Chapter 121 New City New Scenery Western Legion

"Xincheng" is the new name given by Yu Feng to Mengjinpoli, no matter how unwilling the Korean people in Mengjinpoli are, this name will also replace the name of Mengjinpuri and become the official name in the future. For Velasco, whether it's called Mengjinpuri or Xincheng, it's an irrelevant matter, what he cares about is that this land is now his nominal territory.

In the eyes of the local people, these newcomers are undoubtedly dominated by those blonde and blue-eyed Fanren masters, who constitute the highest ruling class of this land, and the Ming people recruited by Fanren masters naturally belong to the second class, and under this, they are the basic officials of the original local area, managing the people of this land. As for the people, no matter who the ruler changes, for them, there is not much difference, those who should pay taxes still have to pay taxes, and those who should pay taxes still have to pay taxes, and there is not much difference from the past.

As a group that is trying his best to integrate into the aftermaze, the only regret is that the power in his hands is too small, even if he is nominally the owner of this land, his right to speak is far inferior to that of Lord Yun Qingshan Yun, who has sufficient force, this situation, when he first came into contact with Cui Yanghao, he felt very obvious, and when Mu Haitao led three large ships, loaded with hundreds of heavily armed soldiers and military supplies, this feeling made him even more uneasy. He felt that he should do something about it, otherwise, he was afraid that the meaning of this decoration would be even more sufficient, and being marginalized seemed inevitable.

Velasco is a person who is good at seizing opportunities, otherwise, he would not have climbed over decisively as soon as he caught the line of the aftermath, and now that this wealth is in front of him, if he let go of such an opportunity, then he would not be Velasco anymore.

Before Mu Haitao came to Xincheng, he and Mu Haitao had not met, before, one of them was in charge of military training, and the other was in charge of clerical education, of course, there could be no intersection, but this did not prevent him from judging from Yun Qingshan's attitude towards Mu Haitao that Mu Haitao was a big man under General Yu. With this understanding, there is no need to repeat his performance, even if Yu Feng comes in person, he just comes like this. Still when Mu Haitao came this time, Yu Feng's instructions for Velasco and others were to ask him to be as gentle as possible, so he didn't have any reaction to Velasco's various actions of flattering him, but just comforted Velasco and told him to help Lord Yu do things with peace of mind, which naturally would not lose their benefits.

His attitude naturally made Velasco feel relieved, a little more thoughtful, and even took advantage of a certain day when he was talking happily, he opened his mouth to ask Mu Haitao for soldiers, the officers and soldiers of the Fengzi Battalion, although they were trained single-handedly, but outside of training, they could not command a single soldier, but now in North Korea, they are the masters of the high-ranking "Velasco Business Group", and there are no armed forces around them, which is a little too cold, of course, This is also a temptation for Velasco for Mu Haitao, ordinary people are just ordinary people, let the ambitious and pretentious Velasco, just be a puppet in front of the stage, it is really difficult for him, although he does not know the concept of the Ming people such as the great husband's meritorious deeds, but, in his creed, the honor and wealth of knights are won by the weapons in their hands, he just lacked such an opportunity before, and now, it is undoubtedly God who sent this opportunity to him.

What Mu Haitao said at that time really made him not sleep for several days, turning over and over every day, thinking about this matter.

He clearly remembered that the Mu Da said: "My lord said, this time, if you can live idle, just want to live a prosperous life, naturally you will not be able to do so, except for a case of expenses, the teaching camp is run in the new city, and the salary is doubled!" ”

This answer was not the answer he wanted, he listened to Lord Muslim's next words with bated breath: "However, the Lord also said that if Velasco wants to do something, he can't pour cold water on him, although the teaching camp has been established for so long, but the number of people has not been large, if Velasco has the ability to recruit soldiers, it will also be a good thing for my Fengzi Battalion." However, in the past, the teaching camp was a guest status, and if you recruit soldiers and join the sequence of the Fengzi Battalion, everything must abide by the regulations of the Fengzi Battalion, and this must not be forgotten! ”

These words made Velasco very happy, Lord Yu Feng meant that he was allowed to recruit mercenaries to increase his strength, and these mercenaries could also be directly trained to join the adult's army, although he also knew that this army might only be the adult's private army, but all this already made him very satisfied. There are weapons, soldiers, advanced tactics, and the financial and military support of adults behind him, if this is the case, he can't make a career, it means that the God he believes in has abandoned him, and he has to consider whether to change his faith.

However, Mu Haitao told him that since it was a training camp, it was natural to recruit soldiers with military skills different from those of the Ming Dynasty, and as for his original idea of recruiting some soldiers in North Korea or even Japan, it suddenly came to naught under this advice. Lord Yu Feng's meaning, obviously, is to hope that the training camp is to recruit some mercenaries like him from the other side of the ocean, professional soldiers, he estimates, even if he recruits pirates, adults will not care much, as long as it is a Westerner, anyway, if something goes wrong, the adults will only look for him.

Nowadays, there are a lot of soldiers, adventurers and even semi-professional pirates and merchants in the Kingdom of Portugal, England, and France in the East, and if you really recruit some people in these people's settlements, it is not difficult to do so, the problem is that this is North Korea, except for Xincheng, if you want to see Westerners like them, you have to go to Busan, and even if you go, you can't see a few, This is not at all on the main route of these adventurers.

If he wants to recruit men first, he has to go to Japan, Ryukyu, Luzon, or even a little further to Boni, Champong, and Manila, which is too far away, and he no longer has a ship in his hand, so it may not be too difficult to persuade Lord Yu to allocate one such ship for him, and it is not very difficult to do such a thing.

His former sailors, the first and second officers, were also summoned by him one by one to discuss the matter. The recruited people are the soldiers under them, and they will naturally rise to become officers, and the more people they recruit, the more positions and salaries they will have.

"Captain, you don't have to go so far, Kyushu, we are familiar with it, there are a lot of ship merchants from various countries there, let's spread the news, there will naturally be a lot of people coming, don't worry about finding people!"

"Didn't you say that adults don't want those Japanese dwarfs, they want God's believers!" Velasco looked at his subordinates unhappily, his subordinates, all of them can fight, if you want to say how flexible your brain is, it may not be.

"No, Captain, I'm talking about the spread of the news, those mercenaries, fugitives, know that there is such a good place to go, it's not good to inquire, we just need to send someone to guide us!"

"Will it work?" Velasco was a little hesitant, he had been a mercenary well, but he was a petty officer as soon as he joined the army, and he really didn't know that those down-and-out mercenaries were so easy to recruit.

"Okay, like the mercenaries on the Saxon side, as long as they have money, they can do anything, when I was in Kyushu, I knew a lot, and I dared to kill people for a meal, and now we have such good conditions, they don't break their heads and rush to come?"

"Also, isn't General Yu having business dealings with General Daming in the south, don't forget, there is still our foothold in the south of Daming, let's send people over, are you still afraid that you won't be able to recruit people?"

"You mean Kagami?" Velasco frowned: "I remember that the soldiers stationed in our kingdom over there are not as many soldiers as General Yu stationed in Korea, can we recruit people?" ”

"Give it a try, try it and don't get in the way, the news spreads, if there is no effect in three or two months, let's go a little farther away, it will take a certain amount of time for the news to spread, let's wait until the news spreads, and then we will recruit people, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort!"

Velasco's group of people discussed here, and sent people to Kyushu, Jinghao, Mu Haitao knew that not only did he not object, but also provided a lot of convenience openly and secretly, although he didn't understand Yu Feng's approach in many places, but the things that the adults ordered, although he didn't understand, he still had to resolutely carry it out.

The news spread very quickly, almost as soon as Velasco's men arrived at their destination, and the news spread, and many mercenaries, exiles, and even unsatisfactory merchants who had been begging for a living at sea and in the harbor knew that in a newly opened port in Korea, a new colonial army was recruiting, and, in addition to the harvest of the booty, even if they did not fight on weekdays, the soldiers' income was several times that of domestic officers, and they worked there for a year. You can go back to your hometown, buy a manor, marry a wife, and live a sweet little life. For a while, the wind was surging, these people were all eager to try, and even more anxious people, inquired about the general location, took their belongings, and went straight to the past. Every day in the newly opened port of the new town, foreign men, women and children disembarked from the sea boats and inquired about Sir Velasco's whereabouts.
