Chapter 557: Forming a Mercenary Army

Han Xing turned around and announced: "Listen, the new Hangzhou Wei adopts a recruitment system, and the recruited soldiers can get two taels of silver directly every month, and there are additional vegetables during ......the New Year's holidays."

After Han Xing finished talking about the treatment of recruiting soldiers, many people were moved, and they raised their hands and shouted: "Commander, I don't know what the requirements for recruiting soldiers are?" ”

Han Xing said: "What are the requirements?" It's very simple, first of all, you must be innocent, hard-working, and secondly, you must be healthy, strong enough, and bloody, and even the soldiers who don't dare to kill chickens should go home and hug their girls! ”

Everyone laughed, and Han Xing shouted: "If you feel qualified, you can go out to the martial arts training ground and wait, this commander will pick his own soldiers one by one, and no one wants to get by!" ”

Someone asked loudly: "My lord, can those who apply to join the army also get the ten taels of silver severance pay?" ”

Duan Fei replied: "The severance pay is issued by the dissolution of the Hangzhou Wei Institute, whether you apply to join the army or not, you can get it, if you can pass the selection of the Han commander, you can also immediately get a settling-in allowance of five taels of silver, if you feel that you are in line with the conditions, hurry up and queue up, the number of people is limited." ”

After those soldiers heard Duan Fei's words, they immediately ran more than half of the hula, and they all ran towards the martial arts arena, Duan Fei shook his head and said: "The others take their own things, go to the gate of the camp to receive severance pay and a certificate of dismissal, and then they can go back to their hometowns, by the way, all the tuntian fields of the original Hangzhou Wei have been recovered, and the soldiers of the new Hangzhou Wei do not farm, and plan to rent them to others, if you want to contract the fields, you can come to the gate of the camp at this time tomorrow to sign up, and you can give priority to renting to you." ”

Hearing Duan Fei's words, the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers who stayed in place also dispersed, and there was still one night to think about whether to leave or stay, Han Xing confessed to Duan Fei, and took a few pro-soldiers he brought out with his own hands, and walked towards the martial arts arena, and the unemployed low-level officers who were still lying on the ground glanced at each other, got up in despair, supported each other, and went back to get things, their only choice was to leave.

Duan Fei took advantage of Han Xing's lack of pick-up to pick a good person, and first inspected the camp, the equipment in the camp was in disrepair, and the theft and damage of the items stored in the warehouse were quite serious, and the things on the accounts were completely incorrect.

Seeing this scene, Duan Fei was completely speechless, even the weapon was so rusty that he couldn't pull out the sheath, once a big war broke out, how could the Ming army defend the country? If the Ming army is not thoroughly reformed, it is really hopeless!

In fact, at the beginning, Duan Fei didn't plan to make a big move against the military, he just wrote an excerpt to ask for credit for Jinyi Wei after annihilating the main force of the sect, talking about the Hangzhou government's intention to learn from Suzhou to carry out reforms, and at the same time slightly mentioned the incompetence of the Jiangnan guards.

They described in detail the viciousness of the Japanese and the incompetence of the Jiangnan guards on the Jinluan Palace, and the sect set up with a hundred people to defeat two thousand people, killing Liu Jin, the commander of the guards, and Zhang Pinch, the commander of the thousand households, and taking away the Guanhaiwei commander Yuan Ban and Liu Si, killing the hundred Hu Yuan, sacked Ningbo twice before and after, and no one could stop the raid on thousands of miles in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhengde is really angry.

Suzhou Wei is in charge of Guan Junhui, so he still has some combat effectiveness, Duan Fei plans to start with Hangzhou Wei, who is completely rotten, and as for Suzhou Wei, sooner or later he will have to do it.

Han Xing, who was guarding the ship that night, was ordered to exchange Hainingwei's five hundred soldiers for the soldiers he brought himself, but he didn't even cut off a single hair of the widow, and the boat was snatched away, although Han Xing was ready to retreat, but he was also angry enough, after collecting the defeated soldiers, he almost killed several hundred households on the spot to vent his anger, in order to calm his anger, and in order to better use this tiger general, Duan Fei handed over Hangzhou Wei to him, and his expectations were quite large.

However, the tiger general quickly ran to complain in frustration: "My lord, there are really not a few qualified officials among those soldiers, what should I do now?" ”

Duan Fei said: "It's normal if you can't pick a few, if you can't pick enough people, you will post an announcement, write down the required conditions and treatment, and someone will apply." ”

Han Xing smiled bitterly: "My lord, these are the Jiangnan people...... The lower officials were worried that they would not be able to pick out a few bloody ones, so they should send people to their hometown Jiangxi to recruit troops to ensure that all the soldiers recruited were good. ”

Duan Fei remembered that he solved the dispute between the two villages in Jiangxi, and the people of Jiangxi were really tough, but would the soldiers recruited from Jiangxi work hard for the people of Jiangnan? In these years, there was no train, and the homesickness of the soldiers who were too far away from home was too strong, which affected morale, Duan Fei thought about it and said: "You try it locally first, if it really doesn't work, go to Yiwu to post a recruitment notice, the soldiers recruited by Yiwu should not be bad." ”

"Yiwu? Where is Yiwu? Han Xing asked blankly.

Duan Fei said: "Yiwu County in Jinhua Mansion is about two hundred miles south of Hangzhou, and you can run fast for more than two hours. ”

Han Xing said: "Have you been there?" Or do you know who in Yiwu? How do adults know that Yiwu's soldiers are good? ”

Duan Fei glared at him and said, "Long-winded, the official just said it's okay, don't ask anymore." ”

Han Xing didn't dare to ask again, but Duan Fei said in his heart: "If the Yiwu soldiers can't work, the world-famous Qi family army will not exist, and the famous general Qi Jiguang only uses Yiwu soldiers, and anyone who knows a little history knows it......"

Duan Fei stayed in Hangzhou for a few more days for the sake of Zhengde's holy decree, he helped Shao Shijie solve some reform problems, and stared at Han Xing to form a new Hangzhou Wei, Zhengde tasted the sweetness from Suzhou, Duan Fei only mentioned a little in the fold that Hangzhou also wanted to try to reform, he immediately agreed, and ordered Duan Fei not to ask in the future, as long as the local government is interested, he can help him carry out reforms, and he can act cheaply when necessary, so Duan Fei has a lot of thoughts, it seems that he can't return to Beijing before the Chinese New Year.

Han Xing really couldn't recruit suitable soldiers in Hangzhou, but some people from other places chose to join after seeing the favorable conditions, and then Han Xing went to Yiwu, and recruited enough people he wanted, and when he returned to Hangzhou Duan Fei came to inspect, he happily reported to Duan Fei that the people recruited by Yiwu were so good, but Duan Fei put on a look of knowing this, and personally inspected the people recalled by Han Xing, they had only been trained for less than two days, and the queue had not yet been neatly arranged, but their spirit was very full. All of them are murderous, which is what Han Xing said is bloody, and it is really good, Yiwu soldiers......

Duan Fei asked Han Xing's training method and made some suggestions, he personally trained five thousand Taurus Wei, and he was already quite experienced, Han Xing wrote it down seriously, he coveted the firearms owned by Jin Yiwei, but Duan Fei did not promise to give it to him immediately, on the one hand, the court has strict control over firearms, on the other hand, it takes a lot of money to make firearms, and the weapons of five thousand Taurus Wei are all spelled out by Duan Fei gritting his teeth, Han Xing wants to equip firearms? Okay, when Jinyiwei is replaced with new equipment, the old equipment can be considered for Hangzhou Wei first......
