Chapter Ninety-Four: Recruiting Guards

Two days later, Hu Li left the base camp with 300 cavalry and 40 members of the Black Rose Merchant Regiment, preparing to go to the countries of the Western Regions to sell silk and porcelain. Thirty-five soldiers were left in the base camp, plus Hu Li's three hundred cavalry helped strengthen the fortifications of the base camp in the past two days, Hu Li also left them enough arrows, and two domesticated eagles flying in the sky to reconnoiter the enemy.

It is believed that with these preparations, the base camp will not be in any danger in the face of enemies with less than 100 people, even if there are too many enemies, they can be detected in advance by the eagles and retreat from the mountain path.

After solving the worries of the base camp, Hu Li and his party came to the end of the city, Hu Li and the three hundred cavalry did not enter the city, but only let the forty members of the Black Rose Merchant Group enter the end of the city to sell silk and porcelain. At the same time, the Black Rose Merchant Group will also recruit guards in the city, and because the conditions are very favorable, there are many people who come to sign up.

The veiled black rose again followed Hu Li's instructions and selected only those young men with families to join the caravan. And before agreeing to them to join the group, he will send someone to visit them secretly to see if they are good enough to their families, if they can't even take good care of their own families, it is difficult to expect them to be loyal to the Black Rose Business Group in the future.

The Black Rose Merchant Group will move their families into the base camp for resettlement, which can be regarded as a disguised hostage-taking. Only those young people who care about their families can make them serve the merchant group and dare not have two hearts. The Black Rose told the young people who were chosen that as long as their families in the base camp could do what they could, the Black Rose would ensure that their families were fed and clothed.

In this land of the Western Regions, where wars are frequent and the land is barren, not only can they have food and wages, but they can also have enough food and clothing for their families who lack the means to make a living, so what can those young people hesitate about. As for why they believe in the Black Rose Merchants, the reason is very simple.

One is because they have nothing left, and there is nothing worth deceiving the Black Rose Merchant Group. The second was that they saw that the forty members of the Black Rose Merchant were all well-armed, and that they had just sold those silks and porcelain. The jaw-dropping amount of money and supplies they received was enough to prove that the Black Rose Merchant was capable of fulfilling the promise they had just made to them.

Due to the harsh requirements for the Black Rose Merchant Group to recruit guards, only more than 30 people were recruited in the end of the city on the first day, but in line with Hu Lining's requirement of not being overloaded, the Black Rose Merchant Group stayed in the end city for five days before returning to the base camp with the more than 100 guards recruited and nearly 300 of their families.

In this process, Hu Li has been leading 300 cavalry to be stationed more than 20 miles away from the end of the city, closely watching the possible enemy situation through the golden eagle in the sky. On the way back to the base camp, Hu Li and the three hundred cavalry escorted the team for more than ten miles, during which they sent several teams that wanted to follow the Black Rose merchant group to their base camp.

These ranks include young people who are resentful of not being selected to join the Black Rose Merchant Order, and there are also people sent by the authorities in the last city to spy on information. If there was no Hu Li and the three hundred cavalry to sweep the tail work, the base camp of the Black Rose Merchant Group would definitely be targeted by these well-intentioned people, and then the Black Rose Merchant Group could only shrink to the base camp to carry out defense work, which was contrary to Hu Li's original intention.

After sending the tails away, Hu Li and the three hundred cavalry also returned to the base camp of the Black Rose Merchant Order, although the appearance of Hu Li and the others caused a little panic among the newly recruited young men and their families. But after Black Rose's loud explanation, the men fell silent.

After learning that these three hundred Han talents were the biggest supporters of the Black Rose Merchant Group, these young people accepted this fact after being silent for a while. After all, their families are all here, and they can't act too impulsively because they care about their families very much, and there are many countries in the Western Regions, and annexation wars between countries are also very frequent, which leads to these young people's sense of the country is very weak.

In addition, Hu Li told them that he and others just wanted to reopen the Silk Road in the Western Regions, and did not have the idea of invading the Western Regions, so their resistance was much weaker, after all, the reopening of the Silk Road also had a great effect on the prosperity of the Western Regions.

Seeing that these people no longer seemed to resist Hu Li and the others' Han identity, Black Rose ordered someone to take out the prepared wine and food, and the eyes of the young people and their families who looked at Hu Li and the others after eating and drinking became much softer.

Seeing that things were going so smoothly, Hu Li couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that he had made the right move to let Black Rose come forward. If Hu Li's 300 people went directly into the city, it is estimated that there would be no problem after selling porcelain and silk. After all, Hu Li's 300 men were all elite cavalry, and they were well-equipped, with enough force to deter and the huge profits brought by the two scarce goods of porcelain and silk, and those profit-seeking merchants and those in power would definitely leave behind their national prejudices and Hu Li to trade, and the Loulan Trade Conference was a successful example.

However, Hu Li and others can only trade goods, if Hu Li wants to recruit people, it is estimated that no matter how generous the conditions are, people will hesitate, and the estrangement between different ethnic groups is not so easy to eliminate.

Maybe Hu Li and the others can spend months to eliminate these barriers and get the approval of the people of the end city, but what Hu Li lacks most now is time. Maybe it's just that everything is difficult at the beginning, and it will get smoother and smoother in the future, but after all, it is not as convenient and fast as the natives of the Western Regions such as the Black Rose Business Group.

Moreover, with the mediation of the Black Rose Business Group, it is easier for Hu Li and others to be recognized by these young people and their families, which can save Hu Li a lot of time, and Hu Li's trip to the Western Regions can also be accelerated a lot.

At the welcome banquet in the evening, Black Rose took off her black veil, and the little bird sat down beside Hu Li like a human. The Black Rose's peerless face quickly attracted the attention of those young people. The people of the Western Regions have always admired martial arts, and many young people challenged Hu Li, who was sitting next to their goddess, through wine.

Hu Li knew that he would not be able to really convince these young people without showing a few hands, so Hu Li went to the field to compete with them. Although Hu Li's foot combat is a weak point, Hu Li's physical fitness is there, and these young people will be defeated one after another after a while.

Moreover, Hu Li has the super recovery ability of the King Kong Solid Pill, and has a tendency to become more and more courageous the more he fights, and he has taught the more than 100 young people one after another when he is drunk. Sure enough, the hard fist is the truth, and the eyes of the more than 100 young people looking at Hu Li were less hostile and more respectful. Seeing these changes, Hu Li couldn't help but cry out happily, and he taught them a hearty lesson and subdued them, how could this not be a happy thing.
