Chapter VI Recruitment
Ye Tianlong was also surprised to see that no one wanted to quit, but this is also a good thing, these veterans have some training foundation, and their military literacy is still far greater than that of those who have just been recruited.
"Excellent! It seems that everyone has a heart of loyalty and courage to serve the country, then I, Ye Tianlong, can't treat everyone badly, if anyone dies on the battlefield in the future, I will pay a pension of fifty silver dollars, and promise that it will be sent to his family, and will definitely not let the warriors shed blood and tears! After recovering from his surprise, Ye Tianlong said with relief.
"Good! The head of the regiment is righteous enough, my old Guo will sell his life to you in the future! Hearing Ye Tianlong's words, the first battalion commander Guo Dafu was the first to respond.
The other soldiers also quickly applauded, after all, it is not easy to find a commander who is willing to pay any pension to the soldiers who died in the war these years! Usually when a soldier dies in battle, it's good to be able to send your ashes and your old savings home.
Next, Ye Tianlong directly asked Liu Meng to send a team of soldiers to his home to transport a large number of silver dollars, ready to distribute them to these veterans of the garrison regiment.
Seeing these white silver dollars, the soldiers' eyes suddenly lit up one by one, and some of the soldiers who were worried that Ye Tianlong was just talking and playing finally believed it, after all, this real money was in front of them!
"All line up, come to get money one by one, they are all veterans, I won't come to teach you how to line up again!" Seeing a large group of soldiers surrounding him, staring at the silver dollars in the box, Liu Meng scolded with some dissatisfaction.
In order to be able to receive the money as soon as possible, these soldiers all went to line up very well-behaved, and Ye Tianlong also took the opportunity to ask Liu Meng and them to re-register the soldiers' information to see how many soldiers there were in his garrison regiment.
Before Ye Tianlong crossed over, the soldiers of this garrison regiment were basically living in this barracks, and many people would go out to find some idle work to do and earn some extra money when they were free.
If you do a good job and earn a lot of money, you can simply take off your military uniform and go straight away, which is common in most garrison regiments.
This time, Ye Tianlong was ready to count and see the actual number of soldiers in his garrison regiment.
In the end, after statistics, the situation of his garrison regiment is not bad, there are not many deserters, the soldiers registered on the roster of the army in the past are 521 people, and now there are 509 people left, just a few small soldiers have run, and the officers above the squad leader are not less, and they are still sticking to their respective posts! The first battalion had the largest number of soldiers, three hundred, and the remaining two hundred Lin nine were from the second battalion.
The first battalion commander Guo Dafu and the second battalion commander Liu Ying are also the same as the deputy regiment commander Liu Meng, who have learned a few martial arts practitioners, Ye Tianlong borrowed the ability of the system to check the attributes of several people, and found that these three people are all considered to have entered the door, and they can be regarded as martial artists on the first level of body forging.
In addition, the other soldiers were all ordinary people, with no cultivation foundation, and some of their physical attributes were not even as good as the previous Ye Tianlong.
But this is also normal, after all, most of these soldiers originally came from poor families, and they usually can't even eat enough, how can this physical fitness be good!
Two days later, he was going to take these soldiers to the battlefield to fight, and it was not okay if he was not in good health, so Ye Tianlong waved his hand after paying the settling-in allowance, saying that he wanted to invite all the soldiers to eat.
Although Ye Tianlong's garrison regiment is seriously short of personnel, there are more than 500 people! Ordinary restaurants can't receive so many people at one time, so Ye Tianlong had to charter seven or eight restaurants in this Cannes in one go.
After that, all kinds of good wine and meat will be served until everyone is full.
Most of these soldiers were very poor before, and they couldn't eat meat a few times a year, but now they can eat and drink freely with their open stomachs, and they all feel extremely happy, and they all say all kinds of grateful words to Ye Tianlong, the regiment commander, saying that they want to go to the soup for this regiment commander.
Ye Tianlong looked at this scene and thought to himself that this is really a military heart! The next battle with the Spirit Snake Empire is definitely a hard battle, and it must be the concerted efforts of the whole army to have a chance of winning, so Ye Tianlong naturally wants to collect the army's heart as soon as possible, no matter how much money is spent on it, it is worth it.
When eating and drinking, a veteran named Lai Qi took advantage of the end and said loudly: "I have all this good wine and food, but the only pity is that there is no woman to accompany me!" ”
"Lai Qi, you kid is really greedy, it's good to have food, but you still want a woman!" Guo Dafu, the commander of the first battalion on the side, reprimanded angrily when he heard this.
Ye Tianlong happened to hear this, and said with a smile: "It won't be long before I will go to the front line, so it is inconvenient to ask a woman to accompany me now, otherwise everyone will have to be hollowed out, and there will be no strength to fight at that time." After this battle, I invite everyone to go to Chunfeng Building to have a good time for a few days! ”
"Haha! The regiment commander is mighty, and I Lai Qi will definitely do my best in this battle, so that the regiment commander can make more meritorious achievements! When Lai Qi heard this, he immediately shouted excitedly.
Ye Tianlong looked at this scene, but what he thought in his heart was that how many people could survive in the end of this battle, after all, his garrison regiment was far from the army of the Spirit Snake Empire in terms of equipment and training!
After everyone had finished eating and drinking, Ye Tianlong divided all his men into four teams and went to the four city gates to recruit troops separately. The people who led the team in these four places were Ye Tianlong himself, Liu Meng, Guo Dafu and Liu Ying.
After Ye Tianlong led a group of men to the East City Gate, he found that there were indeed many refugees gathered here.
Many of the refugees had found an open space to sit on the side of the road, and some of the earlier arrivals had already set up a few thatched huts near the city gate.
After Ye Tianlong asked someone to announce the favorable conditions for the garrison regiment to recruit troops, sure enough, many people were eager to try and wanted to come over to join the army.
However, to Ye Tianlong's surprise, in the end, it was a weak woman who was the first to sign up.
The woman looked seventeen or eighteen years old, very young, wearing a tattered moon-white dress, and a scar on the left side of her face, which looked like it had been cut by a knife.
"Are you really going to the front line to fight the Spirit Snake Empire? If you really want to go, then I will join the army and go with you to kill the devils! ”
"Of course we're going! I'm going to go to the front line in two days, but this war is a man's business, you are a weak woman, you are really not suitable to be a soldier! Ye Tianlong looked up at the woman in front of him and said persuadingly.
"All my relatives have been killed by those brutes, if you don't take me, I'll go find other troops!" The woman faced Ye Tianlong's persuasion, but she didn't appreciate it at all.
Ye Tianlong saw the bitter hatred in the other party's eyes, it was obvious that this was a poor woman who had been completely carried away by hatred, and it would be fruitless for him to continue to persuade him.
So he sighed and said, "All right! Then I'll take you! Now let's register your basic information, name? ”
"Moyu!"
"Age?"
"Seventeen!"
After the registration was completed, Moyu immediately received a settling-in fee of ten silver dollars.
Although this woman who is bent on revenge doesn't seem to take the money seriously, the other people around her are different! After all, other ordinary people are still thinking about making more money to support their families!
But now is a troubled time, the flames of war are burning everywhere, and it is really getting harder and harder to make money, this may be the best choice to be a soldier, but this must also choose the right troops, and those troops who deduct a lot of soldiers' salaries must not go.
At the moment, the commander of this garrison regiment looks good, and he is really willing to pay for the recruitment of troops himself.
Soon, refugees came one after another to sign up, and finally even some Cannes locals came.
Ye Tianlong is very happy about this, after all, one more person, one more strength!
Now the only thing he is worried about is whether Huang San can invite that Huang Master in time, if he wants to buy a large number of firearms, he has to point to that Huang Master who has all his hands and eyes!
As the saying goes, this says Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives. When Ye Tianlong was thinking about that old man Huang in his heart, the other party happened to come to the gate of this city.
Mr. Huang, who was sitting in a beautifully made car, rolled down the window of the car, opened the many refugees at the gate of the city who were queuing up to register and receive silver dollars, and couldn't help complaining: "All the silver in white flowers has been scattered to the poor, what a sin!" ”
"Master Huang, there's no way! The order from the military department has come down, and our regiment commander will go to the front line in two days, if we don't hurry up and recruit more troops, where can we withstand the attack of those wolf-like Spirit Snake Empire devils at that time! Huang San, who was sitting across from him, opened his mouth and explained to him.
That old man Huang couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, thinking that this was a good thing for him, the other party wanted to save his life in the next battle, and even made military achievements, in addition to recruiting troops, then he must buy more arms from him, this time he can indeed take the opportunity to make a lot of money.
A morning passed quickly, and the men sent by Ye Tianlong to the four city gates recruited about 800 people in just half a day, and the results were remarkable.
What made him even happier was that Huang San came to report to him before, that Master Huang had also been invited, and the other party did have a large amount of arms in his hand that could be sold to Ye Tianlong, and he only needed Ye Tianlong to negotiate the price later.
So after finishing the recruitment work in the morning, Ye Tianlong didn't even bother to eat lunch, so he hurried to the Tongfu Inn where the old man Huang stayed.
