As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was one, and as soon as Guo Sheng made a move, Luo Yun felt that this painting halberd was like a strange python, and immediately shook his spirit and fought with Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng's martial arts are really good, painting halberds and tigers, more than 30 rounds have passed in a flash, Guo Sheng's forehead is sweating, I didn't expect Luo Yun's marksmanship to be so exquisite, and I am afraid that he will not be able to take advantage of it if he fights again.

Next to him, Zhu Wu nodded frequently, Guo Sheng's painting halberd is indeed good, if you have an experience in the army, exercise your physical strength and will, you may not be able to enter the ranks of first-class masters, Luo Yun would have been defeated if it wasn't for the recent practice.

The two fought again, and they both saw the sweat, Chao Gai was afraid of a mistake, and shouted: "This game is considered a peace, rest for the time being." ”

Luo Yun put away the gun and retreated, Guo Sheng was wheezing there with a halberd, Chao Gai came over and patted Guo Sheng's shoulder, and said: "The halberd technique is exquisite, and the moves are not to be said, but you can't win against Lu Fang." ”

As soon as Guo Sheng heard Chao Gai say that he couldn't win against Lu Fang, he asked, "Why can't you win against Lu Fang?" ”

Chao Gai said: "Since Lu Fang joined the group training, he has trained a lot more physically every day, and his will has become stronger, and he has many opportunities for actual combat. ”

Guo Sheng nodded frequently after hearing this: "That's the truth, I'm an ordinary person, walking around with a painting halberd to commit taboos, where do I dare to kill people and play at will." If Chao Tuan Lian doesn't dislike it, then I'll come to your team to be a soldier. ”

Chao Gai and Zhu Wu were overjoyed: "I am very happy to have Brother Guo join, Jiao Ting, and give Brother Guo a settlement fee." ”

Jiao Ting took out a certain fifty taels of silver from his arms, gave it to Guo Sheng, and said, "This is fifty taels of silver for settling in, and there are also armor, short knives, and waist knives that will be given to you when they arrive in the barracks." ”

Guo Sheng actually doesn't have a few big sons anymore, most of the people who practice martial arts don't know how to operate, don't know how to make money, and are shy in their pockets, but they all have a good face.

Guo Sheng shirked and said: "I'm a newcomer, I haven't made an inch, I just have something to eat, how can I take this silver." ”

"Brother Guo Sheng, listen to me, first, this silver is the rule in the team, the new brothers with martial arts are each fifty taels of silver, and the ordinary soldiers are seven taels of silver. Second, this money is not for you to spend yourself, but for your parents and relatives at home, so that the elderly can improve their lives. Zhu Wu said.

Guo Sheng's eyes were red after hearing this, and tears were left, Zhu Wu is second monk was puzzled, what was the situation, when did his eloquence become so good.

Guo Shengdao: "No wonder many heroes on the rivers and lakes have come to Yuncheng for group training, it is too considerate for everyone." I've been out for three years, and I've never been back, and I don't know what happened to my father and mother at home. ”

Zhu Wudao: "Where is Brother Guo's hometown?" ”

"A native of Handan County under the jurisdiction of the Daimyo Mansion." Guo Sheng said.

Chao Gai said beside him: "Our group training also has business in the daimyo, and many people in the daimyo's mansion are training as soldiers in our group, and there is a special messenger responsible for delivering letters, if the Guo Sheng brothers have the heart, they can repair a book, and let the messenger send your letters and things home." Or just go back and have a look, it's all right. ”

Guo Sheng wiped his tears and said, "If you don't go back, I'll write a letter to someone to bring back to my hometown, and by the way, I will also bring back the fifty taels of silver." When I came out, I told my dad that I wouldn't go back if I didn't mix it up. ”

Immediately, Guo Sheng wrote a letter, and by the way, he wrapped fifty taels of silver and sent it back to his father and mother to his hometown in Handan, without mentioning these trivial things. Alone said that Chao Gai was promoted to Jeju group training, and he was very happy to get Guo Sheng's defection, and after waiting for a day, the next day the Jeju prefect sent someone to send an official uniform and a letter, and Chao Gai was officially Jeju group training.

It turned out that there were more than 600 soldiers trained in Jeju City by the Jeju regiment, all of whom were soldiers led by Huang Fu. Chao Gai only arranged for the soldiers to rest in the camp, and he was not in a hurry to clean them up, and what he had to do now was to recruit soldiers.

Back in Yuncheng, Chao Gai immediately asked people to pass the book to Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng, and asked them to return quickly. At the same time, Liu Tang, Wen Zhongrong, and Yuye were arranged to start recruiting new soldiers. As soon as I heard that it was a regimental training to recruit new soldiers, the whole of Jeju was boiling. The settling-in fee is only seven times, which is enough to buy a ploughing cow. Although the military salary of 200 wen per month is not very high, this is only basic, once the training is good, or can become a petty officer or the like, it is trivial to get a few hundred yuan a year, not to mention that the soldiers trained by the Yuncheng regiment eat well, and they can eat rice, white flour steamed buns, fish, and meat every day, and they can eat as much as they want. Most of the ordinary people don't know what to do to protect the family and defend the country, what to serve the country, and so on, they know a simple truth, eat food and become a soldier, and whoever gives good food and good treatment will listen to whomever they want.

Recruit 3,000 people, the number sounds like a lot, but it is very easy to recruit, first of all, there are many large number of refugees in Yuncheng, there are not a few young and strong, most of these people are doing small jobs in factories, iron mines, etc., so as soon as they heard about recruiting soldiers, they immediately signed up.

At the registration point in Yuncheng, a squad leader is carefully selecting a strong man, and a big man comes over, first asking the soldiers to measure their height, of course, the height requirements are not too strict, just more than one meter six or five, and then look at the arms and legs, whether there are any external injuries or the like. After measuring these, Dahan stood in front of the squad leader: "What's your name?" ”

"Wang Damao."

"Do you know how to read?"

"I can't even write names."

"Who else are there in the family, how many brothers?"

"My parents are alive, two older brothers, a younger brother, and a younger sister." Wang Damao said.

"Okay, you passed, go to the yard to get two steamed buns, and prepare for the test."

Wang Damao took two white-flour steamed buns and happily went to the yard.

There was a weakness in the back, but it was okay, but when I asked, no, the only son in the family.

The man was not happy and said, "You don't care if I'm an only child or not." ”

The squad leader explained: "Do you know what you do when you are a soldier and eat food? ”

"Who doesn't know about the war."

"That's right, war, war will kill people, you are the only child in the family, once your parents lose you, what will you do in the future? And you will also have many worries, you can't fight with your heart, so it's better not to be a soldier. ”

When this man thought about it, he was right, it was this truth, and he immediately retreated.

This recruitment is as strict as before, between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, healthy, no disabilities, the requirements are non-only children, of course, educated, those with specialties will be appropriately relaxed, for example, you can shoot arrows, and if the arrows are very accurate, then Pang Wanchun will come to take a look and see if it can be created, if it is okay, then it will be admitted directly. On the morning of the first day, 1,000 people signed up, and 300 people passed the tests of long-distance running, weightlifting, etc. The elimination rate is still very high.

In just four days, 1,500 people were recruited, and the registration points were crowded, with more than 15,000 applicants, many of whom are still waiting for the test.

Liu Tang was busy for a day, and when he returned to the barracks, although an officer of Liu Tang's level was not assigned a separate courtyard, he also had a separate room, although the area was small, but there were living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens.

After a busy day, Liu Tang poured a cup of strong tea when he returned home, took two sips leisurely, and then planned to rest early, and he would be busy recruiting troops tomorrow.

"Dang, dangdang." There was a knock on the door, and Liu Tang said, "Who, the door is not closed." ”

The door creaked, opened, and Chao Gai entered.

Liu Tang said: "My brother is here, hurry up and sit down." ”

Usually Liu Tang goes to Chao Gai, but I didn't expect Chao Gai to come to Liu Tang today.

Liu Tang said and went to pour water for Chao Gai and serve tea.

Chao Gai said: "Your tea-making skills have improved, and the tea tastes good." ”

"It's not all forced by my brother's alcohol ban, so drink more tea when you're fine." Liu Tang said.

Chao Gai said: "I came here today to tell you something, see what you mean." ”

Liu Tang said with a smile: "Brother has something to say, no matter what it is, Liu Tang will definitely implement it seriously." ”

"You also know about the development of two islands, one New Jeju Island and the other Black Dragon Island. Jeju Island is also small in size, and now it is a small granary for us, mainly producing rice. I plan to arrange for Yuan Lang to be stationed on New Jeju Island, and the other generals will be transferred back. Heilong Island is not, the area is very huge, at least half the size of Shandong, thousands of miles away, there are more than 100,000 people of various tribes in the local area, it was originally a subsidiary of the Liao State, and at least 40,000 people can be immigrated in the spring of next year. Chao Gai said.

Liu Tang said: "I know this, my brother means to let me go to Black Dragon Island?" Didn't Brother Lu Fang stay there? ”

Chao Gai shook his head: "Although Lu Fang's martial arts have improved, he can't control the scene, if he wants to completely control Black Dragon Island, he has to rely on more than two means of fighting and pulling, and it is difficult to rely on one Lu Fang alone." I'm going to transfer you there, but your cavalry is going to be completely reorganized and become an artillery battalion. However, it is hidden from the outside and is called a baggage camp. ”

Liu Tang is very clear about the power of artillery, that thing is too powerful, but the rate of fire is a little slow, and many things are devastating under the attack of artillery.

"Okay, follow my brother's orders."

"Don't be in a hurry after you listen to me first, you have to prepare at least 3,000 cavalry, 1,000 artillery, and 6,000 infantry when you arrive on Black Dragon Island. Steadily manage the tribes of Black Dragon Island. In the future, when Jeju needs to use troops, I will transfer you back, and I can give the opponent a big surprise at that time. Chao Gai said.

Liu Tang bowed and said: "If my brother trusts Liu Tang so much and dies without regrets, I will definitely live up to my brother's mission." It's just that Liu Tang is stupid, and I still need my brother to send me a few more assistants. ”

"Taking too many people away is easy to make people suspicious, I will give you the new Guo Sheng. In this way, you will have Wen Zhongrong, Cui Ye, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng. Four lieutenants. You can arrange positions according to their strengths. Chao Gai said.
