Chapter 35 Recruitment

Generally speaking, Yang He is very wary of pure young and strong gangs, let alone defeated soldiers.

However, these seven soldiers are quite different, especially the three Zhang Chugong brothers, who also follow certain etiquette and principles. The four Hu Kaiye seem to have some bad habits, but they also have certain conscience and bottom line, which is quite rare.

Their military appearance and clothing are relatively clean and they have superb skills, so it is a pity to let it go.

He pondered for a while, and smiled and said, "The team is passing by this village to rest. It is better to meet him by chance than to invite him. Why wouldn't a few heroes go to the village together to hover together?"

Zhang Chugong and others looked at each other and whispered. However, Zhang Chugong suddenly hesitated. He looked at Yang He and said, "Can you see your husband's waist card?"

Yang He was a little surprised, and the faces of Minister Yang and Han, beside him, changed.

Minister Yang was about to scold him, but Yang He reached out to stop him. He smiled and said, "The world is chaotic, and no matter how much caution is, it is not an exaggeration."

He untied his waist card from his waist and handed it to Zhang Chugong generously. Several soldiers surrounded him and looked around and were amazed. The moving palladium hand had an encounter with him and said, "This is the body card of the scholar, it's really an eye-opener."

They looked very eye-opening, and the waist card and body card were widely used in the Ming Dynasty. Lu Rong, a native of the Ming Dynasty, said in "Shuyuan Miscellaneous Notes": "Everyone who enters and leaves in the inner palace, regardless of the high or low, will hang cards to avoid suspicion."

In addition to the personal name, age, official position, and occupation, the waist-branded brand with comprehensive information also has facial features of the licensee.

Yang He's waist card is a core with ebony on it, and there are two seal characters "Ancient meaning" on it. These two characters often appear in articles and poems. Most scholars like to engrave it on the body card to show their taste and elegance.

This kind of waist-baring brand cannot be faked. With his temperament and demeanor, it seems that Yang He is a scholar.

Zhang Chugong held it in both hands, handed over the waist card, and said ashamedly: "The villain is disrespectful."

He could not help but be careful. It was not safe for those who joined the army in troubled times. One of their accomplices was deceived by a group of young and strong refugees, and then chopped them up to eat them at night. When Zhang Chugong and others found him, there were not a few bones left.

As a scholar and scholar, Yang He naturally could not do such a thing.

In everyone's hearts, the weight of a scholar is extraordinary.

"Oh, this is the villain's waist card."

After reading Yang He's body card, Zhang Chugong hurriedly removed his waist card for Yang He to show it, and then his two younger brothers, Hu Juye and others who were reluctant to do so.

"You were once under Liu Zeqing's command?"

Yang He carefully looked at the waist cards of Zhang Chugong and others, glanced at them, "Why did you leave? You were broken up during the battle?"

Their waist cards are all very ordinary hardwood. The front of the cards contains their names, the side of the cards is their number, and the back of the cards is a law and a warning, but it does indicate their identity.

"I can't stand what his army does. Some people are soldiers, not thieves."

The sword and shield soldier Chen Qiuao replied in a muffled voice, and Zhang Chugong also nodded silently.

Yang He was even more happy. Just as he was about to speak again, the archer Hu Juye looked at him squintedly. He said, "Scholar, are you going to recruit us?"

Yang He smiled and said, "So what, so what, no?"

Hu Wenye snorted loudly, "Can you afford it? Hu Wenye only has one word, and if you have milk, you are mother..."

The palladium hand once encountered a yin and yang and interjected: "These are six words."

Hu Juye looked at him unhappily and continued, "You have to eat enough every day, and you can't miss three meals. You have to eat at least one meal every three days. If you can satisfy it, you will sell this life to you. If you can't, don't blame me for being ruthless. In short, give me some food and salary to sell my life."

Yang He shook his head, Luo Xianjue and others sneered here: "In this world, I want to have a full meal every day and eat a meal of meat for three days? Even in a peaceful and prosperous era, it is not something I can think of just thinking about."

The archer Hu Juyi hurriedly pulled his elder brother's clothes uneasy, his face flushed under the eyes of everyone. Zhang Chugongren and others next to him shook their heads. Although they were comrades, Hu Kai's words always made them ashamed.

Yang He smiled and said, "Yang can only ensure that rewards and punishments are clear, and that all brothers share the joys and sorrows, share the blessings and suffer difficulties."

He looked at the half wolf that Hero Han was carrying: "But there must be meat to eat today."

He said to Zhang Chugong: "Sir Zhang?"

The three firearms looked at each other, and Zhang Chugong said, "Go and take a look."

The sword and shield soldier Chen Qiuao said coldly: "Do you have someone with the surname Ao?"

Yang He shook his head.

Chen Qiuao said: "Okay, look."

He once met with a smile: "If you have meat, I will definitely go."

In the end, Hu found employment. Hu Juyi's brothers were two archers. Hu Juyi told Hu Juyi and said, "Brother, I have meat to eat."

Hu Juye frowned and said, "Are you a little bit of backbone?"

He looked to Chen Qiuao as he was looking forward to, but Chen Qiuao just pretended not to see his wink.

His younger brother Hu Kuyi just pulled his clothes: "It's meat."

Hu Juye sighed, "Oh, you are too worthless."

...

The group walked back.

They crossed the stone bridge and turned from Zhuang North to the southwest.

Minister Yang walked by the Yang River and looked at the seven officers and soldiers. They were obviously elite veterans and were extremely oppressive. Although Fang Qing and Wang had equipment, he showed a hasty and uneasy expression when he looked at these people.

He said worriedly: "Young Master."

Yang He nodded: "I know what's going on in my heart."

He continued to talk and laugh with Zhang Chugong, taking the opportunity to ask about their life history.

Zhang Chugong did not hide it, and he said everything, and then Yang He learned about the lives and past of these people.

It turned out that the Zhang Chugong brothers were from Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province. They were from shift craftsmen. Because the craftsmen were too heavy, they fled and joined the army and returned to Liu Zeqing's command.

Originally, he had been in the army to eat food, but since this year, Lu has been in a state of peace.

In the first month, the thieves in the Dongping rose, the local thieves Li Tingshi and Li Dingxuan fell into Gaotang Prefecture, and then Cao Pu thieves, Li Qingshan and others caused rebellion, and millions of food were blocked from Yanzhou, and even the canal was cut off.

In order to protect the grain, the court set up four towns, Xu, Lin, Tong and Hun to prevent the enemy from the east, and dismissed Wang Guobin's position, and ordered Yang Yufan, Liu Zeqing and other troops to advance to the suppression.

It was also during this series of battles that Zhang Chugong and others were disbanded, and they were long dissatisfied with Liu Zeqing's military habits, so they took the opportunity to escape.

During this period, they also joined the command of Jin Shenghuan, the deputy general of Xuzhou, but Xuzhou was not peaceful. The local gangsters Cheng Jikong, Wang Daoshan, Zhang Fangzao and others caused trouble and even burned and swept through the northern pass of Xuzhou. There were no pedestrians within a radius of hundreds of miles.

During a battle, they were disbanded again, and the three brothers were not happy with some of the atmosphere in Jin Shenghuan's army, so they took the opportunity to leave.

After that, they were too lazy to join the army, so they lived in Grandma Mountain fifteen miles north of Shuangqiaozhuang, and built equipment in a mountain temple under the mountain to make a living.

From the north of this abandoned village, there are many mountains and mountains, all of which run north and south, spreading to the edge of the Yellow River.

There are many villages and towns that have built villages and protected themselves on the mountain, and there is a high demand for weapons.

The three brothers were born in craftsmen and all made good equipment, including swords, spears, muskets, and rockets, so they could make a living.

Chen Qiuao, a sword and shield soldier, and was from Qingzhou Prefecture, who was born in the Mahu family and had met Chaefu. They both fled with harsh labor and violently, and by chance they joined the same camp as Zhang Chugong.

Then the same battle was broken up and wandered in the wilderness.
