Li Zhi personally presided over the recruitment of new soldiers.
This time it was necessary to recruit 4,000 people. Recruiting in the prefectures and counties near Fanjiazhuang was not enough. Li Zhi asked his servants to go to other prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi and post notices, agreeing to hold the meeting from November 23rd to 26th.
After four days of physical examination and interviews, healthy young people aged 18 to 30 are recruited.
The salary given was three to two months' salary and three meals a day with meat. This kind of salary was much better than that of the Ming Dynasty's frontier troops, and it was a very attractive salary.
Sure enough, on November 23, more than 10,000 young people came to apply.
Li Zhi's requirements for soldiers are to be in good health and to be honest in their duties. They must be able to train into soldiers who dare to fight, but they must also be loyal and reliable and will not reveal the secrets of the Mini rifle.
The physical examination checks height and weight, excludes applicants with diseases, and checks whether they are night blind or color blind. After all, Li Zhi faces all kinds of enemies. If he is night blind or color blind, he may fail on a specific battlefield. This is the case for Master Huben.
For elite troops, any failed war is unbearable.
There were so many applicants that Li Zhi took more than 50 senior officers including Li Xing, Zheng Kaicheng, and Li Laosi to the battle, and each conducted interviews with the applicants who passed the physical examination. The interviewers chatted with the interviewees for an average of five minutes at the end of the day.
It can interview six to seven thousand people.
After four days of work, Li Zhi finally recruited 4,000 people.
At the interview site, the interviewer will tell the applicant whether he or she is recruited.
The people who were recruited were overjoyed, and they were all beaming with excitement. In these years of war and chaos, all industries were in depression, and it was impossible to farm properly. It was so lucky to be a soldier in Fanjiazhuang with three or two monthly income and three meals of meat.
The monthly payment of three taels is no joke. Soldiers who joined Fanjiazhuang in the past have said that it is real money and is paid promptly every month. It can support four people with food, clothing, housing and transportation. Most of the people who join the army are young people who are not married.
, if you save this monthly money for ten months, you can save thirty taels of silver, which is enough to pay a betrothal gift and marry a wife.
Although they are soldiers, the risk of Fanjiazhuang's soldiers is extremely low. Fanjiazhuang's troops are troops that can cripple the Tatars' Zhenghuang Banner. What other enemy can defeat Fanjiazhuang's troops? Even if they are really injured in the battle, they may even fight.
In the event of death, the Fanjiazhuang guerrilla generals would pay the injured or the family members of the deceased one to two or five dollars a month. Even if they died of injuries, the family would not be left without food and clothing.
In short, as long as you enter Fanjiazhuang, you will never be able to escape your lifelong well-off life.
The new recruits feel a sense of happiness as they leap over the dragon's gate.
The new recruits did not enter the camp immediately after being recruited, but had to wait until the new year was over and the barracks in the military camp were repaired before gathering at Fanjiazhuang.
After Li Zhi recruited 4,000 new soldiers, he asked his servants to hire masons from various states and counties near Tianjin to build a new barracks for 4,000 soldiers within two months. For 4,000 new soldiers, eight people per room would equal 500 barracks.
, Li Zhi invited a thousand masons from various states and counties.
The villa complex in Fanjiazhuang has been expanding, and now there are more than 300 newly built villas that are unoccupied. The masons who built the military camp can live in the villas first.

Lei San is the third eldest son in the family, and he has two older brothers.
Lei San is an honest boy. He can't even say a word when he is punched. His status in the family is very low. Lei San's father dislikes this taciturn third son very much. He feels that this son is not like him at all. On weekdays,
When eating, Lei San's father would say when he saw Lei San going to serve the rice: "Don't serve too much, the whole family still needs to eat!"
Because of his father's mantra, Lei San almost never had enough to eat.
The Lei family is very poor. The five members of the family rent 30 acres of dry land. Half of the grain is turned in every year, and they eat chaff for several months every year. Lei San is the third son with the least status in a poor tenant farmer's family. In the village
He has even less status, and no one usually pays attention to him.
But this time Lei San went to Fanjiazhuang to recruit soldiers, but he was recruited.
I don’t know how many people went to Fanjiazhuang to apply for the recruitment this time. I am afraid that only one out of ten people will be selected. Lei San was actually recruited. More than a dozen young people went to Leijiazhuang, and only Lei San was selected. Other young people in the village
They are envious of Lei San and don't understand why they, who are so smart, were not chosen, while Lei San, who is so honest and amiable, was chosen.
Lei San, a Fanjiazhuang soldier, was born in Lei San's family. His family's status in the village suddenly improved, as if he had been selected as a scholar. Lei San's father was walking around the village these days, and the neighbors took the initiative to say hello to him, which made him feel
Very face-saving.
However, saving face comes with saving face, and Lei San’s father also has to consider some practical issues.
After dinner that night, Lei San's father called all three sons over to talk important words in the yard.
Lei San's father sat on a small chair, and asked his eldest son and second son to sit on the chairs. He said to Lei San, who was standing: "Lei San, you are very lucky now. You have been recruited into Fanjiazhuang as a soldier. You will get a month's salary."
For three taels of silver a month, you still have meat for three meals, this is your blessing!" After a pause, Lei San's father said seriously: "But! You can't eat alone!"
Patting the dust on his trousers, Lei San's father said: "Your eldest brother is twenty-four years old now, and he is not married yet. He just needs money! From now on, you will have food to eat in the military camp, and you will not have any expenses on weekdays. I will give it to you."
Leave three taels of silver to make clothes, you save 20 taels of silver every month, and save 30 taels of silver for your eldest brother to get married!"
Lei San nodded and said, "Okay, Dad!"
Hearing Lei San's words, Lei San's eldest brother smiled and looked at his father gratefully.
Lei San's father said again: "And your second brother, you can't spend the money randomly, but you must also save thirty taels of silver for him to get married!"
Lei San thought for a while and said, "Okay!"
Seeing that Lei San agreed, Lei San's second brother also laughed and stretched out his hands and feet proudly.
Lei San's father smiled, nodded and said, "Lei San, I didn't support you in vain!" After a pause, he said again: "When your second brother gets married, you will give me eight taels of silver every month.
Your eldest brother, give eight cents to your second brother, eight cents to me, and keep six cents for yourself. You are single, six cents is enough!"
When Lei San heard this, he was silent for a long time without speaking.
Lei San's father rolled his eyes and said, "Lei San, why don't you agree? Six dollars is not enough?"
After being hired by Fanjiazhuang, Lei San felt much more confident. In the past, Lei San felt that he was a superfluous person in this world, eating an extra mouthful of food. When his family or outsiders bullied him, Lei San did not dare to resist. However,
It's different now. Fan Jiazhuang gave him three to two months to hire himself. Lei San felt that he was a needed person and a decent person. He had the confidence to resist the bullying of others.
Lei San decided to resist his father's predatory arrangements.
Lei San said firmly: "After my second brother gets married, I can't take out any more money!"
Lei San's father rolled his eyes and cursed loudly: "Lei San, are you going to rebel? I have raised you for eighteen years in vain? If you are not prepared to take out the money, get out of my house now!"
Lei San puffed up his chest and said, "It's easy to let me get out. Fanjiazhuang can report it in advance. But in that case, I won't save any money for the marriage of the eldest brother and the second brother."
Lei San's father was so angry that his face turned red and he wanted to have a fit, but he couldn't speak.
Lei San's two brothers looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. They didn't expect that Lei San, who couldn't hold back a word for a long time, would actually resist his father's arrangement.
Lei San looked at his angry and shocked father, and said: "From now on, I will be a soldier of Fanjiazhuang. I will no longer be the unnecessary third son of the Lei family, and I will no longer be the idiot who shouldn't have enough to eat. I will give the eldest brother, the second son
The money I save is for me to support my family. Don’t think it’s because I’m stupid or easy to bully!”
After saying this, Lei San walked into the house and went to sleep.
