soldiers and buying horses

Returning to the past few days, people come and go, like a bustling metropolis, and have not been affected by the destruction of the city.

The reason why it is so lively is that the ten thousand Song army, under the command of Zheng Tai, rebuild the conversion. Rebuilding and converting is the top priority and must be completed before the Liao army invades the territory again.

After the Liao army suffered a great defeat, they would definitely not be convinced and would come to find a place. Therefore, reconstruction and conversion are the top priority. In addition to defensive conversion, the most important task of the 10,000 Song troops transferred by Wang Shao was to participate in reconstruction.

The Conversion Army was basically disabled, and it was impossible to defend the Conversion by relying on the power of conversion. Similarly, because there were too few converts, the Conversion Army could not rebuild the Conversion before the Liao army invaded the territory again.

As for the time when the Liao army invaded the territory, everyone unanimously believed that it was next spring. It took a lot of time for the Liao army to re-summon, and it would be impossible to complete it without three or two months. Rebuilding the conversion within three or two months is not a big deal, but it is also a difficult task.

Not only did he use these 10,000 Song troops to rebuild, Zheng Tai also used the power of converting and recruited migrant workers. This required wages. However, after this battle, the gold and silver funds seized from converting were used, not to mention that the court also allocated special money. The wages were very generous. Although the work was very hard and tiring, the people actively participated.

The reconstruction matter was mainly handled by Zheng Tai, Wu Ji, Huangfu Song and Qi Dabao were mainly responsible for recruiting the army. Wu Ji was promoted to commander of the Converted Army. His army had a total of five battalions and 2,500 people. It would be a big problem to recruit them suddenly. No one could tell whether they could recruit enough.

The main target of recruiting soldiers in the Song Dynasty was refugees, mainly in the years when natural disasters occurred. Now, if there are no refugees, they have to recruit people with families and careers, which was a great difficulty in the Song Dynasty. What caused this situation was that the Song army had a low social status. Whenever they served in the army, they had to be tattooed and were inferior to others. They called them thieves and were called to be a thief and were beaten by others. Who would have nothing to do to join the army and be looked down upon?

Second, corruption has become a trend in the Song army, and military pay is deducted. Joining the army means suffering. Not only does it take for food and drink, but it also has to make cattle and horses for the superiors and perform rebates, and even their wives and children will suffer.

Besides, it is the soldiers who fight, and the officials who receive the merits. It is common for them to take me greed for merit and make merits. The most famous thing about taking merits is that Han Shizhong captured Fang La alive, but seized military merits for Xin Qingzong, which made Han Shizhong regretful throughout his life.

The time for the Liao army to invade the border is coming. Before the Liao army invades in the spring, we must train a strong army. Otherwise, if we don’t have the ability to guard the situation, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Although Wu Ji had the secret of Wang Shao, no one could tell how Yelu Hongji decided, so he should be prepared for it. The goal is to set in the spring of the following year.

Wu Ji was not sure about recruiting soldiers. It is hard to say whether he could recruit 2,500 people. Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song and Qi Dabao were also worried. They didn't expect it. As soon as the news came out, countless people came to register after hearing the news. Not to mention recruiting 2,500 people, it would not be a problem to recruit 2,500 people.

As for the reason, you can know from these conversations with Ding Zhuang.

"Do you have a family?" Li Mingchu looked at a very strong Ding Zhuang and asked loudly.

"Report to Commander Li, the young ones have old ones, the younger ones have young ones, and a wife, son and daughter." Ding Zhuang was about twenty-three or four years old. When he mentioned his family, his eyes shone. He was very proud. It can be imagined that their young life was good.

"Why did you come to join the army?" Li Mingchu continued to ask.

"Commander Li, you know that the commander of Wu Du is honest and does not deduct military pay, does not beat and scold the eldest son, and does not deceive his family. If you join the Converted Army, you will have a good life. I can get a military pay, and the husband's family can also work in the Wu family's military work, and have a generous salary, which is more cost-effective than farming." Ding Zhuang was a loyal man. As he spoke, he kept wrenching his fingers and settled the accounts one by one.

"Don't you be the army for the Song Dynasty?" Li Mingchu rolled his eyes and shouted: "Are you not joining the army for the Song Dynasty? Are you not you serving your country with your own strength to defeat Liao Gou?"

Ding Zhuang was shocked and quickly changed his words: "Thank you Commander Li to teach me. The young man joined the army to serve the court, to fight against Liao dogs, and to avenge his ancestors."

He said in a hurry, looking nervous and frightened, his forehead was sweating, obviously very scared.

"Nonsense! The genius believed it!" Li Mingchu rolled his eyes, very angry.

Let's tell the truth, Li Mingchu wanted to scold him. He told a lie, but he was rolled his eyes. Ding Zhuang didn't know what to do, and sweat kept pouring out on his forehead, which was extremely anxious.

Li Mingchu saw his appearance and couldn't help but feel a little funny. He smiled and said, "Brother, let me tell you. In the future, someone will ask you this. You will say that it is to serve the court and to avenge your ancestors. Don't say that it is because the commander of Wu Du, have you heard it clearly?"

"I heard it clearly, I heard it clearly!" Ding Zhuang nodded quickly, and said a little puzzled, "Commander Li, this... Commander Wu Du is such a good person. If it weren't for his position as the chief, I wouldn't have been to this soldier no matter what."

"You are so stubborn! So stupid!" Li Mingchu lowered his voice and woke him up, "The Commander of Wu Du is of course a good person. If it weren't for him, we would have died long ago. However, it is precisely because the Commander of Wu Du, we cannot let him go. We have to follow him so that we can have a good life. As you say, you are in the army because of Commander of Wu Du. If you hear it, you will not have written a book? If you tell someone that Commander of Wu Du has raised private soldiers, wouldn't it harm Commander of Wu Du?"

"Haha!" Ding Zhuang touched his head, blushing, feeling embarrassed.

"In my heart, you should know that you are in the army because of Wu Du's command, do you understand?" Li Mingchu's voice turned low.

"I understand! I understand!" Ding Zhuang nodded quickly and then asked nervously: "Commander Li, that little soldier..."

"It's taken!" Li Mingchu waved his hand and the matter was settled.

"Thank you Commander Li! Thank you Commander Li!" Ding Zhuang couldn't help but thank you and muttered: "Commander Wu is such a good person. This time, you don't need to tattoo your name. In the future, when I meet someone, I don't have to lower my orders. If there is a generous military salary, if the husband can go to the Wu family to work in the military work, then it will be over."

"Look at your promising prospect!"

Li Mingchu slapped Ding Zhuang on the forehead with a very annoyed voice, saying, "Follow the commander of Wu Du, there will be endless benefits. You don't have to worry about military pay. Commander of Wu will never deduct a single point. As for the work of the Wu family's military work, as long as you are honest and you train hard, there will be no problem. The most important thing is that you will always win battles, be promoted to the head of the capital, and be the commander of the battalion, etc., don't worry. Tell you, boy, I'm also going to follow the commander of Wu Du to command wars and be a general! General, do you understand?"

The more Li Mingchu said, the more proud he became. His head was high and his chest was erect, like a rooster crowing. Among the Converted Army, he was the most proud and moved.

Thinking about the first time I met Wu Ji, I was just shouting for a fight and killing. My family had no money and had to take risks. It was Wu Ji's arrival that made him change his lifestyle. Not only was the child born, but now, he also became the commander of the camp. In the past, he could not dream of it.

Not all Ding Zhuang who came to Yingmo came, but most of them came to Yingmo because of Wu Ji. This time, there was one special feature of Zhaomo, which was that he no longer tattooed characters. This was definitely an anomaly in the Song Dynasty, that is, famous generals like Di Qing had to tattoo characters, but only Wu Ji dared not to tattoo characters.

In the north and on the border, the people had deep hatred with the Liao Kingdom. As long as they were given a chance, the people would all be willing to join the army and avenge their ancestors. However, a tattoo made countless people afraid of it and were unwilling to join the army.

This alone is enough to cause a sensation. It is impossible to respond if the people in the border do not come.

Not to mention, Wu Ji's reputation is made, and real achievements are right in front of him. Who would not believe it? Wu Ji is upright, honest and does not deduct military pay. With this point, many people can join the army. The military pay of the Song Dynasty was actually very generous and could support the family, mainly because of corruption, which caused bad consequences.

The most important thing is that if he joined the Converted Army, trained hard and honestly, his family had the opportunity to join the Wu military work. The wages of the Wu military work were not expensive, but particularly generous. Working in the Wu military work was much more cost-effective than planting crops.

With these advantages, it is not enough to come and respond.

Wu Ji, Huangfu Song and Qi Dabao were inspecting everywhere, seeing the lively scene in their eyes, and couldn't help but sigh and relieved the original heart.

"Commander Wu, look at the name of a person and the shadow of a tree. If you hadn't had such a reputation, it would be difficult for us to recruit him." Ding Zhuang, who was actively signing up, was very moved.

Ding Zhuang, who succeeded, was excited, but Ding Zhuang, who did not rise up, was dejected and hung his head, like a defeated rooster.

"Look, this time Ying Mo's Ding Zhuang is good in figure. Look at this, she is so strong, like an iron tower. And this one is so strong. Oh my God, these Ding Zhuang are just like this even the imperial guards." Qi Dabao's eyes kept slipping around Ding Zhuang, and his eyes became brighter and brighter, just like a pervert meeting a beauty, so he could move away.

Ding Zhuang, who came to Ying Mo, was very strong, and many of them were as strong as cows. This was like the refugees he had recruited in the past, one in the sky and the other in the ground. The quality of this soldier was incomparable.

Under normal circumstances, the Song army recruited refugees, all of whom were pale and thin, malnourished, and like thin dogs. It is very rare for Ding Zhuang to come to Momo to come.

"This time, I not only recruited soldiers, but also solved the problem of the Wu military industry's manpower." Wu Ji looked at the crowd and saw that many Ding Zhuang's family were very strong and simple. If they were allowed to enter the Wu military industry, the manpower would be solved.
Chapter completed!
