Red Alert 1895

"Master Wang has an order to recruit 200,000 soldiers in Shandong and Zhili. Anyone who is willing to serve the country and drive out foreign enemies can apply. ⊥, our soldiers are well paid, ten yuan a month. If you are interested Come here and apply, ten yuan per month."

Wang Guorui issued an order to recruit troops in Zhili and Shandong, and this order immediately made everyone serious.

"Master Wang has recruited troops in our Zhili this time, do they want us to join their team?" A Zhili citizen asked.

Immediately someone said: "Yes! In the past, those Taiwanese came to us to fight against foreigners, but this time they actually recruited troops from us. After that, are they still the Taiwan army? Are they the Taiwan army?"

"If we join Taiwan's army, is this army still Taiwan's army?"

It has to be said that China has had so-called xenophobic thinking since ancient times. Even if the Taiwan army came to fight against those foreigners this time, ordinary people's thinking of the Taiwan army is just "Taiwan army", not the national regular army. For the people in Zhili and Shandong, only the Eight Banners soldiers, the Green Battalion soldiers, and the New Army are the regular troops of the imperial court. In their thinking in the past, the Taiwanese army was also a local government and a local army. How could a local army be on par with the imperial court? This is also the factor caused by the so-called xenophobic thinking. Their thinking still thinks that Taiwan is a local government and the imperial court is a central government.

It has to be said that Wang Guorui did not choose to establish an independent country back then, allowing Taiwan to continue to be under the name of China, which is good for the future to seize the central government. But the consequence now is that the Taiwanese army will be definitely rejected by the people in other places. Even if the Taiwanese army comes to fight against foreigners, it is impossible to gain their approval immediately. So now they heard that Wang Guorui recruited troops, for this xenophobic thought. They don't know whether to join this army.

"Our soldiers have a monthly salary of ten yuan, which is equivalent to five taels of silver for your court. Five taels of silver, this is a very high military salary, come quickly, everyone!"

After hearing the propagandist's answer, their eyes lit up immediately, obviously shocked by the military salary. There are actually ten yuan a month. That is, the military salary of five taels of silver, which made them feel very expensive. You must know that in the green battalion of the Qing Dynasty, each soldier only had a military salary of two taels of silver per month, and those who were deducted seven or eight times by various officers, it would be good to have more than one tael left. But fortunately, the army is in charge of food and lodging, which allows them to leave their military salaries at home so that they can have food.

Of course, this is only for the Qing army. If it was the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty, that soldier would be paid ten taels of silver every month. That's the Navy. It belongs to the technical arms and cannot be compared with the traditional army. In all countries in the world, the salaries of soldiers and officers of the navy are generally higher than those of the army, or even much higher, plus various subsidies. Therefore, it is possible that the comprehensive income of naval soldiers is twice as high as that of the army, but it is very normal. This is also common practice in various countries, so everyone can understand it.

But now there is a military salary of five taels of silver, this is the army! If an ordinary soldier can have such a high salary. Then they are enough to feed their families.

"The military salary is so high, I want to be a soldier!" Someone said immediately.

But the young man's father immediately grabbed him and said, "My son. Good men don't serve as soldiers. If you go to serve as a soldier now, you will have to work hard. And they all said that they are going to Fight with foreigners! Are foreigners so easy to mess with? At that time, I’m afraid you will die. Although our family is not just your son, but as a father, I don’t want you to die like this!”

But the son immediately said: "Father, we will definitely defeat the foreigners this time. This time Master Wang will lead us, so we can defeat the foreigners."

"Nonsense, how can foreigners be so easy to defeat? Over the years, how much land have we ceded. How much money have we given to them!" The old father still said.

It has to be said that these older generations have lived in an environment invaded by foreign powers since childhood. This generation was born in the middle of the nineteenth century. At that time, the foreigners had just started to invade. They also learned how powerful the foreigners were, forcing them to cede land and pay compensation time and time again. They have never heard of a victory in the past few decades, so they are all afraid of this foreigner to the bone. It's like a person has been bullied all his life, from childhood to adulthood by a certain person, and then even from bullying to old age. And at this time, the person who bullied him suddenly became "sick". This is a good opportunity for revenge, but he hardly dares to take revenge.

This is because his outlook on life, world outlook and values ​​have been determined since he was a child, and he has already planned this "person" in his heart to become an extremely powerful person. The impression of the past few decades is not so easy to change. It's like some courtiers have usurped the throne, but facing those past emperors, who were able to kill them in the past, they also feel uncomfortable in their hearts. This is the so-called "accumulated prestige". The prestige accumulated over the years is not so easy to eliminate. No matter how old the other party is, as long as he is still alive, this once weak person, the bullied person will be afraid for a day. This is also affected by their three views, and it is not so easy to change.

"Father, our lord Wang's army is different from the army in the past. Our lord Wang's army is very powerful! He defeated foreigners several times, and even forced the queen of the Netherlands to marry him, which is considered a marriage Can you force foreigners to marry the queen to his relatives? Isn’t it powerful? So, I think that following Mr. Wang, we will definitely have a future. At that time, we may become generals, and we will be able to honor our ancestors by then .So, father, let me go, I am not afraid of those foreign devils. In addition, the Taiwanese army has never heard of losing to anyone for so many times, and foreigners are also in his hands. What have we to worry about?"

It has to be said that for the Chinese, the marriage between Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and Wang Guorui means "marriage". And Wang Guorui also took Wang's side intentionally or unintentionally, making them all think that this is a "long face". However, to Westerners, it was Wang Guorui and Wilhelmina, the "adulter and whore", who got on the bus first and paid for the fare after their stomachs got bigger. It means that the Dutch have no choice. If the queen's belly is not big, then they would not make this choice. Even if the Dutch lost on the battlefield, there was no need to marry the queen to Wang Guorui, they haven't reached this point yet!

Therefore, in a situation, it depends on how the parties explain it, and any explanation can be explained.

"Really? Master Wang really snatched away the queen?" the old man asked.

"Yeah! They even snatched the queen!"

These young people still "worship" Wang Guorui. Unlike their parents, they have always listened to how powerful foreigners are and how China is declining. And five years ago, when Wang Guorui rose to prominence, they were still about twelve or thirteen years old, and their understanding of the whole world was not too detailed. And they don't have that kind of fear to the bone marrow of foreigners, and Wang Guorui can defeat foreigners several times, which gives them a "boosting shot", so that they are far less afraid of foreigners than not. In fact, their parents feared foreigners like tigers.

The young man finally left the house and went to the conscription point to prepare to sign up. But when he arrived at the registration point, he found that the place was already crowded.

"I want to apply!" "Yes! I want to apply!" "Give me a chance!"...

"We all hope to follow Mr. Wang to fight foreigners~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and Mr. Wang's military salary is so high, then we are all willing to join!"

Many of these people who joined the army have heard of Wang Guorui's "great achievements" and expressed their willingness to follow. All of them now expressed their willingness to follow Wang Guorui to fight against foreigners, especially since they knew that Wang Guorui had won many battles against foreigners and had never lost a single one. This made them trust Wang Guorui very much, thinking that Wang Guorui could lead them to victory and avoid casualties. You must know that the more capable an army is, the easier it is to recruit troops. If there is an army that has been defeated repeatedly, then no one in this army is willing to follow them, and no one is even willing to follow this general. Soldiers will not trust a general who has been defeated repeatedly. Only those generals who can win battles, soldiers will trust him and are willing to entrust their lives to him.

Therefore, under Wang Guorui's record of defeating foreigners many times, they all expressed their willingness to follow Wang Guorui and to follow Wang Guorui to fight against foreigners, because in this way, not only can they get a lot of military pay, they can even become an officer, and they can start to be official. Since ancient times, being a soldier has been a way of progress, so everyone hopes to be a soldier and follow a leader who can win the battle to fight, so that they can get out of here and become a general.
