Chapter 805 Recruiting New Army
Gao Yihuan and his party came to the barracks with horseshoes, and saw a mighty team running around the barracks in the snow on the trail outside the barracks.

Gao Yihuan reined in his horse. These were the local bandits and rebels recruited by the Western Wei Kingdom in southern Shanxi. They would be trained intensively for three months. Those with good qualities would be assigned to the C-type battalion, while those who were not good could only be assigned to the D-type battalion. For local security and supplementary troops.

Now the rule of the Qing court in Hedong has collapsed, and the Western Wei Dynasty has not yet fully taken over. There is a vacuum in local power.

These people are not engaged in production. If they are not dealt with as soon as possible, they will definitely endanger the local area.

Now the entire Hedong is roughly divided into several large parts. Taiyuan City is occupied by Azig. Taiyuan Mansion and the north of Dingzhou are controlled by Jiang Xiang and Li Jiantai. million people.

Among the remaining state capitals, those located on major traffic routes or important passes were controlled by the Wei army.

Those located in the corners, such as many counties in the Luliang Mountains in the west, were occupied by rebels and local bandits.

The current strategy of the Western Wei Dynasty is to incorporate first, and if it cannot be incorporated, then they will meet with swordsmen and quickly destroy them.

At this time, more than 3000 new recruits were running panting one by one. When the leader saw Gao Yihuan and his party, he hurriedly yelled at his subordinates, "Keep running, run around again, and return to the camp for dinner!"

After he confessed, he left the team, ran towards Gao Yihuan, ran up to him, bowed on one knee and said, "Your Majesty Guangtai sees the King!"

"Thank you!" Gao Yi smiled and nodded, then looked at the soldiers running around, and asked with a smile, "How is the training of the new soldiers?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, these recruits basically don't know anything, and they don't have discipline, but they are all peasants, relatively honest, and their physical strength is not bad. After practicing for a few months and seeing blood, their abilities should be between C and D. between."

"Hardness and hard work are the traits of the vast majority of people." Gao Yihuan nodded and asked again, "Are there any deserters?"

Wang Guangtai said: "Some escaped, mainly the leaders of the local bandits. They were used to being free and unrestrained, and they couldn't stand restraint. More than a dozen people escaped. Ordinary soldiers can eat enough, have land, and money. Most likely I will not be a deserter."

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, "Those who escape will be arrested. These people are all unstable factors."

"The Military Justice Department has sent people to hunt them down, but the feudal government does not want to completely control Hedong, so it is more difficult to catch them all!"

Gao Yihuan thought it was the same, and stopped complaining now, but explained: "If the training intensity is relatively high, the food must keep up, so that the soldiers can not only eat enough, but also occasionally see the meat."

Wang Guangtai showed joy on his face, "The officers and men on behalf of the officers and soldiers thank you for your kindness!"

Gao Yi smiled happily, "Okay, then you can continue to practice! If you need anything, you can always ask Gu Wang for it, or find Xing Hao, and he will report it to Gu Wang."

"I understand!" Wang Guangtai immediately cupped his fists, "I will take my leave first."

After speaking, he trotted away and continued to train the soldiers.

Gao Yihuan and his party entered the camp and looked around casually, while the person in charge of military supplies said happily, "Your Majesty, I transferred five thousand tents from Guanzhong, plus the captured Qing army's tents, enough for the King to recruit one hundred thousand troops in Hedong, but There are still some gaps in the armor and weapons, and I have sent people to Huguang to transport them, and it will probably take a while before they arrive."

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, entered the military tent, looked at the bunks of the soldiers, and reached out to touch the beds. The bottom was covered with thatch and the quilt was very thin.

"It's freezing cold now, that's not acceptable!" Gao Yihuan said with a frown as he picked up the quilt.

"Your Majesty, all the reserves in Guanzhong have been brought in, and the Ministry of War can't do anything about it now. After all, there is a huge demand for supplies with a [-] army."

Gao Yihuan also knew this, and changed his tone: "Didn't you copy out 200 million taels, spend more money, collect it from the people, and buy it from Huguang and Jiangnan. In short, we must find a way to solve it."

Wei Jun broke through Jiexiu, Lingshi and other places. After interrogation, it was found that the Fan family and other families really began to transfer their wealth to Zhangjiakou after Wei Jun broke through Pujin Pass.

Zhangjiakou was an important pass for trade between the Qing court and Mongolia. The Fan family moved here, and it seems that they were not optimistic about the Qing army, so that they could escape outside the pass when the situation was not good.

However, although the Fan family and other families transferred a lot of wealth in advance, Wei Jun still dug out more than 200 million taels from several cellars.

This made Gao Yihuan covet Zhangjiakou, but he has no way to reach Zhangjiakou at this time, so he can only raise it for a while and take it later.

A group of people walked around the camp before Gao Yihuan led the others to leave the barracks and head towards Fenyang City.

At this time, the sky and the earth were covered with snow, and there were no people on the road, but there was smoke in the villages on both sides of the official road, showing that the lives of the people had returned to the right track.

Not long after, Gao Yihuan and his party rushed to Fenyang City, but many people gathered outside the city gate. They gathered around the notice, and someone shook their heads and read: "The king of Wei told the elders of the Hedong villagers that the Tartars have not been eliminated, and the bandits in Hedong are in trouble." Again. In order to get rid of the Tartars and protect the villagers, the Great Wei specially recruited strong men from all over the world. Heroes from all over the world were recruited as soldiers. Anyone who is recruited will be given ten acres of military land and tax-free for three years. Heroic men are expected to apply enthusiastically , defending the homeland, expelling the Tartars, and doing great things together.”

Gao Yihuan was wearing ordinary clothes, and the people didn't know his identity. He rode into the city without attracting much attention.

In the city, several Wei soldiers stood with spears, and a small official sat at the table, and there was already a long line in front of them.

On the other side, several officers were testing the recruited soldiers. As long as they were not missing arms or legs and could lift a fifty-jin stone lock, they would be considered qualified.

Of course, if you have special skills, you can also use the sword and spear on the weapon rack. Although the army does not rely on individual bravery, brave people will undoubtedly be more likely to stand out.

At this time, a man easily lifted the stone lock with one hand, which attracted a burst of applause, and then swung the sword vigorously, which made the soldiers in the test admire them very much.

"Excellent sword skills, record his name in Bing Ce!"

After Gao Yihuan passed the interrogation, he didn't stop his horse. There were hundreds of thousands of Wei troops, and there were a lot of talents. A man with some skills could not attract special treatment from him.

"Your Majesty, look at the situation, one hundred thousand troops will be recruited in a short time!" Chen Mingxia said with a smile.

Gao Yihuan was also very satisfied with the speed of the recruitment. "Actually, I have to thank the Tatars for being able to recruit so quickly. If the Qing army hadn't raided too hard and the people had no surplus food, how could so many people join the army."
