III.9 Enlistment
"I really didn't expect so many people to apply, so it would be better to come a few days earlier. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info[η^ζ^δΉ¦εΊ][]. [774] [buy]. [][Library(7764)]" Yin Lei sighed a little.
"Yes, we didn't expect there to be so many people, it wasn't easy to recruit soldiers before."
Yin Lei couldn't help asking, "Didn't anyone want to be a soldier before?" β
"Yes, no one wanted to come even if they were given very favorable conditions before."
"Then why are there so many people this time?"
"In the past, our opponent was the Fish Department, we have been fighting here with the Fish Department for hundreds of years, the Fish Department and the veterans of our Iron Egg Legion have all died, and now the people of the Fish Department and the Iron Egg Legion are all people from our Iron Blood Province, and they are all nearby fathers and villagers on the battlefield, especially near Taiping Town, Taiping Town often changes hands, our Dragon Kingdom and Ziyun have forcibly recruited a large number of soldiers there, although it is a war between the two countries, but they are all their own people, so no one wants to be a soldier, this time it is different, Not only did Ziyun come to the Elephant and the Eagle, but there were also a large number of civilian casualties when they attacked Huijiang City this time, so the people were so enthusiastic to sign up as soldiers. Isn't that why a strong man came to be a soldier? β
"A friend advised me to come, and I came."
Speaking of this, Yin Lei suddenly remembered the letter Ma Kaiyi gave him, although the quota is full now, since he is here, he will try the dead horse as a live horse doctor. Thinking of this, Yin Lei stretched out his hand and took out the letter from his arms and said to the soldier: "General, my friend also wrote me a letter and asked me to hand it over to the adult who presided over the conscription, I wonder if the general can convey it for me?" β
"Oh, your friend also wrote a letter, but I think it should be useless, many people were sent back by adults a few days ago."
At this moment, more than a dozen people came out of it, three of them walked in front, the first one had thin cheeks but was extremely energetic, his skin was slightly dark, and his eyes were shining, and he knew at a glance that he was a master of the house. His left hand is a middle-aged man with big ears, a Chinese face, fair skin, big eyes, and a tall figure, and his status may be slightly lower than the person in the middle, but no one dares to underestimate him when the two stand together.
On the far right is a weak scholar, and the long Si Siwen is very delicate.
As soon as the three of them went out, they saw Yin Lei holding a letter and talking to the soldier guarding the door, and the man in the middle couldn't help but stop and said, "Rong Ming, what's the matter?" β
"Lord Zhang, this strong man is here to apply, but he is late, and the friend who recommended him to come wrote a letter to him saying that it was handed over to Lord Zhang, and the villain is wondering if he wants to ......."
"Oh, who recommended you? Give me the letter. β
Saying that, this person slowly came to Yin Lei and stretched out his hand, Yin Lei looked at it, handed over the letter with both hands, and said: "The one who recommended the villain is Ma Kaiyi, the general of the Seven Guards Gushan Clan of the Xing'an Corps. β
After listening to Yin Lei's words, the three of them were obviously the same, but Yin Lei saw it but didn't know why. After listening to this, the man in the middle glanced at Yin Lei again before opening the letter, and after reading it, he handed the letter to the two people around him and said, "Two virtuous brothers, let's take a look." β
After a while, the two people around him looked Yin Lei up and down a few times, and then handed it over to Lord Zhang in the middle, who closed the letter and said, "What's your name?" β
"The villain's surname is Xuanyuan."
"Well, since it was recommended by General Ma, then I will make an exception to accept you, we are just going to the southern suburbs barracks, you can go with us."
At this time, the guards behind him had already led more than a dozen high-headed horses, and these three people turned around and got on the horses first, and the dozen or so people behind him also turned over on the war horses.
Yin Lei was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't expect Ma Kaiyi's letter to be so effective, and when he saw that these people were getting on the horse and preparing to leave, he hurriedly went to lead his horse, and said to that Rong Ming: "Thank you for your help this time." β
The soldier named Rong Ming hurriedly said: "Little brother, everyone will be a family in the future, so don't be polite anymore, just call me Brother Rong." β
Yin Lei knew that it should be the same, but said, "If you have a chance in the future, please ask Brother Rong to take care of it."
"The little brother is too polite, I think the little brother has an extraordinary bearing and the appearance of a nobleman, it must not be a thing in the pool, and I have to take care of the little brother in the future."
After a few polite words with this Rong Ming, Yin Lei followed these people and walked towards Nancheng, looking at the gradually disappearing figure, that Rong Ming said to another person beside him: "It seems that he is a person with a backstage, hehe, this time he has a familiar face, if this kid is promoted in the future, maybe he can still have a relationship." β
"Lord Zhang, why do you want to keep this person when the quota for conscription is full? Is it for that Ma Kaiyi? The scholar who walked in front of the line asked.
"Hahahaha, Brother Zhou Xian doesn't know, although that Ma Kaiyi is just a partial general, he is not an ordinary partial general. What does Gao Xiandi think about this? β
"The subordinates also think so, the War Dragon Academy only recruits a thousand people every year, and most of the places are occupied by the emperor's relatives, and then most of them are occupied by several princes and waiting masters, and every year our millions of troops can only get more than 100 places, and all the people who come out of the War Dragon Academy are rarely like Ma Kaiyi who is only a partial general, there are only two possibilities for such a situation, one is that he offended the big man. Second, it was he or the people behind him who had the foresight to ask him to start from the bottom and go up step by step. For a person who can enter the War Dragon Academy, it is basically impossible for the first situation to appear, so he should be the second situation, this kind of person is extremely good, and once he gets it, it will inevitably become a climate. Unlike those who have just come out of the War Dragon Academy and become high-ranking officials, although those people are high-ranking officials as soon as they come out, the potential of those people is limited, and people like Ma Kaiyi have infinite possibilities, this time he annihilated the general of the Elephant Army Xu Zhengyang and four hundred elite soldiers with a thousand ordinary soldiers, and the casualties were not high, even the last general could not do it. β
"Yes, Brother Gao Xian's analysis is right, although Ma Kaiyi didn't say anything in the letter, but between the lines, he highly respects this person, and I think this person has a restrained breath and a steady pace like a mountain, he should be a master, if nothing else, we may pick up a big bargain."
"I see, the younger brother has been taught."
Although the Xing'an Corps also has a big mansion in the city, but the real military camp is still outside the city, out of the south gate but Li Xu is the Tiger Roaring Mountain, a large camp that can not be seen at a glance is built against the mountain, and between Huijiang City is the flat ground of Li Xu, it can be seen that this is usually the place where the army exercises, because the south of the ground is between a city and a battalion, the last time Ziyun's army attacked did not dare to attack the city from the south.
Although more than a dozen people were just Xiao Chi, they arrived in front of the barracks in just a moment, and before the three of them could speak, someone on the camp wall had already recognized these three people, and after a few shouts, the suspension bridge began to slowly lower, and then the gate more than three feet high also slowly opened.
Yin Lei was at the back of the line, and then he found that there was a constant stream of traffic to the west of them carrying things from another small gate to the barracks, and his eyesight was excellent, and when he looked at it, he found that they seemed to be some rice, noodles, vegetables, meat, and other common necessities.
Seeing Yin Lei's doubts, a guard in front of him smiled: "Is this the first time that little brother has seen this kind of thing?" β
"Yes, dare to ask how there are so many people in Brother Tai carrying things to the barracks? Is it true that people carry these things here every day? β
"There are tens of thousands of people in our barracks, and these are all strong young people, in terms of the amount of food, they have to eat at least the usual two, how much do you think they have to eat and use in a day?"
"Oh, I see, thank you brother for your advice."
"You're welcome, my surname is Yan, and there will be a chance for our brothers to be close in the future."
The two of them had already put down the hanging, and the camp gate had been opened, and the three of them ran in first, and the guards and Yin Lei behind him also followed.
This is Yin Lei's first time entering the barracks, entering the camp gate is a square that is not smaller than the outside, in the square, thousands of recruits wearing brand new armor are practicing formation in the square, only the middle of the road is left more than five feet wide, the whole playground is full of the smell of sweat, that makes people's blood boiling cheers one after another, Yin Lei has also seen a big scene, but was still shocked.
As Lord Zhang walked through the playground and through several camp gates, one of which passed by a few neat camps, there were many soldiers in them, and when he came to another camp gate, Lord Zhang dismounted first, and then he said to the guards behind him: "Which of you took this little brother to Lord Liu in the recruitment office?" β
The Yan guard who had talked to Yin Lei said, "Go down." β
"Okay, tell Master Liu to assign him to the camp, just say it's what I mean."
"Yes, sir."
"Little brother, you and Yan Wenqing go, I won't take you over if I have something to do."
"If you dare to bother the general, Xuanyuan is already grateful to be able to enlist in the army as he wishes."
Then Lord Zhang and the others turned around and entered the camp, while Yin Lei and Yan Wenqing turned around and went to another place. The entire military camp is almost as big as Huijiang City, and the soldiers patrolling in such a large camp can be seen everywhere, almost as long as they stop in any place, you can see a patrol team, and the strict security can be imagined, fortunately, this Yan guard is also a celebrity here, almost all the patrol teams will greet him when they see him, Yan Wenqing took Yin Lei and ran nearly a hundred zhang to a camp and said: "Brother Xuanyuan, this is our largest camp infantry battalion here, including sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, axe throwers, Spearmen, longbowmen, shortbowmen, etc., and these are all combat arms. β
Saying that, the two rode over, turned a corner and then came to another camp, far away Yin Lei saw that all the people who entered and left this camp were riding horses, and sure enough, Yan Wenqing said as he walked: "This is the cavalry battalion, they and the Matou battalion are built back to back together, but the gate of the Matou camp is on the other side." β
