Chapter 202: Report to the Soldiers
The city guards already have a military position to vacate the seat, Teng Xinzun still wanted to grab this position yesterday, but just now the two of them agreed to let Meng Huan Chilong occupy a military position, so the remaining two people feel that they can let some people move, and in the battle in front of the city gate just now, some soldiers and military positions died, and they also have to find someone to make up for it.
But now that there is such a trouble, some things are not easy to do, the two of them discussed it, and they arranged their positions very tacitly, so Long Qishui was promoted to the position of captain, and Teng Xinzun naturally got what he needed.
Therefore, after the two of them discussed, Long Qifeng walked over with a smile, clapped his hands gently, and said: "Chong is loyal and courageous, I would rather not have a military position, but also follow the red dragon, then I will be an adult, and I will not break you up, it just so happens that the military camp is full now, even if you are in the reserve of the city guard, everyone is still together." ”
These words made the people in the cottage grateful, in fact, this was discussed between him and Teng Xinzun, and there was an exchange of interests.
"Okay, I declare that you all have military merits this time, except for a set of armor and weapons, the three who came with the Red Dragon Brothers, each of them will be rewarded with 1,000 big silver coins, and the remaining twenty-seven people will each have 500 big silver coins, how about it?"
Menghuan Mountain Tiger heard a strange cry and said: "So many rewards, it has been issued, we have money to build a cottage, I can tell you, the money must be handed over, and it cannot be kept privately, and it must be handed over to Wu Gong when he goes back." ”
Long Qifeng walked up to Meng Huan Chilong with a smile and said: "According to the establishment, you have five hundred soldiers in this hundred lieutenants, but now you can only receive a false title, and people have to recruit themselves, and the military position is also appointed by you. How?"
Long Qifeng's words were really complicated, and he didn't understand the red dragon, and looked at Long Qifeng with small eyes.
Teng Xinzun said with a smile on the side: "What does Lord Cheng Shou mean, you have the rank of a hundred lieutenants, but you don't have any soldiers under you, so you have to recruit soldiers yourself, and then report to me to receive military salaries." By the way, you are in reserve, there are no extra barracks in the barracks, you have to find a place to live on your own. ”
He was stunned for a moment, there are no soldiers, no barracks, what kind of city guards are they? So he thought for a while and said, "Lord City Guard, what do you mean by reserves? Even if we recruit soldiers, are we considered real city guards?"
Teng Xinzun scratched his head and said: "This matter is a bit complicated, you are reporting soldiers, and you are not real soldiers." Of course, your military rank of 100 lieutenant is official, while reporting to the non-commissioned officer has no military position. The treatment of the reported soldiers is the same as that of the real soldiers, and it will not affect the military merits, because sooner or later you will be the soldiers of the city guards. ”
These words made Meng Huan Chilong even more confused, and he stood aside and thought hard, trying to understand the difference.
Menghuan Mountain Tiger can't figure it out, but he is more direct than Menghuan Chilong. "Listen to what your lord means, reporting a soldier is not a city guard soldier, how can we count military merits, and how can we get a reward?"
"How can I say that? The number of city guards in each city and county is approved by the Witch King, and the city guards and the army cannot be increased at will, as long as they increase, they will be suspected of rebellion, and they will be killed. But there is a reduction in the barracks at any time, such as death from illness or accidental death, so in addition to the official roster, a record has been made, and as long as there is a shortage of people, these people will be added. This is the case with you, who are already counted as soldiers, but not on the official roster. ”
Listening to Teng Xinzun's explanation, Meng Huan Chilong was still a little confused, saying that he could not increase the number of soldiers at will, but on the other hand, he was engaged in reporting the soldiers, and theoretically increased the number of soldiers.
In fact, the number of soldiers reported by the Wu Nationality State is not increased at will, and there are only ten places for 10,000 soldiers a year, and only when the quota is used up can new soldiers be recruited.
It's just that the situation in Yitian City is special now, in the battle just now, dozens of soldiers were killed and wounded, and the soldiers who have been reported for several years have been used up, and now it is possible to start a war with the Duanzheng Dynasty at any time, and there will definitely be more soldiers killed in the battle at that time.
Therefore, the two people with the right to command in Yitian City discussed it and decided to increase the number of soldiers to ensure that the combat soldiers in Yitian City could replenish their capabilities, so they wanted to ask Meng Huan Chilong to do this and recruit more soldiers.
Meng Huan Chilong listened to Teng Xinzun's explanation, although he didn't understand, he didn't want to ask more, now he only cared about some practical things.
"My lord, as long as we admit that we are city guards, it's just that people have been recruited, and there is no place to live, where do we live?"
He didn't know that there were only thirty soldiers in Yitian City, and all the soldiers reported for this battle had become official soldiers. And the two of them thought about the battle later, gritted their teeth and increased the number of people to five hundred, so the original military camp was not designed to increase so many people, so naturally there was no place to live.
Teng Xinzun smiled bitterly and approached Menghuan Chilong, and said: "Lord Menghuan, you see if this will work, you recruit people, find a place to live outside, and I will subsidize you." In the barracks, I asked people to speed up the construction of houses, and as long as there is a house, they can go back to the barracks to live. ”
Hearing Teng Xinzun say this, he looked at Lei Mu again, now in Heavenly City, he only knows Lei Mu, and wants to ask Lei Mu if he can find a place to live, because the clansmen live in the Lei Chamber of Commerce, he didn't think that five hundred soldiers could live in the Lei Chamber of Commerce, and he didn't have so many houses in the Lei Chamber of Commerce.
Before he could speak, someone shouted, "Lord Castle Guard, is the reward over, and what about my share?"
Lei Mu was startled, and hurriedly said, "Suyu, this is not a place to mess around, come back to me." ”
"Why am I messing around, just now in front of the city gate, I also injured a spy, this is something that the army should have seen, isn't it?"
Several people from the cottage saw it, so they nodded at the city guard together, indicating that there was indeed such a thing.
Teng Xinzun also nodded and said, "There is indeed such a thing, the movement was quite big at that time, which scared me." He could not deny this, and his cloak was destroyed by this boy.
Lei Suyu said proudly: "Lord City Guard, do you hear, they have a reward for what happened in front of the city gate, why didn't I?" He also pointed at a few people who were surrounded by red dragons with his hand.
At this time, Long Qifeng didn't dare to treat Lei Suyu as a child, and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to miss you, according to the performance, you should indeed have military merits, but the matter of military merits, you also understood it just now, you have to be a soldier first, before you can give you a reward!"
Lei Suyu pointed to the people who surrounded the cottage again: "I'm just like them, being my senior brother's soldier, it's always okay!"
Raimu screamed when he heard this. "My little ancestor, you are just twelve years old, what kind of soldier should you be!"
Lei Suyu shouted. "Ah Gong, why can't you be a soldier at the age of twelve? Senior brother is not yet fifteen years old! He is already a hundred lieutenants, and I will be the head of his personal guard, right? I can help him pour water and carry the blade! Besides, who stipulates that you can't go into battle to kill the enemy before you are old?"
Lei Mu didn't dare to say much because of this occasion, but just looked at Lei Suyu worriedly, and then his eyes were aimed at the army and the city guard, as if he wanted them to make a statement.
Seeing this, Meng Huan Chilong walked to Lei Mu's side and said, "Master, let him be a soldier if he wants to be a soldier, I won't let him take risks, I can guarantee this." Then he approached Lei Suyu. "Senior brother, this move is ruthless, I'm afraid that Long Jinliu's eyes will pop out. He had already guessed Lei Suyu's idea, only when he became a soldier could he go into battle to kill the enemy.
Lei Suyu glanced at Long Jinliu, and sure enough, he saw that Long Jinliu was staring at him, staring straight at him, as if he didn't expect it to be like this, which made him smile even more happily, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.
Lei Mu could only nod when he heard Meng Huan Chilong say this, although he didn't want Lei Suyu to be a soldier, he couldn't make trouble in the city guard mansion, right?
He looked at Lei Suyu and said, "That's okay, I won't stop you, but it's up to Lord City Shou to decide." If you join the City Guard, you must listen to your brother in the army, you know?"
Lei Suyu immediately responded crisply: "Grandpa, don't worry, I know, it'll be fine." Then he turned to look at Long Qifeng. "Lord Castle Guard, can I join the City Guard?"
Long Qifeng saw that they were frowning, and they were still muttering together, knowing that there must be a story in it, but he didn't know it. But looking at Long Jinliu's expression, he seemed to know something, and thought that he would ask later.
The underage reporting soldier is not for the Wu nationality country, because the reporting soldier is not a single election, you can become a formal soldier, you have to wait a few years, so some large families, let their children mix with the report soldier, receive a few years of military salary, although the military salary is small, but it is also a money.
Now he was bent on making Meng Winding Red Dragon have a good impression of him and pave the way for his idea, so he hesitated for a moment and agreed.
"Okay, since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, you are the junior brother of the Red Dragon Brothers, it seems that your ability is not small, you can join the report soldiers, you can be regarded as the personal guard of the Red Dragon Brothers, and you are also the youngest soldier of our city guards. According to your performance today, the award armor and weapons are also 500 large silver coins. ”
Seeing that Lei Suyu had really become a soldier and had been rewarded, he shouted happily and was about to pounce on the red dragon. Senior Brother Nazhi waved at him again and again, and he remembered that there was something he should do.
Suppressing his impulse, he saluted to the city guard: "Thank you, Lord City Guard, I will definitely kill more people from the righteous dynasty and defend the Wu Clan." Then he looked at Long Jinliu, held his head proudly, and smiled at Long Jinliu a little defiantly.
Seeing this smile, Long Jinliu's face became even more ugly, looking at Long Qifeng, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't have the courage to say it.
He knew that Lei Suyu's purpose in doing this was not to show off his meritorious service, but to prepare for the bet later. If you fight with the people of the upright dynasty, if you are still a commoner, you will definitely not be able to go up the city wall. This shows that Lei Suyu is determined to compare with him to see who is the real hero, and who is the boss in Yitian City.
This made Long Qiliu a little excited and a little nervous. decided to turn back to Long Qishui and let himself be his personal guard, so that he could go up to the city wall and fight with the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty.
Meng Chilong's current mind is still thinking about where to put the barracks, you must know that it is five hundred people. So as soon as he saw that things had a result, he quietly came to Lei Mu's side.
"Master, the soldiers I recruited, can you help me find a place so that they can have a place to live, I just said that there is a subsidy when I join the army, and I can pay for it. ”
