All the Ying Long soldiers who were watching around secretly sneered, as soon as they saw the expressions of these people, they knew what these people were thinking, they had also had disdainful thoughts before, but since they understood the pain of standing in a military posture, they knew that standing still was the most torturous torture.

Ji Feng divided the 40,000 people into groups of fifty, each group was supervised by a soldier of the Ying Long Army, and selected the five who could hold out to the end.

Niu Yongsheng was assigned to one of the groups, although he didn't know how much time this assessment would take, but the military seat above had said that only five of the fifty people in each group could be left in the end, and forty-five people had to be eliminated.

Although Niu Yongsheng has never tried to stand motionless, he feels that no matter how he says, no matter what effort can be spent on standing, it will definitely take a long time to distinguish the winner and loser. The idea was quite simple, but soon Niu Yongsheng didn't dare to think like that anymore.

"The assessment begins." Ji Feng announced.

After a demonstration by the soldiers of Ying Longjun, all the recruits followed the movements of Ying Longjun, with their feet 60 degrees apart, their legs straight, their thumbs attached to the second joint of their index fingers, and their hands naturally drooping and clinging to each other. Tuck your abdomen, raise your chest, raise your head, look ahead, and don't move. The time has come to test perseverance.

These people are also like Ying Longjun at the beginning, they are very unimpressed with the military posture, but after only half a quarter of an hour, some people can't stand it, they are too uncomfortable, they want to move but dare not move, afraid of being eliminated. After persisting like this for another half an hour, someone finally began to hold back it, moved his neck, and moved his already stiff and numb body slightly, but in an instant, he was discovered by the supervising Ying Long Army soldiers, and this person was immediately eliminated.

With the example of being eliminated, everyone was in their hearts, gritting their teeth and struggling to support, afraid that the next one would be themselves, and at the same time cursing in their hearts, who was his grandmother who came up with such a torturous method, but they didn't care about it at the beginning.

At this time, it was the afternoon, the scorching sun was in the sky, it was hotter than noon, and some people began to sweat profusely, consuming a lot of physical strength.

Half an hour later, excluding those who have not strong perseverance and secretly move their stiff bodies halfway, there are still an average of thirty people in a group, and this time is not only a test of perseverance, but also physical strength.

Niu Yongsheng only felt that his mouth was dry, and he was even more tired than working as a coolie on the dock, and now he knew that it was such a hard thing to stand and not let him move, but for the sake of six taels of silver, he had to persevere.

Bang!

Suddenly, someone began to faint due to physical exhaustion, and immediately a soldier of the Ying Long Army dragged him to a cool place.

Gradually, after an hour, there are fewer and fewer people who can stand, and the average group is only about ten, but they are all hard to support, if it is not for the temptation of six taels of silver a month's military salary, few people can hold on for so long, there is no doubt that these are good seedlings.

Ji Feng and Zhou Cao really wanted to leave these people behind, but the rules were set by the emperor, and the emperor said that one out of ten would take one out of ten, how dare they violate it, fortunately, even if these people are eliminated, it is not that there is no room for maneuver, the emperor did not say that repeated registration is not allowed, and these people who have been eliminated can also sign up tomorrow and participate in the assessment again.

Although with this experience, the content of the assessment will definitely be passed on, and those who come to sign up tomorrow and those who are eliminated today will be prepared, but it is precisely because of this that it will be more cruel, and those who are truly determined with perseverance will eventually be able to persevere, and those who do not have perseverance will not be able to come many times.

Ying Longjun wants to recruit more than 30,000 people, saying that it is one out of ten, but it is impossible, how can there be so many young people of the right age in Nanjing City, and the maximum number of people who can come to recruit is only about 200,000, and it is almost the same to take one out of six or seven.

People kept falling, and the rest of them were all starring, relying only on the last bit of strong perseverance to support themselves, and each group was getting closer and closer to the mark of the last five, seven, six

Niu Yongsheng's eyes are full of gold stars, his body begins to shake, his eyes are dark and bright, his strength is true, but from eating two buns in the morning to now, he has been doing hard work for half a day, and his physical strength is consumed a lot, and now he is tired and hungry, if it weren't for the last bit of perseverance to support him, he would have fainted.

Finally, a group began to decide the winner, and within a stick of incense, the last 4,000 people were selected, and many people fainted with a smile at this moment, including Niu Yongsheng.

A total of thousands of people fainted after the decision was made, almost all of them only ate one meal like Niu Yongsheng, and worked hard for half a day, tired and hungry, but they still persevered.

"It's all good seedlings." Zhou Cao looked at the person lying on the ground and sighed.

Ji Feng nodded in agreement, his heart was extremely hot, there were so many good seedlings, once they were trained, Ying Longjun would definitely be able to sweep the world.

Half an hour later, someone gradually woke up, heard that he had passed the test, pinched himself, and found that he was not dreaming, and immediately smiled, Niu Yongsheng was one of them.

With a military salary of six taels of silver, he can take his sister to the doctor, and when his sister recovers, he can let his sister go to buy delicious food every day, and she doesn't have to starve! However, it seems that the military salary of six taels of silver will not be received until at least a month later, and my sister's body doesn't know if she can hold it.

Niu Yongsheng gritted his teeth, and suddenly walked over to Ji Feng and Zhou Cao and knelt down.

Ji Feng and Zhou Cao were both stunned, looking at Niu Yongsheng, who was tall and tall, frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"My lord, can I borrow two taels of silver from the villain first, the villain's sister is sick and urgently needs the money to see a doctor, I beg the adult, and the villain will pay the military salary back to the adult a month later." Niu Yongsheng pleaded and kowtowed to Ji Feng and Zhou Cao.

Zhou Cao thought about it, this is understandable, when he was in Huai'an, he also ran around all day for the livelihood of his sister and grandfather, and now his sister is sick and can't be delayed, but he needs some silver.

"Okay, I'll lend you two taels of silver, but you must double your training in the future." Zhou Cao took out two taels of silver and gave it to Niu Yongsheng.

"Master Xie." Niu Yongsheng took the silver excitedly, bowed to Zhou Cao gratefully, and secretly vowed that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely repay this adult.

More than one person saw this scene, seeing that Niu Yongsheng really asked for silver, dozens of people suddenly came to Ji Feng and Zhou Cao and knelt down, begging Ji Feng and Zhou Cao to borrow their silver, some said that there were also people in the family who were sick and waiting for silver to save their lives, and some said that the family was waiting for dinner, they were all young and strong in the family, whether it was the north to escape the military disaster or the locals, more or less there were young or old family members waiting for them to raise, and now they have entered the barracks, they can't make money outside, although the military salary in the barracks is high, But it will have to wait for a month before it can be distributed, and without their work in this month, it will be difficult for the family to make ends meet.

Ji Feng and Zhou Cao are both big, one by two, they have money to borrow, but a large group of people come to borrow, how can they have so much money, besides, this is only the first day, if the news spreads, in the future, everyone who succeeds in recruiting will come to borrow money from them, and they will not give it.

Ji Feng glanced at Zhou Cao speechlessly, blaming this guy for setting a precedent, now it's okay, it's troublesome. Ji Feng glanced at Niu Yongsheng again, who had won the silver, and was so frightened that Niu Yongsheng hurriedly grabbed the silver in his hand and slipped away, afraid that the two adults would regret taking back his silver.

The corners of Ji Feng's eyes twitched, damn it, Lao Tzu remembers you, and he will definitely train you to death in the future.

"Why don't we play the emperor and let the emperor give each of them two taels of silver first?" Finally, Zhou Cao proposed.

"That's all there is to it." Ji Feng agreed, and then the two entered the palace to play to Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong thought about it, expressed his understanding, and ordered that everyone who successfully applied for the Yinglong Army could advance two taels of silver in advance, which immediately aroused everyone's gratitude, and the eliminated people beat their chests and paused, regretting that they did not hold on.

Zhu Cihong's holy decree caused a new round of more brutal competition, the next few days, Ying Longjun accepted 50,000 people to sign up every day, seven days later, Ying Longjun recruited a team of 34,000 people as desired, during the period, because of the cruel competition, dozens of people died suddenly, Zhu Cihong was silent, and finally issued an order to give these sudden deaths 20 taels of silver per person.

With the original Ying Long Army as the backbone, these newcomers were divided into hundreds of groups and began to carry out basic training.
