"You once had a feared name, the Tiger Mighty Victorious Army, which is still imprinted on your shoulders, but unfortunately you have nothing but this tattoo, because you are useless, and without war you are just a bunch of waste, you can only live humbly in the barren land with a hoe, and wait to die with the grass and trees by recalling the glory of the past.

You don't have enough to eat, you don't have enough clothes.

I don't understand what it means for you to live like this, even begging for other people's scraps, and now carrying food that dogs don't want to eat, and now you're begging for other people's scraps. As he spoke, Yang Feng raised his foot and kicked a beggar's rice bowl away.

The owner of this rice bowl is a forty-five or sixteen-year-old, skinny, unkempt middle-aged man, the clothes on his body are torn into rags, but the tattoo on his shoulder is still eye-catching, this guy looked at the kicked and broken begging bowl, there was a trace of pain in his eyes, I don't know whether he was reluctant to give up his rice bowl, or was aroused.

"Now I give you a chance, a chance to change your fate, a chance to pick up your sword and gun again, and win glory and wealth with blood and killing, but not on our own land.

The outside world is very big, the outside world is full of wealth, where you will get a qiē of the conqueror, gold, beautiful women, drink wine and eat meat, kill people and set fires!

Here is a contract, here press your handprints, and you will again be professional soldiers, not for the emperor, not for generals, professional soldiers who fight only for yourself, professional mercenaries of the American company Ambrera.

One hundred taels of silver per year, an additional one hundred taels of silver before leaving, you can get half a year's vacation for every year of work, and now whoever wants to do it will come and press the handprint. Boss Yang said impassionedly.

As a result, none of the remaining 100 veterans in front of them moved, and the two sides stared at each other for a long time, and just now the beggar whispered to a person next to him in a thick Xiangxi dialect: "What is this Menggua Port?"

The guard next to him couldn't help but smile and said, "Young Master Yang, they don't understand what you say to these rough blanks, so let's say it for you."

He then yelled at the veterans, "What are you arguing about? Yang Gongzi is a distinguished guest of the governor, this time I came to you to recruit bodyguards, a salary of one hundred taels of snowflakes and silver per year, and you are allowed to come back to cao wife for half a year off, but the place is far away, you have to go to the place of foreign devils as bodyguards, and when you get there, the laws of our Qing Dynasty will not be able to lock you up, you can kill people and set fires, and whoever wants to do it will come and press the handprint. ”

"Can you grab something?" An obscene veteran shouted with green eyes.

"You can rob anyone." Yang Feng said reservedly.

"Then how do you divide the looted things?" Another guy asked.

"Five-five."

"Thirty-seven."

"Four or six at most, I have to spend money to buy you guys." Yang Feng thought to himself what kind of people were here, I don't know if he thought he had entered a bandit's den, he didn't know that this place was famous for farming during the day and doing side jobs at night.

"!" A group of veterans immediately rushed over to press their handprints, as for whether to go to a foreign country or not, they have no one to care about this, nesting in this kind of poor mountains and bad waters and waiting for death is better than going out to kill people and set fires freely, especially these guys who crawled out of the pile of dead people when they were young, they have infinite attachment to that kind of life.

"First of all, you have to obey me when you do the work for me, I give you what you want, you have to obey my command, and you have to be trained." Yang Feng stopped them and said.

"Eat your food, naturally listen to your control, if you make a mistake, you don't frown when you hit the military stick and cut off your brain, as for training or something, who wouldn't kill people and set fires?" A veteran said disdainfully.

Yang Feng smiled and waved at a bodyguard beside him, the two-meter-tall, brown bear-like Swede pulled out the C96 from his waist, raised his hand and fired four shots in a row to directly beat the four sparrows in the sky into scum, and then looked at the veterans with contempt.

A group of veterans stared at the gun in his hand like a woman.

Yang Feng motioned to give the veteran who spoke just now, this guy took the pistol, looked at it lovingly for a while, and then said with a smile on his face: "Can you change the spear?"

Yang Feng motioned to the bodyguard to give him another Li Enfield.

After understanding the use of this gun, the veteran raised his gun and aimed at a sparrow that was frightened and flew to the eaves in the distance, and with the sound of the gun, the sparrow flew away, and in the surrounding laughter, the guy held the gun and hesitated for a while, and suddenly there was a series of extremely fast shots, and four or five sparrows that had been flying in the sky disappeared in an instant.

"This foreign gun is so good, it's much stronger than when I twisted it." He said honestly.

"Keep it, you'll all have these two guns in the future." Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

Of course, he couldn't just recruit more than 100 old fellows, all the veterans who had joined Ambrera Company according to their handprints, and each of them went back to find someone, at least ten strong young men, all under the same conditions, a salary of one hundred taels of silver per year.

They must recruit their own relatives and friends, such people are united when they fight, and the combat effectiveness of the Xiao army is very large because of this, and it happens that one person leads such a team, with these veterans as the core, with two ghost officers, it can basically be used as a combat unit.

After these veterans dispersed excitedly, the Phoenix Hall Tongzhi leaned over and said cautiously: "Young Master Yang, if there are too many, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate, many of them are military households, and they are all famous in the Zhenxiao General Military Mansion and Bingbei Dao, and it is naturally not a big deal if there are less, but if there are more than 1,000 people, it will be difficult for the lower officials to take care of it."

Yang Feng looked at the guard, and the guard also nodded, Zhang Zhidong didn't know that Yang Feng was going to take away a target person, and then in his opinion, this thing was nothing more than recruiting one hundred and ten people, this amount was naturally insignificant, he asked this guard to escort under the banner of the Huguang Governor's Mansion, in fact, it was to tell the officials here, don't stop him from recruiting people, but Yang Feng wants to recruit so much, it is definitely not something he can think of.

Phoenix is a continuation of the tuntian system for hundreds of years, the common people are registered military households, belong to the green battalion, the town of the general soldier, the military road management, although at this time the green camp system has been eroded, but he wants to recruit the national defense force to himself as a mercenary, how can it be unreasonable.

"Where are the general soldiers and soldiers now?" Yang Feng asked with a deep groan.

"Both of them are stationed in Phoenix, but now they are out on patrol." The Phoenix Hall Tongzhi said.

"Then I have to invite them all, I'm the best person to make friends, and I like to spend money with my friends the most." Yang Feng said lightly.

The Phoenix Hall still doesn't understand what he means, to be honest, the green camp is not like that now, it used to be to deal with the Miao people, and now the Miao people have long been assimilated, Zhenxiao Town is already dispensable, and it is not the time to fight long hair, and it is necessary to transfer troops from Zhenxiao, that is, to maintain local security, there are not a few people at all, in fact, whether it is the general army of Zhenxiao or the soldier, they all rely on empty salaries to make money, as long as there are benefits, they will not care how many people Yang Feng takes away from here, Even if they are pulled out directly from the Green Camp Army, they will turn a blind eye.

Therefore, after each person received Yang Feng's silver ticket of 5,000 taels, the chief soldier of the town and the soldier Beidao patted their chests and promised that as long as Yang Feng was short of people in the future, even if he came to them to recruit, he would recruit as many as he wanted.

After solving this problem, under the personal control of Yang Feng, he recruited 2,000 mercenaries here at one time, and after each of them received a settlement fee of 100 taels of silver, they happily sailed out of Hunan one by one, and then went to Shanghai to be sent to Western Australia by Bofors & Co., where military training was conducted.

He didn't need to be responsible for these things, leaving twenty bodyguards, and then ruthlessly leaving Caiyi's sister in charge, and just letting her go to Western Australia with the boat to see her father, but to his surprise, Ye Zi had to stay with Caiyi, since he had to agree, it would be more reassuring to have her help, this little girl is very shrewd.

Yang Feng returned to Wuchang alone, and just arrived here and received a good news, Holland spent 50,000 pounds to buy him the official position of governor of Kuwait from the Ottoman emperor, of course, this official position was not originally there, it was specially set up for him by the emperor, and he was also given the title of Pashaluk, so now this goods can also be put on the head with a few handfuls of horsehair.

This point made him feel very emotional, it seems that these officials like to use all kinds of hair to show their identity, the Qing Dynasty used pheasant feathers, the Ottoman Empire used horse hair, cow hair, and Europeans also used bird feathers back then, are they using this special form to miss their own essence?

The cargo did not stay long in Wuhan, visited Zhang Zhidong's self-improvement army, and then left him a few bodyguards as military instructors, then immediately returned to Shanghai downstream, and then set off south, in Hong Kong to pick up about 200 newly recruited crew members and then go straight to Singapore, where the crew was sent to a merchant ship back to Europe, the Nautilus immediately sped up and went straight to the Red Sea, out of the Suez Canal and turned north to Istanbul soon after, he had to come here to accept the appointment of the Ottoman emperor in person.

At the palace of Yeldez, Yang Feng met with the Ottoman emperor Abdul. Hamid II, and from the hands of this famous tyrant in Ottoman history, who is said to have slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Armenians, took over everything that represented his identity, and from this moment on, he was the supreme ruler of the empire in Kuwait in the legal sense.

Of course, if it is to become in the actual sense, then it can only be done by cannons.
