Zuo Liangyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and pointed to the recruiting officer who was recruiting soldiers in the camp and asked.

"These auxiliaries you selected are all hungry soldiers among the rogues, these people don't have much strength, and many of them haven't even seen blood, why do you want to pick these people."

Chen Wang's gaze followed the place where Zuo Liangyu's hand was pointing to the camp.

At this time, there were already a lot of people gathered behind the recruiters in the captive camp, and these people were selected through selection.

"The elite cavalry and horse army among the rogues are all fighting from the battlefield, and they have all seen human blood, and their men have saved a lot of lives."

Zuo Liangyu's eyes flashed, he really couldn't understand Chen Wang's criteria for selecting soldiers.

"On the plains, even ten hungry soldiers can't beat a single elite horseman."

"Recruit auxiliaries, and most of the battalion generals are brave and brave selected from the thieves' elite cavalry and horse army."

"There are not a few horse soldiers and elite cavalry in the prisoner camp, why don't you choose people from here?"

The hungry soldiers who were selected were almost all scrawny and poorly clothed.

They are all thin and weak, and there are even worries about whether they will be able to handle spears, let alone fight in armor.

As for those who were a little more sturdy, they were all excluded without exception.

Zuo Liangyu turned his head to look at Chen Wang, he didn't understand why Chen Wang chose troops like this.

Even if you really choose auxiliaries to carry baggage, carry armor and do some chores, at least choose some physically strong.

These starving soldiers were selected to meet even the minimum selection criteria.

"If you don't select soldiers from those elite cavalry and horse army, what are you going to do with the remaining elite cavalry and horse army in the prisoner camp when the time comes?"

Zuo Liangyu leaned back in his chair and asked.

"It's impossible for these people to be repatriated, you should know that."

Chen Wang had thought about this question asked by Zuo Liangyu for a long time.

The attitude of the Ming court towards the captive rogues was basically to repatriate them to their hometowns, or to hand them over to local officials to be resettled on the spot.

But that's for the hungry soldiers and the infantry, and the old and weak.

The old bandits among the rogues, that is, the elite cavalry and horse army, generally see if they can be recruited into the army first.

Those who do not want to join the army will be killed directly.

At the beginning, during Yang He's tenure, he still advocated focusing on Fu, so he promised to recruit An.

However, after Hong Chengchou took office, he changed Yang He's previous policy and advocated suppression.

The old bandits among the rogues have always been wiped out, and only after they have been completely defeated will they consider recruiting some of them as an honest reinforcement.

Strict restraints were imposed on the surrender of troops and generals, and various constraints were imposed to prevent them from rebelling again.

"This part of the people has been thieves for a long time, and it is impossible to be ordinary people honestly."

The ending of these people, Chen Wang had already been set from the beginning.

He was going to use these elite horsemen and the head of the horse army to stand in the new army.

At this stage, among the rogues, those who can be among the elite cavalry and horse army are more or less burdened with bloody cases.

All ten of them were killed, and there was definitely one who was wronged.

But if nine out of ten are killed, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net.

"Let them go home, or it won't be long before they rebel again, and then it will affect more places and cause more evil consequences."

Chen Wang knew the consequences very well, and he also knew what forced these people to rebel.

But he doesn't have the power to change these things now, and all he can do now is choose the lesser of two evils.

Wait until you have the ability and the means to change this problem fundamentally in the future.

Zuo Liangyu's expression moved slightly, he felt the killing intent on Chen Wang's body, and his heart couldn't help but feel a slight chill.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"Since you can't be released into the countryside, you don't want to recruit any ideas, I lack some auxiliaries in my battalion, give these people to me."

After a long time, Zuo Liangyu finally spoke again, breaking the silent atmosphere.

"There are more than 500 elite horsemen in the prisoner camp outside Chunhua City, and I can give four taels of silver for each of them to buy their lives."

"Ma Jun, I can recruit 1,500 people, two taels per person."

The elite horsemen among the rogues are all veterans of old battles, and all of them have lives under their hands.

Many of them were originally from battalion soldiers or guards, and they were outstanding in both riding and martial arts.

Because anyone who is a little worse has already died under the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers several times.

The elite horsemen who are still alive among the rogues are all killed in the sea of corpses and blood.

Training is not easy to train, and now where is there any opportunity for people to train well.

Zuo Liangyu can see clearly these days, although he can't read big characters, he has led soldiers for many years.

Chen Wang sent people to select soldiers among the captives, and he knew the characteristics of the soldiers selected.

Coupled with the four rounds of soldiers that Chen Wang had trained before, Zuo Liangyu had already seen some ways.

Most of these selected captives are accents of Sanshui, Chunhua, Zhenning Qingyang Mansion, etc., and they are all new thieves, that is, those who have been coerced.

These people were basically starving soldiers who were used as cannon fodder, and they were launched as meat shields during the war.

There are no advantages, and the courage is weak.

The reason is very simple, those who are more bold and dare to fight for their lives will either die in front of the battle, or they will be selected as infantry or horse soldiers, and it is impossible to still be hungry soldiers.

The only thing that can be counted as an advantage may be to be honest and obedient.

From the eyes of those people, Zuo Liangyu saw all fear.

Those men were afraid of the recruiters, of the soldiers guarding the camps, of orders.

"Mr. Zuo has been helping me a lot in recent days, how can I collect money in the future."

Four taels for one person, more than 2,000 taels for more than 500 people, and two taels for Ma Jun is 3,000 taels.

The total has exceeded five thousand taels, which is already a large amount.

The 170,000 that I obtained before was because I defeated the invading army and intercepted most of the baggage of the invading army.

Where is the ordinary victory with so much money.

Liukou's first-level skill is not worth much now, and a single head can't be exchanged for a silver or two.

It's the Ministry of War that verifies that it is a slashed elite horseman, but at most it is one or two, and there are no more.

Officials who verify military merit are basically constantly depressing military merit for large-scale captures, because all kinds of silver rewards cost money.

Chen Wang is not short of money now, five thousand taels of silver and Zuo Liangyu's favor, in terms of now, Zuo Liangyu's favor is more important.

The road of supporting troops and self-respect is not easy to follow, and it is necessary to win over more people.

In history, Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong helped each other, and they have always maintained their status and army, and then gradually became a separatist trend.

Zuo Liangyu became a "long-legged general" after that.

Now Zuo Liangyu is playing the banner, and he can even make the thirty-sixth battalion frightened.

Chen Wang thought about it for a while, and finally decided to persuade Zuo Liangyu.

Although Zuo Liangyu has a bad record, he is not bad for him.

He even said a lot of things to him from the bottom of his heart.

Although Chen Wang knows a lot of these things, he is also from the perspective of a third party for future generations, so he is so clear.

But in this era, these things and tricks are undoubtedly the truths that Zuo Liangyu has learned all the way.

"If there is no mention from General Zuo in these days, I am afraid that I will definitely make a lot of mistakes in the future."

"I don't have deep experience and shallow knowledge, but I know one thing very clearly."

Chen Wang looked at Zuo Liangyu, bowed slightly, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and said sincerely.

"The elite cavalry and horse army among the rogues have indeed seen blood, and they dare to fight when they fight."

"But they have been scattered and chaotic for a long time, they don't know what military discipline is, they don't have any reverence for discipline, they have never been real soldiers."

"In all dynasties and dynasties, the strong armies in the world are all ordered and forbidden, and the discipline is strict."
