The black-helmeted general sneered, and said in a deep voice: "You haven't even joined our Great Zhou Army yet, and you've already learned how to jump in line. If you join our Great Zhou Army, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of our Great Zhou Army!"
After saying that, he turned around and shouted: "Come here, drag these scoundrels out and give them twenty whips before driving them out. Also, write down their names and never hire them again!"
"yes!"
More than a dozen sergeants immediately came out from the side. They strode up to the refugees, grabbed them like wolves and dragged them to the side. Soon, the sound of whips and screams could be heard nearby.
After dealing with these homeless bullies, the general turned his attention to Pierdan. "What's your name? Where are you from? Why do you want to come here to serve as a soldier?"
A series of questions made Pi Erdan a little dizzy. Pi Erdan was stunned for a while before replying: "Jun Ye Qi, my name is Pi Erdan. I am from Xuan County, Hubei Province. Because I heard that
After joining the Great Zhou Army, I can have enough food and clothing, and no longer have to go hungry, so I came all the way from Xuan County to Wuchang to serve as a soldier."
After listening to Pi Erdan's words, the refugees next to him also showed approval in their eyes. For thousands of years, Confucianism has penetrated into every corner of society. The words "A good man should not be a soldier, a good man should not be a nail" was also deeply imprinted on his mind.
In their minds, after all, the Zhou army had just occupied Hubei, and the foundation of its rule was still relatively weak. The people here were not as supportive of Pang Gang as the civilians in Shandong. If they couldn't survive, who would be willing to come and eat this bowl of beheaded rice?
ah.
Therefore, the general was not angry after hearing this. Instead, he laughed. He nodded approvingly and said to Pierdan: "I just saw that you are not afraid of more than a dozen scoundrels and you are quite courageous.
I would like to ask you now, are you willing to follow me and become my personal soldier?"
"Soldiers?"
The refugees next to me all showed envy. Being a general's personal soldier was a great job. Not only was the risk greatly reduced, but the treatment was naturally first-class.
"I don't want to!" Pierdan shook his head like a rattle. "Young man wants to be a cavalry and ride into battle on a tall horse to kill the enemy. That's what a man should do. He can sit behind an official all day long and be a bastard."
What’s the point of nursing home?”
"Be bold!"
As soon as Pierdan's words came out, the soldiers around the general were all furious. This kid's words were really damaging, and he reduced them all to nothing with just one sentence.
"Ha ha ha ha.........."
A loud laugh rang out from the side, and a middle-aged official who was about forty years old, with a long beard under his chin and a somewhat thin face, walked over from a short distance away. This general was wearing a scarlet suit.
The official robe has a white peacock painted on the patch.
Although Pierdan couldn't understand the rank of this official, he saw that including the majestic general just now saluting that official, he knew that this official must be a high-ranking official, so he spontaneously
Kneel down and salute the official.
I saw this official teasing the general just now: "General Black, it seems that being your personal soldier is really not very good. He can't even look down on a new egg character who has not yet become a soldier."
This general was none other than Heitie. Although he was rejected by Pi Erdan, to this day, with his reputation as a guerrilla general, he would not lose his temper with Pi Erdan. He just smiled bitterly and said: "Governor Hua, even you
Making fun of the general. Since this little brother doesn’t want to, the general can’t force it, so let’s just let it happen.”
Seeing how generous this general was, Pierdan felt a little embarrassed. He felt that a dignified general thought so highly of him, but he refused the other's kindness. He felt a little embarrassed and said to him embarrassedly.
Kurogie said: "This general is not a villain who doesn't know how to praise. He is a villain..."
"Okay, you don't need to say it." Heitie interrupted Pierdan. "To be honest, this was going to happen five years ago. I had to give you a good look since you let me down like this. But a few years ago, Hei Tie
Someone was beaten up by the prince for this reason. From then on, I understood one thing. It turns out that the most valuable thing in this world is face, and the least valuable thing is also this thing. The only difference lies in what others give.
I won’t give you this face. Haha, since you have such a big ambition, I’m stopping you, so go ahead and sign up!”
After saying that, Kurogie waved his hand, and the soldiers next to him began to drive away the people, and the refugees began to line up in an orderly manner and prepare to sign up.
At this time, Hua Yan looked at Hei Tie and said with a smile: "General Hei Tie, okay, I didn't expect you to have such an understanding. This makes me very impressed."
Kurogie couldn't help but laugh, "The realization of fart was achieved by the prince's fists."
Hei Tie did not hide from anyone the fact that he was beaten up by Pang Gang for stealing military honors in his early years. Instead, he told it from time to time to show off to everyone to show his unusual relationship with Pang Gang.
Hua Yan also knew this very well. He just smiled and said: "General Hei, as of today, our recruitment task of new recruits has almost been completed. What is left is the training of new recruits. The prince only gave
We have four months and we will officially form an army in four months. I wonder if you have any ideas?"
When it came to business, Kurogane also became serious. He said coldly: "There is only one way to lead these refugees to become elite soldiers as soon as possible, and that is to let them see blood."
"Seeing blood?" Hua Yan couldn't help but frowned, "You mean to let them participate in actual combat, I'm afraid this is not appropriate!"
"Why not?" Heitie said nonchalantly: "What we soldiers eat is this bowl of rice. If we don't even dare to kill the enemy, we can't be soldiers. We should just go home and have our children as soon as possible! I remember when the prince first became a soldier.
At that time, the new recruits were trained for two months and then sent out to suppress bandits. I guarantee that if they see blood once, all of them will become pure masters!"
"this........"
Hua Yan asked hesitantly: "General Hei, do you want the new soldiers to go out to suppress bandits?"
"Haha, Mr. Hua really loves to joke." Heitie laughed: "How can we still have banditry in Hubei now? All the banditry has followed the bandits to Shaanxi. If we want to train our troops, we can only go to Xuan County and the surrounding area.
Experienced."
"Xuan County?" Hua Yan was suddenly startled and asked worriedly: "Are you saying you want to fight the intruder? Aren't you afraid of causing the intruder's backlash?"
"Rebound?" Heitie sneered: "If we don't fight against the intruders, won't they come to fight us? We have lost hundreds of brothers these days. If it weren't for our small number of soldiers, I would have fought them long ago.
Damn it, how could they be allowed to be so arrogant!"
Huayan was silent. The Zhou Dynasty occupied more and more places, but their military strength could not keep up. On the surface, they had an army of 100,000, but it seemed very pitiful to spread it to five provinces.
Hubei's total military strength is only two battalions with 10,000 troops. It has to guard against Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan and Li Zicheng in Shaanxi, as well as the Ming army in Anhui. To describe it as being insufficient to make ends meet is quite polite, and Heitie has long been opposed to this.
Da, he asked Pang Gang several times to send more troops, but they were all rejected. Now seeing that Pang Gang has expanded his army again, how can he be unhappy?
Looking at the refugees standing aside and waiting after passing the examination, with expressions on their faces that were happy but also filled with fear and worry about the future, Hua Yan sighed and said, "In prosperity, the people are suffering; in death, the people are suffering!"
"
While Pang Gang was busy expanding his army and preparing for war, Li Zicheng was not idle. With the help of Li Yan, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others, he was also actively training his army of more than 100,000. Originally led by Liu Fangliang,
Zuoying's tens of thousands of troops had been wiped out by the Zhou army in Hubei. He rebuilt it again and appointed Li Dingguo as General Quan of Zuoying, responsible for commanding everything in Zuoying.
Today, Li Zicheng was a little uncharacteristic. Early in the morning, he led Li Yan, Li Guo, Li Dingguo and other generals to ten miles west of Xi'an City, as if waiting to greet someone.
But it wasn't until noon, when everyone's stomachs were growling with hunger, that a billowing plume of dust and smoke appeared in front of them.
"Coming...Coming, King Chuang, Commander Liu and the others are here."
Li Zicheng's adopted son Li Shuangxi pointed to the dusty smoke ahead and shouted happily. At this moment, he was dancing with excitement.
Li Zicheng, who was in a very happy mood, smiled and patted Li Shuangxi heavily on the shoulder and said, "Okay, even a blind man can see such huge smoke and dust, so I don't need you to speak."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.
Niu Jinxing and others all knew the reason why Li Zicheng was in a happy mood. Liu Zongmin brought a large amount of gold and silver treasures looted from Hunan and 50,000 shi of grain and grass on this trip. These things were a huge sum of money for the barren Shaanxi Province.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a timely blessing for the Chuang Army, which has been spending a lot of money in recent times.
Soon, the team in front arrived in front of Li Zicheng and others. The person in front was wearing a gorgeous armor. The polished armor could make people's eyes dizzy in the sun. Liu Zongmin jumped down.
The horse ran over and hugged Li Zicheng who came up to meet him.
"King Chuang, brother, I'm back."
"Okay, just come back." Li Zicheng nodded happily. He took Liu Zongmin and took a closer look before he smiled: "Very good, I don't have much stuff on me."
Liu Zongmin chuckled and said: "King Chuang, what are you talking about? With my ability like Old Liu, how can those trash in the imperial court defeat me? I just came to their land and robbed their food, money and
Women, if we come back in such a big way, what will they do to us?"
"Okay, Mr. Liu is powerful!"
"That's right, with Commander Liu's ability, there is no place in the world that he can't go to!"
Several generals nearby heard Liu Zongmin's arrogant words and lost no time in flattering him. (To be continued!~!
