Chapter 124: Refugee Camps

At dawn the next day, after breakfast, Qin Du led a hundred or so energetic soldiers and officers to the refugee area near the south of the city to recruit soldiers.

These soldiers and officers were all excited about Qin Duan's promise, and they got up early in the morning, all dressed up carefully, and they all looked in good spirits.

The refugee camp in the southern suburbs of the capital is the only place in the imperial capital where refugees who have fled from other places gather, and most of the thieves, hooligans and refugees are planned by the officers and soldiers of the empire in this area, becoming the most ugly place in the imperial capital.

As soon as Qin Duan and his soldiers stepped into this area, they could ask about a disgusting musty smell rushing to their faces, and everywhere they looked were some refugees in ragged clothes, not so much refugees as beggars.

"My lord, are you really going to recruit soldiers here, look at these people, they look like they can't support the wall with mud, and recruiting them back may just be a waste of food, I really can't see what they can do to fight?"

Liang Qiming, the commander of the thousand men standing on the side, covered his nose and wondered, this Liang Qiming was from a noble background, so he had never been to such a refugee camp.

"Hehe, you are wrong about this, these refugees look yellow and thin, all because they have not eaten enough, if they are fed, coupled with reasonable training, then they will definitely be the elite of the army in the future."

Speaking of this, seeing that there was no one on the side, he said to Liang Qiming in a low voice: "Except for these refugees who can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, who is willing to go with us to that place in the northwest to adventure, be content." ”

"That's what my lord said."

Liang Qiming thought about it and felt that Lord Qin was right, except for these refugees who were not well fed and clothed, there was really no one who was willing to go to that place in the northwest to die.

"You know, these refugees are willing to work hard for you, because they have no home behind them, and there is no one who cares about them, as long as you are willing to put down your identity to care for them, they will definitely be loyal to you for the rest of your life. That's why I chose them. Also, now it's only a few days or two before departure, and there is no chance to train at all, and I have to worry about them violating discipline and so on. Rather than trying to get some regular soldiers, these people are obviously easier to control. ”

Qin Duan said as he came to lead everyone to a group of refugees, leaned down and helped an old man lying on the ground.

Some soldiers set up their stalls and began to distribute some of the food and dry food that Qin had arranged for the refugees to buy from the bazaar yesterday.

Qin Du took the wheat cake from a soldier and gave it to the old refugee beside him, and then straightened his throat and shouted to the group of refugees who had crowded over to receive the goods: "Fathers and fellow villagers of the Great Qin Empire! Today, I, Qin Dusk, the county guard of Tokugawa County in the northwest of the Great Qin Empire, distribute food here. We offer quality wheat cakes, fresh pork, and quilts...... I believe that everyone can get temporary food and clothing. But this is only the abundance of the day, and momentary happiness does not mean eternity. A plate of pork is delicious, but it's not enough to fill your stomach. ”

Qin Dui used the true qi obtained from cultivating the "King Kong Decision" in his body, and his voice spread far away in this refugee area, full of warm voices, and reached everyone's ears.

I know that many of you are young and promising Zhuang people, and I believe that as long as you are willing to work hard, everyone will have a bright future. But I don't understand why you spend all day in this place where only rats do, do you really want to do that? Haven't you ever thought about going out and making a name for yourself to become a hero for future generations to worship? ”

……

"Hmph, my lord, we are all homeless refugees, the empire has never cared about us, and we can only rely on some well-wishers in the city to live here with handouts and temporary labor, and there are no officials in the imperial court who care about our life or death."

After a long silence, the old refugee spoke, his tone full of helplessness and unwillingness, and a desire for survival and a better life.

……

"Yes, no one has ever taken care of us at all, we sometimes can't eat for days, and even the gods despise us as a group of troubled people."

"Who doesn't want to have a good life to live and a goal to work for, but we don't, no one has ever given me any chance."

……

A burst of uneven voices immediately sounded, some people scolded indignantly, some people agreed on the sidelines, and even some people didn't even bother to speak, just took the food and hid under the broken tent on the side and began to eat.

A few non-commissioned officers around Qin Du were about to go out to shut up these people, but they were stopped by him, he knew that these people had always accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with the empire in their hearts, and it was rare to have an opportunity for them to vent today...... So Qin Duan just quietly listened to their bitter complaints.

……

"Your Excellency, you are a good person, and we are very grateful that you have thought of us hungry rats in your busy time."

"Yes, thank you very much, although I don't know what you did for this purpose, but at least you saved many refugees who are going to starve to death today."

"If the officials and those nobles of the Great Qin Dynasty are like you, we don't have to worry about life at all."

……

"Guys, please stop and listen to me!"

When these refugees were almost talking, Qin Duan spoke up again, and a powerful voice immediately interrupted many people to speak.

"Opportunity! It's usually up to you. I don't want to be a senseless temptation, Qin Dusk, the county guard of Tokugawa County in the northwest, the day after tomorrow, I will go to the northwest to take up my post, and the imperial court granted me the right to recruit soldiers, so I took my soldiers here to hold a soldier recruitment ceremony. ”

Qin Duan paused, and looked at everyone below with a terrifying look in his eyes, "I hope to recruit some brave soldiers here." You might as well make it clear that this trip to the northwest is absolutely dangerous, and the road ahead is also very difficult, but I can guarantee that as long as you follow me and get through these difficult days, your future will be very ambitious. ”

"If you want to have meat to eat every day, to have a family, to achieve fame, then you are welcome to join us. Again, all we need is a group of brave soldiers, a group of soldiers who are at the mercy of whatever I send them, regardless of their origin, strength, or appearance, and most importantly, they must have what a man should have - there is a kind! ”

"Of course, this trip is full of crises, for the sake of everyone, I only recruit soldiers over thirteen years old and under forty years old, if you are willing to come out, come to my side to sign up."

Many pairs of eyes underneath flashed with an impulsive look, but then dimmed. Most of them are relatively young and strong young refugees, obviously, everyone is not a fool, they know that this is a matter of life, there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason, since this Lord Qin came to the refugee camp to recruit these people as soldiers, this trip to the northwest must be more auspicious, you must know that among these refugees, some of them have fled from the northwest, let them return to the northwest, many people are unwilling to do so.

"Didn't you just make a noise that no one gave you a chance, why, now someone has given you a chance, but one by one has become dumb? Do you really want to be like a bastard hiding in this ditch for the rest of your life until the end of your life? Although I don't know why Lord Qin chose you without the regular army, I just want to say that you are a group of poor people with little eyes. ”

Staring at these refugees who didn't say a word, Liang Qiming, who was standing beside Qin Du, couldn't help but sneer coldly.

After waiting for a while, Liang Qiming continued, "Think it all out for yourself, the opportunity is up to you!" Miss today, and I'm sure you'll regret it for the rest of your life. ”

……

"My lord, can a woman join the army?" A girl in tattered clothes with a dirty face asked in the crowd.

Qin Dui's eyes followed the direction of the voice, and saw a girl with a dirty face that was too dirty to see clearly, and after thinking about it, she said, "Yes, as long as you have never given birth to a child, you can be between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five." ”

Although female soldiers in the Great Qin Empire are rarely seen, it does not mean that there are no female soldiers, according to Qin Dui's understanding, the empire has a legion composed of all female soldiers, called the Fengwu Legion, and the marshal of this legion is also a woman, known as Yu Fengwu, one of the three beauties of the Great Qin Empire.

The twenty-five-year-old Yu Fengwu is known as the strongest woman in Eurasia, and at the age of fifteen, she led the army on behalf of her father, and in the north of the empire, the Xiongnu became famous in all directions, and the Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance Array was created to defeat the enemy army.

Then he won three battles and three victories, and the northern power Xiongnu was so powerless that he had no choice but to sign the alliance under the city. The northern frontier of the Great Qin Empire has been safe and sound, but in order to deter the northern powers and make them dare not wave their troops south, Yu Fengwu and her Fengwu army have been stationed in the north for many years.

"My lord, do you have a pay to be a soldier?" A man in his thirties, with a thin yellow face, asked timidly.

"Yes, just like the army in the imperial capital, ordinary soldiers will never deduct three taels of silver a month, and they will definitely not be deducted, if anyone dares to deduct military salaries, they will be decided."

Qin Duan said loudly, the army is one of the foundations of a country's stability, this is very clear to Qin Duan, deducting the salary of the soldiers of the army is undoubtedly self-destruction, so Qin Duan will never allow anyone to deduct the silver sound of his army, if anyone dares to deduct it, it will take someone's life.

"My lord, can I bring my wife with me to join the army?" A man who looked to be in his twenties asked.

"Yes, as long as you don't join the army with minor children, it's okay, your wife must be incorporated into the women's army, and the army has military rules, once you join the army, you husband and wife are not allowed to meet without the consent of the officer."

Qin Duan replied, for this kind of husband and wife soldiers, Qin Duan is not rejected, after all, this is also conducive to the cohesion of the army.
