Chapter 123 Returning to the Military Camp and Plotting

After the Ming army had served the food, they immediately took their plates, quickly found a table to sit down, and began to devour it.

"Wow, it's so delicious, I haven't eaten meat for a long time

It smells so good!"

"Even when General Yang was here, we didn't eat much meat."

"Hey, that military officer, is this specially made to welcome us?"

"Hey~, don't call me military officer.

My name is Su Da, you can just call me Su Da"

"Haha, how can that be?

We'll just call you Brother Su"

Although they all look older than Su Da, here, no matter whether they are ordinary soldiers or cooks, they dare not offend him.

"It's up to you"

Su Da didn't bother about the address, and said casually.

"Then Brother Su, is this specially prepared for us?"

"You think too much, this is the food for the people's army, you don't deserve to prepare it specially"

Su Da glanced at everyone and rolled his eyes and said.

"Hehe, that's right, that's right."

Although Su Da's words were not pleasant to hear, the crowd did not feel dissatisfied.

However, after hearing Su Da say that this was the normal food for the People's Salvation Army, the crowd stopped eating and looked at Su Da in disbelief.

"The soldiers of the People's Salvation Army can eat such food every day???"

"This, this is too happy, right?"

"Hehe, it's not that you can eat one meal a day."

"Oh, I said!"

The crowd nodded with some relief.

They said, how could such a rich meal be eaten every day.

However, just as the crowd had this thought, Su Da had spoken again.

"It's three meals a day."

"One, three, meals a day"

Almost every word was said, and everyone's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Yes, it's three meals a day."

"You can eat such food three times a day"

"Well, although the food is different, it's almost the same."

Everyone looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

Even when General Yang was here, they couldn't eat such food, right? Not to mention three meals a day.

This, this, this, isn't it too happy to be a soldier in the People's Salvation Army?

"Um, Brother Su, can we join the People's Salvation Army?"

"Of course you can!

However, you need to undergo a physical examination to see if you are qualified, and then you can enter the recruit camp for training. After passing the training, you can truly join the regular army of the People's Salvation Army"

"Oh, then the new recruits of the People's Salvation Army, is the food like this too?"

They don't care about what army they join, they only care about the food.

"Hehe, of course, military training must ensure sufficient food.

And even new recruits have a monthly salary of 500 wen, which is paid on time by the Logistics Management Department.

And regular soldiers get one tael of silver per month, and if they are soldiers who have participated in battles, they get two taels of silver.

If they can become elites,

Hehe, that's five taels of silver per month."

This, this, this.

Listening to Su Da's somewhat arrogant introduction, a group of Ming soldiers were stunned.

They had never heard of where the military pay would be so high?

After reacting, someone immediately asked impatiently.

"Then we also want to join the People's Salvation Army, where do you think we should go to sign up?"

And the rest of the people looked at Su Da expectantly, and even the food was a little tasteless.

Su Da glanced at everyone and said casually.

"Our Salvation Army is different from ordinary troops. Our recruits are all trained uniformly.

So, if you want to join the Salvation Army, you can only wait until the war is over and then recruit new soldiers."

"Oh, so that's it."

Everyone was a little disappointed.

"But."

At this moment, Su Da changed his tone and said to everyone with a smile:

"Because you are soldiers.

So, if you want to join, it should be easier. As long as you pass the selection, you can directly enter the recruit camp."

"We are willing to join, we are willing to join"

"Haha, then you have to hope that the war will end soon."

"Is it not possible now?"

"Of course not.

The war is not over yet, you can't leave here, we don't have a recruit camp here."

After hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully and looked at each other.

"Oh!"

Then everyone buried their heads and devoured the food again.

After everyone finished eating, they immediately found Li Hu and said that they would go back and persuade more people to surrender to save the militia.

Li Hu and others naturally had no reason to refuse the initiative of everyone, so they nodded and agreed to let them out of the city again.

The group returned quietly again and returned to the barracks.

Because of the withholding of food, the patrols of the Ming army are now far less than when Yang Jiamo was there.

After all, they are so hungry that they have no strength. Who is willing to patrol?

Even if there is a patrol, it is just a perfunctory one.

If it weren't for the surprise attack in the past few days, Wang Dahu and his men would not have made any achievements because they had not found any flaws.

So if Wang Dahu and his men had not launched another sneak attack during this period, the Ming army camp might have been breached.

Even if they could not be defeated in one fell swoop, the repeated attacks would be enough to injure them.

Because the group of more than a dozen people were originally soldiers of the Ming army and were very familiar with the Ming army's arrangements.

Therefore, they did not attract too much attention and returned to the barracks.

However, the people who had watched them leave before noticed that they had returned.

"What's going on? Why are they back?"

"Strange, could it be that the Salvation Army did not accept their surrender?"

"But it shouldn't be?

Moreover, if their surrender was not accepted, they would have been shot directly to death if they went to Xining Weicheng where the Salvation Army was located?"

"It seems that we need to find a way to find out."

In fact, no one was asked to find out.

The next day, I don't know when, a rumor began to spread in the army.

That is, the food of the Salvation Army is like this and that, the military pay is like this and that, and the Ming army that surrenders is also treated preferentially, etc.

In addition, if they surrender, those who are willing to serve in the army can continue to serve in the army, and can even get up to five taels of silver per month.

Those who don't want to serve in the army can also become farmers.

From that night, more and more people fled the barracks.

But that night, many people returned.

Of course, some people stayed in Xining Weicheng.

So, the deserters in the army gradually reflected on the participating kingdoms.

"Assholes, they actually joined the rebels directly because of a few meals.

When General Yang's army returns to help, they will definitely be caught and executed."

However, although the kingdom was furious, it did not mean to launch an attack.

The army's food has improved a little bit, at least two meals a day can be eaten to 80% full.

If it were usual, everyone would have settled down.

Two meals a day, and you can eat 80% full, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

However, after seeing the food of the Salvation Army and knowing the salary of the Salvation Army, they looked down on the 80% fullness of two meals a day.

Therefore, the situation of desertion has not been curbed much, but has continued to increase.

Another day, in a tent, several people gathered together and talked in a low voice.

"If this continues, everyone in the barracks will become members of the Salvation Army.

Are we not leaving yet?"

"Hey, if we go there now, we will just be ordinary surrendered officers and soldiers, and we won't get much benefit."

"Then what do you want?"

"Hey, what do you think? If we capture the kingdom and lead the army to surrender directly?"

"How is this possible?"

"The kingdom has always been protected by his personal soldiers and servants. With our status, it may be difficult to approach him, right?"

"That's not necessarily true."

"What do you think?"

"What if we tell him that we caught the escapee? Will he deal with the rebels personally to kill the chicken to scare the monkey?"

"That may not be easy.

To kill the chicken to scare the monkey, just kill him."

"But what if it's a general?"

"."

If it's a general, the kingdom will definitely ask about it personally.

However, this must be very dangerous. If the kingdom kills him without saying anything, wouldn't it be a miserable death?

"Haha, you want to be valued, but you don't want to take risks. How can such a good thing happen in this world?"

Looking at the silent crowd, someone couldn't help but sneer.

"Then you be the bait"

"."

Instantly, the man shut up.

After a while, the man seemed to have made up his mind and spoke again:

"I'll come if I want.

But then I'll be the first to win this time"

"Okay! You win first!"

Seeing someone take the initiative to act as bait, everyone nodded immediately.

The group of people here are basically low-level officers of the Ming army.

However, they are not the direct line of the kingdom, nor are they affiliated with Yang Jiamo, but just a group of ordinary border troops.

Naturally, they are not valued by the kingdom, and the benefits of this withholding of food and wages will not fall into their hands.

It can even be said that they are only slightly better than ordinary soldiers and can barely fill their stomachs.

Naturally, they have a lot of dissatisfaction with the kingdom and its direct line of generals.

Therefore, when they found out that someone was about to defect from the Salvation Army, they did not stop him.

Instead, they let him go intentionally or unintentionally during patrol.

In addition, recently, there has been more and more information about the preferential policies of the Salvation Army, which made them start to think.

However, they obviously did not want to surrender like ordinary officers and soldiers, which would not bring them much benefit.

They wanted to seek greater wealth and attention.

In the end, they chose to capture the Counselor Kingdom.

Of course, it was mainly because they discovered during this period.

Many people in the barracks came back from the Salvation Army to persuade more people to surrender.

And the remaining people, except for the Kingdom's direct soldiers, were also mostly dissatisfied with the Kingdom.

This made them want to take a risk.

They believed that as long as they captured the Kingdom, most of the soldiers would probably join them.

The next day, Wang Guo sat in the central army tent with a gloomy face, listening to his subordinates' reports.

Yesterday, more than a dozen people deserted.

"General, do you want to restore the food to three meals a day?"

One of his generals spoke up.

"Three meals a day? Where can we get so much food and supplies here?"

Wang Guo frowned and said impatiently.

"."

The general opened his mouth, but finally did not say anything.

What went into Wang Guo's pocket was no longer considered military supplies.

In this case, maintaining the current food is indeed the limit.

In this regard, Wang Guo has also tried his best, but there is really a shortage of food and supplies.

When he thought of this, Wang Guo couldn't help but curse in his heart, that group of ignorant soldiers did not understand his difficulties at all.

Anyway, they are not attacking, why do they eat so much?

What a bunch of bastards.

Thank you for your support! .:*

I went to a parent-teacher meeting yesterday because of something, so I didn't type it out.

The next chapter will probably be out in the morning, so don't wait if you're there before then. (ó﹏ò)

Sorry! o(╥﹏╥)o
