In the training ground of the Dongjiang Army camp, 2,000 young men who had traveled from Shaanxi gathered in a chaotic manner. All around are 5,000 Dongjiang troops standing and guarding.

The rigor of the Dongjiang Army was in stark contrast to the chaotic young men in the training ground, and Cheng Zuo and Liu Guangzuo looked disdainful.

The two of them had already learned from Chen Jisheng's mouth that these people in front of them were those so-called rebel troops. As for them, it is no wonder that they will be scattered by the imperial army and defeated in a fight.

Under the scorching sun and the enchanting wind and sand, these recruited rebels have begun to become impatient. If it weren't for the murderous spirit of the Dongjiang Army guarding the periphery, these people would have rebelled a long time ago.

At the beginning, I was coaxed here for a delicious thing called sweet potato. Originally, they all thought that if they met a local tyrant, they would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future, but when they came, they were all exposed to the scorching sun for a whole hour.

Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou came to the outside of the training ground together and set up a small pergola on the south side of the training ground. Mao Wenlong, Chen Jisheng, and Hong Chengchou walked up.

Seeing Mao Wenlong's arrival, Liu Guangzuo and Chengzuo immediately stepped forward to salute, saying: "Chief soldier!" ”

Mao Wenlong raised his hand with one hand, and after signaling the two of them to be exempt, he asked, "Those are the newly recruited soldiers on the training ground, right?" ”

Cheng Zuo looked disdainful, stepped forward and said: "Chief soldier, these people have no discipline at all, if you want them to join our Dongjiang Army, I am afraid it will damage the military prestige of the Dongjiang Army." ”

Liu Guangzuo also stepped forward and said: "Please don't integrate them into the Dongjiang Army, and set up another army to let them go out independently." ”

A hint of displeasure flashed on Mao Wenlong's face, and he said coldly: "Nonsense, it's true that the Dongjiang Army is an elite soldier, but it's not also from a new recruit." If you do this, how will the Dongjiang Army expand in the future? ”

Liu Guangzuo still did not give up, and said again: "General soldier, our Dongjiang Army has always only needed elite soldiers and not new soldiers. Even if they want to join the Dongjiang Army, they have to be carefully selected. ”

Chen Jisheng obviously agrees with this point of view, this guy has been secretly giving Liu Guangzuo and Chengzuo a look.

Mao Wenlong did not immediately respond to Chengzuo and Liu Guangzuo, but looked up at the rebel army that had been recruited. Soon Mao Wenlong discovered that something was wrong, indeed, these rebel armies could not be called armies at all.

At this moment, the rebel army is facing the scorching sun, and all of them have impatient looks on their faces, but the Dongjiang Army, which is also exposed to the sun, is still in order.

At this moment, it is already possible to distinguish the gap between the two armies. No wonder Chengzuo and Liu Guangzuo would strongly oppose them joining the Dongjiang Army.

After thinking about it for a while, Mao Wenlong said: "In this way, you first select some people with more potential, and let them join the Dongjiang Army first and train with the veterans, so that they may be able to improve the fastest." ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong continued: "The rest of the people will start from the first stage of training, for a month, and after a month, they will be assessed, and those who do not pass the test will be eliminated. Arrange some fields and let them go farming. ”

Hearing Mao Wenlong's concessions, Chen Jisheng, Chengzuo, and Liu Guangzuo were all relieved.

As they wished, they did not let these rebels enter the Dongjiang Army.

Originally, if there were veterans and new recruits, the quality of the entire army could be improved to the greatest extent. This is the best choice, but now it is a real headache to divide an army with no combat effectiveness.

And Mao Wenlong knows that this is just the beginning, and there should be people coming one after another. Mao Wenlong conservatively estimated that there must be at least 10,000 people.

The more people there are, the more difficult it is to cover everything, and 10,000 recruits and 10,000 Dongjiang troops, both sides are about the same number, which is difficult to control.

After listening to Mao Wenlong's instructions, Chen Jisheng immediately stepped forward to receive the order, but just as Chen Jisheng was about to leave, Mao Wenlong suddenly shouted to him: "Give them a dismount and give them a good shock!" ”

Chen Jisheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, with a hideous look on his face to promise to complete the task, and then took Chengzuo and Liu Guangzuo to the training ground.

Hong Chengchou smiled sarcastically at Mao Wenlong: "How is it?" I didn't lie to you, I told you that these people are really not easy to bring, and they are not as good as those officers and soldiers in the imperial court, you don't believe it. ”

Mao Wenlong was not angry, and said with a smile: "My Dongjiang Army also started from scratch, starting from new recruits step by step. ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong looked at Hong Chengchou and continued: "Therefore, it doesn't matter what they look like now, what matters is how they will be trained in the future, so that they can truly integrate into the Dongjiang Army." ”

"Oh, you're so confident? You must know that when I was in Hancheng, I fought with these peasant armies many times. As for their understanding, you are certainly not as familiar as I am. They're just a bunch of Adou who can't be helped, and no matter how hard you train them, it's useless. ”

Hong Chengchou couldn't stop as soon as he opened the chatterbox, and there was deep helplessness in his tone.

"Why don't we make a bet?" Mao Wenlong really doesn't believe in this evil.

"Bet on what? How to bet? Hong Chengchou also seems to be interested.

"In a month, these people are trained by the Dongjiang Army, and after a month, they will be reborn. I dare not say that they can reach the current level of the Dongjiang Army, but they have no problem with those officers and soldiers. ”

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "As for what to bet on, just say it, I'll continue!" ”

Seeing that Mao Wenlong was so confident, Hong Chengchou's self-confidence suddenly collapsed. But he was also not convinced, he had seen too much of these outcasts, and he had no loyalty at all.

These people are deeply branded by Hong Chengchou as the label of grass on the wall, and if he believes that these people will be changed, he would rather believe that the sow will go up the tree.

"Okay, bet on it, whoever is afraid of whom! As for the bet, I haven't thought about it yet, so it's up to you to decide! Hong Chengchou looked like he had won Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong laughed secretly in his heart, he was afraid that Hong Chengchou would be too rational and not take the bait, this opportunity would come, and he was suddenly overjoyed: "I think that's it, if I do it, you are not allowed to interfere in the matter between Zi Yan and me again." If I lose, then you can make a request. ”

"Okay, it's a deal!" Hong Chengchou only hesitated slightly, and then happily agreed.

Mao Wenlong had already imagined the scene of marrying Zi Yan soon after. After all, he is a normal man, and if he lets a beautiful woman dangling around all day long, whether he can see it or not, his heart will already be itching.
