Chapter 47: The Matter of Recruitment
Ginger, from the voice of the woman and the sheep. Shennong lives in ginger water and thinks it is his surname. Listen to the name of Lu Yang, see his appearance again, if you are smart, you should have doubts.
"Lord!! How could you ...... here" Originally, it was just a matter of dealing with a simple recruit fight, Li Dan, who had just been promoted to general because of his merits, didn't want to see Jiang Qi dressed as a common man in the crowd, although he couldn't believe it, but he didn't dare to admit his mistake, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
"Meet the lord......" Li Dan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, the guards behind him were all leopard knights, all of whom had seen Jiang Qi at close range, and they didn't dare to slack off immediately, and knelt down on one knee to bow down.
"Ah......" The situation changed suddenly, and the recruits, who were about to feel the anger of the general, were interrupted by a strange boy who didn't know the height of the sky, which made them even more incredible, and the majestic general suddenly became sincerely afraid.
"Get up! Brother Dingfang doesn't need to be polite, we are from the same family, we are brothers, why bother, Ben Hou entered the new barracks today, but I just want to see how the recruitment is, and I have no other meaning! Although he didn't want to end his disguise trip so soon, he basically saw what he wanted to see, and he didn't have much time to stay longer, Jiang Qi stood up when he saw Li Dan appear, but his face was not very good at the moment, and he was supporting and airway at the same time.
"The last general is unfavorable, and he is ashamed of his trust in the lord, and the newly recruited recruits are all in a fight, please surrender to the lord......" Regarding Jiang Qi's sudden appearance, Li Dan didn't dare to speculate that it was just a coincidence, and now that the state was newly determined, how many things were waiting for him to be busy, how could it be meaningless to appear here.
"Hahaha! Brother Dingfang is serious, fighting in the army is not new, not to mention that he is still a newly recruited pawn, and the brother does not need to care. What this brother Wang said just now is very good, they are all descendants who are not afraid of the earth, they should have this blood, if they don't settle their grievances in the army now, they can really live and die together on the battlefield in the future, right? ? In order to save his face, Jiang Qi deliberately talked and laughed, but he patted the unlucky guy who was shaking like chaff under his eyes as he spoke, which was enough to make Wang Sheng, who realized that the situation was serious, was scared half to death.
Although Jiang Qi said it easily, but for Wang Sheng, he didn't dare to take a breath, he just thought that he had met a friend who could make friends, but he didn't want to see everyone saluting him and calling him 'Lord', he just reacted, he stepped on the shit today, who can make the general who can lead the army call the lord in Bingzhou, even if he is slow and thinks about it, he should understand.
Immediately, Wang Sheng knelt on the ground: "The villain, the villain just now, I don't know what it is, it's the general in person, talking nonsense, talking nonsense, talking nonsense......"
"Hahaha! Get up, get up, my brother just said a word, I, Jiang Boxiao, have benefited a lot! Didn't we just talk about each other? Why is this at the moment, get up and speak, get up and speak! Why is the official called a lonely widow, Jiang Qi, who is in the upper position, has more and more feelings about this, of course, he understands Wang Sheng's current mood better, and then pulled him up.
"The villain is guilty of death, I didn't know it was a general just now, just ......now, just now, just now" Until now, Wang Sheng still couldn't believe it, the person he just talked to was the legendary General Qilin, but he had to believe it, and when he thought of what he said, he regretted it, and quickly asked for guilt.
Wang Sheng's behavior Jiang Qi is clear, he doesn't expect to change, let alone change, after all, the power of the general must be destined for the soldiers to have a heart of fear, but Jiang Qi hopes that the soldiers under him are not only afraid of themselves, but also willing to follow him. Then he patted his shoulder and said affectionately: "Those who don't know are not guilty, not to mention, there is no crime, Brother Wang must not say so, you and I will be brothers in Pao Ze in the future, and we can talk about it today, it is fate, Jiang remembers you, if his brother retires and gets married, he must invite Qi to have a drink!" ”
"Hahaha, everyone, although Qi is a general, but today is a recruit of the Jiang family's army, don't hide it from everyone, Qi joined the army at the age of sixteen, as soon as he entered the camp, he was appointed as the Sima of the Yue cavalry battalion by the former General He, and it was the first time to be a soldier, and today I can become a recruit of the cavalry battalion, a song, a second team, and a new soldier, whether you are from Bingzhou or Jizhou, from today on, you are all from my Jiang family. In the past, you may be a businessman, a farmer, or a student, but in the future you will be a robe, and in the next six months, I hope you can support each other, and when he waits, Qi hopes to fight with you on the battlefield. ”
"I am willing to die for the general!!" Jiang Qizhi is easy, the generals in the army have long been clear, and he has just accompanied his eldest son in a fierce battle, and now listening to the words of Pao Ze, Li Dan sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but salute.
"Willing to ......die for the general" I had only heard of a general who had achieved ten thousand bones before, but now when I saw Jiang Qifang, I knew why so many people were willing to be dry bones, and now I listened to his words, even if the recruits present had their own reasons at the beginning of their careers in the army, but at this moment, I heard the heroic words, and I was able to get along with them at close range, and now I just want to serve him to the death.
………………………………………………
"Brother Dingfang, how many people have you recruited in the cavalry camp now?" After bidding farewell to the many recruits who were moved to become loyal to the death, Jiang Qi asked after going to Li Dan's military tent.
"Back to the lord, this time the lord asked to recruit a thousand knights, but although Jinyang Qingzhuang is active in the army, but there are so many people in the city, I'm afraid it will ......" Although there were no two people back to the military tent, Li Dan still replied carefully.
"Senior brother doesn't need to be so restrained, you and I are from the same family, and when there is no one, brothers can be commensurate, and they can speak up!" From the first time they met, their identities were different, Jiang Qi didn't expect his peers to be like Zhao Yun and Tong Fei, but he still wanted to be close, and smiled easily.
"No! Although there are a lot of people who have joined the army these days, there are not many who meet the requirements of the cavalry, and the first song is only halfway through. The infantry battalion managed by General Zhou Cang was slightly better, but it was only the first full formation. If this continues, I am afraid that I will not be able to recruit enough people for a month. With Jiang Qi's peace, Li Dan also relaxed a lot, and then said truthfully.
"Hmmm! Before recruiting troops, Qi had expected that the problem of recruiting troops in Jinyang would be similar to the rest of the counties. How difficult it has been to merge with the state in recent years, not to mention the serious loss of displaced people, that is, under the governance of Ding Yuan, Taiyuan and Shangdang Qingzhuang have been recruited early, I heard that when Lu Bu took refuge in Dong Zhuo, he brought nearly 100,000 soldiers, these soldiers and horses in addition to Hanoi and Zhang Liao recruited in Jizhou, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of young people in Jizhou, and at this moment Qi is recruited again, how can there be excellent soldiers......" For the loss in Li Dan's words, Jiang Qi met it early, and expressed his understanding with emotion.
"What the virtuous brother said is very true, but Dan feels that it is not only that, Taiyuan County has not been peaceful recently, and Ding Bingma has indeed requisitioned a lot of people and horses earlier, but the young and strong people who are really capable are not necessarily requisitioned and transferred. The virtuous brother should know that in the current troubled times, self-protection is the first, just like the Luoyang family every household raises private soldiers for self-protection, is there no Taiyuan ? Whether Jiang Qizhi expected it, Li Dan didn't dare to speculate, but he couldn't help but say what he thought.
"Hahaha! Senior brother can say that the question is sharp, but what he said is not bad, above the troubled times, self-protection first, my Jiang family raised thousands of private soldiers to guard Wubao when they were in Luoyang, although Taiyuan is not as noble as the prince in the Beijing Division, but this problem must be indispensable, but is it really what you think in your heart? I didn't expect Li Dan to suddenly say such a thing, and Jiang Qi agreed in surprise.
"As the virtuous brother expected, Dan usually only likes to dance with knives and guns, so he will notice this, but when he went home yesterday, my father mentioned the recruitment of soldiers, and mentioned it in passing." didn't want Jiang Qi to see through what he mentioned, Li Dan said with a little embarrassment.
"When it comes to Uncle Shi, Qi is very ashamed, he only visited once when he first arrived in Taiyuan, and he has not visited him recently, and he asked his senior brother to apologize on his behalf." Jiang Qi naturally remembered the father in Li Dan's mouth, and he was also in awe in his heart, and then sighed with emotion.
"The virtuous brother can't say that, not to mention that the virtuous brother is now the state pastor, that is, the position of General Dande is already busy every day, not to mention the virtuous brother. My father often said that it is a blessing that my family can produce a virtuous brother. What Jiang Qi said was indeed the truth, and Li Dan naturally knew it, so he would not think that he was ungrateful and understood casually.
"Then I don't know what kind of trick Uncle Shi has to solve the recruitment of soldiers? Could it be that he is saying that he will incorporate the private soldiers of the family? To get down to business politely, Jiang Qi was curious to know what Uncle Shi had to say, after all, their Li family was also a squire in Jinyang, and if the government incorporated private soldiers, it didn't seem to be of any benefit to their family.
Dan also thought about this, just like the soldiers of the Jiang family in the army today, all of them are brave, presumably the private soldiers of the family must not be mediocre people, if they can be collected for their own use, they will definitely be able to add wings to the tiger. When I went home yesterday, my father also suggested that the wrestlers in the family should join the army, and the virtuous brother thought it was feasible. With such an obvious suggestion, Li Dan naturally would not admit it, and then expressed his thoughts.
Li Dan's words were sincere, Jiang Qi naturally didn't feel fake, and it was also the reason why he preferred to get along with the generals, and immediately said sincerely: "Hmm! As the senior brother said, those who can be a family, a wealthy family, and a private soldier will naturally not be mediocre, not to mention rangers and samurai, at least they will have some fists and feet, if they can be co-opted, it will naturally be good, just like the three thousand sword battalions of General Wang Yue in * now, the martial arts are strong to form a battalion, and its power is not comparable to ordinary elites. However, there are some things that are unattainable, not to mention that the sergeants and soldiers of the army pay more attention to group fighting than individual force. Senior brother, do you know why more people in our army recruit honest people from the countryside? Being able to do the order and prohibit is the basic in the army, and compared to the chivalrous man who is arrogant and arrogant, Qi prefers ordinary young people who listen to orders. ”
"What does that mean by the virtuous brother? Won't you think about the co-optation of the family's private soldiers? Obviously, although Jiang Qi's words were reasonable, the first suggestion was rejected, and Li Dan looked a little discouraged.
"The suggestion made by the senior brother has been rewarded, but at the moment, my Jiang family's army has just recovered and merged the state, some things cannot be rushed, the family and the wealthy family are the foundation of a solid foundation, if they are incorporated at this moment, the consequences can be imagined. Senior brother, how difficult it is for the imperial court at the moment, we need a stable annex state, otherwise when will we be able to send troops to get rid of the thieves...... However, the family guards too many private soldiers, and it is indeed a hidden danger...... "I also saw that Li Dan was a little disheartened, Jiang Qi simply said what he thought in his heart, hoping that it would not hit his heart.
"Brother Xian is Yan, ready to send troops to respond to the Kwantung Righteous Army and attack Dong Zhuo?" Although he didn't get approval, Li Dan was a little unwilling, compared to 'sending troops to get rid of thieves', it was a small problem, and he immediately tried to find out what everyone was most concerned about at the moment.
"Huh...... How brother? You wouldn't be like the second brother and Wen Ruo, and you want Qi to send troops to the customs immediately, right? Originally, it was just an unintentional remark, but I didn't think that Li Dan was very excited, and Jiang Qi immediately laughed again.
"Don't hide it from the virtuous brother, this is the thing that Dan is most worried about, now the war in the Kwantung region has begun, Wang Kuang and Cao Cao have been wiped out, Dong Zhuo's momentum is unrivaled, people with lofty ideals in the world have called the virtuous brother to send troops, but Dan is now entrusted with recruit training by the virtuous brother, I am really afraid of ......" At present, everyone in the world is concerned about the war between Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung Righteous Army, and the Jiang family army is even more conjecturing if the army is sent who can follow the left and right, at this moment, Li Dan naturally wants to listen to it.
"Hahaha...... Senior brother is too worried, you are the deputy general of the leopard cavalry, and Yide is the vanguard officer of the Qi in every battle, if you send troops, you will naturally bother the senior brother. However, the most important thing at the moment is to recruit troops to improve the defense of the county, and it is not my Jiang family's army style to fight with a group of rabble, and senior brother does not want to fight side by side with a group of robes with different thoughts. "In the Jiang family's army, Jiang Qi and below are all militants, every time they hear that there is a fight, they are not to be outdone, and now seeing Li Dan like this, Jiang Qi laughed again.
"The major events in the DPRK and China, Dan can't understand, but at this moment, listening to the words of the virtuous brother, Dan is relieved...... "If you are not in your position, you will not be in charge, not to mention that there are not so many ideas, now you can hear that if there is a war, there will be him, Li Dan has already smiled with satisfaction."
"As long as the sister-in-law doesn't resent the little brother when she falls, Qi will also be relieved...... Hahaha......"
"Dan can't guarantee that Dan didn't do anything more back then, and his father just found a strong lady to take care of it, and now Dan's status in the family is very low...... I'm ashamed......"
"Hahahaha......"
"Report ...... Enlighten the lord, the master of the drama sent someone to report, and there is an envoy in Hanoi who asks to see the lord......"
The two brothers talked happily and had a lot of close relations, but unfortunately the good times were short-lived, and when a soldier came in a hurry, the happy day was over.
