Is 200,000 taels enough? No matter if it's enough or not, if it's not enough, you can't just think about it, you can't watch such a good class of troops run away.

Yi went to lay down a heart, waved his hand, and said, "Isn't it just five hundred firearms, buddy doesn't believe that he can't afford so many firecrackers." ”

Chen Dacheng was overjoyed: "That's really thank you to the prince, who helped us solve the employment problem of more than 1,000 people." ”

Yi Yun snorted and sneered a few times, slapping a swollen face and being fat did have a kind of dark refreshment in his heart.

Chen Dacheng lowered his voice and said, "Lord Wang, actually...... Let's Yiwu...... Ahem...... Not only these 'guns', but also 800 Qian'er, do you want to take them all?"

"Shenma?" Yi Yun was shocked, your sister, five hundred have already killed me, and you still have eight hundred? It's really scared to death, this one can't be asked for anymore, and Xiao Jiashan really doesn't need so many soldiers, unless he finds the cork of the Shanghai oasis and excavates the whole of Shanghai, when he occupies a lot of territory and sits on the port of Shanghai, he needs more troops.

The corners of Yi Yun's eyes twitched painfully, and he whispered, "This...... I really want to, but I really don't have any money, you help me take care of them, and when I have money, I will take these thousands of 800 soldiers with me. ”

Chen Dacheng's face was full of disappointment, but the fact that the five hundred soldiers were accepted by Yi Yun just now already made him overjoyed, and he really couldn't accept it, and there was no way. I only hope that Yi Yun will be able to recruit troops again in the future.

In the end, Yiyun recruited 1,400 soldiers from Yiwu, of which 500 were gunners, 300 guards, 300 soldiers, and 300 archers, which was a decent army.

The annual salary of these 1,400 soldiers should be 42,000 taels, because Yi Yun has already given 50,000 taels to Chen Dacheng as a deposit, so there is no need to pay extra, Chen Dacheng took out the money and distributed it to these soldiers, so that they can be soldiers within a year, and they must listen to the command of the prince of Jiashan to deal with the Japanese invaders. After dividing it, he planned to return the rest of the money to Yi Yun, but Yi Yun refused to accept it, and asked him to use the money to buy a lot of food for the thousand and four hundred people, and each of them had a full bag so that they would have something to eat on the way to the Jiashan Oasis.

After all the distribution stopped, Yi Yun took the new army and planned to go back, Yiwu was crowded, all came to the city gate to see off their own soldiers, many people hugged with tears, a miserable scene, this year...... It's not that they can't get by, who wants to leave their hometown and become a soldier?

Yi Yun said with a smile: "Don't be sad, follow me, keep it for a good life, and return to your hometown with the bounty in the future, you can build Yiwu more beautiful." ”

He swept his eyes and found that everyone in this group of Yiwu soldiers had their own weapons in their hands, and they were still those large items, including hoes, dung blades, shovels and other things. Yi Yun couldn't cry and laugh again, and hurriedly ordered: "Everyone put these things home, when you get to the Jiashan Oasis, I will arrange new weapons for you, we don't want these things." ”

So the Yiwu soldiers ran home to put away the farm tools, and the city gate was a mess and a mess.

When Iyun was depressed, a little girl suddenly ran up to him and tugged at his pants. Yi Yun lowered his head, it turned out to be the little girl who led him the way when he first came to Yiwu.

The little girl said to Yi Yun: "Big brother, you are a good person...... Don't treat us Yiwu people badly. ”

Yi Yun smiled and touched her head: "Don't worry, the big brother will definitely not treat them badly if he takes these people away." ”

After saying goodbye, Yiyun's big sand car slowly drove out of the Yiwu oasis and returned to Jiashan, with 1,400 Wuwu recruits, following with empty hands and grain bags on their backs. Since they didn't have new uniforms yet, they were all dressed in tattered cloth and didn't look like an army at all, but like a team of migrants on the move. ...,

Returning all the way, there were no more accidents such as robbers and robbers, but Yi Yun brought such a large number of "recruits", which made the officials of the Great Meng Kingdom in the oasis along the way feel very funny. When they saw the newly recruited soldiers in Yiyun's clothes and armor and thin bodies, they all laughed at this army.

A joke began to circulate in the Jiangnan realm, the prince of Jiashan recruited a garbage army, and he would cry in the future. These people don't know that in the near future, Yiwu soldiers will become an undefeated legend that will sweep the world.

After returning to Jiashan, Yi Yun immediately got busy, the new more than 1,000 soldiers had to arrange accommodation, the Jiashan Oasis used to have only a hundred garrisons, so the barracks were very small, and it was crowded with two hundred guest soldiers borrowed from Jiaxing. Li Chengyu sent the two hundred soldiers back to Jiaxing and vacated the barracks, but it was still not enough to live and had to be expanded. Yi Yun's poor wallet was squeezed again, and he took out a few thousand taels of silver to build a house.

Fortunately, Yiwu people are all hardworking and capable, do not need to spend money to hire plasterers, they themselves are good at building houses with stones, they divide half of the people to the coastal Jinshan to beat stones, the stones are broken into small pieces and transported back to Jiashan, and then piled up into rows of neat barracks, because the Jiashan oasis is too small, the area of the barracks can not be too large, Yiwu soldiers can only be four people, or eight people crammed into a room, very much like the student dormitory of later generations.

However, they did not complain a word, and they were paid a military salary of thirty taels for one Chinese New Year's Eve, and they felt that what they should do was also right.

Li Chengyu gathered these recruits, started with the simplest queue training, and practiced day and night. Although the Yiwu people have the courage of flesh and blood, but have no experience in the battle formation, if they do not have training to throw themselves into the battlefield, the result is the courage of the horseman, although it is terrifying enough, but there is no real army kind of cooperation and training, even if the enemy can be overwhelmed in momentum, they will lose a lot. So start with basic training and turn them into real thugs little by little.

Shui Miao made armor day and night, and made a unified military uniform for the 1,400 soldiers, and the soldiers of the Dameng country used "cotton armor", which is made of cotton, linen, weaving and other materials, the cost is relatively low, the material is relatively light and soft, and it can be worn on the body to ensure freedom of movement, and after wetting the water, it can also resist the shooting of primary firearms.

Yi Yun didn't get more advanced armor for the soldiers, because he also felt that cotton armor was enough, and if the Yiwu "gunners" were used as the main force in battle, then the lighter the armor, the more suitable it was, and it was not necessary to wear it bulkyly. In modern times, armies usually wear cloth clothes, because after the appearance of hot weapons, there is no need to wear armor all over the body......

After solving the problem of military uniforms, it is the problem of weapons, the weapons of the three professions of "guard", "soldier" and "archer" are very simple, Yiyun sent the "foot merchant" girl of the Meng Niang Brigade to go to the big market in Jiaxing, and bought back a lot of serious steel knives, steel guns, iron shields, and longbows, and completely armed 900 ordinary soldiers.

These soldiers were very excited to get their hands on the first-class steel weapons, and they waved them happily. The poor five hundred soldiers watched from the side, with envious eyes on their faces......

At this time, Yi Yun also had a headache...... Where are the 500 "guns" going to get guns for them? Jiaxing has not been sold, Suzhou has not been sold, and Hangzhou has not been sold...... It's not something you can buy at a blacksmith's shop.

Yi Yun has always felt that the Great Meng Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty are very similar, he remembered that there was a department called the War Bureau in the Ming Dynasty, which specialized in the production of fire guns, so he called Li Chengyu to inquire, but he didn't expect that the Great Meng Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty were completely different in this regard, and there was no manufacturing technology for fire guns at all...... In the entire Great Meng Country, no one can make a fire gun. ...,

I'm really depressed now, don't the people of the big cute country play with firearms? So how can there be such a profession as "gunsmith"? This is completely a cheat.

A few days later, a good news came back, the big ship led by Luo Leg Mao had returned to Jinshan from Ningbo Port, all the goods were sold short, and a lot of silver was earned.

The former pirate den has been renovated, with a hundred Ukrainian soldiers stationed here to manage it, the cave is clean, the road is smoothed, and a simple dock has been nailed out of wood on the edge of the bay. Three large sea ships leaned against the edge of the pier, two of which had been moored for a long time, and the bottom of the ships was crawling with strange sand crabs and sand mussels. The other one had just returned from sailing, and Luo leg hair stood on the bow of the ship, with black and bright leg hair, which looked very bright. The girls of the Meng Niang Brigade who went to Ningbo with him have tanned a lot, and many of them have turned into healthy wheat-colored skin, which looks very pleasing to the eye.

"Luo Leg Hair, are you in good spirits?" Yi Yun smiled, "Leg hair has grown and started to get stiff again?"

Luo Leg Mao was most afraid of Yi Yun, and when he saw him talking, he hurriedly said, "Don't be sure, don't shave my leg hair again." ”

"Was the voyage enjoyable?" asked Iyun with a smile.

"It's very happy, sailing on the sea is much more exciting than in the river, hahaha. Luo Lemao laughed and said: "Lord Wang, I have become obsessed with the feeling of driving a boat on the sea, and I don't want to go back to the river in this life." I want to change my ways, please accept me, let me be the leader of the navy for you. ”

"Cheng!" Yi Yun actually needs a person who knows how to sail, although this person is not familiar with the sea, but once he is born, he is familiar with it twice, and it is better to have such a person than to have no one available. He ordered the soldiers to untie the shackles of Luo's leg hair, and said with a smile: "I am now a ship with a small number of people, not enough, you want to vote for me, and call your former subordinates as well, and I will transfer these three big ships to you to manage." ”

Luo Lemao was overjoyed: "No problem, these three big sea ships are more than ten times stronger than my previous river boats, and they are all under my control? Hahaha! It's so happy!"

Yi Yun scolded with a smile: "Okay, don't talk about it, quickly report to me, what have you gained from going to Ningbo this time." ”
