Chapter 425 Recruits
Just when Emperor Shenwu Zhu Hongsan and his son were having dinner and eating skewers, his eldest son Zhu Hai was born in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, a hundred miles away, in the recruits who were suffering and happy in the recruits camp.
Zhu Hai has been here for three months. These few months are probably the most fulfilling months that Zhu Hai has lived. Every day, he gets up to run for five kilometers, then eats, trains military posture in the morning, physical training in the afternoon, and brainwashing classes in the evening. Of course, in the army, it cannot be called brainwashing classes, but is called Zhongjun Education in the beauty.
Zhu Hai has the excellent genes of Zhu Hongsan and Ma Xiaofang, and he originally looked like a handsome young man. After three months of training, the recruits turned into black charcoal heads, but his originally thin body became strong. The sufficient animal protein and carbohydrate intake made Zhu Hai, who was already in adolescence, become a man. Now Zhu Hai feels that he has endless strength in his body.
In the past few months, Zhu Hai has completely integrated into the daily life of Class 3, eating, training, resting and fighting with ten people every day, allowing Zhu Hai, who was originally at the center of power to relax with a rare opportunity.
This afternoon, the company commander informed the entire company that he had finally passed the recruiting period and fired fire in real-time tomorrow.
This news made the whole company excited. After all, the 1st and 2nd regiment trained with their new recruits, and their live ammunition shooting every day made people's live ammunition shooting. How could the new recruits of 345678 be jealous? Today, I heard from the company commander that they would start live ammunition training today and cheered.
The company commander was also very happy, looking at the cheering recruits below and said, "The training will be cancelled this afternoon. I will give you half a day off and have a rest!"
The company commander said this and these new recruits were even more happy. After all, the military camp was boring and there was a lot of exercise every day. They were so tired that they were exhausted all day. Now they could have half a day off, but it was not the same as the New Year.
Zhu Hongsan has always been generous to his soldiers. The newly enlisted second-class private also received five taels of silver per month, which is much higher than the eight taels of silver per year in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the casualties rate of the new army is much smaller than that of the border troops, so it is a good choice to work hard for Zhu Hongsan.
After returning to his barracks, everyone discussed going to the city to play. After the past two months of training, the local rich man Xu Youcai lost from 200 kilograms to 160 kilograms, and was full of energy.
Xu Youcai said loudly: "Finally, he had a half-day vacation. Everyone will leave with me later. Let's go to the city and I will take you to visit the Spring Courtyard to see and experience it!" Xu Youcai's family sent 100 taels of pocket money this month. Although Xu Youcai's father did not agree to his son joining the army, there was nothing he could do about it at this point, so he had to ask someone to send money to prevent his precious son from suffering.
The scholar Wu Yu and Hou Li didn't see Xu Youcai's local rich man, so he bowed and said, "Go to everyone, I want to read the book!" After that, he lay on the bed and ignored Xu Youcai.
Seeing that Wu Yuhou was not giving face, Xu Youcai whispered: "What are you pretending to be? You are so poor that you even have your bags left after you beg for food!" But he didn't dare to say loudly, after all, Wu Yuhou's scholar's fame is much better than him.
Zhu Hai's poor relative, Ning Fan, didn't care. His family was demoted to a commoner in three generations, and his generation was basically the same as the poor.
"Okay, I'll treat you tonight!"
Xu Youcai was very happy to see someone echoing him, so he turned his head and asked Zhu Hai, "Boy Ma, where are you?"
Zhu Hai also wanted to go and see. When he was a child, his mother Ma Xiaofang was very strict in charge. Perhaps because Zhu Hongsan liked to visit kilns in the past, Ma Xiaofang taught his son that the brothel was the most evil place in the world and must be far away. However, Zhu Hai was young and easy to fool around, but now Zhu Hai is growing up and still in adolescence, so he will inevitably be interested in that kind of thing.
Ma Dayi was shocked when he heard that Zhu Hai was going with him. He knew that the prince was not only the second master's nephew, but also his son-in-law, and if the second master knew that his son-in-law would be happy in the brothel in the future, would his brothers still be alive?
Ma Da quickly whispered to Zhu Hai: "Young Master, it's better not to go to such pickled places!"
Zhu Hai shook his head and said to Xu Youcai: "Fatty Xu, okay, I'll go with you!"
Xu Youcai was happy to hear that Zhu Hai wanted to go together. Although he was honest, he was not stupid. The largest family in Guangdong now is the Ma family in Huguang. Not to mention this Ma boy, he also has four servants around him. In addition, he is from Huguang, so he must be relatives with Ma Jiyuan and Ma Mingyuan. It is estimated that he would also be gilded in the army. He relies on his qualifications and will be transferred in a few months. If he doesn't seize this opportunity to make friends with him, he may not have any chance in the future.
Xu Youcai finally said to the squad leader to the third brother: "Squad leader, are you two going?"
Xiang Lao San smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm old and can't afford to toss, you guys go!"
"Boy Xiang, where are you?"
Xiang Rong glanced at Zhu Hai, blushed, and lowered his head and said, "I'm so tired. I'll accompany my dad in the barracks! You guys go!"
Seeing that the squad leader and the two of them didn't go, Xu Youcai said nothing, and asked Zhu Hai, Ma Da and others for leave to the officers on duty and went to Ganzhou City to play together. Zhu Hongsan's new army was harsh and stipulated that he would return to the camp before sunset on vacation, otherwise he would whip three times.
The new army's barracks are just outside the south of Ganzhou City, which is the former site of the Jinshenghuan military camp. Now, 60,000 of Jinshenghuan's 100,000 captured soldiers were taken back by Jinshenghuan in two batches. The remaining 50,000 were formed into a baggage team by Zhang Jiayu, responsible for transporting weapons, food and grass to the Fourth Division.
As a major transportation route between Jiangxi and Guangdong, Ganzhou City was a disaster caused by Jin Shenghuan's military disaster in the first half of the year, but soon recovered from anger. Now, because Guangdong's merchants entered Ganzhou, their prosperity was even better than before.
Xu Youcai brought a few comrades to Ganzhou City Gate with laughter. There was a team of tax officials from Ganzhou Prefecture collecting city gate taxes. Although Ganzhou is now under Guangdong, because the time is still short, all officials still change the soup and not the medicine, just like in the Ming Dynasty.
The tax collector at the gate saw that these people were wearing the off-white training suits of the New Army, and quickly made way for the road and greeted him with a smile. There was nothing he could do. The new army's old men could not afford to offend him. Half a month ago, a goalkeeper in Xicheng did not allow the new army to take a vacation to enter the city. He was beaten by these Qiu Babo. He heard that his legs were all broken, and the Ganzhou prefect had no way to do anything. Now, when he saw these old men going to enter the city, he dared to stop him.
Visiting the Spring Courtyard was originally a large courtyard in Ganzhou City. Most of the merchants traveling from south to north come to find their sisters to relieve their fatigue on the journey. In addition, Visiting the Spring Courtyard is relatively back-end in Ganzhou City, so the business is quite stable.
But in a tough backstage, it is impossible to encounter troubled times. After Jin Shenghuan broke the city, the boss of the Spring Courtyard spent a lot of money to bribe Jin Shenghuan. He originally wanted to protect his own property. However, the bribe was not as good as your entire wealth. Jin Shenghuan was like this. He led people to visit the Spring Courtyard. The sisters inside stayed behind, and the bad ones were used as military prostitutes. The boss was also forced to destroy his family and hanged him.
Next, the new army from Guangdong fought off Jin Shenghuan, and this place became the territory of Guangdong. The Spring Garden was located in the south city and had a very good geographical location. Of course, it was also attracted by the newly-gold Huguang who had just entered the city. The big boss from Guangdong changed his place to his boss with a letter.
After two months of renovation, a new Spring Courtyard was built on the original site of the Spring Courtyard, which is better than before. The Spring Courtyard is now home to Huguang and the business is more prosperous than before, so the business is booming and you can't get in without booking in advance.
Xu Youcai brought seven people to the entrance of the Spring Courtyard. As soon as he was about to enter, he was stopped by the large teapot at the door.
"Several people, this is a visit to the Spring Courtyard. I want to find a kiln sister to invite to Yanzhi Lane. The girls there are cheap and clean!" Seeing that these people were wearing the gray training suits of the new army, Dachake knew that these were recruits from the Guangdong New Army outside the city. These guys had a generous salary and didn't know that the world was high. After some money, they wanted to find the girl, thinking that visiting the Spring Courtyard was the same as those half-closed prostitutes. However, the shopkeeper also knew that these new troops were not easy to mess with. Although they were not afraid of them when visiting the backstage of the Spring Courtyard, after all, it was better to have less trouble than more. The new troops who came were politely sent to other brothels.
Xu Youcai blushed. He just now made a move to arrange the highest-end yard in Ganzhou City, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face at the door.
"You guy, do you think the old man has no money?" After saying that, he took out ten taels of silver and stuffed it into the big teapot. "Find a spacious room for us and find a few good-looking sisters!"
Xu Youcai thought ten taels of silver were enough. You should know that even in Guangdong where prices are soaring, ten taels of silver were enough for more than a month for a family of three. Unexpectedly, the big teapot looked at the silver in his hand and smiled and said, "My friend, for the sake of this silver, my brother told you the truth. The visit to the Spring Courtyard is either rich or noble, and it is not the place where you big soldiers come. Follow your brother's advice, it's better to go somewhere else!"
Ma Da is away all year round, with rich social experience and knows the allusion of a calm step back. He stepped forward to hold Xu Youcai and said, "Forget it, we are coming out to have a happy life today, just like finding a yard!"
Fatty Xu looked stupid, but he was very smart in his heart. He nodded when he heard Ma Da say this and led a few brothers to leave.
But at this time, the big teapot was damn. Seeing that the new army had no farts, he was about to leave. He laughed with several followers behind and said, "These cousins don't pee and look at themselves. They also want to come to visit the Spring Festival Garden!"
The big teapot said just now that they were big soldiers and could hear them, but now they were scolded. Zhu Zonghui is from Jiangxi. Although the Nanchang dialect is different from the Ganzhou dialect, he can still hear them clearly. Zhu Zonghui is now in a downturn, but he is a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang after all. Now that big teapot scolds his cousin, he doesn't indirectly scold Zhu Yuanzhang? How could Zhu Zonghui bear it?
Zhu Zonghui turned around and glared, asking, "Who are you scolding?"
