at the menacing soldiers, and they were so frightened that they immediately threw away the steamed buns, turned around and ran.

In this way, there were still a few people who had no time to escape, and their legs were crushed.

No one disliked the steamed buns that fell on the ground, grabbed them, didn't even wipe them, just bit them in their mouths, and then grabbed another steamed bun with others with both hands.

Thousands of "soldiers" are messing around in the barracks for steamed buns, regardless of the old and weak, regardless of shame, regardless of benevolence and righteousness, only steamed buns in their eyes, with their teeth, with fists, and with yin tricks, just to grab a few more steamed buns.

Zheng Chenggong was stunned by the scene in front of him, he never thought that someone would fight desperately to grab a few steamed buns.

Fortunately, Hong Xu was standing beside him, and under his reminder, Zheng Chenggong hurriedly called the military discipline soldiers to step forward to stop the "suicide killing" of these people.

Sticks flew around, but they didn't stop them. Those people didn't care about the bleeding from their heads, and they swallowed the steamed buns they grabbed into their stomachs.

It wasn't until Zheng Chenggong called the army over, and until there was no longer a piece of steamed bun on the ground, that this farce came to an end.

After the liquidation, two or three fireheads had their feet crushed, and more than 100 soldiers were seriously injured in the squeezing and stampede, and they could not get out of bed for a month or two.

A few old people who were running faster than the young ones were clutching the steamed buns in their hands, but they didn't have the opportunity to taste the steamed buns again.

When the meal was arranged again, in order to prevent further accidents, a veteran sat next to each of the recruits. It was his own negligence that led to this disaster, Zheng Chenggong asked the injured soldier (to silver) in order to alleviate the guilt in his heart, and comforted the family of the old man (to silver).

However, through these things, Zheng Chenggong's reputation for kindness (sufficient food) and benevolence (kindness to the fallen soldiers) was recorded, and in the next few days, the number of recruits doubled, and even the people of Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and other state capitals came to join the army.

In a short period of time, Zheng Chenggong has accumulated tens of thousands of soldiers, and combined with the previous veterans, Zheng Chenggong immediately has more than 15,000 soldiers.

There are more soldiers and horses, but the overall strength has declined. However, Zheng Chenggong believes that through his own efforts, he will be able to build this team into a strong army.

Zheng Chenggong knew that although he had led the troops for half a year, he was still a novice in military affairs.

In order to make up for the lack of military affairs, Zheng Chenggong has been training with them every day since recruiting new soldiers.

Zheng Chenggong lived in the barracks every day, ate and drank with the soldiers, and Zheng Chenggong did what the soldiers had to train, and even did it better than them.

Now that there are few soldiers, many times Zheng Chenggong has to personally lead the army to charge into battle.

Therefore, it is necessary to exercise a body of martial arts, and at the same time, the bow and horse must be skillful and wielded with a big sword, and the spear is pierced. in order to survive in the battle, so as not to burp as soon as you appear.

Laughing off the teeth of the crossing army, he was rated as the most incompetent one.

Zheng Chenggong has not forgotten to temper himself since he crossed over.

Fortunately, this body is a small brocade cloth and jade food, and the body is very good, and he has also practiced martial arts since he was a child.

Now I have to fight hard with the Qing army, and I am even more desperate to train myself. The equestrian archery has not been broken for a day, and he has pulled up a three-stone bow and danced with a thirty-pound heavy knife.

The Ming army is also a wonder in history.

The combat effectiveness of an army is not calculated by the overall soldiers, but simply by the number of the main general's own soldiers.

The other soldiers are just a number of miscellaneous soldiers, who play soy sauce, used as a background in wartime, or as logistics soldiers, and in their spare time, they are cheap labor for generals, and they make money as coolies for the main generals.

Therefore, the Ming army was tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands were defeated by thousands of Manchu people, so that the Tartars were not satisfied with 10,000 and Manchu were invincible.

In fact, it was only after the Tartar army defeated the personal soldiers of the Ming general, and the Ming army dispersed in a hurry.

In view of the lax military order of the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the armament was not repaired, like a rabble, and the lesson of not being good at fighting.

Zheng Chenggong deeply felt that if he did not seriously strengthen the management and training of the army and reform the malpractices in military affairs, it would be impossible to defeat the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners Brigade with skilled bows and horses and strong troops, and accomplish the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, while he worked hard to train his soldiers, he was also ready to improve the organization of the army and improve its establishment. (It's the Spring Festival, the fat man is working hard to update, and I hope you can support more.) Bookmark it and get a ticket! ）
