Chapter 215 Gun Bai's Mind
On the 8th, I specifically asked Lin Zhongsheng about the process of recruiting guards.
Compared to the process of forming an infantry regiment, the process of recruiting guards is extremely simple. It is nothing more than preparing relevant documents, stamping and signing them at necessary positions, and then submitting them to the superior department to leave a secret case in the superior department. That's all.
However, this is the process of directly promoting guards in the army. If you recruit directly from the people, you have to go through a recruitment process. If you want to improve the treatment of guards and let the guards carry the sergeant's ejection directly, you have to go through a promotion process.
If I wanted to recruit the troops to be my guard, all three processes were indispensable. On the afternoon of the 9th, before returning to Yujiang's house, I prepared relevant documents in the military camp. On the afternoon of the 10th, I went to find the troops and took him to go through the relevant procedures.
All procedures must be handled at the division headquarters. The current 23rd Division, which is the former First Guard Division, is located east of Bodongfang. Bodongfang is located in the northeast corner of Yuanxing City, which means that the division headquarters of the 23rd Division is located outside the urban area.
The troops belonging to the 23rd Division are also here. The barracks they stationed are called Bodong Military Camp. This barracks are specially used for temporary troops transferred from other places to Yuanxing. After the First Guard Division was taken over by the Eighth Corps, they were driven to Bodong Military Camp. They returned to the 45th Division of the Eighth Corps in the city. The 45th Division is still stationed there.
The 311th Regiment is a direct unit of the Legion. Logically, I should go to the Legion Command to complete the procedures. But the problem is that the headquarters of the new Seventh Regiment has not been established yet. The headquarters of the former Guards Regiment has been killed and completely disbanded. It cannot be directly transferred like the two Guards divisions.
Currently, the new Seventh Corps Command, like my 311th Regiment, is just an empty shell and has nothing. They now do not even have the authority to issue orders to their subordinates, let alone handle the procedures.
However, some procedures must be passed through the Legion Command, otherwise they will not take effect. Therefore, all procedures that need to be handled at the Legion Command will be transferred to the former First Guard Division, which is the current 23rd Division. The Ministry of National Defense has sent specialists there to handle relevant procedures and record them. After the Legion Command is established, the files will be transferred there.
The procedures are handled here, and the military uniforms, military rank eaves and equipment must also be collected here. As soon as we finished getting the military uniforms and military rank eaves, we couldn't wait to find a place to change our clothes.
"Brother-oh no! Commander! How is my body like?"
"Yeah, spirit!"
"Hehe, for today, I specially cut my hair!"
Because he was too excited, Gunbai's face turned red. He took out a small mirror, tidied his hair in front of his forehead with his hands, and took a closer look. His face was so beautiful. When he got the gun, he was even happier.
Gun Bai is not a guard supported by wealthy families, but a guard registered on the Ping'an. The so-called "Ping'an" is a merchant that provides temporary escorts for those families who cannot afford to support escorts. If you want to register as a guard on the Ping'an, you must not only have the ability, but also have more than three registered escorts to protect.
On the one hand, this is for the safety of the employer, and on the other hand, it is for the safety of one's own property. Generally speaking, guards registered on the Ping An cannot bring their own guns, and at most they can bring their own knives.
In today's world, generally speaking, as long as the other party takes out a gun, the person holding the knife can only be slaughtered. Therefore, as long as there are conditions, the guards must be equipped with a gun.
Since the guards cannot afford to be worthy of the gun, they can only be matched by the employer or the Peaceful No. 1. Generally speaking, families who can buy or buy can afford to be able to support the guards, and there is no need to hire the Peaceful No. 1. So generally speaking, the guards' guns are provided by the Peaceful No.
Of course, the so-called provision is not to give you guns and bullets, but to rent them to guards, and they will be returned after the mission is over. The Peaceful will use this as an excuse to draw an additional commission of 30%. If the escort fires the gun, that is, he uses bullets, and he is still alive, then he must pick up the shell and explain to the Peaceful the reason for firing the gun, preferably a witness.
If the Peaceful Unit thinks that the guard's judgment is wrong and should not fire the gun at that time, he will record the guard and impose a fine. The bullets of the Peaceful Unit, to be precise, are special marks on them. If the guard returns to fool people with other shells, they will also be recorded and fined. If the guard writes too many demerits, the Peaceful Unit will not match him with a gun.
The price of guards with guns is relatively high. The woman who hired a gun for a hundred years before was very rich, but she was very stingy and reluctant to hire a guard who had guns, so she only hired two guards without guns.
Originally, the mission was from the 21st to the 15th day of the first lunar month of the Imperial Calendar, a total of twenty-five days. After meeting me, Gunbai's confidence was frustrated. After returning, he felt that the mission was meaningless, so he transferred it to others and went home for the New Year - these words were said to me after he got the gun.
After receiving the gun, this guy talked to me. In fact, after seeing me, he thought about joining the army through me. But he didn't want to start as a new recruit. The reason he had said before was that it would make too little money to be a soldier, and promotion would take step by step. It would take at least four years to be promoted from a private to a sergeant, which was too long.
He thought this was too unprofitable, so he wanted to talk to me about the conditions. In fact, he did talk to me about the conditions. The price I offered in the end made him feel appropriate, so he made up his mind to follow me.
"Captain, we are a family, and we don't speak the two families. This time I am not authentic. It is obvious that my family wants to support me, but I don't know how to polite me. I still negotiate with you. This is really inappropriate.
If you are an outsider, I will definitely tell you that you will not remember the villain's life this time. My life will be yours in the future. I will please you and make you feel comfortable. We are a family, and we cannot speak two words, one is one, two is two, and we cannot be adulterated at all.
You have not adulterated me, and have done what you say and given me such good treatment, then I have to do what you say. Brother, from now on, I will listen to you, whatever you say is what you say. Brother, I have no ability, but I still have a way of protecting people and can also help you run errands. As long as I go to my place where it is useful, even if I ask me to block the gun for you, I will rush up! I will definitely not hesitate!"
These words were said to me solemnly after I explained the allowances and benefits of the Seventh Legion to Kuan Bai. Because they lack understanding of each other, even if he is a family member, I cannot treat him as a confidant just because of his words. Although I cannot be used as a confidant, I can still let him run errands in general matters.
After returning to the Nanqiao Military Camp, I arranged a temporary dormitory for Gun Bai to live here temporarily. He is the only guard I have now, and he is the only one who can call him. In order not to delay things, he must be on standby at the Nanqiao Military Camp all day long before I find the second guard.
After arranging the dormitory, I asked him to go home to pack his things and say hello to his family. When he saw that I was leaving, he wanted to take me home first, then go home to pack my things by himself, and come to pick me up tomorrow morning. I didn't want him to know about Zhuying and Yujiang's existence, so I said I had something to do, and I would not go home to stay tonight, nor to go back to the military camp.
Because all the procedures required to form an infantry regiment have been completed, I slept in the morning of the 11th - to be precise, I originally wanted to sleep in.
At 5:22 am on the 11th, I was woken up by Zhu Ying - the reason why I could tell the exact time was because there was a clock in the living room. When I woke up, I subconsciously glanced at the clock, and the time displayed on the dial was 5:22.
Zhu Ying beside her looked panicked and looked uncontrollable. She was holding a newspaper in her hand. After I woke up, she kept shaking me, shaking and talking.
"The gun management... is not good... is not good... is not good... something happened... something happened..."
