The answer given by the wing headquarters made Zhao Hu 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 would be illegal to purchase additional weapons for personal guards.

Military uniforms? The same reason as above, and when Zhao Hu asked him to solve the problem on his own, he also made it particularly clear 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 staffing and the others should be solved by themselves.

Zhao Hu was still stunned, but Zhou Wen had 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 Zhao Hu 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, the room becomes much narrower in this way.

The next day, the sky was just dawn, and the thriving men who were late and rushed to the scene immediately discovered that the dilapidated county chief's mansion had become completely new. Seeing these, the thriving men felt very comfortable. Their camps should be here, right?

When we entered the schoolyard, thirty-two personal guards were waiting for a long time. After a loud shout, the men arranged according to the queues yesterday, waiting for the officers to name the officers. However, the queues were arranged in a row, and the strange came immediately, with more than a hundred men who were anxious outside the queue.

The officers who were originally angry rushed over angrily. Before they could yell, the strong men immediately revealed their identity. Seeing the strong men who actively joined the army, the officers were obviously stunned, but since the person was here, they could still be released? Of course, they should be absorbed on the spot.

For three consecutive days, the former county chief's mansion was crowded with people. Afterwards, most of the adult and strong men in Jinwencheng and its nearby areas were invested in the Jinwencheng Guards.

Of course, Mark's Ximen City Guard is full. Mark is not a fool. The salary he gives to the soldiers is the same as that of Zhao Hu. This way, there is no need to raise the salary to attract attention and save money. Why not do it?

Compared to Mark's 300 soldiers, Zhao Hu's side is more terrifying, with nearly 5,000 people!

In other words, Zhao Hu recruited one-tenth of Jinwencheng's population this time, and also brought 80% of the most powerful males from the age of 18 to 30 in Jinwencheng's army. Zhao Hu divided the five thousand people into three brigades and three thousand-person teams, and of course, he sent six personal guards to serve as chief officers again.

Now that the entire army is controlled by Zhao Hu, he is too lazy to send the brigade chief of staff and logistics chief.

The lack of these more than 5,000 middle-aged men is a huge blow to Jinwencheng, which has only 50,000 people.

First of all, hunters hunting outside were almost extinct. The prices of meat and fur rose sharply, and almost no one visited restaurants. Most of the shops were fewer, and the output dropped sharply. Coupled with the large-scale purchases of more than 5,000 people, Jinwencheng suffered poor supplies and high prices.

The only thing that is better is that the farmland remains stable. After all, people aged 40 to 60 can still work in farming. Of course, the men who think they are still living a better life. Due to the lack of manpower, they can now choose to choose jobs.

However, the wealthy families in Jinwencheng had great opinions about Zhao Hu. Not to mention that most of the workers in their workshops were fewer, even most of the workers who served them were gone, and the servants who sold out were not interested in doing things. They wanted to join the army all day long, and they had to work hard to hire people from the outside.

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

The eldest lieutenant colonel slapped the table: "I didn't expect that Zhao Hu would recruit so many soldiers at once. What did you do? Didn't you say you have told him not to exceed the number of soldiers in the wing? Why are you almost two soldiers in the wing now?"

The second middle school student said aggrievedly: "I went to ask, but do you know what he said? He said that the guard team only has two thousand people, and the other three thousand people are auxiliary soldiers, which means short-term workers who come to work for the guard team! It is not counted as the quota for the guard team!"

The boss widened his eyes and shouted, "What! Auxiliary soldiers? The short-term workers who helped the escort work? Since they are short-term workers, why are they given money to buy weapons? Why are they wearing the same clothes and why are they monthly salary? And most importantly, why do they need to conduct queue fighting training? Isn't this covering the ear or something!"

The second child stopped talking.

The third brother 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 just a blame for the fact that we gave him such a large organization."

"I don't care how many troops he leads! What I care about is that there are so many strong men in Jinwen City now, how can these industries continue to operate? Haven't you seen those rich families come to us to cry?" The boss waved his hand and shouted.

"What's so excited?" The old man drinking tea looked up and glanced at the boss.

The boss immediately shrank and murmured: "Sir, we can support us for so long. In addition to the on-time military pay from above, we have to rely on the donations of these wealthy families. Moreover, the instability of Jinwen City also affects our attack plan."

"Did you become stupid with anger?" the old man said slowly: "The difficulty facing Jinwencheng now is that it is poor supplies and few strong men, right?"

"Yes, 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 and said.

"Since Zhao Hu is the chief officer of the Jinwencheng Guard, if there is difficulties in Jinwencheng, he has the responsibility to solve the problem. If there is a shortage of materials, let him be a bodyguard to protect the merchants and go to the provincial capital to buy it. If there is a shortage of strong men, let him arrest the bandits and become slaves." 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 troops have only been formed for three days. Does he have the ability to capture bandits? Moreover, Zhao Hu has a deep background and may not act as a result."

"It's okay, I'll issue a regular order and ask him if he is an officer of the Fifth Regiment, and whether he is still obeying the orders of the Fifth Regiment headquarters." After the old man said that, he continued to squint his eyes and drink tea.

The boss's eyes lit up and asked, "Yes! But what should I do with that Mark?"

The old man didn't say anything.

The third brother immediately said: "I'll order him to investigate the situation in Yamaki Village."

Everyone was stunned: "Will these hundreds of people go to Yamaki Village to alert the snake?"

The third brother said affirmatively: "We just want to alert the snake. These hundreds of people are wandering around there. The bandits with thousands of people are vigilant at first, and they will relax after many days. After getting used to it, Mark and the others left, and the bandits will relax, which is just right for us to lurk near.

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

"Will the bandits attack them? Three hundred of them are newcomers. I'm afraid that one attack will cause them to disperse?" the second brother said worriedly.

The third brother smiled grimly and said, "Hey, it's not our people. Isn't it more likely that the bandits think we are wastes that can break out in one blow, and aren't they worthy of their attention?"

Hearing this, none of the officers felt that there was anything wrong with the sacrifice of Mark, and they all exclaimed: "Yes, when fighting with us, the bandits will take it lightly and let us make contributions in one blow! Then the salaries of the little boys will be increased again!"

With the decision of the officers of the corps headquarters, the two soldiers brought the order letter into the former county chief's mansion at the same time.

When you enter the gate, you will see a piece of painted black. Countless men in black are holding guns in both hands and stabbing under the command of the officer.

A soldier immediately walked towards several officers staring at the army at the front of the black team, while the other walked towards a blue spot in the corner of the school ground.

That's right, when he heard that he was responsible for the uniform clothing, Zhao Hu chose black without thinking, which was a bit like the clothing dressed by the Orion as the guard uniform. Mark, who received the same treatment, chose blue, a bit like the clothing dressed by the rich family, to be the city guard uniform.

After purchasing these two types of clothes, after making a big profit from tailors and cloth shops, they also swept away the fabrics of Jinwencheng.

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

The soldier said expressionlessly: "Sorry, I'm just a soldier. I don't know the decision above, but I asked me to pass on a sentence: Are you an officer of the Fifth Regiment? Do you want to obey the orders of the Fifth Regiment?" After saying that, he saluted and turned around and ran away.

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

"You can see it yourself." Mark handed over the order.

When he saw that An Yong, a guy with a hot personality, immediately shouted: "Damn it! Isn't this asking us to die? These guys..." Zhou Ming covered his mouth when he said this.
