"The magistrate has an order, because of the rampant Japanese bandits, they may land in Taiwan at any time. All Taiwanese soldiers and civilians have the responsibility of defending the land and protecting the country, so Wang Guorui, the magistrate of Hsinchu County, specially recruited Taiwan's anti-Japanese volunteers, and hopes that Taiwan's military and civilians will actively participate. ”

The streets of Hsinchu County were full of news about Wang Guorui's announcement of the formation of Taiwan's anti-Japanese volunteers, and this news immediately made many people know. After all, Taiwan's safety is related to the safety of everyone's lives and property, so everyone has heard the news and inquired about it.

"Anyone who joins our Taiwan Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army can receive a military salary of four silver dollars per month."

This news completely detonated Hsinchu County. Because four silver dollars a month, that's almost equal to more than three taels of silver. In this era, more than three taels of silver per month is a really high military salary. Although the military salary of more than three taels is nothing compared to the later Beiyang New Army. But for the current era, it is a huge attraction. Because of the ordinary green battalion soldiers, each of them has less than three taels, and if the officers at all levels drink the blood of the soldiers, it is already good to have more than one or two in hand. Therefore, if you can really get the military salary, it is definitely a very good income. Therefore, many people are completely tempted.

Now that Taiwan is in danger, the status of military personnel has been greatly improved, and many Taiwan officials have begun to attach importance to military affairs. In the past, everyone discriminated against the army, but now those civilian officials not only do not discriminate against the army, but instead pay enough military salaries, because they still want the army to work for their lives. In this way, a situation has been formed in a short period of time, that is, the status of soldiers has increased for a short time, so everyone has heard about the formation of a volunteer army, and the military salary is still so high, then many people have started something.

"You won't deduct this military salary for more than three taels, but there is not much left, right?" Someone asked.

At this time, Wang Guorui took the initiative to come out and shouted: "Folks, now that the Japanese may invade Taiwan at any time, we Taiwanese officials and people have the responsibility of defending the land and protecting the country." If at this time, whoever dares to withhold military salaries and drink the blood of soldiers will definitely be killed. I am here to assure you that if anyone is deducted from their salaries, and if there is any situation of drinking the blood of soldiers, I will definitely kill them! ”

Hearing Wang Guorui's promise, many people were really moved, and some people began to sign up. In a short period of time, more than 1,000 people signed up. And Wang Guorui's first batch of soldiers this time only plans to recruit about 300 people. And these 300 people are also to be assigned to the guard platoon, and the soldiers of the guard platoon will serve as the squad leader and be responsible for training these soldiers.

Soon, the three hundred places were also filled, and the people Wang Guorui ordered were also selected those who had no bad habits and were also physically stronger, these people would be the first batch of soldiers, and then enter the army to become the foundation.

After the first batch of 300 soldiers was selected, Wang Guorui also immediately asked people to take them to a remote place, which was next to that base. However, because Wang Guorui built a city wall in this base, the main base mine barracks and power plant are surrounded by walls, and the only gap is guarded by a squad of clone soldiers to ensure that the secrets in it will not be exposed. These soldiers will be trained here until they become full-fledged soldiers in two months.

"Soldiers, you may have come from different backgrounds before joining the Volunteers, some of you may be ordinary farmers, some of you may be street vendors, and some of you are servants of others. However, today I would like to tell you that you will become soldiers of our volunteers. Our volunteers, built to protect our people, are a glorious army. and not the armies that oppress the good, and ride on the heads of the people to make a fortune. I reiterate here that the military law of our volunteer army is strict, and if anyone dares to violate military law, then don't blame military law for being ruthless. When the time comes, I will know you, but military law will not know you! Do you understand? ”

"Got it!" "Got it! I see! ”

The first one was clear, it was the clone army who shouted, and the second one was divided into two parts, and it was the recruits who shouted.

"Didn't you eat? I didn't hear it! Wang Guorui shouted.

"Got it!"

This time he shouted very neatly and very loudly, so Wang Guorui was satisfied.

"In the future, you will be an army under the leadership of my Wang Guorui, and if there is a bite of food for my Wang Guorui, you will not be hungry! You just have to kill the enemy for me, so that I can repay me for spending so much military pay to support you! ”

Wang Guorui said this, in fact, there is a reason. Because in this era, the army is also who pays them, and they are also working for whom. This is also a characteristic of ancient times, and Wang Guorui cannot change this situation in a short period of time. And Wang Guorui can do it, that is, to sue the soldiers, it is Wang Guorui who pays to support them, and it is Wang Guorui who spends money to let them fight, so they must be loyal to Wang Guorui. As for what country, nation, they don't know so much for the time being. Although it is necessary to have corresponding education in the future, it is not possible to carry out education in this era, after all, it is less than 180 days before the Japanese attack, and in this case, there is not so much time to cultivate so much national spirit for them from scratch. As for the national spirit, we will wait until the Japanese invaders have been driven out.

Wang Guorui then glanced at the leader of the clone soldiers, and the clone soldier immediately understood. This soldier is a three-star soldier who is qualified for the position of company commander. But in this era, Wang Guorui's opportunity made him the leader of more than 300 soldiers, and there was no way to do this. Now Wang Ruiyan zhòng lacks officers, and there are not enough officers to lead the troops, so this can only be paid attention to. Wang Guorui also hopes that some officers can be trained among these soldiers in the future, so that they can lead their troops to fight. After all, the innate intelligence of clones is too weak, so they can't be cultivated as high-ranking officers.

"Swear to obey Wang Guorui's command!" The clone officer shouted.

"Swear to obey Wang Guorui's command!" Thirty-three clone soldiers shouted along.

And after hearing this, the more than 300 recruits also understood, and shouted together: "Swear to obey Wang Guorui's command!" ”

Now Wang Guorui didn't directly start the rebellion after all, so of course Wang Guorui couldn't let these soldiers shout that they were loyal to him. Therefore, Wang Guorui also positioned the "style" relatively low, that is, let them obey their own commands, rather than let them be completely loyal to themselves. Unless Wang Guorui occupies Taiwan one day and becomes a warlord, he will be able to make these soldiers shout loyalty to him. At present, the people of Taiwan still yearn for the Manchu Qing Dynasty in their hearts, and if there is a rebellion at this time, not only will the people not support it, but Taiwan will also fall into civil strife. In this way, it can only be the bitterness of those who are close to each other, and the enemy will be happy, and when the time comes, what will be lost in Taiwan's civil strife will be the national defense strength of its own country.

"Now, the gun ceremony!" Wang Guorui said.

All the military attaches great importance to the gun ceremony. The gun awarding ceremony represents a soldier's formal becoming a soldier, and it also represents the trust of your superiors in you, and it also represents that you accept the gun, that is, you accept a duty to protect your home and defend the country. Therefore, the gun awarding ceremony is a very important ceremony, which can greatly enhance the sense of responsibility of the soldiers, so Wang Guorui also attaches great importance to this.

"Soldiers, are you ready to accept the duty of defending your home and country?" Wang Guorui asked according to the process.

"Ready!" The clone soldier said.

Now the clone soldiers and ordinary soldiers are mixed, so the average person can't see it. In the future, these clones will also join Wang Guorui's army as ordinary people, and ordinary outsiders will not be able to see it. Anyway, at this time, the household registration situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not very clear about how many people are in his hands. Therefore, it is completely possible to take advantage of the loophole of this household registration, and then it can be a mixed situation. With these clones in the army, it is completely guaranteed that the army will not get out of their control.

"Soldiers, are you ready to accept the duty of defending your home and country?" Wang Guorui asked the second soldier again.

This soldier was not a clone, but when he saw the first soldier shout, he shouted, "Ready!" ”

And Wang Guorui patted him on the shoulder, representing the importance of him. And this soldier's heart was also full of enthusiasm, because Wang Guorui, the magistrate, valued him so much, which made him feel very excited.

Next, follow the process and go on like this. And because the number of troops is small now, Wang Guorui also issued rifles to these soldiers one by one, and then personally asked them if they were ready. Because if these soldiers can not die, then they will be important people under their own command in the future. After all, the first batch of soldiers, if the soldiers in it do not die, can also produce a group of generals.

"Today, my Volunteers have finally been formed, and they will become my important assistants in conquering the world!" Wang Guorui thought in his heart.

Later, this day, January 20, 1895, was also called Army Day by later generations, because the Chinese National Defense Force, which was later powerful in the world, was officially established today. And this army has become a nightmare for countless foreigners, who have recovered a lot of blood debts for China.
