[Red Mansion] Let's listen to a general's order

"Hoof da da!"

Figures riding horses continued to file out from the north gate of the capital.Those iron cavalry were not the forbidden army in the capital, nor were they soldiers from the nearby camp, but a high-spirited son of a prince, son of a powerful man, and son of a general.

"Hahaha, it's so lively!"

"Jia Laosan is selecting new troops outside the north gate today. Everyone here is going to try their luck."

"That's not true! Jia Jingya is deeply loved by the emperor. If he is selected to join the new army, he might have a chance to win the emperor's favor. No matter how bad he is, he can have some relationship with Jia Jingya!"

"Hey! Aren't the two in the middle of the group of princes' sons Li Tianjing and Li Tianlin, the sons of the royal family in Chengjun? Those of us who came from generals are lucky to say that they are from the royal family, why are they here?" someone asked in surprise.

Seeing Li Tianjing's way of forming cliques and winning over people's hearts with his words and smiles, soon some of his disciples who were also born in the general family disdainfully said: "My Great Zhou has strict military management. Even if the royal family wants to join the army, they have to join the army. From the beginning, they have gone through untold hardships, and they can only rise after a narrow escape. Usually, the royal family would not ask for trouble, but this time it was Jia Jingya who formed the new army. He didn't look at King Cheng , but also to give face to the emperor, naturally Li Tianjing and Li Tianlin will not be allowed to start from a humble beginning, maybe they will be given a military commander or something!"

To put it bluntly, it was Chengjun Wang's plan to bully Jia Lian, who was young and tender, and wanted to gain a good position in the new army, and even emptied Jia Lian.This time, apart from the second concubine and concubine of the royal family of Chengjun, many other families also sent their own worthless dandy or concubine to try.

He Cheng clasped his fists and said, "The soldiers of the Lantian camp have assembled, and they can start selecting at any time."

Early this morning, He Qi sent He Cheng and He Xin to bring [-] strong soldiers who had seen blood to Jia Lian's side for him to choose.

"Thank you, brothers." Jia Lian clasped his fists and replied.

"The [-] soldiers from my Fengtai Camp have all arrived, but..." Gao Cen's son, Gao Kegong, is not as rough and bold as his father, but he is also very straightforward. easy to say.

"Ah! Gao Heizi, when did you become a girl, such a young girl!"

He Cheng and He Xin snickered.

Such unscrupulous yelling is none other than Xiao's father's Niu Jizong, and Gao Kegong opened his mouth and cursed: "Fuck you! Do you have the face to call me black!?" The meaning of intimacy in the words is clearly visible, Obviously, he has a good relationship with Niu Jizong.

After yelling, Gao Kegong finally said smoothly: "In the past few days, many people have begged to go to my father, saying that the family's nephew is going to join the Fengtai camp. , my father couldn't save face, so he had to agree."

Fengtai Daying is no better than Lantian Daying.

If it is said that under the leadership of He Qi, the Lantian Camp treats all officers and soldiers equally, and does not regard them differently because of their status or status, but only emphasizes ability.Those who are able go up, those who are mediocre practice, and those who are mediocre are chased.The soldiers inside are all the elite among the elite, and any ordinary soldier who is released at will can become a leader in other teams. Most of them are from military households and good families of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But Fengtai Daying is far behind in comparison.The soldiers of Fengtai Daying are mainly descendants of various dignitaries. Four or five of the ten who fell out of a tent are the nephews of the princes and generals, and the rest are the kind of military households recruited from near the capital.

There wasn't a single fool present, and it was natural to hear that those rich and powerful children who wanted to join the Fengtai camp for no reason came for the opportunity that the new army would choose from Fengtai and Lantian camps, and they couldn't reach out. When it comes to He Qi, who is stern and selfless, he has no choice but to head for Fengtai Camp.

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows, did someone want to join his new army so soon?

Seeing that Gao Kegong was ashamed and very ashamed, Jia Lian reassured him, "Brother Kegong, you don't need to feel guilty. With the King of Qin in the battle today, I'm not afraid of those scumbags who dare to mess around!"

Since the great battle with Huhanxie last year, all wise people in the court know that the day to fight the Xiongnu and even the other three tribes is not far away. Food, weapons, city defense equipment, etc. have been working overtime to move and manufacture, and they are very busy. open hand.Although it is said that the soldiers' weapons were issued by the Ministry of War, those weapons did not come out of nothing, and were all made by craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry.Therefore, Emperor Wen of Zhou sent his servant He Zhe to see Jia Lian's requirements for weapons, so that the Ministry of Industry could rush to make or deploy them.

While Jia Lian could solve the problem of the source of troops from Lantian Camp and Fengtai Camp, but he couldn't solve the problem of military documents and long histories at the same time.Literati who have the guts to join the army and know how to count are definitely the treasures of all armies. They are all responsible for the distribution of logistics, food and grass, and calculation of military merits after the war.And when the battle is fierce, one or two will always die every time if they don't care about protecting them. These documents and long histories are all non-renewable resources, and one is used less than one, so even He Qi pretends I don't know, but Jia Lian only sent out those good players for the battle.

Even if the Ministry of War ordered the transfer of documents and long history from the army, the chief general in the army would slam the table at the Ministry of War and refuse to let them go.Emperor Wen of Zhou also led troops to fight back then, and the civilian officials in the Ministry of War were scolded by the generals in various ways, beaten violently with sacks on their backs, and punished with countless bullets. He naturally knew about this.So, with a big wave of his hand, the official department sent someone to find Jia Lian to see which "lucky" company did not plan to continue the exam, but those who wanted to be officials because of connections or fellow Jinshi who were still waiting for officials were rejected. He took a fancy to it, and with a swipe of a pen, he directly assigned him to Jia Lian's command.

Seeing this, Li Tianjie, the king of Qin, asked Emperor Wen of Zhou to invite him. Anyway, he had no official position and was light. Together with Kang Hetai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and He Zhe, Minister of Industry, they watched Jia Lian select the new army in the name of inspection.

Niu Jizong glanced at Li Tianjie, the king of Qin who was said to be colder than the cold-faced fourth prince, and thought for a while.

Although he looks rough on the outside, he is really rough on the inside, but after all, he is a second generation of power. After so many years of hanging out with those in the same circle, he should know what he should understand, and he will not be any less than others.Coupled with the fact that Niu Jin's few capable staff members left behind during his lifetime had been analyzing the situation in the court with him non-stop during these days, Niu Jizong could guess Li Tianjie's intentions for his visit today.

I'm afraid it's just trying to win over Jingya.Niu Jizong didn't show it on his face, but he was full of worry in his heart.

Ever since the crown prince killed Xie Zhuang and Yang Xuansu, he has lost everyone's hearts. Although the emperor comforted the family and scholars for him, the prince's various presumptuous actions after that made the emperor disappointed in him.According to the analysis of the staff, the emperor's distribution of the titles to the kings is a signal that he intends to be easy to reserve.Now that the crown prince's position is unstable, all the ambitious princes have wooed the courtiers and formed their own cliques, eyeing the crown prince's position covetously.

Later, I have to find some time to have a good chat with Jing Ya.Niu Jizong recalled the conversation among his staff, and made up his mind to discuss with Jia Lian about intervening in the reserve position dispute.His Niu family was fine when Niu Jin was around, no one dared to reach out to win them over, let alone force them to stand in line.But now everyone wants to take advantage of the ostentatious Zhen Guo Mansion.

Perhaps Niu Jizong's gaze had been on Li Tianjie for a long time, and Li Tianjie's shiny dark eyes met his sight quickly, as if he had seen through his thoughts.

Niu Jizong was not guilty either, he grinned at him, then turned his head, and continued to fight with Gao Kegong as if nothing had happened.

The corners of Li Tianjie's lips lifted slightly, but he didn't say much.

"General, the time has come." Ran Feng reminded.

Jia Lian got up, held the fire dragon Liquan, and got on his horse, "It's time for us to come out."

With a long roar, Ben Xiao took a horse step and started to run.

At this time, it was noon, the sun was in the sky, and the heat was unbearable.

The soldiers standing under the sun on the school field were clearly divided into three parts.

The soldiers standing on the left side are neatly dressed and have solemn expressions. Even though they are sweating profusely, they still remain motionless and stand upright.Others looked at them from a distance and felt a sense of coldness emerge from the bottom of their hearts. These were a group of Lantian soldiers who had seen blood on the battlefield.

Although the other soldiers standing on the right side were not as neat as the generals of Lantian, they lined up a little loosely under the heat, and raised their hands to wipe their sweat from time to time, but after all, they were soldiers trained by the Fengtai camp. Bit, no complaints, it's pretty good.

And the last part of the "soldiers" standing in the middle is completely out of shape.Groups of three or four gathered together and whispered, and some even threw away their armor and sat under the shade of the trees to enjoy the cool, only three or four stood upright motionless.

At this time, Jia Lian brought Niu Jizong and others to the school grounds.

Those "broken soldiers" who had discarded their helmets and armors ran back to the array in such a hurry, they didn't even care about the helmets and armors they put in the shade of the trees.

The soldiers of the Lantian Camp and Fengtai Camp were not as busy as they were, but their already straight waists were straighter and their chins were raised a bit.Under the background of the friendship of the "broken soldiers", their high spirits are even more prominent.

Standing in front of the crowd, Jia Lian didn't speak, and only cleared his throat after the "broken soldiers" in the middle stood up.

"Thanks to the emperor's trust, this general has entrusted him with the important task of forming a new army to fight against foreigners. As a subject, this general dare not live up to the emperor's expectations. This time, the selection of the new army must be based on merit, and there will be no favoritism! Jia Lian clasped his fists towards the palace, and said resolutely.

After only hearing the first two sentences, the middle group of young masters with backgrounds but no strength knew: Got it!Don't even think about relying on the backstage to join through the back door, who can have a bigger backstage than the current emperor!

And the eyes of those bastards who were oppressed by their aunts, fathers, and aunts seemed to be shining. There are many disadvantages in fighting the enemy, but it is easy to get promoted!Moreover, the military has its own faction, and Jia Lian, who is valued by the emperor, is leading it. It is not easy for the family members to intervene to suppress him!

On the left and right, the backs of the soldiers with no strength in the backstage are straighter and their chests are raised higher.

"Ugly words! Now outside the northern border, the Xiongnu, headed by Youxian King Hu Hanxie, have repeatedly waged wars, invaded the border towns, plundered gold, silver and goods, and forced the people of our Great Zhou to be slaves. It shows the wolf ambition of our Great Zhou! The rest of the Turkic, Xianbei, Rouran and other foreign races are also ready to move, and will show their sharp claws to Da Zhou at any time!"

"Once a war breaks out, this general will definitely take the lead and lead the soldiers under his command to expedition to the northern border. At that time, many people will die in battle, but anyone who dares to offend our Great Zhou will be punished no matter how far away!" With a determination to serve the country with oneself when necessary.

Those dandies who were only forced or ordered to come by the adults in the family are even more cowardly. They only need to eat, drink, play and make people with peace of mind.

The corners of Jia Lian's lips were slightly raised, and he was satisfied to see that only a small number of people showed shrinking expressions, while most people's eyes were frighteningly bright.

"When the enemy is at hand, a good son should serve his country and sacrifice his life to join the army."

Jia Lian said loudly: "This general recruits troops, there are three things not to do!"

"Those who love their lives and cherish their lives will not be recruited!"

"Those who aim at glory will not be recruited!"

"Those whose hearts are in the temple are not recruited!"

"Only those who want to serve the country and don't care about their own honor or disgrace can join!"

Jia Lian didn't want his army to become a tool for some people to climb up, and he would never give those people a chance.

"Did you understand what the general said!?"

"clear!!!"

The dense crowd of soldiers responded loudly, and the sound immediately shook the world, making Niu Jiwei, Li Tianjie and others excited. Kang Hetai and He Zhe, who had lived in the court for a long time and had no strength to fight, were even more shocked.

Jia Lian nodded slightly.

"Those who don't want to join our army, come out!"

The first step is to eliminate those who are timid and afraid of death, and those who intend to come to cross gold.

As soon as this remark came out, dozens of dandies with delicate skin and tender flesh, who were obviously from the high school, stood up slowly.

Jia Lian slightly raised his eyebrows, the number of people was smaller than he imagined.

"Stand aside!" Jia Lian continued after the group of dudes left the school grounds.

"Listen to my general's order now!" Jia Lian was wearing a national uniform, with a blood-red cloth scarf wrapped around his dark armor, and a bright red feather pendant swung behind his head ostentatiously. The gun was stuck on the ground, and the powerful and heroic aura rushed towards his face. The iron blood that had experienced blood and fire and the incomparably powerful aura seemed to overwhelm people, making people subconsciously obey his words.

"Where father and son are both in the army, the son goes out!"

"Brothers who are in the army, younger brothers come out!"

"The only child in the family, come out!"

Three orders in a row caused the more than 2 soldiers below to be divided into two parts. The front part was responsible for supporting the family, supporting parents, and taking care of the family members, while the rear part had no burden and could focus on killing the enemy. , Defender the country.

Jia Lian roughly estimated that there were more than 1 soldiers in the area behind.

"Those who stand out, all leave the school grounds!"

"General, I want to stay!" "General! Please let me stay!" Most of the people who came out didn't want to leave like this.

Jia Lian was not angry when someone blatantly disobeyed his orders. Instead, he explained patiently: "I can understand everyone's feelings! But now that the new army has just been established, all the soldiers selected have to go to the frontier to fight. Even this general has a chance. Sacrifice! So you have to think about your parents, wives and children!"

It's not that the soldiers who came out didn't understand this truth, so they had to shout to the rear: "Brother, you have to kill the thieves hard and get back my share!"

"Father, your old man is getting old, why don't you let your son join the new army!"

"Go away, you little bastard! I am an upright man, I can knock you down with one hand! Get out of here quickly!"

Most of them are from military families, father died and sons replaced, brothers died and brothers died, and they have been in the army for generations. They have no fear of other common people when they go to battle to kill the enemy. On the contrary, they think that even dying in battle is an honor. of.

After these ten thousand people left the school grounds, they did not leave. They all stood on the sidelines to watch Jia Lian's next plan.

Of the remaining 1 people, Jia Lian only had 8000 at most.

"Now everyone is running around the school field! No one can stop unless the general tells them to stop!"

The military order was like a mountain, Jia Lian gave an order, and the soldiers in the school grounds, wearing armor and holding weapons, ran around the school grounds under the scorching sun.

Jia Lian turned his head and ordered Ran Feng to lead two hundred guards down to take care of them. If anyone couldn't hold on and fainted or suffered from heat stroke, they would all be helped aside, which would be equivalent to being eliminated.

But Chi Cang standing next to Ran Feng hesitated to speak, Jia Lian turned a blind eye to this.

"General Jia, what is your purpose in letting them run?" He Zhe asked curiously.

He Xin, who was much more extroverted than his elder brother, answered quickly, "He Shilang doesn't know something, this running circle is to see who can't support it first, then whoever can be eliminated, and the ones left in the end will be the qualified ones!"

"Oh! I see." He Zhe suddenly realized.

Jia Lian focused on observing the actions of everyone in the school grounds.

As early as years ago, he had taught Ran Feng and other [-] personal guards both the mind method of Tiance Mansion and the Habayashi spear method.

Next, he will divide the [-] soldiers of the new army into four battalions of Tiansha, Tianqiang, Tiandun, and Tiangong, and then teach them the mind and spear skills respectively, in order to create an iron-blooded elite.

Therefore, he does not need to select soldiers based on the number of enemies killed and the level of martial arts as the ordinary army selects elites.

"General Jia, I was ordered by the emperor to call in the new candidate's son and fellow Jinshi files for you to select documents and long histories." Kang Hetai raised his hand, and there was a small official from the official department behind him. Carrying a box of volumes.

"Then there is Lord Lao Kang." Jia Lian replied politely.I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels that Mr. Kang is quite displeased with him.

"Brother Lao Zikuang, Brother Zizhong and Brother Ke Gong will sit here for the time being." He Cheng's name is Zi Kuang, and He Xin's name is Zizhong.

After all, there are tens of thousands of people running in circles, and there are more than ten thousand people watching. If any chaos occurs, there is no way to deal with it.

It is easy for people who are in trouble to make big troubles.The official positions of Ran Feng and others are not high, and it is better for the He family brothers and Gao Kegong, the three with rank and background, to be in charge.

"Jing Ya, let's go! The [-] soldiers were brought by us, so we are naturally in charge." He Cheng said calmly.He Xin also nodded, indicating that there is no problem at all.

"Where is my brother talking!" Gao Kegong laughed.

Jia Lian smiled slightly, and took a look at the school grounds, seeing that the results should not come out so quickly, she took Kang Hetai and others back to the camp to select documents and long history.
