Early in the morning, Yin Yong took Liu Xiang's approval slip and went straight to the military supplies warehouse. According to the customs of the national government, military supplies were usually paid at 80%, and the remaining 20% was the benefit of the officers in the military supplies department (if you were not a trusted subordinate, it would be good if you could get 50 - 60%). However, this time, the military supplies director did not dare to withhold any of it. First, Liu Xiang personally called him and told him that Yin Yong, the newly promoted independent mixed 1st regiment, would come to collect his military uniform. Secondly, he couldn't see through Yin Yong's real situation. He knew every officer above regiment commander under Liu Xiang like the back of his hand (The reason why he tried so hard to understand those people was actually because he wanted to know how close they were to the upper echelons of the Liu Corporation. Then, he would judge the amount of supplies he withheld according to this. Otherwise, if he withheld too much of Liu Xiang's trusted supplies and was reported to Liu Xiang, he would die without a burial place. He could only say that life was full of knowledge). However, he had never even heard of the name of this brigade commander who had suddenly appeared. It was as if he had suddenly appeared from the ground. This was too strange and abnormal. With the idea that it was better to be safe than sorry, he distributed 5,000 sets of ordinary military uniforms, one colonel's uniform, and five middle school uniforms. He also allocated 300 sets of military uniforms and a batch of military supplies from his small treasury, such as water bottles, bullet belts, grain belts, leggings, and so on. Although the number was not much, However, the intention to express goodwill was obvious. However, he had expressed his feelings wrongly. Not to mention that Yin Yong did not know about the rule of giving 80% of the goods, he thought that the extra supplies were a "kickback" given by Liu Xiang because he had bought the cannons for him. He secretly felt that Liu Xiang was stingy. The extra shells were hundreds of times more expensive than the value of these supplies. He was unhappy and his expression was naturally not good. He didn't even thank them and asked them to load the car and leave. When the quartermaster saw this scene, he was even more certain that he had a great background. Not only was he not dissatisfied, but he was also glad that he had made a wise decision.
It was obvious that thousands of military uniforms could not be stored in the hotel, so they were temporarily stored in the warehouse of Deli Trading Company. He, Zhao Fei, He Mei, and the others all changed into their military uniforms, each carrying an M1911 (Glock 18 was too conspicuous, so they specially asked Zhao Fei and the others to change out).
What was Yin Yong doing outside? Of course, it was conscription, and the conscription booth was located in the middle of Naqing City--
Two large square tables were filled with a large pile of shiny silver oceans. Behind the tables was a freshly written recruitment advertisement pasted on a brick wall. An old scholar shook his head and read to a group of illiterate people," Independent mixed first brigade conscription office, anyone above 18, below 25 years old, 1.6 meters tall, decent appearance, no disability, no bad habits, no smoking of drugs can apply with the household registration certificate or a person with relevant household registration certificate to provide a guarantee. Those who are accepted will be given ten yuan as a settlement allowance, three yuan per month during the recruit training period, five yuan per month after the recruit training period ends…"
"This independent mixed 1st regiment belongs to that officer. Why haven't I heard of it before?”A farmer carrying a load asked curiously.
A middle-aged woman who was watching the show said,"Yes, there is no such team under Officer Liu. Are these people scammers?”
"Lie to your head. Didn't you see them piling up a pile of money there? If they were liars, I'd like to meet them every day!”The one who spoke was a stevedores at the dock. He had no work to do now, so he came to watch the show.
" That's right. The white money is not fake. Ten dollars is enough to buy two fat pigs. Now, the white flour is only two to three cents per catty. During the training period, three dollars a month is more than a hundred catties of white flour…"
"If you pass the test, you'll be able to increase it to about 200 catties of white flour every month! My Xiao Wei can eat white flour every day. In a few months, he will grow into a calf, unlike now, where a gust of wind can make him sway a few times…"
"But people die in wars…"
"In this day and age, even if you don't die on the battlefield, can you still live?”
" Yeah, since the new year, my family has only had a little sweet potato every day…My mother's face turned green from eating it. If this continues, it won't be long before we're all dead…"
……
Yin Yong, who was behind the square table, was a little disappointed because he was wearing a colonel on his shoulder, not a major general as he thought. He was also not " certified " by the Civil Service Department and was classified as a black officer. This was simply inconceivable in later generations, but it was normal in the Republic of China. Not only Liu Xiang, Zhang Zuolin and his son, Yan Xishan, Li Zhongren…these local powerful factions also privately awarded military ranks to their officers.
The stall had been set up for more than an hour. More and more people were watching and discussing, but no one dared to be the first to eat the crab. Yin Yong could not help but feel a little discouraged. He stood up from the stool, straightened his military uniform, stood on the stool, coughed twice, and said loudly," Alright, villagers, please be quiet and listen to me…"
The surrounding crowd immediately quieted down. Firstly, they wanted to hear what this heroic-looking officer had to say. Secondly, they were afraid of being a soldier. Didn't they see that everyone else was carrying guns? If he didn't listen, wouldn't it be too unjust to shoot him directly?
"Fellow villagers, I am the independent brigade commander of the 1st regiment. My name is Yin Yong, and my name is Xianwei! The 1st Independent Mixed Brigade was a new unit established by Officer Liu. It was a new type of unit that was different from the previous ones. As stated in the recruitment notice, not only were age and height strictly restricted, but they also had to be good-looking, have no bad habits, and do not smoke drugs…As everyone saw, the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade was well paid, and the notice did not say that the soldiers of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade would eat rice and white flour every meal. They would be full and would be allowed to eat meat at least once every three days. If the soldiers of the 1st Independent Brigade were injured or killed during training or battle, they and their families would receive a generous pension…The weapons of the 1st Independent Brigade were also the best. They were not Old Mauser, Single Strike One, or Old Sleeve Hanyang…The weapons of the 1st Independent Brigade were all imported from abroad. They were advanced and powerful…Of course, the treatment of the 1st Independent Brigade was generous, but the military discipline was also strict…The training was also very strict. So I'll make it clear in advance that if you can't control your own hands and feet, you'd better not sign up. Because once you fill in the form, you'll become a member of the 1st Brigade independently. If you break the military discipline of the 1st Brigade independently, you'll be grounded if it's light, and you'll be imprisoned or shot if it's serious! Those who join the independent 1st Brigade will not be able to stand the hardship and apply to quit before completing the recruit training. Even if you have to crawl, you have to crawl until the day you complete the recruit training. Only then will you be expelled because you fail the assessment…"
" Sir..." a young man whispered.
Ning Zhiyuan was overjoyed when someone finally responded. In order to avoid scaring them away, he deliberately lowered his voice and said,""If you have any questions, just ask!"
"Sir, if I register now, will I be given a settlement allowance immediately?”
"Yes, but you have to provide proof of household registration!”
The young man quickly said," Sir, I do. My home is at the Chao Tian Gate. I just went home to get my household registration certificate. I'm registering now. Please accept me!"”
"Alright, Zhou Zhong, register him…"
"Yes, sir!" Zhou Zhong nodded at the young man and said,""Come and register!"
The young man sat at the table and handed over his household registration certificate anxiously.
Zhou Zhong took the household registration certificate and asked,""Can you read?"
"Sir, I can't read!"
Zhou Zhong nodded and took out a registration form. He filled in the resume of the first soldier of the 1st Brigade.
Name: Zi Shao, Age: 22, Education Level: Wen Huang, Native Place: No. 142, Huichuan Road, Naoqing, Married? Married, family members: Father, mother, wife, two daughters…
" Alright, get someone to check this enlistment notice for you. It contains not only your information, but also the military rules and regulations that you must abide by. Once you sign it, it means that you agree with these military rules and regulations. If you violate them in the future, you will be severely punished by the military law..." Zhou Zhong handed the enlistment form in duplicate to the young man named Zi Shao.
" Sir, there's no need to check... I believe you..."
"Alright, do you know how to write your name? Sign here and put your thumbprint on it, and you will officially become a soldier of the 1st Independent Brigade!”
" Yes, sir. I know how to write my name…" Zi Shao quickly grabbed the pen that Zhou Zhong handed him and wrote his name on the two enlistment notices.
"Alright, Zi Shao, welcome to the 1st Independent Brigade. This form must be kept in the brigade. Please take it home!”
"Yes, sir!" Zi Shao said as he folded one of the enlistment letters and put it in his pocket.
Wu Tao wrote Zi Shao's information on a register for receiving the settlement allowance, and asked him to sign and stamp his fingerprint. Sun Jie immediately counted out ten dollars and handed it to Wu Tao.
" Sir…This…" Zi Shao took the money and looked at Yin Yong hesitantly, as if he was addicted to something.
"If there's anything, just say it!”
Zi Shao said sadly," Yes, sir…My eldest daughter fell ill a few days ago, but we've pawned everything we can, and we still don't have enough money for the medical expenses. Sir, can you let me send the money to the hospital first and then come back? Don't worry, sir. I'm illiterate, but I know my manners. Since I've signed the letter of enlistment, I won't be a deserter. I'll be back as soon as I give my wife the money!" If the officer doesn't believe me, I can take three dollars to save my daughter first, and the remaining seven dollars will be collected when I come back!”
Yin Yong looked at Zi Shao's pleading face and guessed that he wouldn't have signed up if he didn't have to raise money for his daughter's medical expenses!
"No problem, because our independent 1st Brigade is stationed in Qijiang. All those who sign up to join the army can go home and spend time with their families after receiving the settlement allowance, but they must arrive before eight o'clock in the morning ten days later. Otherwise, they will be punished as deserters. Do you know how deserters are punished?”
"Sir, I know. All deserters will be shot!”
"Yes, if you don't meet the deadline, I'll shoot you if I catch you. Your enlistment notice has your hometown written on it.”
"Understood!"
"Alright, since you are the first candidate of our brigade, Sun Jie, give him an extra five yuan!”
"Yes, Traveler!" Sun Jie immediately bowed and counted five more yuan for Zi Shao.
" Sir," Zi Shao shook his head and said," This…This is not appropriate…"
"Take it. A child's health can't be delayed. Buy more delicious food for your daughter. Treat it as a gift from me!”
" Yes, thank you, sir…Zi Shao's life belongs to you now…"
"Alright, quickly go and see your daughter. Remember, in ten days, before eight o'clock, I'll be waiting for you outside the northern gate of Qijiang City!!”
"Yes, sir!" Zi Shao raised his hand and gave an irregular military salute. He then bowed and squeezed out of the crowd.
