Raising relatives is definitely a money-burning job, as can be seen from Li Cheng's occupation of almost the entire Tuntian in Liaozhen, and he still only raises more than 3,000 relatives from receiving a lot of military salaries every year.

Until now, Mao Wenlong has not paid Mao Jue's military salary, if all the more than 1,400 have received his own soldiers, only 18,000 taels of silver a year, and the grain has to be compared with the same year, not counting the food and drink to support them, in addition to weapons, armor, war horses, rewards during the war, these are all silver, the last battle of Moon Valley, but fortunately, Mao Jue's personal musket team collapsed, so he was furious and killed five people, or more than 30 Jiannu heads, the court's reward has not yet arrived, he has to go bankrupt first.

In other words, plus the original, raising 1,500 pro-soldiers, now Mao Jue is bankrupt and absolutely can't afford to raise it, just pay the salary, and he will collapse in a year.

However, in the face of more than a thousand people eagerly looking at him, standing on the platform, Mao Jue still slapped his chest with a big grin.

"You're going to make it this far! Ben will take you soldiers! ”

"General! You no longer rely on their riding and archery skills? That's it? ”

Even Liu Chong couldn't stand it anymore, when they chose Liu Heta's pro-soldiers, which was not a pass, all the eighteen kinds of martial arts were used, and they were selected, and the pro-soldiers were not all cats and dogs, although in terms of treatment, these guys were treated highly by their old pro-soldiers, and they could let a group of mud legs who had just thrown down their hoes be in the same column as themselves, Liu Chong was also unhappy.

But before he finished speaking, Su Changmei tugged at his sleeve violently, shook his head, hesitated, and Liu Chong also retreated. Ignoring him at all, in the cheers of the thousands of people below, Mao Jue said loudly again.

"Wen Qianhu, you immediately organize a queue, let these people stand in line and wait, this will be in Su Jian Grain Road, Liu Baihu will go back to get the household registration roster, and come back to record these new Ding in their hometown! Be paid as a soldier! ”

However, before the next point, Mao Jue added a heavy sentence.

"Before the general comes back, you wait quietly, you must not leave the team, and you must not leave without permission!"

Wen Meng took the soldiers under his hands, and very rudely pushed Ding Zhuang, who was recruited below, over and pushed him over, and told them how to stand in line, it was better to kick into a formation like this simple and rude, just like these strong men were like tumblers back and forth, Mao Jue took several important generals and pro-soldiers and walked off the point platform with a swagger.

It was already about four o'clock in the afternoon after the physical examination, and in the joyful waiting of those recruited soldiers, time began to pass minute by minute.

At this time, it is the end of July, but the cold is not cold, but at sunset, the heat and dryness still come up, I ran a marathon in the morning, and I began to be busy with Mao Jue's strange physical examination before I ate at noon.

"Hey, Lao Tzu asks you, when will the staff come back!"

People are really realistic, before Shang Kexi's generals Qianhu, the Mongolian Hu Meng actually came to choose this pro-soldier, it is estimated that it is a pro-soldier officer or the like, and a lot of money to buy wine and eat meat. This old brother was really grumpy, and in less than ten minutes, he had impatiently picked up the collar of a soldier standing guard around the crowd next to him, and asked with a roar.

This person also has a lot of bad reputation in the army, and the soldiers standing guard were so frightened that they couldn't help but tremble, and their pitiful appearance arched their hands.

"Master Tiger, when will Master Jiang come back, where do I know where to go as a pawn!"

"Mother's bad luck!"

A slap pushed the soldier aside, and the stout Mongolian man's mouth was not clean and returned to the queue.

Almost half an hour passed, and even more impatiently, Hu Meng suddenly roared angrily in the ranks, blowing his beard and glaring.

"Which fucking girl is soaking in the belly of this damn counselor, such ink!"

"Damn, Lao Tzu is not waiting, I'll talk about it tomorrow!"

"Hey, Master Tiger, the general has ordered that the ...... who are not allowed to leave"

The two soldiers wanted to stop it, but they didn't prevent the reckless man from slapping him, and they almost stumbled.

"Get out of here!"

Dodging the two of them, Tiger Meng swaggered out of the school field, and went into the tavern that had only been open in the fortress for a few days, and it was estimated that he would die there in a drunken dream tonight.

People are all obedient, and they were anxious to wait, and when they saw that there was a leader, followed by the tiger, six or seven young and strong or shrewd-looking boys hesitated for a while, and they also walked out of the school field behind their buttocks, but this time they were slapped in the face, and the soldiers in charge of guarding didn't care.

A lot of time has passed, almost an hour, and the recruits couldn't wait patiently and came out of the team, some of them were full of complaining muttering, let Mao Jue play tricks, there was no hair on his mouth, and he couldn't do things well! Some are full of hope, maybe the general forgot about it, went out for a meal, and came back just in time for this entry into the army, and the neat team like the tofu block that was originally slapped and kicked by Wen Meng also began to be like cheese This hole and that one eye, a big piece is missing.

The sun fell heavily into the western sky, the stomach was hungry and growling, more and more people couldn't stay, and there were those who came back after eating, seeing that a group of people were still standing in line, they went back again, and more people followed behind to go home, planning to come back tomorrow, and after an hour, less than half of them were still standing in line.

But Mao Jue hasn't come back yet.

Another two hours passed, and the night was almost completely immersed at this time, and there were more than 1,600 strong men who were originally mighty, but now there were more than 600 left, all of whom were the most honest and honest part of the village, still gritting their teeth and holding on, not daring to move.

"Haruko-chan, let's go! It seems that this general is not brought, people are nobles who forget things, what are we still doing here? Let's talk about it later, right? ”

A man wrapped around his neck and yawning walked out lazily, while looking back and saying that he seemed to be in the same village as him, several strong men suddenly lost their patience and walked out, but the name he called, a thin and small half-grown child was always stubbornly standing there, not moving, the queue around him was empty, and he was left alone in a large area, which seemed empty.

After shouting twice and not calling him away, the man with the scarf couldn't help but stop and frown and turn his head.

"Koharuko, you're going to die of this heart! Even if you stand all night tonight, other officials won't come back, besides, even if you choose someone else, you still want a man like us, I can't ask you for a ......."

"Okay, what are you talking about with her broom star? Beware of spreading bad luck to you! ”

Before he finished speaking, another strong man from the same village had already impatiently grabbed the arm of the man with a scarf and dragged him out.

Pitifully glanced back, I don't know if I was hungry, and the thin man's extraordinarily large eyes also showed a little wavering.

But just when he hesitated, two creaky sounds suddenly sounded, just now the man with a scarf and a few young men from the same village who went out together were slammed out of the gate of the school, and then, the torches came out suddenly, from the two-story barracks building, more than 100 Mao Jue's personal soldiers lined up with torches and lined up in two rows of horizontal formations, I don't know when he changed his cotton armor and phoenix wing helmet from the Sanpin Staff, and Mao Jue, who was riding a horse and walking in the front, looked particularly energetic.

It can even be called a double eye.

Qi Jiguang's selection of soldiers is, don't want clever people, don't want people in the market, don't want hawkers and ink officials, such people don't talk about slipping their heads on the battlefield, and they will also pick up others to follow them, and a stinky fish spoils a pot of soup.

What is the military discipline of the Qi family's army? Legend has it that Qi Jiguang Jizhen paraded in the past, left halfway, coincided with the cold rain in the sky, tens of thousands of Jizhen border soldiers all found a place to shelter from the rain, only the three thousand Qi family army one by one compared to the northern Han thinner Yiwu children like three thousand statues, standing still.

This time, Mao Jue is also the method of Xi Qi Marshal, to select the most reliable soldiers, who can abide by his military orders At this time, on the battlefield, these more than 600 people will also stand beside him like a stubborn stone, let the wind and waves surge, and do not move at all.

Seeing the scene in the school field, those who had just walked away a short distance and came back from eating nearby were all hurriedly banging on the door panel, wanting to sneak in and save something, but Mao Jue ignored them for a while, staring at the six hundred people for a few seconds, and then said loudly.

"You wait, it is Lao Tzu Mao Jue's personal soldiers, from now on, Lao Tzu has food, he will not be hungry for you, Lao Tzu has clothing, and he will never freeze you! On the battlefield, cut off a head, and Lao Tzu will reward you with thirty taels of silver! Lao Tzu is in one day, you can all pat your chest and proudly stand up, because you are Lao Tzu Mao Jue's personal soldiers. ”

"Lao Wen, take them into the barracks, rest, tomorrow morning, record the military registration, and send the money to settle down!"

His nephew was happy, and Wen Meng was also a little happy at this time, shouting and leading those new soldiers who were still a little whirring and Grandma Liu into the Grand View Garden, and entered the two-story small building barracks that still smelled of cement and blue-gray in a daze.

Lime was not long in coming, there were still the slightest traces of water on the wall, and the rooms were empty, except for four bunk beds, just a table for eating, and no matter what the structure was or not, a room was crammed with eight people, so these six hundred people were settled first.

Not long after the skinny guy was placed in a lower bunk, the snoring in the whole room was like entering a pigsty, and the thin body sank into the soft cotton mattress, but this guy named Xiaochunzi couldn't fall asleep over and over, and his big round eyes were full of excitement......
