Section 423 School Grounds (2)
The selection process is quick and brutal.
Because the most important one, "the bow horse is skilled", most of the bastards were screened out.
By bastard, I don't mean character, but professional skill: horseback riding.
Skillfully manipulating the war horse, swinging the knife and slashing the top of the stake in the process of galloping, the most basic tactical move of the cavalry, immediately exposed all the unqualified people.
Riding a horse is the same as driving in later generations, people who have not been specially trained, let alone gallop and slash, it is good to go up on the back of the horse without falling off.
Therefore, most of the poor children in the health center were eliminated at the first level. These people don't say anything about riding horses and cutting people on weekdays, they can't eat enough, where are the horses for you to ride?
Therefore, the poor are rich and martial. If you want to ride a horse, you have to have a horse, and if you want to be an old driver, you have to have a car.
The Mei Fuxi trio is naturally relaxed and happy at this level. Especially Mei Fuxi, who has been following the old military of the guard since he was a child, is immediately skilled. During the selection, he not only made difficult actions such as "hiding in stirrups" and "changing positions under the abdomen" in public, but also slashed eight wooden stakes in a row with a knife in a gallop, winning a full house.
However, the next "second registration" was rejected by Mei Fuxi.
..................
The so-called secondary registration is a registration with legal effect.
As far as the conditions required for this recruitment are concerned, in fact, those who can complete the riding project have already met the requirements of the organizers. As for the other assessments of archery fighting, they can only be regarded as icing on the cake and do not play a big role.
In the plan of crossing the crowd, the battle mode of King Qin this time is as follows: the army sets off in turn, one person with two horses or three horses.
After the main force has eliminated a certain group of enemies in the "enemy-occupied area," the auxiliary brigade following behind will arrive in time under the guidance of wireless communications and quickly "clean up the battlefield."
And at this time, the main force has already gone to find an opportunity to annihilate the next enemy.
In this case, the so-called auxiliaries are actually the "castrated version" of elite cavalry. The fighting attributes of these cavalry were cut by the traversal, but the skills of long-distance running, horseback marching, and field raid camping were all necessary for the traversal.
So when Mei Fuxi showed his exquisite cavalry skills on the school field, he was immediately led to the secretary's office under the general's stage, ready to register for the second time.
This registration is equivalent to a formal "signing", which is different from just now, and has legal significance. After the passer signs the paperwork and presses his fingerprint, he can go to receive the 100 taels of settling-in fee.
However, Mei Fuxi refused.
He's perfected for today's pretense, and it's time to call it a day. As for following this Rausch southerner general soldier to the north to fight the Tartars...... Are you kidding?
The nine sides of the Ming Dynasty were known as a million-strong army, but they lost their armor in front of the Tartars and were beaten to the foot of the capital. At this juncture, but you have to temporarily gather a few hundred people to fight the Tartars?
Mei Fuxi is not stupid and does not lack money, so he will not go. The most important thing is that he will not put his life in the hands of a southerner he has never met.
War is not child's play, and Mei Fuxi, who has been trained by the veteran army since childhood, naturally knows this. What if the southerners have silver? There is silver, which can only show that this general soldier is generous and can buy a poor ghost who works for him.
But what about military strategy? What about the conductor? What about killing the enemy in battle? If you follow this kind of person into battle, you can't say that you can't go out with your front foot, and you will lose your own life with your back foot......
In fact, according to today's selection situation, Mei Fuxi of the military family has a high probability of seeing through the heart and heart of Cao Zongbing: this group of southerners is not good at riding, so they want to buy some cavalry to fight with the Tartars, and finally take the head to the capital to receive merit.
Identification completed.
Not only Mei Fuxi thinks so, but this is also the common cognition of some veterans and caravan guards who came to the school today to only watch the excitement and not play, and have war experience: Tianjin Wei has many northerner generals who are familiar with cavalry warfare, so why give his life to a southerner?
So when the little school in charge of reception learned that this little brother Mei was unwilling to sign the calligraphy and painting, he couldn't help but shake his head: "It's a pity that the little brother has good skills." ”
Mei Fuxi could only laugh awkwardly at this time.
........................
Although there were some discordant factors, the selection meeting was still lively all morning.
After all, there are more than 1,000 people present, and there are still many who are willing to fight, so from time to time there will be a burst of cheers on the school field: either Zhang San's equestrian skills are superb, or Li Si shoots the bull's-eye.
In short, in this era of lack of spiritual entertainment, some people spend money to provide venues, horses and equipment to invite everyone to perform, which is equivalent to a local sports meeting, and the participants are all happy...... It's worth it just to see the excitement!
More is yet to come.
By noon, the selection had come to an end, and a string of big cars had come from outside the school grounds, and the guys who were driving the cars were wearing some restaurant costumes that the locals were familiar with.
Lifted out of the car were buckets of flatbread with meat wrapped in quilts.
At this time, there was really thunder of joy on the school field: "General Cao is atmospheric" and "General Cao is righteous".
Flatbread was distributed here, and buckets of hot tea were brought out of the boiler room over there. At this time, the atmosphere on the whole school field was very good, and thousands of Tianjin Weiwu people who had blown the cold wind all morning began to nibble on flatbread, drink hot tea, and smile all over their faces.
The buddies in the audience are happy, but the buddies on the stage are not necessarily happy.
At this time, Zhang Dongdong and other bigwigs, who also blew the cold wind all morning, also nibbled on the stage and played the trick of sharing weal and woe.
However, the conditions on the table are much better after all, not only the dishes are rich, but also there is a charcoal stove to heat the whole process.
"My lord, there are only one hundred and fifty people who have officially signed contracts at the moment." Just as the people were eating, the statistics from the audience came out.
After hearing this number, Comrade Zhang Dongdong, who was still chewing pig's head meat in his mouth, was stunned: "Just such a person? ”
This number is indeed a bit less.
Today is the first day of selection, and the largest number of people came, almost 1,200 people. According to the pre-estimate, among the more than 1,000 warriors, a quarter of them can be scraped together, that is, 300 qualified cavalry, and this proportion is reasonable.
On the basis of this number, we will strive to recruit enough 100 people in the next two days, which will meet the minimum requirement.
However, after a morning, when most people had already completed the test, there were only one hundred and fifteen?
After hearing the figures from the following book, Yao Jianjian, who was in charge of the local intelligence work of Tianjin Wei, stood up, walked to the stage and exchanged a few words with a few inconspicuous people, and then came back and said: "Many people did not play, they had concerns, and they were unwilling to go to the north with the southern soldiers to die. ”
"That's right, I said that people can't ride horses at this point, right?"
After finding the crux of the problem, you can prescribe the right medicine: "It seems that there is still a lack of confidence in us. Well, it's time to shine your sword and open the eyes of the natives. ”
So the next moment, a small colonel with a smile on his face stood in front of the microphone of Dianjiangtai.
This school's surname is Wu, a native of Tianjin, with a humorous local accent, and he is fully qualified to be a local TV host in later generations.
After Colonel Wu came to the stage, he first told a joke to liven up the atmosphere, and then he said: After watching the wonderful performance of the Tianjin Wei heroes in the morning, the chief soldier thought it was true, sighed greatly, and kept shouting 666.
So now that it's time for lunch, it's time to have a little bit of fun. Therefore, the chief soldier just said that since it is the heroes of Tianjin Wei who are performing in the morning, then at lunchtime, the southern soldiers under him should perform for everyone.
The sound coming out of the high-definition speaker aroused the praise of all the people who ate cakes, yes, it is time for this group of southern soldiers to come out and show their true skills, don't take a sword all day long and drag it like 2580000.
The cheer show soon began.
The first item: chest target shooting.
Ten pairs of cuirass were first put into the audience, so that Akito could test the sturdiness of the target.
These breastplates are all commonly used by the Ming army.
Mei Fuxi, who was sitting in the pile of military households, got a pair of armor, pressed it hard, and found that the pair of armor in his hand was quite strong. Both the iron armor and the leather strip on the back are very finely made, and the armor pieces fit tightly together, which is obviously the best quality in the arsenal.
Mei Fuxi also saw the mark of Tianjin Zuowei on the inner lining. Needless to say, this armor was taken out of the "small arsenal" that specialized in high-quality products and sold to the general army of the southerners.
After the target was examined, the ten pairs of armor were beaten horizontally and placed on a long table in front of the bread-eating crowd.
Immediately afterward, ten Green Jacket soldiers stood far away under the wall at the other end of the school grounds.
The reason why it is called a school field is because of the large area and can be used for military parades. Therefore, the diameter of the old school yard is 350 meters, which is just used to practice marksmanship.
However, the Akito did not think so.
The Ming people, who have always regarded the 28 big cover as a bird's gun, have no idea at all about the range, rate of fire and power of this gun.
This led to the fact that the people who ate the bread were still eating the bread, waiting for the row of green jackets in the distance to come forward, and the three-eyed guns and bird guns were fifty paces away, and the southerners' bird guns looked more delicate, and the left was only a hundred paces away.
However, in the next moment, with a loud "aiming" sound, the ten soldiers quickly picked up their guns and began to aim at the cuirass more than 300 meters away.
Immediately after the sound of "free fire", white smoke erupted from the muzzles of the ten rifles, and almost at the same time, the cuirass in front of the bread eaters were shot.
In the astonished gaze of thousands of people, some of these cuirasses were knocked over, some were even beaten to the point of jumping, and most of them were pierced in the eyes, and green smoke came out of the bullet holes.
But that's just the beginning.
In the next half minute, the ten elite shooters fired five more volleys at a rapid pace, knocking all the cuirasses to the ground, cracking the armor pieces, and tearing some into pieces.
At this moment, all the people who ate the cake stood up, and at least hundreds of people opened their mouths in surprise and fell out of the pig's head meat in their mouths.
