Chapter 580: Enthusiastic Recruitment


In order to recruit new soldiers and recruit brave soldiers, Zhao Ming ordered the feudal government to offer excellent conditions.At the same time, the Propaganda Department of the Party Affairs Department of the Kuomintang also created a campaign for conscription, publicized the benefits of colonization in the South Seas, and described Taiwan, Luzon and other places as fertile paradises.For this reason, the Propaganda Department has specially found several typical examples, all of which have changed their fate after joining the army.Originally, he was just a child of a poor family, his family was poor, he farmed for the landlord, and after joining Donghai Town, he was given dozens of acres of military land, and his military merits were replaced by nearly 100 acres of military land, and he became a landlord after retiring.Now his wife and children are hot on the kang, there are a few cows, and several North Korean tenants help with farming, and they are living a rent-collecting life that they didn't dare to imagine before.In Zhao Ming's view, these copywriters are really not at a good level, but they are very attractive to people who have not been exposed to too many false advertisements and have caused huge repercussions.After the peace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, for the people, there was no reason to join the army, the military salary was not much, and there was a danger to their lives, so it was better to work in the workshop.Now the people have a reason, which is not about the general righteousness, but about their own interests.Righteousness and slogans should be shouted, but after all, they can't be eaten, and for the vast majority of ordinary people, they still attach more importance to their own interests.Zhao Ming does not object to the pursuit of profits by the people, on the contrary, he also believes that the drive of interests is more useful and long-lasting than just shouting slogans, and can provide a steady stream of power for outward expansion.Under the temptation of interests and propaganda, some young people gradually gathered in the recruitment places in Jiangdong counties, and in some places there were long queues.In the east of Suzhou, more than a dozen soldiers stood with guns next to the city gate, and several scribes sat at the table, busy registering the information of the applicants.Previously, Donghai Town selected soldiers, mainly from the tun army, and the quality would not be too bad, but before the expansion of Donghai Town, a group of troops were selected from the tun army, and now more than 30,000 people will be recruited at once, so a group can only be selected from the people.Of course, although the recruitment was not smooth, Donghai Town still had to conduct a simple test, rather than accepting all kinds of people to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.First, the medical officer screened the soldiers to make sure that they were healthy and did not carry dark diseases or epidemics, and then asked them to hold up a pair of stone locks to make sure that they were strong, and finally asked for their identities, giving priority to workshop employees and tenants.At this time, a burly man walked to the front, easily lifted a pair of stone locks, and threw the stone locks into the sky by the way, and in an exclamation, he took them in his hand again.This trick immediately caused a burst of applause from many young people, and he was obviously a practitioner.Zhao Ming happened to be inspecting the recruitment, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but say to his subordinates, and after a while, the burly man was brought forward.Zhao Ming smiled and said, "What's your name, have you practiced before?"

”In the first battle of Jiangbei, Donghai Town suffered heavy losses, Ding Weiyue, Wang Deshun and others were all killed, Zhao Ming saw the man in front of him, and he gave birth to a heart of love.The man didn't panic when he saw Zhao Ming, and saluted with his fists, "The villain Liu Qian is all some tricks handed down by the ancestors. ”Zhao Ming listened to his accent and couldn't help asking, "Are you a northern military household?"

”Liu Qian nodded, "Hui Dashuai, the villain Shanxi Daizhou military household, recently settled here, working in the Huaxing Workshop. ”"Shanxi Daizhou?"

Zhao Ming was a little surprised, so he smiled and said: "In this marshal army, there is a Xie Qian, and now he is the head of the first army, your name is Liu Qian, and Ben Shuai hopes that you can do a good job and make some achievements." ”Zhao Ming patted him on the shoulder, then turned to the registered clerk and said, "Record him in the first book!"

”After speaking, Zhao Ming led his subordinates to leave and returned to the governor's mansion, and on the way Zhao Ming asked again: "Recently, there are many Han people from the north, have they come to Jiangnan?"

”"After the peace between the north and the south, the Manchu Qing carried out a great purge of the anti-Qing forces in the north, and set out to weaken the power of the Han generals, implement high-pressure rule, and persecute the Han people.Gao Huan, the military intelligence secretary who followed him, hurriedly replied.Zhao Ming nodded when he heard this, it seems that after the peace negotiation, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not idle, on the one hand, he sent Yue Le, the king of the county, to sit in Shenyang, gathered 30,000 horses, harassed Liaodong and Korea, and wanted to drive Donghai Town into the sea, while purging the internal rebel forces, obviously unwilling to fail.Xie Qian sent news from Pyongyang, North Korea, that Yue Le used cavalry tactics to raid Donghae Town's stronghold in Liaodong, causing Donghae Town to suffer relatively large losses.Zhao Ming was angry in his heart, and he wanted to give up Liaodong, but Zhao Ming knew very well in his heart that the ambition of the Manchu wolf was like a hungry wolf, wandering outside the fence, and once he had the opportunity, he would definitely go south again and bite the Ming Dynasty.With Liaodong in hand, the Manchus could not go south with all their might, Zhao Ming still didn't do it in the end, he really didn't care about the world's major affairs, so in the face of the Manchu provocation and the support of the imperial court, he still did not withdraw his troops from Liaodong, but fought with the Qing army in Liaodong.Zhao Ming groaned: "The ambition of the slave wolf son, the heart of the death of me will not die."

The Heaven and Earth Society and the Military Intelligence Department must pay attention to people from the north, so as not to mix in. ”The Tiandihui is mainly to reconnoiter and listen to external military intelligence, and operates in enemy theaters and areas controlled by hostile forces, while the Military Intelligence Department was recently established by Zhao Ming for the purpose of monitoring internally."

It's handsome!"

Gao Huan hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, with a respectful attitude.Outside Suzhou, around the workshop gathering area, is a low and messy shantytown, in which more than 100,000 poor people come to Suzhou to beg for a living.At this time, outside a thatched hut, a woman in her twenties was cooking porridge on a small stove, and next to a child of six or seven years old was playing with a group of children."

Amin!"

Liu Qian came over with a bag of flour and called out, and the little boy immediately rushed over when he saw this, "Daddy!

”Liu Qian threw the flour at the door, picked up the little boy, and walked to the woman, "Lady, I know that you still can't eat rice, so I bought a bag of noodles and came back." ”The woman was busy wiping her hands, and couldn't help asking, "Xianggong, where did you get the money, could it be that the workshop is going to provide food?"

”Liu Qian put the child down and asked him to play with his friends, then pulled the woman aside and said in a low voice: "Lady, let me tell you something, don't be angry, I was recruited into the army and joined Donghai Town." ”The woman was stunned for a moment, and tears poured out instantly, "Xianggong, the court is no longer fighting, what are you still doing in the army?"

We finally escaped from Daizhou, and now that you are in the workshop, the monthly money is enough for our family to live, why do you want to join the army again, have you thought about me and my children?

”Seeing this, Liu Qian, the burly man, was a little flustered, and hurriedly explained: "Lady, I am not here to kill the Tartars this time, but for you."

Zhao Dashuai of Donghai Town posted a notice, and he was given 30 acres of land when he joined the army, and I was selected as the first register, and was given 40 acres of land, 10 taels of settling-in allowance, meritorious service in the future, and meritorious land.Working in the workshop is a stable income, but I don't want to just do nothing. ”The woman cried: "But I just want my husband to be safe and sound, by my side and Ming'er." ”Liu Qian hugged the woman into his arms, stroked her back, and sighed: "But I have to earn a family business for Ming'er and you, and I can't let you suffer with me."

Well, stop crying.I'll have to go to the camp to report later, and the child will rely on you in the future." ”()
