Chapter 64: Xiang Jie's parting last
Today is the first day of departure, and the recruitment and other things are basically completed, until later, there is also a not too bad start.
This time, I took the opportunity to recruit troops, and a total of hundreds of people were recruited. In this way, the whole battalion will look a little bit weaker, and it will not be as thin as before.
The whole army, consisting of more than 200 people, took a military train from Baoding, crowded in a few carriages, and marched southward, according to the above arrangement, they were about to arrive at Zhang Xun's department in Xuzhou and listen to his orders.
In fact, Han Zheng was still a little surprised when he thought of the recruitment in the past two days.
At that time, looking at the situation on the first day, I thought that I would not recruit too many soldiers this time, and it was estimated that there were about forty people at most.
But Han Zheng didn't expect that not long after Han Zheng arranged for Wang Xian and Li Feng to arrive at the recruitment office, more than ten people came over in bursts, slowly more and more, and after adding them up, there were nearly 200 people who were going to sign up yesterday, which was more than the original number of veterans!
At this time, Han Zheng knew that under the hype of Han Qiang and the five or six soldiers who went home, it was the effect of showing up.
What Han Zheng didn't expect was that the biggest effect was the big cake he handed over to Han Qiang at noon that day, which made Han Zheng sigh his luck.
According to Han Zheng's requirements, only one hundred and eight recruits were selected, and they were all young men.
As for the city, there were not many people who came to answer the call, a total of more than a dozen people came, but Han Zheng didn't ask for any of them. It's not that Han Zheng is biased or anything, it's really that most of the more than ten people who came here are street gangsters who are eating and waiting to die in the city.
Han Zheng asked his subordinates to roughly check the behavior of these people on weekdays, he really didn't dare to ask for these gangsters, he was about to go to the battlefield, Han Zheng didn't dare to take risks in this regard, if it was any other time, Han Zheng was not worried about these people making trouble, he believed that he could cure these people.
But at this time, there are still so many recruits under his command who have not even been on the battlefield, how can they waste time on these people, so everyone has maintained a high degree of consistency in this regard, and they all support Han Zheng's decision.
Although these more than a dozen people complained a little and even wanted to make trouble at the recruitment office, when they saw the soldiers at the recruitment site standing with loaded guns and looking at them coldly, they had to leave in a stupid and unwilling manner.
The rest of the people are all from the countryside, and there are even fathers and sons who come to serve as soldiers, but there are very few real only seedlings and parents at home, and people nowadays still attach great importance to filial piety, "Parents are here, not far away." This sentence is not just talking.
In the end, Han Zheng sent some older ones, and finally left behind the one hundred and eight people who followed. Of course, this also includes Zhou Liangfeng, who is the little Fengzi everyone calls.
More than 100 people came down and spent more than 1,000 yuan of dragon yuan to settle in, although Han Zheng attached importance to money, but he would not break his promise and enrich himself, and added the above subsidies to the more than 100 yuan extorted, and the funds in the camp, so that the money was enough.
And when Han Zheng reported these soldiers, it was rare for him to be generous, and he paid the soldiers under him for three months, plus more than 200 recruits.
Therefore, although more than 1,000 yuan was spent, but now there are nearly 10,000 yuan in total after adding the promotion fee and the military salary received yesterday, for the military salary issued in advance, Han Zheng and the others will of course not be naΓ―ve enough to pay it all at once, but decided to prepare to receive the salary of the soldiers on a monthly basis, and the battalion will be responsible for distributing it at the end of each month.
Just when Han Zheng was looking towards these, Xiang Jie walked over, approached Han Zheng and said, "Battalion commander, let's be good, hehe." β
At that time, Han Zheng knew what the other party meant, and he felt funny when he thought about it, this kid really went to the city gates yesterday to blackmail, and he didn't go in the name of his own camp.
Yesterday, Han Zheng originally thought that he would let the other party be in charge of the selection of officers with him, but who knew that this kid still remembered this kind of thing of blackmail, and said to himself that there was an urgent matter and he wanted to go back to the city.
At that time, I thought that the other party had found a good match in the city and wanted to say goodbye before leaving, but I didn't think much about it at the time, so I agreed.
However, at that time, I would never have thought that the other party would go back to do blackmail!
It wasn't until later, who knew that he had been working here for a long time before the officer was settled, and Xiang Jie came back before the city gate closed at night, and his face was full of red light.
At that time, I was still thinking about laughing, but who knew that this kid was sneakily pulling himself into the room.
And the other party didn't eat anything, so he asked Bao's subordinates, who were also blushing, to go back first, and before Han Zheng asked, he couldn't help but say excitedly.
"Battalion commander, you don't know, today we have a long experience, hehe." After saying this, Xiang Jie himself first smirked, ignoring Han Zheng, who was puzzled next to him, and then said: "We made a lot of money with our brothers today, and the battalion commander's method is really good." β
Han Zheng was puzzled at first, but then slowly came back to his senses.
The other party is "long-term knowledge" and "making a lot of money", and finally came to the sentence "The battalion commander's method is really good", although the other party said something that has no beginning or end, but Han Zheng couldn't hear it at this time, thinking about the other party's unwilling look yesterday, he finally knew what the other party was doing.
In the end, under Han Zheng's repeated inquiries, Xiang Jie honestly told the whole process.
It turns out that Xiang Jie, although he is excited to blackmail, his brain is more flexible, and he seems to have some talent in doing this business=.
At that time, after Xiang Jie and Han Zheng asked for leave, they took their subordinates, first from the east gate, and went in a big way, sat down under the shed built by the other party, pinned their legs, and squinted at a small soldier left behind by the other party.
The other party was uncomfortable when he looked at him, but looking at his posture, he didn't dare to be angry, so he had to arch his hand forward and say, "I don't know what the military master commands?" β
Xiang Jie didn't say a word, he made the first move, and when he went up, he slapped him and said angrily: "What can you know about my affairs?" If you talk more, be careful that Lao Tzu will kill you. β
It can be seen from this that Xiang Jie's acting skills are better than Han Zheng's, and a group of subordinates put the gun in their hands and cooperated with Xiang Jie.
This little soldier was probably blinded by this slap, and he didn't react for a long time, and Xiang Jie saw that the other party didn't react, but he continued to play the trick.
"Why don't you go and get your heads? Lao Tzu worked hard to go to the battlefield, but he still has to suffer this sin, grandma's! β
When the little soldier heard this, he reacted, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly ran out.
