Chapter 47 Dismissal

(New books for recommendation, collection!) The support of my friends is my biggest motivation! Please, please, and thank you very much! )

The first Zhang Renjie is to ask that there can be no crow-sucking. Filmmaker. There are a large number of officers and soldiers in the Green Battalion who smoke crows. film, although "smoking" has been banned since the time of Emperor Yongzheng, but it is banned more and more, the reason is that the government does not ban "smoking" effectively, and the other reason is that officials also smoke crows. film, even the martial arts-based officers suck . Poison. Of the 80 people in front of me, 20 of them are old "Smoke" guns, and they know at a glance that they are smokers of "Smoke" all year round. It is no wonder that Lin Zexu was angry a few decades ago and said, "There are few soldiers in the Central Plains who can resist the enemy."

The second intolerable is gambling, which has appeared in the army, and the danger is no less than that of smoking crows. Slice. Gambling will cause the soldier to degenerate quickly, and Radu will not be able to pull back. Think about it, even in the 21st century, there are countless gamblers who have gotten out of their money to fight the fire, and countless of them have finally gone bankrupt. It's a pity that Qiying, who manages the commander of the infantry army, openly supports gambling. In the past two years, a thousand total managers in Zhejiang gambled and even pressed their own concubines, and when they lost again, they actually led troops to duel with the other party.

And gambling has caused the rise of the industry, and officers like to accompany them, guide staff officers, or take chips. Some of the bold officers even opened the gambling game in the camp, and when they saw the soldiers on the school field shouting for gambling money, they knew that gambling in the army was commonplace. Zhang Renjie is also worried about this, so gamblers must not stay.

Needless to say, the third article is to blackmail the people, such a person can never be retained, the people are already poor, and they still harass him, and it is already extraordinarily generous for such a soldier not to kill him. There are also some people in the green battalion who are not qualified to be soldiers at the beginning of the fight, and after obtaining military service, they hire poor people into the camp to do errands instead of them, which is the most common in the Eight Banners. There have long been people in society who specialize in serving as errands in the barracks, just as part-time workers are now working for employers under the bridge. These also need to be eliminated.

There were two heads on the side, and the green battalion soldiers did not dare to take chances, and after about five minutes, a few people finally walked to the left, and then there were more and more. Another five minutes passed, and no one walked over again. Counting the number of people, there are only six people left. Only six people meet the above four conditions, and they have not even reached one-tenth. Smoking "cigarettes", gambling money, blackmailing people and being hired to work as errands accounted for more than ninety percent, which really opened Zhang Renjie's eyes.

The recruitment of soldiers in the green battalion would not have been like his recruitment of regimental training battalions, and there were almost no scholars in it, and people who read should not be soldiers. In addition, peasants who are very honest do not serve as soldiers, and as long as they live a decent life, peasants who make a living from farming are usually reluctant to serve as soldiers. Finally, industrial and commercial handicraftsmen do not serve as soldiers, these people have their own crafts, rely on their crafts to eat, or go to the north and south to do business, have seen some of the world, and have a working head, and they are not willing to be soldiers.

As a result, the main source of soldiers in the Green Battalion has become idlers, bankrupts from all walks of life, and those who have already discharged from the army. They regard serving as soldiers as a means of earning a living, and when these people are lax in management, their bad habits can easily flare up and become a cancer in society. When recruiting soldiers, the Renzi battalion was much stricter, and all those who had bad habits were excluded. Of course, there are also a small number of people who are idle, but they are recruited only because they are in good health. But Zhang Renjie is not worried, his military discipline is strict, and no one dares to violate military rules during strict training all day long. If he really discovers that such bad habits begin to breed in the army, he will definitely eliminate them by thunderous means, and he will not be merciless.

"Yes, there are at least six people, and there is a boss among them, which is rare! Looking at your previous table, this official still thinks that there is not a single one left! As you can see, all six of you are honest people, but I like honest people. From now on, you will be my subordinates, and in two days you will train with the brothers I have brought, and I promise that soon you will be reborn as a qualified and excellent soldier. "Zhang Renjie is not angry anymore, it is really not worth it to be angry with the people below." The other seventy-four people, all sent home, don't have to come back! ”

"My lord, you are so unruly, we are all soldiers of the imperial court, and you have no right to dismiss us. Besides, when we leave the barracks, what do we eat and drink, and what do we feed the family?! The leader of the previous speech shouted again. He didn't want to leave, but he was also a general, the size was a seven-grade military attaché, he got a lot of military salaries, and he also had his share of the empty quota, so he was willing to leave the barracks for a leisurely day.

Zhang Renjie smiled: "If you don't leave, I'll go back and check the camp affairs thoroughly, if you find a problem, don't blame me for being ruthless!" After speaking, Zhang Renjie also ignored him, and continued to say to the other Green Battalion soldiers: "For others who leave, I will give everyone a severance pay of ten taels of silver, and give you to go back to do some small business or something, and life will be better." But I advise, don't take it to gamble, I hate gambling the most! ”

"Oh, there is another one, dismissal of you is not a permanent dismissal, your roster is still here, and the official has no right to destroy it. Otherwise, after I transfer Anton in a year or two, you can come back, after all, the next Du Sike will still use you. But until then, don't get in my way, one by one. Now hurry back and pack your belongings, and then come here right now to get the money and get out!" After saying that, Zhang Renjie turned around and left, really didn't want to see this gang of waste materials anymore.

In the afternoon, Zhang Renjie carefully inspected the barracks, and after finishing it, he went to the Yamen of the Capital Division to summon the scribes in the yamen and the clerks who managed the warehouse. The army is no better than the county government, there are many kinds of documents there, and a large number of scribes and clerks are needed to help deal with it, and all the affairs are controlled by them. Because none of those county magistrates and mansions will do such things, and they don't know much about the doorways. All of them are stupid to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and the local government affairs have to rely on these scribes.

But the officials who arrive will generally hire their own masters, and these masters are oriented towards themselves, equivalent to staff, and they can also resist the scribes below so that they dare not do anything. And Zhang Renjie didn't bring the two clerks in the camp when he first arrived, not to mention, he also has to reserve talents now, if there are any available among these people, then he must stay, and the team will continue to grow in the future, and there will be more talents needed.

With the bodies of the two team officers on the side, these seventy or so people no longer dared to talk nonsense, and honestly went back to pack their bags. In fact, most of them are locals, and there are not many things in the barracks, and it only takes a few minutes to clean them up.

As for leaving the barracks, the vast majority of people did not show reluctance. Originally, they were just messing around, and there was not much money on weekdays, and the Chen Dusi above was always in arrears, and he would deduct it. However, the newcomer gave ten taels of silver at once, which is not a small amount, and if you don't gamble or prostitute, it will be enough for the average family to spend two years. But how many of these are honest people? Prostitution, gambling, and smoking account for one-third, and the first two account for more than two-thirds.

But Zhang Renjie has already given the silver, and he doesn't care what these people do when they turn around. As long as these people leave the barracks, they don't get in the way of his eyes. Zhang Renjie had already sent a soldier back to Zhangjiazhuang to report the news, and the two companies came over first, packed up, and arrived in three days at most.

However, in order not to be too public, Zhang Renjie also ordered everyone to disperse into ten groups and set off on different paths, and the guns, grain, and grass were slowly transported by boat. Fortunately, Huai'an has a well-developed water system, and a salt river connects Qingjiangpu and Andong, so it is most convenient to transport goods by ship.

The two companies of 300 people did not come from the nearest Qinghe County, so many people have passed with great fanfare, and people will think that you are here to attack the city. Although Qinghe County is not big, it is not small, but there are still a lot of soldiers in it, there are more than 100 people under the inspection of the sect, and there are 300 people under the jurisdiction of Huaiyang Daodaotai, and there are more than 500 troops stationed at Qingjiangpu Wharf, that is, the army that protects Caoyun, which belongs to the Yamen of the governor of Caoyun. Although Caoyun has declined, it has not been abolished after all. With so many soldiers and horses, who dares to move?
