Chapter Eighty-Eight: Recruiting Soldiers (Medium) (New Books for Collection, Recommendation)
Yan Qinghua snorted at Su Junyi, and pretended to be angry and said:
"Now it's completely on your thief ship, it's annoying enough to give advice and deal with officials, and now you want to find me when recruiting soldiers? Did you know that women can grow old easily if they lack sleep? ”
Su Jun pretended not to understand, he smiled, he also understood Yan Qinghua's hardships, when it came to making suggestions and engaging in interpersonal diplomacy, Yan Qinghua was definitely a good hand.
But in terms of internal affairs, it is a little dwarfed, but Su Jun can't help it, his subordinates are like clouds, and there is no shortage of people who can fight, but only Yan Qinghua is good at strategy, and there is no master of internal affairs.
The day after Su Jun explained the task, Yan Qinghua ordered people to post notices in various cities, towns, and villages in Bei'an County, and spread the news, with only one content, that is, recruitment.
Yan Qinghua's recruitment methods are not clever, but they are very practical, that is, he promises a high position with a lot of money:
Regardless of background, regardless of the past, as long as they are peaceful people, and want to go to the battlefield with General Zhenbei, resist the Northern Barbarians, and gain fame, they can be conscripted into the army.
Whoever calls ten people to vote, he will be named the chief, and those who call a hundred people to vote, give the centurion, and call five hundred people to vote, and give the position of tun chief, and so on, if you have the ability to bring 10,000 people to join the army, then you can directly get the position of military marquis.
Not to mention the position of military marquis, the position of the commander of the thousand, even if you want to get the position of centurion and chief, in peacetime, ordinary people dare not think of it.
For those who can fight well and medical officers, blacksmiths, ministers and other people with special abilities who come to join the army, the military salary is doubled, the treatment is preferential, and the house and land are divided into women, as long as you have real skills, you will definitely be satisfied with money and materials.
As the so-called high-ranking officials must have brave men under the lure, the young and strong men of Bei'an County, as long as they have a little ability or special skills, they all began to call friends, and bring relatives and relatives to join the army like a tide, as if they were getting ahead, and the opportunity to shine on the lintel is in front of them.
In addition to recruitment, there is another matter, which is also the most important thing for Su Jun to solve at the moment, that is, General Zhenbei lacks a pair of eyes that look down on the earth in the sky, yes, to put it bluntly, intelligence work must be done well.
On the way to escape, Su Jun found that communication technology was not developed in this era, and fast and accurate information was extremely important, and sometimes, an accurate message could even affect the victory or defeat of a battle.
The establishment of a special organization was not a whim for Su Jun, but a long time ago, he had planned to do so, but at that time, he was either fleeing or preparing to flee, and he had no other energy to think about other things.
Anning, Taidang County, an unknown village outside the city.
The winter sun shone on the earth, and two middle-aged men of coarse cloth, carrying stiff bows on their backs, went out hunting side by side.
"The barbarians deceived people too much, and a few days ago they ransacked several villages, and when they met men, they cut them to death, and when they saw women, they took them away, and the corpses were piled up into mountains, and blood flowed into rivers, what a miserable thing!"
Another companion chimed in:
"That's also something that can't be helped, I just hope that this kind of disaster doesn't befall our village, and now we can't help others."
"I heard that the new county head of our Bei'an County is the general of Zhenbei who was personally appointed by the king, and on the first day of his arrival in Bei'an County, he made a big fuss in the county capital, and returned the arrears of military funds.
"Huh? There are such things, if what you said is true, then this world is not simple, why don't we also join the army and contribute to the defense of the country? ”
"If we don't teach this group of barbarians a lesson, they will also sack our village sooner or later, and the mother-in-law and children of the family will suffer sooner or later, so it is better to join the army and kill this group of dog offal happily!"
"With our brother's ability, sooner or later we will be able to get ahead in the army"
"Let's go, kill these brute dogs"
"!"
The figures of the two hunters are gradually moving away, and they are about to take off their coarse linen clothes and put on their armor to defend their homeland......
Anning, Taidang County, a blacksmith shop in Yaocheng.
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
The monotonous and boring sound of striking iron began from the generation of the iron-striking man's grandfather, to his father, and then to himself, I don't know how many years, compared with the severe cold outside, the burning stove in the shop exuded a rolling heat wave, although the iron-striking man was shirtless, but still oozing dense beads of sweat on his forehead.
The iron man is a big man more than eight feet tall, with a purple face and a thick beard, about twenty-seven or eight years old, thick black eyebrows, bull's eyes, a lion nose and a wide mouth, and knotted bulging muscles like iron.
"Ding-bell!"
"Ding-bell!"
Nearly 100 catties of sledgehammer in the hands of the tall man were as light as nothing, raised high, and accurately smashed on the red-hot iron bar, and in an instant, sparks splashed everywhere, staining the skin and making a sound of zra, but the iron man did not care at all.
The little worker next to him who was in charge of blowing the wind and adding fire looked a little distracted, and for a while, he forgot to add some dry fire to the stove.
"What a daze! Want to be lazy again? ”
The iron man turned his head and glared at the worker fiercely, although his eyes were off the iron bar, the sledgehammer still smashed exactly where it should have fallen, deafening.
"That's it."
The surname of the iron man is Wu Mingkuohai, the ancestors of the previous generation to strike iron as a business, whether it is a blade armor, or a farm tool, as long as it passes through its hands, it must be sharp and abnormal, strong and durable, in Bei'an County is a well-known Tong Su no bullying.
Wu Kuohai's craftsmanship is good, business is naturally good, since Su Jun's recruitment notice was posted, Wu Kuohai is even more busy every day, everyone is talking about serving Su Zhongqing, winning merit on the battlefield, and winning the name before and after his death, after listening to it for a long time, Wu Kuohai naturally has his own ideas.
"How about making more money? Just a craftsman after all? The first recruit in the county, regardless of background, as long as you have real skills, you will definitely be able to get ahead, and I will be a general in the future, and I will have a good future for future generations! ”
Thinking of this, Wu Kuohai made up his mind, his right arm tightened, rounded his arm, raised the hammer and slammed the stone platform on the side.
Only a loud "boom" was heard, and half of the stone platform made of earth was instantly smashed.
The helper's servant was completely blinded by the sudden hammer, and sat down on the ground, looking at his master with a frightened expression.
Wu Kuohai had already gotten up and returned to the inner house at this time, and after a simple freshening, he changed into a dry cotton coat, lifted his usual hammer with both hands, and said to the helper:
"From now on, Lao Tzu's hammer will only fight brute dogs, not iron, this shop will be given to you, good business, if you smash the Wu family's signboard, Lao Tzu will not spare you!"
After speaking, Wu Kuohai took a big step and left the blacksmith shop that his ancestors had run for generations without looking back.
