The fourth watch is coming, asking for collections, asking for recommendations

"The little one eats Lord Zhu's food, wears Lord Zhu's clothes, takes Lord Zhu's silver, and becomes Lord Zhu's soldiers!"

The soldier who shouted was grateful, and he didn't know if it was true or false? As he spoke, he took off the straw hat on his head, revealing a large bare head.

"Well done!" Zhu Jishi nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and took out 8 pieces of Nayang from the basket carried by Huang Zhisheng and Ren Yijiang next to him and put them in the straw hat of the soldier in front of him. Today is the day of Lanfang's army salary, although Zhu Jishi doesn't know much about history, but he still knows that this kind of thing is very popular in the army of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China! Now that he has gathered a total of two battalions of Chinese soldiers, he can't make such a fuss again, so the work of paying these two battalions of Chinese soldiers is personally responsible for Zhu Jishi.

Before today's salary, Zhu Jishi also gave an order - shave his head! All the Chinese in the Lanfang Army, starting from Zhu Jishi, have to shave the monk's head, and no one is allowed to keep that annoying braid. These more than 1,600 people ate Zhu Jishi's food and got Zhu Jishi's salary (in fact, the Luo family's Sixiu Hall allocated 50,000 yuan to Zhu Jishi at one time, but the eldest sister of the Luo family is Zhu Jishi's food sooner or later, and the 50,000 yuan is no different from Zhu Jishi's money, don't mention it), she is wearing Zhu Jishi's clothes, and she has no relationship with Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, so what braids do you have?

Won't cut? Hehe, what do those underworld thug-turned-officers eat? So more than 1,600 men are now a big bald head for everyone, that is, many people have blue noses and swollen faces, but Sir Zhu doesn't care, in his doctor's opinion, this little injury can't be fatal.

In addition to cutting braids, when taking money, you also have to shout: "Eat Lord Zhu's food, wear Lord Zhu's clothes, take Lord Zhu's silver, and be Lord Zhu's soldiers!" This sentence. This is called political and ideological education! Zhu Jishi is a layman in politics, and he was once a member of the glorious Chinese GC Youth League, and he still knows the truth of power coming out of the barrel of this gun, although there are only two battalions of soldiers (and a battalion of Western scum will be dismissed sooner or later), but he still has to grasp it firmly!

"Brother Zhang, are you getting better?" Zhu Jishi then paid several rows of Lanfang soldiers, Zuihou's turn was a little man with a plaster on his arm, this kid is called Zhang Zegen, the only Zhejiang person in the Lanfang army, a fisherman in Taizhou, was knocked out and sold to Lanfang as a piglet to open a mine, originally worked in the Liu family's mine, and later ran to the Luo family's mine, and Luo Junqi recruited him when he went to recruit soldiers.

His arm was injured in training, and Zhu Jishi's eight pieces of foreign money are not easy to earn. This salary is several times higher than that of the green battalion soldiers of the Qing Dynasty! Even the income of the miners in the gold mines of West Borneo is much higher, and the latter's nominal salary is six to seven yuan, but after deducting the food fee, it is only four to five yuan. Zhu Jishi is really giving eight yuan here, the food is provided for free, and the food is also good, there are two meals of meat every day, and the rice is full! But it's really ruthless to practice, and the queue training at the beginning was quite easy, and since November, the smoothbore gun has been issued! The two Chinese barracks were devoid of light infantry and artillery, that is, four infantry companies, all brown bes. In addition to high-intensity reload training every day, it is stabbing training!

The chief instructor in charge of training these line infantry, Jérôme. Pierco is known as Napoleon's Old Guard, and the bayonet fights of the Old Guard are famous in Europe! And Old Peel has now brought the secret technique of the old guard training assassination to the Lanfang infantry! This assassination training is not just a few strokes, but also a competition with wooden guns, and whoever loses will be hungry - according to old Peel, this trick was devised by Napoleon, and the French emperor is really black enough!

It's a big matter of eating, who dares not to work hard among the soldiers below? One by one, they are screaming that you fight for me, this will inevitably be ruthless, although there are protective gear, and some people hang the lottery from time to time, this Zhang Zegen was injured during training. But it doesn't matter, Sir Zhu's medical skills are not blown, this kid's injury was treated by Zhu Jishi.

Zhu Jishi carefully inspected Zhang Zegen's arm wrapped in plaster, turned around and explained to Huang Zhisheng and Ren Yijiang who were following: "Write it down, Brother Xiao Zhang will be transferred to work in the secret service, and the two of you will be responsible for taking care of him for the time being." Other than that...... The military hospital was to begin preparations at once, and when I came back, I was reminded to write to Hong Kong and ask Brother Trigo to send me 10 more medical freshmen. ”

"Yes, sir!" Huang Zhisheng and Ren Yijiang are both solemn, they are now in charge of a department called the "Secret Service", in fact, just the two of them, the main job is to help Zhu Jishi do chores, but Zhu Jishi intends to develop this secret service into a special service......

Zhu Jishi pointed his fingers again, "Many of the family members of the officers and soldiers on our team have not come out of their hometowns, so we must record what their families are called and where they are, and when the fleet of the Nanyang Trading Company is built, we must find a way to bring them to Borneo to live and work in peace and contentment." There is land here in Borneo, and in the future, land will be allocated to our soldiers, at least 100 acres per household! This policy should be proclaimed to the whole army now, and it will be implemented when this battle is over. ”

"Yes, sir!" Huang Zhisheng and Ren Yijiang stood up straight, and they both remembered Zhu Jishi's instructions. The two of them said in their hearts, this is going to buy people's hearts? is also to help the family and distribute the land, this is to firmly grasp the military heart of the two battalions of Lan Fangbing.

Zhu Jishi nodded, patted the soldier named Zhang Zegen again, and said warmly: "Little brother, I know you, don't die if you train, it's good!" When the injury is healed, be a personal guard for me, and follow Huang Zhisheng and Ren Yijiang to learn to read and write, and if you are literate, you will be able to do great things in the future. ”

Before Zhang Zegen could cry and thank him, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near, Zhu Jishi followed the prestige, and saw a few fast horses galloping over, and the first to ride was Luo Xiangmei, the eldest lady of the Lanfang Luo family! Not to mention the appearance of this underworld sister riding on a horse, she is really heroic!

"Lord Zhu, something is wrong!" The eldest sister's head jumped off the horse and landed right in front of Zhu Jishi.

"Let's talk about it back at headquarters." Zhu Jishi glanced at the eldest sister for the first time, and knew that it was probably not a good thing, but Luo Da Meiren's face was quite gloomy.

Zhu Jishi's army is a Western-style establishment, using all Western-style titles, and above the three battalions is the Lanfang Army Headquarters. Haiming served as the chief of staff, and Liu Peng and Zhao Daheng were deputies. The headquarters is located in the Xindang Mansion, the so-called Mansion, in fact, is a walled city, standing on the north bank of the Kunjiang River, covering an area of about several thousand acres, surrounded by a circle of wooden fences, there is a trench outside the wooden fence, there are barracks, watchtowers, warehouses and a beautiful Western-style small western-style building built in the wooden gate, and now Zhu Jishi himself lives in this small western-style building, and his headquarters is also set up in it.

"Sister Mei, what's wrong?"

Coming to the headquarters, Zhu Jishi personally poured a cup of herbal tea for Luo Xiangmei, and took off his tweed military uniform, the climate in Borneo is also hot, and the tweed military uniform can be covered with sweat after wearing it for a while.

"Lord Zhu, look at this!" The big beauty took the cup and didn't drink it, just put it on the table, and then took out an envelope from her arms and handed it over.

"This is ......" The mouth of the envelope was not sealed, Zhu Jishi took out the letter paper directly from it and looked at it, and his face suddenly turned blue. What the! Bong Qing to ask for clarity? Bastard! How can you say such a thing! Fucking run away to the South Seas, and I'm going to be a dog for Tartar! ”
