After Jiang Shen said goodbye to Wang Guo, he was in charge of recruiting troops.

Under his speculation, although the king pointed out that he should take care of the children of poor families, according to the king's layout, the combat effectiveness of this army should also be guaranteed.

Since the king pointed this out, then the recruitment should not be too arbitrary, and the best thing is to be able to distinguish the difference between the children of poor families and the children of rich families, so as to expand this distinction and use it as a screening condition for recruitment.

So what's the difference?

Jiang Shen fell into bitter thought. After all, he is a military general, and when he comprehends the deep meaning of the king, he is still a little worse than Shang Yang's generation.

"Alas, the king's task was dispatched in a hurry, and he didn't have time to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Lu Buwei is far away in Pingcheng again, and Lu Zixu is now reused by the king, and he has become an official in the court, and he can no longer be my adviser......"

Jiang Shen sighed and thought hard.

He is not a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable, and he is happy in his heart for the promotion of these people. It's just that there are fewer people around to give advice, what should I do if the task assigned by the king cannot be completed?

At this moment, a guard soldier reported: "There is a prime minister outside, it is better to ask to see him." ”

"Oh? Mr. Lin is here? Please, please, please! Jiang Shen hurriedly ordered someone to catch up.

Although he has been leading troops to fight outside, he has also heard a little about the affairs of the court and knows this popular man in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Obviously, Shang Yang knew that Jiang Shen might have difficulties, and Shang Yang himself didn't have time to come forward, so he sent Lin Di to help Jiang Shen.

What a good brother! Jiang Shen was full of emotion.

At a critical moment, the prime minister was able to send a doorman to help him, which was a great favor for him!

And in the end, all of this is due to the king.

Jiang Shen has been an official for many years, and he also knows that if the two of them move too closely, they are generally prone to the suspicion of the monarch, which is not good for themselves.

But in the sea country, the king gave them enough trust! No matter how they communicate and interact in private, the king ignores them, and even has a vague intention of encouragement!

The king does not doubt them, and they will naturally give their lives to repay them!

Thinking of this, Jiang Shen's respect for Wang Guo added a little more.

Jiang Shen thought here, the guards had already brought Lin Dian in. Jiang Shen hurriedly greeted him, and after the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Jiang Shen went straight to the point.

Recruitment, how should it be selected? In order to take care of the poor children and ensure the quality of the army?

Lin might as well listen while smiling and shaking his head.

"General, it's not me saying that your way of thinking about problems is too mediocre, so you can't keep up with the pace of the king when you think like this."

Jiang Shen was stunned: "Then how should I think?" ”

Lin Xian continued to smile: "The general pays attention to military affairs. Don't you know that Cao Gui, who defeated the Qi State, said the sentence 'meat eaters despise and fail to plan far'? So why does the general think that selecting some children from poor families who are stunted is to go to the strong and retain the weak? ”

Well? Meat eaters despise and fail to plan far?

Jiang Shen's thinking suddenly became clear.

After the defeat of the Qi army, Cao Gui became a god in a battle, and Jiang Shen was naturally no stranger to this sentence.

Yes, he subjectively thinks that those stunted teenagers must not have a good physique and are not suitable for war. So it's weak.

But how can the difference between strength and weakness be measured purely by physical fitness?

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, now I understand everything!" Jiang Shen grabbed Lin Bu's hand and shook it vigorously.

Lin might as well still smile and quit.

The guards next to him saw that Lin might as well have withdrawn from the camp tent, and looked confused. "General, are you done talking to Mr. Lin? What do you know? Why can't I understand? ”

Jiang Shen grinned, pretended to sneer, and said, "When you really understand it, you can figure out the great points of the king, and you can go to the temple to be an official." For now, you should follow General Ben and experience more! ”

"Pass my orders, post recruitment announcements, and select children from poor families. Moreover, you must have a skill, any specialty is fine, but you must have it! ”

……

The recruitment announcement was posted, and applicants were surging in all directions.

Those children from poor families usually don't have enough to eat, and their development is not good enough, and it is not easy to survive, how can they think that one day they will have the opportunity to join the army and eat public food?

Many parents looked at their children who were about to sign up for the army, and their eyes were full of tears.

"Child, my father and mother can't afford to support you, but the king gave you a meal for the guy! You must work hard to bring glory to the sea country and the king! ”

The boy also stood stiff and replied loudly, "Death to the one who is a confidant!" The child will exhaust his own skills, for the hegemony of the sea country, use all his strength, let the king be famous among the princes! ”

This situation and this scene can be seen everywhere in the sea country.

Jiang Shen looked at batch after batch of enlisted soldiers and couldn't help nodding secretly.

Who said that recruiting some children from poor families is to go to the strong and the weak?

Sure enough, the king's vision can be so strong!

These new soldiers, except for being a little thinner physically, are all first-class strong in other aspects!

They cherish this hard-won opportunity, so they are highly motivated, train hard, and obey orders absolutely. In terms of the entire military appearance, it is much stronger than the kind of fishing in troubled waters!

If Jiang Shen is allowed to directly train this kind of army, there is no need to play any tricks at all. The glory of the sea kingdom is the creed of these soldiers!

In addition, they all have a skill, and at critical moments, these inconspicuous little specialties can affect the entire battle situation!

Jiang Shen couldn't help but nod again and again.

In his opinion, if this group of people can be trained properly, then the forbidden army of Haiguo, which is known as the three thousand elites, will not be the opponent of these soldiers!

As for these people's poor physical fitness, they can't withstand the high intensity of the war?

The three times the military salary and the top-notch food and lodging conditions ordered by the king were to strengthen their physical fitness!

Moreover, Jiang Shen also found that although the children of these poor families are not so healthy, they usually participate in a lot of labor at home, so they are far more flexible than ordinary people, and they are more able to endure hardships.

As long as they can persevere, with the king's investment in this army, when the only shortcoming of physical fitness is filled, I am afraid that this army will become a nightmare among the princes!

Lin might as well listen to Jiang Shen's introduction, and also smiled: "Then, I'll trespass and give this army a name - Baishan Army!" ”

Hundred Shan Army!

It is not only the goodness of "working to do a good job", but also the goodness of goodwill!

Three thousand soldiers, each with a skill, will be able to "do a good job", and it can also show the king's care and kindness to the poor people!

This army should shock the princes and become famous all over the world!

This army, exclusive to the sea country, is called the Baishan Army!
