If these awesome troops can't get in, then choose the cavalry. After all, everyone wants to be an elite.
If you can't choose cavalry, then you will be artillery. The Yanyun Army's artillery is really awesome. The reason why we were defeated was because of their artillery!
Next are the musketeers, archers, and finally the infantry, but the infantry of the Yanyun Army is not that easy to advance. Various test projects have confused the brothers of the Langya Army. Why are you so picky about recruitment?
What do you think about an infantryman?
Think of yourself as a Cavalry Guard!
It is also required that children must be literate...
If I were literate, I could still be a soldier. Wouldn't it be better to take the No. 1 exam?
But this is a hard condition. If you are illiterate, they will not accept you, no matter what you say.
Fortunately, you guys have other options. For example, I feel that the transportation team should be quite fat, and there is no requirement to be literate. You can just go there. As long as you can drive and serve mules and horses, it will be fine. If you can be a veterinarian, you can be directly first class. Treatment of sergeants.
The civil engineering battalion feels very rustic, but it can be regarded as a technical unit. They want those who are good at carpentry and blacksmithing. Those who are skilled in craftsmanship are also first-class sergeants. There are even a few with particularly good craftsmanship who were directly appointed as squad leaders by Sun Changshan on the spot.
Basically all the 30,000 people have been absorbed, and the remaining 2,000 are not die-hards, but those who have been eliminated...
Just over two thousand people almost mutinied.
Damn it, we surrendered our troops and we were so cowardly. Now that we have taken the initiative to accept the recruitment, why don’t you still accept us?
Why do you allow them to follow you and drink spicy food, while I have to eat chaffy vegetables?
The public is so excited that they must give us an explanation!
In the end, Lin Yue was forced to accept them all and incorporated them into the logistics force, doing odd jobs, cutting grass, feeding horses, cooking... At any rate, it was considered an establishment.
The surprise came the next day. The quartermasters of the Yanyun Army counted the names of the new brothers and said they wanted to pay military pay...
Damn it, is there such a thing?
But the quartermasters were very embarrassed to explain that because you are new here, you cannot be paid full pay, only half pay. Please understand, brothers, but you will be paid full pay next month!
There are several ways to receive it. The first one is that you can directly sign and pledge, and we will keep the money until it is settled after the war. If you die in battle, the money will be given to your family members.
The second way is to collect banknotes. These are the banknotes of our Yanyun banknotes. They are currently in circulation in Yanyun County, but may not be available in Langya County. If you don’t want it, you can choose the third way, which is cash. As long as you are not afraid of carrying burdens.
The brothers of Langya Army expressed disbelief. We are marching and fighting now. How can you have cash?
Quartermaster Yanyun said: What do you think are contained in those fully enclosed carts that are nailed with iron nails?
It’s just silver!
Okay, time is tight and the task is heavy, so I won’t explain too much. Everyone should line up and get ready to receive the money...
The lowest-ranking soldier received five taels of silver. The big guys held it in their hands and all remained silent.
The quartermaster was quite embarrassed when he saw this, but he had to explain, "I'm sorry, brothers, it's actually only five taels, because we are marching out, and our basic monthly salary is ten taels of silver. That's half. You are new here. There are no subsidies or rewards..."
Aren’t you getting ten taels of silver every month, or is this the most basic salary?
Everyone was shocked. What the hell, we only have one tael every month and we still owe it on credit!
You Yan Yunjun are too fat, right?
No wonder you eat canned food every meal and win every battle. If you give us so much money, we will risk our lives!
So people don’t think it’s too little, but they think it’s too much…
The quartermaster breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said that it was all right. Although it was a lot, it was not much. Everyone should take it first, and there will be more next month...
In fact, he still 'deducted' a large amount of money, which was Yan Yunjun's settlement fee.
According to the common practice in Yanyun's army, every new soldier who joins will be given fifty taels of silver as settlement allowance first.
But it is indeed very difficult to transport money now. If the banknotes are easy to handle, a truck of several hundred thousand taels can be handled, but it is difficult to transport money. Moreover, the troops are advancing too fast, and the convoy transporting the money cannot catch up. .
None of the newly recruited brothers wanted any money, which made him very embarrassed.
This month, we can handle it with five taels per person, but if we give each person fifty taels, it will not be easy. Oh my god, if we recruit more than 10,000 people at once, we will need 500,000 taels!
There is not much money, but where can I get it at this time?
He could only report it to Lin Yue and explain the difficulties. Lin Yue also expressed his understanding, but there was nothing he could do, so he just let him figure it out, as little as possible, and he would make up for it in the future anyway.
So the quartermaster had no choice but to conceal the settlement allowance. Although it was deduction, it was not corruption. Fortunately, the new brothers didn't mind, so I could handle this job in a daze...
But he said that early that morning, another large wave of defeated troops came under Pingliang City. They gathered under the city gate and shouted loudly to open the city gate quickly. The White Dragon Guard and Yan Yun Army were chasing after them!
Lin Xi, the guard of Pingliang City, Jiang Wu, the prefect of Pingliang City, and others stood at the top of the city, looking at the defeated generals below who had abandoned their helmets and armor, and sighed, with white air coming out of their noses.
What the hell, 300,000 people, just say they lose?
Even if it’s 300,000 pigs, why don’t you give it a try?
In the past few days, Pingliang City has gathered tens of thousands of remnant soldiers. Prince Duan Fengnian ordered him to organize all these soldiers to resist the Zhou soldiers. However, these guys ran too fast and lost all their armor and weapons, and some even lost their boots. Ran away...
How could Pingliang City have so many weapons and armor to equip them?
In addition, Pingliang City does not have much grain storage. With the sudden increase of 10,000 people, at least more than 10,000 kilograms of grain must be consumed every day. There are still so many people in the city who have to eat.
Even the most optimistic estimate is that we can only hold on for ten days. How can we defend this city without food?
When Zhou soldiers come, there is no need to attack. As long as the city is besieged for half a month, everyone will starve to death.
The soldiers will definitely mutiny if they have no food to eat, and the people will definitely mutiny if they have no food to eat. How can I, Lin Xi, take responsibility for this situation of internal and external difficulties?
Emotional Prince, you have gone back to your hometown in Baisha City, and you have also ordered all the food and grass from all over the place to be transported to Baisha. You don’t care if we don’t have food to eat here...
You don't care about our food, or our life or death, but you still want me to stick to Pingliang, not to take a step back, and to block the Zhou soldiers from outside the city. What can I do to stop me?
Just rely on these unarmed and defeated soldiers who can only waste food?
Seeing thousands more people come here is really worrying me to death!
I am a city guard, not a pig feeder. There are so many people without feed.
