Chapter 1414 Jinwen City (5)

As for whether he will die after serving as a soldier?

For them, who will be killed by fierce beasts, poisonous snakes and bandits at any time, this is not a question worth considering. Before, they didn't know how much they wanted to be soldiers. Unfortunately, the number of places in the Fifth Regiment is limited, so they can't join the army at all, so they can only give up. How can we let go of this good opportunity now?
And they have a very good impression of this Jinwen City guard team, a feeling of family members appeared when they heard the name, so don't think too much, just sign up without saying a word.

The gate of the former county governor's mansion was very lively, densely packed crowd surrounded the place completely.In addition to the farmers who ran back from the fields outside the city, there were also hunters who had just returned from the mountains after hearing the news, and of course there were also men who worked for the wealthy households in the city.

In addition to these strong men with sufficient conditions, there are also a large number of people from the city who either come with their families or watch the excitement, and they immediately make this place full of people and noisy.

Such a scene was a piece of cake for Zhao Hu's personal guards who had recruited soldiers with Zhao Hu in the southeast peninsula. Several guards slammed their whips to scare the crowd into shutting up, and then shouted: "For those who sign up, line up for me and come one by one! Otherwise, the whip will be merciless!"

Frightened by this, the young men who were in a mess immediately obeyed orders obediently.

Seeing the silence, dozens of guards rushed into the crowd and ordered the strong men to line up, while separating the crowd from the strong men.And the guards behind several tables lined up at the gate also picked up pens and ink, laid out paper, and prepared to compile the roster.

Originally, the guards wanted to stop the strong men who were obviously over 25 years old, but when they saw at least five of the ten strong men over 25 years old, they immediately turned a blind eye. People put it in.

Seeing such an easy selection, the people outside couldn't help but move around, but after a few whips, the order stabilized again.

Soon after, Zhao Hu brought people to the recruitment site.

Seeing Zhao Hu's arrival, the guard at the door immediately shouted: "Today's recruitment is temporarily over, please be early tomorrow." After speaking, he ignored the noise of the crowd and closed the door.

Seeing that the gate was closed, the strong men in the school field became a little agitated, and the guards slammed their whips a few times and shouted: "Silence! The officer is here!"

As soon as the strong men heard the term "officer", they immediately shut their mouths and turned their attention to Zhao Hu.

At this time, the guards who had already sorted out the roster came forward and reported: "My lord, the number of strong men who have come to sign up this time has reached 510. Among them, 130 are farmers, 780 are hunters, and 590 are six. , all exceeded, but half of them are over 25 years old. Looking at the situation outside the door, I am afraid that more than [-] people can be recruited."

Zhao Hu was taken aback when he heard the words, and turned to look at Zhou Wen and Sun Jie.

Zhao Hu knew very well that without the signal from these two guys, the personal guard would not advocate changing his order without authorization.

Seeing Zhao Hu turn his head, Zhou Wen claimed credit and said, "My lord, I knew that there were not many young and strong people in Jinwen City. If I didn't tell them to pay attention, even if the whole city was recruited, there might not be one young and strong. What about the number of people in the alliance?"

Sun Jie, who was originally a normal person, was startled immediately when he heard this, and wanted to pull Zhou Wen's sleeve, but seeing Zhao Hu's gaze here, he didn't dare to move, and he secretly groaned in his heart.

Zhao Hu found that Zhou Wen hadn't realized the mistake at all, sighed, turned around and said to the guards: "Check carefully the age of the young men, if they are under or over 25 years old, let them stand aside.

We are all neighbors, and most of them know each other, so seeing that people up to the age of 25 were left in the center of the school field, while those over 25 were driven to the corner, the young men immediately made a noise, they I don't want to lose such a job that includes food, housing and a monthly salary.

"My lord, I shoot Wushuang with a bow. I said that shooting the bird's eye will never shoot the bird's body. I am definitely a candidate for a good archer!" A voice suddenly shouted.

As soon as these words came out, these young men over 25 years old immediately began to promote themselves: "My lord, I am strong. I can cut off the head of a wild boar with one knife. Take me!",

"You want me! I eat less, but I have great strength! I definitely work hard!"

If it weren't for these people not daring to attack the personal guards, Zhao Hu would have been besieged.

Seeing the raging crowd, Zhou Wen's face changed. The chaotic scene in front of him was the trouble he caused.

"Everyone, don't be impatient." As soon as the officer Zhao Hu spoke, he didn't need to be scolded by his own guards, and the chaotic young men fell silent.

Zhao Hu said: "Although the notice has made it clear that only young men between the ages of 25 and [-] will be recruited, we cannot ignore your enthusiasm for joining the army.

"How about this? All strong men over the age of 25 will be incorporated into the auxiliary army. Except that the salary is half that of the guard, other treatment is the same. If the auxiliary soldier performs well, he can be promoted to join the guard. If you don't want to, then you can leave gone."

Auxiliary soldiers?None of the people present had heard of this kind of arms. Some of the quick-witted men, especially those who were born as men, saw that the people around them were puzzled, and they couldn't help but shouted in a bragging manner: "I don't understand? The salary of auxiliary soldiers is only for guards." Half of the team, that is to say, the auxiliary soldiers are short-term workers, and the guard team is long-term workers!"

The strong men immediately understood that although they were only part-time workers, they also received the salary of the army, so they were considered to have joined the army.

Thinking that I am also a soldier, I immediately don't care whether I am an auxiliary soldier or not.Anyway, that adult said, as long as they behave well, the auxiliary soldiers can still become the guards.

Just relying on those young boys, how can they be opponents of grown-ups like themselves?Just a little performance can snatch their positions and let them serve as auxiliary soldiers.None of the strong men who had made up their minds expressed their desire to leave.

Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment. His original intention was to let them serve as logistics servants. After all, he had recruited them no matter what.

The name of the auxiliary soldiers was also temporarily decided on the idea of ​​using them to assist the main force. After all, in addition to training, the regular troops also had to cooperate with the logistics soldiers to do some work such as building barracks and cleaning the camp. Going out may allow the regular troops to concentrate on fighting.

As for why they are not called logistics soldiers, it is because logistics soldiers are in the regular establishment.It's just that Zhao Hu didn't expect that these strong men would actually use the part-time and long-term workers to explain it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, yes, why not set up special auxiliary soldiers to help the combat troops work?Although the logistics troops are sufficient to be responsible for the provision of the establishment, other trivial matters still require the cooperation of the combat troops, such as setting up camps and cleaning the battlefield, which will make all the troops busy.

If there is a group of auxiliary soldiers with the same number as the combat troops, the formation of camps and the cleaning of the battlefield can be handed over to the auxiliary soldiers, and the combat troops can concentrate on vigilance. fought back.

Moreover, with the help of these auxiliary soldiers, the combat troops can also reduce their burden. The trophies and wounded can be handed over to the auxiliary soldiers to take care of them. They can also let the auxiliary soldiers keep watch so that the combat troops can rest at ease. In this way, the combat effectiveness will at least increase several times. Woolen cloth.

Seeing Zhao Hu suddenly stunned, Sun Jie pulled Zhao Hu's sleeve and carefully reminded: "My lord, everyone is waiting for your lecture."

After waking up, Zhao Hu glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Now, everyone, follow my guard's order and form up." With a wave of his hand, the guards immediately shouted according to the roster. This job is very familiar to the guards. It's just that the decimal system in the southeast peninsula is replaced by the five-to-five system on the empire's side.

In a short time, more than 500 strong men aged up to 25 were divided into twelve squadrons, and the twelve personal guards automatically became squadron leaders.

According to the usual practice, these squadrons still have a logistics team directly under the leadership of the squadron leader.The remaining nearly 25 strong men over the age of [-] were divided into [-] centurions, and the [-] guards automatically became centurions.

Then these squadron leaders and centurions took their subordinates to occupy a part of the school grounds, and began to select the internal corporal leader and small captain. A small team of five corporals fights hand to hand, and the winner is the small team leader.

When they first heard the order from the chief of the personal guard, all the strong men were taken aback. Isn't it enough for an official position in the army to be appointed by the superior?Why do you want these people to fight for themselves?We are all neighbors or even relatives, how can we do it.

However, the words of the personal guard officer: "In addition to the basic salary, there is also a job salary, and anyway, that is an officer." The words of the guard officer immediately discredited the strong men and their relatives.

As for the auxiliary soldiers, it is relatively simple, you only need to choose the ten commanders, but due to the large number of competitors, most of the winners are bruised and swollen.

After some hard work, the corporal leaders and the squad leaders were quickly selected. After these corporal leaders and squad leaders joined, they immediately followed the example of the squadron leader and began to reprimand his subordinates. Kind of like an army.

Looking at the troops, Zhao Hu couldn't help but nodded and smiled and said, "Very good, then I will pay your salaries now." The guard who was carrying the box behind him immediately opened the box, and the yellow color immediately turned everyone's faces yellow.

The strong man who couldn't help but cheer when he heard the salary was paid was immediately whipped by the guard's superior with a horsewhip.
