According to those who were among the first to join Yu Zizhen's private army, they were able to eat two dry meals and one porridge every day.

The dry rice is served in the morning when the sun rises, in the afternoon when the sun is in the west, and in the evening, in order to save food, the captain only lets them drink multigrain porridge and eat wild vegetable dumplings.

But even if it's just multigrain porridge and wild vegetable dumplings, their families, relatives, and neighbors are hard to eat.

When everyone heard this, they were all envious, but this was not the end.

Next, the onlookers showed the onlookers their new straw sandals, their new weapons, and the fine rattan armor they had hidden under their rags and worn home.

Thanks to them, Yu Zizhen's subordinates soon ushered in a large number of people who wanted to join them.

However, to the disappointment of those fishermen, Yu Zizhen's subordinates did not accept everything.

If you want to enjoy the good treatment of others, then you must also meet the recruitment conditions of others.

However, Yu Zizhen's subordinates did not disappoint the other fishermen who did not meet the requirements, they not only distributed a day's rations to every fisherman who met the conditions for Daqi's conscription, but did not meet their recruitment standards, but also said that they would send someone to teach them martial arts and make weapons in the future, so that they could have a little more self-protection in the face of Haikou and Japanese pirates.

On top of that, the other party also vaguely revealed that after the number of people has grown to a certain size, they will unite with other forces to fight against the pirates and pirates, and completely drive out this group of beasts that are inferior to them.

When the fishermen who had been eliminated heard this, they immediately turned their worries into joy, and they took the miscellaneous grains and dumplings they had received and returned to their villages happily.

And those who were chosen, the first lesson given to them by Yu Zizhen's subordinates was to prepare them mentally to face death at any time.

In their words, of course, they will try to reduce the damage as much as possible, but there are no absolutes, as long as they fight with real knives and guns, injuries and deaths can never be avoided.

That's why they didn't accept fishermen who were the only children in their families when they were just choosing.

Before the young adults who had just been selected had time to rejoice, a basin of cold water had already been poured on their heads, and their excitement and excitement receded in an instant.

But even so, when Yu Zizhen's subordinates asked them if anyone wanted to repent, they firmly chose to shake their heads vigorously, saying that they "will never regret it".

They think very clearly.

In today's world, even if they stay at home honestly, death will still find them when it should find them.

Those pirates and pirates will not let them go because they are honest and stay at home, and there are also those corrupt officials and bastard bullies, and these people have never been kind to them because they are honest.

Anyway, their situation is already so bad that it can't be worse, so why don't they take the opportunity to work hard for themselves and their families?

Don't talk about what is far away, only what is near. At least after joining this team, they can not only eat enough and learn their own skills, but also take some food home every month.

No matter how this account is calculated, they are making a lot of money.

The fishermen who understood the pros and cons did not regret and flinched, and every day after that, they were congratulating themselves on their original choice.

Because they not only drove away the pirates and pirates under the leadership of Yu Zizhen's subordinates, but also pursued them with victory and recovered more than a dozen large-scale islands that were originally held by pirates and bandits.

These islands have been extralegal places for many years, and because of the inaction of the Daqi naval army, the pirates and pirates live directly on the islands very close to Daqi.

After Yu Zizhen's subordinates drove away the pirates and pirates, they found a large number of slaves and belongings on the island.

The slaves were taken from the coastal fishing villages by the pirates and the pirates, and they brought them back to the island, and selected young and beautiful girls and daughters-in-law for their amusement, while the rest were forced with knives and guns to either farm, fish, fish, or cook, wash, spin and weave.

Considering Yu Zizhen's consistent style of acting, Yu Zizhen's subordinates immediately restored the freedom of those slaves on the island.

For those who are willing to go home, they will arrange for boats to take them back, and if they are not willing to go home, they will also choose another habitat for these miserable people.

Especially those poor women who were devastated and devastated, Yu Zizhen's subordinates even gave them a chance to be re-elected.

In other words, if they return home and life is not satisfactory, they can choose to go elsewhere and start again.

Of course, only a very small percentage of all women are willing to go home, and even those who have not been defiled by the pirates and pirates, but have been in charge of laundry, cooking, spinning and weaving, most of them have retreated because of the power of the world.

They know that even if they are innocent, their neighbors and even their relatives will not believe them.

They don't want to be pointed at all day long, they don't want their family members to be pointed at, and they don't want to hear their family members say "why are you coming back" and "why don't you just die outside".

Those who choose to go back are not ignorant of the fearful words of others, they just have worries that they can't let go, and they still have the last bit of hope and confidence in their relatives.

Needless to say, those who chose to go to other places to start over, Yu Zizhen's subordinates not only arranged for doctors to treat their injuries, diseases, and recuperate their bodies, but also took out a part of the property accumulated by the pirates and pirates and distributed it to them, so that they could have money to live with.

When they adjusted their bodies, Yu Zizhen's subordinates didn't directly throw them away.

After soliciting their opinions, Yu Zizhen's subordinates arranged them to the embroidery workshop, weaving workshop, and grange under Yu Zizhen's name.

There, they will not be humiliated, they can rely on their own labor to dress and feed, and if they want to in the future, they can even ask a matchmaker to help find a suitable person to marry.

Compared to them, most of those who chose to go home did not end well.

Except for a very small number of people who are indeed accepted by their families, and their families are willing to move out of their homeland for them, so that they will not be pointed at to live, the vast majority of others are just as they are afraid, and as soon as they go back, they are directly told by their family members "Why do you want to come back" and "Why don't you die outside".

If it weren't for Yu Zizhen's private soldiers, who were responsible for sending them back, some of them would have been forced to commit suicide on the spot. (End of chapter)
