As his reputation rose, Zhang Yun was ready to start recruiting troops.

Only one hundred people are OK in Jingjiang Prefecture, but there are twenty-five prefectures and more than sixty counties on Guangnan West Road.

Zhang Yun still did not issue the notice of recruitment through Jingjiang Prefecture, but issued it in the name of his Guangnan West Road Xuanfu Envoy.

As soon as the notice came out, the entire Jingjiang Prefecture was shocked!

"According to the will of the officials, Zhang Yun, the envoy of the Guangnan West Road, recruited 1,000 new troops. Anyone who was under the rule of the Song Dynasty, who was five feet and five inches tall and strong, could sign up." A scholar-like man stood in front of the crowd and recited loudly.

"How about military pay? You should read it quickly!" a tall and wide man asked hurriedly.

"Why are you anxious? Wait for me to take a breath!" The scholar replied angrily.

"Those who pass the selection will receive preferential treatment, and the monthly military salary will be 1,000 yuan. If you encounter a war, you will be paid for two. If you kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, you will be rewarded separately and promoted to another level. As a good man from the Song Dynasty, please register at the military camp of Jingjiang Prefecture City within ten days. It will not be time-consuming!"

After the scholar finished speaking, he glanced at the soldiers standing around the notice. The momentum was beyond the ordinary army, and he was afraid that he would not be inferior to the imperial guards.

In the Song Dynasty, recruitment methods were generally adopted, whether it was the imperial guards, the wing army, or the large army stationed.

The main physical standard for recruiting soldiers is height, that is, height is one of the hard indicators for recruiting soldiers during the Song Dynasty.

From Song Taizu to Song Zhezong, soldiers were basically selected according to their height.

When Emperor Taizu of Song recruited imperial guards, he required those who were over five feet and eight inches to be selected as the top-level imperial guards, and the regular army was 5 feet and 5 inches.

According to the weight and measure system of the Song Dynasty, one foot is equal to ten inches, and one inch is now a little more than three centimeters, which means that one meter seven can join the regular army of the Song Dynasty.

When Emperor Zhenzong of Song recruited the Xiang army, he also stipulated that the minimum height should not be less than five feet and two inches.

The Song Dynasty court distributed military pay to the ban on soldiers at all levels, soldiers of the wing, soldiers of the army, soldiers stationed in large numbers, etc.

The military pay level is also extremely complex, with differences between officers and soldiers, and there are differences between officers and soldiers. Due to differences in currency systems and prices in different regions, regional differences are also formed, and even different heights are also different.

According to historical records, Song Renzong paid military salaries to the soldiers based on his height.

If he is over five feet and eight inches tall, his monthly salary is 1,000 citations; if he is over five feet and seven inches tall, his monthly salary is 700 citations; if he is over five feet and six inches tall, his monthly salary is 500 citations.

This method is also weird enough, but Zhang Yun gave a monthly salary of 1,000 pm, which is already considered a high military salary in the entire Guangnan West Road.

The innocent scholar was still pondering, but the onlookers were infuriated. A thousand-liter military pay was already hard to come by for poor families like them.

Once the signing notice was issued, even Zhang Yun himself did not expect the heat. In the end, Liu Bing reminded him from the side that the military pay of a thousand words was much higher than that of the Xiang army.

On the entire Guangnan West Road, very few of the Xiangjun troops in Jingjiang Mansion can get a monthly salary of 500 liters. After understanding the actual situation, Zhang Yun was a little embarrassed. It was not that he didn't want to save money, but that the notice had been issued and could not be withdrawn.

However, the effects of such high military pay are also different.

Zhang Yun currently only plans to recruit 1,000 people, but within just ten days, the number of people who signed up is as many as 4,000.

Looking at the entire Song Dynasty, combined with the folk sayings, the number of registrations is a bit scary.

It would be fine if the poor people came, but many soldiers who were unwilling to live in the wing army also came to join in the fun, which was difficult for everyone to destroy.

The Song army's organization has such strict requirements, but there is no problem with Zhang Yun. As long as he can be selected, what he does is just a document. Who asked Zhang Yun to take charge of the military power of the entire Guangnan West Road!

As soon as this opening opened, more soldiers flocked to the crowd. It goes without saying that the high military pay was high, but Zhang Yun's power was there, and he didn't see that others had wiped out so many copycats?

For a moment, the entire Jingjiang Prefecture was moved and the military officers were in trouble. This trick was so great that they could remove the firewood from the cauldron. Zhang Yun was their superior. He didn't please him in time at the beginning. Now who dared to jump out and say something wrong?

The military camp in the north city of Jingjiang Prefecture was filled with more than a thousand people. Today is the day when Zhang Yun selects the new army, and everyone who meets the standards is already standing here.

The center of the school ground was in chaos, but the soldiers responsible for the guards around were still motionless. Even if sweat was left on their foreheads, no one would take the initiative to reach out and wipe it away.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!" After the three-way drum sounded, Zhang Yun appeared in front of everyone in military uniform.

Looking at the crowd of people, Zhang Yun felt a little hurt. Today's method of selection was also thought about by hard work these days.

"Silent! Silent!" Xu Ping's big black man shouted twice, which immediately made the whole scene quieter.

"It's not easy to get a high military salary! There are no cowards here, and it's still time to leave now!" Zhang Yun said loudly, regardless of whether the group of people could hear or not.

After a pause, Zhang Yun continued, "Since no one wants to leave, it means you are not cowards. From today on, you will be trained to death until you become soldiers like them."

Zhang Yun said as he raised his hand to point at the soldiers responsible for the alert. These were all elites he trained.

After the conversation was over, Zhang Yun turned around and left. It was not his turn to take charge of the group training, so naturally someone went to train these recruits.

As for the principle, Zhang Yun said "practice to death" at the mobilization meeting last night!

Soon, the thousand people were divided into ten hundred-man teams, and each hundred-man team was divided into two teams, and each team was trained by four instructors.

As for the content, it is what they trained by Zhang Yun in Zhangjiazhuang. Without rules, no square or order can be achieved. When the new army is just established, what they train is military discipline.

According to Zhang Yun's idea, after the training was completed, only two hundred of the thousand people were able to enter the musket camp.

For the remaining soldiers, Xu Jun was responsible for forming 300 cavalrymen, Xu Ping was responsible for forming 500 sword and shield soldiers, and 200 musketeers were handed over to Mo Youcai.

The training of recruits was carried out as planned, and Zhang Yun also began to recruit craftsmen at Mo San's strong request.

Don’t underestimate the musket camp of 200 people. Once the shooting training begins, the cost is huge. Mo San and the others are capable of it, and they cannot support such consumption!

"Brother Liu, I'll ask you for this recruitment of craftsmen!" Zhang Yun stood up and bowed, and Liu Bing hurriedly returned the gift.

Only ten days after the new army's training, when Liu Bing came to the military camp again, he found that these newly recruited soldiers had changed.

Moreover, Liu Bing has never heard of this kind of military training method! I believe that there will be more changes in a while.

"Don't worry, President, I'll make arrangements now. It's just a matter of too many craftsmen, and it may take some time!" Liu Bing answered respectfully.

"Two months, at most two months!" Zhang Yun gave her own bottom line. If she had not found enough craftsmen after two months, it would seriously affect her plan.

Although Liu Bing was a little embarrassed, he nodded and agreed. In this situation, the more he helped Zhang Yun, the higher his position in Zhang Yun's heart.
