The first one to come up was the veteran who asked if he could snatch it with his hands, and the veteran had fine sweat on his forehead, but his face was not red or panting, indicating that his physical strength could fully keep up.

The veteran threw the cloud mushrooms in his hand on the ground, there were as many as thirty, Meng Qi was about to praise them, and suddenly saw a few cloud mushrooms stained with blood, and he looked at the veteran's hand again, and also saw blood.

Meng Qi asked curiously, "What's going on?" Picking this cloud mushroom and getting hurt? ”

The veteran reached out to the hem of his clothes, rubbed it casually a few times, and said expressionlessly: "It's not that I'm injured, it's that I encountered resistance when I snatched the cloud mushroom, so I easily solved a few people." ”

When the words fell, Meng Qi and the others all had strange faces, and after Guo Da reacted, he asked eagerly, "What happened to you?" ”

"Not dead, but I need to lie down and rest for a while." The veteran said lightly.

"Good!" Zhang Dagen, who was next to him, stroked his palms and laughed, Guo Da's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he glared at the veteran fiercely, but the veteran Quan should not be able to see it.

Immediately afterwards, a few more people came up, all of whom were selected by Zhang Dagen, Guo Da's face was even more ugly, and he was looking forward to seeing his own people.

One soldier after another climbed the mountain, but there was no one from Guo Da's team, and Guo Da was not in the mood to check the number of cloud mushrooms picked by the people who went up the mountain, and he kept looking at the mountain road that came up.

Finally, the eighth person to go up the mountain was Guo Da's chosen person, Guo Da stepped forward and patted the young soldier on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Not bad." ”

The young soldier smiled bitterly: "The other party's strength is indeed very strong. ”

"That's nature." Zhang Dagen laughed.

After a while, the next few people were Zhang Dagen's subordinates, and they waited for twenty minutes before they saw the rest of Guo Da's team come up, and they supported each other, all of them were injured, ranging in severity.

"Haha, the results are out!" Zhang Dagen said with a smile.

Guo Da shook his head helplessly and did not speak.

"Very good, then follow the order of going up the mountain, and the top thirteen will be selected." Meng Qi said.

"Thirteen? Why? Guo Da and Zhang Dagen were stunned.

"The second to thirteenth place were selected as 12 special forces, and this first place was used as my bodyguard." Meng Qi said, looking at the veteran with three scars on his face.

Zhang Dagen called the veterans in the crowd over and said, "Second brother, you can stay by Your Majesty's side in the future and protect Your Majesty's safety." ”

The veteran glanced at Meng Qi, nodded, and did not speak.

Meng Qi heard Zhang Dagen call this veteran second brother, and said with some curiosity: "He is your second brother?" ”

Zhang Dagen explained: "I and he are sworn brothers, originally the ninth brothers, and now there are only me and him left, I am the eighth, and he is the second." ”

Meng Qi listened and nodded.

"The second brother's strength is far above me, and the previous position of general originally belonged to the second brother, but the second brother resigned." Zhang Dagen continued.

"Oh? Why? Meng Qi looked at the veteran.

The veteran said: "If you have courage and no strategy, you can't be a general, and it's most suitable to be a soldier who kills the enemy." ”

Meng Qi was amazed when he heard this, and admired this veteran even more.

"Okay, from now on, you will follow me, and you don't need your advice, you will be responsible for solving all the factors that threaten me, and you will be called 'Zoro' from now on."

"Yes." The veteran took the order.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for getting a fierce general." Next to Guo Dadao.

Meng Qi also nodded with satisfaction, with this Zoro next to him, it would be much safer in the future.

He looked at the twelve people who had been elected, eleven of the twelve were elected by Zhang Dagen, and only one was elected by Guo Da.

"In the future, you will be named according to the twelve earthly branches, which are 'Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai', and they will be arranged in the order in which you are standing now." Meng Qi ordered.

Zhang Dagen couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, do you have to adjust this order again, the people in front of this line..."

Before Zhang Dagen finished speaking, Meng Qi interrupted: "The twelve people here are not high-level and low-level, they have the same status, and they all obey my leadership. ”

"Yes!" The twelve shouted in unison.

"Zhang Dagen, the training of these twelve people will be handed over to you, the training method is different from that of ordinary soldiers, I will hand over the specific plan to you tonight, and the training will be done in strict accordance with my arrangement in the future, in addition, if you have any other good suggestions, you can put them forward with me again." Meng Qi looked at Zhang Dagen again.

Zhang Dagen nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

These twelve people, Meng Qi intends to train into the elite of individual combat, equipped with AK47 submachine guns, can exist with one enemy and one hundred, so the training method naturally cannot be the same as the soldiers who are now playing swords and swords in the training field.

Meng Qi recalled that he had watched the training of soldiers in the Earth TV series before, and he was going to follow the training method above.

After appointing 12 people, Meng Qi returned to his residence and had breakfast, which happened to be the time of the morning court.

Today's early dynasty has something to do, that is, to reward those who have made meritorious contributions in previous battles, including Qin Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who is responsible for building fortifications, digging pits and ditches, Guo Da, the secretary of the military department, who is responsible for cutting down trees and making arrows, and Zhang Dagen, a general who has set out to make black powder and glycerin bombs.

In the court, Meng Qi announced that Qin Zhi and Guo Daguan were promoted to one level, and their original positions did not change, that is to say, although Qin Zhi and Guo Da are still Shangshu and the matters they are responsible for are still the same as before, their official ranks have been upgraded from level four to level three, and they have different salaries and different treatments.

As for the general Zhang Dagen, considering that Xiangguo Liu Neng said that Zhang Dagen was an absolutely trustworthy person, Meng Qi made an exception to promote him to Dazhuguo.

"The post of general is vacant, go down and tell the sergeants that in the upcoming war, whoever has made the most meritorious service will be directly promoted to the rank of general." Meng Qi ordered.

"Yes!" Zhang Dagen of the Great Pillar Kingdom received the order.

Through this move, it can greatly stimulate the passion of the sergeants' training, and at the same time stimulate their bloody fighting spirit, Meng Qi knows that Pingtian Country has not experienced war for many years, and these soldiers are deserted, so they must be given a dose of strengthening.

"In addition, among the sergeants, I selected a soldier with outstanding combat talent as my bodyguard, and gave him the name 'Sauron', and the official 'Imperial Guard with a Sword', the official residence is second-class." Meng Qi said, officially introducing the scar-faced veteran beside him to everyone.

Hearing that a small soldier was directly promoted to a second-rank officer, everyone muttered quietly, they felt that Meng Qi had taken it for granted, and everyone was a little unconvinced.

Sauron stepped forward with his sword and looked around at everyone, the cold eyes that can only be cast by the evil qi of a thousand people immediately quieted everyone, and when they came into contact with Sauron's eyes, they inexplicably felt a chill behind them, and it seemed that the temperature of the entire hall had dropped.

At this time, how dare the people raise objections, they don't even dare to meet the terrible eyes of Sauron.

"Okay, let's retreat if there's nothing to do." Meng Qi stood up and prepared to go back to the dormitory.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have something to do." A middle-aged male official stepped forward.
