Chapter 37 Nine-headed bird banner

It was still in front of Guan Gong Temple at the south gate of the county town, where Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang gathered the horse team's village warriors. After the recruitment that day, those qualified people were asked to go back and hire the old Jiashou in the village as insurance, proving that they were innocent and kind families in the local area and had no criminal record, Liu Jun gave each person five taels of silver as promised, and prepaid a month's salary of two taels of silver. In addition, they were given one piece of cloth and one set of clothes for each person.

After having a meal at the Li family, they gave them three days off the next day and asked them to go home to settle down.

Liu Jun was still worried that these people would run away after taking the money, but after thinking about it, except for the eight monks who were recruited because of their outstanding martial arts, the other dozens were basically local people from the hometown, and they all passed the village's insurance first.

Sure enough, when Liu Jun came to Guangong Temple, the local warriors had already returned one after another.

"Everyone stood in a row and then reported the number." Liu Jun shouted.

A group of strong young men took the team as required and then reported the number. Although Liu Jun told them how to report the number, after doing it for a long time, they always made mistakes. It took about half an hour to report it, and finally it was correct.

A total of one hundred people.

Originally, only forty people were recruited that day, but many people still came to the county town to ask for the recruitment these days. Finally, after discussing it, Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang recruited more than 30 people from it, and finally gathered a hundred people.

The team of 100 people is already a force. But now these 100 people are just a group of hunters, monks, servants, farmers, postmen, etc. It is still a long way to train them into a group of elite riders.

Li Chunjiang looked at the township hero standing in rows, his heart full of excitement. He asked Liu Jun, "What should I do next?"

Liu Jun smiled to hide the tension in his heart, "The first thing at the moment is to organize the team and clarify the top and bottom, so that is the unit."

As he said that, he took out a piece of paper from his arms. This was a compilation table based on the assessment results he received during the recruitment these two days.

"Five people and one team, choose one strong and smart person as the sergeant. Two teams have a team, ten war soldiers, plus one team chief, and one person is added to the fire soldiers."

"Three teams are one flag, one flag chief, three teams are three soldiers, plus thirty combat soldiers."

"The two flags have one bureau, one hundred generals, two generals, six teams, six groups of soldiers, and sixty soldiers. In addition, the bureau has one central flag, which has a military prison, and is not taken away at night. Doctors, veterinarians, grooms, flag bearers, drummers, messengers, documents, etc. The Hundred General Banners have several servants each."

After reading it, Li Chunjiang nodded. He could see that this should be based on the organizational method of Qi Shaobao's actual military training. In the late Ming Dynasty, any military general would collect two military books, Qi Jiguang's actual military training and Ji Xiao's new book. Qi Shaobao became the god of war in the Ming Dynasty. His bravery and ability to fight in Zhejiang soldiers was a world-renowned attention. Therefore, the military books he wrote became the military textbooks that all the generals praised.

Liu Jun's organization is a bureau of three flags, the left and right flags belong to combat flags, and the middle flag belongs to non-combat flags, which are logistics support and command flags.

There are three teams under the left and right columns, each with twelve soldiers.

Liu Jun planned to try his best to establish a team organization according to Qi Shaobao's method. According to what Qi Shaobao's military book, first select the team general, and then ask the team general to select the ten combat soldiers of the team themselves, and finally give them the weakest fire soldiers in each team.

"Public album, I suggest that we two serve as the flag generals of the left and right flags. What do you think?" Li Chunjiang was the leader of this horse team, so he was naturally the 100-year-old general. Two of the three flags below were fighting flags. Liu Jun planned to bring one by himself, and then let Li Chunjiang take charge of one.

"No problem. How do you plan to choose these six teams?"

Li Chunjiang brought eight servants to the horse team, all of which were carefully selected by the Li family and veterans with experience in the battlefield. He should have picked six people from the team leader from the inside, but for other reasons, Liu Jun did not want this. He thought about it and said, "Public record, what do you think about this? You take care of the left flag, I take care of the right flag. The three team leaders of the left flag will pick three from your servants, and the three team leaders of the right flag will pick three from my brothers, so that the left and right flags will be more familiar with each other, how about?"

Li Chunjiang smiled without objection.

In the end, the matter was determined. Li Chunjiang led the left flag and Liu Jun led the right flag. Each of the three team leaders were the two of them, and the Ding brothers were the Ding brothers of each family.

"Zhang Shan, Wang Qian, Zhang Xiyu!"

"Come!" The second, third and fourth brothers in the Thirteenth Taishang Bao replied loudly.

Liu Jun said to the three, "From now on, you will be the team leader of the Queen City Horse Team Right Banner Team A, Team B, and Team C. Each team has twelve people. In addition to being the team leader, there are also ten other soldiers and one soldier. Now, you will choose your own ten soldiers."

Asking the captain to select the soldiers of his own team by himself is also a point that Qi Jiguang emphasized in his military books, and Liu Jun did not intend to change it.

Zhang Shan and the other two were appointed as captains with excitement. They acted quickly. They participated in the recruitment and assessment that day. Naturally, they knew which one was the best, and they all ran over to persuade those who performed the best to join them.

Zhang Shan and the other two were very smart. They first selected two brothers from the remaining nine Taibaos and appointed them as their sergeants, and then asked the two sergeants to recruit four combat soldiers.

This is the case with Li Chunjiang's left flag. Everyone first appointed the person they were most familiar with as their sergeant commanders. In the end, the twelve sergeant commanders began to compete for the best soldiers.

Among them, Wuxin and eight monks naturally became the focus of the competition. These monks are the best among the recruits, and the competition scene is very hot. In the end, someone even started rolling up their sleeves. In the end, Liu Jun suggested that the sergeants compete, and each victory could win a monk.

The other recruits also surrounded the side with relish, watching the duel between their respective bosses and squads. The competition even attracted many people from the city to watch.

The battle was very fierce, but it was required to stop. In the end, the sergeants decided the winner based on their own abilities. At the beginning, they only competed for eight monks, but as they competed, they simply had the qualifications to pick people for each victory. Everyone took turns to play, pick one in one match, and finally until all the strongest people were selected.

The twelve sergeants each relied on their abilities and picked up four subordinates.

The rest, some who have special abilities, were classified into the Zhongqi, mostly recruited by targeted people, veterinarians, doctors, drummers, etc. Then the rest were mostly those with the weakest skills.

These people were not selected, and they were all left.

They were a little embarrassed when they stood on the court.

At this time, Liu Jun stood up.

"You are now all listed as fire soldiers, and fire soldiers are auxiliary soldiers, which is one level lower than war soldiers. The rest of your monthly salary remains unchanged, but your salary is reduced from two liang to one liang. Of course, if you can practice your skills hard, you can still be promoted to the war soldiers sequence, and then the monthly salary will be restored to two liang. Similarly, those who are selected as war soldiers today will be demoted to auxiliary soldiers and their salary will be reduced to one liang. In short, how much salary can be obtained depends entirely on their respective abilities. In the future, the worst-capable war soldiers will be demoted to auxiliary soldiers. The auxiliary soldiers with outstanding performance can be promoted to war soldiers. Work hard."

When he heard this, several young people who were not selected and listed as fire soldiers stopped working and became angry.

Liu Jun glanced at them coldly, "I don't want to do anything, I don't force you. You can leave now, but before leaving, please hand over the Anjia silver and January advance bank sent to you."

In a word, those young people hesitated again. Although they were listed as fire soldiers, they were a little embarrassed and angry. They still had the opportunity to be promoted to war soldiers again. Moreover, even if they could only be auxiliary soldiers, there were still twelve taels a month, a year. In addition, six dou of monthly food, clothes, cloth and other items distributed every month, the treatment was actually quite good.

It's very difficult to leave as you say it.

In the end, these young people remained silent, and none of them really moved their legs and wanted to leave.

"Very good. Since you are willing to stay, you must abide by the rules of the horse team in the future. And I will tell you here in advance, don't think that since you have become a fire soldier, you will not be relegated again. Don't take this idea as soon as possible. Our horse team is not someone who can make money by living by life and food. Those who perform too poorly will be deported by us."

After sounding a wake-up call for these fire soldiers, Liu Jun divided a fire soldiers to each of the six teams.

Finally, Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang each chose four people as servants, and then selected personnel for the positions in the Central Banner. Among them, the military prison was equivalent to a military policeman, responsible for maintaining military discipline. If they were not taken at night, they were scouts. Liu Jun set up four military prisons, six of them were not taken at night. The remaining flag bearers and drummers were also available.

After the formation, the entire horse team was no longer in chaos. With organizations at all levels and officers at all levels, they had initially developed a team of atmosphere.

"Now, the generals of each team, General Wu came forward and led the military uniform." Liu Jun shouted loudly. The first batch of summer clothes were delivered to the Lu family's customized equipment.

Although the recruits were given a dress that day, these guys went home, showed off for a while, and saved their clothes. Today, none of them were left wearing them.

The people of Bailai stood there, still wearing monk's robes, and those who wore patches, all colors were colorful and green, without any neatness, like a group of beggars.

When you dress like this, where does the momentum come from?

A new set of military uniforms was distributed. Unlike the hot red military uniforms of the imperial court, the color of the clothes Liu Jun chose for his hometown bravery was blue and gray, well, the color of the military uniforms of the Eighth Route Army.

The batch of clothes made by the Lu family have good textures. Although they are just cloth, they are very handmade and the materials are also good. Especially the styles designed by Liu Jun, although they have not deviated from the styles of this era in general, they have improved.

After sending the clothes, Liu Jun asked them to change them immediately.

Everyone happily took off their old clothes and put on the brand new uniform. They immediately felt that they were much more mighty and even more confident.

Li Chunjiang showed joy in his eyes, "Okay, very good, this is the horse team I want."

At this time, Liu Jun brought the horse team flag sent by the Lu family together, "Public album, this is our flag."

Li Chunjiang took the flag, spread it out, tied it to the long flagpole, and waved it hard, and the flag immediately fluttered in the wind and flew. The fiery red flag was embroidered with a mighty and ferocious nine-headed bird.
