Chapter 1412 Jinwen City (3)

To obtain this position, not only do you have to donate dozens of war horses, but you also have to spend so much money. If you take it to the brigade headquarters, you will definitely be able to move to a good position.However, there are existing forces in other troops, and if you go there by yourself, you will be a newcomer who is excluded.

And here, the 130 city guards of the city guards were recruited and trained by themselves, and they must be commanded like their own arms.With the addition of my own 430 personal guards, I can control [-] armed soldiers, three standard squadrons!It is completely his own private soldier!
Besides, bandits are rampant here, and war horses are really useless. The combat relies on infantry. With these soldiers, I can make more meritorious deeds!
Thinking of this, Mark immediately nodded in agreement.

"Very good, then send the horse and gold coins to the regiment headquarters tomorrow to exchange for a letter of appointment." The second lieutenant colonel didn't stay any longer, and immediately got up and left.

Mark with a smile on his face sent the lieutenant colonel out of the room. When he saw him go to Zhao Hu's residence, his heart skipped a beat: "Damn, this guy won't go to Zhao Hu to recruit war horses and sell staff, right? Doesn't he know that the other party has a special identity? , It is likely to bring disaster to the officers of this regiment? Shouldn't it be so stupid?"

Mark, who wanted to call his subordinates to count the gold coins, decided to wait a while before making a decision. Knowing that it was impossible to eavesdrop, he called An Yong and Zhou Ming in for a discussion.

The second lieutenant colonel was stopped at the door, waiting for the guards to inform Zhao Hu, he was not angry, but took it for granted.With such a state of mind, when he saw Zhao Hu going out to greet him in person, his heart warmed, and he hurriedly said, "Excuse me." He walked into the living room.

"I don't know what you want to do, sir?" After some courteous greetings, Zhao Hu was obviously wondering why the lieutenant colonel came to him.

"Oh, it's embarrassing to say it..." The second lieutenant colonel talked about the difficulties of the regiment with a face of embarrassment. At first, he talked about how the fifth regiment guarded the city with difficulty. At first, I thought he was I'm giving credit, but I can hear half of it, and people with a more flexible mind will know that this guy is here to ask for sponsorship.

Hearing the lieutenant colonel finished speaking, Zhao Hu thought for a while and nodded and said: "Although the subordinate officer has just joined the Fifth Regiment, he is also a member of the Regiment, and he can definitely help. It's just that the subordinate officer has a low position and has little ability. To improve the treatment of the brethren, we can only try our best to let the brethren add more food, and the meal is good, please don't dislike meddlesome officials." He said and winked at Zhou Wen.

"No, no, this is all your intention, we will understand." The lieutenant colonel was busy saying polite words, but his eyes were watching Zhou Wen's departure.

Seeing this weak woman leave, the lieutenant colonel felt uneasy, because this major Zhao Hu didn't say how much he sponsored at all, but if all the brothers had a good meal, why would it cost hundreds of gold coins?Alas, when dealing with such a person of status, it's really troublesome that you can't speak directly.

After a while, Zhou Wen came in. Seeing Zhou Wen empty-handed, the lieutenant colonel's face became a little ugly. Is this Zhao Hu so stingy?Just give a few gold coins?

Of course Zhou Wen knew why the lieutenant colonel's face was so ugly, but pretending not to see it, he directly saluted Zhao Hu and said, "Sir, Cai Jin has been sent to the regiment headquarters."

Zhao Hu just nodded to show that he heard it. Neither of them said how much food money they gave, nor did they ask. It feels like it's up to Zhou Wen to decide how much to give, and he doesn't care at all.

The lieutenant colonel was dumbfounded and sent it directly to the wing headquarters?I don't know how much I sent, so how do I talk about things next?At this moment, the lieutenant colonel was too embarrassed to talk about the expropriation of war horses, so he left after a few polite words.

The second lieutenant colonel, who ran back to the wing headquarters, felt something was wrong before entering the hall, because the hall was completely silent. When he rushed in, he was dumbfounded. A box of golden objects was shining in the middle of the crowd.

After a while, the boss who came to his senses patted the second child on the shoulder and said, "The second child has yours! You actually got [-] gold coins as soon as you got out! It's amazing!"

"Ten thousand pieces!" The second child was dumbfounded again.

"Second brother, how did you get so many gold coins? Zhao Hu must have confused you, right?" The third child jumped beside the second child like a teenager.With these [-] gold coins, the brothers can at least live a relaxed life.

"Uh, I just talked about the difficulties of our alliance, and he said that his ability is limited, and he can only help the brothers add food. I didn't expect there to be so many." The second Xiaoxiao said a little erratically.

"What? No wonder it was said to be Caijin when it was delivered just now! Mommy! Caijin with [-] gold coins! The upper class is really generous!" All the officers couldn't help but click their tongues.

The only old colonel in the hall who maintained a calm expression asked after a sip of tea, "Did you mention anything else to him?"

The second lieutenant colonel, who had regained consciousness a little bit, quickly shook his head and said: "No, the subordinate just complained to Toma, and he said he would send food money. The subordinate didn't know how much he gave, so he rushed back without even having time to mention the horse. Not to mention the appointments."

The old man nodded: "Well, don't mention it, let's send the letter of appointment tomorrow morning."

The officers were obviously taken aback, but they all said yes respectfully.

Of course, Mark saw Zhao Hu's personal guard carrying a box into the regiment headquarters. Although he didn't know what was in the box, he saw the lieutenant colonel running to find Zhao Hu with a happy face early the next day. Just knew something was wrong.

Mark didn't think too much, and directly counted a sum of gold coins, and then led the horses and ran into the wing headquarters.

For this character who has been completely taken advantage of, the officers of the regiment department all entertained him politely, but Mark thought that he was saving face for him, and he deeply felt that his decision was correct. After receiving the letter of appointment, he was immediately excited He took his men out to recruit soldiers.

If Mark knew that he was hemorrhaging, but what he got was not even a fraction of Zhao Hu's, he would definitely vomit blood and howl.

Zhao Hu looked at the appointment letter brought by the second lieutenant colonel in surprise.

Zhao Hu pointed to the letter of appointment suspiciously and said to the second lieutenant colonel: "Sir, the regiment department handed over the city guard, picket team, public security team, and taxation team to the staff major, a subordinate officer? Isn't this a job that only civilian officials can take up? And except for the city guard, the others should be appointed by the county governor, right?"

The second lieutenant colonel said with a smile: "Hehe, these posts belong to the local armed forces. When the local civil servants are not in office, they can be appointed by the chief military officer. This is stipulated in the regulations, so your appointment is not illegal.

"However, Major Mark has been appointed as the city guard's west city team, and neither the city guard nor the tax team have the power to collect taxes, but I believe you don't care about this power. These four teams will be recruited and trained by you And the command, our wing does not interfere. Of course, you are also responsible for the salary, clothing, weapons and equipment."

Before Zhao Hu showed anything, Sun Jie said excitedly: "Sir, do you mean that the command and governance of these four troops are completely managed and appointed by my family? "

"Yes, but if there is an enemy attacking the city, you are obliged to defend the city and attack the enemy with the team, but the specific orders are up to you." The second lieutenant colonel nodded and said.

Zhou Wen asked cautiously: "What are the quotas for these four troops?"

The lieutenant colonel said with a smile: "Originally we didn't limit the number of troops that are self-supporting, but in order to avoid trouble, the combined number should not exceed one regiment. However, the personnel can only come from Jinwen City. Recruitment is considered to help solve the unemployed people in Jinwen City."

Hearing this, Zhao Hu and others were stunned.

The fifth regiment is also too generous, right?Actually allowing the existence of external armed forces equivalent to the number of garrisons?Aren't they afraid that people like themselves will turn against customers?Or do they have something to rely on?

Seeing the puzzled look in the eyes of Zhao Hu and others, the lieutenant colonel smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, we just believe that Major Zhao Hu will not mess around, and with these people, I believe it will be easier for Major Zhao Hu to make meritorious deeds, after all these It is equivalent to a private army, and the meritorious service established belongs to the chief officer."

Zhao Hu thought for a while, considering that he wanted to be more armed, and the other party was so relieved, what else did he have to think about?
As for paying for the support of the troops?Didn't the tens of thousands of troops in Mingyue City also support themselves?This kind of person is completely trivial. Thinking of this, Zhao Hu nodded in agreement.

After the second lieutenant colonel left, Sun Jie did not wait for Zhou Wen to speak, and immediately said: "My lord, my subordinates just found out that Mark exchanged dozens of horses and four thousand gold coins for 300 members of the Xicheng City Guards." .”

"Huh? Why does the regiment need horses?" Zhao Hu asked. When he first arrived, he saw the entire regiment, and there was no cavalry in it. Besides, the geographical environment here is definitely not suitable for cavalry to fight, so Only then did Zhao Hu ask the question.

"According to the inquiring information below, the bandits will suddenly go crazy and rob when they see the horses. It is estimated that the regiment wants to use the horses to attract the bandits to ambush." ​​Sun Jie said.

Zhao Hu nodded thoughtfully.

Zhou Wen said aloud at this time: "It's strange, isn't it that the old man's captain is upright? How can he do such a thing of selling armed establishments? Judging from their appearance, whoever gives the most money will have the most establishments Well, is there any conspiracy?"
