Chapter 1416 Jinwen City (7)

The answer given by the regiment headquarters stunned Zhao Hu and others. There were no weapons, and the guards were not regular troops. It is illegal to purchase additional weapons in the name of the guard.

uniform?The reason is the same as above, and when Zhao Hu was asked to solve it by himself, he specifically pointed out that it should not be the same as the military uniform.As for other things, it's the same. Anyway, it's just a sentence. The wing department only provides the staffing, and the rest is solved by itself.

Zhao Hu was still in a daze, but Zhou Wen had already found a solution. He could not buy it himself, but private individuals could. You must know that the laws of the empire did not prohibit private individuals from owning weapons. Let those strong men go to the blacksmith shop to forge a weapon of the same type. Even if you carry your own weapons and join the army.

clothing?This is simpler, just find a clothing store to make him thousands of wear-resistant clothes of the same style and color.Other things can only be purchased on the street.

When Zhao Hu went to the restaurant to socialize, the craftsmen who had been hired with high salaries had already turned on the lights and rushed to work overnight.In fact, their work is not much, just paint the walls, level the floor, install a few doors and windows, and add a few wooden beds.

The work is so simple, thanks to the fact that there are many barracks where the servants of the county governor's mansion live, and each room is very spacious, but the doors and windows are broken and the walls are hairy. Adding a few wooden beds can meet the living requirements of 5000 people.Of course, this would make the room much narrower.

The next day, when it was just dawn, the strong men who hurried over for fear of being late, immediately found that the dilapidated county sheriff's mansion had taken on a completely new look.Seeing this, the strong men feel very comfortable, and their camp should also be here, right?
Entering the school grounds, 32 guard officers had been waiting for a long time. After a loud roar, the strong men lined up according to yesterday's queue, waiting for the officers' roll call.But as soon as the queue was lined up, the weirdness came immediately, and there were more than 100 strong men who were anxiously circling outside the queue.

The angry officers rushed over angrily, but before they roared, these strong men immediately revealed their identities.Seeing such a young man actively joining the army, the officers were obviously taken aback, but since they are here, can they be released?Absorbed in situ, of course.

For three days in a row, the former county governor's mansion was full of people. According to statistics afterwards, most of the adult men in Jinwen City and its vicinity joined the Jinwen City guards.

Of course, Mark's West Gate City Guard is also full. Mark is not an idiot, and the salary for the soldiers is the same as Zhao Hu's. This way, you don't need to increase the salary to attract people's attention, and you can save money. Why not do it?

Compared with Mark's 5000 soldiers, Zhao Hu's side is more terrifying, with nearly [-] soldiers!

In other words, Zhao Hu recruited one-tenth of the population of Jinwen City this time, and at the same time, he also recruited 30% of the most robust males in Jinwen City up to the age of 5000.Zhao Hu divided the [-] people into three brigades and three thousand-man teams. Of course, he sent six personal guards as chief officers.

Now that the entire army is in Zhao Hu's hands, he doesn't bother to send the chief of staff and logistics chief of the brigade.

The loss of more than [-] middle-aged men is a huge blow to Jinwen City, which has only [-] people.

First of all, the hunting hunters are almost extinct, the prices of meat and furs have skyrocketed, almost no one patronizes the restaurants, and the number of shop assistants has decreased by half, and the output has plummeted. It is the lack of materials and high prices in Jinwen City.

The only good thing is that the farmland remains stable. After all, people between the ages of 40 and 60 can still farm. Of course, those who feel better are the men who do part-time work. Due to the shortage of manpower, they can now pick and choose jobs.

It's just that the wealthy households in Jinwen City have a lot of opinions on Zhao Hu. Not to mention that most of the workers in their workshops have lost most of their staff, and most of the staff who serve them have also lost most of them. Hard work can only be done by inviting people from outside.

In the regiment headquarters, where the threshold was leveled by the rich, the old colonel and the officers were all frowning.

The boss, the lieutenant colonel, slapped the table: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that Zhao Hu recruited so many soldiers at once. What did you do, the second? Didn't you tell him not to exceed the number of soldiers in the alliance? What? There are almost two regiments of soldiers now?"

The second lieutenant colonel said aggrievedly: "I asked on purpose, but do you know what he said? He said that there were only 2000 people in the guard, and the other 3000 were auxiliary soldiers, that is, day laborers hired to work for the guard! Not counting the number of guards!"

The boss widened his eyes and shouted: "What! Auxiliary soldiers? Day laborers who help the guards? Since they are day laborers, why are they paid to buy weapons? Why do they wear the same clothes and have a monthly salary? And most importantly, Why do you need to conduct queue fighting training? Isn't this deception or something!"

The second child fell silent.

The third child sighed: "Boss, what's the use of being angry now, that guy's background makes him not have to think about the rules at all, he can do whatever he wants, it's our fault that we gave him such a big staff back then."

"I don't care how many troops he leads! What I care about is how the various industries will continue to operate now that Jinwen City has lost so many strong men! Didn't you see that the rich came to our place to complain?" The boss waved his hand shouted.

"Why are you excited?" The old man drinking tea raised his head and glanced at the boss.

The boss shrank immediately, and murmured: "Sir, we can support us for so long, in addition to the punctual military pay from above, we also depend on donations from these rich households. Moreover, the instability of Jinwen City also affects our crusade plan. "

"Did your anger make you stupid?" The old man said slowly, "The difficulty that Jinwen City is facing now is the lack of supplies and the lack of strong men, right?"

"Yes, in fact, the most important thing is that there are few strong men. As long as there are people, the supplies will not be too poor." The old man nodded hurriedly.

"Since Zhao Hu is the chief officer of the Jinwen City Guard, he is responsible for solving the difficulties in Jinwen City. If there is a shortage of supplies, let him be a bodyguard to protect the merchants who go to the provincial capital to buy. If there is a shortage of strong men, let him arrest Shan Bandit came to be a slave." The old man said lightly.

The officers present were not surprised by the old man's proposal to capture bandits as slaves. What they cared about was another matter: "Sir, Zhao Hu's army has only been formed for three days. Does he have the ability to capture bandits? And Zhao Hu has a strong background, so I'm afraid he won't obey orders."

"It doesn't matter, just issue a formal order and ask him if he is an officer of the Fifth Regiment, and if he still obeys the orders of the Fifth Regiment." The old man continued to drink tea with his eyes squinted after he finished speaking.

The boss's eyes lit up and he asked, "Yes! But what about Mark?"

The old man was silent.

The third child immediately said: "Order him to investigate the situation in Shanmu Village."

Everyone was stunned: "Will these hundreds of people run to Shanmu Village to startle the snake?"

The third child said affirmatively: "We just want to scare the snakes. The hundreds of people are wandering around there, and the bandits with thousands of people are vigilant at first, but they will relax after a few days. After getting used to it, Mark and the others left. The bandits also relaxed, which is just right for us to lurk close.

"And the traces of these hundreds of people can cover us. Even if the bandits find our traces, they will misunderstand it as Mark's gang."

"Will the bandits attack them? 300 of them are new recruits. I'm afraid a single attack will break them up?" the second child said worriedly.

The third child grinned grimly and said, "Hey, it's not our people, let them die, and wouldn't this make the bandits think that we are useless waste that can be defeated in one blow, and don't deserve their attention?"

Hearing this, none of the officers felt that there was anything wrong with sacrificing Mark, and they all praised: "Yes, in this way, when fighting us, the bandits will take it lightly and let us make meritorious service with one blow! When the time comes The wages of the cubs can be raised again!"

Following the decision of the regiment officer, the two soldiers entered the former county governor's mansion with the order at the same time.

Entering the gate, all you see is pitch black. Countless men in black are holding guns in both hands, stabbing under the command of the officer.

One soldier immediately walked towards the officers who were watching the movement of the army at the front of the men in black, while the other walked towards the blue corner of the school field.

That's right, when Zhao Hu heard that he was in charge of the uniform uniform, Zhao Hu chose black without even thinking about it. The style was a bit like Orion's costume, as the uniform for the guards.And Mark, who received the same treatment, chose blue, a bit like the clothes worn by rich householders, as the uniform of the city guard.

The purchase of these two kinds of clothes, after making a fortune for tailors and cloth shops, also wiped out all the cloth in Jinwen City.

When Mark saw the order letter handed over by Xiao Bing, he was immediately dumbfounded. After a while, he said to Xiao Bing in surprise: "What's going on? My subordinates are city guards, why do we go out to patrol?"

Xiaobing said blankly: "I'm sorry, I'm just a soldier and I don't know the decision above, but the above asked me to pass a message: Are you an officer of the Fifth Regiment? Do you want to obey the order of the Fifth Regiment?" After speaking, he saluted, turned and ran away.

"My lord, what happened?" Zhou Ming and An Yong leaned over and asked.

"Look for yourself." Mark handed over the order.

At first glance, An Yong, a fiery guy, immediately shouted: "Damn! Isn't this telling us to die? They guys..." Zhou Ming covered his mouth when he said this.
