Chapter 16: The Armyization of the Guards

On the grain field, the guards who were chatting saw a teenager standing on the convening seat where Ji Liang was originally standing, and they all immediately cast curious glances.

Xu Chuan stood on the stage, looking at the dense crowd on the grain field, his heart beat faster, his blood surged, and he was a little upset.

After all, he was just an ordinary worker before the crossing, how could he face and manage so many people, it was natural to be nervous, and it was very good not to be nervous to the point that his legs were weak and he couldn't stand steadily.

After taking a few deep breaths and forcibly calming himself down a little, Xu Chuan held the megaphone and said, "Everyone must be very curious, there is no bandit invasion today, why do you still call everyone over." ”

"Here, I want to announce one thing, this morning, several respected old people in our three areas, including Jing Chengwen of the Jing family, Jing Lao of the school, Uncle Ji Liang of the guard, Xu Xiande of the Xu family and other elders discussed a matter together."

"From today onwards, you will be transformed from guards to town guards, and I will train you to be soldiers to protect our three areas; That is, from today onwards, you will be fixed soldiers, no longer in rotation, specialized in combat, responsible for repelling those bandits who have invaded us! ”

Xu Chuan's words were like dropping a boulder into a calm pond, and it suddenly set off countless waves.

In the audience, everyone who heard the news was a little stunned, and they started to discuss, standing in front of a little closer, a man shouted at Xu Chuan is question.

"What about my family's fields, my family is just a man, although my mother-in-law is capable, she can't plough those fields, and she can't support a family."

As soon as these words came out, some people around immediately chimed in.

"Yes, yes, I'm the only man in my family, and my children are still young, if it's a special war, what about things at home."

Xu Chuan stood on the stage, holding a megaphone, and shouted: "Everyone be quiet first!" ”

He shouted twice, and waited until everyone calmed down a little before he continued: "The elders naturally took into account the problem you said. ”

"As long as you become a town guard, a professional soldier, and protect the safety of the residents behind you, then your fields will naturally be cultivated for you, and your family will not lack food, and I will have a way to solve these problems."

"In addition, after you become a professional soldier, you will be responsible for your food, drink and lodging, and you can receive a military salary of one or two silver every month, which is a subsidy for you."

"If someone dies in battle in the course of fighting against the bandits, then a one-time subsidy of thirty taels of silver will be given to your family, in addition, the names of the soldiers who died in the battle will be recorded in the monument for future generations to pay respects, and the family will be taken care of, and if there are children, they will also be sent to the school, and all tuition fees will be waived."

If the military transformation of the guards mentioned earlier is like a stone thrown into a pond, then the rest of the guards, like cannonballs, suddenly exploded.

Even Ji Liang, who was standing aside, Old Man Xu and the elders all looked at Xu Chuan in surprise.

This treatment is completely different from what was discussed in the medical hall before, both the military salary and the war death allowance have been doubled.

There is no mention of the names of soldiers who died in battle being engraved on monuments and the children being sent to school.

But these two methods sound like a good idea.

"Kid of the Xu family, what you said is true! If you are a soldier, do you really have a tael of silver every month? Thirty taels of subsidies for war death? ”

Offstage, a guard squeezed forward and shouted.

"Absolutely! This subsidy was negotiated by those respected old people you know, and I am just an executor, responsible for training you, responsible for managing you, and responsible for leading you against bandits! ”

Xu Chuan moved Jing Lao and them out again, he knew that he was nothing in front of these guards, so he could only use the patriarchs to suppress them first, and then cooperate with the silver and silver money and glory to achieve initial control of these guards.

Hearing the confirmation, the crowd began to talk again.

Suddenly, a figure squeezed out of the buzzing crowd and shouted in the crowd: "Even if what you say is true, you are a little kid who has no hair, why do you manage us and train in the army, do you know what army training is?" ”

On the side, another person echoed: "Yes, how can you manage us, we all know that your Xu family kid has only been able to eat, drink and have fun since he was a child, where do you know what army training and management!" ”

Xu Chuan squinted his eyes, and a somewhat familiar figure appeared in his pupils, and after thinking about it, he recognized the person who squeezed forward and shouted as the Xun family's family.

In the past, when the predecessor was messing around with the children of the Xun family, this family member had been with the children of the Xun family for a period of time.

And the other person, although he didn't know him, wanted to come to the same person from the Xun family.

Xu Chuanxin sneered, Xun Guangyuan's old guy really didn't give up, and arranged for the family to come up to make trouble, and wanted him to make a fool of himself and not come to the stage? No wonder he didn't come in person this afternoon, he was waiting here.

didn't entangle with this family, he directly cut through the mess: "This is a decision made by all the respected seniors in the three of us regardless of the area, since you are not satisfied, there is no need for the two of you to participate in the reform of the guards." ”

After speaking, he said to Ji Liang behind him: "Uncle Ji, these two people, please clear them directly." ”

Ji Liang, who was watching from the side, was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, knowing that Xu Chuan wanted to stand up, he stepped forward and pulled out the two Xun family members in the crowd.

Under his hands, the two familymen who looked a little thin were like chickens, and they were carried and thrown out.

was thrown out, and the two were still a little unconvinced, and wanted to come up again to theorize, but Ji Liang and Xu Sanliang, two strong men, stood directly in front of the two, and the two family members immediately retreated.

Xu Chuan ignored the two who were cleared away, looked at the somewhat chaotic guards and then shouted, "Quiet." ”

Waiting for everyone to be quiet, he continued: "The town guard, it's not so easy to be a guard!" Military pay is not so easy to get. ”

"In the future, there is only one duty of the town guards in the three belts, not farming, not hunting, but risking their lives to fight against those bandits!"

"After joining the town guards, you may die at the hands of the bandits at any time, but now you are not the town guards, I give you the opportunity to quit, those who want to quit, those who are afraid of the war dead, and those who don't believe in me, can quit now."

"I'll give you a cup of tea, and if you want to quit, you can leave directly."
