Chapter 35 Recruiting Soldiers 3
Liu Xia led a group of generals and walked up to the platform. The high platform was guarded by soldiers. No exile was allowed to enter within two feet. After all, the high platform was full of senior generals in the army. If one or two generals were assassinated at this time, although Liu Xia did not die, the army would not collapse. It's broken, but there will still be some trouble.
However, it is also necessary for Liu Xia to be on this stage, because Liu Xia wants to talk about it in person and let the aspiring and capable people in it enter his own army.
In addition to the guards and special brigades around the high platform, the soldiers of the Huben Battalion are scattered outside to patrol the exiles around them to prevent dangerous people from appearing in these exiles.
The sky is a little gloomy and the wind is blowing, bringing coolness to the slightly humid weather.
Liu Xia is wearing bright iron armor. Behind him stood Wang Shitou, the captain of the personal guard, Yu Mingjun, the captain of the special brigade, Liu Dazhuang, the commander of the Hu Ben battalion, Zhang Liang, the commander of the new battalion, Niu Chao, the deputy battalion commander, Wang En, the commander of the logistics battalion, Chen Liu, the deputy commander of the logistics battalion, and some middle and low-level generals.
Like Liu Xia, they all wear shiny iron armor, which are part of the more than 200 iron armors seized in Zhaojiabao at that time. As for the other soldiers, they are still tattered clothes.
Those people have eaten rice, and some people are full, with a happy smile in their mouths. They patted their stomachs and looked up at Liu Xia, with their eyes full of gratitude.
There are also some exiles who are a little tall. Although they have become yellow and thin, skin and bones because of hunger, the amount of food is still there. Of course, this bowl of rice is not enough to eat, but this is the best and most meal they have eaten these days. They are also very grateful to Liu Xia.
They all know that the person standing on the high platform now, in bright iron armor in the front, is the general who gave them food, Liu Xia.
They looked at Liu Xia curiously and wanted to know what Liu Xia wanted to do. They were all like this. What else did Liu Xia say? I don't have money to pay.
Do you want to send food? That's great. Some of the exiles are thinking happily.
Liu Xia faced the cool breeze and looked at the thousands of exiles in front of her with expressionless eyes. These clothes were very tattered, and even some were not covered, their faces were yellow and thin, and some were even like bones. In their eyes, because of Liu Xia's meal, they showed luster again.
Liu Xia waved her arms and motioned to silence the exiles at the scene. The exiles were also curious about what Liu Xia wanted to say, so when they saw what Liu Xia seemed to say, the gradually noisy voice began to disappear.
Liu Xia saw that the scene was quiet and said loudly, "I am the supreme general of this army. My name is Liu Xia!" It's the Han general, the general who fought out of Yangzhou City!
I don't know what you used to do, and I don't know if you have heard about Yangzhou City. I know that the land where we are now is now ruled by barbarians from the north, but they have not completely managed it so that there are people and bandits everywhere.
You have nothing to eat, run away from home, and in the end you don't even know that you are going to die in the end. We are all Han people. I should help you, but you can also see that this is impossible.
Don't make noise. First of all, I don't have so much food and no territory for you to live in. It's impossible to raise you. I can only say sorry to you for this.
Looking at the reaction of these exiles, there was anger, numbness and hope, but none of them dared to make trouble, because many soldiers with weapons around them were staring at them.
Even if there are thousands of people, they are all rabbles. How much combat effectiveness can people who have been hungry for so many days have?
Liu Xia took a look at everything, paused and said, "However, if some of you are willing to join the general's army, drive out the harrate and restore our big man, then you are my people. Although I dare not guarantee that you will have big fish and meat at every meal, it is still good to let you eat. So.
If some of you are willing to join the army, there will be special people here to recruit after they finish speaking, and you can sign up here.
The most basic requirement for our army to recruit new soldiers is that the minimum is not less than 18 and the maximum is not more than 40. I know that many of you will be expelled in this way, but I will promise that whether you want to join the army or not, I will give each of you a bucket of rice to leave.
For those who leave, I will also prepare special people to distribute food in one place to get you out of here.
After Liu Xia finished speaking, the exiles below exploded and began to talk about it one after another. These days, there are people who give food to eat. If they don't follow it, they will miss the opportunity. Although the general promised to give everyone a bucket of rice, it's just a bucket of rice. They can't eat for many days. When they finish the rice, they will be hungry. Maybe Later, you will starve to death, and follow the general, and you don't have to worry about hunger in the future.
Although they also heard that the army is very dark, some troops do not pay food all year round, but at least they are given a meal, which is good. They just want to live.
To live, yes, to live. They just want to live. As long as they have a mouthful of food, they are willing to do anything.
After Liu Xia finished speaking, she left. Then several guards brought several tables from Zhuojiabao, put them on the high table, and put three more chairs. These three chairs were the seats of Yu Mingjun, Wang Shitou and Chen Liu.
The originally assigned task said that Wang Shitou and Yu Mingjun recruited new soldiers, but Wang Shitou invited Chen Liu over.
Yu Mingjun knows the art of war and can write, but he is not a professional writer, so he doesn't write well. Moreover, he has been more used to the knife in the army for so long, rather than the pen, so the pen is a little strange to him.
And Wang Shishi is a big man. He knows a few words, but he doesn't know much. I had no choice but to find Chen Liu, who was born as a scholar, and let Chen Liu help them write down their names.
The pen and paper inkstone are all taken from Zhuojiabao. There is nothing missing. The things in Zhuojiabao are very complete.
Because I heard that the master in Zhuojiabao was born as a man and has never been admitted to Jinshi, he was discouraged and unwilling to wait for the scarce appointment of the Ministry of Li. He returned to his hometown, became a squire, annexed the land, bullied the people, and robbed his wives and daughters. Make.
Although he has done a lot of evil things, as a reader, he still likes to write and read books, so the most in his family is this ink and paper inkstone.
After Liu Xia left, some other generals also left, including the chief and deputy battalion commanders of the new barracks also left this place. The Guards also left here because of Liu Xia. There were only special forces left on the periphery, and the Hu Ben Battalion also returned to their respective camps.
Although there are only more than 90 special forces, they are all elites, and these people can fully maintain these exiles.
On the other side is the people of the logistics battalion. The logistics battalion is now in charge of their battalion commander Wang En. Chen Liu, the deputy battalion commander, ran to Wang Stone to help Wang Stone, so only Wang En, can complete this matter in their logistics battalion.
Wang En is surrounded by soldiers from the logistics battalion. Wang En does not have soldiers on his side, because Wang En is not worried about the riots and movements of the exiles, and the soldiers of his own logistics battalion can maintain it.
There are a lot of people who want to follow Liu Xia. Of course, there are also people who don't want to follow Liu Xia.
After Liu Xia just finished talking, Wang Stone and Wang En received new recruits, and the other distributed food that was unwilling to be recruits. People began to gather on both sides, but there were still more people on Wang En's side.
Most of the people on Wang En's side are women and children. It is impossible to join the army at all. Of course, it is not only this kind of people. There are also some young people who don't want to take risks and just want to eat, drink and play. Since Liu Xia gives them food for free, what are they doing with Liu Xia?
They have to fight with Liu Xia, and they can be very casual.
............
"Don't mess up, come one by one, this is your bucket of rice, that's good"
The soldiers in the logistics team distributed bags of cloth bags of rice to the people in line.
Under the guard of the soldiers of the logistics battalion, no one dares to get more and rob them. Those people are happy to send themselves a bag of rice. Although they know that this bucket of rice can't be eaten for a long time, they have no way to live day by day. As for what will happen in the future, it will be in the future. Let's live a good now.
Compared with the situation in the logistics camp, Wang Shitou is also very lively.
According to Liu Xia's regulations, don't drag your family or care about them. Basically, you only need one bachelor, so when they ascend the throne, they will ask who are around them, and then write it down.
Finally, let them go and wait first. When who is selected to enter the new barracks, inform them that those who have not entered the new barracks go to the logistics camp to get a bucket of food and leave.
"My name is Erniu, and I have a younger sister. There is no one else around me."
"Okay, you go there and wait first. If you are selected, we will have someone call you."
......
"My name is Wang Er. I'm alone and I don't have any relatives."
......
"Next"
"My name is Zhang Wa, and I have a father over there"
......
"Next"
"My name is Dog Egg, and I have another mother..."
............
There are 700 or 800 exiles who want to join the army, but according to Liu Xia, there are only more than 400 people who ask for it alone, and they have not yet looked at their specific physical condition. I don't know how many more people will be eliminated at that time.
At the third quarter of the time of the application, the selection of those who have no family has basically been completed. Chen Liu took the list of those who were selected and came to the group to participate in the recruitment. Now the people who are sitting on the ground shouted, "Those who have passed our test, Wang Er..."
Those people all pricked up their ears and listened carefully. I'm afraid that their names have passed.
After reading the names of those people, Chen Liu continued: "Those who have not been selected, you can get two buckets of food, one more than those people. The selected person will follow me at this time."
