Chapter 153 Rapid expansion
"Report, Geng Jie, the chief of the A-Bank A-Bank A-Bank A-Bank, has selected the members of the team, please register."
The man who was in charge of registering behind the desk felt his ears deaf, so he nodded quickly and picked up his pen to start registering.
A document is responsible for recording the roster, which states the name of each member of the team in detail on the roster, and carefully states the position, position and military rank of each member.
Another document took more than a dozen white cloths and began to write the names of each member of the team on it.
"Zhang Qiusheng, the commander of the left arm of the A flag team and the rattan player Zhang Qiusheng"
"Zhang Qiusheng, take it." The document handed him the white cloth strip and a vest of Bijia. This one had no sleeveless collar, and the opposite sides were slit to the knees. Bijia had a nine-headed bird pattern on the chest and back, and under the patterns on both sides was a big white character "Yang". "This is your number clothes. Go back and use needle and thread to sew the cloth strip to the left side of your lapel."
Zhang Qiusheng took the number clothes and cloth strips, walked to the next table, and handed over a wooden sign behind the desk. The front of the wooden sign reads the nine-headed bird warrior Wang Qiusheng, and the left side of the warrior barracks, the words No. 0007 were written on the left side. On the back, there was a mole on the left side of the five-foot-height yellow face and short beard. There was also a line of words on the left side. Any nine-headed bird warrior hanging this card, without a card, the lost one, and the borrower and borrower were all engaged in accordance with the military law.
Zhang Qiusheng received the wooden sign, but he couldn't understand the words on it, but he still understood the meaning of the document. This sign was his identity sign, which was thrown away or lent to others, or even not carried on him normally. Once discovered, he would be a board at the least, and the worst would be a cart.
He quickly held the wooden sign like a treasure.
At this time, the middle-aged clerk behind a table in front was already shouting impatiently, "Hurry up, why are you going to be slow?"
This time he received a Ming helmet, also commonly known as the Eight-Pianer Iron Hat, but the scriptures reminded him that it turned out that there was a mark on his hat. There was an iron piece on it, and a line of words had been engraved. After listening to the explanation of the document, he realized that the words on it were engraved with the words A, B, and Team A of the Left Division of the Nine-Headed Bird Battle Barracks, the name was not engraved on it, but it was engraved on it. There was a blank behind a certain team, so you could engrave the name himself after going back. The original words were engraved in advance, and the hat must be preserved without any loss.
There has been more than one team general selection on the school field. Every time twenty team general selections are selected together, the scene is extremely lively.
Chen Zhenhui and others were stunned and felt that the school ground was like buying vegetables, or some secret markets in some places. The team leaders picked the team members from left to right. Those who were selected were happy, while those who were not scored stood in the crowd and were anxious.
"It's unique."
"There is no other way. The team of 600 people has now become nearly 10,000. That's all." Liu Jun said. However, he felt that the method of selecting generals and selecting soldiers was quite effective. Through this process of selecting generals and selecting soldiers, the relationship between superiors and subordinates at all levels quickly became closer.
And dividing all troops into groups in advance also makes the combination of each team more reasonable.
Chen Zhenhui and others were unexpectedly surprised that Liu Jun's expansion was so fast that 600 people expanded by nearly 10,000 at once. In fact, Liu Jun still has two battalions recruiting soldiers. Once the garrison and regiment training camps recruited, Liu Jun would have five battalions of troops at once, and it would be swelling.
This speed is amazing.
So Li Chunjiang, who had been watching by the side, had to whisper to remind Liu Jun. "Soldiers are more expensive than elites, but you are afraid you may not be suitable for recruiting so many soldiers at once."
Liu Jun could only smile back at this old friend, "I know this, but now it is no longer as good as before. We can no longer hide in this corner of eastern Hubei. You have also seen that Premier Xiong invites me to Xiangyang, and they have to face thieves such as Zhang Xianzhong and Cao Cao. What these thieves are best at is fighting. They can always carry out tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. If we are still hundreds of people, it is really not enough to make people's teeth."
In addition, Liu Jun was still not saying it in his heart, "Time is no longer waiting for others, and the thieves will rekindle again and sparks will spread. At the same time, Liu Jun's massive expansion is more about guarding against the immediate bosses in Xiangyang. There is no number, and only a few hundred people, not to mention being swallowed up by the bandits, or even betrayed by the bosses at any time. Although it is indeed expanding a little faster now, it is like some creatures will quickly expand themselves to threaten the enemy when facing dangerous enemies. You only have 600 people, and no one is afraid of you no matter how elite you are. But if you have 6,000 people or even ten thousand people, then even the emperor may have to be more respectful to you.
In times of troubled times, having soldiers is the right to speak. It turns out that many generals occupy the military quota and get empty salary, but by this time, some ambitious generals have begun to expand their troops secretly, just like Zuo Liangyu. After a few years, he has already claimed to be an army of 800,000 under his command.
Liu Jun took Li Chunjiang and others down the platform and came to a long row of tables below. He watched the documents register and distributed number clothes, number hats, and number cards. The card table was very long. In addition to the registration list issued number clothes, number hats, and number hats, the people behind also began to distribute various equipment.
Zhang Qiusheng watched the guerrilla general walk in front of him, his hands trembled with excitement.
"Hello, sir."
"Yes." Liu Jun nodded to him, then walked to the table, "What is his equipment? I'll show you it."
The clerk behind the table quickly stood up. Most of these clerks were not from Nine-headed birds. In order to deal with today's scene, Liu Jun specially borrowed students from major academies in the county and asked them to help register and distribute items. Of course, it was not in vain. Each person paid five cents a day. The clerk was happy to help the new guerrilla general, and hundreds of students were sent to each academies.
The clerk behind the table was a scholar who was not even Tong Sheng. There were many Macheng Academy and his literary style was strong. Many of them had some conditions and ran to the academy to study. The young clerk was obviously excited to see Liu Jun, so he quickly stood up and said stutteringly, "Go to General Liu, this brother is the commander of the infantry team and the rattan player. According to regulations, his main equipment is a six-pound rattan side, a waist knife, and a pair of double inserts. A joint bow, thirty arrows, and a short sword."
It has to be said that although soldiers are new tricks, Liu Jun was still well prepared for the soldiers' equipment. In the late Ming Dynasty, although the court was defeated and the military equipment was abolished, on the other hand, the business of the Ming Dynasty was also prosperous in unprecedented prosperity. It can be said that as long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be bought.
Just like Zheng Zhilong, who was recruited by Xiong Wencan a few years ago, was known as wealthy and worth more than tens of millions of taels of silver, far exceeding the annual fiscal revenue of the court. The Zheng family has thousands of ships, and the annual maritime trade volume reaches millions of taels, and can even make a profit of more than one million every year.
The Zheng family's fleet is even a very large maritime armed force, and many ships have dozens of cannons.
This is the Ming Dynasty. On one hand, the court is poor and the people are poor. But on the other hand, many officials, gentry, landlords, sea merchants and salt merchants are rich and rich. They are rich enough to compete with the country, and even their private armed forces are far more than the elite troops of the court's army can fight. It is precisely because of this era, especially in coastal areas such as Guangdong and Fujian, there are many underground military workshops, not only swords, guns, bows and arrows, but even red barbarians and cannons. They are also constantly created.
Liu Jun has a lot of money in his hands for the time being, and he also has a good reputation. Therefore, when he planned to expand his troops, he began to purchase weapons on a large scale. In just one month, all the equipment he wanted had arrived.
In addition to rattan cards, waist knives, bows and arrows, Zhang Qiusheng's equipment also has a backpack with a canvas backpack, a bright helmet and a cotton armor set. There are also a wide-edged hat, two sets of training uniforms, and a pair of training boots. There are rain ponchos, a back, a cowhide belt, leggings, a single soldier tent, and a felt blanket.
In addition, there is a shoulder bag, a kettle, and a palm thunder bag. During wartime, two palm thunders are provided. One lunch box, one dry food bag, and ten days of dry food during wartime. In addition, there is a set of squid and flint and a scoop of engineers.
As a knife player, you have to carry ten strings of caltrops, each with six strings.
There are all kinds of equipment, a lot of equipment.
"So much equipment? Is it all the sword player alone?"
"Yes, if you want to make a profit, you must first sharpen your tools." Liu Jun nodded. Although it seems that there are many things, it is not too heavy when equipped. The backpack can put tents, blankets, spare clothes, boots, and raincoats in it, while the cotton-armored helmet can be worn or put into the bag. There are really many things that can be put into that bag.
There is also a shoulder bag that can also hold a lot of things. The dry food bag can also be carried cross-body, and the kettle can be hung on a belt.
If you are fully armed, Zhang Qiusheng's responsibility may reach thirty or forty kilograms, but Liu Jun believes that it would be better to bring more than to fight with only simple weapons.
Fire Soldiers have much less equipment, and Fire Soldiers do not have cotton armor. His main equipment is a copper pot, another sharp knife and stick, which can be used as a shoulder pole, and the other two wooden barrels can be used to carry supplies for the entire team, or to fetch water and cook.
The musketeers of the Firearms Team are equipped with a flying dragon gun, equipped with a gun sconce, an ammunition box and an ammunition backpack. During wartime, the musketeers will distribute and carry a fixed ammunition of 200 rounds on their bodies.
Each soldier has a lot of equipment, but the ones that cost more money are the cotton armor, iron helmets and weapons. The rest of the backpacks, blankets, clothes, etc. are not worth much. However, the imperial army usually has to deduct some money, so how could they be willing to buy these things for the soldiers?
But after all, Liu Jun was actually short of money, otherwise the Nine-Headed Bird would not have turned from a pure horse team to an infantry army. Compared to a blanket and kettle, horses are still too expensive after all. Moreover, horses are not only expensive themselves, but also expensive to provide for. A horse consumes equivalent to six people.
Liu Jun now only has about 600 horses, barely forming a cavalry bureau, and established a cavalry department at night and a personal cavalry department.
His baggage camp could not afford even ordinary horse-drawn horses, so he had to buy more than a thousand mules to replace horse-drawn horses.
Fortunately, Liu Jun's own firearm workshop has invested so much, and now it has become a scale. It can not only satisfy Jiutou's own firearm equipment, but also be sold to the public. It not only eliminates Jiutou's large-scale firearm equipment costs, but also starts to make money and feed back. Otherwise, Liu Jun would not be able to get all these equipment at once.
"Brother Jiye, I have to say that you are really very courageous. With your courage, I believe that you will definitely be able to make new achievements when you move to Xiangyang this time." Fang Yizhi sighed. Although Liu Jun's third battalion soldiers were all new recruits, with these equipment, they were enough to improve their combat effectiveness.
Hou Fangyu and others also felt the same way. It seemed that it was indeed a wise move for them to send a group of members of the Reply Club to the Jiutou for training. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
