Not long after, out of the 130-strong company of chasseurs, more than 20 were unwilling to train and came out one after another.
Scar said to the remaining people with more than a hundred points: "Okay, the rest are willing to train and carry guns for the adults. Then we will continue to work hard. After today's training, we will have an extra meal, including meat and wine!
"
"Invite the girls from Yiqingyuan in town to come over!"
"Don't worry, everyone doesn't have to pay for it, it's your treat!"
When Scar mentioned the treat, everyone laughed.
The twenty or so people who were unwilling to be trained all looked weird, and one person even shouted: "Why don't we have a share?"
At this time, Scar turned back to look at those people, and then said: "From now on, you are no longer our people, so naturally you have no share!"
Then he waved his hand: "Tie them all up!"
Suddenly, the thirty or so armed guards behind him quickly stepped forward!
When those people saw it, they immediately panicked. Some people muttered: "Scar, what do you want to do?"
"do not come!"
"Get out of here, what do you want?"
"let me go!"
The soldiers of the Guard are all from the patrol camp and have no friendship with these old bandits. Moreover, the training they have received during this time is actually very simple. Apart from basic tactical actions such as loading and shooting, the rest is all about lining up.
, all kinds of orders were obeyed.
So they didn't have any scruples about these old bandits, they just stepped forward and tied up everyone.
The old bandits were shouting, but they didn't dare to resist. The soldiers of the guard all had muskets and bayonets on them. If they dared to resist, they would immediately come over with bayonets.
After everyone was tied up, Scar came over and said, "You think we are just playing house. We can come and go as we please. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Since you are not willing to give
Sir, I will have to send you all to the construction team!"
Why send it to the construction team? Of course it's building walls, digging ditches and the like.
There were more than a dozen of Wang Jinquan's men before, but because they were unwilling to join Lin Ziran and the others, they were thrown to the construction team.
And these people will join them.
After all, these people knew that Lin Ziran and the others were petty, and if they were allowed to talk nonsense, they would bring trouble to Lin Ziran and the others.
As for killing them all, the impact will not be good. Moreover, there is an urgent shortage of labor in the oil fields, and it is expensive to hire people. It is better to just use these people as coolies.
After these shouting bandit soldiers were sent to the construction team to work as coolies, the remaining members of the Jaeger company became much more honest.
Although the subsequent formation training was still noisy, at least no one was deliberately causing trouble.
Although it looks chaotic, this is just because they have not been trained. They don't know how to line up at all, and many people can't even distinguish between left and right. The soldiers in the previous patrol camp were almost like this.
But after training for a period of time, the situation should improve a lot.
Lin Ziran was naturally aware of Scar's actions in the Jaeger Company, and he even tacitly approved or even hinted at them.
Otherwise, Scar wouldn't be able to do this.
After initially solving the problem of the hunter company, Lin Ziran also directly incorporated the hunter company into the patrol camp. In this way, including the first company that has been trained, the second company that is still being trained, and the second company that is still being trained,
In the third company, Lin Ziran had four infantry companies under his command.
It's just that there seem to be a lot of people, but how much fighting power they have is unknown.
Anyway, except for the first company, which is relatively regular, the two muskete companies and the chasseur company are all new recruits who can't even form a formation.
The second and third companies didn't even have muskets yet, so they could only conduct formation training with a wooden stick, and take turns to practice loading with a small number of muskets.
If he was dragged out into a fight, he would probably collapse on his own halfway.
But even so, Lin Ziran was quite satisfied.
The efforts of the past few months have finally paid off. Regardless of the combat effectiveness, there are still six to seven hundred people under his command.
The only trouble is lack of money.
Although the production of kerosene has increased and kerosene is sold through Qingshan Trading Company, the money earned from selling kerosene is often all spent before Lin Ziran even sees it.
This money will be used to purchase equipment, the refinery will need to expand production, and the oil field will also need to expand production. Expanding production requires equipment, and these equipment are not cheap and can easily cost hundreds or even thousands.
There are even some that are not available in the county or prefecture, and they have to go to other places or even to the prefecture to purchase them.
Having the equipment is not enough, you also need someone to operate the equipment.
These are all technical personnel. Qingshan Town is a small place and most of the people who can be found have been found, but the gap is still huge.
In this regard, the only option is to ask Qingshan Commercial Bank to hire people elsewhere.
Hiring technical personnel is quite expensive. If you want people to come to work in Qingshan Town, a remote and remote area, not only will they be given a higher salary, but you will also have to pay a settlement fee before they are willing to come and work.
It costs money to expand the production of oil fields and refineries, and it also costs a certain amount of money to expand and establish sales channels for Qingshan Commercial Bank.
Kerosene had just begun to be sold in large quantities, and most of the money generated was used to purchase equipment and hire technical personnel.
In the end, Lin Ziran had no money to pay for the ordnance from Hongxiang Trading Company.
On December 10th, Lin Ziran saw Zhou Li again.
In fact, Lin Ziran didn't want to see him. Yesterday, this man came to Qingshan Town and asked to see him, but Lin Ziran made an excuse to be away, so he didn't see him.
But Lin Ziran had to go away today.
Because this guy has already told Luo Mazi that if the payment is not made, they will take back the ordnance that has been brought to Qingshan Town.
The transaction between the two parties was originally to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. However, in recent days, Lin Ziran was left empty-handed and could not make up the nearly 5,000 constant yuan for this batch of goods.
All we can do is put it off again and again!
But even though he had no money in his pocket, Lin Ziran still saw him. He couldn't let Zhou Lizhen take the goods back.
As soon as Lin Ziran came out, Zhou Li hurriedly stepped forward: "Master Lin, I have finally met you!"
Zhou Li continued: "Let me tell you, Mr. Lin, we have made an agreement to pay cash on delivery, with one hand paying and one hand delivering the goods. We have already delivered the goods to Qingshan Town, but the money..."
Lin Ziran looked calm and took a sip of tea: "Manager Zhou, you should also know that our guard just died recently and the new guard hasn't arrived yet, so something went wrong..."
"Don't worry, I'm raising money these days, so you won't be left behind!"
Zhou Lidao: "Sir, this caravan is outside and the daily expenses are quite large. Our small business cannot afford to delay this for a few more days!"
Lin Ziran was speechless when he heard this!
Whoever asked you to transport ordnance would create an armed caravan of more than 200 people...
With more than two hundred fully armed guards, how can the cost be so low?
If Zhou Li knew Lin Ziran's thoughts, he would definitely have a look of contempt on his face: If I hadn't come with more than 200 armed guards, you would have swallowed this batch of ordnance long ago!
Not to mention, Lin Ziran had actually considered this idea.
Just seeing their more than 200 armed guards gave up the idea.
If he really does it, the half-baked recruits under him probably won't be able to do it!
