There was already a long queue in front of the registration office of the Ning Military Academy on Wuzhushan Island.

After learning that the military academy trains officers, many soldiers have a strong interest.

There is still an essential difference between a soldier and an officer. If possible, the soldiers, of course, also hope that they can get ahead, give orders to others, and shake off their prestige.

In the words of Lord Ning, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.

What's more, this general was personally cultivated by Lord Ning. After all, Lord Ning is the principal of the military academy, so all the students of the military academy are protégés of Lord Ning.

"I said Brother Ergou, this military academy trains officers, so what can ordinary soldiers do if they want to study?"

Hearing this, Wu Ergou almost turned his back on his anger.

"Are you really stupid or fake? What is the use of literacy for ordinary soldiers? Just be able to write your own name. Only those who really want to be officers need to enter the military academy for training. ”

Wu Ergou saw that it was almost his turn, and he didn't have anything to do with that posterior, so he quickly stepped forward and said to the clerk in charge of registration: "My lord, my name is Wu Ergou, and I applied to study in a military school." ”

The scribe nodded, asked Wu Ergou for details, registered it, and instructed him: "Remember, come here early tomorrow morning for the exam." Those who passed the examination were admitted. ”

Wu Ergou was busy laughing.

"Next!"

...

...

"My lord, this is all the lucky boats you can buy on the market. Knowing that it was the imperial court that purchased the ships, those profiteers did not dare to hoard goods anymore. ”

Qi Wen clenched his fists and played.

"Okay, it seems that my face is still not as good as the court."

Ning Xiu laughed at himself, closed his eyes and said, "In this way, there will be more than thirty sea ships. The number is sufficient, but there is a shortage of soldiers. ”

Qi Wen couldn't help frowning.

"This question is a bit troublesome, since it is a sailor, the soldiers must have sailing experience, even if they have not been to the South Seas, they must have fished in the offshore waters. It's just that there are fewer people to choose from. Last time, the adults recruited more than 1,000 soldiers, and they have already recruited all the available people near Xiangshan County. ”

Ning Xiu was also helpless about this.

He is now in charge of Haiphong Province in Guangdong, and it stands to reason that he can recruit the entire people of Guangdong.

However, it is very difficult to implement in practice.

The people of the Ming Dynasty had a strong sense of locality. It is not easy to get them to leave their homeland and serve as soldiers elsewhere.

Ning Xiu naturally couldn't give in.

Since he wants to train his troops, he must use his own way. And since Wuzhushan Island is used as a training base, it cannot be easily changed.

All recruited recruits must be sent here for systematic training.

This is a dead end.

"Why don't you recruit some Tessie?"

Ning Xiu shook his head: "Although the Taixi mercenaries are brave in battle, but after all, they are not my Ming people, how can they be incorporated into the water division?" ”

Ning Xiu, who only recognized these mercenaries who only recognized money, couldn't put his mind at ease no matter what.

"Let's recruit from the fishermen of Guangdong. Since it is a water trainer, the soldiers must be familiar with the nature of the water. Each person gave ten taels of silver to settle in. ”

Ning Xiu had no choice but to use a killer move. He believed that there would be brave men under the reward.

Ten taels of silver is a big temptation. Even if they are uprooted from their homes, many people will come to join the army.

"My subordinates obey... My lord, my subordinates feel that the first batch of recruits should be seen as soon as possible. ”

Qi Wen suddenly changed his words and said, "They have been training for several months, and they have almost mastered the basic combat skills. What is lacking now is guts. And to gain courage, you have to see blood. ”

Ning Xiu agreed.

Qi Wen is the chief instructor of recruits. Since he said that this group of soldiers can fight, let's give it a try.

"Let's just practice with the bandits."

Ning Xiu walked to the giant map hanging on the wall, pointed to a mountain peak called Bishan and said, "This place is fifty miles away from Xiangshan County, and there is a mountain bandit, around a thousand people. They often harass and plundered the people, and do evil for the land. I will take away this evil for the people. ”

...

...

"Assembled, assembled!"

The battalion officers, team officers, and fire commanders of each battalion conveyed orders at each level, and the soldiers in the battalion all came to the school as quickly as possible.

After all, the slowest one to come will be beaten with a baton, and no one wants to be that unlucky guy.

Wu Ergou was going to the toilet, and when he heard the order, he quickly wiped his buttocks, and ran out while tying his trouser belt. When he arrived at the school grounds, he breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, there were a few people behind him.

The last unlucky ghost was dragged to the middle of the school field and beaten with twenty sticks, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of bed for three days.

"This instructor has called you together to announce an important matter!"

Qi Wen swept over everyone with a majestic expression, cleared his throat and said, "We are going to exterminate the mountain bandits!" ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Qi Wen's words naturally caused a lot of reactions in the army.

Quite a few people began to whisper.

Bandits? Do you really want to go to the bandits?

I heard that the mountain bandits are all extremely vicious.

"Silence!"

Qi Wen suppressed the noise with a sharp slap, and then said: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while." This is Lord Ning's order, do you have any objections? If you have an opinion, you can put it forward in person! ”

The soldiers looked at each other, but who dared to speak out against them.

"Excellent! Since there is no opinion, then follow it. The people on the other side of the mountain have been suffering from this gang of bandits for a long time, and we must save them from fire and water! ”

"After I set the specific time, I will notify the battalion officers, the management officers, and then they will inform you. The training is still the same these days, but you can add a meat dish to each meal! ”

Qi Wen's words made the soldiers happy again.

It seems that there are really a lot of benefits before the war, and this meal with meat may be delicious.

"Disband! Let's go back to camp and rest! ”

...

...

Back in the barracks, Wu Ergou lay on the Chase bunk tossing and turning, but he couldn't sleep.

"Brother Ergou, you say, have we really beaten the bandits in this mountain?"

The little monkey poked Wu Ergou's waist and eyes, and asked in a low voice.

Wu Ergou was almost out of breath when he was poked, turned around and grabbed the little monkey's ear angrily and said, "You little turtle grandson, you are so fat that even Lao Tzu dares to move." ”

"Oh, Brother Ergou has something to say. What are you doing? ”

"Hmph, if you dare to poke Lao Tzu's waist and eyes in the future, Lao Tzu will pull out your tongue to make snacks!"

Wu Ergou let go of his hand and glared at the little monkey and said, "You don't need to worry about this kind of thing, you just have to follow everyone to fight." ”

"But, I've heard that there are thousands of bandits there, and all of them are fierce."

Wu Ergou rolled his eyes: "How can there be bandits who are not fierce, do you think they are good people who open porridge sheds and make porridge on credit?" It's not a thousand people, let's say it's more than them. What's the matter, you're scared of this little turtle grandson? ”
