Wei Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are the deputy general of the Datong Mansion garrison, you should be the commander of the soldiers, you are the commander." However, if I find out that you are incapable in the future, then my Wei Zheng will go to the court and take your lieutenant's hat. ”

"General Zhou Shuyuan Zhou is the Xuanfu envoy of Datong Mansion appointed by the imperial court, and he should serve in the garrison of Datong Mansion to supervise military and food salaries. Therefore, I decided to let General Zhou remove two hundred deputy platoon commanders, platoon commanders, and deputy captains from the Tiger and Par Army...... Entered the garrison of Datong Prefecture, served as the general commander, the thousand general, trained the soldiers, and did his best to make the soldiers form combat effectiveness. ”

"As for the recruitment and expansion of the garrison of Datong Prefecture, let General Zhou be responsible, he has experience and knows how to screen out the most suitable young men to be soldiers from the homeless people."

"In addition, General Zhou is also a half-civilian official...... He recruited troops, and he could also cooperate well with Wang Peng and Wang Tongzhi to collect and settle the displaced people in Datong Mansion and prevent them from causing trouble in Datong Mansion. ”

Less than ten miles away from Datong City, a few white wanderers were lying on the ground in groups like beggars. And at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly reached everyone's ears, and then, two ironclad cavalrymen wearing iron armor were almost difficult to see in Datong Mansion. It was like a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, suddenly stopping around them.

Out of curiosity, hundreds of homeless people almost subconsciously raised their heads and shifted their gaze to the two cavalrymen.

Under the gaze of several white pairs full of indifference and helplessness, the cavalry quickly took out a notice from his backpack. Then, he shouted loudly in his voice: "Listen to it...... The latest order of the General Military Office has decided to recruit 8,000 soldiers from among you homeless people. ”

"When you are a soldier, you eat food and get your salary...... As long as everyone is favored by the chief soldier. It became the garrison of Datong Province. Then you don't have to go hungry again. There are enough white flour steamed buns every day. And that's not all. Your family doesn't have to go hungry. Because, your military salary of a few taels of silver every month is enough for your family to feed their families......"

"I remember clearly, I don't want to continue to starve, to be a homeless. Give me to be a soldier in Datong City......"

"When one person is a soldier, the whole family has something to eat...... This is a notice from the General Military Office to everyone......"

After speaking, the two cavalrymen were under the gaze of everyone full of suspicion and puzzlement. Drop the notice, beat the horse away, and run to the next gathering point.

Looking at the cavalry in front of them, several homeless people who reacted quickly rushed to the notice dropped by the cavalry.

After looking at the dense text on the notice, he shouted loudly: "Wang Xiucai, come over and read it to everyone, what is written on this notice...... Is what the two military masters said just now true......"

"Wang Xiucai, come here...... If the soldier really has white flour steamed buns to eat, I will go to the army. Sooner or later, it's a death anyway, rather than starving here. It's better to have a full meal after becoming a soldier. Die on the battlefield. In this case, it is death, and we can also be a full ghost...... Good reincarnation in the future......"

Under the gaze of a pair of eager and expectant eyes, Wang Xiucai, who was also very thin because of hunger, hurriedly took the notice handed by everyone......

When he finished reading the notice under everyone's gaze, his eyes, which were still helpless and full of despair for the future, suddenly shot out two fine lights.

Because, in the notice, there was not only news of recruitment, but also news of hiring scholars.

Datong Mansion is different from Guanzai, in Zunhua, because of the perennial fighting, there are almost no scholars. And this, in the Haw Par Army, which has thousands of people, there are almost no people who can read.

And Wei Zheng, who came from later generations, knew that if he wanted to have the capital to gain a foothold in this troubled era, an army with strong combat effectiveness was an indispensable aspect. Have a group of people who follow themselves, help themselves, and support themselves...... The management of local civil servants is also an indispensable condition.

Therefore, after entering Datong Mansion, Wei Zheng's big dream was to have a group of scholars join him and form a civilian team that was completely loyal to him.

And this recruitment in front of him is an opportunity that Wei Zheng can take advantage of.

Among the tens of thousands of displaced people, even if there is one literate scholar among the hundreds, he can summon hundreds of scholars.

More importantly, the reason why these scholars among the displaced people will be reduced to exiles must be from poor backgrounds and are not reused by the imperial court. Such a group of scholars who do not have much sense of belonging to the imperial court, Wei Zheng is confident that as long as they use their own methods properly and give them a stage for development, they will definitely choose to be loyal to themselves and use them for my use.

Therefore, in the recruitment notice in front of him, in addition to recruitment, there is also the news of the General Military Office recruiting readers.

Seeing that Wang Xiucai looked at the notice and didn't speak, everyone thought that the news of the General Military Mansion's recruitment was fake. Directly to Wang Xiucai, he said with a disappointed face: "I knew that pie would not fall from the sky." We, the homeless, are going to be soldiers, and the court doesn't want to ......."

Seeing the disappointed expressions on everyone's faces, Wang Xiucai's eyes that had begun to shine finally left the notice.

said excitedly to everyone: "What nonsense are you talking about, the news of the recruitment is true...... The notice of the Chief Soldier clearly states that the General Military Office will recruit 8,000 soldiers from among us displaced people. ”

"Not only that, but the General Military Office also has to recruit scholars from among us displaced people......"

"Really...... Holy shit, we finally have hope and don't have to starve to death......"

"Son, we don't have to starve, when you become a soldier and get your salary, I will buy you white flour steamed buns to eat......"

As soon as Wang Xiu finished speaking, all kinds of excited voices began to sound among the displaced people......

Seeing this, Wang Xiucai hurriedly reminded: "Everyone listen, don't be careless...... The General Military Office recruits soldiers this time, but it is not as casual as usual, all those who sign up need to go through the assessment, and after the assessment, they can become soldiers and get military salaries......"

"Therefore, everyone must prepare well, strive to pass the guò assessment, eat food as a soldier, and no longer go hungry."

Seeing that the excited expressions on some people's faces were quickly covered with worry, Wang Xiucai hurriedly comforted: "However, you don't have to worry too much...... The notice said that even if we didn't pass the assessment and didn't become a soldier, the chief soldier would not ignore us. ”

"The notice of the General Soldier clearly stated that the General Military Office decided to carry out tuntian in the territory of Datong Prefecture, and a large number of displaced people were needed to join. When the time comes, everyone will become Tuntian soldiers, and the chief soldier will not let everyone go hungry...... More importantly, there is no requirement for this Tuntian soldier, as long as everyone can hold a hoe, they can join the Tuntian army. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xiucai fell to the ground very unexpectedly in the direction of Datong Mansion.

Then, he shouted loudly to the inexplicable homeless people behind him: "Folks, we have a good general soldier from Datong Mansion!" If it weren't for the chief soldier, we would really starve to death in Datong Mansion...... Quick, everyone kowtow to me, thank you for the ......"

"After kowtowing, let's go to Datong City to eat white flour steamed buns and serve the chief soldier......"

The same thing is happening not only here.

As the cavalry of the White Tiger and Leopard Army left the same city from different directions, the several white homeless people scattered in Datong Mansion rushed to Datong City like wolves smelling blood.

In the midst of the dense crowd of displaced people outside Datong City, 300 recruits of the Haw Par Army wearing leather armor and holding spears were patrolling among the displaced people with pride on their faces, one by one, to maintain order.

As soon as a number of white wanderers led by Wang Xiucai appeared at the end of the official road, a group of recruits from the Tiger and Leopard Army greeted them in full armor......

Seeing the recruit holding it in his hand, the ten-barreled spear with the head of the gun emitting a cold light from the forest, out of fear of the government and the army. These homeless people subconsciously stopped, and then, with a face full of trepidation, gathered together, looking at the tiger and leopard army with an uneasy expression.

At this time, Wang Xiucai, who had seen a certain amount of the world, stood up unyieldingly.

Although my heart is full of worries and uneasiness like everyone else. However, there was still a smile on his face and he said to the captain who took the lead.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... We are all homeless people who plan to come to Datong to serve as soldiers and eat food after seeing the notice posted by the chief soldier...... I don't know why the military masters are blocking our way, could it be that the soldiers of the chief soldier are full......"

The leader replied proudly: "Of course I know that you are here to be soldiers. ”

"We stopped you, not to prevent you from being soldiers, but to take you to a designated place to live temporarily. There are so many homeless people outside Datong City, if there are no rules, it won't be all messed up......"

"Sue you, this is all the order of our general, that is, the chief soldier......"

"People who want to be soldiers to eat food, to be soldiers, and who don't want to go hungry, come with us......"

A few simple tents made of rags were the residences of hundreds of displaced people headed by Wang Xiucai for the next ten days.

As soon as Shubai Liumin was brought to the station, a scholar with a talented appearance appeared in front of everyone with a large number of wooden signs.

You must know that in the Haw Par Army, a limited number of Xiucai not only help Wei Zheng manage logistics, but also teach everyone to read and write every day. Therefore, in the Haw Par Army, Xiucai is a very respectable person in the hearts of the soldiers.

Wu Chang, who was still strict with everyone just now, hurriedly greeted him with a smile after seeing Xiucai.

After exchanging a few words with Xiucai, he said to Shubai Liumin: "Everyone listen, this is the head of our Tiger and Leopard Army. Next, Director Zhang will distribute the wooden cards representing the identity to everyone. Everyone must put this wooden sign away, and in the next time, whether you are a soldier, a soldier, or even a meal, you can't do without this wooden card......"

"Everyone come at once, line up in order, and give your names and ages. If there are people who have read books, you can come to register first and help Director Zhang to hand out wooden cards to everyone. In this way, everyone can get the wooden card early, eat and go to ......" (to be continued......
