Chapter 599 Captain
"Go to the physical examination first," Zhang Chunniu said with a smile: "Register again, and then the family members go to the family area to wait for the boat. After you pass the physical examination, you will be assigned to the company after the registration is completed, and then you will know your own training sergeants and Shangguans. Next, you will receive daily training. This is what it is before the ship arrives. If you violate military discipline, you will be slightly slaughtered, and you will be able to start a new life. After all, this is the territory of Dongjiang Town. We will not talk about people who deliberately do not uphold military discipline. You must remember this point. Chinese})].)?]>>.>c]om"
After listening quietly, Ma Rong said, "Do you have any money to settle down?"
Zhang Chunniu smiled and said, "Your family members follow us. We have to provide food. When we arrive, we will help you open up land and farm. In this way, we will have money to settle down. But you will have military pay next month. We and Yu have a lot of money to pay, which is much better than you in Liao Town."
Ma Rong and Ma Xian were speechless at this point. Ma's mother watched Ma Jie eat, and the two brothers strode towards the place where He Yusheng recruited personnel.
When the recruiting site was about to reach the recruitment site, the two brothers saw that there were already people queuing up, but fortunately there were not too many people. At this time, they looked behind them and saw that there were many people like the black-faced man just now talking to people in the crowd, and then they kept coming here.
Ma Xian spat on the ground and said, "This black guy is not like an officer, but like a flower-shot."
Ma Rong said: "See if what he said is really not true. If it is not true, go back and beat him hard later."
Everyone was still a little uneasy. They were so hard on Pi Island, but at least they were not far from their hometown. If they had applied for the recruitment, they would have to go thousands of miles south at once. If they hadn't had such concerns, He Yusheng's more than 3,000 troops would have been fully recruited, and everything else on Pi Island was short of, but people had it.
Soon the Ma brothers were lined up, and a soldier in gray robe came up to him. He asked Ma Rong and Ma Xian how old they were, where they lived before, and who were still in the family. While asking, Ma Rong and Ma Xian were shocked to see the record of the soldier's pen using a hard pen. They were also from military households and had met many soldiers, including officers from the garrison and Liao Town. There were very few soldiers who could write in their memories.
After registration, the soldier's face was very enthusiastic. He said to the Ma brothers: "Brother Ma Rong and Brother Ma Xian, after registration, we will go and test our health. As long as there is no epidemic or hidden disease, even if we and Yusheng's soldiers are not allowed, we will be brothers when we enter the camp. We must take care of each other and protect each other on the battlefield. We can entrust our backs to our comrades like brothers, and use our lives to protect our brothers around us. We usually wear the same robes and boots, and even the officers are the same. But everyone has different military ranks and food. We usually eat meat every day, and we can eat cakes, and we can treat each other for free when we get sick, and our family members will also receive care..."
The soldier was very sincere. Ma Rong and Ma Xian couldn't believe what he said at all, but both of his brothers felt warm. Not to mention the escape along the way, there was also such a death on Pi Island. Even when he was in Yaozhou, no one said such words to them.
While speaking, the soldier took their team to a temporary tent. He said to everyone: "After entering, listen to the military doctor's words, everyone who passes the test will be brothers in the same camp."
Ma Rong felt a little uneasy, and he said, "My brother is a little thin."
"It's okay." The sergeant smiled and said, "The military doctor will see."
The Ma brothers had to wait with peace of mind. Fortunately, the inside was very fast. The people who came out of the tent changed their clothes directly, which were the short gray cotton jackets, with the logo of He Yusheng, as well as boots, warm hats, and gloves. They looked much warmer. Ma Rong and Ma Xian felt a lot hotter.
The black short man who grabbed porridge was in front of the Ma brothers. After he was about to go in, he turned to Ma Rong and said, "It's wrong for me to grab porridge first, but you almost hurt me just now. If we all got the test, this matter will be exposed."
Ma Rong snorted, without answering.
Finally, Ma Rong called out inside, and the tent was lifted up. Ma Rong bent over and went in and saw a few officers in gray robe sitting inside, all with smiles on their faces.
Seeing the thin boy, Huang Yu'an said, "Come on."
Ma Rong strode forward, Huang Yu'an nodded and said, "I'm not old, not tall, and thin, but I'm still energetic and courageous."
As he said that, he touched the bone first, and asked Ma Rong to take off his robe, press his abdomen, and asked Ma Rong to turn around. Ma Rong felt uncomfortable, but he still did as he told him.
"Fortunately, I am healthy, but judging from the size of my body, I am suitable for the position of gunner or baggage. Depending on the training situation of his enlistment, I will judge whether he can adapt to the physical training of the cavalry and artillery level."
Ma Rong saw Huang Yu'an stamping a seal on the form where he remembered his name. Then the military doctor pushed a box of red mud and said, "Press the handprint, then put on the military robe, and then take the form to leave the tent."
"Yes, I know." Ma Rong didn't know what he was thinking, so he agreed, pressed his handprint and walked to the side. Someone handed him a thick gray jacket. Ma Rong's old robe had been ragged. He had just taken off at the door, and the stove was growing in the tent, and it was not very cold. Ma Rong was about to put on his robe.
The man said, "Take off all the underwear and replace it with a new lining."
Ma Rong said: "My clothes are not very torn."
The man said impatiently: "One person has three underwear and three-piece underwear to change, and you will be given new ones every now and then. The outer robe is also a set of regular clothes and training clothes, all piled up in the package over there. You can carry it away by yourself later. It is best to ask someone to embroider your name on the robe so that you won't be confused in the future."
Ma Rong took off his underwear in a daze. A servant had already come to put away the old clothes that everyone had removed. After Ma Rong changed into a new underwear lined and put on a thick military jacket, he suddenly smelled the sour smell of the old clothes coming out of his nose.
When Ma Rong put on his robe, Ma Xian came over with a happy look on his face. He also wore a new robe and carried a cloth package full of robes. He said to Ma Rong: "No wonder people say that Yusheng is rich. If you come up with this pile of robes, it will be worth at least several taels of silver."
Ma Rong nodded, and the two brothers walked out of the tent together. There was a gray-robed soldier waiting outside. A dozen people gathered together, each of whom was confused. When the soldier saw the Ma brothers come out, he said with a smile: "Two brothers, you have passed the test. From now on, you will be members of the recruit company and our comrades-in-law brothers and Yusheng."
Ma Rong felt warm in his heart, and then heard the soldier say, "You just happened to get a small team of twelve people. Bo Zhuangzhi is the oldest and he is the temporary captain."
Ma Rong looked over and saw that it was the short black man who was snatching Ma Jie porridge and was grinning. The man was wearing a new robe and bowed to everyone with a smile on his face. Seeing Ma Rong glance at him coldly, Bo Zhuangzhi's face froze and his eyes were avoiding him.
Ma Rong said to the soldiers who were named Bo, "This guy with the surname Bo is not a good person, I don't agree to being the captain."
He Yusheng's soldier said seriously: "This brother should not say such things next time. In He Yusheng, military orders are the first priority. Whatever Shangguan says is, unless he can speak freely when convening a meeting. He will never be allowed to question military orders in normal times. You are newly enlisted in the army. Someone will explain the regulations to you in the past few days. If you commit it again, you must accept military discipline punishment. If you do not change it repeatedly, you have to go out and deprive everything you have given to you now."
Ma Rong was so stern when he heard this. He was still half frozen just now. Now he was wearing a thick cotton jacket and felt very warm and comfortable. Everyone returned cotton gloves, which were lined with rabbit fur. He was not afraid of frosting his hands when wearing them on his hands. He was warm and protected his ears. It was worth fighting for such a robe in a place like Liaodong. If he was dismantled for a trivial matter, it would be really not worth the loss.
The soldier said again: "The temporary captain is just a temporary designation. It depends on who follows the military discipline, trains hard, and unites the brothers in the team. Everyone is convinced. There are many tricks here. You recruits need to look at their respective officials, namely the flag captain and the sergeant. How the sergeant commanders do it. Some of them have been veterans of soldiers for five or six years, and some have just joined the army last year. They are all excellent members of our and Yusheng teams to get to this point. I hope that next year, you will be one of them."
The soldier said kindly: "Don't take it all without caring about it. The officers of our banner captain level will receive a salary of more than 100 taels a year and will also be distributed to land. If they cannot read, they can become soldiers of the same level, and their military salary is no less than that of officers."
A salary of one hundred taels!
Everyone nodded secretly, this is what everyone wants most!
...
In the past ten days, He Yusheng recruited more than 3,000 soldiers. The efforts of Zhang Chunniu and other military personnel were also very important. The Liao people were relatively unfamiliar with He Yusheng and had doubts about the far south. However, seeing that He Yusheng was treated well, Zhang Chunniu and others kept working hard, they finally recruited all the personnel.
In addition, the limitations of Dongjiang Town also have some obstacles. After all, there is a clause that recruits soldiers and family members must be accompanied by small families. Some bachelors cannot accept them if they want to join the army. They can only recruit strong men with their families around them. This requires increasing publicity. Fortunately, the military department and the officers are very effective, and this matter has been done at least.
After the tenth day of the lunar month, two more boats came to deliver supplies. The boat before went to Tianjin to replenish supplies, and then continued to come over.
