Gu Qing's killing of Tian Zhen, the general of Shule Town, spread throughout the Anxi Army and Qiuzi City on the same day.

Both soldiers and civilians heard about it.

Tian Zhen was publicly beheaded after the Ming Zheng sentence on the school field of the Anxi garrison camp, and Tian Zhen's accusations soon spread out of the camp and into Qiuci City, and within a day, the entire Qiuci City knew about Gu Qing's killing of Zhonglang General.

Gu Qing's great achievements in leading his troops to annihilate more than 20,000 Tubo troops are still being talked about by the people of Qiuzi City, so Gu Qing, who shocked the whole city in the first battle, is famous again this time.

Summoned a military general who framed the robe from Shule Town, entered the camp and ordered to be beheaded without saying a word, this decisive and ruthless style once again shocked the people of the city.

Not only that, the head of the military general is still hanging high at the head of Qiuci City to show the public, and Tian Zhen's various crimes are posted in front of the city gate, and the merchants and people who enter and leave Qiuzi City are all in awe when they see it.

After the head hung high for two days, the Jiedu embassy posted a notice again.

The content of the notice is very simple, recruiting tall and strong men for the whole city of Qiuzi, anyone between the ages of sixteen and forty, more than six feet tall, burly and strong, can go to the recruitment office in front of the garrison camp to join the army, the class is the invincible Mo knife hand in the world.

There is recruitment, there is naturally treatment, the treatment on the notice is clearly written, first of all, the rice, and each meal has meat, followed by the daily drill to take the top ten bounties, and finally after the formation of the Modao battalion, the monthly salary can be paid ten Wen.

There is food and meat, there is a reward for drills, and you can also receive a soldier's salary every month. This kind of treatment is simply the only high-standard and high-level treatment in all the armies of the Tang Dynasty, and after the notice was posted, the people of the whole city were boiling.

The final sign of the notice was not Gu Qing, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, but Li Siye, and someone with a heart saw the official position in front of Li Siye's name, General Jinwu on the right, "Mo Dao General".

The first URL

…………

On the school field, Li Siye had a cold face and quietly looked at the more than 300 tall and strong soldiers lined up in front of him.

Most of these soldiers were selected from the Anxi garrison, and a small number of people from Qiuci City, in recent days, Li Siye carefully screened the Anxi Army and the young men of Qiuci City from beginning to end, and even did not hesitate to lower some selection criteria slightly, but still only selected more than 300 barely qualified Mo Dao Fighters, which was still far from the small goal of 1,000 people set by Gu Qing.

No way, Li Siye tried his best, if the body shape is not good, this is innate, and it cannot be made up for by other methods, and the most important condition for a qualified Mo knife hand is to be burly and strong, standing in the team and dancing the Mo knife, to be as immovable as a Mount Tai, everyone in the queue is an unshakable castle, an unconquerable mountain.

The reason why Mo Dao Hand can be famous all over the world is that he is strong and stable, but Li Siye selected the whole army and the whole city, and barely managed to gather enough about 300 people.

Li Siye stood in front of the team, looking at the more than 300 people in front of him, and sighed secretly in his heart.

In fact, the scale of the Modao battalion corresponds to different battlefield situations, such as the Modao battalion of about 300 people, suitable for garrisoning some narrow roads such as mountain passes and other places where the roads are relatively narrow and cannot be opened, a Modao battalion of 300 people wields Modao in a narrow area, which is enough to block the attack of 10,000 enemies and defend the pass without leaking.

And a thousand-person Modao battalion, then the role it can play on the battlefield is very terrifying, it can be deployed in the open plain, step by step to launch an active attack on the enemy, Modao swings up and moves forward, can force the enemy's tens of thousands of troops to avoid, or be twisted into piles of minced meat.

And the existence of the Modao battalion can even withstand the enemy's cavalry. "Mo knife" this weapon was carried forward, originally in the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan period, when in order to resist the northern Turks and research out of the weapon, because the Turks are cavalry, the number of war horses in the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan is not enough, in the case of infantry resistance to cavalry is very lossy, Mo knife came into being.

The shape and use of the Mo knife are evolved from the weapons of the Western Han Dynasty, and the name of this ancient weapon is "Broken Horse Sword", which was born for the cavalry.

It is very difficult, very difficult to train a thousand-person Modao battalion.

Li Siye didn't know what Gu Qing could do to get money, a thousand-person Modao battalion was simply a gold-swallowing monster, and the young marquis must be forced to jump from the city tower in a short time.

Li Siye didn't know why Gu Qing wanted to set up such a large-scale Modao battalion, it is said that his battalion is full of cavalry, which is considered a very good type of military in the world, if there is a thousand-person Modao battalion, if it is properly matched in wartime, this army under the command of Hou Ye is simply invincible in the world.

So the question is, is it worth spending so much money to form a Modao battalion?

In Li Siye's eyes, with the invincible Tang Dynasty cavalry, the Modao Battalion can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, and there is no special need for existence, but since Hou Ye is determined to be formed, Li Siye has accepted Gu Qing's favor, so naturally he will help him complete it without saying a word.

The autumn breeze on the battlefield is rising, and the killing spirit is soaring into the sky.

Li Siye stood majestically in the autumn wind, took a deep breath, and said loudly to the more than three hundred Mo Dao Fighters in front of him: "Ben will be ordered to form the Mo Dao Battalion, and you are all among the selected, first of all, I want to tell you that an excellent Mo Dao Fighter must have abundant strength and great patience, so the first thing you need to practice after entering the camp is to boil up your strength." ”

"The stone rollers in front of you, each weighing about 100 catties, the goal of your current practice is to lift the stone roller, each person at least 200 times a day, 200 times, there is a reward, less than 200 times, the penalty is ten laps of the school field."

Most of the selected Modao soldiers are soldiers of the Anxi Army, and there are also a small number of people in Qiuzi City, all of whom are tall and strong people, and their motives for recruiting the Modao Battalion are very simple, purely for the Modao Battalion to be able to manage food, eat meat, and receive rewards, and there is a monthly salary, such attractive conditions, who is not tempted?

But they didn't expect that on the first day of entering the camp, they would have to lift a hundred catties of stone rollers two hundred times, which was an almost impossible task, everyone looked at each other, but under Li Siye's cold gaze, the soldiers had to struggle to lift the stone rollers in front of them, again and again.

A figure stood quietly behind Li Siye, Li Siye seemed to be aware, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Gu Qing, and hurriedly saluted.

Gu Qing held his arm and said with a smile: "You are busy with you, I will take a look casually, no need to be polite." ”

Li Siye pointed to more than 300 Mo swordsmen and said with a wry smile: "Master Hou, the last general is sorry for you, the whole army has searched all over the city, and only these people have been found, and it is really impossible to make up a thousand." ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "I don't blame you, the conditions of recruiting Mo swordsmen are harsh, we can't fill the numbers indiscriminately, it's better to be strict, and it's better to be lacking than indiscriminate." In a short time, presumably Chang'an will have more troops to fill the Anxi army, and the number is about a lot, and at that time, I will authorize you to select people from those new soldiers, and the goal of 1,000 people must be achieved. ”

Li Siye hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There is also the matter of Modao......

Gu Qing sighed and said: "I have built a few blacksmith shops outside Qiuzi City, bought a lot of pig iron from Hu Shang, and recruited more than 20 blacksmiths to make Mo knives day and night. ”

Li Siye said gratefully: "If you can get the grace of the Hou Ye, you will definitely follow the work of dogs and horses." ”

Gu Qing's face was bitter, and he sighed faintly: "I really didn't expect to set up a Modao battalion to burn so much money, do you know how much money I have spent in the past few days?" Bounties, buy meat, buy pig iron, recruit blacksmiths, build blacksmiths, etc. ......"

"To be honest, my pockets are a little outstretched, and if I need money in the next step, the only thing I can do is to hang a wooden sign around my neck and read 'Sell yourself to build an army, uncle, come and play'......"

Li Siye's old face turned red, and he hung his head in shame and said: "It's the last general who is embarrassed, and the last general is ......."

Gu Qing sighed, shook his head, turned around and planned to walk towards the handsome tent, took two steps and suddenly turned back, and said thoughtfully: "The soldiers of our Modao Battalion are tall and burly, mighty and extraordinary, and they are very popular with women, if there are many rich women in the city, it is better to let them come out at night to engage in side jobs, and it can be regarded as sacrificing their lives for the country......"

Halfway through the words, Gu Qing stopped his mouth again, and sighed abruptly: "Forget it, it sounds like a little undisciplined to do this, my damn face with nowhere to put it......"

Sigh as you walk away.

Li Siye looked at Gu Qing's back and was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

What does it mean to "engage in a side hustle"? What does it mean to "sacrifice one's life for one's country"? It can't be what you thought it meant, right? Hou Ye won't be so evil, right?

No, it won't!

…………

Gu Qing found that he had become poor again, and this problem was very serious.

Since the formation of the Modao Battalion, the money spent every day has flowed like the water of the Yellow River to an unknown distance.

When I opened my eyes in the morning, the clerks and secretaries in the army waited respectfully outside the tent, stretching out their hands to ask for money, bounties every day, mutton to buy every day, pig iron, millet and armor every day, all kinds of purchases, all kinds of money.

Gu Qing had the heart to kill the account room.

Originally, Gu Qing made a lot of money from the merchants by expanding the city and building a market to sell shops, but after the Modao Battalion was formed, the money was spent less and less, and the more it was spent, the less it was spent.

No wonder the Modao Battalion has such a terrifying attack ability, but Gao Xianzhi seems to turn a blind eye, and only a three-hundred-person Modao team has been left in Shule over the years, and it will not be expanded from then on, selecting people is one thing, I am afraid that the biggest difficulty is the expenditure of money, Gu Qing finally tasted the bitter fruit.

Walking in Qiuzi City in late autumn, Gu Qing put his hands in his sleeves, and his waist was slightly bent, like an old man who was bent over by the burden of life.

Raising his eyelids listlessly, Gu Qing looked at Han Jie next to him, and said lazily: "Go and tell Li Sima of the Jiedu Embassy, I will give him three more days, and the four newly built market shops must be completed in three days, if he fails to finish it on time, I will chop him piece by piece and mix it into the meat that the soldiers eat every day, so fat one person is at least enough for the soldiers to eat for a day." ”
