Ding Yunyi has always been a person who does whatever he wants and never hesitates for a moment.
Penghu is such a big place, and there is no need to post notices or publicize it everywhere. In less than a day, the people in Penghu knew that Inspector Ding was recruiting troops.
But speaking of it, it was not Ding Yunyi who personally came forward to recruit, but his sworn brother Qin Yun, who recruited in a private name.
But everyone knew clearly that Qin Yun was Inspector Ding's trusted brother. If Qin Yun came forward, wasn't it actually Inspector Ding who came forward?
The people in Penghu were grateful for Ding Xunjian's kindness. In addition, after joining Ding Xunjian's army, they not only had food and drink, but also received money every month.
This is a great thing.
Most of the people in Penghu have been fishermen for generations. Seeing that they are suddenly going to join the army, the whole Penghu is actually immersed in a kind of excitement.
This was something Ding Yunyi didn't expect.
On the official recruitment day, most of the people in Penghu came, some came to sign up for the army, and some came to watch the fun.
Ding Yunyi looked at those people queuing up to sign up, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
Everyone signed up, including burly young men of seventeen, eighteen, twenty, and middle-aged people in their forties. Among these people, Ding Yunyi even saw Bangzi's father and a man about the same age as him.
A group of elderly fishermen.
Is Dad Bangzi turning sixty this year? Are you going to sign up to be a soldier at the age of sixty?
Ding Yunyi carefully told Bangzi's father that he was too old to be a soldier, but Bangzi's father plausibly said that Inspector Ding had been so kind to Penghu and he had nothing to repay. Hearing that Inspector Ding needed manpower, he
Without thinking, I came here with some old friends.
After saying that, Bangzi's dad patted his chest: "Inspector Ding, don't worry, I have a strong body and I can go fishing in the sea every day, so I can help you."
Ding Yunyi was moved in his heart and persuaded these elderly people to go back with good words.
"Ah Hu, where are you hiding?"
After he persuaded Bangzi Dad and others to leave, Ding Yunyi suddenly stepped forward quickly and pulled out Ahu, who was quietly hiding in the team and did not want Ding Yunyi to see him.
Ah Hu called out "Brother Ding" with a playful smile, but Ding Yunyi's face was serious: "I am recruiting soldiers here, what are you doing here?"
Ah Hu puffed up his chest: "Report for inspection, I also want to join the army."
"Fart!" Ding Yunyi cursed: "How old are you this year?"
"Report for inspection, it's thirteen!"
"Get out of here." Ding Yunyi said without hesitation: "You're only thirteen years old, why are you here to be a soldier? Get out of here quickly, so that your sister doesn't have to worry."
But Ah Hu sniffed and pointed back: "Brother Ding, look, my sister is here with me too."
Ding Yunyi looked behind him and saw Ah Xi. Ah Xi came to the front and said with a smile: "Brother Ding, just accept him." Ah Hu always kept saying that Brother Ding is long and Brother Ding is short.
As soon as he heard that you were recruiting troops, he didn't sleep well all night and dragged me here early in the morning."
Ding Yunyi pulled Axi aside: "Axi, your brother is too young. People will die if he eats military rations and fights in the war. Let's wait until he is a few years older."
Ah Xi's eyes turned red for no reason: "Brother Ding, you killed Oniomaru and avenged our sister and brother. We never know how to repay you, so please keep Ah Hu by your side to help you."
It doesn't matter if he brings tea or water. Ah Hu has been wild since he was a child. This is the first time I've seen him want to do something so seriously..."
Ah Xi's pitiful look made Ding Yunyi feel soft. He sighed softly and waved to Ah Hu.
A Hu ran over happily, and Ding Yunyi's face sank again: "A Hu, your sister begged for mercy for you, so I accepted you..."
Ah Hu was about to cheer, but was interrupted by Ding Yunyi:
"But you have to remember that this army is no different from other places. Everything must be according to my rules. If you violate the military rules, you will be served with a military stick!"
"Yes, thank you Brother Ding... No, thank you for inspection Ding!" Ah Hu replied loudly.
Ah Xi pursed her lips and smiled, but Ding Yunyi shook his head and came to Qin Yun with a bitter smile: "How many people are there?"
Qin Yun nodded at the team: "The selection is based on your wishes. Over 16 years old, under 28 years old, and strong. So far, a total of thirty-three people have been selected."
"Continue to choose." Although there are only about thirty people, Ding Yunyi is already very satisfied.
These fishermen live at sea all year round and have strong bodies. If they are carefully trained, they will definitely become a useful force. I will have to rely on the sea for a long time in the future. With the help of this group of fishermen, I can get twice the result with half the effort.
.
Just as a big man passed the inspection, Ding Yunyi stopped him: "What's your name?"
"If you come back for inspection, my name is Long Zhantian!" the big man said in a deep voice.
This big Han man is powerful, and his name is also powerful. Ding Yunyi was a little curious: "Who gave you this name?"
"When I came back for inspection, my father couldn't read. I heard from my father that once a scholar came from Penghu and said something like 'Dragon fights in the wild'. My father's surname was Long, and he happened to give birth to me.
I felt that these words were suitable for my name, so I asked the scholar to teach him to use these words as my name. The scholar said that the four words "Dragon Fights in the Wild" were not a good name, so he helped me choose another name.
He was named after Long Zhantian."
Long Zhantian finished speaking in one breath, and Ding Yunyi nodded frequently: "This name is very majestic. Do you know the word?"
"I don't recognize it." Long Zhantian shook his head.
"What about you?" Ding Yunyi turned around and asked those selected people.
Almost everyone shook their heads.
"You have to learn to read, at least you have to learn to write your own name." Ding Yunyi smiled and said: "In the future, if you have made meritorious deeds, your names will be written on the merit book, but you don't know how to read, and you can't even write your own name.
If you know how to write, what should you do if your boss lies to you? Do you think this is true?"
"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.
I immediately felt that this patrol inspector was very popular. I haven't officially become a soldier yet, so I have to help everyone think about it first and not to be deceived. With this kind of patrol, the future will be bright.
Long Zhantian asked: "But who will teach us how to read?"
"Me." Ding Yunyi pointed at himself: "On your first day as a soldier, I will teach you your own names. Once you know how to write your names, you will be less likely to be taken advantage of by your superiors in the future."
"Thank you, Mr. Inspector!" the soldiers said loudly.
Inspector Ding Yunyi is far from the word "adult", but in the eyes of these Penghu soldiers and civilians, Inspector Ding is a real adult.
No one has more prestige in Penghu than Inspector Ding, is more loved by the people, and is more relevant to the people and soldiers.
