It doesn't matter who it means to let the Jingsui camp be expanded. Anyway, the imperial court was in charge of food, salary, and equipment, and Xu Wei convened the officers of his department to study the plan on the same day, and decided to select soldiers from the Lianghe Righteous Army in the same way as he recruited Wang Shan's thief department. The soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, and he and Zhang Hongchengfang, the two former Western Armymen, have repeatedly considered and set harsh conditions for enlistment. First of all, the ingredients should be simple, and the chaotic people should not want to enter the Jingsui camp. The second is height, strength, and health.

Just as he was elaborating the conditions for recruitment, He Guan sent someone to report that Yao Pingzhong had also received the news and was preparing to recruit the Lianghe Righteous Army into the forbidden army before the Jingsui camp. In the Great Song Dynasty, there was a practice of recruiting people to serve as soldiers in disaster years or when the situation was not very peaceful. As long as there is enough to eat, who wants to be a homeless thief? After Xu Wei heard the news, he immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the recruitment to begin.

The vast majority of the Lianghe rebels were ordinary people displaced by the Jin army's southern invasion. Although he joined King Qin's team and came to Tokyo, the imperial court didn't care about anything, and even eating was a problem. If it weren't for Xu Wei's reaction to the situation above, I am afraid that these people would have dispersed as birds and beasts. Therefore, as soon as the conscription notice of the Jingsui camp went out, the rebels responded en masse. The slogan of "being a soldier and eating pay, killing the enemy to serve the country". Resounding throughout the suburbs of Tokyo.

Yao Pingzhong is really a qualified-stirring stick, as soon as Xu Wei made his move, he immediately issued a notice in the name of the Jinghe Envoy to recruit warriors loyal to the country into the forbidden army, in an attempt to disrupt Xu Wei's conscription plan.

In the eastern suburbs of the capital, the scribes of Jingsui Camp had already rounded the field, and in front of a row of long tables, there was a crowd of people. Countless rebels flocked to the city. The scribes were first visually examined, and those who were too old and too young, and who were too tall and too short were all eliminated. Those who pass the preliminary examination will draw a hook on their face with a brush to prevent someone from cheating and exploiting loopholes. But there is a premise, anyone who thinks that he has special skills, whether you are a stonemason, a carpenter, or a Langzhong who runs the rivers and lakes, the cook with a big spoon, if he is brushed down in the first round, he can appeal in person. After receiving confirmation from the Jingsui battalion, they can also enlist in the army. But if you don't have that kind of ability and brag indiscriminately, I'm sorry, I'll reward you with ten military sticks.

Xu Wei sent more than 500 soldiers of the Jingsui battalion to maintain order at the scene, but it was still insufficient. Although these people who had left their homes first came to be paid as soldiers, they could not bear to starve. But there are also people because of Xu Wei, after our righteous army arrived in Tokyo, my uncle didn't love my grandmother or my grandmother, and the officials and soldiers of the court bullied us when they had anything to do. It was Xu Inspector who made the decision for us. If you become a soldier under him, you can't treat us badly. Therefore, as soon as the conscription announcement of the Jingsui camp went out, the righteous troops from all walks of life rushed to the army like a long drought and a rainy day.

"Stand back! Back off! Squeeze further, the knife and gun have no eyes! "The soldiers who maintained order at the scene were already like veterans. These emotional raw melons and eggs snorted and drank, and in the face of that awe-struck gaze, I felt that I was also majestic. Recently, the morale of the Jingsui camp has been high, those who have been promoted have been promoted, those who have received rewards have been rewarded, and the commanders have even distributed the reward money given to him by the officials to the brothers, so what else do we have to say? Only serve with intentions.

Xu Wei and Zhang Qing traveled around the venue to supervise the recruitment affairs. Seeing the mermaids with hooks on their faces, all of them strong and strong, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. With soldiers and salaries, Captain He also promised equipment, although half a year was a little urgent, but he was afraid of being serious in everything, and there were such sufficient conditions. If you don't believe in training, you can't train a strong army! Calculating the time, if the Jin army launches another offensive in the first month, then the intention of the six-month deadline set by Taiwei He is obvious. Whether a unit can be used or not is known only when it is pulled into the battlefield. Thinking of this, Xu Wei didn't dare to be careless.

When I walked to Yang Yan, I saw that he was leading more than a dozen soldiers from the headquarters to inspect the strength of the recruits. The method is very simple, the two stone locks on the ground with fifty catties each, if you can lift them, you can pass the test. Although Xu Wei had never been a soldier in his previous life, he also knew more or less about military recruitment, physical examination and political examination were essential, and there were many projects. Now that it is nearly a thousand years ago, the conditions are limited, so let's make do with it. In addition to this, there is a test item that makes everyone scratch their heads. Xu Wei asked the military Chinese officials to mark dots of different sizes with pen and ink on the planed wooden boards. Or three or five, or seven or eight, all in a row. Anyone who passes the first few tests stands five steps away and looks at the wooden signs, and someone guides them to answer how many dots there are in the cluster.

"It's just a recruitment, you have a clean net worth and a strong physique, what do you do to check people's eyesight?" Zhang Qing smiled bitterly.

Xu Wei smiled and didn't answer, the imperial court officials and soldiers recruited troops, and they have always pushed their arms, that is, to see how many stone bows you can pull. It is only because the Great Song army is mainly infantry, and in the battle against the northern iron cavalry, it mainly relies on long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows. It is no longer possible to determine when this rule will be determined. But since then, the forbidden army has paid more attention to the strength of the soldiers, so that it has become common for the army to compare the strength of the arm, such as Yue Wumu, who is famous in the army for being able to shoot a 300-stone hard bow. It's just that no matter how strong you are, even if you can shoot an arrow a thousand steps away, maybe your head can play a role? And what the head depends on, it depends on the eyes! With eagle-like eyesight, you can be a sharpshooter who can wear through the sun in a hundred steps!

Regardless of the party, Khitan, and Jurchen, they all occupied the land of horses, and the cavalry was the main combat force. The best way to restrain cavalry is cavalry. But when he founded the Jingsui Battalion, he thought about it, and with the current conditions of the Great Song Dynasty, it was wishful thinking to form a large-scale cavalry corps. Then a well-equipped and well-trained infantry may not be the opponent of the steppe iron cavalry. And an elite infantry is indispensable for a considerable proportion of crossbow troops. When he fought in the field with the Jin army, the lethality of bows and arrows to the cavalry was still fresh in his memory.

When he was full of joy, Li Guan, the head of the capital, galloped over, and before the horse stopped, he was already as light as a swallow floating down to the ground. When this guy first joined the Jingsui camp, Zhang Qing and others had no opinion, saying that Li Guan was described as obscene. What does it take to be short in stature? But this guy who is not good-looking has a stunt. Walking on the eaves is fake, but it is not an exaggeration to climb over the wall and walk on the ground, and he is also clever, Xu Wei originally planned to reuse this person, but it is not time yet. Li Guan ran to him and said with a worried face: "Commander, the officer and army are also tearing up the stall to recruit new soldiers." They also wantonly attacked our Jingsui battalion, saying that we were poorly treated and poorly equipped. It is a miscellaneous card that does not enter the stream, and there is no future for entering the Jingsui camp. also said that to be a soldier is to be a forbidden army, that is the Son of Heaven Guard, the division of tigers and wolves. ”

"Fuck it! What Tiger Wolf Division? When he saw the Jurchen banner, he ran away, there is such an elite? Yang Yan suddenly came out and scolded.

"I said you belong to a dog? Ears so pointed? What to do, what to do! Xu Wei waved his hand and shouted.

Zhang Qing glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Although the forbidden army despises us, what they say is not completely unreasonable. It is true that our treatment is not as good as that of the regular officers and soldiers. I am afraid that their sideways insertion will have an impact on the recruitment of the Jingsui battalion. ”

Yang Yan probed his brain again and touched it, and whispered, "Do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

"Do you want to stir up the situation, do you think it's in Xiajin? Look at the official robe you are wearing, you are not a scoundrel now. Zhang Qing scolded with a smile.

Xu Wei thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No need, the road is facing the sky, go to one side." He summoned him, and I recruited mine, and they were desperate for us to go for trouble, and wanted to make this matter worse. Yao Pingzhong will repay his eyes, and if he didn't succeed in telling himself last time, he will definitely not give up. Now all his energy is focused on expanding his strength, but he has no time to fight him.

At the end of the first day, the Jingsui battalion recruited less than 3,000 qualified recruits. And according to the forbidden army, they have recruited seven or eight thousand. The rebels' bun is so big, there is not much left after a few bites. Yang Yan and the others were a little anxious, and suggested that Xu Wei relax the standards and grab people first. When the time comes, if you are not qualified, just find a way to kick it out. But Xu Wei resolutely disagreed, first, he insisted on taking the line of elite soldiers, and second, the Jingsui battalion had just been expanded, and he couldn't do anything untrustworthy. Zhang Hongcheng and Fang both expressed their opposition. also made a figurative analogy, conscription is not better than **, money is always a hole, and ten times money is also a hole. A good soldier doesn't work in a rotten army, but if a good army mixes in with a rotten soldier, it's a rat that can stir up a pot of soup.

The next day, the Jingsui camp recruitment site was noticeably more deserted than the previous day. At first, the officers thought that the news of our strict conscription had spread, which discouraged the recruits. According to the information that Li Guan heard. The forbidden army is not a thing, and he actually used three bad tricks. On the one hand, he frantically attacked the Jingsui camp, and on the other hand, he said that the forbidden army would recruit within a time limit, and he would not wait for it to expire. Although there is no shortage of loyal and righteous people in the righteous army, there are more of them just ordinary people who are hungry. You can make him patriotic, but you have to fill his stomach first. There are almost no thresholds on the forbidden army's side, unlike the Jingsui camp. So those who were watching flocked to the Forbidden Army.

Yang Yan and others scolded Yao Pingzhong's ancestors for all eight generations, but it didn't help. In the face of the temptation of nakedness, if it were you, I am afraid that you will choose the same as those rebels. Seeing that the recruitment table in front of the Jingsui battalion was getting more and more deserted, the officers were in a hurry and had no choice, and it was only less than April, and some people began to get angry.

Just when the officers were helpless, Xu Wei pulled a thousand troops, including his own soldiers, to the recruitment site. Do nothing, just form a phalanx. Everyone didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to ask Xu Wei. The heart says that the commander always has his reasons. The first day had no effect, but from the second day when the 1,000 troops arrived at the scene, there were obviously more people who came to enlist in the Jingsui camp.
