Chapter 118 Recruiting Soldiers [I]

Zhao Yu took a step forward, and immediately a soldier of the forbidden army handed over the iron megaphone designed by Zhao Yu himself.

The soldiers who had never seen this thing were a little curious, and many of them took a few steps forward to see what the real prince was holding in his hand. It was a lot more convenient to ask Zhao Yu to speak. This is probably the most unexpected effect of the megaphone!

Since he had never seen the ancient army parade, Zhao Yu simply learned the modern: "Soldiers! Hello! ”

Zhao Yu was greeted by a cold scene, how are you? When would an officer be so polite? And this is not an officer! It's the king! There can't be some conspiracy, right?

Seeing the wary expressions of these soldiers, there were whispers like mosquitoes whispering in their ears below. Zhao Yu was also very helpless, and he didn't expect that he had already messed up at the beginning.

Although General Han Ping did not oppose Zhao Yu's proposal, it did not mean that they were convinced. After all, everyone has something to be proud of in their own professional field. Now that they saw that Zhao Yu was ugly, they all smiled secretly in their hearts, or raised their heads proudly. He said happily in his heart: When it comes to military training, you should listen to those of us who are soldiers and do our own selection, right? Messed up, right?

Although Zhao Yu couldn't see the expressions of Han Ping standing behind him, he could also estimate that these guys were snickering at the moment.

Zhao Yu took a deep breath, he knew that he couldn't mess around at this time, so he simply said what he thought in his heart, no matter how ugly it was, it wouldn't be bad to get there! It's a big deal, and then pull the strong man yourself!

"I'm not going to tell you anything! Among you, there are the people of Jingdong Road, and now this king is the pacification envoy of Jingdong East Road! Do you want to follow this king home? Want to get a field? Zhao Yu shouted.

The riot in the box soldiers became even bigger, and some people couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wang, is what you said true?" ”

"Lord, how do we get the field?"

There were many voices of questioning, and they were also urgent. For land, the Chinese have a desire that others can hardly imagine, and they are willing to fight for everything for a field that can provide food and clothing for their children and grandchildren. This is one of the important reasons why the Qin army is so fierce.

"This king has decided to implement the system of awarding fields for military merits! For each mission, there is a certain amount of merit, and according to the number of merits, after one year, the field will be awarded! And this king promises here that even if there is no merit, just hard work, you can get ten acres of land! Zhao Yu said incitatively.

All the van soldiers were boiling, including the soldiers who were not on Jingdong East Road. What is the concept of ten acres? Hundred Money! And the treatment of the soldiers of the forbidden army is good enough, about three times a month! In other words, these ten acres of land are equivalent to a forbidden soldier who does not eat or drink for about three years, and the actual situation is that it will take ten years to buy!

As long as you serve Zhao Yu for one year, and deal with only bandits, grass bandits, etc., you can get the reward of shortening the ten-year struggle! And this is still the minimum, if you take some credit during the period, you can't say that you can become a small landlord!

"Lord Wang! I'm going to follow you! Even if you don't pay money, you can do it! ”

"Lord Wang, choose me! Look how strong and tall I am! I'm five feet five inches! ”

Of course, there are those who enthusiastically support it, and there are naturally those who are skeptical. "Lord Wang, does it matter if you say this?"

Hearing the questioning voice, the originally enthusiastic box soldiers immediately hesitated. Oh, yes! In case Zhao Yukong gloves white wolf, who are they looking for? Today, the saint is the brother of the prince in front of him, and it is impossible to help us mud-legged people deal with their own brothers!

"There is no basis for words!" Zhao Yu nodded very calmly and said: "Your concerns are also known to this king, so this king will say this promise loudly in front of the officials, in front of the civil and military officials, in front of the people who come to watch, and in front of so many people at the military dispatch ceremony tomorrow!" Don't you think that's enough? ”

No one objected anymore, although Zhao Yu's promise would not be exchanged until tomorrow, but they did not give Zhao Yu their lives today. If Zhao Yu repented, the soldiers did not think that they were muddy, and they did not dare to launch a mutiny, but they still had the courage to gather a crowd to protest.

The surging crowd that had calmed down a little bit surged again.

Zhao Yu pressed his hands and shouted loudly several times to calm down, which made the soldiers calm down. Secretly exhaled, Zhao Yu said loudly: "Although you all want to participate in the war, this king is only recruiting 2,000 people!" However, this king is a fair person, so I give you three selection conditions! ”

Hearing this, the soldiers also quieted down and listened. This is related to their future, and it is related to their minimum of ten acres of land.

"First! Run, in an hour, from here to Xincaomen, and back from Xincao. ”

Xincaomen is about thirteen miles away from the barracks, and one round trip is twenty-six miles. Although there are some examples of marching 200 miles a day in ancient times, in fact, the infantry marches without camping, and generally travels about 100 miles a day! It is also a plain area, connected by official roads.

According to this calculation, six hours a day, theoretically, a soldier walks sixteen miles in one hour.

Of course, this is a relatively neat march. The van soldiers only need to get to Xincaomen, and this speed can be faster. At the same time, they do not need to carry weapons, armor, and reduce their weight to complete this task. It's not easy, but it's not impossible.

Zhao Yu's proposal immediately made some tall people question it. Because they think they can definitely enter the forbidden army, where the success rate of willing to enter changes from 'certain' to 'possible'?

"Lord Wang, do you need to run? No matter how fast you run, you can't run as fast as a war horse! You should follow the method of your ancestors and choose tall and strong men! ”

Zhao Yu shook his head very firmly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "You haven't joined the king's army yet, so it's just now!" When you join the army of this king in the future, you need to remember that it is your duty to be obedient as a soldier! If the official has given an explanation, you only need to obey, and if you question it, kill it! Now this king will tell you the reason, that you may be convinced. ”

Although some soldiers were dissatisfied with Zhao Yu's tough and harsh system, they still suppressed their dissatisfaction because of the ten acres of land. No one opened their mouths to refute, and they all listened to Zhao Yu's explanation quietly.
