When the news of the "big contest" spread, the army was boiling when it was neutral.

If you want to say that you went out to fight a war, you also brought luck, and some of the states and counties you encountered surrendered honestly, and some resisted.

There are also marshals who lead the troops, there are Deng Jian who likes to charge into battle and come in person with soldiers and horses, and Monk Feng who loves to sit in the rear and rarely fights.

The generals at the bottom have good chances, and the merit books are also beautiful; If the opportunity is not good, there is no shortage of people who follow the expedition two or three times to no avail.

There was also last year's military academy, where dozens of generals were selected.

Those who are chosen are naturally happy, and those who are not chosen are not all convinced.

When it comes to seniority, everyone has their own reliance.

Now this "big competition" of the whole army is the time to see the real chapter.

At the same time, with the good news in Wuzhou and Mingzhou, Hou Xiaoming, Shi San, Qiu Wei and others, the Jia brothers, Shi Jin and others also returned to Jinling one after another.

This time, the child soldiers followed the expedition, first followed Monk Feng to "conquer the west", and then followed the south to fight Hangzhou and Taizhou, and everyone's military exploits accumulated half a volume.

It's just that everyone is now 10,000 generals, and the establishment of child soldiers is fixed, and everyone can't be promoted for the time being, so they all write it down.

When the state capitals that turned back to conquer recruited new soldiers and expanded their armies, the three divisions of the war that could not be said to be child soldiers would also be set up independently.

Although the Chuzhou Army's "Southern Expedition" was all dispatched by a large army, there were no immortals in the war.

After half a year of conquest, the casualties have already exceeded 10,000.

Fortunately, the Chuzhou military pension system has matured, and the money is sufficient, so that the bereaved families of the people can rest assured and there is no chaos.

In such a world, even if you sell yourself into slavery, you can't get a few pieces of silver; However, the casualties of the soldiers were enough to house the family with land and money.

More people, focusing on real money rewards.

"The third son of the Chen family has made meritorious deeds, has been promoted, and has been rewarded with thirty taels of silver for meritorious deeds!"

"Twenty taels of silver? The fields in the north of the city can be bought for three or five acres! ”

"What to buy, when you have 100 households, you will be granted land, fifty acres, this is also fast!"

"Tsk, I didn't expect the kid from the tenant family to be so promising!"

After the great drought last year and last year, the people are now at ease.

"I heard that half of the people in Hangzhou City have run away, and it is better for us to Jinling, even if the Taiwei led troops into the city last year, it is also a stable place, and then the city wall was repaired, and now it is no more stable. It is said that the white-shirted army is a Buddhist soldier who came to save our people, I didn't believe it first, but now I believe it! ”

"Whispering, the White Shirts are not the same as the White Shirts. Our Chuzhou army is good, but it's also chaotic outside. My brother-in-law used to open a shop in Huainan, and his family property was copied by Taizhou white shirts, and his daughters were almost robbed. ”

"Not only is there chaos in the north, but last year's 'Eastern Crusade' in Qichun was also a copy of the family and grain all the way, and none of the Yin Shi families were spared, and the poor families were also dragged into the Ding, which seriously harmed many people......"

"And the Taizhou white shirts, which are not good, they are all red-eyed bandits who kill people and kill people, and they use the reputation of the Buddha to go ashore to kill people and slaughter villages......"

"Our Jinling is a blessed land, and we will usher in the white-shirted army of Lord Taiwei!"

Now in troubled times, traffic is cut off in various places, where is there so much news circulating in the market?

Most of the so-called news from the Quartet was arranged by the Taiwei Mansion to disperse.

Jinling is not a happy land, but the base camp of Chuzhou, and it is necessary for the army and the people to be united.

There are many rich families in Jinling, and there are many scholars.

The words "King Ming came to the world" can fool the rural people, but they can't fool these scholars.

However, it was these news from all over the world that made it easier for the gentry to wake up.

The imperial court has come to an end, and only the Chuzhou army is credible among the white shirts of all parties.

The gentry who were loyal to the imperial court and refused to take the Chuzhou military officer examination before also began to pay attention to the news of the Taiwei Mansion and wanted to know when the second official examination would be held.

The people who have long been subordinated to the Chuzhou Army are paying attention to this "big competition in the army".

The local clans, led by the Shi family and the Jia family, are even more looking forward to the children of their own families soaring in the big competition.

"A single tree can't make a forest, although Shi Jin and Shi Cong's uncle and brothers are in the army, but they can't catch up with the two of the Jia family, last year it was obviously our eldest nephew who took care of the Jia family brothers, so they let them enter the army, and now let their brothers press a head, it's really a white-eyed wolf, this foreign surname is a foreign surname person, where can it compare to the clan brothers? Now that several of his brothers have also joined the army, he expects the two of them to be ......."

"Brothers in war, fathers and sons in battle, the eldest son of the eldest nephew is still young, and the son has not yet married, in addition to the brothers around him, the nephews should also bring ......"

"I heard that it is popular to adopt a son in the army, otherwise let Da Lang and Xiao Er also recognize ......"

Old Man Shi is kind, and the Shi family is more worried about it.

Seeing that Shi Jin and Shi Cong's brothers are not what they used to be, everyone is looking forward to borrowing light.

Master Shi really understands people, and said directly: "Now is indeed a good time to join the army, there are many battles, and it is good to make military merits...... As long as you dare to fight, there are also ...... to be promoted to seven products and 100 households a year Even if you don't have meritorious service and are disabled, you can still transfer to logistics and resettlement......"

"Huh? Da Lang is a general, and his brother has to start as a junior soldier when he joins the army? Isn't there a pro-barracks? Let his brother be a battalion commander, no more dedicated than outsiders! ”

"Huh!"

Master Shi smiled lightly: "Is the fifth child joking?" The promotion in the Chuzhou army is the strictest, and there has always been no rule for reactive promotion...... Whether it is a war barracks or a pro-barracks, you can only start from a white soldier......"

The high-eyed clansmen don't look down on those who start as pawns and have a long-term vision, but they feel that this is just right.

The pro-military camp sits in the rear, and there is no need to rush in the head, but it is a good place to boil up qualifications.

As long as the relationship with Shi Cong and Shi Jin is good, when there is a chance to make meritorious contributions, Shi Cong will naturally promote his relatives.

*

Here in the Jia family, the clansmen are also ready to move.

But Jia Yan and Jia Yuan brothers are staring at their thousands of households and deputy generals, preparing for the "big competition", where can they pay attention to these idlers?

Although there are only two levels of participation in this "big competition", the generals above are not idle.

The thousands of households and deputy generals below have good results, and their main generals also have brilliance on their faces; On the other hand, if the grades are too bad, they are also easy to be dragged down and underestimated.

Now the two brothers lead an army on their own, and they can be regarded as a number of generals besides several marshals.

As many as there are praises for the two brothers, there are as many slanders.

"Lord Taiwei has a discerning eye and knows how to use people!"

"What, I heard that it was a distant relative of the Taiwei Mansion, so I took advantage of it."

"The two generals have fought a lot of battles in the past six months, but they have never lost a single one, and they are both 'winning generals'."

"Don't you see which marshal you are following on the expedition? It's all just borrowing light, Feng Shuai and Deng Shuai are out, it's not easy to defeat the battle......"

"Even if you have an old relationship with the Taiwei Mansion, your military merits are real, otherwise you can't be promoted to general."

"If you have a bad character, you can't go long...... I used to hold General Shi down, but now I am pressing General Shi down......"

Jinling Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, both civil and military, there are talents.

The Jia brothers and Shi Jin's beginnings naturally blocked the way of others.

Even if other people now "know the current affairs" and want to join the army, they are one step too late.

Everyone is a smart person, and they know that since Jinling has become the base camp of the Chuzhou army, Lord Taiwei must support the local generals of Jinling to come out to calm the hearts of the people.

With the Jia brothers and Shi Jin, there will be no others.

Just want to calculate, they can't get in front of the Jia brothers and Shi Jin by their side now, so they can only slander and provoke behind their backs.

came and went, and the words also reached the ears of the Jia brothers.

Jia Yan has a good personality, thinking that the team of the brothers is now more beautiful than Shi Jin, but he is a little embarrassed.

Jia Yuan and Shi Jin have been friends for many years, and they know Shi Jin's character the most, and they know that he is not so unremarkable.

Speaking of this expedition, first from Monk Feng, then from Deng Jian, the Jia family brothers have made remarkable achievements, and because of the relationship between "brothers in battle", they cooperate more tacitly, and they have taken advantage of Shi Jin, who is fighting alone.

"When the big competition is over, I'll go to ask Lord Taiwei for instructions...... Let's divide our troops......"

Jia Yuan discussed with his brother.

He had this idea for a long time, not only for the sake of history, but also for the future of his brother.

The brothers belong to the same army, and they always have to divide the main and secondary, because of Jia Yuan's meritorious service, he became the main general, and he always pressed his brother.

In this way, it is better to separate the brothers and lead an army.

Although Jia Yan is not as strong as his brothers, he is a wise Confucian general.

He is already well-read, and after joining the army, he never leaves the military books, and he is not the kind of person who can only "talk on paper", and he only comes out sooner or later.

Jia Yuan has always won all the way, and he has the credit of Jia Yan.

Jia Yan didn't think of himself, but he was only a younger brother for Shi Jin's side, so he nodded and said, "It's good to be ...... like this."

With the increasing territory of the Chuzhou army, many generals have changed to defenders, and the brothers of the Jia family, as generals under Huo Wu, it is not difficult to lead an army.
