The bell rang for the gathering in the mining area.
The prisoners around were surprised to put down the tools in their hands. Why did the bell ring before it was time to eat?
However, the mining area implements militarized management, and prisoners who do not obey the management will suffer terrible consequences. It has become their conditioned reflex to obey orders and follow instructions, so they quickly gathered and lined up one by one, waiting for the mining area officer to issue the order.
Wan Lang stood on a high platform, holding an iron trumpet and loudly said: "The Xianbei people are going to attack Mayi. Now is your chance to make a contribution. As long as you join the army to attack the Xianbei people, you will not only be exempted from the punishment for the next two years, but also get peace with Mayi."
You get the same treatment as soldiers, with a monthly salary of 600 yuan, doubled during wartime. Even if you die in battle, you will receive pensions. If you are disabled, Ma Yi will help you arrange jobs and help you provide for you in old age. In short, you will not be left without food. Now those who want to join the army can queue up to register.
.”
Everyone had known for a long time that the Xianbei people were going to attack Mayi, but they didn't expect that Lei Guild would recruit them as soldiers.
Because they were stationed in a camp, they also knew how soldiers in Mayi were treated. Their clothes were beautiful without any patches, and it was said that there were several sets that could be replaced. Their food was basically meat once every three days, which made them salivate. Every month
There is also a monthly salary of 600 yuan, which is higher than that of the Han army. If they can become soldiers in Mayi, it will be regarded as a lifetime of virtue.
Normally, they wouldn't even think about signing up to join the army right away, but now they thought that the Xianbei people were about to attack with hundreds of thousands of cavalry. For a moment, they were uneasy. They wanted to escape from the mining area and join the army, but they were also worried that Lei Gong would use them as cannon fodder and die at the hands of the Xianbei people.
At this time, Huo Shaoyun was the first to step forward and said loudly: "We have nothing to lose if we die. Lei Gong Qushuai's army is not only strong and well-equipped, but Lei Gongqushuai can also use thunder magic to fight against those stinky fish under his command."
"Xia, how can you be the opponent of Lei Gongqushuai? The treatment of Mayi soldiers is twice as good as that of Han army. Why not join in such a good thing? I, Huo Shaoyun, will be the first to join the army."
After saying that, Huo Shaoyun was the first to register his name.
Wan Lang said loudly: "Song Yi, from Youzhou Youzhou Beiping County, you will be a soldier in Mayi from now on. Because there is a war soon, the monthly salary will be calculated as double. This 1,200 money is the monthly salary."
The prisoner, who was originally upset, was instantly shocked when he saw the money in Huo Shaoyun's hand.
If you really take out the money, it doesn't matter if you work for Lei Gong. The horse bandit's knife licks blood. As long as the money is enough, the business will be worth it.
Not to mention that what Huo Shaoyun said was reasonable. Lei Gong Qushuai was good at thunder. They had seen this with their own eyes on the battlefield, and they were not just fooling people.
He Lian and the others also knew that although he was the Great Khan of the Xianbei people, he was a greedy, lustful, despicable and shameless villain with no ability at all. If his father hadn't been Tan Shihuai, he would never have become the Great Khan of the Xianbei people.
Thinking about it this way, how could a Khan, a Xianbei man with no ability, be a match for such a hero who was both civil and military and knew magic.
Everyone thought about this, and then looked at Huo Shaoyun with admiration. He was indeed the famous Huo Shaoyun in Northern Xinjiang. It turned out that he had long seen that He Lian could not be the opponent of Lei Gong Qushuai, so he actively joined the Tengjia Army.
Where is this to go to die?
Jane is walking up a ladder to the sky!
"I also want to join the army!" Lone Wolf also raised his hand and came to the front to write his name.
"Liu Hu, people from Hexi County, please take your monthly salary!"
After saying this, Wan Lang threw a big string and two small strings to him.
Seeing that the two leaders, Huo Shaoyun and Lone Wolf, had joined the Tengjia Army, the prisoners below could no longer bear it.
"I want to join the army too!"
"I also want to fight the Xianbei people. I have a bloody feud with the Xianbei people."
One by one, they rushed to the registration desk.
Wan Lang shouted loudly: "Line up to register one by one, line up to register, don't make a mess!"
After hearing Wan Lang's words, the prisoners instinctively began to line up.
Dozens of long queues immediately appeared in the mine. Most of Wan Lang's men knew thousands of characters, and ordinary registration could be done, so he arranged for his men to register the information of these prisoners one by one.
The registration was completed in the evening. For the sake of money, the 30,000 prisoners saw that Lei Gong was indeed much stronger than Helian. Everyone was willing to risk their lives. Only a few hundred people were worried about the strength of the Xianbei people and continued to stay in the mining area.
.
But this already made Wan Lang happy. Thirty thousand more people joined the army, which was a huge achievement.
Then he went to Wang Ge with the registration book. Wang Ge saw that most of the horse thieves were willing to join the army, and he was overjoyed and said: "You have done well. I will propose to Commander Qu that you be promoted to the rank of Army Sima. You must continue to perform well in the future and strive for success."
Become a captain as soon as possible."
Becoming a captain means you are a high-ranking member of the Tengjia Army and can hold high-level meetings. Obviously Wang Ge has high hopes for Wan Lang.
Wan Lang was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "My subordinates will definitely not disappoint the Chief of Staff and Commander Qu."
In the evening, Wan Lang asked people to buy wine and food to entertain Huo Shaoyun and Lone Wolf.
He poured a bowl of wine for Huo Shaoyun and Lone Wolf respectively and said: "Thank you both very much this time. The superiors think that I have contributed a lot and plan to promote me to be the commander of this army. I am not someone who burns bridges by crossing rivers. After my appointment,
I just want you two to come over. I can’t guarantee anything else. I can still let you do it with one team."
Huo Shaoyun and Lone Wolf were naturally happy to have someone supporting them, but Huo Shaoyun asked, "Has Wan Sima been assigned to the cavalry?"
Wan Lang shook his head regretfully and said: "I have never learned riding skills before. I only learned a little riding here in Mayi, but I am not very proficient in it, so I should lead the infantry."
Huo Shaoyun said regretfully: "Wan Sima and our two brothers are proficient in horsemanship and combat. Even if we follow you, we can't bring much help to Wan Sima. If Wan Sima really wants to help our brothers, he should find a way to let us go."
Among the most elite cavalry, our brothers have led hundreds of cavalry and are more familiar with cavalry tactics."
Wan Lang said regretfully: "I have a dead brother who is also in the cavalry camp. I will let him choose you as his subordinates and take care of you!"
Huo Shaoyun and the others were more familiar with cavalry tactics. Obviously, their future would be brighter if they went to the cavalry camp, and he would not be able to stop others' futures.
Huo Shaoyun and Lone Wolf said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Wan Sima. If our brothers are needed in the future, our brothers will definitely repay you."
Wan Lang said regretfully: "Today's meal should be put into practice for you!"
People like Huo Shaoyun and Lone Wolf commanded more people than him. If they could become his subordinates, they would be of great help to him. Unfortunately, he was not good at riding, so he had to give up on these two people.
A few days later, when the new batch of recruits were distributed, Huo Shaoyun and Lone Wolf were indeed assigned to the cavalry.
Moreover, there was a cavalry commander named Song Zhi who took great care of them because the two of them had excellent riding skills, strong tactical understanding, and some commanding skills. In the cavalry battalion that lacked grassroots officers, they were quickly promoted to
Very long.
With the addition of 10,000 horse thieves, the entire Tengjia Army has 30,000 cavalry, which is a very powerful force.
Xu Wei and other senior officials of the Tengjia Army conducted several simulations on the sand table. Without these 30,000 cavalry, the battle situation would be very passive. The Xianbei people could come and go freely. At most, they could only kill the Xianbei people, but they would not cause much damage.
And if they are not careful, they may be wiped out.
With the addition of these 30,000 cavalry, they can defend and counterattack, turning passivity into initiative. If the battle goes well, more than half of the Xianbei people can be left behind. And if they can achieve such a record, the barbarians on the grassland will never dare to attack again.
Take a peek at the wealth of Mayi.
Throwing out one punch to avoid receiving hundreds of punches is what Xu Wei needs. The farming style is afraid of such endless harassment.
Of course, Huo Shaoyun and the others are still new recruits, and they still need to undergo formation training. Coordinating tactics with the cavalry also requires a lot of training.
Time is tight and the mission is urgent. Huo Shaoyun and Lone Wolf are the new recruits who receive the most training, and are trained to death every day.
But few people thought it was not worth it. On the first day they arrived at the military camp, they were given several sets of clothes, including seasonal clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter, as well as training clothes and expensive sweaters.
When receiving these clothes, many people cried with excitement, because this is the first time many people have worn new clothes in their lives, and there are so many new clothes. The clothes on hand are enough for everyone to work hard for.
Moreover, they basically have meat every day during training. In the Han Dynasty, only the descendants of noble families can enjoy this kind of food.
Lei Gong's treatment caused the recruits to talk about it. The legendary four young masters of the Warring States Period were just like this. They were trained as disciples.
This was the first time that someone valued them so much, and the recruits felt grateful to Xu Wei. In this era, the scholarly ethos was still very strong, and every favor was paid with a thousand pieces of gold, not to mention that Xu Wei treated them as a national scholar.
So it didn't matter if they trained harder. None of the recruits complained. Instead, they trained harder to repay Xu Wei.
Of course, these are things that Xu Wei doesn't know, because his standards for treating soldiers are completely copied from his treatment in the army. Of course, there are some things that he really can't do, and he can only lower them a little at most.
Of course, he didn't know that the treatment he gave to the Tengjia Army was far beyond that of any soldier in this era.
Of course, these benefits are all worth it. The level of the new recruits' military formation has improved rapidly, and their tactical cooperation with the veterans has become more and more tacit.
After Xu Wei observed the training of these recruits, he said that he was lucky. Because the mining area has always been under military management, these recruits adapted very quickly, almost seamlessly.
But he didn't know that the Tengjia Army's exaggerated welfare benefits were the root cause of all this. These recruits had been living at the bottom of the world, and Xu Wei gave them a little better treatment, which made them extremely grateful.
Each and every one of them wished they could give up their lives to retaliate.
Judging from what Xu Wei observed, the morale of these recruits was very high. In his imagination, retreating without a fight should not happen.
