Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Every year, thousands of students from various states and states enter the school, and thousands of students will leave the school to start a new life.

In the past two days, Taiyuan Mansion School was disturbed by a recruitment notice, which is the Northwest Army Hedong Army Recruitment Examination Ten staff members to join the army, the salary is good, and students who are interested in serving the country are welcome to apply for the examination, this news is actually spread throughout Taiyuan Mansion School only an hour after the notice was posted, and in the past two days, the news has spread to the public.

On the morning of the third day, in the Fuxue Seeking Knowledge Building, thousands of scholars crowded the inside and outside of the lobby of the Seeking Knowledge Building, and the Hedong Commander of the Northwest Army, Chongshi Dao, personally gave a lecture on the situation in the north to the scholars, and at the same time answered all kinds of doubts about recruiting staff to join the army.

Although the seed master Dao is nearly seventy years old, his face is ruddy, his voice is loud, and he is an old and strong general.

"Since the Jurchen East Route Army occupied Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo three years ago, the West Route Army began to besiege Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing last year, and the battle between the two sides was extremely tragic, but the Liao State Xijing Datong Mansion still stationed 50,000 troops, obviously to prevent the Song army from going north to Yunzhou, but for the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, the real threat is the Western Xia and not the Liao State, as we all know, the Liao State and the Western Xia have always been horns of each other, when the Song Xia battle is unfavorable to the Western Xia, Liaodong will besiege Wei in the east to save Zhao, provoke trouble, make the Song army difficult to take care of, had to withdraw the army, Liao strongly supported the Western Xia, It was hoped that the Western Xia would contain the Song army in the west, and at the same time make it difficult for the Song army to obtain a place to raise horses in the northwest, and it would be impossible to establish a strong cavalry to confront the Liao army, which was also the consistent national policy of the Liao State......"

Li Yanqing sat in the first row, he accompanied the seed master to give a lecture to the bachelors of Taiyuan Mansion, and at the same time he also had to prepare for recruiting staff to join the army.

The speech of the Seed Master Dao won a warm applause, and the following is a Q&A session, in which the Seed Master Dao answers various questions that the scholars are concerned about, and most of the questions are focused on this recruitment.

A soldier stood up and asked in a loud voice: "May I ask the commander, what are the staff members doing in the army?" ”

The seed master said with a slight smile: "The recruited soldiers this time are mainly engaged in working in the staff account, what is a staff officer?" It is the meaning of the staff military, collecting intelligence for the commander, analyzing intelligence, and cracking down on the Xixia meticulously, and the commander's various operational decisions are not made out of thin air, but need a lot of intelligence support, to put it bluntly, the staff account is the intelligence department of the Hedong Military Department of the Northwest Army. ”

There was an uproar in the lobby, it turned out that the intelligence department was established, and someone asked: "What kind of official position is this staff member engaged in?" ”

"This is just a mission, there is no official position for the time being, once the war is over, it is likely to be disbanded, I say this to every staff member, in fact, in the past 30 years, many of the staff who have followed me have become officials, some have become county commanders, and some have even made it to Zhizhou, why I have been called from a small kind of Jingluo to an old kind of Jingluo, it is because I have a deep network in Hedong Road and Shaanxi, you have just come in, you have not enough experience and qualifications, you can only start from engagement, two or three years later, some of you have performed well, and you will be promoted to join the army, This belongs to the senior clerk, in a few years, maybe you can be promoted to the chief to join the army, and if you are promoted to this level, you will generally get the title of a loose official from the ninth grade, which means that you will officially enter the office, I can't guarantee that everyone can get to this point, but a large number of my staff are going out step by step like this. ”

The words of the seed master made the scholars under the hall excited, everyone whispered, and the seed master said loudly: "I am also a Jinshi, with a civil official palm seal, I am very clear about the current official market situation, the Jinshi in the examination at the beginning of this year, so far, there are nearly half of the people waiting for the award, and the students have stopped giving officials since two years ago, and can only go to the state school to teach, there are still a large number of door shade officials in the queue, there are more monks and less porridge, the competition is very fierce, and the military civilian officials are a shortcut to enter the office, Now the imperial court attaches great importance to civil officials who have actual war experience, and civil officials who have participated in the war have a chance of promotion even greater than that of Jinshi, and war is not always there, if you seize this opportunity, you will write a very bright stroke on your resume, and the Privy Council and the Ministry of Officials will give priority in the future. ”

"How's the treatment?" Someone asked in a loud voice.

Seed Master Dao smiled slightly: "During the war, the army's salary is very rich, including civilian officers, you can basically get the income from the nine rank officials after three months, the basic monthly salary is ten taels of silver per month, and other kinds of materials, subsidies, and food, there are about ten taels of silver per month, which adds up to twenty taels of silver, and I have already negotiated with you to keep your school status, and you can come back to continue studying after the war." ”

The buzz below is getting louder and louder, and it can be seen that many people are tempted, and their eyes are full of longing, generous treatment, bright future, and challenging work, so that these young people can't help but be excited in their hearts, but many people ignore the important point, not everyone can get such a good opportunity, only ten people are admitted, which is much more difficult than the liberation test.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Seed Master Dao stood up and said to everyone: "If you are interested in serving the country, you can sign up after the lecture, the registration location is in the school, and the exam will take place in three days, you don't need to make any preparation, just test your ability." ”

.........

After the speech, there was a queue of 100 zhang in front of the knowledge building, more than 2,000 scholars signed up for the exam, and there were even young teaching assistants in the team, they were not willing to spend their youth in the school, they all hoped to have a doctorate, and they could become officials in the future.

Dozens of soldiers maintained order, Li Yanqing took three officials to accept the registration of the soldiers, the registration is very simple and fast, in fact, it is to receive a registration form first, and after filling it in, hand it in to get a floating ticket, that is, the admission ticket.

Li Yanqing and his entourage were busy until dusk, and then returned to the barracks tiredly.

As soon as he returned to the big tent, Yang Liang ran forward and said, "Qiqi Li joined the army, and the leader of the team from the famous Oolong Village came to you, saying that he was your fellow villager. ”

Li Yanqing immediately reacted, this is Wang Gui coming, he walked into the big tent quickly, and saw two people sitting in the big tent, one is Wang Gui, and the other is Niu Gao, who has not been seen for a long time.

"The old cow is here too!"

Li Yanqing laughed and stepped forward, Niu Gao jumped up, hugged Li Yanqing tightly, and immediately couldn't help complaining to him: "I just found out that you were almost killed by the Xixia people two months ago, and I was forty miles away, why didn't you send someone to inform me?" ”

"At that time, the situation was critical, and I really couldn't distinguish people, and the matter has passed, so don't worry about it anymore."

"Can I not be obsessed? I'm still an officer, but Agui has been promoted to the head of the team, and I haven't got this kind of meritorious opportunity? ”

Wang Gui grinned, "Lao Li, this kind of person is very annoying!" ”

Li Yanqing also ignored Niu Gao and said with a smile: "Have you two eaten?" ”

"No! Why don't we go outside for a drink? Wang Gui proposed with great interest.

Li Yanqing shook his head, "Unless you don't come back tonight, you will definitely be whipped when you come back full of alcohol." ”

Li Yanqing walked to the big tent and said to Yang Liang: "Go to the Huotou tent to prepare three meals, and ask for the best and best dishes, which will be recorded in my account." ”

Yang Liang rushed away, and Wang Gui asked strangely, "Does it cost money to eat in the army?" ”

"It depends on what you want to eat, generally soldiers don't have to spend money, but there is no choice, except for civil officials, civil officials can choose the best quality dishes, but they have to make up the difference, but they are not expensive, a best meal is up to fifty yuan, and there is also a substitute for wine."

"What is a wine substitute?" Wang Gui was even more strange.

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "Wine substitute is a drink, and today should be iced sour plum soup." ”

Niu Gao smacked his lips and scolded: "The weather here is more ruthless than Bianjing on dog days, you can bake people during the day, but you have to cover them with blankets at night, and every day at noon, I hope to drink some ice water and sour plum soup and the like." ”

"Isn't there water from a deep well?"

Niu Gao shook his head, "The conditions of Shenquan Village are far worse than those of Wulong Village, there is nothing, not to mention that there is not a single hair in the woman." ”

At this time, Wang Gui said on the side: "Lao Li, don't listen to his nonsense, let's get down to business!" What are you doing by calling us martial arts scholars to Taiyuan? ”

Niu Gao also stopped saying a word, and looked at Li Yanqing with a serious face.

Li Yanqing pondered and said: "The marshal wants to set up a staff account, that is, the intelligence department, and needs a group of staff to join the army and engage, and we plan to recruit from Taiyuan Mansion School, and today I went to Taiyuan Mansion to study, and the staff members plan to select a few people from your martial arts students, of course, it is not forced, it depends on your own wishes." ”

"Let's be civil servants?" Wang Gui asked.

"Not yet!"

Li Yanqing shook the tone of encouragement and said to the two: "Do the civil affairs first, although your identity is still a military attache for the time being, as long as you can pass the martial arts provincial examination, you can be qualified to directly serve as the chief officer and join the army, that is the civilian line, I think this is also an opportunity for you." ”

Wang Gui and Niu Gao glanced at each other and said in unison: "We won't do it!" ”
