Chapter 208 Auxiliary Soldiers (Part 2)

Originally, Cons wanted to pay salaries according to the military regulations, but was reminded by the article: "Sir, they are all without military status. If you really pay salaries according to the military regulations, you will be careful to cause trouble. Anyway, this place is poor, and these soldiers are your private soldiers, so just give them some."

Because of Xiangwen’s reminder, this kind of treatment of first-class soldiers will be enjoyed as soon as they join the army. However, compared with soldiers, those officers only have one or two more postal allowances.

I don’t know the details, but the little soldiers holding the gold coins were not worried about protesting. They all licked and bit the gold coins first, and then hugged them tightly in their arms and looked around nervously. This time they did not scream excitedly, not because they were afraid of being whipped, but because they were afraid of being confiscated gold coins.

However, their eyes quickly focused on the squad leader, and the squad leader's eyes were all in his mind: "Damn it, I would have thought that I would have put more force on my life just now! That position is my own, so I can also have one more gold coin! Especially the squad leader, there are five gold coins!"

The strong men over twenty-five years old were all looking at the young men with red eyes. They were now feeling angry because they only had one gold coin in their hands and only two of the ten-masters. If Cons hadn't said that the auxiliary soldiers had performed well, they could have rebelled long ago.

Seeing the look of the auxiliary soldiers, Cons smiled: "Today of each month will be a payday in the future, but before the monthly payday, the assessment will be conducted. The qualified auxiliary soldiers will enter the guard team, and the unqualified guard team will be demoted to the auxiliary soldiers." As soon as Cons said this, the atmosphere suddenly condensed, and then a rapid breath sounded.

Seeing that the strong men had already aroused the momentum, Cons smiled and said, "Okay, since the camp is not ready yet, you can only live at home temporarily. Now remember the appearance of your partners and bosses around you and disband."

"Salute!" The thirty-two personal guards immediately stood at the center of salute. After the salute, they immediately turned around and raised their whip and shouted: "You bastards! The sir said that you should stand at the center of salute when you disband! I will not punish you now. I will all go to this school at 6:00 tomorrow! I will give him a good look if I am late! Disband now!"

The personal guards were all brave and brave in Feidu Peninsula, and they praised "discipline is drawn by a whip", allowing them to train these strong men. It seems that the strong men will have a hard time in the future.

Some of the strong men were startled to run away, while others stood attentively and saluted, which was noisy anyway. The guards were so angry that they yelled again.

The door opened, and the people who were looking out outside couldn't help but sigh in relief when they saw the strong men coming out, "It's out, finally, I thought they were sold."

From these words, we can see that the people were not very confident in Cons. However, when these strong men took out gold coins, some generous strong men were even more proud to treat them, which immediately changed the people's view of Cons. As the noise went away, the gate of the former county chief's mansion quieted down again.

An officer who had been watching immediately ran back to the wing headquarters, and the old wing captain and other major officers had already gathered here.

"Sir, Cons recruited more than 3,500 people, surpassing our wing! And his subordinates also said that they would continue to recruit the next day!" The officer said anxiously. If Cons recruited all the strong men, his wing might lose control of Jincheng.

"Well, how many people did Okor recruit?" the old colonel asked without responding to this.

The officer was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No one seems to be because all the strong men were attracted by Cons. He knew that they could not be recruited at this time, so he temporarily stopped recruiting." The officer didn't care about the people present and couldn't help but continue saying, "What should we do? Will you let Cons continue to recruit strong men?"

The eldest lieutenant colonel smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. So what if Cons recruits 10,000 people? Do you have weapons to equip them? You know, even if we don't have ten thousand weapons in stock.

"Want to buy weapons outside the personal guards without a military license, which is a bad plan. He would not be so stupid. A troops without weapons are not as good as bandits, so he is safe, if he is willing to spend money on his own, just let him raise them."

"Don't pay attention to Cons's affairs and let him do anything. Anyway, he can't do anything. Let's discuss where to set up an ambush to lure the bandits down the mountain." said the second lieutenant colonel.

When the officer heard this, he thought that Cons had sent two hundred and sixty excellent war horses and stopped talking.

The third lieutenant colonel suddenly laughed and said, "I don't know what the bandits are doing. When they see the war horses, they almost flies see blood. They pounce on them without any chance. And they even sacrificed their lives to protect the war horses. Why are they so nervous about war horses? In addition to transporting goods, the war horses in the forests are simply suicide."

The boss laughed and said, "No matter how many of them are, they are more fond of war horses. We should be able to lure hundreds of bandits down the mountain. This will not only facilitate the destruction, but also allow these war horses to be used in dozens of times."

"Well, my subordinates think that it is better to set up an ambush here in Yamaki Village. According to the information about the victims of people going out, there is a Shanyue tribe active near Yamaki Village. At least more than a thousand people live in Yamaki Village. If this Shanyue tribe is destroyed, it will be enough for the soldiers below to be promoted to one level." The second lieutenant colonel pointed to the map on the table and said.

The old colonel looked at the map, looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"

Most of the officers nodded, and only the boss pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, this place is overgrown with weeds and surroundings are dense forests, which makes it easier for us to ambush, but be careful to be discovered by bandits in advance."

"We can send someone to bluff on the other side to attract their attention, and then we take the opportunity to lurk. After the war horses sway around there, the bandits will definitely rush down. But..."

The third lieutenant colonel sighed and continued, "It's not that I belittle myself. Although we and the bandits can win one-on-one, they will also be difficult to win. This ambush requires at least three brigades to reduce our losses, while those who bluff need at least two brigades, so that no one will defend the city."

The boss laughed and said, "Haha, third brother, have you forgotten the existence of Cons? This guy has recruited so many people, and it is not possible to fight in the field, but at least he can defend the city. Don't forget that the bandits do not have siege equipment, and can drive them away by standing on the top of the city to throw stones and shoot arrows. This little thing can be done by civilians, let alone these organized recruits."

Hearing this, the third brother touched his head and smiled, "Hey, I almost forgot. I didn't expect that Cons had this usefulness. We won't have to send people to defend the city in the future. Our corps can also let go of our hands and feet to fight against those bandits everywhere!"

The third brother's words made all the officers present nodded. In the past, even if they went out to fight, at least one brigade would have to stay behind. How much military merit was lost? Now there is a special city guard soldier, so I don't have to stay in the city.

"Well, if we say so, don't we have to wait for Cons' troops to send troops to a little bit of power?" the second brother frowned.

The old colonel who didn't speak much suddenly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We need to wait for a while to find out the environment there. At the same time, we will put a horse around there a few days later to dispel the bandits' doubts. It also takes time, and we can afford to wait."

When everyone heard that the team leader made such a decision, they calmed down.

Seeing that Cons had disbanded the troops, Okol hurriedly leaned over and got close to him, but Okol said, "Boss Cons, you have such a big deal, I can't even recruit a soldier. I'm so proud of myself. How about setting up a city guard for me? No need to have more, three hundred people are enough."

Xiangwen opened his mouth with a conditioned reflex and wanted to mock Okol, but when he thought that he had just been convicted and now he had to act low-key, he shut up and said nothing.

Cons, who had no one to answer for him, had to nod and smile, "Okay, no problem. You can recruit at the door tomorrow. It's my turn when there are all people."

Although the second lieutenant colonel hinted that Cons's troops should not exceed the wing, Cons believed that he had only recruited about 1,500 guards and did not meet the limit at all, so he was ready to continue recruiting. As for those auxiliary soldiers, those were short-term workers recruited to do miscellaneous work for the guards, which did not count.

Okol obviously didn't expect Cons to be so easy to talk to. After all, no matter who changes, he would never give his strength to outsiders. So he was stunned. However, Okol quickly woke up and said with a smile: "Boss Cons is so generous. Why not do this? This meal is a restaurant tonight, mine!"

Xiang Wen was resentful of Okol's pride and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Okol, we order every meal at a restaurant. Isn't it true that Lord Okol shows sincerity?"

Okol's face immediately felt embarrassed. This beauty was indeed indulged. How could she say it if she couldn't get out of the market? At the same time, Okol also understood that it was the most troublesome to get married to such rich and powerful people. For example, now she treats guests in the best restaurant. Unfortunately, even the Ministry of War is a regular customer of this restaurant, which is really depressing.

Cons smiled and said, "Sorry, my subordinates love to joke too much. You are not apologizing to Major Okor?"

Xiang Wen was stunned when he heard this, but he still bowed obediently and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Okore, forgive me for being unrestrained."

"Haha, why are Boss Cons so polite? But I don't know how to express my respect for Boss Cons, so I had to treat you to dinner with shamelessness." Okor hurriedly shook his hand and said.

Cons nodded and said, "Okay, let's meet at the Yipin Restaurant tonight. Now I'm going to find someone to repair the barracks."

Hearing Cons agree, Okol nodded happily, took the people away after a few polite words. Cons and the others did not notice at all. Okol turned around, the smile on his face completely disappeared, and he changed into a frosty look.

Seeing the look of his own adults, Levin and the others clenched their teeth, but they were also tactful and did not comfort Okol.

Looking at Okol's back, Cons said to Xiangwen: "Xiangwen, be more respectful to Okol in the future."

Xiang Wen responded, and then said with some confusion: "Sir, is there anything strange about Okore?" Xiang Wen knew that Cons didn't care about these trivial matters, and now he specifically urged himself to find something wrong with Okore.

Cons shook his head: "There is nothing strange, it's just like he's hiding something."

When Weijie heard this, he secretly locked Okor as the target of surveillance.

When Cons said this, he couldn't help but smile: "Forget it, let's not talk about these inexplicable things, send someone to find a craftsman to repair the place, and at least prepare a house for 5,000 people."

"Five thousand people!" Xiang Wen and Wei Jie were both shocked. Xiang Wen couldn't help but remind him: "Sir, it's not good to be too arrogant."

"Haha, half of them are auxiliary soldiers, specializing in the trivial affairs of the combat troops. There are less than one wing in the real combat troops." Cons explained.

"Oh? It is specifically responsible for the daily trivial affairs of the combat troops? Can't the troops who are free to take action be a full-time combat soldier? Sir, this can be promoted in Qingyue City." Wei Jie hurriedly suggested.

"Fighting soldiers? Auxiliary soldiers? Hey, it's really a suitable name." Cons nodded and said, "Well, you can pass this back to Qingyue City and let them change it."

"Sir, we don't have a unified uniform. Did we ask the brigade headquarters? And we also have to purchase a batch of daily necessities." Xiang Wentianxing would notice these details.

"Well, you also need to write about weapons and equipment. Let's ask the wing headquarters for these supplies together." Cons nodded and said.

However, the answer given by the wing headquarters made Cons and others stunned. There were no weapons and the escort team was not a regular force. The wing headquarters could not be responsible for the supply of weapons, and the team officials would solve it themselves. However, here I specifically reminded that without a military department license, it is illegal to purchase additional weapons for personal guards.

Military uniforms? The same reason as above, and when I asked Cons to solve the problem on my own, it was specifically stated that it should not be the same as the military uniform. As for other things, it is the same. Anyway, it is just a matter of one sentence. The corps headquarters only provides the organization and the others should be solved by themselves.

Cons was still stunned, Xiangwen had already found a solution. He could not buy it himself, but private people could. You should know that the imperial law does not prohibit private people from possessing weapons. He asked those strong men to go to the blacksmith shop to create a weapon of the same type, so that they would carry their own weapons to the army.

Clothing? This is even simpler. Just find a clothing shop to make thousands of wear-resistant clothes of the same style and color. Other things can only be purchased on the street.

When Cons went to a restaurant for socializing, the craftsmen who were invited by high salaries had already worked night and worked overnight. In fact, they didn't have much work, 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 number of barracks in the county governor's mansion, and each room is very spacious, with only the doors and windows and the walls being furrowed. Adding a few wooden beds can meet the requirements of 5,000 people. Of course, this makes the room much narrower. hf();
