Chapter 7: Li Yan
Their group of people was quickly recruited, although it seemed that the recruitment was quite strict, but most of them successfully became the Great Shun Army, except for a very small number of people with physical disabilities, even the gray-haired old man, thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-grown children, were also successfully recruited, and there were not a few such people.
Yang Xin took a cursory look, it is estimated that there are thousands of people, and most of the weapons allocated to them are wooden sticks, only Baihu like himself has been assigned spears, and Baihu is already the highest official among the recruits recruited.
After the recruitment was completed, more than 1,000 recruits lined up loosely on the school grounds, and at the back of the line, no less than 2,000 family members gathered sitting or standing, pointing and watching the excitement there, all of them were excited and beaming with joy.
"All line up, stand in their respective teams, don't stand around!"
"The third small flag is here, what are you standing blindly, remember your hundred households, and follow the chief in the future!"
"The Eighth Little Flag? The eighth small flag is behind, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, in order, understand? The eighth flag is naturally behind! ”
"All stand up, the general is going to lecture!"
In the queue, more than 40 veterans of the volunteer army are commanding the whole team of recruits, there are more than ten small flags, each small flag is 100 people, and each small flag is a hundred households without exception are recruits, standing at the front of the team, Yang Xin's third small flag and Luo Er's fourth small flag are next to each other, Luo Er's eyebrows are dancing, his face is full of excitement, and Yang Xin is constantly looking back at his team and observing the entire school field.
After the commotion for more than half an hour, these recruits barely found their own team, lined up, looked left and right one by one, and exchanged heads and ears, as if they were meeting their new comrades.
More than 40 veterans waited for the formation of the line, and returned to the middle of the front, and also lined up in a horizontal row to face the recruits. The veterans' equipment was obviously much better, at least each of them was equipped with a long knife, and half of them wore armor, but it was all leather armor, cotton armor and the like. The costumes are varied, I think I usually wear whatever I grab, and there are actually people who wear the mandarin duck jackets of the official army!
A general wearing a white mountain armor, with a slender body, walked majestically to the center, waved his hand to the crowd, and the veterans shouted in unison: "Silence! ”
After a while, the recruits stopped talking to each other, and when the entire school field was quiet, the general said loudly: "Everyone, this general is Li Yan, the marshal of the Beida Battalion, and King Chuang is going to recruit 100,000 recruits into the newly established Beida Battalion, all under the command of this general, from today on, you are a member of the Dashun Army." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Chongzhen has no way, I obey the heavens, kill corrupt officials, punish Haoqiang, save the people from fire and water, today has more than one million troops, swept the world, even Chongzhen Lao'er's Forbidden City was also taken by Dashun, Chongzhen's whereabouts are now unknown, and he must have died in the chaos!" ”
The recruits cheered, and many shouted, "Dashun is mighty!" "Kill the officer!" And so on a messy slogan.
And Yang Xin muttered in private, what? What does it mean that Chongzhen's whereabouts are unknown? Could it be that Chongzhen hanged himself with Wang Chengen on the crooked neck tree in the coal mountain, and the Dashun army still doesn't know?
But this is too impossible, since this matter can be passed on to future generations, it is impossible that they don't know about it, right?
And this Li Yan is a famous general, he can be regarded as a high-level in the Dashun army, and this marshal of the Beida battalion can manage 100,000 recruits.
Li Yan waved his hand, and then said: "In the future, the recruits will be trained every ten days, and the monthly salary will be one or two and a half yuan, and you have already received five taels of three-month salary, and the extra five dollars is the reward given to the recruits by His Majesty King Chuang." In the future, follow the king, the military salary will never be in arrears like the official army, it is paid monthly, meritorious service is rewarded, and there is a punishment, at present, most of the world is still in the hands of the official army, as long as you have the courage to fight, make war achievements, and wait for the generals in the future, no problem! ”
The newly recruited soldiers are the first outpost of the first battalion, this group of people is the first batch of recruits recruited by King Chuangwang into the city, and then, Li Yan introduced their first battalion general Li Shanyi to the recruits, and the first sentry general Li Shanyong, and each small flag and hundreds of households to each flag people and horses know each other, simply put, to know all kinds of commanders.
In this way, he left with the battalion general Li Shanyi, leaving only the sentry general Li Shanyong to arrange the first sentry to be stationed.
Yang Xin took 100 soldiers and more than 100 family members of the banner, and went to the garrison under the leadership of two veterans.
Yang Xin simply took the princess with him, and there were many people in the province.
It was almost evening, and the city was still burning, and there were fires and corpses everywhere along the way.
The two soldiers who led the way complained all the way, and one of them said: "It's really damn unlucky, the brothers are enjoying themselves, but we were sent to recruit new recruits from Raushzi, and we can't grab the money, and we can't even get a girl!" ”
One of them echoed: "Yes, Zhao Laosan, did you say that our general offended King Chuang?" ”
That Zhao Laosan sighed, glanced at Yang Xin on the side, and whispered: "Qian Zhugan, don't talk nonsense in front of these recruits, it will affect morale!" ”
Qian Zhugan laughed and said, "What can't you say?" ”
He turned his head to Yang Xin on the side and said, "Yang Baihu, remember, the 100,000 recruits in the Beida Battalion are all surnamed Li!" Didn't you see that the battalion generals and sentinels were all surnamed Li? Those are all relatives of our General Li Yan, and when the recruitment of recruits is over, our Li Jiajun can also raise their eyebrows in front of King Chuang, and see if those other generals will look down on us in the future! ”
Yang Xin had no choice but to nod in agreement, "The villain understands, thank you for the two adults for your advice!" ”
Although these two people are just leading the way, they are the heralds of the sentry general Li Shanyong, and they are also a confidant.
Qian Zhugan was very satisfied with Yang Xin's answer, nodded and said: "Be clever in the future, follow General Li to eat fragrant and spicy food, no problem!" ”
"We're here!"
On the side, Zhao Laosan stopped.
When Yang Xin looked at it, he saw that everyone had arrived at the gate of a compound, and there were many people inside, and there were laughter from soldiers and wails from women.
A few soldiers at the door were pushing a cart, the cart was full of food utensils, Zhao Laosan stepped forward and said to a leading soldier: "This brother, we are recruits from the Beida Battalion, and we were ordered to come and station here, please let me know!" ”
The soldier was carrying a steel knife in one hand and a wine jug in the other, squinted at Zhao Laosan, and said with a smile: "Just you people, can you also call soldiers?" It's not even as good as the breeding of our men! Wait, the brothers haven't had enough of it, and when it's over, go in and clean up yourself, and remember to dispose of the corpses! ”
