They say there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.
This is clearly reflected in Mengzi.
His name is Meng Jun, but he is really not handsome at all.
Mengzi was tall and burly, with a sinister face.
He looked fierce and overbearing.
On weekdays, he is still unsmiling and looks calm and confident.
He really has the aura of a fierce general.
In fact, he is a simple and honest man and has a good reputation among villagers.
There is only one thing that is criticized.
That is.
If you are stubborn, you will accept death.
Whatever Feng Yibo said, he regarded it as golden rule.
Never given half a cent discount.
It was precisely because of this that Feng Yibo felt relieved to leave Zhuang Ding in his charge.
This time he was entrusted with important tasks, and he was in charge of recruiting and training troops.
At this time, miners gradually gathered after work.
Mengzi made a gesture, and Zhuang Ding next to him continued to shout:
"One tael of pay per month, and in the month of the war, there are also departure expenses!"
Miners watching. Hearing this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
One tael of silver per month, if not deducted, is indeed a lot.
pity……
"If any are captured, there will be additional rewards!"
As soon as these words came out, the miners suddenly became commotion.
Generally, for soldiers, rewards are calculated based on the first level.
It's like this kind of thing where the money is divided after it is seized.
Definitely a true bandit!
For a moment, the miners looked at each other and became even more hesitant.
"After working for a month, you will be paid on the 20th of the next month!"
This was specially warned by Feng Yibo.
He didn't have much money, so he could only make some moves on the days when he was paid.
Postpone it as long as possible.
But in this day and age, that doesn't matter.
because……
"Oh, right!"
"Our uncle guarantees that the salary will be paid in full!"
Many people were excited when they heard that they were paid in full.
Zhuang Ding obviously also knew that this was extremely rare.
As soon as he saw the commotion in the crowd, he immediately shouted again:
"This is a rare good thing in the world, and it happened to you all."
"If you don't hurry up, what are you waiting for?"
The military pay of the Wei Dynasty was divided into several levels.
The more common ones are two.
On the border, it is generally about 24 taels per person per year.
About 2 taels a month.
Health centers in the mainland generally cost around 12 taels of silver per person per year.
Only half of the border area.
However, whether it is the border area or the mainland.
Rarely is the amount paid out in full.
There are many who don't even receive salary.
Many health centers are filled with old, weak, sick and disabled people who are just there to make ends meet and make ends meet.
Really just eat.
And most of the time, they don’t even eat enough.
Only when farming for the superiors can they have enough to eat.
At this time, the absentees heard that they had enough to eat and were paid in full.
Immediately, people were moved.
Some people started to push forward from behind the crowd.
"Let's go! Let's go! I'll go take a look!"
A dark-skinned man squeezed out of the crowd and asked first:
"Brother, I want to fight those Japanese pirates, but if I die and become disabled, what will happen to my parents, wife and children at home?"
When Zhuang Ding heard someone finally asking the question, he quickly responded:
"If he is seriously injured or dies, it is tentatively planned to withdraw one year's salary in advance as a pension."
The annual salary is only 12 taels, which is really too little.
But he added:
"When we kill more Japanese pirates, the pension amount will be increased."
There is nothing that can be done about it, after all, Feng Yibo’s start-up capital is limited.
When the man heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Then let me think about it again."
He has too many ties, and I heard he has very little pension.
Naturally, I can't make up my mind.
However, there are also many bachelors who have long been fed up with the dark life.
He walked forward and slapped the table.
"Count me in!"
If there is one, there is the second.
Soon there was a long queue at the registration area.
At this time, a large group of miners gathered to finish their discussions.
From among the crowd, an old-looking miner came over and asked:
"This man is here to invite us. I wonder where we are stationed and how far away from here we are?"
Zhuang Ding smiled and replied: "On Xiangshan Mountain."
The man asked again: "How many people do you want?"
Zhuang Ding glanced at Mengzi and replied:
"We can only recruit a hundred people here, and we still need this man to select them."
The man then walked towards Mengzi, saluted and said:
"Sir, we are all in this together. If you want to go, just go. If you don't want to, forget it."
Mengzi stood up after hearing this, stared at the man and said:
"Don't go, all of you!"
As soon as these words came out, the miners immediately started talking.
Mengzi had already seen that group of people.
They even looked at each other briefly.
I saw that these miners were all lean and had dark skin.
None of them look strong.
But he knew that these people had a lot of strength.
After looking at the body shape, look at the face.
Most of the people here are honest and honest.
He is echoing Feng Yibo’s request.
Pity!
Mengzi sighed secretly.
It's a pity that the young master also said that each place cannot recruit more than a hundred people.
When it comes time to train, we need to spread them out as much as possible.
This prevents them from getting into groups and making it difficult to manage.
This group of people are already so united even before they are selected, and they must not be taken lightly.
"Master, if you have anything to say, we brothers really want to make a living with you."
After hearing what Mengzi said, the man continued to pester.
"There are only more than 200 of us together, so please accept them all!"
Mengzi shook his head, and the man said again:
"If the uncle doesn't accept it, others won't be able to go."
When Mengzi heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he said: "Get out!"
"Can you say that again?"
That man also stood up with his eyes wide open, showing his fierce look.
Before Mengzi could speak again, Zhuang Ding saw this and sneered:
"What's wrong? If you dare to threaten the imperial officials, are you planning to rebel?"
As soon as these words came out, the man was shocked and quickly begged for mercy.
"Excuse me, sir, but get out of here!"
He thought he was just a soldier, but he didn't expect to be an official.
"Get out of here, get out of here!"
As he spoke, he backed away and ran away with his men.
When Mengzi saw this, he stopped pursuing it and looked at the people waiting in line.
Body shape, face, even teeth.
Just like buying livestock, a hundred people were quickly selected.
Then one after another, in Jinhua, Taizhou and Ningbo.
Similar things are happening in many places.
Thousands of people arrived one after another from various places in the northeast of Xiangshan Mountain.
Feng Yibo had already arrived at Xiangshan.
He borrowed some people from Liu Zhao and camped here to wait.
The arriving people were registered and placed in various places in the camp by Gouzi.
When Mengzi came back, there were already more than 5,000 people in the camp.
In addition to distinguishing left and right, I also run every day these days.
The rest of the time, these five thousand people stood in military posture.
When Mengzi came back, hundreds of people had been eliminated.
Some are disobedient.
Some are cheating and playing tricks.
There are also some who have hidden diseases or are too weak in physical strength.
I thought training every day would be enough.
But they didn't know until Mengzi came back.
A few days ago, those who trained them showed mercy.
Mengzi took charge personally, and the speed of elimination suddenly increased.
During the one-month trial period required by Feng Yibo.
All three thousand regular soldiers were selected!
