With the purchase of materials, craftsmen recruited them, Xin'anzhuang entered a stage of rapid development.

More than 700 people in Xin'an Village were also busy.

Everyone has work, and the streets and alleys have arranged to clean the old and weak, and transport the garbage outside the village. This is also the reason why the village is clean every day.

The blacksmiths, Jiang Fuhai and others all assigned matters. Two carpenters, because one of them could make wheels, arranged to make wheels of shield trucks, and the other, specially made wooden bodies of muskets.

There are also bricklayers such as Gu Jiu, those kiln workers, those kiln workers, repairing city towers, building bathhouses and toilets, reservoirs near the mill, brick kilns located at the foot of the west mountain, etc. A large number of public buildings are waiting for them. Yang He recruits these people, so naturally they will not let them eat for nothing.

It’s just that the weather is cold and there are few people at the moment, so they can’t do much work, but it’s okay to lay the foundation.

The market is still under construction and is expected to open at the end of the month. There are about a dozen carpenters, stonemasons and bricklayers in each village are busy there. When the market comes to an end, Yang He will also recruit these craftsmen.

In the busy life, time flies to the fifteenth of November.

After destroying the Jiaoshan bandits, Yang He asked the village heads to return to his hometown to wait. After half a month, the matter of recruiting the village heroes was assessed and recruited today.

The weather is good this day. Although the temperature is low, there is no cold wind that strikes the face, and even the sun shines high in the sky.

Early in the morning, the common men from various villages came one after another, and everyone wanted to be recruited as a village hero.

There are all kinds of rumors in Xin'an Village that the lives of the people in the village have long been spread. The food and accommodation are something that the people dare not imagine. Xin'an Village is even more powerful. This Jiaoshan bandits who can stop children from crying at night were destroyed by them. Who wouldn't want to enter such a farm?

Of course, Yang He was very concerned about recruitment. He personally assessed the matter. In addition to being strong and honest, those with family members were given priority, basically according to the requirements of the Qi family army.

Of course, some slightly special troops can relax requirements.

...

After a day of assessment, Yang He recruited 400 people, and the screening was very strict. You should know that this area has a population of tens of thousands, and the number of young and strong is as high as 2,300, but only one-sixth of the people were selected.

The selected ones were very happy, their families cheered, and the losers couldn't help but be depressed.

However, the leaders of the various villages who came to observe were relieved. The brave people in the village and the archers were basically not recruited.

Although I hope that the village heroes will be peaceful after training, they will not place all their hopes on Xin'an Village. They do not want to weaken the protective power and combat power in the village.

Of course, Yang He also noticed the archers and some brave men in each village. When he wiped out the Jiaoshan bandits, the 160 archers in each village made a lot of efforts, and he didn't want to let it go.

Just say that if there is any war in Xin'an Village in the future, these brave and archers from each village can fight with the army, bring their own dry food and gain their own harvest.

Some unrecruited people showed a smile that was understood by themselves. When they wiped out the Jiaoshan bandits, some people had gone to fight and collected the bandits' pockets, and their waists were full.

They also heard that Xin'anzhuang is under strict management and they may not be used to it. Perhaps it is the best choice to follow the army at that time.

...

The recruitment lasted for one day. After recruiting new recruits, Yang He immediately organized the army.

He was confident about the organization and mixed new recruits and veterans, and was generally divided into several major parts: killer teams, firearm teams, and baggage teams, as well as military law, assault, escorts, and sentry detectives.

Yang He had 500 troops when he was recruited by these young men. In addition to the baggage and other teams, the pure combat troops were divided into two generals.

There are four teams in total, each team has five A and ten A people, one person is the leader of the A, one is the deputy A and the other sergeant commander, and another sergeant commander.

The fifth team is a team, with one captain, two deputy team members, one team of fifty-three people, another flag bearer, one flag bearer, and a total of fifty-five people.

Then the four teams are the first general, the first and second teams are the firearms teams, and the third and fourth teams are the killers teams, all of which are pure teams.

The firearm team is temporarily using bird guns. During the war, the fourth armor is divided into two rows, and the fifth armor is used as a preparatory plan.

The killer team is composed of two armored swords and three armored spears. During wartime, one armored swords and shields protect the two armored spears. The last armored swords and shield hands and spearmen are used as reserve teams.

There is also one general manager, two deputy general managers, and one standard bearer, one golden drummer, five guards, and a total of two hundred and thirty people.

Because there were too many new recruits, all the original soldiers became officers.

The proportion of officers in Yanghe's ranks is very high. The sergeant commanders in each rank are all veterans. In this case, there are eighteen soldiers in one team, seventy-five soldiers in one team, and two totals are one hundred and fifty. There are other types of soldiers. Yanghe originally did not have enough veterans.

The personnel arrangements are made in this.

Minister Yang is the chief general, Han Guan'er and Yang Qian are the deputy chief general.

One group was divided into four teams.

Team 1, captain Luo Xianjue, team deputy Yang Han, and Zhang Chujing.

Team 2, captain Dong Shicai, team deputy Lai Kunyou, and Zhang Chuxun.

Team 3, captain Lin Guangguan, team deputy Zhang Zongxiang, and Lei Qingbo.

Team 4, captain Gao Jinzhong, team deputy Shi Xianwei, and Ning Shaolian.

Team one and two inside are firearms teams, and team three and four inside are killers teams.

Han Daxia is the second general manager, Mi Dagu, and Zhang Chugong is the deputy general manager.

The second general was also divided into four teams.

Team one, captain Ma Xiang, team deputy tiger squat cannon, Guan Feng.

Team 2, captain Yang Tianfu, team deputy Li Wenchang, and Hu Yansheng.

Team 3, captain Yang Zuwen, team deputy Zou Qinmeng, and Li E.

Team 4, captain Zhang Dong, team deputy Deng Luan, and Yan Chengchai.

The first and second teams are firearms teams, and the third and fourth teams are killers teams.

Cui Lu was also appointed as the captain of the grenade team, Chang Rusong and Huang Jianzhong were appointed as the deputy team, and twenty people were temporarily assigned to the team.

Minister Yang was appointed as the military law team, commando and guard team captain, Chen Qiuao and Zhang Songtao were appointed as the team deputy, and the team was temporarily set to twenty people.

With Han Daxia as the captain of the sentry team, he met with Hu Juye as the deputy team, and the team was temporarily set to be ten people.

The baggage team is still captained by Sheng Santang, Yang Ma Ge and Li Xueyi as the team deputy, and the team is temporarily set to 50 people.

Now the baggage team is all young and strong, and the number of people is also increasing. In particular, Yang He plans to equip wheelbarrows and transport more materials.

Before the Industrial Revolution, wheelbarrows were the best way to transport over land. Its cargo capacity was better than manpower and even more than animal power. If the power of animal power or wind power was used, its cargo capacity could reach up to 600 kilograms of cargo.

Generally speaking, many men who transport wheelbarrows are easy to promote crops of 300 to 500 kilograms, and their pace is light and difficult to follow.

This is also the result of excellent design of Chinese wheelbarrows. The large wheels are in the center of the car body. Unlike Europeans who install small wheels in front of the car, half of the cart weight must be borne by the cart, and the load capacity can reach three to six times that of the European cart.

Wheelbars are very common north of the Huai River, and basically they are available in every village. Earlier, the wheelbarrow in Xin'an Village was taken away by bandits, but after breaking through Jiaoshan Villa, many wheelbarrows were seized. Even if they were not enough, they could be purchased from surrounding villages, especially those with sails.

The only disadvantage is that there are too many rivers and lakes in Huaibei. If you encounter a water net in front of you, it will be inconvenient to walk even if you have a wheelbarrow.

The equipment of the baggage team will be in a mixed-type mode, two armored firearms, two armored swords and shields, and one armored spear.

Li Jiale was also appointed as the captain of the medical team, Huang Yingxuan and Wu Chen were the deputy team.

Hu Juyi was appointed as the instructor in Zhuangzhong, Wang Zhihui, Lai Yuangao, Li Wenchuan, Deng Xian, Wu Jinghuan and others as their teachers.

In addition to Hu Juyi, the rest are all disabled veterans, but training new recruits is enough.

If the soldiers came out in full swing, they would be responsible for the defense of the village with Qi Youxin and others.

The elderly and weak in the village also need to be trained. In the future, there will be enough firearms, and the people in the village will have a Xin'an gun.

...

After the final corps was formed, all the young and strong stood in the theater square. Looking at the army, Yang He was very excited. A warm current also arose in Yang He's heart. His own strength was growing and he had the capital to survive in troubled times.

The newly recruited people lived in the village, and the southeast and southwest of Xin'an Village were designated as military camps.

The treatment arrangement for them is to provide food, accommodation, supply military uniforms and weapons, and then ordinary soldiers and village warriors each paid five cents per month for military pay, six cents for the squad, seven cents for the deputy, and eight cents for the squad.

The team's deputy had nine cents, the captain had one or two liang, the deputy commander had one or five cents, and the general was two liang.

The treatment is very good, after all, it includes food, accommodation, and military uniforms and weapons.

For food and accommodation in Xin'an Village, you can't get five or six taels of silver every month.

If you send troops to fight, you will have various gains, such as touching your pockets and some rewards after the war.

Therefore, the five cents a month of ordinary soldiers seem to be small, but they are pure income.

Compared to them, Xin'anzhuang's monthly salary is more substantial and consumable.

After the soldiers were treated, Yang He also formulated the treatment of each villager, from men to women, from old to young, and all implemented a salary system.

Praise, the basic treatment of the congressman is two taels of silver, one tael of 5 cents of stewardship, and one tael of silver in charge.

Everyone has corresponding treatment, even if they are half-working and half-study children, they also have two cents of silver every month.

Compared with the soldiers who have gained money when they go out to fight, they have good work and bonuses. Especially the former Xin'an Village residents have food and accommodation, and there is no tax. Compared with the local tyrants who have been recruited, the monthly military pay and harvest may be sent home, so they can spend money without any scruples.

I don’t have to worry about spending all my monthly salary, after all, there is always a place to eat and sleep.

This is also Yang He deliberately cultivates that in the future, domestic demand drives development, and without a market, it is necessary to create a market.

...

After the army is organized, it will conduct one month of training, and during this period, Yang He will also carry out a series of regular measures.

For example, a strict waist card system is implemented, and when traveling in the shop, the waist card is displayed. Especially the long waist card is larger, and the names of everyone in the armor must be remembered on it.

The defense against Xin'anzhuang is that the two generals will be held for one month each, and two men will be arranged to guard the gate and watch the night every day. The roads leading to the village must also be arranged for posts.

Banners and drums must be formulated.

Yang He believed that the simpler the flag of the army, the better, so there is only one golden drummer for each, and then there is two around him, and another trumpeter.
