Chapter 590: Preliminary Confirmation of Employment Relationship
readx;? When agreeing on the specific terms of employment, Feng Longde discussed with Todd and his staff similar to him for almost an hour: hiring a group of mercenaries is not a direct payment as most ordinary people think, and that situation only applies to the hiring of groups of scattered mercenaries, even the current group of 100 mercenaries with at least half of the combatants in Todd still need to sign a formal and complete employment contract to avoid many problems that can easily arise during the employment period。 Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The most basic purpose of this type of employment contract is to clarify what types of troops and personnel the employer needs to hire, the length of the employment period and the corresponding employment remuneration, and the terms and conditions in the mercenary industry regulations must also be included in the employment contract to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties and the provisions and restrictions. These provisions are complex, standardized, and strict, and almost every violation and its punishment are listed, such as mutiny, unauthorized looting, malfeasance and alcoholism, and bringing multiple women with the army (only one is allowed), all of which have relevant disciplinary regulations, and the corresponding sentences can be handed down without trial, and the death penalty is mostly beheaded and hanged.
As for the employment contract between Feng Longde and Todd and other mercenaries...... First of all, there is no opinion on both sides, that is, Feng Longde will first hire these sixty-three mercenaries for half a year, during which their entourage can also find suitable jobs in the Teutonic camp or in the human world, of course, on the premise that these mercenaries and military personnel will abide by the rules and will not wantonly rob and harass the local ordinary human residents; secondly, in terms of employment salary and benefits, the Teutonic camp will pay the corresponding salary on a monthly basis, and when they follow Feng Longde to the Teutonic camp to be officially hired, they will directly receive the first month's salary, and they can also be ordered at a more favorable price in the military factory in the Teutonic camp, buy and repair weapons and armor to further increase their combat effectiveness and battlefield survival rate.
But...... In terms of organization and training, combat targeting, etc., Feng Longde and Tao De and other mercenaries had a lot of differences, and most of the time was spent on these aspects: the combat target was barely easy to say, mainly because Tao De and other mercenaries were a little blown up after hearing that Feng Longde needed them to fight against all kinds of monsters, monsters, monsters and possible non-human races when necessary. These human soldiers from the outside world who strayed into Gensokyo from the parallel European medieval plane or other similar level era did not understand the specific situation here, and it was normal to have this kind of reaction, so Feng Longde also took great pains to explain the general situation of Gensokyo for them, and the result was that after finally explaining the overall situation of Gensokyo to this group of mercenaries that everyone could understand, Todd and the other mercenaries were directly stunned for more than ten minutes before they came to their senses......
This is not the most important place for Todd and other mercenaries to break through, after all, even if they haven't really seen what the so-called demon beasts, monsters, monsters and non-human races are like, but after all, they have grown from ignorant children to now five big and three rough old men have also heard a lot of religious myths and folklore, how can they be regarded as having a certain image understanding, plus Feng Longde has already explained how to deal with all kinds of demon beasts, monsters, Monsters and possibly non-human races are rare, and the enemies they deal with are still ordinary human enemies, which makes them wonder if the prospective employer in front of them and others has something wrong with their brains or is using them as pure cannon fodder...... However, the most important thing about them is that once they are officially hired, they will need to be reorganized with other mercenaries in different classes in the future, and they will also need to undergo certain training unique to Teutonic camps according to the different branches of the troops they belong to.
The reason why Feng Longde stated these regulations in terms of organization and training in the employment contract was that the idea of gradually absorbing and annexing mercenaries and becoming a Teutonic force completely controlled by the Teutonic camp was fought at the beginning: although the combat effectiveness of the mercenaries was not false, their organization and discipline were still too different from those of the regular army, especially in the current situation, the vast majority of the human mercenaries from the outside world who could be hired were not as formalized as the mercenaries in the late European Middle Ages and the Renaissance Professionalism and orderliness are often similar to the somewhat chaotic situation in front of me now...... Not only that, mercenaries are far less reliable and credible than the regular army in some cases, so if you want to command these mercenaries to fight like your fingers, then it is very necessary to gradually start the integration training and subtle influence, otherwise there are so many mercenaries stationed on the edge of the Teutonic camp, God knows if some of them will not abide by the mercenary contract to harass and plunder the ordinary human inhabitants of the human world, and he does not want to see some mercenaries sitting on the ground when the battle is stalemate。
The disagreement between Todd and other mercenaries in this regard is due to the consideration of their own freedom, and Todd and his mercenary leadership team thought of the future leadership of this mercenary team, so they bargained with Feng Longde in these aspects for a long time, and the final result of the negotiation was this: the mercenaries definitely need to be reorganized and trained at that time, but the commanders of these teams reorganized and trained by the mercenaries at all levels are still selected from their original mercenary team leaders, The leaders of these former mercenary teams will arrange the corresponding level of grassroots commanders according to the size and scale of the mercenary teams they led before, so that the status of the vast majority of them will not decline, on the contrary, there will be a certain promotion, so naturally there will not be much complaint.
In addition, Todd and his mercenary leadership team also learned that if the mercenary team they led could officially become a member of the Teutonic army at a later time, and they themselves could become official commanders of the Teutonic army, then the salary, allowances, and benefits they would enjoy would be greatly improved, and most importantly, they would have a stable job, even if they were no longer combatants. For the mercenaries who fight to the death to earn a living expenses, although the remuneration they get alive from every bloody battle is not small, and the old mercenaries get at least twice as much as the new mercenaries, but the mercenary profession depends on age after all. Even if the mercenaries reach middle age, even if they can ensure that they do not lose any body parts without missing arms or legs, the wear and tear of the years on the body and the old illnesses and injuries left by each battle will have a great impact on the old mercenaries, which will make the possibility of their own death increase more and more in every subsequent battle, so few mercenaries can successfully live to middle and old age; There are basically a few who can save some money to buy a small shop or other ways to retire, and only those mercenary leaders who really lead a large mercenary team will successfully get a noble title or enjoy their old age with an extremely wealthy life, and the vast majority of old mercenaries either die in obscurity in a battle, or beg on the streets or die of starvation in old age, without even remembering their people or the simplest tombstone.
The main reason why Feng Longde was able to make the mercenaries such as Todd bargain for this detailed regulation and have many strange requirements for employment contracts was that if they chose to accept the employment of the Teutonic camp for a long time, they would have a good chance of becoming part of the Teutonic army in the Teutonic camp, the so-called regular army, and even if they were no longer combatants, they would be able to have a stable job and source of income to live a peaceful life, and even hope to start a family...... All of this can be regarded as a fatal temptation for any mercenary who lives and dies on the battlefield of flesh and blood, especially for mercenaries like Todd and other mercenaries who wander around on a small scale in search of business and have no fixed range of activities.
"You can be patient and wise, especially when it comes to the many details of an employment contract, sir. After tossing for more than an hour, Todd touched the sweat from his helmet on his forehead, "It seems that you have dealt with mercenaries before, right?"
"Pretty much. Feng Longde nodded slightly, although he had never dealt with mercenaries before, but some of the memories of Herman awakened in his soul heart made him understand many aspects of mercenaries, plus the massive information that Caroline transmitted into his soul heart also had a lot of information about various mercenaries in that era, so Feng Longde was naturally comfortable when negotiating.
"That Herman guy was also a wandering knight, and to put it bluntly, a mercenary with a noble title...... Hah, these small groups of mercenaries can be more difficult to deal with than Herman's murderous and calm and cruel wandering knight?" While secretly complaining in the heart of the soul, Feng Longde took the two employment contracts written by the clerk next to Todd on parchment and carefully read them twice, so as to make sure that there were no omissions or flaws, "Hmm...... This kind of writing is similar to the combination of Old English and Old German, and there is no overlap between the various writing styles of the European Middle Ages of human civilization stored in the heart of my soul and the various writing styles of the prehistoric era, it seems that these guys should come from other planes similar to the European Middle Ages, and they have not run away......"
"What do you think, sir?" Seeing Feng Longde frowning slightly and staring at the two employment contracts for a long time without saying a word, Todd asked nervously.
"Not bad, but if you want to be officially hired......" Feng Longde said as he got up from the simple wooden chair and spread the two employment contracts on the wooden table, "Then you need to be ready to go, go to the Teutonic camp to report intensively, and we can sign the official employment contract after being inspected and identified by the Teutonic soldiers." ”
"Okay......" After hearing Feng Longde's reply, Todd breathed a sigh of relief, most of the employers he had met before had hired them like this, so he didn't think there was anything wrong, "It's just ...... My lord...... The salary ......"
"Salary?" Feng Longde twisted his neck after hearing Todd's words, and then took out a stuffed money bag from the armed belt behind his waist, opened the mouth of the bag and counted the value of all the coins in it twice, took a large gold coin from it, tied the bag tightly, and threw it to Todd, "Well, this is exactly equivalent to the entire salary of all your mercenaries for the first month, so take it as a deposit." ”
"Thank you, sir!" Todd took the money bag and took out a few coins from it and examined it, and when he found that all the coins he had never seen before were made of real gold and silver, he shouted loudly, and then handed the money bag to the clerk beside him, "According to the old custom, give a part to the brothers first, and store the rest in the old place." ”
"Understood, Captain. The clerk nodded, and then took his money bag and went to pay the salaries of the mercenaries who were already resting, chatting, or standing guard in various parts of the camp.
"Give you an hour to pack your bags, we'll set off when the time comes, it's not a short distance from the Teutonic camp, and if you hurry up, at least you can get to the Teutonic camp before dark, and you can set up camp again. Feng Longde clasped his hands on his chest and shrugged his shoulders, "You've just come here, and you're lucky enough that you haven't encountered the giant beasts or monsters, monsters, and monsters that are common in the forest until now - believe me, the forest here is very dangerous, especially at night." ”
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't think you're going to deceive us. Todd nodded, at present, both employment contracts have been signed and stamped by both parties, at least the employment relationship has been preliminarily confirmed, and the rest is to prepare to go to the employer's territory for the next step of formal employment, so he looks a little relaxed, after all, whoever successfully solves the problem of making ends meet for a long time in the future will be like this, let alone a mercenary who is close to death.
Just as Feng Longde was about to wait for these mercenaries to work for a while before setting off as a whole, his soul heart suddenly pulsed at a high speed, and a soul message that had just been transmitted appeared:
"Your Majesty, the Revenant Rangers have discovered an army of humans from the outside world who have just strayed into Gensokyo while monitoring an area not far from you!" "After calming down and carefully browsing the new soul information that appeared in his soul heart, Feng Longde soon discovered that it was an instant report transmitted through the soul connection by a lich mage in charge of monitoring the Revenant Wanderer, "and...... His Majesty the King...... They seem to be ...... Infighting?" (To be continued.) )
