"Qi Shaobao Zeng Yun has four wants and four don'ts for recruiting soldiers, he wants countrymen who have worked in the fields, people who are black, big, thick and strong, people with strong skin and flesh, people who have a god's eyes, and people who will be afraid when he sees the government; Don't be from the city, not from the government, not from the old and white, not from the very brave and the very small. Our recruitment should also be based on this. In the Zhuangzi of the Red Flower Society, all the leaders are smiling, and they have finally recruited soldiers after many years of struggle. Huo Qingtong held Qi Jiguang's war book and slowly explained. Qi Jiguang's set of selection criteria was later copied by Zeng Guofan when he formed the Hunan Army, which shows that this set of standards is very suitable for the needs of feudal society.

But these are not enough for Chen Jialuo, he wants to build a modern army instead of a feudal army, "add a few more!" This is the first army of the Red Flower Society, and it doesn't hurt to ask for a higher one, and the martial arts sects have to pick one of the apprentices, so we can't just let anyone in! ”

"Hehe, Chief Helmsman Chen said this, although the requirements for each sect and faction to select descendants and disciples are much stricter than we are now, but those are a master with an apprentice, and we are much stricter than them in recruiting outer disciples!" , Seeing that there was hope for the great cause, even the dustless Taoist made a joke.

"Dao Chief, are you looking for a successor to your Soul Chasing Death Sword?" , Lu Feiqing immediately agreed, and a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the hall.

"Okay, everyone will discuss it, and what standards do you want to add?" , everyone saw Chen Jialuo's right hand pressed down, and immediately stopped laughing. This made him feel quite gratified, and his prestige was even higher after this incident.

"Let me talk about it first, we will definitely have artillery in our future army. Artillery is a technical service, and if you don't study arithmetic, you may not be able to take on this heavy responsibility, so I suggest that those who have studied should be given priority. After a period of contact, Gao Zhisi, Yang Dewang and these masters are also familiar with each other, and they are watching everyone thinking about Yang Dewang said.

"If you have gone to school, I am afraid that you will not come to covet these few pieces of silver." , Lu Feiqing shook his head and retorted.

"The two of them have been overseas for many years, and I am afraid that they are a little unfamiliar with the Qing Dynasty. It's no wonder Mr. Yang. Chen Jialuo explained to Yang Dewang with a reassuring look. The Qing Dynasty is still a noble and lowly martial artist, but anyone who knows a few words will not be willing to be a soldier, and besides, there are more or less forces in the family that can afford to read now, even if they are in the countryside. It's okay to protect the township, but I'm afraid that they won't go with us when something happens in the future! ”

"In this way, we might as well lower the age of Xiang Yong, when I was young, I read and learned quickly, let's practice reading during the day and at night, I am not afraid that they will not be able to catch up." , Yang Dewang suggested again.

"That's fine, then there will be Mr. Lao Gao and Mr. Yang!" , Chen Jialuo nodded in agreement, "If there are literate people to vote." Check his details, and if there is a deep hatred between the family and the government, you might as well recruit him first. ”

"Everyone has to find out the details, if there are people from the squire's family who want to come in and get a piece of the pie, they must not ask for it!" Shi Shuangying added.

"In this way, I'm afraid that this Fuding County will not be able to recruit more than a thousand people!" , Zhao Banshan said with a wry smile.

"Of course, it won't only be recruited in Fuding, our safflower club is a person in Jiangsu and Zhejiang! Fourth Brother Lao will go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang again, and recruit some young and reliable congregations according to our standards. By the way, you can recruit more in Yiwu, most of Qi Shaobao's elite soldiers were recruited from Yiwu. In the future, we will also train an elite comparable to the Qi family's army! Culture can be supplemented at a later stage. Character is innate, since history has proved that Yiwu produces elite soldiers, it would be a pity not to use it.

"We also have heroes in Guangdong!"

"I can also go to Hubei to recruit some!"

“”

Everyone's passion was quickly mobilized, and they put forward their own suggestions, Huo Qingtong quickly recorded on the white paper with a brush in his hand, although everyone did not say it explicitly, but this group of people is estimated to be led by her. After two hours of noisy discussions, the task of recruiting soldiers was finally arranged.

"What's your surname, what's your name, how old is this year, and where is your home?" There were two tables in the open space at the entrance of the county ya, and there was a long queue in front of the table, Chen Jialuo and Lu Feiqing sat behind the desks respectively, asking a series of questions to the young people who came from seven miles and eight towns.

"The little one is called Yang Yang Dazhu, he is sixteen years old this year, and he is from Tangdi Village!" , a dark-skinned, sturdy young man stammered.

Chen Jialuo looked at it, his age, height, health and temperament basically met the recruitment standards, nodded and said, "Okay, put a handprint on this piece of paper, and then take it and run a few laps in the back, lifting the stone lock." ”

Yang Dazhu walked to the back with the form that passed the preliminary examination on behalf of the representative, and there were already dust-free Dao Chiefs, Huo Qingtong and others greeting them. Chen Jialuo stretched his waist, looked back at the plaque on the gate of the county ya, and said with a smile in his heart, from ancient times to the present, except for those children of the family at the end of the Sui Dynasty, I am afraid that only himself is the only one who recruits troops at the gate of the county government to prepare for rebellion, right?

It's a pity that the people of our "prosperous Kangqian era" are still living a little hard, most of the people who came to recruit were malnourished, and Chen Jialuo had no choice but to lower the enrollment standards, and added another process, let Lu Feiqing, who had studied medicine, come to check on them, and if they could be saved by supplementing nutrition for a few months, they would be temporarily admitted first.

"Official, the youngest one is really only twenty-three years old! The little ones will never dare to deceive the adults! A man who looked almost forty on the outside bent his back and cried, "Official, just accept the small one!" Just give the little one a bite to eat, and you can let the little one do whatever you want! ”

Looking at his skinny appearance, I don't know how many days he has been hungry, the sympathy in Chen Jialuo's heart slowly floated and gradually dissipated, there are so many people like him in the team, if he agrees, will the others accept it or not? He sighed and reassured, "If you want to eat, I have a place to go, in a few days, the county magistrate will recruit people to build the embankment, although the silver given is not as much as that of the village warrior, but it is no problem to eat a few full meals!" ”

finally coaxed him away, Chen Jialuo began to interview the next person again, and it was not until the night that he accepted less than 100 people, and the elimination rate was comparable to the civil service examination in later generations; It can be seen from this that the physical health of the people of the Qing Dynasty has reached a very harsh situation.
