Chapter 961 Recruiting Soldiers 2
Many wild samurai don't care about the knowledge of the five stones. They serve as bodyguards for businessmen, and their monthly income is more than five stones. But in this era when land cannot be bought and sold, the only way to get hereditary land is to become a warrior, no matter how rich a businessman is. , political status is far inferior to a down-and-out formal warrior!

So these wild warriors are very excited. As long as they get Zhao Hu's approval and make some meritorious deeds, they might be promoted to warriors immediately!Going out at that time will definitely be more beautiful than having ten pennies in your pocket!
"My lord! My lord! I want to sign up! I want to be a soldier!"

"My lord, this subordinate is willing to fight for your lord!"

"My lord! Take me! As long as I have food and shelter, I don't need that bucket of rice!"

All of a sudden, the idlers who had gathered around roared excitedly.

"Don't worry! Come one by one, let me choose!" Facing many scenes, such scenes are completely trivial, and he waved his hand indifferently.

With the help of the soldiers of the Ling family and under the restraint of those wild warriors, these noisy guys also calmed down, quietly waiting for Zhao Hu's solicitation.

Although Zhao Hu has no power.But the eyesight of people is still very good, maybe you can't see the character of loyalty and treachery, but you can still get a general idea of ​​the strength at a glance.

So without further ado, Zhao Hu recruited all the wild warriors and deserters, and then recruited some strong men to raise 60 troops.

Zhao Hu first asked these guys if they wanted food or money.Those who want food will share a bucket of rice, and those who want money will sell the rice to the grain store for copper coins.As soon as this trick was done, it was obvious that most of the people who wanted cash were wild warriors and deserters, while most of the young and strong wanted rice.

Looking at this appearance, you can see why the lords are willing to recruit and promote local farmers, because they know the basics and have families and cubs.And those wild warriors and deserters, if they took the money and ran away now, Zhao Hu would have nothing to do.

After the monthly salary is divided, these sixty people are Zhao Hu's subordinates. Although they can defect or betray and kill Zhao Hu in turn, there is a premise, so don't let people know, otherwise the bandit group will wipe them out, let alone kill them. Don't talk about other lords and local tyrants, they will definitely kill each one they see.Because of this kind of unreasonable betrayal, even a thief is not ashamed.

This is also the effect brought about by this worldization, that is, if you betray for the sake of your family, for your benefactor, or because the main family has no future, etc., then although it is also disgusting, you can do whatever you want later, just like you Same as betrayal.If the new master he is with is awesome or he is awesome after becoming independent, everyone will praise him and despise his former master.

But like Zhao Hu, who just recruited people, just distributed the money, and then betrayed Zhao Hu, everyone would definitely call for a beating.

But as long as you have been serving Zhao Hu for about a month, then you will find excuses, such as thinking that Zhao Hu is useless, such as thinking that you have more prospects for development, etc. to betray you, then follow the above, what should you do? It's the same as it is.

As for why Mao would take off his pants and fart like this, Zhao Hu couldn't figure it out. If he wanted to betray him, he would betray him. Why are there so many reasons?But this place recognizes this.

For example, like Zhao Hu, who is a flag-raising warrior who is valued by the Ling family, as long as he shouts that I will not serve him, occupy the land entrusted by the Ling family, and become a local tyrant on his own, other than the Ling family, other people will not be hostile at all. , and may even pull Zhao Hu into the local tyrant alliance to fight against the Ling family.

But in Zhao Hu's eyes, such a guy should be caught and exterminated to relieve his anger.

So Zhao Hu ignored these messy customs. Anyway, as long as these guys get into his hands and want to betray, hehe, it's so difficult.

Zhao Hu, who thinks that he is capable enough to handle these guys, recruited them to the bathing place carelessly. Everyone scrubbed them clean, and then bought the cheapest single-color robes, and put them on one by one, and then put them on. Shenlong relies on the flag.

Not to mention, although they are not equipped with weapons or armor, and they have the cheapest clothes, but with such a uniform, the whole momentum will rise.And those guys who were careless and indifferent before were naturally awed by this collective power and became much more obedient.

Then, Zhao Hu directly appointed fifty wild warriors to be the team leaders, each leading 4 soldiers, and directly formed fifty team leaders, and divided the remaining 10 into four for the two clerks, and the remaining The six strongest were led by Zhao Hu himself.

During the formation, the weapons were also distributed at the same time. The ten team leaders naturally received samurai swords, and all the others received a long gun.

After that, Zhao Hu also bought a batch of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, needles and threads, wound medicine, fire knives and stones, a few pieces of cheapest cloth, a set of the cheapest agricultural and soldier bamboo armor, and other sundries, as well as some dried vegetables and salt. Fish, almost spent all the cash, even the rice is only about 60 shi left.

Not to mention, once Zhao Hu bestowed the samurai sword and appointed these wild warriors as the team leaders, the team leaders were all very excited, caressing the long sword with great care, and then naturally ordered the four soldiers under him with a majestic reprimand .

For these wild samurai, commanding the four soldiers under their command is really a piece of cake. They may not have the ability to command a battle, but subduing these four soldiers is definitely something that can be easily grasped.Under the awesomeness, the rebellious guy, under the weak number of people, under the strength of the samurai, he can only be obedient and obedient.

When the wild samurai taught those soldiers, Zhao Hu also said at the same time: "Behave better. My Zhao family has such a large territory, and it is also adjacent to Donghai County. The family's military force cannot be so scarce, so you have performed well. Everyone present It is not impossible for everyone to become a samurai! Remember that with five stones, you can be equipped with a long sword, and ten stones can make you a servant. I really look forward to your calling me lord."

As soon as Zhao Hu said this, the unruly soldiers were originally dissatisfied because of the lessons of the wild warriors, but the restless atmosphere immediately became hot. Everyone subconsciously restrained their bad habits, and all began to act according to their memories or imaginations. The standard elite has come to demand itself.

Don't underestimate these idlers wandering in the castle town. They may have bad habits of one kind or another, but they also know the wealth and power of samurai better than peasant soldiers. What a way to please.

More importantly, they knew that Zhao Hu, a warrior, had at least 1000 shi of Zhixing. According to the habit of half-public and half-public, that is to say, in a family, he would usually use half of his own Zhixing to enshrine his subordinates. is the accepted limit.

And when this limit is reached, either internal strife will start to go down the road, or external expansion will increase knowledge and action.So they knew that Zhao Hu could take out at most five hundred stones of Zhixing for the canonization.

And according to the canonization rules of five stones and one warrior, my lord can confer a hundred warriors.Thinking that my lord actually has 62 samurai canonization places, but I only have [-] people here, no wonder my lord dares to say that he expects everyone to call him lord!
The future is right in front of us, so, as long as you are not an idiot, how can you not express yourself well?
Therefore, these wild samurai were quickly recognized for their control over their subordinates, and a decent team appeared in front of everyone in a short while.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Hu asked them to push the cart and start on the road loaded with supplies.

As for those soldiers from the Ling family who came to help?Zhao Hu was also very generous, one stone of rice per person, which made these soldiers go back happily.

A group of people pushed a cart, planted a flag, wore bamboo armor, and held a weapon, and they just swayed on the road.

There is no need to care about robbers or anything, this section of the road is the main traffic route of the Ling family, and there are patrols from the Ling family wandering around from time to time.At the same time, the surrounding villages are all owned, that is to say, there are warriors and strong men, so they are very safe.Zhao Hu and a few of his attendants wandered along this road swaggeringly before, and no one stopped them.

So Zhao Hu didn't pay attention to the team's sluggishness at all, and let them relax for a while, and when they reached their destination, they would complain endlessly.

Just like this, the group of people relaxed, and after three days of hard work, they finally arrived at Zhao Hu's territory.

Seeing Zhao Hu's armed group arrive at Linhe Village, Linhe Village was on guard at first, but after seeing Zhao Hu's flag, it immediately disbanded.

But what is strange is that the head of Linhe Village did not send anyone out, instead, not long after, dozens of old and young, as well as four or five young and old, with grief and numbness on their faces, came out with a lot of messy things on their shoulders. the village.

Then these dozens of people were stunned by Zhao Hu and the others, came to Zhao Hu and knelt down, and an old man said tremblingly: "My lord, we will be the citizens of your territory from now on."

"Damn it!" Zhao Hu could only use these words to express his feelings. Why did the farmland on the other side of his river beach look like fifty or sixty stones?It stands to reason that it would be reasonable to have a dozen or so young and strong.Now there are only four or five young adults, and the other 34 are young and old?

And what is this?Drive them all out of the village.To become one's own subjects, doesn't that mean that one has to be responsible for their houses and food?Damn!It must be the land allocated by the bad guy at the head of Linhe Village, so give yourself such a burden!
