Chapter 56: Interview

In the Hulin Army barracks, the recruiting office, the young men who came to join the army were interviewed in turn, which was similar to the interview during recruitment, and the "employer" had to first see whether the recruits were able-bodied and had normal brains. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Different from previous years, the Hulin Army began to recruit troops on a regular basis this year, as long as it is a young man who is interested in joining the army, he can come to Xiyang City to join the army at any time.

If there is a disability that affects the operation, the personnel at the information desk will dissuade them from quitting, because even if the other party goes to the barracks for an interview, they will definitely not accept it, and if they have a slight disability, such as missing fingers or toes, or if they look "hideous", they can go to the barracks to give it a try.

There weren't many people who came to recruit today, so it was soon Zhang Dinghe's turn, and he walked into a small room, and the two men in military uniforms behind the bookcase motioned for him to sit on the Hu bed.

"Famous."

"Zhang Dinghe."

"Origin."

"Jing Zhao Wan Nian."

The normal opening was all expected by Zhang Dinghe, but then the problem was different.

"Zhang Dinghe, how did you know that the Tiger Forest Army was recruiting?"

"I heard it from someone in Xiakou, Ezhou."

"Who? Merchant? Peddler? Government official? Soldier? Or ordinary people? ”

"Clerk."

"Are they small talking, or are they specifically speaking to you?"

"It's small talk, I heard it, and then I inquired for a long time, and I didn't dare to believe it until I was sure."

The recruiters asked Zhang Dinghe who he was looking for, and as if he were peeling back a cocoon, he determined his source and made a record, and then continued to ask questions, this time it was more "normal": his experience.

Of course, you can not answer, but you have to be responsible for it, if there is a criminal record, Hulinjun will not report to the official, but if you conceal it and don't say it, it will be found out in the future depending on the severity of the situation and dealt with separately, as for other past events, it is okay to say it or not.

Zhang Dinghe didn't plan to hide anything, he has always been an upright person, so he briefly introduced his experience.

He is twenty-five years old this year, a native of Jingzhao Wannian, born and raised in Chang'an, and his family is poor, but he was fortunate enough to study for a few years, and when he became an adult, he was selected as a guard and took turns in the palace.

Of course, he was the guard of the palace of the Sui State, the year before last the Zhou army entered Chang'an, after controlling the situation, the palace guards naturally had to be disposed of, some people were retained, some people were arrested, some people were placed under house arrest, some people were dismissed, Zhang Dinghe was one of the people who were dismissed.

His family was not well-off, his parents had passed away, and the main source of livelihood for the family after he got married was his servant, and his daughter-in-law helped others to do the work to subsidize the family, and life became more and more difficult after being dismissed.

Because of the poor harvest of farmland affected by the war, the government moved the people of Guanzhong to settle in Shannan, and the residents around Chang'an bore the brunt, and Zhang Dinghe's family was no exception, and came to Ezhou, south of the Yangtze River, to settle down.

The couple is young and strong, and after settling down in Zhixiakou, Ezhou Prefecture, life is quite good, but Zhang Dinghe has studied and has the ambition to make contributions, and he does not want to grow old in the fields.

Listen to that one-legged bronze man with outstanding military achievements... The king of Xiyang was recruiting soldiers, and Zhang Dinghe had the heart to join the army and took his daughter-in-law to Xiyang by boat to enlist.

"You have been a palace guard of the Sui Kingdom?"

"Yes."

Zhang Dinghe was a little nervous after answering, this can be said to be a problem, he was sent home, not absorbed into the Zhou army, it was this problem that caused trouble, but...

That traitorous minister Zheng Yi can be tolerated by the King of Xiyang, I'm just an ordinary guard, there's no reason to be turned away because of this, right?

"You've been a guard, do you want to be skilled?"

"Yes."

"Bows, horses, lances, knives, what are you good at?"

"Both."

The recruiter nodded, wrote down Zhang Dinghe's answers one by one, and then smiled slightly: "Zhang Dinghe, you didn't hide that you were a palace guard of the Sui Kingdom, which is very good, but don't worry, the Hulin Army doesn't care about this kind of thing." ”

Zhang Dinghe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his originally clenched fist was released.

"Next is the medical examination, is there anything you don't want people to know?"

"Nope."

"Please follow me."

'A physical examination is probably to check whether there is a disability on the body, right? Zhang Dinghe thought so, followed the other party to another room, and found that there were already many people inside, all of whom were young people who had just been interviewed.

Everyone stood against the wall, measured their height and weight in turn, and then went shirtless and rolled up their trouser legs as required, and the other party began to check their limbs, Zhang Dinghe looked left and right, some people were skinny, and some people had some muscles.

After checking the fingers and toes, the joints of the hands and feet, and the soles of the hands and feet, and touching the ribs of each person, and then asking people to squat, stretch their arms and other actions in turn, and doctors came to look at them one by one to determine whether everyone had any serious diseases.

The most embarrassing thing is to let people check the valley crossing bare-chested, of course, the recruiter will explain in advance, and if you don't want to, you can refuse, but you will lose the opportunity to join the army.

Embarrassment is embarrassment, Zhang Dinghe is not even afraid of death, where will he be afraid of embarrassment, the doctor in charge of the examination is an old man, and he can probably be his grandfather at that age, so Zhang Dinghe has no objection, and the others are the same.

After the examination, I thought that the physical examination was over, and the results still had examination items.

The first item, eyesight, stands at a certain distance and looks at a long strip of white paper hanging on the wall, on which are drawn the large and small inverted "mountain" characters, some to the right, some to the left, the recruiter points to which word with a wooden stick, and the examinee says which side it is falling.

Zhang Dinghe can distinguish between left and right, and his eyesight is also very good, and he can see the small font in the bottom line, so he quickly passed the inspection, but some people are not divided between left and right, and it took a while to complete the inspection.

I thought this was the end of this item, but it turned out that there was another content, that is, to let people see the atlas, the pattern on it is composed of small pieces of red, green and blue, and different animals are formed in the three color shading, such as pigs, cows, sheep, dogs, etc.

The examinee had to say what animal he saw, and for fear that everyone would not understand, the recruiter took out a picture and explained it.

Unheard of inspection items, but it is difficult for Zhang Dinghe, some of the other examinees were successfully identified, while others failed to see it, he didn't know what the meaning of such an examination was.

In the second case, listening, the person is seated and the doctor holds a small fork and rings it behind him or in either the left ear or the right ear, and the person is asked to say whether the source of the sound is on the left or right behind him.

This is effortless for Zhang Dinghe, but some people are left and right, and it took a while to complete the inspection.

The physical examination was finally over, the recruiter took a piece of paper in his hand and read his name, and the young men who came to apply were led out in turn, Zhang Dinghe was called by name and followed the soldier to a room to wait, until no one came in, and a man in military uniform in the room said:

"Congratulations on passing the interview with our army, let me ask again, this is the Hulin Army, the military discipline is strict, the requirements are very high, come here to be a soldier, you have to suffer and be tired, can you do it?"

"Okay!"

"Be louder, I can't hear you!"

"Okay!"

。。。。。。

In the courtyard next to the main gate of the barracks, a woman sat quietly on the Hu bed with a package, and she didn't stick a drop of water brought by the reception staff, and whenever someone at the gate of the courtyard shook, she looked nervously.

Time passed, she became more and more anxious, I don't know how long later, a group of people walked into the courtyard, she looked carefully and saw that the people's faces were softened, she got up with the package and stepped forward, tightly holding the hand of one of them and whispering: "Dinghe, why is it so long..."

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"That's... That..."

"Passed, and then came the trial."

Zhang Dinghe smiled at his daughter-in-law, a stone fell to the ground in his heart, he successfully passed the interview of the Hulin Army and made a breakthrough in the military road.

"Dinghe, what is 'trial training'."

"It's like a trial job, to see if the recruits are comfortable with life in the barracks."

"That's... That..."

The woman's period Ai Ai, can't say why, Zhang Dinghe guessed his wife's thoughts, and explained: "The trial period is one month, including food and accommodation, you are a family member, and you also have food and accommodation, and the military camp has a dormitory area to accommodate us, rest assured." ”

"Dinghe, if you can't try it out..."

"Impossible!"
