"His Royal Highness still has too few troops, so the general has relaxed some recruitment conditions. As long as he is young, strong, and has an innocent reputation, he will recruit. As for those who are not strong enough and are not skilled in martial arts, the general thinks that they can be trained and polished later."

Lao Zhu originally planned to recruit a thousand people, but now he has recruited three thousand, which is beyond his expectation.

But today there are too many people who want to take these three taels of silver.

Wang Xiang and other generals also wanted to take the opportunity to replenish their own troops, otherwise they would lead hundreds of people in a guerrilla attack. This guerrilla attack was not very tough.

Lao Zhu thought about it and agreed. He could never regret retreating.

"Yongwei 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, Shenji Battalion, and Haimen Battalion plus Taizhou Battalion and Jinyiwei will each add 500 new soldiers. You can each take your pick."

"Also, these two taels of house-keeping silver and one or two lines of food silver for each person must be distributed immediately without any deduction. After people are assigned to each battalion, they will first be given clothes, shoes and socks, and the Haimen Guards will replenish weapons as much as possible.

Make them look like soldiers."

Not all of the three thousand recruits were given to the Yongwei Battalion or the Haimen Battalion, but were evenly distributed among his current six troops, which was considered as balanced as possible to avoid one family becoming dominant.

"It's summer now, so we don't need blankets, but tents, clothes, shoes and socks are not all available at the moment, and weapons are not easy to equip."

"Take your time. You can find merchants to make tents and clothing. If you don't have money, you can borrow money first. For weapons, we can collect equipment from Taizhou, Haimen and other places first. If there are any problems, we will find a way."

Lao Zhu looked at the Yamen that was still crowded with people, "Old Wang, according to the original plan, let your Yongwei Battalion stay to take over the defense of Haimen Guard City, and I will let Wu Kai's Haimen Battalion garrison the guards on the other side of the river.
