Chapter 51: Ming Mercenaries

Due to the general famine in recent years, the north of Daming is full of hungry people, and therefore there is continuous civil unrest, which is also the current situation of Shanxi, but also the status quo of many provinces of Daming.

Recruitment is simple, but it is not easy to recruit haode soldiers, men in the prime of life are the pillars of every family, it is not really impossible to live, no one will join the army, not only the status is low, but the profession is full of dangers.

There are border walls in Shanxi, and the people are fierce, and bandits have always been rampant. Therefore, Shanxi people are never afraid to gamble, especially in this difficult period of life.

Zhou Huchen's recruitment notices are posted everywhere, and they are also very sensational, and the treatment is so generous that people can't refuse, and they are also full of human touch, as long as you sign up, you are not recruited, and Zhou Dashuai is still responsible for giving you the money to go home. When this eye-popping notice was posted, in just a few days, the news of the recruitment of brave men in Datong Province was like a flood that burst the embankment and began to spread to all directions, not to three weeks, the north of Datong Province is not counted, there is a border wall, and the Mongols are not allowed to come over now.

It is more lively than the recruitment carried out by Zhou Huchen in Baoding, only a few days after the notice was posted, it can be clearly seen that as long as there is a road, there will be people who keep running to Datong, the purpose of these people is nothing more than to eat together, and then for the ten taels of silver, and the monthly military salary undoubtedly played a great role.

He already has experience in recruitment, and this time, Zhou Huchen is very well prepared, which can be described as organized and disciplined.

Outside Zhou Yuji's camp, dozens of tables were lined up, behind the desks was a hired clerk, and behind each clerk were three soldiers, who were not only responsible for maintaining order, but also running back to help those recruits.

The recruitment was very successful, even more successful than expected, because the conditions were not harsh at all, as long as you were healthy, of the right age, and without disabilities, there was basically no problem.

Such conditions are indeed very attractive, and Zhou Huchen was a little shocked to find that there were military households to join the army. Although these people are wearing the same clothes as the common people, although they are trying their best to cover up, the difference between soldiers and ordinary people is too great, their fierce temperament is there, how can the military aura of these people hide from these recruiters who are also soldiers.

Of course, these military households are not from Shanxi, and after inquiry, they are from the northwest border wall of Shuntian Mansion, and they are from Huai'an, Wanquan, Xuanfu, Baoan, and Longmen generation.

Zhou Huchen began to hesitate, the military households in this province did not dare to come to join in the fun, whether these military households from other provinces would cause trouble, or Zhou Huchen was worried about whether they were reliable.

Just when Zhou Huchen was hesitating whether to reject these recruits from other provinces, his cousin and general Wang De came to the recruitment point with his hands behind his back and taking a figure-eight step.

"Uncle, you're here! Some things are very tricky, just point out to my little nephew, I'm too busy to faint! ”

Wang Deyong happened to have nothing to do today, and he came to see the excitement.

Among these generals, Wang Deyong and Zhou Huchen are almost the closest, since he speaks, Wang Deyong will inevitably help, although he thinks that Zhou Huchen's ability to deal with affairs is much stronger than him.

"What can stump you, little bully? Say, Uncle will give you a detailed look! ”

Zhou Huchen came to Wang Deyong, and he lowered his voice: "Some of these people who came to recruit are from other provinces, and it doesn't matter if they are from other provinces, they are used the same, but these people should be from a military family, and they should have been on the battlefield." Is it a problem to recruit these people, and are these people reliable? ”

"Oh~" Wang Deyong was not surprised, he spoke calmly: "Does Xiaohu know what an impostor is?" ”

"It's someone who uses someone else's identity to do things, I know that."

"These are impostors, soldiers in the army, they use other people's identities to recruit, and their share of military service is eaten up by the commander."

Zhou Huchen still didn't understand, and hurriedly asked: "Are these people reliable?" ”

"These are warriors, warriors who receive commissions! It depends on whether the commission you give is enough to make them work hard."

With a few words of dialogue with Wang De, this can be regarded as solving Zhou Hu's worries.

Zhou Huchen understood that these people were serious Ming soldiers, but their quotas had been replaced or had vacancies, as for the reason, it was nothing more than that these people were not satisfied with the treatment of the guard, and that little food could not support their families. To put it bluntly, these people are "mercenaries", as long as whoever gives enough commission, they will work for whom, these people are warriors who fight for life, their instant combat power does not have to worry about you, there is no strong ability, and they can't afford to be a "mercenary" of the Ming Dynasty

This is the elite person sent to the door, there is nothing to hesitate, take it all!

Zhou Huchen likes such soldiers, the soldier's immediate combat power is not so easy to cultivate, these Ming "mercenaries" may help who in the future? Now, it's back to Zhou Huchen.

Salary is not a problem, as long as they are qualified, they will be assigned to the new barracks, and they will perform well in the future, and they will be promoted. Zhou Huchen believes that as long as you trust them and let them know that they belong to this team, it won't be long before they become "your own people" completely.

As for the cavalry, Zhou Huchen even raised his hands and feet to welcome, the treatment was the same as his own cavalry, there would be no difference, Zhou Huchen would provide them with more materials and equipment.

There is no mistake in the move, and in fact, Zhou Huchen still underestimated these Ming "professional mercenaries", in the later battles, Zhou Huchen saw with his own eyes the credibility and toughness of the Ming "professional mercenaries", their combat discipline and bravery and Zhou Yuji's family, personal soldiers are no different, this is an army that never dies, the facts show that the "Ming professional mercenaries" are worthy of the word "professional".

Half a month later, Zhou Hu frantically summoned 10,000 soldiers, and as the year approached, the people who came to apply for the recruitment began to become sparse, and Zhou Huchen, who was already satisfied, terminated this year's recruitment in a timely manner.

For everyone involved in Zhou Yuji's team, this is a fat New Year, because Master Zhou is very generous, he gave everyone a surprise, as long as they are a member of this team, everyone has different rewards, including those new recruits who go home for the New Year. These recruits were to return to Datong after the year, and before they could go home, Zhou Huchen assigned them an easy task; Publicity, vigorously publicize the importance of protecting the family and defending the country, and publicize Zhou Yuji's treatment in the army.

In the words of Master Zhou, that is; Revolutionary work is red and bricks, ideological work must take the lead, and if you want to live a bright life, the road to Datong is broad and wide.
