Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 147
The impact of the Battle of Shahe continues to ferment.The villain Liu Jintang filed a complaint first, and asked his own dog to go to the chief secretary with a large amount of silver gifts to carry out activities. He wanted to sue Yang Menglong for "the defense was weak, and the grass bandits ravaged the village, and the killing was useless." Can the wallet feed the Chief Secretary's gang of leeches?The local officials in Nanyang also launched a joint letter, accusing Liu Jintang of raising the bandits' self-respect, allowing the grass bandits to loot Xiangli, and making people miserable!Their compulsion is much higher, who has the patience to pester you in this small place in Henan?Send the pleadings directly to the capital!No way, who let them have a magistrate who once defended Dingxing, and finally wiped out the three Niulu of Jiannu, and made His Majesty Longyan happy?The military general and the civil servants have a lawsuit, and they are short before the fight, and there is this relationship... The parents and officials in the thirteen counties of Nanyang expressed their confidence to give Liu Jintang a face, so that he can't eat and can't go away!
The officials of Nanyang Mansion were divided into two camps, civil and military. It was clear that the chariots and horses had started to PK, but Yang Menglong, who was the instigator, said... none of my business!There are too many things he has to be busy with. After the wheat is in storage, he should plant potatoes. With the money, the construction progress of the steelmaking blast furnace should also be accelerated. He also needs to repair the irrigation system of the military field. Yu Wei asked the gentry for the occupied military fields, and to dig more wells to ensure the irrigation of the military fields... He was so busy, how could he care about such crap!

The first thing to deal with is the more than 3000 captives.There were more than 3000 mouths all of a sudden, and the food supply suddenly became tense. Fortunately, the summer grain has just been harvested, and there is still a lot left after selling 3000 shi. At least there will be no food crisis this year.Han Peng, Qi Hu and the others were freed from even this small worry. It was enough for Yang Menglong to worry about food and other things, and they only had to lead the troops. More than 100 prisoners had their heads shaved and put on uniform green shirts. A team of 30 people came to the school field to accept selection.Qi Hu walked up and down in front of them, picking and choosing, not wanting anyone over 17 years old, not wanting anyone younger than 43 years old, not wanting anyone with round eyes, not wanting anyone too tall, too thin or too fat, these few things Come down, there are not many people who can be selected.Even if they meet these conditions, they may not be able to put on the military uniform as they wish. Every time the old man picks out someone, he slaps them hard on the chest. After being beaten, they will take several steps back and get out automatically. If the hand is enough, If someone is steady, unmoving or only takes half a step back, he will slap the other person on the shoulder and say: "Okay, strong enough, qualified to eat [-] kilograms of rice and noodles a month!" That means this The young man passed the test.Those who were selected were overjoyed, while those who were not selected were dejected. Who is to blame?If you want to blame, blame you for being too thin!
With his hands behind his back, Xue Siming leaned crookedly on the flagpole with Wang Tiehammer, watching Qi Hu choose candidates, and seeing so many people being dismissed one by one, exclaimed: "My God, it is stricter than the emperor's selection of son-in-law!"

Wang Tiehammer said: "No, even the emperor is not so strict in picking his son-in-law!"

Xue Siming deeply felt the same way, how many of the more than 3000 people can be picked in this way?Thank goodness for picking three hundred!

Naturally, Qi Hu was not afraid of these two complaints, he picked them one by one slowly, and the bandits he targeted were all worried, they didn't seem to be participating in the "medical examination", but rather like death row criminals waiting for the judge's trial!Their fate is in the hands of this old man. As long as he shakes his head, they will say goodbye to their military uniforms and 38 kilograms of rice and noodles every month. Can they not be nervous?At this time, an iron tower blocked Qi Hu.This iron tower is nearly 1.9 meters tall. It has been neglected for a long time. Its muscles are all bulging and it has terrifying explosive power. It is definitely an exaggeration to say that it can kill a tiger with bare hands, but it is probably not difficult to kill a horse with one punch.Qi Hu looked at the big man up and down, as if looking at a monster.The big man was so frightened by what he saw that he shouted anxiously: "Old man, please stop looking at me. I can endure any hardship. I am extremely powerful. I can kill ten of them. I have captured wild boars alive. I..."

Qi Hu interrupted him: "You... are called Xu Meng, right?"

The big man nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, my name is Xu Meng, the Xu Meng who was captured alive by the number one hero of your Wuyang Guard." Speaking of being captured alive by Wang Tiechui, he was not at all embarrassed, and some were just proud. In a fierce battle, Wang Tiehui only fought once, and then he didn't make any more shots. In other words, he didn't even bother to make a move if someone wanted to be captured alive by him.

Qi Hu asked: "How old is it?"

Xu Meng said: "24 years old!"

Qi Hu asked: "Have you ever been married?"

Xu Meng shook his head: "No! We had a marriage proposal when we were young, but because of the family's financial difficulties, we blew it off."

Qi Hu pondered for a moment and sighed: "What a pity..."

Xu Meng was anxious: "What's the pity? Old man, you won't abandon me just because of this, right?"

Qi Hu said: "That's not true, I said it's a pity, because if you get married and start a business, you can directly join the Shaking Mountain Camp."

Xu Meng was puzzled: "Shaking Mountain Camp? What is this?"

Qi Hu explained: "The Shaking Mountain Battalion is a heavy infantry battalion. Every soldier in this battalion must be over six feet tall. When approaching the enemy, they wear heavy armor and hold long soldiers, pushing forward like a wall. Even if a mountain is in front of them, they can be split with the huge axe, hence the name 'Shaking Mountain Camp'. The battalion fought the hardest battles, received the hardest training, and received the best military pay, which was five times that of ordinary battalion heads. Your conditions are very suitable to join this battalion, but you have no family... Sigh!"

When Xu Meng heard that he could get five times the military salary for joining the Shaking Mountain Battalion, but because he might be dismissed because he didn't have a family, he jumped up anxiously: "This...this...what is this! Why can't you join the Shaking Mountain Camp if you don't have a family? Mountain camp?"

Qi Hu said: "Those who have a permanent property have perseverance, and those who have a family and a business can have a permanent property. What we want is a soldier who has settled down and is willing to use his blood and sweat to fight for the happiness of his family! A responsible man will do anything for his family. You can eat it, but those who have not yet married and have not taken up this responsibility cannot bear this hardship, do you understand?"

Xu Meng said: "I... I can find a wife right away! There are several women in the cottage who usually take the initiative to help me wash clothes, mend shoes and cook. If I can get five taels of silver a month, they will definitely be willing to marry me Yes, how many daughters-in-law are you looking for? I want to join this battalion!" He yelled in a hurry, and sprayed Qi Hu's saliva condescendingly.Everyone laughed, Wang Tiechui came over and said with a smile: "Old man, there is no rush to find a wife, let him try."

Qi Hu said: "Okay. Come here, bring the Mo Dao and the giant axe!"

With some difficulty, the two soldiers brought a Mo Dao and a giant axe. As soon as these two weapons were released, the bandits present gasped.Both the Mo Dao and the giant ax were connected with long handles. They were unusually thick, with a rough and sharp shape. The body of the knife and the ax was dark and heavy, and the sharp blade shone with cold light.Not to mention cutting it on the body, just looking at it makes my legs go weak!Xu Meng looked at this one and that one, the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, and he almost jumped on it while drooling!

Wang Tiehammer pointed to the giant ax and said, "This giant ax weighs 27 catties." Then he pointed to Mo Dao, "This Mo knife weighs 34 catties. Because the Mo knife was too heavy and expensive, General Yang only made three Ten will not be built anymore, and they are specially made for giant axes. These two weapons were used in the Tang and Song dynasties to restrain the enemy's cavalry. Under one blow, both men and horses will be smashed! If you want to move, I can consider letting you go first Join Shaking Mountain Camp, and slowly find a wife!"

Xu Meng was overjoyed: "You have to keep your word!"

Wang Tiechui said, "What you say is what you say."

Xu Meng walked over, first reached out to take the giant axe, flicked the axe with his index finger, heard the crisp voice, and exclaimed in surprise: "It's made of fine steel!"

Qi Hu said: "It's made of the best steel."

Xu Meng weighed his weight and called: "My good guy, it's so sharp and heavy, even if the enemy is wearing heavy armor, he can split him from head to toe with one axe!" Bringing out a strong wind, the ax is as light as a horse, chopping, chopping and sweeping, all kinds of tricks are used one by one, it really is like the wind.Not to mention those bandits, even the soldiers of Wuyang Guard were astounded. Such a heavy weapon can make it so easy, how strong this man must be!Probably because he thought the giant ax was not fun enough, Xu Meng put down the giant ax after practicing ax technique, took the Mo Dao, swung his arms into a ball of light, and shouted as he swung: "Good knife, good knife, it is simply Made for me!"

Qi Hu nodded slightly: "It's a good material."

Wang Tiechui said: "The strength is infinite, and if you give him a pair of heavy armor, it will not be a problem to defeat a hundred people."

Qi Hu rolled his eyes: "Heavy armor? We don't even know where our heavy armor is yet!"

Thinking of that unreliable guy Yang Menglong, Wang Tiehammer couldn't help but sigh.This guy enthusiastically proposed to build an invincible heavy infantry. He selected powerful warriors equipped with heavy armored giant axes. When the battle situation reached a stalemate, he would release them to break through the enemy's formation. This made Qi Hu and Wang Tiechui was very interested.Think about it, on a wild battlefield, a hoplite covered in thick iron armor holds a huge axe and pushes forward like a wall. When his giant ax was raised at the same time and then slashed down fiercely, blood rained everywhere. What a shocking scene it was!Everyone kept planning and preparing, and now it's ready, the soldiers have been selected, and the Mo Dao and giant ax have been built, but the heavy armor is not even a ghost!Qi Hu and Wang Tiehammer urged several times, but the guy replied that he was still designing and hadn't started construction yet!These two were so angry that they almost vomited blood, sir, when will you be more reliable!

In any case, Xu Meng, relying on his extraordinary martial arts and amazing strength, coupled with the accommodating of Wang Tiehui, the leader of the Shaking Mountain Camp, successfully joined the camp leader with the best treatment in Wuyang Guard.Including him, a total of 500 people were selected by the Wuyang Guard to be added to the army. As for the others, I'm sorry, the mine farm is welcome.
