Chapter 234: Recruiting Veteran Ruffians
At this time, a person hurriedly ran in from outside, panting and said, "I went outside to relieve my hands just now, and I saw one of my former soldiers. I took the opportunity to talk to this kid for a few words. Guess what, this kid fought two battles for these overseas people, and he divided more than twenty taels of silver alone. Paralyzed, he has been a soldier under overseas people for less than a year, and this special thing has been issued.
I also asked them how they were eating, and this kid actually said that there was enough white rice every day, and he could eat a few pieces of meat at noon. How can this be reasonable, I have been a soldier for more than ten years, and I have only saved a few taels of silver by drinking the blood of soldiers. ”
Before the old ruffian finished speaking, the surroundings were already quiet, in fact, everyone was stupid. Even Wang Bo was dumbfounded, he had eaten empty salaries and drank the blood of soldiers all these years, and he had nothing to do with it, and occasionally it was difficult for a merchant ship to cross the sea to get some benefits.
He is quite good among these people, but he has only saved more than two hundred taels of silver over the years. Those who are paralyzed, they also eat food as soldiers, and they divide more than 20 taels after two battles, and they are full at once, and there is meat at noon.
Thinking of this, his eyes immediately turned red, no matter what, he had to run to the past if he said anything this time. Dongjiang Town is finished now, of course those high-level generals are nothing, but they are not sure what to do with these small fish and shrimp at the bottom.
Not only Wang Bo's eyes were red, but everyone else was also crazy. They hurriedly shouted, and asked Wang Bo to go over to deliver the message, scrambling to go to those overseas people.
Li Ming and Song Tao were studying things in the tent when they saw Wang Bo rushing over.
"Two brothers, I talked to those old brothers, and everyone made up their minds. Say that you have to defect to you, Mao Shuai is dead, we can't stay in Dongjiang Town anymore, and the two brothers have to take us in. ”
After he finished speaking, he was about to kneel down at the two of them, and Song Tao grabbed him at once. smiled: "Brother, aren't you scolding me, what kind of thing is this." If you don't want to do it in Daming, come to us, what's this, we have collected more than 200,000 Liao people. Are there still a few hundred of you? ”
Wang Bo listened to Song Tao's words, and immediately burst into gratitude, and thanked him vigorously. Li Ming said lightly: "Our rules there are big, you and your old brothers are all generals in the Ming Army, and we don't have any empty salaries there." Not to mention that the blood of the soldiers has been deducted, and our rules have been broken, but they will be killed. Can you do it? ”
Wang Bo could also tell the difference between the deep and the shallow, and immediately bowed down to Li Ming, and said respectfully: "Please rest assured, general, the brothers also know your charter, and you will definitely not be embarrassed." If we break the rules when we get to you, we will punish you at will. Everyone is a real knife and a real gun, and the Tartars have fought hard. In the past, I was able to bring a few brothers who could fight. ”
Song Tao also smiled and said: "Lao Wang and his old brothers are also enthusiastic, you see...... I still mean to take it all, Lao Wang has done a lot for us. You have to take care of it. ”
Li Ming said with a straight face: "What kind of is this, Lao Wang is Lao Wang, it's no problem to take care of him." But there are still hundreds of people, if they are all taken care of, then the rules are not chaotic. Lao Wang, you find all the people who are coming. I'll talk to them first, don't lose your life when the time comes. ”
Wang Bo was overjoyed when he heard this. hurriedly returned to Shuizhai and found all those veteran ruffians. As soon as these guys saw Li Ming and Song Tao, they wanted to kneel down, wanting to compliment their future generals.
But Li Ming immediately shouted with a cold face: "Stand up." Our soldiers have no rules for kneeling. We don't accept spineless kowtow worms, and we don't just know the kneeling nest. ”
A group of veteran ruffians all stood up, they were all veterans, and they were a little unhappy when they heard Li Ming's words.
Li Ming didn't care about that, he continued with a calm face: "You have all fought with the Tartars, and some of you even crawled out of the pile of dead. It's worthy of the Ming Dynasty, but look at how you guys look like bears, the dignified generals have to kneel when they see the civil officials, what the hell is this rule.
When you are a soldier, you know how to kneel every day, and you kneel so much that you don't even have blood, and you have a fart fight. Your soldiers in Dongjiang Town are good, and they have followed Mao Dashuai to fight with the Tartars, and if they win or lose, they don't mention it, but they dare to fight with the Tartars with real knives and guns, even I have to admire them. ”
When these veteran ruffians heard this, their waists unconsciously straightened, and some of them had red eyes. Dongjiang Town is lonely in the east of the sea, and the soldiers and generals are all Liao people in Liaodong, and they have a deep hatred for the Tartars. At that time, Mao Wenlong raised his arms, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town all responded, and they did not block the Tartars in the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Although the history of the Ming Dynasty is full of derogatory words about Dongjiang Town, there are almost no good words, just because Mao Wenlong is a military general, and the history of the Ming Dynasty is written by scholars and officials. But the old Manchu files of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were not written like that, and they hated Dongjiang Town. In the eyes of the post-Jin regime at that time, it was definitely a big trouble.
It can be seen from this that Dongjiang Town still fought with the Tartars back then, and it didn't matter how much they killed or how little they killed, but their savings made the Houjin regime at that time dare not enter the customs, which is indeed true. In the second year of Chongzhen, on June 5, 1629, seven days after Mao Wenlong was killed by Lao Yuan on Shuangdao, Huang Taiji announced the "whole journey to the west".
Li Ming walked back and forth in front of these veteran ruffians for a few steps, and then said gloomily: "Lao Wang came to me today and said that you want to defect to our Far East, even if it is for the sake of Lao Wang's face, I have to respond." If you come to my Far East to unload your armor and return to the field, I can guarantee that you and your wife and children will live a comfortable life in the future.
But if I still want to be a soldier and eat food, then I have to talk to everyone first. Our soldiers are not so easy to serve, no matter what kind of heroes you used to be, no matter how big the battle is, when you come to us, you have to survive at least 100 days of hardship.
Even I came here like this, and not a day fell. After 100 days, it is not over, and the situation of the drill must be assessed. If you don't have the guò assessment, you have to start all over again. This is the charter of our Far East Iron Fight, even if the king of heaven comes, we can't change it.
Everyone comes to our Far East, and I welcome you with both hands. But if you still want to be a soldier here and eat food, hehe...... I advise everyone not to think about beautiful things. Let's not talk about it if you can survive it, don't lose your head because of the violation of military law. ”
A tall and stout man listened to Li Ming's words and quit at that time. He shouted: "Don't look down on people, don't say it's a hundred days of drilling, even a thousand days I'm not afraid." I just want to ask you, do you go to you to work hard and eat food, and deduct your food? Take away our military merits? Do we have a pension for our wives and children after we die? ”
Wang Bo and they knew it was bad as soon as they heard it, this stunned young man was called Zhang Tiehammer, he was famous for his ability to fight in Dongjiang Town, he was charging forward in every battle, and the scars on his body were one by one. But it's because he has a stinky temper, so now he has a boss.
Let him make such a fuss, don't anger the other party, and stir up everyone's affairs.
Li Ming glanced at Zhang Tiehammer, laughed and said, "At this time, you dare to argue with me, you are good, you are a man." ”
After he finished speaking, his face turned pale again, and he said solemnly: "We are soldiers, and we have to fight for our lives on the battlefield, who dares to deduct our food and salary, and turn against them." If someone dares to take away military exploits in the Far East, it is a great sin, enough to cut a thousand knives.
Brothers work hard for our Far East, not only after death, but also the old lady and wife behind you We will also take care of it for a lifetime, and we will also raise our children until they reach adulthood, enjoy free education, and give priority to our company after graduation. We in the Far East will never allow our brethren to shed blood and tears. ”
Zhang Tiezhu was excited when he heard it, he subconsciously wanted to kneel, but immediately thought of what Li Ming began to say, hugged his fists and bowed deeply, and shouted loudly: "General, my old Zhang's life in the future is yours. ”
Everyone else also bowed down with their fists, Li Ming and Song Tao smiled at each other, knowing that these veteran ruffians were deceived.
"Well, we're leaving in two days, and if any of you want to come to our Far East for a future, come on. In the end of my words, it's okay to come to us to work hard and eat food, and you have to abide by our rules every time, and I will kill my head if I violate military law. ”
When these veteran ruffians left, Song Tao laughed and said: "We are going to break the backbone of Dongjiang Town, and these guys may be able to call a lot of people when they go back, haha......"
After he finished speaking, he frowned and said, "But these guys are not easy to manage, they are not the same as those soldiers who are so hungry that they can't do it,
Those people can't help it, these guys are veterans, and they may have more vices. ”
Li Ming smiled, he patted Song Tao on the shoulder and said: "Westerners have opened up global colonization in this era, and the pioneers are all European scum who can't get along on the European continent, look at the tragic fate of those Indians and blacks." If we get a lot of farmers digging in the soil and send them to the American continent, it won't take two generations for those Western scum to be squeezed to death.
If these guys are trained well, they will bully others in another ten generations, haha...... Let them plague the other peoples, without this fierce vice, what can they do to fight with those Western scumbags.
If you look at the British, they turned out to be pirates, and then they were drug dealers, and they even went to the point of launching the Opium War for drug trafficking. But now he is a gentleman, and he has never blushed for these things, but is very proud. ”
In the next two days, Ocean Island was lively, with boats coming from various islands and Tunpu in Dongjiang Town, and thousands of soldiers came, and some even dragged a large number of people with their families.
Li Ming and Song Tao, regardless of their age or young, took all the orders, filled the two landing ships and left Haiyang Island and sailed in the direction of Jeju. Before leaving, Li Ming also asked the platoon commander who stayed on Ocean Island to instruct him, if there were Ming troops from Dongjiang Town in the future, they would also help take them in first and send them to Jeju Island.
