As captives, they already thought of their end the moment they surrendered......

If you're lucky, you can still be released by the Haw Par Army...... If you're unlucky, you'll be a free slave for the Haw Par Army for the rest of your life.

So, they don't have any hope for their future. And this, after they were captured, they maintained a very indifferent expression on their faces from beginning to end......

Of course, indifference does not mean that they do not care about their own small ......

Xiao Dan is right, the reason why they are soldiers and eat food, do this kind of profession that may lose their heads at any time. The most critical and only reason is that for their own family to have a bite to eat!

However, with the capture of his own life by the Tiger and Leopard Army, his family's source of livelihood was directly cut off......

When they first started being captured, they were sure of it. Even if they were captured or even died here, the compensation from the imperial court to their families was enough for them to live a good life in peace and stability for several years.

However, Xiao Dan's criticism of the court's usual practices directly shattered the dream in their hearts and reminded them of the various bad deeds that the court had treated them.

After it was over, the face that was still very indifferent just now had unconsciously revealed a heartfelt expression of worry, worried about the future of his distant family......

Xiao Dan, the head of the regiment, saw the facial expressions of hundreds of captives gradually moving. A smile quickly flashed across his face.

After quickly sorting out the thoughts in his mind, he continued: "Ben Jiang can now see from your faces that you are all flesh and blood men, and you can not only kill enemies on the battlefield. He is also a big husband who can think about the family...... For this. Even if you are the general's former enemy. Ben will also admire your ......" "Ben will until, everyone must be very worried about their own family now...... However, one worry is not enough. For your little family needs money to feed you, and you want to know that you are alive...... And now, Ben will give you a chance to continue to live and feed your own family. I don't know if you can hold on to ......."

Xiao Dan's words were like a stimulant, which directly rekindled a glimmer of hope on everyone's worried faces.

More than 600 captives, more than 600 pairs of eyes full of heat, looked at Xiao Dan at the same time, waiting for Xiao Dan to follow.

Xiao Dan didn't make them wait too long......

Pointing to the ten big boxes beside him, he said, "Everyone has seen these boxes!" Say unto you, these chests are full of silver...... A full fifty thousand taels of silver...... As long as everyone is willing to join the Haw Par Army and fight for the Haw Par Army, this 50,000 taels of silver. It's everyone's ......" "Now, Ben will decide. Those who are willing to join the Haw Par Army will receive a settling-in allowance of 50 taels of silver per person...... After joining the Haw Par Army, the rank of sergeant will pay everyone a military salary, six taels of silver per month, and no deduction ......will be made" "Of course, if you join the Haw Par Army and unfortunately die on the battlefield, the Haw Par Army will directly compensate your family with at least 150 taels of silver, all of which will be delivered to your family in full...... Of course, after joining the Haw Par Army, as long as you want, you can also bring your family members to the Haw Par Army-controlled area, and the Haw Par Army will distribute land ...... to everyone according to the number of your family members" "Because you are Haw Par Army soldiers, your family members can reduce the tax on several loads of food every year......"

Whether it is a settling-in allowance of fifty taels of silver, or a military salary of six taels of silver per month...... These are all treatments that they cannot enjoy in the new army of the imperial court

Therefore, as soon as Xiao Dan's words were finished, the expectation on everyone's faces was replaced by the heat. I can't wait to join the Haw Par Army right away.

However, at this time, they still have a trace of concern in their hearts.

If the court knew about it, they were captured by the Haw Par Army and worked for the Haw Par Army. Will their family members under the control of the imperial court be affected by their own choices and be questioned by the imperial court for rebellion......

Xiao Dan, who was standing in front of everyone, seemed to see the care in everyone's hearts.

After some contemplation, he continued: "If you can take the initiative to join the Haw Par Army, the Haw Par Army will relieve you of all your worries...... When the time comes, our Tiger and Leopard Army will declare the city to the outside world, and all the soldiers of the new army defending Qingchuan County will be wiped out, and no one will be alive...... In this way, the imperial court will not know about your joining the Haw Par Army......"

"And you, after the battle, can also move your small family into the province controlled by the Haw Par Army......"

"When the time comes, if nothing else, your monthly salary will be enough for your family to no longer go hungry......"

As soon as Xiao Dan's words were finished, a middle-aged man among the captives stood up and shouted loudly: "Lao Tzu will follow the Tiger and Leopard Army today...... Anyway, they are all soldiers and eat food, why don't you follow the Haw Par Army, which has better salaries......"

After speaking, the man knelt down in front of Xiao Dan on one leg and said loudly: "My lord, as long as what you just said is true, my life will be sold to the Tiger and Par Army......"

"Good ......" For the first one to take the lead, Xiao Dan must of course take care of it.

Jumped out of the wooden box, picked up the man, and replied loudly: "Very good, the Haw Par Army has accepted you...... Chief of Staff, bring fifty-six taels of silver to the general...... Fifty taels of settling-in allowance, six taels of silver for the first month's salary, will be given to you now......

After a handful of several ingots of silver were delivered to the man by Xiao Dan himself, the eyes of the more than six hundred captives standing behind the man began to shoot out one after another full of scorching essence light.

Subsequently, the second, the third...... The captives, without the slightest hesitation, stood up one after another and asked to join the Haw Par Army.

The final result was that more than 600 captives joined the Haw Par Army......

Looking at the more than six hundred captives who held the silver in front of them, they once again regained their self-confidence. On the face of the head of the regiment, Xiao Dan, directly revealed a smile from the heart.

Then, he asked the chief of staff beside him: "How about it, can these six hundred recruits still be included in your speech .......as chief of staff?"

The chief of staff replied without thinking: "Of course, these more than 600 people are the elite of the imperial court training for a year. If we can't get into my eyes, we won't lose so many soldiers in the whole siege battle? ”

"These people are well-trained and have combat experience, and it is no exaggeration to describe them as veterans. I'm sure that in just two days they will be four well-trained musket companies......"

Xiao Dan nodded and affirmed: "Since this is the case, I will hand over these people to you, the chief of staff...... In order to make the troops as effective as possible, I built a yì and mixed ...... with our troops" (to be continued......
