Chapter 25: Contradictions in the Country
Thank you for the book friend Qing Xuansanren for rewarding again!
Yang Tongue Rong said: "Yu Xiao Jun, this one or two are not less than the members, there are only twenty people, half of them are the children of the countrymen, half of them are wild people, all of them have just served for a short time, and they have only been trained once during the winter hunting a few days ago. ”
The countrymen were high-ranking citizens, who had the right to discuss politics, and also had the obligation to pay military contributions and serve in the military, and many of them had private land in their homes, and most of them lived within the city walls. The savages were low-class commoners, mostly living in the periphery of cities and towns, without citizenship, and most of them were serfs, domestic farmers, and children of commoners, and were bound producers.
That is, two different classes.
Zhao Wuxian looked at it, and among the Zhao soldiers in front of him, some of the faces were still immature, and they were not veterans who had experienced a hundred battles at all. However, being young has the advantage of being young, although it is inexperienced, it does not have soldiers, and it is also convenient for Zhao Wuxian to build it into a new force of his own.
Zhao Wuxian nodded and said, "If you add the five people I brought, just make up for it, and you can choose one of them?" ”
"Never."
"Okay, then let's settle this matter today! Musha, you take the second and third sons of the stable into the ranks. ”
After careful consideration, Zhao Wuxian still felt that the tall, loyal and steady big man Mucha was more suitable to be a foot soldier, so he just inserted him into these two middles.
Then, Zhao Wuxian showed the tiger talisman, representing the official takeover of the command, he took a few steps forward and said loudly to the young Zhao soldiers: "Yu is Zhao Wuxian, the son of the sect master, your new master!" ”
The Zhao soldiers stood even more upright, looking at this majestic little gentleman who had been returned from the auspicious white deer during the winter hunt a few days ago, and his eyes were full of light.
"Now that you have been assigned to my command, after you arrive in Chengyi, you will officially start training, but before that, you have to do one more thing." Zhao Wuxian paused. "That is, to elect five captains from among you."
"Has anyone come forward to recommend themselves, or to others?"
There was a sudden whisper among the young Zhao soldiers, but there was no scramble, the children of the countrymen were watching, and the savages did not dare to come forward before the people.
"No one? Then I'll designate one person first, Musha, out of the ranks! ”
"Yui!" Mucha had already received Zhao Wuxian's orders in advance, and he responded loudly, with a thunderous sound, and strode out.
I saw that Mucha was seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was burly, with strong arms, a black scarf wrapped around his head, and a bronze short sword hanging from his waist.
At this time, a young man with a green nose in the army couldn't bear it anymore, and he shouted in a rough voice: "Little gentleman, isn't this a lowly shepherd boy grazing cattle in the stable, I know him, how can he be the captain!" ”
Hearing this, the sound rang out again, and it was only after the two Sima Yang's tongues stopped drinking that they fell silent.
Yang Yurong was also a little hesitant, although he was prepared, but he didn't expect Zhao Wuxian to install his own people so soon, and this was no longer in line with military law, he whispered and explained: "Little gentleman, military law stipulates that the military commanders are all served by Chinese people, and this son's current identity seems to be just a wild citizen?" I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public. ”
After all, after hundreds of years of development, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, serving in the military was originally only a privilege of the countrymen, and it was a noble and glorious thing. However, as the gap between the country and the field gradually became less obvious, and the scale of the war became larger and larger, it was impossible to form a huge three armies by relying only on the soldiers and the countrymen.
So the Jin State lowered the identity requirements for the military positions he held, for example, Yang Tongue Rong was only a corporal, but he served as two Simas, but the commander of the Wu did have to be a countryman.
Of course, Zhao Wuxian didn't quite agree with this rule, his two cronies Yu Xi and Mu Xia were now wild people, could it be that they had to start as ordinary apprentices? With the efficiency of class promotion in the Spring and Autumn Period, it would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to be used by him?
However, he has his own clever plan to make the sheep tongue bow his head: "Liang Sima, I see that you are mighty and majestic, and you advance and retreat to salute, presumably the matter of pressing the sword on the chariot must be done, and there is still a lack of a chariot right on my chariot, so you will be in charge!" ”
"The right side of the car?"
Yang Yurong was taken aback when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, as a mere corporal, it was a great honor to be able to board the car and become the right of the gentleman's car. You must know that the three people in a chariot, between Yu Rong, Che You and the Lord, are no longer just simple masters and servants, but can cooperate with the chariot and hand over their backs to each other, adding layers of close comrade-in-arms. This is also the position that is the easiest to promote and make meritorious contributions, and it is much stronger than a simple army commander and two Simas.
Poetry: Cast it with papaya, repay it with Qiong Yao. Since the little gentleman intends to be promoted, it will be too dull if he doesn't know how to repay the reward.
Anyway, before he came, his boss, Sima of the Zhao family, also instructed that within a year, with the four gentlemen, the lord would not ask. As for the law of being Lu, as for the stereotypes in the Zhou rites, did the Jin State talk about the Zhou rites when it annexed more than a dozen princes with the same surname in the early years? When Liuqing destroyed the sheep tongue clan who didn't make any big mistakes, did he talk about "Zhao Xuanzi's Law"?
Compared to being able to board the bus and become a gentleman's cronies and get the opportunity to revive the Sheep Tongue Clan, those are nothing.
It's also a shame that this is the Spring and Autumn Era of "Etiquette and Music Collapse", and people who have discipline and follow the rules like Wang Sun Period are a few after all.
"Thank you for your love, and you don't dare to ask for it. As for this captain, he naturally has to follow the new rules set by the gentleman......"
After quickly capturing Yangyu Rong with sugar-coated shells, Zhao Wuxian once again faced Zhao soldiers and said, "I heard that you have just been drafted and have only participated in winter hunting training once. But I want to tell you, this gentleman only played for the first time during the winter hunt, but now, I have become the slaughter of a city, why? For I am the son of the Lord? No, it's more because I have the talent, I have made meritorious contributions to the Zhao family, and if I have merit, I will wear it! ”
Fighting the giant bear unscathed, and being returned by Bailu in style, this is enough to show Zhao Wuxian's ability and merits, and Zhao Bing naturally did not dare to question it.
He pointed to Mucha again and said: "This son is also talented, he is capable of fighting cattle, he is loyal, and he also accompanied me during the winter hunt, and made a meritorious service." Therefore, today I select Wu Chang, regardless of whether you are savages or Chinese people, whether you used to be farmers who ploughed the acres of Longmu, or children who raised horses and cattle. It's a meritocracy! If someone is not convinced, you can stand up and challenge Mu Xia, and if you win, you can also be the captain! ”
Hearing Zhao Wuxian's praise, Musha's chest rose and fell, and his heart was very excited, although he was not a scholar, he couldn't help but have the idea of dying for the Lord. The half of the savage disciples in Zhao Bing also let go of their worries after hearing this, and were eager to try.
And the children of the Chinese people, who have always had a higher status, disagreed, especially the evil boy who shouted Musha's identity just now.
He touched the short sword on his waist, raised his head and jumped out: "Little gentleman, meritocracy, what you said makes sense, but I still don't accept it, Wuna shepherd boy, do you dare to compete with Naigong!" ”
He kept his mouth shut and claimed to be a public, which was very rude and provocative.
But the calm Mucha was not excited, but looked at Wuxian.
Wuxian said: "Of course, what is your name?" ”
"Tian Ben." The evil young man with a slumped nose had a sparkle in his eyes: "If I win, the gentleman will speak and count, let me be the captain!" ”
"However, the gentleman said that the horse is difficult to chase. If you win, that's your Tian Ben's ability, everyone is watching, who dares to deny it? ”
Wuxian said again, "However, Jian Ge has no eyes, you two don't have to compete with weapons, just try to fight the corner, remember, the point is up!" ”
The two agreed, the honest Mucha didn't care about Tian Ben's provocation just now, and saluted him slightly, while Tian Ben grinned and squinted at him, not hiding his disdain at all.
Among these two Zhao soldiers, in terms of courage and strength, Tian Ben asked himself second, and no one dared to call him first. Although he was also surprised by Musha's height and physical strength, he didn't take it to heart and didn't think he could beat him. I just want to kill this guy by dividing it by two, so that the little gentleman of the Zhao family knows what he is capable of!
Ask for recommendations, ask for collections, although it is on the list of new books, but it is only 12th, and it is easy to be exploded......
