Wang Hou is new here, the warm fire kang, the thick feather coat, and even the meat seems to be better than others.

Until the Song Dynasty, the big iron pot crossed to the coal stoves of every household in the mine in advance, and it was slaughtered last night, and the fresh pork that was hung in the shed for a day and lined up for a day was chopped into small pieces, plus soy sauce, vinegar, and salt and thrown into the iron pot to cook until the oil flowers.

It's a pity that only the strong men have a share of the table, and the old and weak women can only watch from the side, praying that they can divide a little broth from the pot and dip it in the black steamed buns for a while, so as to slightly improve the boring taste.

A few malnourished and hungry thin children kept biting their fingers on the side, a few girls hugged them, and they couldn't stop swallowing saliva, the look of those eyes eager for each other, Wang Hou almost didn't have a soft heart and waved his big hand, everyone had a share, but after all, he still resisted the impulse, and watched Wang Gongzi drive the old man and child aside with the family.

After all, this is a cruel last days, with limited materials, if he is kind-hearted today, everyone has a share, not to mention that he can't last a few days at all, what will he do to motivate the conscripted pro-soldiers to risk their lives to fight for him? He is going to hang up or be useless, such a small group of thousands of people will eventually have to disperse, and they may not be better off when they were in Liuxian.

Sometimes you have to have this ruthlessness!

There are more than 600 strong men in total, Niujia Village and Zhaojia Village have been removed, and when they were tenants for Mr. Cao, the seedlings who could be soldiers were picked up, and the rest were crooked melons and cracked dates.

Under the leadership of those captains Murazheng, groups of swarthy strong men on the faces of Wang Hou, the owner of the black coal kiln, swallowed saliva and sat down at the table in turn, at the front of the table, according to reason, a dirt platform was built, this is a big day, Wang Hou also got himself a steel scale armor with a basin collar, and the heavy steps were all clanging, Cao Hongjie also came over to smoke the fun, and his little face was full of seriousness, but even if she and Wang Fu were accompanied, Wang Hou, who was on the stage, looked at more than 600 pairs of eyes below and looked at himself, and still felt dizzy.

Fortunately, in this era, he belongs to the scholar clan, just shut up and pretend to be majestic there, and speak with his own housekeeper Wang Fu, who is worthy of being a specially trained housekeeper, the old guy is more like a leader than Wang Hou, looking at the dense eyes below, he shouted loudly without stage fright.

"You are fortunate to have the opportunity to select the soldiers of the family, and those who are elected, the food and clothing will be provided by the owner, one meat for two days, and the small master of the family will take care of it, and the ancestral tablet can enter my ancestral hall, enjoy my worship, and the monthly money will be one hundred!"

To be honest, this treatment is really not as good as other families, like those big landlords, the desperate soldiers around them, are all given ten acres of land by their families, tax free, but Wang Hou plus the mountain field is less than 5,000 acres, and half of it has to be handed over to Mr. Cao, so he has no land, so he has to add extra money.

But even so, this treatment is also a rare high treatment in the times, equivalent to a monthly salary of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in later generations, and it is also the only way for them to change their fate, after Wang Fu finished speaking, the eyes of a group of rough men and strong men all lit up.

"Today's morning food, the Lord gives meat, after the morning food, run fifty miles, and return first around the head of the cow to be selected! Come on! Meat! ”

In Wang Fu's dull roar, the large pieces of braised pork with steamed buns that hooked the mouth of the people were finally served, and some people immediately couldn't help but grab the white-flour steamed buns and devoured the meat, but most of them held back their appetite and chewed slowly, this is already the first test, and they will run 25 kilometers in a while, if they are too full, they will have to vomit and lie down if they can't run far, and now they can't control their appetite is equivalent to directly giving up the opportunity.

Those who have a heart have already set off to the north after filling their stomachs a little, and there are also those who don't have the courage to be soldiers simply let go of their bellies and eat to death, and they have no intention of setting off at all, ten minutes, except for these hundred or so who are willing to fall, most of them have already run out, looking at the little black dots running wildly in the snow, Wang Hou can't help pinching the mustache under his chin.

These are the pro-soldiers he relies on for life and death on the battlefield!

…………

Twenty-five kilometers of galloping, more than five kilometers more than the army in later generations, the nutrition of people in this era is far less than that of later generations, this is indeed a limit for the vast majority of people, about seven o'clock in the morning, the first one to come back in the morning has been more than ten o'clock, and then people rushed back sporadically, to eleven o'clock, only to come back two hundred and forty, but by this time, Wang Hou had already ordered to pull up the wood outside the small military camp pulled out alone, and sealed the mouth.

Those who can't come back at this time are either physically weak or have defective will, and neither of them is suitable for the battlefield.

Despite the cold winter and the moon, the more than 200 strong men who came back first were still sweating profusely, and the heat on their heads turned into pieces of white mist floating in the sky in the cold wind, although they were all out of breath, but these people's faces were full of joy and happiness, full of excitement and fanaticism looking at the earthen platform.

This time, Wang Hou finally spoke by himself, standing on the earthen platform, he glanced around with a stern face, and then his voice suddenly became high.

"Congratulations to all of you, you have passed the first hurdle, one foot has stepped into the general's personal barracks, and you can stand out from more than 600 people, you and others are all outstanding, I am very pleased, sir!"

"Now, you are waiting here, this old man went back to the city to get the household registration book, and entered the military registration for you, and everyone will be my Wang Hou's personal soldiers in the future, and I will depend on you and other battlefields for life and death in the future, and make contributions!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Now is the time to be full of energy, more than two hundred and forty young men responded neatly and loudly, the sound of the roof was buzzing, Wang Hou, who was listening, also nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked under the earthen platform.

However, he didn't take two steps, but he came back again, and added a serious sentence.

"I can't leave until I come back!"

"Yes!"

After getting a response again, Wang Hou really turned around and left.

Some people sat on the ground in frustration, some cried, and some were unwilling to shout outside, and wanted to squeeze in and mix in, but they were beaten back mercilessly by Wang Pole with a big stick.

Compared with these fellow villagers, these selected are proud, their chests are straight, and their heads are about to rise.

However, the good times are not long, it seems that the focus is not on the participation award, there is still more than half of the steamed pork left in the morning was taken out by Wang Fu, beckoning the unsuccessful strong men to eat and drink, around the table outside, a group of men are gnawing on the meat, even if they are women and children, they are not so wide at this time, and those who are familiar with each other can also play a bowl of broth and go back to eat and drink this black steamed bun, the sound of eating is transmitted to the small military camp, listening to the sound of eating, these strong men who are tired and hungry all morning began to swallow their saliva.

"Why hasn't the master come back yet?"

He couldn't help but leave the team, slipped to the door and asked Wang Gongzi, but carrying a big stick, Wang Zhuzi was blowing his beard and glaring and shouting: "Where is the master, how do I know the slaves!" Get back to the party! ”

Touching a nail, those who came out to ask shrank back stupidly, however, it didn't take long for them to rub their gurgling stomachs, and a little ghost looked left and right twice, and then tiptoed out of the side of the line, walked out of the barracks under the wooden pole, picked up a steamed bun on the edge of the dining table, and ate with his mouth full of oil.

Seeing that this kid set an example, the line standing in the phalanx was in a commotion, and in less than a minute or two, some people sneaked out, and there were more people walking, and even the edge of the railing was a little endless, but Wang Zhuzi, who was in charge of the gatekeeper, only looked out with his eyes, and ignored the inside.

After a mixed meal, the first kid slipped back the same way, and Wang Gongzi didn't care either.

However, there were still more than 100 nails of Mune staying in place.

This is Sunday, all the strong men have a day off, some of them go back to warm up the kang head and sleep when they are full of food and drink, and some of them actually take a good drill to drill a straw stack, and some people stay on the edge of the railing and point to the inside and listen to the discussions, and the strong men inside are obviously itching.

It was still the boy who took the lead first, and once again he looked at the door and slipped out of the doorway, and not far from the bottom of the haystack, a young girl was looking at it, and the two of them quickly disappeared into a large straw stack.

There is the first and there is the second, watching the king pole don't care at all, and another slippery person came out of the barracks, some went home to sleep, and some were relatives and friends who blew up the cowhide, fortunately, life is quite bitter now, otherwise it is estimated that the wine will have to be shelved.

Originally, it was serious enough, but in the afternoon there was a dark cloud, and the snowflakes flickered downward, and the strong men who were hungry and tired, and their bodies were still wet with sweat, they couldn't hold on, and a large number of people slipped away, two hundred and forty people, and finally there were about eighty left waiting in the barracks.

"Master, I don't think I'll be back today! Let's all go home! ”

At dusk, saying these words that I don't know how many times they have been said, a man in his early thirties sighed and got out from under the wooden pole of the small military camp, who knows this kung fu, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the mountainside, with the tiger and leopard nine horses, Wang Hou is line of color and hurried back.

This time it's fried, in the village settlement, the strong man who reacted rushed back, and the 30-year-old strong man who had just turned out of the pole also wanted to go back when he turned around, but he didn't wait for him to go in, and his head was sturdy and hit with a stick.

"Sir! The little one is Wang Liba, and the little one is the first to run back! Be gracious, sir, let me go back! ”

Covering his head, seeing Wang Hou enter the barracks with a gloomy face, the kid with black lip prints on his face grabbed the pole and shouted eagerly, don't say this sentence really made Wang Hou turn around, his face was as black as rain, he asked gloomily.

"What military order did Master Ben give before leaving?"

"If a day is unbearable, how can I expect you to be strong and brave for me before thousands of troops? Boy, you're not fit to be a soldier, go back and work hard! ”
