Beiyang new warlord

When there are more people, the quality drops.

Originally, women were not allowed to appear on this occasion, but Mao Jue did not hold the two larks. Besides, although the origin of the foreign girl Adelaina is unknown, it seems that she is from aristocratic family and has a lot of knowledge about military affairs. Based on the principle of equality, Jue put on armor for both of them and brought everyone here.It was just that she was sitting on the podium, and the girl resisted the contempt on her face, and Adelena asked Mao Jue in disbelief.

"Master, is this the army of the Ming Empire?"

Mao Jue also had a headache. Everyone said that the young and the old were coming back from home. The row of old people in front of him really called the word old. Such a person, still wearing the military uniform of the Ming Dynasty, is a real registered soldier!The principle of priority for soldiers makes them crowded in the front.

Lao Tzu is choosing soldiers, not running a nursing home!Before these people and Su Changmei, who had a headache in front of him, had finished scribbling ink, Mao Jue waved his hand violently with a vein in his head.

"Boom away!"

Luckily, there were genuine soldiers from Liu Chong here, who grabbed the sleeves of a few old men and pulled them out. While being dragged, the old man on crutches turned his head and shouted loudly.

"General! I beat the Bishou Pavilion! I followed Li Chengliang to fight against the local barbarians. The old man is quite old and still able to eat!"

A few old men walked away, followed by a few big pancake faces who were not bad, about 30 or [-] years old, and their physique was considered strong, but Su Changmei, who was in charge of registering and recruiting, was fooled by all of them at that time. He is from Korea. He probably got the news from North Korea. He couldn’t find it on the household registration of Tieshan Town. After talking about chickens and ducks for a long time, Mao Jue flicked his sleeves again. .

"Drag away!"

For these two waves of people, twenty minutes have already been wasted. Looking back, there are still five or six thousand people in the thick sea of ​​people. According to this progress, Mao Jue will not be able to choose his own army in half a month. Seeing the throbbing crowd of applicants, Mao Jue gritted his teeth hard, and Mao Jue simply picked Su Changmei out.

Just now I saw Mao Jue and the general's flag, and even the generals selected by Leng Buding disappeared all of a sudden, and the crowd who turned against Yingtian became even more restless. At this moment, there was a cannon shot at the gate of Leng Buding's fortress.

Amidst the astonished gaze of the crowd, at some point, Mao Jue stood on the city wall with his flag. In front of him, Su Changmei yelled heart-piercingly like killing a pig.

"The general has an order that all applicants should march towards Jialao Mountain. Only those who can keep up with the flag can apply, otherwise they will be eliminated on the spot! Let's go!"

Before the voice finished shouting, Mao Jue and dozens of soldiers had already made earthen baskets and lowered them from the top of the city. Immediately afterwards, horseshoes neighed outside the city gate, and they watched more than a dozen Tieshan banners rushing down the road. Go, the five or six thousand strong men crowded in Moon Valley suddenly ran down the mountain like a landslide, shouting and frantically running down the mountain.

It was a marathon as soon as it came up. Moon Valley is about [-] miles away from Jialuo Peak. During the period, you have to go uphill and downhill, which can be regarded as a lot of tossing. The weak quilt was left far behind, and the young and middle-aged men who really possessed physical strength could quickly catch up to the front even if they were crowded on the side of the general platform.

When a soldier fights, even if you have courage, you don’t care about martial arts, physical fitness is the most basic requirement, maybe a fierce battle will take a whole day, maybe the one who makes the last knife and shoots the last arrow in the round is the winner!

I really don't know how the conscription is done in other places. Mao Jue's event was really lively. Thousands of people ran across the mountains and yelled as they ran. I don't even know who the dog is. Among them, surrounded by the crowd, yelling and yelling in circles, Mao Jue's fast horse arrived in more than half an hour for thirty miles, and immediately set up a card at the entrance of the school grounds in Fort Garao, and put a timed leaking jar, Stand tall.

Running hot and sweating, panting young men followed one after another, the water in the jar dripped out along the hole under the jar, when the jar was almost empty, Mao Jue ordered the door to be closed, and the soldiers at the gate of the barracks The two heavy wooden doors were slammed shut, and the people who were left behind were shut out of the school grounds.

More than 4000 were eliminated at once, and only more than 700 people came in. Although they were all panting like dogs, at least none of them were old or weak. In Tieshan Town, the best physical fitness group of young men were all eliminated. Mao Jue was chosen by Sai.

But they didn't have time to breathe, and the second round of selection began again. Liu Chong led his soldiers to pull up twenty tents, twenty people went in together, and came out quickly in less than a minute. Cheerful people took a note and went to line up in front of the barracks, while others patted their heads in frustration and went out from the other side.

"What is this test for?"

Mao Jue's method is really new, even Adelaine has never seen it before. There is a blackboard about three meters away, with red, black, yellow, and green pens written on it. The person who has to answer the whispered question of the personal examiner within a few seconds, the mountain character pointed by a wooden stick is up and down, it is red and green!

Curiosity killed the cat, I couldn't help being curious, this foreign girl looked like an obedient cat, and asked Mao Jue with a sweet smile, but secretly, this girl's neat white teeth were already biting and clucking It rang.

I have been played by Mao Jue too many times these days, and I always ask God every time!God, if the old man could hear Adelaine's call, this girl would not be reduced to the East as a slave girl.

But this time, when the girl was about to roll her eyes, Mao Jue answered her in a rare way, pointing to the tent, Mao Jue said naturally.

"The direction of Shanzi tests your eyesight. You can't see the enemy clearly on a battlefield where you can't see clearly. The low voice is a test of hearing. If you can't hear the command on the battlefield, how can you fight? If you can't even see the color of the command flag, you don't need to go to the battlefield."

"With good physical fitness, those who are normal can be regarded as half-qualified soldiers. As for the subsequent discipline, martial arts and archery, they can all be honed in training and war. The barracks can turn the most timid people into soldiers. Be a warrior, I believe in that."

This is almost a copy of the physical fitness test and physical examination of recruits in later generations, but it is indeed new in this era. Even in the West, the selection of soldiers is either based on the status of a noble knight, or the limbs are intact. I really haven’t considered these. Looking at Mao Jue, who was counting at the front, was a foreign girl whose heart was above her head, and her eyes unconsciously brought a wave of admiration.

In the afternoon, the second test was completed. More than 600 people were eliminated and more than 300 were eliminated. The rest of the strong men crowded in front of the general stage full of excitement. In their eager eyes, Carrying the banner, Mao Jue once again set foot on the platform

Chapter 64. Military Orders Like Mountains

Raising soldiers is definitely a waste of money. It can be seen from the fact that Li Cheng has almost occupied the entire land of Liao Town, and he still only raises more than 3000 soldiers from the fact that he receives a large amount of military salary every year.

Until now, Mao Wenlong hasn’t paid Mao Jue’s military salary. If all of the 400 soldiers were recruited, the money alone would be 8000 taels a year, and the food would also have to be the same, not counting their food and drink. In addition, weapons and armor , war horses, rewards during wars, these are all for money. In the last battle of Moon Valley, thanks to the collapse of Mao Jue's musketeers, he was furious and killed five people, or more than 30 people As a slave leader, he had to go bankrupt before the reward from the court arrived.

In other words, with the addition of the original [-] soldiers, Mao Jue would never be able to support him even now that he had lost his entire family. He would also collapse within a year just by paying the salary.

However, facing more than 1000 people eagerly looking into his eyes, Mao Jue still slapped his chest carelessly while standing on the general platform.

"You can persist until here! This general will accept you fierce soldiers!"

"General! You no longer rely on their riding and archery skills? Just accept them all?"

Even Liu Chong couldn't stand it any longer. Back then when they selected Liu Heita's personal soldiers, which one was not a passer-by, who had used all [-] kinds of martial arts, and was selected. Not any cat or dog can act as a personal soldier. Although in terms of treatment, these guys were treated well by veteran soldiers like them, but Liu Chong was also unhappy that a group of mud legs who had just dropped their hoes were in the same row as him.

But before he finished speaking, Su Changmei tugged on his sleeve suddenly, shook his head, hesitated, and Liu Chong also retreated.Ignoring him at all, amidst the cheers of thousands of people below, Mao Jue spoke loudly again.

"Wen Qianhu, you immediately organize a queue and let these people stand in line to wait. They are supposed to be in Su Jianliang Road, and Liu Baihu will go back to get the household registration roster, and record these newcomers in their hometowns when they come back! They will serve as soldiers and get paid!"

But before the next point, Mao Jue added another sentence heavily.

"Before I come back, you wait quietly, don't leave the team, don't leave without authorization!"

Wen Meng took the soldiers under his hands, and pushed the recruits under his shoulders very roughly. He pushed them back and forth, and told them how to stand in line. After dizzying back and forth, Mao Jue walked off the general platform swaggeringly with several important generals and personal troops.

It was already around four o'clock in the afternoon after the physical examination, and the minutes and seconds began to pass while the recruits waited happily.

It was the end of July at this time, and it was not cold, but at sunset, the scorching heat still came up. I ran a marathon all morning in the morning, and started busying with Mao Jue's weird physical examination before lunch. Now, this Dry mouth began to pop up, and some people looked around restlessly.

"Hey, I'm asking you, when will the general come back!"

People are really realistic. Before Shang Kexi’s general Qianhu, the Mongol Humeng also came to choose this soldier. It is probably to recruit a soldier officer or something, and he needs more money to buy wine and meat.This old man is also really grumpy. In less than 10 minutes, he impatiently picked up the collar of a soldier standing guard around the crowd and asked in a growl.

This man had a rather vicious reputation in the army, and the soldiers on guard couldn't help trembling in fright, and cupped their hands pitifully.

"Master Tiger, when will Lord General come back, where will I know where I will go as a pawn!"

"Mother's bad luck!"

With a slap, the soldier was pushed aside, and the thick Mongolian man returned to the queue with a dirty mouth.

Almost another half an hour passed, and even more impatient, Hu Meng suddenly roared in the ranks, blew his beard and stared and cursed.

"Which bitch's belly did this **** general get soaked in, such ink stains!"

"Damn it, I won't wait, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"Hey, Lord Tiger, the general ordered that you are not allowed to leave"

The two soldiers still wanted to stop it, but they didn't prevent the reckless man from slapping and shoving him, and they both staggered as they almost didn't fall.

"piss off!"

Averting the two of them, Hu Meng swaggered out of the school grounds, and went into the tavern in the fortress that has only been open for a few days. He probably died there drunk tonight.

People have the tendency to follow, and they were anxious to wait. Seeing that there was a leader who followed the tiger fiercely, six or seven young and strong or shrewd boys hesitated for a while, and followed behind. He walked out of the school grounds, but this time he was slapped, and the soldiers in charge of guarding him ignored him.

A lot of time passed, almost an hour, applicants in twos and threes couldn't bear to wait, and came out of the queue, some of them were full of complaints and murmurs, let Mao Jue play tricks, their mouths were hairless, and they went to work Not strong!Some are full of hope, maybe the generals forgot, went out to have a meal, and came back just in time for this entry into the military, and the orderly team like tofu cubes that had been slapped and kicked in Wenmeng also began Like cheese, this hole and that eye are missing a big piece.
