Chapter 110: Recruitment Essay
August 20th, today is a very important day for Border City, because today is the day for Border City County to recruit soldiers.
On August 19, the day after Zhang Tie left Biancheng County, Zhang Shun promulgated the order to recruit soldiers, and publicized it throughout Biancheng County.
[Recently, in the border city and county, there are bandits doing evil, and there are barbarians disturbing the border, but the county has ordered Lord Zhang to get rid of the thieves on the tenth day of his appointment, but there are still foreign enemies looking around and threatening the safety of the county people, so they set up a list to recruit troops.
I hope that all the strong men in the county will resist the enemy outside the door together with us, so that the wives and children at home can farm with peace of mind during the day and sleep at night.
Defend the family and the country, make meritorious contributions, a good man should be like this!
Today, 600 soldiers are recruited, the monthly ration is one or two feet of silver, a number of rice noodles, two taels of silver per month in wartime, and another reward for killing the enemy.
The recruiting site is outside the North Gate, and the time is 20 to 30 days.
Border City County Lieutenant Liu Yixi】
Whether it is in the county or in the countryside, Zhang Shun specially sent people to convey it. The content conveyed is naturally different from the essay, it is all vernacular, and what is needed is to let the people understand.
"Today's situation is uneven, there are wicked people and bandits working together to do evil, and there are Mongolians and Koreans who are eyeing us and trying to cut off a piece of flesh on us."
"Now that the bandits in the county have been exterminated, we can't relax our vigilance, there are still two vicious wolves outside the country drooling, watching us from the side, and they will come over at any time to bite us and eat our flesh! Drink the blood from us! ”
"For this reason, the county commander Zhang and the county lieutenant Liu issued an official document together, recruited soldiers, resisted foreign enemies outside the door, defended the border city county, and protected their families."
"All soldiers who are recruited shall be given one tael of silver per month, which shall be doubled in wartime, and now they shall be paid once in the first month, and then once every three months, and those who are wounded and can no longer fight, shall be given two taels of silver, and those who are killed in battle shall be given three taels of silver to their families."
"The application period starts on August 20 and ends on August 30. The place of application is outside the north gate of Biancheng County. ”
An official document instantly caused a storm, and the entire border city and county, whether it was the streets and alleys, or the countryside and mountains, were discussing the conscription document issued this time.
Next to the well, two men fetch water while discussing the conscription document issued by the prefectural order.
The man with the water asked the people waiting on the side, "Xiao Ming, what do you think about tomorrow's conscription?" Go to participate? ”
Xiao Ming replied helplessly: "I, hey, I am now the only seedling in the family, the eldest brother and the second brother have been killed one after another, and there are no children under my knees, I want to go, but my mother will definitely not let me go, and I have to leave some fire for the family first." ”
The person who fetched the water nodded understandingly, he also had some understanding of the situation of Xiao Ming's family, in this worldview of no filial piety and no queen, Xiao Ming's situation was in the border city and county.
"I won't say much about the situation in your family, hey, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read."
"Third Brother Wan, will you participate in this conscription?"
Wan San replied affirmatively: "Of course, now that the county order has paid so much to us, it is time for me to repay him." ”
Wan San had an expression of admiration on his face, and Xiao Ming, who was carrying the bucket, also had an expression of agreement and admiration.
The matter of exterminating the bandits made the people in the border city and county very supportive of Zhang Shun, as long as it was within their ability, they would do it.
The conversation between the two by the well is like a microcosm of this border county, everyone wants to contribute to the border city and county, and make a contribution to the new county commander Zhang Shun.
And on this day, outside the north gate of Biancheng County, a group of soldiers were cutting down trees, bulldozing some raised stones and soil, and some soldiers were carrying wood, under the guidance of several craftsmen, placed on the bulldozed ground.
This place, officially the place where soldiers will be recruited tomorrow, and what these soldiers are doing now is to build a new stronghold on this land.
The first is to train recruits, so that the recruits who have just become soldiers are familiar with some basic military knowledge, and the focus is on obeying orders and explaining military regulations.
Second, it is used to prepare for the construction of factories in advance. At the same time, defend against foreign enemies.
Speaking of soldiers, I have to say one thing, after Zhang Shun blessed the soldiers, the soldiers not only improved their attributes, but also had some basic common sense in their minds.
Don't think it's nothing, you must know that among the soldiers in the current border city county, except for the North Gate Barracks, the soldiers of the other three barracks do not have the basic common sense that they should have as soldiers.
These basic common senses will make Yan Beichen more relaxed when training soldiers, and soldiers will also perform the tasks given by their superiors more clearly when accepting orders.
With the help of a group of soldiers whose attributes were two or three times higher than ordinary people, the entire stronghold was formed at a rapid pace, and by the evening, the general shape of the entire stronghold was completed, and it could be used tomorrow.
As for some of the detailed work after that, it is not something that this group of soldiers can do, although they have a lot of strength, in terms of craftsmanship, they are still rookies, and the details of workmanship are still handled by craftsmen.
In the early morning of 20 August, when the sky was still slightly light, some civilians had already begun to appear outside the north gate of Border City, all gathered outside the newly built stronghold, looking at the newly built stronghold.
By the time the city gate was opened, the north gate of the entire border city county was already overcrowded, and almost two or three thousand people came here in almost the entire border city and county, including those who responded to the conscription order, and those who came to watch and watch the lively crowd.
The entire border city and county have also become more lively because of the recruitment of soldiers, and the grocery stores in the county have just opened their doors and have been snapped up by a large number of people, and the shops around the neighborhood are also overcrowded.
When the time came, Zhang Shun and Liu Yi took Yan Beichen and others from the county government and came to the newly built stronghold, and the civilians along the way all consciously got out of the way to let Zhang Shun and others pass, and at the same time looked at Zhang Tie on the horse with respect and gratitude.
Now Zhang Tie and Liu Yi are both wearing very formal clothes - official uniforms, riding on a white horse and a gray war horse respectively, smiling at the civilians on both sides of the street.
Behind him, there were Yan Beichen, Zhang Sanmad and Qiao Shan, and after that, there were eighty soldiers such as Wei Yan, all of whom were recruited by Zhang Tie himself.
On the far left, Yan Beichen is wearing a white armor, holding a silver-white gentian, also riding on a white war horse, this white equipment, plus Yan Beichen's appearance itself is not a little white face, but it is also very handsome, and with the addition of this equipment, it looks even more handsome and chic.
This white war horse was one of the only two white horses captured among the many bandits, and the other horse was naturally the horse that Zhang Shun sat on.
Zhang Sanmad in the middle was wearing a cyan battle armor, holding a glaive knife in his hand, holding a horse rope in one hand, and driving a gray horse to follow Zhang Shun.
The cyan armor is the armor of the Shu Kingdom that Zhang Tie was pitted, and under the beating of Zhang Sanmad day and night, it was miraculously 'repaired'.
On the far right is Qiao Shan, dressed in a long shirt and with a sword hanging from his waist, riding on horseback with his head held high, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Behind were Wei Yan and others, horses of the same color, the same clothing, the same weapons, and the same pace, which completely shocked everyone present.
"This army is the Tsing Yi Army that exterminated the bandits in the county!"
The Tsing Yi Army is the name that the civilians privately refer to Wei Yan and others, which means the troops of the Lord Qingtian.
And the bandits are called the devil army of Wei Yan and others.
There were nearly 90 people in the group, 90 war horses, and the aura of slaughter that came to their faces was all shocking, how could the civilians of Biancheng County have ever seen such an elite army, this kind of atmosphere is something they have never seen before.
