Chapter 206 Town Mark
The eighth day of September is Zhang Guodong's wedding.¥f,
Zhang Guodong was promoted by Liu Jun. The two not only had a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also had the status of teachers and students. Liu Jun naturally had to attend the wedding of this beloved general in person.
Since joining the Nine-Headed Bird, Zhang Guodong has been promoted to a guerrilla general with his hard work and Liu Jun's appreciation and promotion in a short time. Such a young guerrilla general is naturally the purpose of being asked, not to mention that he is a single guerrilla general. Countless families want to marry Zhang Guodong, and there are even many large families, and even some officials and gentry families.
But in the end, everyone was surprised that the young guerrilla general actually chose a married woman to marry. It is even rumored that the woman had been robbed and insulted by bandits. At the beginning, the Zhang family was unwilling to do this. Their family used to be miserable, and their sons were still in their twenties but could not marry their wife. Later, Guodong went to join Jiutou and took the money from the An family to marry the eldest daughter.
Seeing that his son had finally followed others and became a general, the Zhang family naturally hoped to marry a better-born and gentle wife for his son. But who would have thought that his son had so many Jinshi, and the Juren family took the initiative to propose marriage but refused, but insisted on marrying a married woman, and had been insulted by bandits.
Old Zhang firmly disagreed, and Zhang's mother was also hanging and crying. Finally, Zhang Guodong found Liu Jun and said that his relationship with Fang Qing was real, and he just wanted to marry her.
Liu Jun was still very moved when he heard this. In the Ming Dynasty, some people didn't care about the secular vision and were determined to stick to that relationship. He went to find Fang Qing himself, but found that Zhang Guodong was simply a fool. He was having a life-and-death relationship with his family. As a result, he had never officially confessed to Fang Qing.
Fang Qing had no idea that Zhang Guodong was going to marry her, nor did he know that he had made a fuss with his family. She and Zhang Guodong have known each other for a long time, and she did know that Zhang Guodong had a good impression of her, and she also had a good impression of Zhang Guodong. But she never thought she would marry him.
"I can't marry him." Fang Qing replied in surprise. It turned out that the matter between her and her ex-husband had not yet been broken. She was caught and insulted by the thieves before, and the family did not accept her at all, just thought she was dead. After Liu Jun rescued her, she contacted her husband, but her husband refused to take her back.
Later, Liu Jun took them into work in the service club. Then, with work and salary, she sent the salary home, and her husband also received it. Until now, her husband didn't seem to be planning to divorce her, but he didn't say he wanted to pick her up.
It is obvious that her family was just an ordinary farmer's home, and now Fang Qing's monthly salary and bonus in the service club is more than one or two, which is obviously a considerable amount of money.
Liu Jun didn't expect this to be the case, but he still said something to her very directly.
"Do you think clearly who is the one who is really good to you? Do you don't care about worldly perspectives and rumors, but only want to be with her. Or do you just think about her husband who is paying for her."
"You will never meet someone like Zhang Guodong treats you again. Don't make a choice to make yourself regret it."
Liu Jun's persuasion was very effective. Fang Qing finally decided to marry the man who was younger than him but loved extremely, but there was still a problem. Fang Qing and his husband were still in a husband-wife relationship.
Liu Jun just smiled and sent someone to take her husband over, then offered her husband a condition, one hundred taels of silver, and exchanged for a divorce letter.
The thin man didn't expect that his wife, who was a broken flower, could be worth so much money. He pressed his handprint without saying a word, and asked someone to write a divorce letter on his behalf, so that his wife would be divorced.
Fang Qing witnessed the whole process of her husband getting her divorce from beginning to end. When she got the divorce book, she felt more relieved.
With Liu Jun himself as a big matchmaker for the two, the Zhang family accepted the marriage. Without Liu Jun, there would be nothing like the Zhang family now. Now his son is determined to marry that woman, and Liu Dashuai himself is a big matchmaker, so they can no longer object.
The wedding will be held on September 8th.
Zhang Guodong was going to hold a lively wedding, but he didn't want to feel wronged Fang Qing. Liu Jun and Jiutouzhao's generals rushed to congratulate him. Many gentry and businessmen nearby also came uninvited, hoping to use this to curry favor with the young general who was chasing him from the poor mountain nest.
Liu Jun still wished the couple very much and gave them a lot of gifts. The wedding was very grand, with more than 800 tables, which alarmed the entire Macheng. This show surprised Liu Jun. However, he didn't say much. If Zhang Guodong wanted to be more lively, then he would be more lively. Anyway, Zhang Guodong is rich now, and there are only hundreds of banquets. Although there are many tables in the countryside, the cost is not much. One table is only one tael of silver. This is the most prosperous banquet in Taiping Township in hundreds of years.
There are many brothers of Nine-Headed Bird in Taiping Township, especially Zhangjiazhuang, a small village with more than 30 Nine-Headed Birds. Now more than half of these people have formal ranks. This time, the remaining strong young people in the village are also ready to join Nine-Headed Birds. Young people from nearby villages have already signed up for Zhang Guodong and others.
When Liu Jun came, he didn't plan to go back immediately. He stayed in this mountain, saving a lot of social troubles. Guests visited each other every day in Macheng. Liu Jun wandered around the villages and villages every day, going to the homes of the Jiutou Birds, and then chatting with them. He also paid special attention to the lives of ordinary people in Taiping Township.
After talking to many people, Liu Jun realized that life in the mountains was getting harder and harder. Taiping Township had fewer fields and many mountains, and the output was not much, but the donation was increasing year by year. Since this year, there have been more salary training, as well as many other names such as group training and grain distribution. If many children of many families had not joined Jiutou, brought back a lot of money and then everyone helped each other, I am afraid that many families would have to escape today.
Once someone fled, the various food taxes will not be reduced, and the fled people will be spread to other people who stay.
I heard that in the mountainous areas of Guangzhou, Henan and Luzhou Prefecture, many young people in many villages had some uneasy thoughts. They were unwilling to bear it and secretly looked forward to the bandits coming. Some young people who had no worries even took the initiative to leave home to surrender, just to survive, no longer live in despair, and be subject to endless exploitation.
"It's better for our Taiping Township. If the marquis recruits soldiers, everyone has a way out. With hope, the general, recruit more soldiers. The young men in our Taiping Township are brave and obedient. Recruit more soldiers. The people in our Taiping Township also have more ways to survive." While chatting, a group of elderly people in the village begged Liu Jun to recruit more young men to join the army.
Liu Jun also tried his best to satisfy these requirements. This time, Liu Jun recruited a large number of recruits in Macheng. For Liu Jun, recruiting new recruits from Macheng is the same soldiers from his neighbors. He speaks the same accent and says the same words. Everyone knows the most credible and easy to manage. Especially in places like Taiping Township, which are poor and remote areas, young children are honest and willing to endure hard-earned opportunities. They will cherish the hard-won opportunities.
Whenever Liu Jun goes to a village, he always brings many gifts, which are very practical grain cloths, and they are distributed to the villagers from door to door, especially those who are lonely and widowed, disabled families, etc., who will give one extra copy.
Liu Jun's reputation has continued to soar in Taiping Township. Now he has become a living Bodhisattva in the hearts of the people. Even every household has begun to erect Liu Jun's tablet of immortality and pray for him day and night.
After living in Taiping Township for a long time, Liu Jun returned to Hutou Fort. When he returned, there were also Zhang Guodong and other officers from Taiping Township, as well as thousands of new recruits they recruited at home this time.
As usual, Liu Jun gave each of the recruits and assessments five taels of silver to each of them. The salary and reward methods of Jiutou Bird have been changed a lot. However, the price of the resettlement fee has never been changed, although it is a large expense.
When we returned to Hutou Fort, there were already many officers and soldiers who came back first and the new recruits they recruited, and new teams came back from time to time. The officers and soldiers returned home for vacation, and when they came back, they brought teams of all sizes.
This time, Jiutou recruited a lot of new recruits. In addition to recruiting thousands of new recruits in Sichuan, a total of more than 20,000 new recruits will be recruited this time. Among them, Liu Jun asked Qin Yimin and Ma Wannian to return to Shizhu to recruit a total of 4,000 white-rod soldiers who had filled the headquarters, Liu Jun will also recruit 20,000 new recruits in Macheng and surrounding areas.
Among them, the focus is on recruiting 10,000 new recruits in Macheng.
Tigerhead Castle is getting more and more lively, and teams are entering.
This time, Liu Jun did not disperse all his veterans. For him, the teams that had just been expanded in Sichuan were mostly new recruits. Therefore, this time, Liu Jun changed his new expansion plan and recruited a large number of new recruits. At the same time, he maintained the five battalions that had returned from Sichuan, and drew a group of elite veterans from these five battalions as backbones to fill them in the teaching battalion. Then he selected some officers and some new recruits from the teaching battalion to establish a new infantry battalion. Then he split the baggage battalion and expanded the new recruits into two battalions, one baggage battalion and one chariot battalion.
Finally, Liu Jun established a martial arts lecture hall to train officers at all levels of the army. At the same time, he recruited a group of outstanding young people to conduct one to two years of long-term training, and then served as officers at the bottom of each battalion in the future, and transferred other foreign trainers such as Fushe, Baigang Soldiers, and Township Braves Training.
Finally, Liu Jun's general's battalion was two steps, one chariot, one cavalry, one cavalry, four generals, the towns, the towns, the towns, the battalion, the battalion, the battalion, the battalion, the battalion, the battalion, the battalion, the battalion, the battalion, the battalion, the battalion, the battalion, the battalion, was led by two guerrilla generals, but was directly led by Liu Jun. The martial arts lecture hall was followed, and Liu Jun personally served as the principal.
These six battalions are the nine-headed bird elites that Liu Jun should give priority to. Some of the other new recruits are recruited and trained by deputy general Qin Yimin, specifically the three thousand soldiers and horses of the deputy general camp in Chongqing and the one thousand soldiers and horses guarded by Baidi City. These four thousand soldiers are mainly white-rod soldiers, but the officers sent by Liu Jun will also be middle-level.
As for the remaining recruits, they include a deputy general, a surprise battalion, a four general, a reinforcement battalion and five garrison teams.
These two deputy generals, four generals, six generals, guards, a total of 22,000 new recruits, and only a small number of veterans will be drawn as officers, and then they will have to start training again.
All military equipment will be given priority to the six battalions directly controlled by Liu Jun.
As soon as he returned to Hutou Castle, Liu Jun immediately received an urgent letter from Yunyang.
