Chapter 1464 Jinwen City (5)
As for whether he will die after joining the army?
For them who are at any time, they will be taken away by beasts, poisonous snakes and bandits, this is not a question worth considering. They didn’t know that they wanted to join the army before, but unfortunately the quota of the Fifth Regiment was limited and they could not join the army at all. They had to give up. How could they let go of this good opportunity now?
Moreover, they have a very good impression of the Jinwen City Guard. They feel like their own family when they hear this name, so there is no need to think too much and sign up without saying a word.
The gate of the former county chief’s mansion was very lively, and the dense crowds surrounded the place. In addition to the farmers who ran back from the fields outside the city, there were also hunters who had just rushed back from the mountains. Of course, there were also friends who worked for the rich people in the city.
In addition to them, such as the strong men with sufficient conditions, there are also a large number of people in the city who come with their families or watch the fun, which suddenly makes the place full of people and noisy.
Such a scene is simply a piece of cake for Zhao Hu's personal guards who had recruited soldiers with Zhao Hu in the Southeast Peninsula. Several personal guards slammed the whip, which made the crowd shut up and yelled openly: "Register those who sign up line up and come one by one! Otherwise, the whip would be merciless!"
After being scared like this, the originally messy men immediately followed the orders obediently.
Seeing that it became quiet, dozens of guards immediately rushed into the crowd while urging the strong men to line up, and wasolating the crowd from the strong men. The guards behind several tables lined up in the gate also picked up the pen and ink, laid the paper, and prepared to write the roster.
Originally, the guards wanted to stop the strong men who looked obviously over twenty-five years old, but seeing that among the ten strong men, at least five of them were over twenty-five, they immediately turned a blind eye and put the person in after recording their names and family situations.
Seeing such an easy selection, the people outside couldn't help but feel ready, but after a few whips, the order stabilized again.
Not long after, Zhao Hu brought people to the recruitment site.
Seeing Zhao Hu arrive, the guard at the door immediately shouted: "Today's recruitment is temporarily over, please be early tomorrow." After saying that, he ignored the noise of the people and closed the door.
Seeing that the gate was closed, the strong man on the school ground became a little turbulent. The guard whipped a few times and shouted: "Sujing! The sir is here!"
When the strong men heard the term "Sir" they immediately closed their mouths and looked at Zhao Hu.
At this time, the personal guards who had already sorted out the list came forward to report: "Sir, there are 3,512 strong men who have come to register this time. Among them, there are 2,134 farmers, 782 hunters, and 596 friends, all over 18 years old, but half of them are over 25 years old. I am afraid that more than 3,000 people can be recruited when the door is outside."
Zhao Hu was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Zhou Wen and Sun Jie.
Zhao Hu knew very well that without the instructions of these two guys, the personal guard would not have claimed to change his orders without authorization.
Seeing Zhao Hu turning his head, Zhou Wen said with great help: "Sir, I knew that there were not many young and strong people in Jinwen City. If I hadn't given them a special instruction to pay attention, even if I recruited the whole city of youth and strong people, there might be less than one team."
Sun Jie, who was not a good person, was immediately startled when he heard this and wanted to pull Zhou Wen's sleeve, but when he saw Zhao Hu's eyes here, he didn't dare to move, and he secretly complained in his heart.
Zhao Hu found that Zhou Wen had not realized the mistake at all, sighed, turned around and said to the guards: "Carefully check the age of the young men. Those who are under 18 years old and over 25 years old, let them retreat aside.
Everyone is a neighborhood neighbor, and most of the people's departments know each other, so when they see people aged 18 to 25 being left in the center of the school grounds, and those who are over 25 being driven to the corners, the tycoons immediately became noisy. They didn't want to lose such a job that would be for food, accommodation and monthly salary.
"Sir, I'm unparalleled in the bow. I said that I would never shoot the bird's eyes. I'm definitely a candidate for an archer!" A voice suddenly shouted.
As soon as these words were said, the group of 25-year-old men immediately began to promote themselves: "Sir, I am very strong. I can cut off the wild boar's head with one knife. Please ask me!"
"I want me! I eat less and have great strength! I definitely work hard!"
If these people hadn't dared to attack the personal guards, they might have surrounded Zhao Hu.
Seeing the surging feelings in the crowd, Zhou Wen's face changed. The chaotic scene in front of him was a trouble he caused.
"Everyone is at ease." As soon as the officer Zhao Hu spoke, he did not need to scold his guards, and the chaotic men calmed down.
Zhao Hu said: "Although the notice has clearly stated that only strong men aged 18 to 25 are recruiting, we cannot ignore them if you are so enthusiastic about joining the army.
"Let's do this. All the strong men over twenty-five years old are assigned to the auxiliary corps. Except for the salary is half less than that of the guard, the other treatment is the same. If the auxiliary corps performs well, they can be promoted to the guard. If you don't want to, then you can leave."
Auxiliary soldiers? No one present had heard of such troops. Some of them were flexible, especially those who were from a mate. Seeing the people around them confused, they couldn't help but shouted as if they were showing off: "I don't understand this? The salary of auxiliary soldiers is only half of the guard team, which means that auxiliary soldiers are short-term workers, and the guard team is long-term workers!"
The men immediately understood when they heard this. Although they were just short-term workers, they also received the military salary, so they were considered to have joined the army.
Thinking that he was a soldier, he immediately didn't care whether he was an auxiliary soldier. Anyway, that adult said that as long as he performed well, the auxiliary soldier could still become a guard.
Just because of those 18-year-old young boys, how could they be the opponents of those young men? With just a little show, they could steal their positions and let them be auxiliary soldiers. None of the strong men who had made a decision in their hearts expressed their intention to leave.
Zhao Hu was stunned. His original intention was to let them serve as logistics personnel. After all, they were recruited in no matter what, and it was not good to be transferred to the guard team and it was not good to be let go.
The name of auxiliary soldiers was also temporarily decided to use them to assist the main troops in their work. After all, in addition to training, regular troops also need to cooperate with logistics soldiers to do some work such as building barracks and cleaning camps. Divide this job, which may allow regular troops to concentrate on fighting.
As for why they are not called logistics soldiers, it is because logistics soldiers are in the regular organization. However, Zhao Hu did not expect that these strong men would explain it by short-term workers and long-term workers who helped people to explain it.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hu suddenly had an idea in his mind, yes, why not form a special auxiliary force to help the combat troops work? Although the logistics soldiers are enough to be responsible for the supply issues within the organization, other trivial matters still require the cooperation of combat troops. For work such as setting up camps and cleaning the battlefield, all the troops will have to be busy.
If a group of auxiliary soldiers with the same number as the combat troops can fight with the team, and the camps and cleaning the battlefield can be handed over to the auxiliary soldiers for execution, the combat troops can concentrate on vigilance, so that they will not be afraid that the troops will be counterattacked by the enemy when they are stolen.
Moreover, with the help of this group of auxiliary soldiers, the combat troops can also reduce the burden, and the spoils and injuries can be handed over to the auxiliary soldiers for care. In normal times, the auxiliary soldiers can be kept on guard and the combat troops rest with peace of mind. This will increase the combat effectiveness at least several times.
Seeing Zhao Hu suddenly stunned, Sun Jie pulled Zhao Hu's sleeves and reminded carefully: "Sir, everyone is waiting for you to speak."
Zhao Hu, who woke up, glanced at everyone and smiled, "Now you can follow the command of my personal guards." With a wave of his hand, the personal guards immediately shouted according to the list. This work was very familiar to the personal guards, and they just replaced the ten-point organization of the Southeast Peninsula with the 55 organization of the empire.
In a short while, more than 1,500 young men aged 18 to 25 were divided into twelve squadrons, and twelve personal guards were automatically included in the squadron leader.
According to the convention, these squadrons still had a logistics corps directly under the command of the squadron leader. The remaining nearly 2,000 men over 25 years old were divided into twenty-tenth-one teams, and twenty personal guards also automatically became centurions.
Then the squadron leader and centurion took his subordinates to occupy a place in the schoolyard and began to select the internal squad leader. In fact, the selection was very simple. One squad, five people fought in the hand-to-hand combat, the winner was the squad leader, and then a team of five squad leaders fought in the hand-to-hand combat, and the winner was the squad leader.
At first, when I heard the orders of the chief guard, all the strong men were stunned. Isn’t the official positions in the army just appointed by the superiors? Why do you have to fight for them by yourself? Everyone is a neighbor or even a relative, so how can they do it?
However, after the words of the personal guard officer: "In addition to basic salary, there are also job salaries, and no matter what, they are also officers." The words of the young men with their eyes shining immediately turned aside.
As for the auxiliary soldiers, it is relatively simple, just select the tenth chief. However, due to the excessive number of competitors, most of the winners have blue noses and swollen faces.
After a lot of hard work, the squad leader and the squad leader were quickly selected. After the squad leader and the squad leader joined, he immediately began to scold his subordinates as the squadron leader. The originally messy squadron suddenly became a little military.
After looking at the troops, Zhao Hu couldn't help but nodded and smiled, "Very good, then I'll give you salary now." The guards carrying the box behind him immediately opened the box, and the yellow color immediately made everyone's faces turn yellow.
The strong man who could not help cheering when he heard the salary was paid was immediately whipped by his personal guard's boss.
