Chapter 207 Auxiliary Soldiers (1)
Seeing Cons arrive, the guard at the door immediately shouted, "Today's recruitment is temporarily over, please early tomorrow." After saying that, he ignored the noise of the people and closed the door.
Seeing that the gate was closed, the strong man on the school ground became a little turbulent. The guard whipped a few times and shouted: "Silent! The sir is here!"
When the strong men heard the term "Sir" they immediately closed their mouths and looked at Cons.
At this time, the personal guards who had already sorted out the list came forward to report: "Sir, there are 3,512 strong men who have come to register this time. Among them, there are 2,134 farmers, 782 hunters, and 596 friends, all over 18 years old, but half of them are over 25 years old. I am afraid that more than 3,000 people can be recruited when the door is outside."
Kons was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Xiangwen and Weijie.
Cons was very clear that without the instructions of these two guys, the guard would not have claimed to change his orders without authorization.
Seeing Cons turn his head and say with great help, "Sir, I know that there are not many young and strong people in Tianjin. If I hadn't given them a special instruction to pay attention, even if I recruit the whole city of youth and strong people, there might be less than one team."
Wei Jie, who was not a good person, was immediately startled when he heard this and wanted to pull Xiangwen's sleeve, but when he saw Cons's eyes on him, he didn't dare to move around and complained secretly.
Cons found that Xiangwen had not realized the mistake at all, so he sighed and turned around and said to the guards: "Carefully check the age of the tycoons. Those who are under 18 and over 25 years old, let them retreat aside."
When Xiang Wen heard this, he immediately wanted to object, but Wei Jie covered his mouth.
Xiang Wen, who originally wanted to get angry, couldn't help but feel trembling when he saw the stern warning expression in Wei Jie's eyes. Although he didn't know what was going on, Xiang Wen knew that something was wrong.
When Cons stepped forward a few steps to watch the personal guards select among the men, Weijie said in a suppressed voice: "Sister, why are you so ignorant?"
Xiang Wen raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"Please! Haven't you figured it out yet? Sister, the order issued by the adults is to recruit strong men aged 18 to 25. Why did you let your personal guards expand their age without authorization? Look at that guy is obviously in his forties, so you also asked your personal guards to recruit them?"
"What's the matter? I'm afraid that the adults will not recruit enough people, so I'll make a fuss." Xiang Wen said disrespectfully.
Weijie said anxiously: "Fuss? Boss, this is a crime of changing military orders without asking for instructions! Although you are doing this for the sake of the good of the adults, you will make your own decisions without asking for instructions. Where should you put the adults? In this way, will it make outsiders think that the adults are not keeping their word and that the adults' words are not worthy of trusting at all?"
"Ah! What should I do?" Xiang Wen, who understood the consequences, was extremely regretful. He was not afraid of losing Cons' trust, but afraid that Cons' reputation would be destroyed by him.
"What else can I do? Apologize to the Lord." Wei Jie sighed.
Xiang Wen didn't even think about it, and immediately walked up to Cons and knelt down to apologize.
Cons sighed at the cronie who was kneeling at his feet.
I am indeed not suitable to be the commander. This kind of crime is enough to be beheaded, but I have no idea of punishing Xiang Wen. It is because he is his confidant? However, it seems that I have never executed any subordinates since I led the army, and at most it is just a whip.
Thinking of this, Cons sighed again: "Get up."
Xiang Wen raised his head and said with regret: "Sir, please punish me. I will change the order without authorization, which will have a huge impact on my reputation. I deserve to die!"
"Okay, I know you're doing it for me, but it would be great if I could tell me in advance. Get up, don't you see those strong men watching? Those who don't know what happened thought I was abused by you." Cons said with a smile.
Xiang Wen glanced at him and found that the strong men looked at this place. Xiang Wen, who did not want Cons' reputation to be detrimental, immediately stood up and stood behind Cons as if nothing had happened. It was just that his red eyes would make people sneak a glance from time to time.
Levin, who was watching this scene from a distance, suddenly said happily: "Sir, I have found Cons' weakness!"
"Hmm? What's the weakness?" Okor asked in confusion.
"Cons' weakness is that he is ruthless and cannot do anything to his own people. He tolerate his mistakes!" Levin said excitedly.
"Why do you say that? How did you see it?" Ocol's eyes glowed. If Cons had this weakness, then completely relying on him would not be a bad thing, but a great thing.
Levin said: "Sir, Cons's announcement is to recruit young and strong people aged 18 to 25, but now you see, at least half of them are over twenty-five years old.
"Originally, I thought it was Cons secretly signaling his subordinates to do it, but when he saw Cons immediately divided people over twenty-five years old, and Xiangwen suddenly knelt down, it was enough to make people understand that the idea of changing Cons' order to recruit more strong men was that Xiangwen said to the following without authorization."
"Oh, is Xiangwen suddenly kneeling down to apologize?" Anda said suddenly. Seeing Levin nodding, she couldn't help but smile, "Hey, look at that Xiangwen is fine. Such a big crime is just a few times and it's all done? No wonder Levin said that Cons is kind and ruthless."
"Well, I realized that along the way, how could Xiangwen and Weijie be so bold to insert into the conversation between me and Cons without authorization. At first, I thought it was Cons indicating it, but I didn't expect that these two guys were used to being indulged by Cons." Okor said with a squinted eye.
"Hehe, sir, when you meet such a boss, your life will be very happy." Levin reminded.
"Well, don't worry now, wait and see for the time being."
Okor's words made Levin stunned. Didn't he still want to surrender to Cons just now? He had just stopped persuading himself for a while. Why is he so sure now? Is his persuasion really so effective?
However, this time Levin did not dare to say much, but just nodded respectfully. He knew very well what consequences would be caused by a subordinate who often sang against his boss.
Everyone is a neighborhood neighbor, and most of the people's departments know each other, so when they see people aged 18 to 25 being left in the center of the school grounds, and those who are over 25 being driven to the corners, the tycoons immediately became noisy. They didn't want to lose such a job that would be for food, accommodation and monthly salary.
"Sir, I'm unparalleled in the bow. I said that I would never shoot the bird's eyes. I'm definitely a candidate for an archer!" A voice suddenly shouted.
As soon as these words were said, the group of strong men over twenty-five-year-olds immediately began to promote themselves: "Sir, I have great strength. I can cut off the wild boar's head with one knife. Please let me!" "I want me! I eat less and I have great strength! I will definitely work hard!" If these people hadn't dared to attack the personal guards, I would have surrounded Cons.
Seeing the surging feelings in the crowd, Xiang Wen's face changed. The chaotic scene in front of him was a trouble he caused.
"Everyone is at ease." As soon as the officer Cons spoke, he did not need to scold his guards, and the chaotic men calmed down.
Cons said: "Although the announcement has made it clear that only 18 to 25-year-olds are recruited, we cannot ignore you if you are so enthusiastic about joining the army.
"Let's do this. All the strong men over twenty-five years old are assigned to the auxiliary corps. Except for the salary is half less than that of the guard, the other treatment is the same. If the auxiliary corps performs well, they can be promoted to the guard. If you don't want to, then you can leave."
Anda touched her head and asked in confusion: "Sir, what kind of military is this auxiliary soldier? I only knew that there were swordsmen, spears, archers, archers, cavalrymen, and I had never heard of auxiliary soldiers."
Okol hesitated for a moment: "I think Cons means that in order to settle these strong men who do not meet the conditions for announcements, they will be named casually. After all, these people have been recruited. Do they still drive them out? And if they are directly assigned to the army, they will not meet the requirements for announcements, so Cons can only do this."
Auxiliary soldiers? No one present had heard of such a military group. Some of the versatile men, especially those who were scheming from a plan, saw the people around them confused and shouted as if they were showing off: "I don't understand this? The salary of an auxiliary soldiers is only half of the guard team, which means that the auxiliary soldiers are short-term workers, and the guard team is long-term workers!"
The men immediately understood when they heard this. Although they were just short-term workers, they also received the military salary, so they were considered to have joined the army.
Thinking that he was a soldier, he immediately didn't care whether he was an auxiliary soldier. Anyway, that adult said that as long as he performed well, the auxiliary soldier could still become a guard.
Just because of those 18-year-old young boys, how could they be the opponents of those young men? With just a little show, they could steal their positions and let them be auxiliary soldiers. None of the strong men who had made a decision in their hearts expressed their intention to leave.
Cons was stunned. His original intention was to let them serve as logistics personnel. After all, they were recruited in no matter what, and it was not good to be admitted to the guards and let them go.
The name of auxiliary soldiers was also temporarily decided to use them to assist the main forces in their work. After all, in addition to training, regular troops also need to cooperate with logistics soldiers to do some work such as building barracks and cleaning camps. Divide this job, which may allow regular troops to concentrate on fighting.
As for why they are not called logistics soldiers, it is because logistics soldiers are in the regular organization. But Cons did not expect that these strong men would explain it by short-term workers and long-term workers who helped people to work.
Thinking of this, Cons suddenly had an idea in his mind, yes, why not form a special auxiliary force to help the combat troops work? Although the logistics soldiers are enough to be responsible for the supply issues within the organization, other trivial matters still require the cooperation of combat troops. For work such as setting up camps and cleaning the battlefield, all the troops will have to be busy.
If a group of auxiliary soldiers with the same number as the combat troops can fight with the team, and the camps and cleaning the battlefield can be handed over to the auxiliary soldiers for execution, the combat troops can concentrate on vigilance, so that they will not be afraid that the troops will be counterattacked by the enemy when they are stolen.
Moreover, with the help of this group of auxiliary soldiers, the combat troops can also reduce the burden, and the spoils and injuries can be handed over to the auxiliary soldiers for care. In normal times, the auxiliary soldiers can be kept on guard and the combat troops rest with peace of mind. This will increase the combat effectiveness at least several times.
Seeing Cons suddenly stunned, Vijellara Cons put on his sleeve and reminded him carefully: "Sir, everyone is waiting for you to speak."
After waking up, Cons glanced at everyone and smiled, "Now you can follow the command of my personal guards." With a wave of his hand, the personal guards immediately shouted according to the list. This work was very familiar to the personal guards, just changing the ten-point organization of Feidu Peninsula to the 55 organization of the empire.
In a short while, more than 1,500 young men aged 18 to 25 were divided into twelve squadrons, and twelve personal guards were automatically included in the squadron leader.
According to the convention, these squadrons still had a logistics corps directly under the command of the squadron leader. The remaining nearly 2,000 men over 25 years old were divided into twenty-tenth-one teams, and twenty personal guards also automatically became centurions.
Then the squadron leader and centurion took his subordinates to occupy a place in the schoolyard and began to select the internal squad leader. In fact, the selection was very simple. One squad, five people fought in the hand-to-hand combat, the winner was the squad leader, and then a team of five squad leaders fought in the hand-to-hand combat, and the winner was the squad leader.
At first, when I heard the orders of the chief guard, all the strong men were stunned. Isn’t the official positions in the army just appointed by the superiors? Why do you have to fight for them by yourself? Everyone is a neighbor or even a relative, so how can they do it?
However, after the words of the officer of the personal guard, "In addition to basic salary, there are also job salaries, and no matter what, they are also officers." The words of the young men with their eyes shining immediately turned aside.
As for the auxiliary soldiers, it is relatively simple, just select the tenth chief. However, due to the excessive number of competitors, most of the winners have blue noses and swollen faces.
After a lot of hard work, the squad leader and the squad leader were quickly selected. After the squad leader and the squad leader joined, he immediately began to scold his subordinates as the squadron leader. The originally messy squadron suddenly became a little military.
Okor was stunned, and Levin murmured: "I didn't expect Cons to have such a skill and straighten the troops in one go!"
Okor nodded. He wanted to see Cons joke just now. The civilians who had just been recruited must be a mess. Without grassroots officers like the sergeant and the squad leader, you would never have thought of controlling the recruits. Cons only had one hundred and thirty personal guards, so it was impossible for him to hold so many positions.
But unexpectedly, Cons actually made a hand-to-hand campaign trick, and he immediately managed to get the number of sergeant commanders and squad leaders. These people were the most powerful figures in the ranks or squads. Even if the soldiers under him were not convinced, they would be convinced, so they could easily control the troops.
Cons really has a trick, no wonder he was able to jump from a soldier to a major.
Anda was not surprised and said unconsciously: "What's the matter? We can also use this method."
Levin and Okol ignored Anda's words.
Of course it seems simple, anyone can do it, but is it really that easy?
Just say that I now have a private army, which is equivalent to a private army, the position of squadron leader alone is enough to make my personal guards fight openly and secretly, and the positions of squad leader and squad leader cannot fall into the hands of these new recruits, and my own tribe members will definitely flock to occupy the positions.
And Okol was sure that if there were many positions, none of his personal guards would voluntarily stay and continue to serve as personal guards. How could he immediately execute without complaints at the command of Cons? It seems that starting from scratch is good.
After looking at the troops, Cons couldn't help but nod and smiled, "Very good, then I'll give you salary now." The guards carrying the box behind him immediately opened the box, and the yellow color immediately made everyone's faces turn yellow.
The strong man who could not help cheering when he heard the salary was paid was immediately whipped by his personal guard's boss.
The anger was so angry that most people dared not speak out. However, some of the strong men who were shocked and ready to resist, like others, all their resentment disappeared, and the pain on their bodies was forgotten, leaving only the action of wide eyes and swallowing hard.
The personal guards responsible for distributing gold coins counted a pile of them into bags according to the roster, and the bosses of the strong men returned to the team with the bags and began to distribute them one by one by one.
