A day later, Spring City.
The smell of blood from yesterday's massacre had yet to dissipate. Although there were no corpses on the streets, one could still see the dark red blood stains in the cracks of the rocks. It was obvious how many people had died yesterday.
Niu Dazhuang did some calculations. By nightfall, a total of 18500 people had died at gunpoint. Most of them were women, and most of them were executed after throwing tantrums and rolling around to stop the soldiers.
What was even more bizarre was that there were more than 10,000 scholars among the dead, but the commoners calmly cut their braids and did not resist.
Qin Jun's fierceness had also officially taken root in the hearts of the people. They were all madly spreading the rumor that this was a devil army that killed without blinking. Not only was it powerful in defeating the Qing army, but it also showed no mercy to its own people.
Today, the conscription notice was released. Seeing the various policies and policies written on it, many poor young people were tempted.
" It seems that the King of Qin has ordered the conscription of soldiers. Those aged 18 to 28 years old who are disabled or sick can register at the Green Camp. As long as they pass the verification and officially join our Qin army, they will receive a monthly salary of eight taels of silver. Each person who kills an enemy will receive one tael of silver. Those who kill more than 20 people will be promoted to an official. The platoon leader will receive fifteen taels of silver per month, the company commander will receive twenty-five taels of silver per month, the battalion commander will receive fifty taels of silver per month, and the regiment commander will receive two hundred taels of silver per month. The promotion system is fair to everyone. Please rest assured.”
"In addition, as long as you join the army, your family members will receive preferential treatment. The military will pay for the medical expenses of the family members of the soldiers, and the taxes will be reduced by half. The taxes for business will be reduced by half, and the children's education expenses will be paid by the military.”
"At the same time, as a native of Dian Province, I can tell you one thing. Ever since we joined the Qin army and started the war against the Qing army, we had three meals a day and meat for every meal. We fought two battles and wiped out more than 13000 Qing troops. Only two of them were ambushed and killed by the Tartar wounded soldiers.”
"With these guns and cannons, the Tartars are not far from being destroyed…"
After the soldier finished his explanation, he proudly waved the rifle in his hand, mounted his horse, and left, leaving hundreds of dumbfounded onlookers.
Their understanding was completely overturned.
When could there be so many benefits to being a peasant?
Not to mention anything else, just the number of deaths made them extremely tempted and eager to join the Qin army.
It was safe and there were many benefits. It was simply a pie in the sky.
"Chen Qing, do you want to go? I want to join the army. The Qin army will take Spring City with two casualties. We will definitely defeat the Tartars. If we join now, when the King of Qin becomes the emperor, we will be able to make a name for ourselves.”
What?
Emperor?
In the crowd, the young man called Chen Qing was surprised that his childhood friend had thought so far ahead. He touched his bald head in a dilemma. He was still a little unused to not having braids.
"Well, what if the King of Qin is defeated?”
"Impossible, my family has been blacksmiths for generations. They have been forging iron all their lives, and they also know how to make muskets, gunpowder guns, and so on. Last night, my father told me that if the Qin army had 50,000 of those guns that could fire continuously, the Tartars would not be far from death.”
"Oh, the question is, does the King of Qin have that many guns?”
"Of course there are. Didn't you see that he wanted to recruit 15,000 soldiers? If he didn't have guns, why would he recruit soldiers?”
That's true!
Chen Qing thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Let's go and apply."
……
The name of the original Green Camp had changed. A few huge Qin flags fluttered in the wind, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
The few cultured people in the first group were registering the young people who were applying. When they saw the long line of people behind them, they felt their heads swell.
He did not expect so many people to apply. He thought that at most a few thousand would be enough. After all, there were still many people who were afraid of death. Before they won a few big battles, they still needed to wait and see.
In the end, there was a rumor that the Qin army had only killed two unlucky people and not a single one was injured. Furthermore, there were hundreds of thousands of guns and cannons piled up in the warehouse…
"Find out who spread this rumor and get a reward of 100 taels of gold.”
？
Niu Dazhuang looked at Qin Jun in surprise, not understanding what he was thinking.
Do you have hundreds of thousands of guns and cannons?
Although he had told them that there were hundreds of thousands of yuan in the beginning, he did not see where it was.
Now that Spring City had been sealed off, more and more Tartar troops would gather. Where would the weapons come from?
Of course, Qin Jun knew what he was thinking. He waved his hand and gave the order without a care.
"Go, just follow my instructions. Don't worry about anything else.”
"In addition, the selection of soldiers must be strict. As long as they are qualified, we must have as many as possible.”
Butler Chun Cheng?
Niu Dazhuang was puzzled." Other than Liu Zao and a few other high-ranking officials who were killed in the explosion, the other dog officials are still here. Can't we just let them manage Spring City for the lord?"”
"Eh, these guys didn't resist yesterday?”
"No, I cut my braids immediately. I'm very obedient.”
Cowards were indeed slaves.
Qin Jun cursed in his heart. He felt that this idea was not bad.
"Alright, go and arrange it. However, you still have to gather a group of scholars to train.”
"Yes, sir!"
