Chapter 51: Recruitment
Although the Maitreya Sect was attacked by a group before this and suffered heavy losses, Fan Zhuoyuan estimated that it would not take a month to return tenfold.
That's at least a million-level income!
Moreover, from now on, all forces had to hand over at least 30% of their income to the Maitreya Sect, which made the resources of the Maitreya Sect unprecedentedly abundant.
With this resource, thousands of private soldiers, even full-time soldiers, can be fully afforded.
Fan Zhuoyuan calculated a little in his heart, estimating that three thousand five is the limit of what he can raise now, and his standard is that of an elite soldier like the Xiaojie Army in the last world.
However, since they have already experienced two worlds, the army must of course go further.
He opened the box in front of him, and there were a large number of letters of introduction recommending him to join the church.
These are all faithful believers who have been assessed and believed to be able to join the Church.
Fan Zhuoyuan couldn't see the words inside, he could only touch it with his hands, although there was no braille in this world, but it was written on paper with ink, and with Fan Zhuoyuan's strong perception, he could still feel the handwriting clearly.
After reading all the recommendations, he made instructions, selected 500 enthusiastic young people to join the teaching, and selected more than 100 middle-aged people with different talents to enter.
These people have been evaluated and recommended by more than three congregations, so they can be trusted in faith, loyalty, and will.
Fan Zhuoyuan planned to train those 500 enthusiastic young people into the seeds of future cadres and put them into the 3,500 new army planned to be established as the backbone.
These 500 young cadres must have a strong political quality, have faith and endure hardships, and can take the lead in everything without complaining.
With them leading by example and taking root at the grassroots level, then the new army that believes in Maitreya will be wholeheartedly supported and their morale will be high, and they will be able to control this army like an arm.
Fan Zhuoyuan planned to train the 500 young sectarians recruited for half a year, in addition to preaching doctrines, but also cultivating various military queue skills, etc., and then arranged to go to the new army.
As for the new army, it is natural that all the soldiers should be selected from the families of trusted believers to be established, which will inevitably arouse the fear of the imperial court, and it can be organized and trained in the name of local preparation for the Japanese regimental training, which is still nominally the army of the imperial court, as long as the official position of a general is hung up.
With the 500 young cultists trained before as the backbone, they carried out full-time in-depth training in the countryside, hoping to form a certain combat effectiveness before the White Lotus Sect rebelled.
The resources of Yangzhou Prefecture are sufficient, but I don't know if the time will come.
In addition, the affairs in the rivers and lakes should also have a special force to deal with, because Fan Zhuoyuan intends to select young handsome people with martial arts roots from all aspects, and train and lead them by himself, a total of more than 100 people.
These talents who specialize in dealing with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, Fan Zhuoyuan will not talk about their background, anyway, they should not deal with grassroots affairs, as long as they abide by the traffic rules.
Regardless of whether they were from a famous and decent family in the past, or in the underworld and green forests, or they were not in the lower nine streams, once they were recruited, they would definitely be given superior exercises to get started.
If you want to improve the exercises, you need to be tested step by step, complete tasks, and establish merit, and different merit levels can be exchanged for different levels of merit.
The upgrade route that everyone can see is in front of them, and it will be very popular, extremely hardworking, and not to be left behind.
These people are all in charge of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and in his opinion, they are still not much more expensive.
After all, a master is worth ten good players, a first-class master is better than ten second-rate masters, and a top master, as long as he is not stupid and given enough time and space, it is enough to kill a hundred first-class masters one by one.
Fan Zhuoyuan's own Dinghai Divine Needle of the Maitreya Sect is enough, and there are four people below, Liang Tianyi, Dong Lun, Zhang Qi, and Tang Ao.
The rest of the people are progressing every day, and it still takes time to hatch.
After tentatively setting the future path, Fan Zhuoyuan called all the backbones of the sect together and listed these projects one by one.
When Liang Tianyi heard that Fan Zhuoyuan actually wanted to train his troops, he was surprised: "Sect Master, we are sect members, not thieves!"
Everyone stared at Liang Tianyi, and Elder Pan sneered, "When the Luo Zu Sect was at its peak, the elite of the sect could fight back and forth with tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the imperial court."
"This ......" Liang Tianyi didn't know what to say.
Fan Zhuoyuan said: "Soldiers are to be trained, I have begun to arrange people to go to the government to operate a regimental training general's position, and on the grounds that there are Japanese robbers in the coastal area of Yangzhou, and local regiments need to be trained in the name of guarding the salt road, I applied to the imperial court for a preparation of Japanese regimental training, 3,500 people."
Elder Pan was surprised, "So many people?! Master, are all these people treated as congregational?"
The members of the Maitreya sect are paid an official salary, and it is definitely not as simple as generating electricity for love.
After all, if you want people to be loyal to the organization, you must grasp both spiritual and material things, and both hands must be hard.
Fan Zhuoyuan shook his head and said, "No, the new army is not a sect, every sect member is a seed, and putting it in one place can affect the elite of a large area, so the elite is not much more expensive, and the standards for review must be stricter.
In the army, at least it is a junior officer, and naturally it is impossible for every soldier to be a member of the sect.
I plan to select the new army from among honest and reliable poor believers, so that only relatively acceptable living conditions can be met to ensure the loyalty of the soldiers, and it will not cost too much money in the early stage.
In terms of equipment, since it is the regimental training unit of the imperial court, it is not difficult to buy it directly in the imperial treasury, and the most important thing is to be able to equip armor and firearms reasonably and legally.
Then the newly recruited 500 young members of the sect will be put into the army, and they will play a role in bringing about the whole thing, so that the army can have its own spirit and spirit."
Elder Pan said, "Pan doesn't understand this, but the sect leader is eloquent and strategic, and the cadres are arbitrary."
Liang Tianyi was puzzled, "What is the Sect Master doing with training so many troops? The battles in the rivers and lakes are mostly limited to the market, and the biggest conflict is just like this time, 500 people have reached the top, and there is very little room for the army to play?"
Fan Zhuoyuan smiled, "The new army is prepared, I have heard that the White Lotus Sect intends to rebel in Jiangnan."
Everyone was shocked, and they all exchanged their heads, Dong Lun said, "Sect Master, is this news reliable? Does the White Lotus Sect really have that much courage? What are they rebelling for?"
Elder Pan said disdainfully: "If there is a chance for the establishment of the sect not to rebel, the current Ming Dynasty Taizu did not use the Ming Sect to rebel in the first place."
Dong Lun smiled bitterly, "Then will we rebel in the future?"
Fan Zhuoyuan smiled, "For the time being, we only want to survive in the cracks, to protect ourselves, and to protect the people in the area we actually control."
He immediately restrained his smile and said seriously: "No matter what, it is imperative to establish a new army, and in the near future, you can help me pay attention to whether there are any imperial generals who believe in this religion, and if there is, please come over as politely as possible, and it is good to assist us in training."
Fan Zhuoyuan is a person who lacks skills and cannot worry about everything, so he needs to be assisted by talents in all aspects.
Everyone responded, and then Fan Zhuoyuan got up and said, "The plan has been listed here, and everyone already knows it in their hearts. Next, these matters will be done in parallel, it will be very busy, and after it is finished, we will drive back the forces of the Wenxiang Sect to the north and completely control Huai'an Mansion! Then to the south, take the original general altar - Ying Tianfu!"
