55 crazy army expansion

(Today's chapter is presented, ladies and gentlemen, Xiaoyun is rolling all over the ground begging for collection and subscription, move your little hands to make a fortune, come to collect and subscribe to a wave!) Thank you! )

"Haha, that's a good thing! The big boss deserves to be the big boss, this head is better than the average person, I have been thinking of this idea for decades, why didn't I think of it! ”

Sun Tong surrounded like a top, these two new Furlong machine gun cars were spinning around, looking at this and touching that, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the design of this car was very reasonable, and said in admiration.

Sun Dazhuang listened to his father's scolding, and did not dare to fight back, so he had to take a group of recruits who were newly assigned to him to familiarize themselves with the operation of the three Furlong cannons placed on the new artillery truck.

Looking at these three wheeled artillery trucks, Sun Tong's saliva flowed to his chin, and it is needless to say that he admired Li Zixiao in his heart, and he could only describe it as admiring the five-body throwing to the ground.

It turns out that their big boss not only knows how to fight, but also can do things like improving artillery trucks, and the big boss is simply possessed by Wenqu Star and Wuqu Star in the sky!

It is a pleasure to follow such a big boss, and Sun Tong is also very happy at this time, supervising his eldest son to control and familiarize himself with the new gun carriage.

After all, Sun Tong has been dealing with these firearms and guns all his life, and these things are the same as his two sons.

Sun Dazhuang made a bitter face and shouted at the recruits under him, and began to familiarize himself with this new type of artillery carriage in an orderly manner, but his father kept staring at him from the side, making him uncomfortable.

Sun Dazhuang gave Li Zixiao a look, of course Li Zixiao knew what Sun Dazhuang wanted to do, but he smiled slightly and didn't care about him.

Li Zixiao hugged his arms, looking at Sun Tong's excitement as if he was beating chicken blood, the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile, and he said in his heart, what is this!

Lao Tzu will have a lot of things, this time it's just a small test, after the strength and conditions in the future, when Lao Tzu can make good things, it is estimated that it will scare you guys!

"Sun Dazhuang!" Li Zixiao shouted to Sun Dazhuang, whose face was about to turn into bitter melon at this moment.

"Here!"

When Sun Dazhuang heard Li Zixiao call him, he jumped up reflexively, made a standard upright movement, and hung his hands straight on both sides of his legs, standing like a straight green pine, looking like a soldier.

Originally, according to Li Zixiao's bad taste, since he stood upright, took a break, and walked in unison, these are not included in the training program of recruits, so wouldn't it be more perfect to salute again!

Lao Tzu wanted to train the first modern army in China three hundred years in advance, and Li Zixiao was very excited to think about it, and he seemed to see the solemn and shocking scene of thousands of his subordinates standing straight and raising their hands to salute him in unison.

However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.

Although Li Zixiao's idea is very good, no matter how his soldiers salute, they don't learn it well, and it feels very funny to salute, so in the end, Wang Zirui simply gave up saluting.

This is really strange, why these people under Li Zixiao just can't learn to salute, Li Zixiao can't figure it out.

"Da Zhuang, I will hand over these three Furlong cannons to you, give you two days to familiarize yourself with the operation, and in two days I will see you and your artillery team proficient in the use of this Furlong cannon equipped with a new wheeled gun carriage.

And don't forget the other three Tiger Squat Cannons, all of them must teach your recruits how to use them as soon as possible. Did you hear me clearly? ”

Li Zixiao looked at Sun Dazhuang with his hands behind his back and commanded.

"Yes, big boss! Please rest assured, even if the subordinates do not eat, drink or sleep, they must let these recruits learn how to tinker with these two types of artillery within two days. ”

After Sun Dazhuang heard Li Zixiao's order to him, he agreed excitedly, but he was so excited that as soon as the words came out, his face immediately collapsed.

"Damn, two days? I heard you right, the boss only gave me two days! ”

He only remembered at this moment that Li Zixiao only gave him two days, looked at Li Zixiao with a little embarrassment, and even couldn't help but say a mantra that he learned from Li Zixiao's mouth.

"Hmmm! It's two days, we don't have time to wait, two days later, I'll take you out to do a big deal, and then all of you will count on your artillery team, and then you don't want to drop the chain for Lao Tzu? ”

Li Zixiao's expression became serious, and he said to Sun Dazhuang seriously.

"Yes, my subordinates will do their best!"

Although Sun Dazhuang has not been with Li Zixiao for a long time, he has also experienced several battles, and he admires Li Zixiao from the bottom of his heart.

And he also knew the temper of his big boss, and knew that as long as he made up his mind, he would not change it easily, so although this task was very difficult, he still gritted his teeth and agreed to it.

For Li Zixiao's White Snake Village to continue to recruit troops, many people have enthusiastically signed up for the displaced people who have come to the outside of the mountain pass.

Not for anything else, just to join the White Snake Village, they can have a stable meal, as for the fact that the White Snake Village is a bandit nest, not many people care about it.

If they don't join the bandits, they don't have nothing to eat, do they have to starve themselves to death? Anyway, it's a death horizontal, it's better to join the White Snake Village, what's wrong with being a bandit, at least let them live.

So the young and strong people who had the strength to do it, after hearing the news that the White Snake Village would continue to recruit new soldiers, quickly gathered towards the recruiting platform that Li Zixiao ordered people to set up outside the mountain pass.

"What's your name? How old is this year? Where is home? What did you do before, and what kind of craft will you not have? Those who know how to craft are the first to join. ”

The person in charge of recruiting recruits sent by Li Zixiao was Dong Zhuang, and he took his men to set up a row of tables and chairs on the recruiting platform outside the mountain pass, and then asked these displaced people who came to recruit to line up and question them one by one.

"Wu Yao, this year is twenty-five, my home is from Lao Wuzhuang, Jiyuan County, Huaiqing Prefecture, I used to follow my father to make fireworks, and no one uses that thing this year.

Last year, when the rebels hit us, I escaped with my father and mother, and my father and mother starved to death on the way, leaving me alone.

Good man, look at my body, don't look thin, but strong, and as long as you give me a bite to eat, I can do any job, good man, you can accept me! ”

A thin man squeezed to the front, lying on the table and answering questions with the recruiter, while still boasting that the recruiter would accept him.

The young man who was sitting in front of him in charge of recruiting soldiers looked at the thin man and asked, "You have made fireworks before, do you know how to make gunpowder?" ”

"Yes, yes, of course, I have been following my father since I was a child to learn how to make fireworks, and I must learn to make gunpowder, and the gunpowder I make is absolutely ......"

This thin young man named Wu Yao wanted to continue to preach his ability to make gunpowder, but the cottage young man in charge of recruiting soldiers in front of him was no longer willing to listen, and it was enough to know that this person could make gunpowder.

"Okay, you just said it, now I can clearly inform you that you meet the conditions for our cottage recruitment, take this voucher I gave you, and report to the back."

The young man in charge of recruitment directly stuffed Wu Yao with a string of words written on it, but unfortunately Wu Yao couldn't understand it, but when he heard that he had been recruited, he was ecstatic.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much." Wu Yao bowed to the young man vigorously, and sent him to kneel.

"Okay, don't thank you, I've told you a long time ago, as long as you know some craftsmanship, our cottage is the priority to recruit.

Don't stand in the way of the people behind here, hurry up and report, go there to get your new clothes, someone will take you to the shower, and you can only enter our cottage after taking a bath. ”

The young man in charge of recruitment looked at the emaciated young man who was so happy and carried away, and explained to him with a smile.

Li Zixiao needs recruits well, but what he lacks more at this time are skilled craftsmen, such as carpenters and blacksmiths with the largest gap, and craftsmen like Wu Yao who can make gunpowder are even more scarce.

Li Zixiao specially instructed Dong Zhuo, who was responsible for recruiting new soldiers, that as long as he was a skilled craftsman, he could join them unconditionally, and even allowed them to bring a small number of family members, and the treatment was also very good.

As for those young recruits, strict control is required, the first requirement must be in good health, and then literacy is given priority to recruitment, and those who have been soldiers, such as archers, cavalry, night veterans, etc., are also given priority recruitment.

When recruiting new recruits, Li Zixiao also specially instructed Dong Zhuang to personally take charge of recruiting a group of teenagers between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, and he wanted to form a juvenile battalion, which Li Zixiao had been thinking about for a long time.

And he will not let anyone take this youth battalion, he will personally lead and personally teach these teenagers literacy, the knowledge of marching and fighting.

And these young soldiers were also set up by Li Zixiao in order to train officers in the future, and these young soldiers will grow up in the next two or three years, or even longer, and Li Zixiao will send them to join his combat team as grassroots officers.

Such a group of young soldiers taught by him will be absolutely loyal to him, and at the same time, they will also have extremely high military qualities, and will become the core backbone and mainstay of his army in the future.

Of course, Dong Zhuang has to do Li Zixiao's order seriously, he is personally in charge of a recruitment platform for teenagers, and many of those homeless people are dragging their families and fleeing with their children.

Sooner or later, children will starve to death if they don't have food, and now it is rumored that the White Snake Village is willing to recruit a group of thirteen to eighteen-year-old teenagers into the village, and those homeless parents have sent their children in.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, these homeless parents also hope that their children can live better, and there is only one way to die with them, so it is better to give it to Li Zixiao's White Snake Village to find a way out for them!

Therefore, in just three days, Dong Zhuang recruited more than 180 teenagers between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, and these people will also be brought to the cottage along with the recruited recruits.

On this side, Wu Yao left happily, and immediately went to a wooden table in the back, and the cottage auxiliaries who were waiting here, after seeing the slip in Wu Yao's hand, gave him a set of new clothes, and asked people to lead and wait aside, and when there were more people, they took them into the mountain pass.

Every homeless person who rushed to the recruiting desk answered these recruiters honestly, and the questions asked were notified as soon as they met the requirements, which was very efficient.

The entire recruitment desk is crowded with homeless people who rushed to apply, but the homeless people who can really be recruited, as long as there is less than a 30% chance, most of the homeless people are brushed down because of their health, age, injuries and other reasons.

The people who were not selected could only shake their heads and lament their bad luck, and dispersed one after another, no matter what, Li Zixiao didn't drive them away, they can still be here, mix two meals of porridge a day, and continue to live!

After the recruits entered the village, it was still the old rule, and the new recruits who joined the cottage were all taken to the stream in the ravine without exception, and they were cleaned with a brush inside and out.

And they took away all their previous tattered clothes, handed them over to some women in the cottage, carefully washed and sewed them, and then sent them back, so that they were much cleaner one by one.

In the previous battle when Li Zixiao defeated Liu Jinbao's officers and soldiers, they killed a lot of enemies, and when they cleaned up the battlefield, they naturally took back the materials as much as possible in line with the principle of never wasting them.

Even the clothes and shoes of the dead of the enemy were not spared, but they were all stripped off, and the women were cleaned, sewn, and put into storage for later use, and this time the clothes came in handy and were distributed to the recruits.

Even when Li Zixiao released the villagers of those big families before, he also took off all the clothes on their bodies, which is really in line with Li Zixiao's character.

The work of washing clothes alone has made Old Master Wei very busy, there are very few women in their village, and they have to do so much work at once, they are really too busy, and the men have other things to do, and they can't help at all.

So Li Zixiao gave Old Master Wei an idea, asking him to take out some food, make cakes, recruit some women outside the mountain, temporarily help the village clean and sew these bloodstained clothes, and exchange labor for some food to subsidize their lives.

This time it can be regarded as a complete solution to the problem of lack of logistics manpower, and the women among the displaced people outside the mountain heard that they can also exchange for food to help the White Snake Village clean and repair clothes.

One by one, they all flocked to take over the work, and they all worked very hard, and soon completed the work, washed and sewed the seized clothes and shoes, and returned them to the White Snake Village.

Of course, Li Zixiao has to make use of the labor resources of these displaced people outside the mountain pass, otherwise even if they have money and food in the White Snake Village, it is impossible to feed so many people every day.

Although these old clothes have been washed and sewn, the blood stains on them are not easy to wash off, and many of the clothes still have dark red blood stains on them.

But even so, these clothes are already very rare for these recruits who lack clothes and little clothing, look at the tattered clothes they wore before, tattered and like strips of cloth.

Although there are still some blood stains on these newly issued clothes, they are all the clothes of those officers and soldiers and villagers, and they are all quite complete, and they are much stronger than the tattered clothes they wear.

What's more, each of them was given a pair of shoes, and they no longer had to walk barefoot, which they couldn't have dreamed of before!
