"But the situation here is obviously beyond our expectation … we only solved the livelihood of half the army at the very most … and the other half needs to be solved …"
At this time, Zhang Daotian once again said, "I have a way to solve the problem with 10 thousand troops left … so we have to adjust food from Shanxi again, or we can’t even hold on to the food we carry with us for a month …"
"It is absolutely not enough for such a large salt field to be protected by a musket regiment. I plan to organize an army to build a wall as high as one foot around the salt field at the same time."
"The close cooperation between 1,500 musketeers and the fence will definitely ensure that our Yantian secret will not be leaked for a short time."
With the tiger and leopard troops stationed in Laizhou Bay, some people with a heart led all kinds of rumors to spread to the army like a plague.
Of course, these rumors are all bad for the tiger and leopard army. It is said that the tiger and leopard army is here to rob everyone of their money and cut them off.
It is said that the Tiger and Leopard Army wants to build a military camp here and drive all the military departments away from their homes.
Of course, some people say that the Tiger and Leopard Army is here to grab territory …
However, as soon as this rumor appeared, teams of tigers and leopards escorted a large amount of food into the hundreds of scattered Laizhou Bay …
With the thunderous sound of gongs, hundreds of local troops were scattered. Although they were full of worries about their future and destiny, married with children still rushed to hundreds of training grounds out of fear of the government.
500 or 600 people got together and looked at some butch soldiers with confused and desperate expressions.
At this time a platoon leader suddenly came out.
After taking a deep breath, his loudest voice shouted.
"Dear military brothers, I believe that everyone should have heard of our identity. There is nothing wrong with us. We are from the Tiger and Leopard Army in Shanxi, which once wiped out tens of thousands of Mongols and the Tiger and Leopard Army in the late Jin Dynasty."
"Here I want to tell you that it is our butch army that is here, not to seize everyone’s home …"
"You heard those rumors are false. We butch army will never do anything sorry for everyone …"
"We, Tiger and Leopard Army, come here not only not to seize everyone’s home, but also to give everyone a better life than before, so that your family can eat enough and stop starving …"
See you face the outpouring of disbelief expression platoon leader continued
"I know that all military brothers don’t believe what I just said more than I no longer believe in the imperial court, but I want to say that we are from the Tiger and Leopard Army in Shanxi, not the official you used to be."
Speaking of which, the platoon leader directly points to several carts next to the desk and then continues to shout …
"Everyone has seen these grain wagons … there are 12,000 kilograms of grain here, and these grains are all going to be distributed by our Tiger and Leopard Army."
After hearing these words, the crowd of 500 or 600 people broke into a noisy discussion. 500 or 600 people looked at the food and their eyes were full of enthusiasm. They wanted to keep the food for themselves immediately.
At this moment, the platoon leader suddenly turned to continue, "Of course, our butch army will not give you these foods in vain, but you are very energetic, so you must exchange your own physical strength for these foods from us …"
"It takes a lot of workers to build a large number of buildings in Laizhou Bay when the Tiger and Leopard Army will come … We adults will give you a chance to pay 100 pence a day to help your brothers."
"If you want us to do things, the Tiger and Leopard Army can earn 100 pence a day."
"Of course, to ensure that every family of your military brothers can have the opportunity to earn this money, we adults especially require that every family recruit a young and strong person and ask everyone to sign up. I will give every family a home for every 100 kilograms of grain so that your family can have food for a month."
"A month later, our butch army will pay you wages on time at the price of one hundred pence a day …"
"When the time comes, your family will have a steady stream of wages to sell food. In addition, our Tiger and Leopard Army will give your family a chance not to earn money, so that everyone can get rid of this hunger day bit by bit."
"Well, I said … I’m willing to follow my butch army to work and get paid. I want you to sign up and get back one hundred jins of food …"
For these hungry soldiers who live only by cooking salt, 100 kilograms of grain and 100 pence a day are very fatal temptations.
You know, their only livelihood is cooking salt, even if the family goes out together, they can only harvest 20 kilograms. If they change it into silver, it will be 40 articles. Nowadays, the market can’t even buy a kilogram of food.
But now, it takes one person to do a day’s work to get a hundred pence … and others can continue to do other things to earn money.
One hundred pence is a full two catties of grain if the Ministry buys it.
It will be enough for everyone to eat white rice then.
As soon as the platoon leader’s words were finished, most of the troops rushed to the registration point with their eyes shining.
What’s more, I’m directly clamoring whether two people in a family can go to work more than three people, because the wages paid by the Tiger and Leopard Army are really too high for these troops …
However, some people think that the Tiger and Leopard Army, like the imperial court, said that they would not pay such high wages to everyone, but when they saw that the applicants really received 100 kilograms of glistening rice, this hesitation and worry disappeared completely.
In their eyes, 100 Jin of rice can be worth one and a half months’ wages.
When the time comes, if the Tiger and Leopard Army can’t pay itself on time, it’s a big deal to quit, and it’s fun to earn half a month’s wages …
It is with this idea that it took only one hour to lead the platoon leader to pick out the 100 best and strongest 125 people.
Chapter three hundred and sixty-one Chongzhen regretted it
At the same time, he scattered all over Laizhou Bay, and more than a dozen platoons returned to the temporary headquarters of Tiger and Leopard Army with a youth ranging from one hundred to two hundred.
When Guo-zhong He walked into thousands of lobbies, the regimental headquarters just came in with the data just counted.
In front of He Guozhong and Zhang Daotian, he reported, "Good news, General … Today, we brought back a total of 2,759 young people from each of the hundreds in Laizhou Bay …"
"Is it a pity that we can choose 1,000 of these 2,700 people?"
He Guozhong shook his head and replied, "Don’t be dissatisfied. It is already the limit to expand the musketeers from a battalion to a regiment … Any more will cause dissatisfaction with the Shandong Governor’s Office."
"Don’t be too greedy …"
"In addition, according to the understanding of the guard, our final strength will definitely be more than one regiment. After we really gain a foothold here, our strength will definitely be further expanded …"
"It seems that there are more than one thousand QingZhuang left, so that Zhang Daren can help us manage for the time being. When we receive the order to expand the army, Zhang Daren will definitely return these QingZhuang to us …"
After that, the defender’s face quickly became serious and ordered Wen Da in front of him. "Since we can pick out 1,000 people from these 2,000 people, we must pick out the strongest 1,000 people …"
"From the day our garrison picked soldiers from these people …"
Zhang Daotian around him did not show any dissatisfaction because of Wei Zheng’s words.
The guard confessed because he was away from the Datong mansion.
After entering Laizhou Bay, everything will be discussed by He Guozhong. What he has to do is to build Yantian as soon as possible and produce sea salt as soon as possible.
Besides, it is not brainless to be singled out by Kelly Y Zhou to manage Yantian Zhangdaotian.
Although he is behind the governor’s office in Shanshan, Zhang Daotian can’t guarantee that at least after the completion of this Yantian, he will be safe if he is alone without a strong army to protect him.
So Zhang Daotian is very aware of the importance of the phalanx of "military before Yantian"
He Guozhong just said Zhang Daotian and agreed, "I agreed with General He’s decision that the garrison would leave the rest to me to build the fence."
"From the day, I will continue to let Laizhou Bay recruit workers to strive for the salt field and the fence to start construction together for half a month to build five salt fields to produce sea salt …"
When thousands of green beaches in Laizhou Bay grew and salt pans and fences were repaired
Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away from Beijing, just received a letter from Sun Chengzong from Datong Prefecture to him.
After watching the throne, Emperor Chongzhen’s first thought was that he was sorry and had always supported himself in the crisis. He helped himself many times in defending the governor of Shanshan …
In Chongzhen’s eyes, since Wei Zheng didn’t mean anything to rebel, Wei Zheng went to defend himself and the court, and the court made various exploits … just like showing a movie, scene after scene appeared in front of Chongzhen.
After the end, I used to have all kinds of suspicions about Wei Zheng, and then I emerged in front of Chongzhen, making Chongzhen feel a little heartfelt and deeply regretful.
Suspicious and self-conscious, Chongzhen really wants to transfer him from the governor of Shanshan to Beijing if he is not suspicious of Weizheng. This theory can be called a loyal model for himself and the court. Weizheng would not have been attacked and seriously injured …
Sun Chengzong’s letter and thus the letter of the memorial, Chongzhen has agreed from the bottom of his heart to Sun Chengzong Yu Weizheng’s petition and decided to compensate him well.
Soon several cabinet ministers and six ministers were called to the hall by Emperor Chongzhen overnight.
After reading the memorial to everyone, Chongzhen did not hesitate to ask directly, "What are your opinions and thoughts on Sun Aiqing’s memorial?"
I have always been in the same camp with Wei Zheng, and I was besieged by a number of ministers for talking to Wei Zheng in the court a few days ago. The command of the Royal Guards made Luo Yangyang feel like the hungry wolf was the first to smell blood after listening to the memorial. His eyes flashed and he said, "My courtiers finally recognized Wei’s adult as a loyal official in the court. You can’t believe Wei’s adult and doubt Wei’s adult just because of some rumors."
"Now the attack on Wei’s adult is proof that Wei’s adult’s country and people’s hearts are in such a situation that the court must not let a big loyal minister be so chilling to the court."
"I implore positions to agree with Sun’s adult to play … in addition, the court will take this opportunity to further reward Wei’s adult and let Wei’s adult continue to feel that the court attaches importance to him …"
