"So the Tiger Character Banner is ready to capture Shaanxi?" Wang Jiayin said with mixed feelings.
He had worked so hard to capture Fugu County, but the other party was already preparing to attack Shaanxi. In other words, if he was unwilling to join the Tiger-Character Banner, he and his troops would all become the Tiger-Character Banner. The target to deal with.
Wu Hao smiled softly after hearing this.
Although Wang Jiayin did not answer directly, the expression on his face already showed his attitude.
"Can I not be the magistrate of Fugu County? I prefer to lead troops and work in the army." Wang Jiayin's attitude has already softened.
Because he knew that the gap between himself and Tiger Flag was too big.
Not to mention the threat from the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town, even if there is no threat to him from the soldiers and horses of Yansui Town, Fugu County is close to Shanxi, and that is the territory of the Tiger Flag. Even if everyone is a rebel, as long as he refuses Recruiting the Tiger Character Banner, the Tiger Character Banner would never let him go when they attacked Shaanxi.
Wu Hao smiled and said: "If Leader Wang is willing to stay in the army and lead the troops, he can become a captain in the army, but brother Wang, can you read?"
"You need to be literate to be a captain?" Wang Jiayin's eyes widened.
Wu Hao nodded and said: "All officers of the Tiger Character Flag must be literate, otherwise they will not be allowed to become officers. If the leader wants to enter the army, he can first become literate and then accept the assessment of the captain. After passing the assessment, he can become an army officer." One of the captains."
"It's still so troublesome? How many people can the captain control?" Wang Jiayin frowned.
He was asked to cut people with a knife, and he knew a little bit about marching and fighting, but Xiang Qiang was not good at reading. When he was a frontier soldier, their general was so good at it that he didn't know how to read.
The positions in the Tiger-Character Banner Army are very different from those of the Ming Dynasty's border army. Wu Hao explained to Wang Jiayin: "The captain has three squadrons, and each squadron has three squads. One squad has more than thirty people." .”
"A captain only has more than 300 people under his command." Wang Jiayin looked disappointed after calculating the specific number of people.
Wu Hao explained: "The officers of Tiger Character Banner are promoted only after they have made meritorious service. Even the officers who came out of the martial arts hall have the highest position of deputy squadron leader."
"Did I capture Fugu County?" Wang Jiayin said.
Wu Hao said: "The Tiger-Character Banner army has been attacking cities and plundering land everywhere in Xuanfu and Shanxi in Datong. Not to mention county towns, even state capitals have been captured. To be honest, if it hadn't been for the special permission of our general, Chief Wang, with the merits of Chief Wang, At most, the position of a squadron leader."
"Is it possible that your county magistrate is not as valuable as a captain in the army?" Wang Jiayin said with dissatisfaction.
Wu Hao shook his head and said: "The two are different, and if Leader Wang wants to take over the position of Fugu County Magistrate, he also needs to study. After studying, he can take office."
"You also need to be literate?" Wang Jiayin asked.
Wu Haodao: "Not only do you need to be literate, but you also need to learn to govern the local area, and assist the local chief official in a certain state or county under the rule of the Tiger Banner. You will not take office until you become a qualified local official."
"According to what you said, I not only have to abandon the troops in my hands, but also learn this and that. If I fail, even if you agree to give me the position of county magistrate, I will not be able to become the county magistrate, right? "Wang Jiayin became obviously unhappy.
He took over Fugu County, and now he has the final say in everything he does in the city. But after joining the Tiger-Character Banner, he not only loses everything, but it is not certain whether he can serve as an official within the Tiger-Character Banner in the future.
Wu Hao said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chief Wang. In fact, this starting point is already very high. If you want to be the county magistrate in Tiger Character Banner, you have to go through very complicated studies. In many cases, you will only be a town magistrate or county magistrate in the end. There are very few people who are promoted to county magistrate in one step.”
Huzi Banner has trained more and more officials in the past two years. Local personnel are no longer as scarce as before. Many people who come out of the martial arts hall have to start as petty officials.
"Now that I am in Fugu County, I have promised to join your Tiger Flag, but I have to suffer this injustice. Why don't you, Brother Wu, go back and discuss it with your general. There is no need to disband my troops. I will take them to fight for your Tiger Flag." To capture the city with the banner, all I need is you to provide soldiers, armor and horses." Wang Jiayin was unwilling to hand over the power in his hands and made his request.
After hearing this, Wu Hao looked at Wang Jiayin and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if the leader doesn't want to join the Tiger Flag. Considering that we are both rebels, I can make the decision to prepare twenty sets of half-breastplates for the leader. I can also give you a batch of ten fire blunderbuss, swords and guns, but from now on, if the king wants to get the armor of my tiger flag, he can only get it from the battlefield."
Wang Jiayin, who was still smiling at first, turned dark.
Naturally, you can feel the threat of the other party.
tread! tread! tread!
Rapid footsteps came from outside, along with the sound of a woman crying.
Huang Hu walked in from outside, dragging a woman in his hand.
"Brother Huang Hu, what's going on?" Wang Jiayin looked at the crying woman in front of him and asked Huang Hu who brought the woman in.
"Brother, I led my men to rob the big house and captured a few women in the backyard. I saw that my eldest brother was lonely, so I brought her here to serve you, eldest brother." Huang Hu said with a big grin.
Wang Jiayin glanced at the woman.
Although the woman's face was covered with tears, she could still see the beautiful appearance of the woman in front of her.
"This must be Brother Huang Hu!" Wu Hao smiled and looked at Huang Hu and said.
When he heard someone calling him, Huang Hu turned to look at Wu Hao in his seat, frowned, and asked, "Who are you?"
"This is the envoy sent by Tiger Character Banner to discuss surrender." Wang Jiayin opened his mouth and introduced Wu Hao's identity to Huang Hu.
Wu Hao smiled and nodded to Huang Hu.
Huang Hu frowned and said: "I heard that the Tiger Character Banner did a great job in Xuanda, and they were attacking Taiyuan Prefecture not long ago. I think there is no need to join our rebel army, right?"
Wu Hao's face darkened after hearing this.
"It's not that they submit to us, it's that we submit to the Tiger Flag." Wang Jiayin explained.
Huang Hu snorted and said: "I know, but there is no need. We are doing our big things in Shaanxi, and they are doing theirs in Shanxi. The water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river, so there is no need to combine them."
"So all my men will be dispersed?" Wang Jiayin frowned deeply, "What should we do in Fugu County? The troops from Yansui Town may come to Fugu County at any time."
Wu Hao said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chief Wang, the Tiger Character Banner's army is already ready to go and can enter Shaanxi and come to Fugu County at any time."
