Volume 1 Border City Chapter 20 Recruitment
After Han Xiao left Melansk, he also went to clean up, retrieved his outfits and left the store.
He needed to change places, and there was no guarantee that those who had been in the army would come back to him, especially the officer who had interrogated him, and he didn't seem to let him go at all.
After finding a place to settle down, the next day Han Xiao went to the Xiao Mansion to investigate, to his surprise, the guards of the Xiao Mansion were actually a lot looser, Han Xiao found a vendor who delivered food to the Xiao Mansion and inquired about it, only to know that the current Xiao Mansion was an empty shell, and all the people of the Xiao family had moved to Xidaying, as if to prevent the incident from happening again the night before.
Just as Han Xiao was thinking about what to do, the sound of a gong came over. Han Xiao saw a soldier shouting while playing a gong, and he could vaguely hear what Xiying and what treatment he was in the content. It didn't take long for someone to stand next to a bulletin board next to it, and Han Xiao didn't have a clue anyway, so he shuttled through the bustling crowd to the front row. The general content on the bulletin board is that the West Battalion recruits, and the treatment is preferential, and those who are interested should go to the Xicheng Military Reception Office to register.
"I'll go, an ordinary soldier will have a hundred gold coins a year, which is twice as much as the normal treatment. ”
"Yes, yes, if you look at the officers, not only is the salary doubled, but there are also ten extra days of vacation per year. ”
"I said don't just see the good, I heard that the West Camp and the town governor are at odds, maybe something will happen. ”
"I've also heard that a number of officers died in the West Battalion two days ago. ”
The soldier who posted the notice suddenly glanced at the people who were talking: "Are you tired of talking about military politics in vain?" ”
The few people who spoke immediately shut up, although the blood dome is relatively free in speech and the people are also strong, but it is always a stupid thing to offend the military for no reason, not to mention that what they said is really just heard, and there is no evidence.
A few people left here stupidly, and after walking out of the crowd, Han Xiao seemed to be able to hear what several of them were still talking about, and they were scolding, it should be that they had a lot of opinions about the soldier who spoke just now.
Han Xiao thought about it, and felt that Xiao Ming had really offended God, he was still worried just now, and someone immediately gave a clear way, Han Xiao did not hesitate at the moment, and immediately returned to his residence, he needed to prepare, he was ready to join in this recruitment.
In the Southern Regions Town Guard Mansion, Qiu Zhen tore off a piece of the notices posted on the streets and alleys, and now Zhang Zhendu is reading it with relish.
"My lord, the treatment and the scale of the Xiao family's recruitment have violated military law, do you want to deal with it immediately?"
"No, the Xiao family can't easily move, but you can still give them a little trouble. ”
Qiu Zhen didn't insist on anything after hearing this, and then continued: "My lord, the Xiao family is probably forcing you to be anxious like this. With the current situation, you can eat the Xiao family at any time. ”
"Haha, even before, it was not difficult for the old man to destroy the Xiao family. Moreover, even if they expand the scale, what is the use, they will not recruit many people in a short period of time, and even if they do, they will not be able to form any combat effectiveness, I think that there will be blood between them and the Xiao family in two or three months. Zhang Zhendu said, and an inexplicable light lit up in his eyes.
Since sitting in this position, the entire Southern Regions has been calmly bored, after all, he is still a soldier who kills people for a living, and the comfortable life of these years has not worn away his sharpness, and some are just deadly camouflages hidden by the edge.
Qiu Zhen understood Zhang Zhendu's words, and the Xiao family probably knew this situation, so they offered a very high salary, but in fact, they didn't have to cash it out at all. If the Xiao family is here and they are born, then the Xiao family is not stingy with these finances, and if the Xiao family dies or they die, then there is no need to cash it out. Although Qiu Zhen felt the sinister intentions of the Xiao family, he also understood Lord Xiao's deep sense of powerlessness at the moment.
Qiu Zhen thought about it, and Zhang Zhendu's words came again: "Take this opportunity to see if you can arrange some of our people in, I want to let the Xiao family taste the taste of lifting a stone and hitting their own feet." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it. After Qiu Zhen finished speaking, he got up and retired.
In the guest room area of the town governor's mansion, Li Yun was bored in the yard counting the ants on the ground, Li Yuer had been recuperating because of her injury, and she had borrowed a lot of books from the town governor in the past two days, and it seemed that she was ready to spend more than a month of recuperation.
She also mentioned to the town governor that even if she was injured, she could leave immediately, and she always felt that the more this matter dragged on, the more dangerous it became. And the town governor always told her that it would not be a big deal to delay this matter for a while, not to mention that the people from the Supervision Department would arrive in a few days. Thinking about the injured Quan Zhenhu and herself, the reinforcements that arrived immediately, she felt that what the town governor said was not wrong, so she recuperated with peace of mind.
However, this situation makes Li Yun worried, her own lady will definitely not be able to go out now, and Li Yun herself does not dare to go out alone, she is active by nature, she has turned the whole yard upside down these days, Li Yuer even doubted that after a while, Li Yun would not give Zhang Zhendu a decoration plan worth tens of thousands of gold coins, because she found that Li Yun has been expressing dissatisfaction with the furnishings and decorations of the room recently, shaking her head, Li Yuer still didn't care about her maid, and once again focused on the books in her hands.
After Han Xiao returned to his residence, he packed his belongings, and then found a place to hide some things that he couldn't see, and finally Han Xiao sat in front of the bronze mirror in the room, the mirror was blurred for a while, and Han Xiao's face that was not very handsome was even more ordinary at the moment.
One of the variants of the bone shrinking technique, by changing the bones of his face to change his appearance, compared to the orthodox bone shrinking technique that has undergone drastic changes in the body, it takes more than ten years of cultivation at every turn, this variant is still easy to learn as long as there is a powerful teacher to teach, and Han Xiao's teacher obviously belongs to the list of powerful teachers.
Han Xiao had never seen the teacher use the Bone Shrinking Technique, but he clearly knew that even if the teacher's Bone Shrinking Skill was not the best in the world, it was probably not far away, in fact, he wanted to know what that person would not have.
When Han Xiao appeared at the recruiting office in Xicheng, there was already a long queue there, and many people who came to Hongfeng Fortress relied on force to eat, since the army could give such a reward and security, naturally many people were willing to come. As for why the West Battalion recruited soldiers and why they were given such good treatment, everyone didn't mention it as if they had discussed it.
Han Xiao blended into the team so quietly, like an ordinary farmer, no one cared about such a person, seeing that the sun was about to set, Han Xiao found that there were still a few people in front of him, and the recruiter was looking at the sun at the moment, thinking about when it would end. Among the people behind Han Xiao, some have already left, and since it is too late today, they can only come to line up early tomorrow.
"Okay, okay, today's recruitment is over, and those who are not in line will come back tomorrow. The recruiter put away the list register and prepared to leave.
"How can this be, we've been waiting for a day, can you let me register first?" A man who happened to be in time to register was angry at first, and then turned to flattery, with a flattering face.
"No, no, no, I've registered you, so what do the people behind you say. The person who said the registration pointed to a short man behind the man.
The man in front of him looked back and glared at the person behind him, the meaning of the threat was very clear, the man shrunk his neck, and then said, "That, my lord, I'll come back tomorrow." After saying that, he ran away as if he was running away.
"My lord, you see that he has no objections, so you can accept me. The man who hit the head had a different face.
"Okay, okay, you leave the others to disperse. "The registered soldier won't delay any time anyway, and the people behind him didn't express any dissatisfaction, so he simply gave this favor, maybe he can use it in the future, and his own mix in the West Camp is actually average, and many friends have one more way.
"I've made an exception for you, brother, remember to invite your brother to drink in the future. Now that the decision was made to register, the soldier did not register the last man with an ugly face and a smile.
"That's a must, at least three times. In the end, this person was also active, and immediately gave a very satisfactory answer to the other party.
"Wang Xu, 20 years old, a local, unemployed vagrant, and his mother is still alive. Well, okay, Brother Wang, you take this brand, and go to Xidaying to report tomorrow, and I will assign it to you when the time comes. After registering, the soldier gave Wang Xu a sign with Wang Xu's name written on it, and on the other side was the name of a person named Wei Sheng.
"Thank you, Brother Wei, I don't know which part Brother Wei belongs to? Wang Xu took the sign and asked again.
"I'm from the 4th Division of the 2nd Army, and now I'm a squad leader. Those like you who come in should be assigned to the Sixth Army of the New Army. Let me tell you, the current corps commander of the new army is temporarily replaced by Xiao Mingxiao, the deputy commander of our Fourth Division, and when the formation is completed, Lord Xiao should be directly promoted to corps commander, which is a three-level promotion. ”
Han Xiao, who was supposed to see if there was a chance with a few remaining people, suddenly heard this statement, and silently wrote down every word of this person in his heart, including his name Wei Sheng, if nothing else, it would be this person on his own brand, and if he did it in Xidaying in the future, no matter what the result was, Wei Sheng would be implicated.
After the person was registered, Wei Sheng got up and prepared to leave.
