Chapter 32: Recruiting Troops Like This
And some students in Tongzhou State School also knew the news, in ancient times when there was a lack of entertainment, this undoubtedly became a topic of discussion after dinner:
"Brother Zhang Nian, what do you think of Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Si recruiting troops from us?"
"Brother Liu, I heard that this new Nanzhen Fusi Zhenfu is amazing, his Xie Yuan of Jiaxing Mansion in Zhejiang Province also beheaded the leader of the thieves Wang Jiayin in the army of Wanjun on the way to visit relatives, because of such a great achievement, he was promoted by His Majesty to Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi Zhenfu, which is really a model for generations of scholars."
"Brother Wang, you don't know yet! His name is Yang Tingjian, and he is still the thirty-third grandson of Yang Zhen, the captain of the Eastern Han Dynasty! After the famous family! ”
Of course, there are also discordant voices, some people worship Yang Tingjian, and some people poke his nose:
"I think that Yang Tingjian is still familiar with the books of sages, how can a scholar of my generation be willing to be an eagle and a dog's minions, and he has really lost the integrity of a scholar, and he is deeply ashamed."
"Well, our generation of scholars should draw a clear line with the eunuchs and factory guards, and never collude with them, thus ruining the reputation of scholars."
"Why don't we go to Lord Zhizhou to sue this Yang Tingjian."
"It's over, it's over, at this time, Yang Tingjian was personally promoted by His Majesty, not to mention that people come to Tongzhou and don't show off in the market! I haven't done anything illegal or undisciplined! What are you going to sue, do you dare to make false accusations against Jinyiwei, it's really stupid......"
"Who do you say is stupid, you are the sven scum......"
"I've fought with you scumbag...... Ahh!!hhhhh ”
The two gangs of people started to fight, and the tables and chairs in the classroom suddenly flew sideways, if it wasn't for the timely appearance of the teaching, the two gangs would really be beaten to the head and bleed, it was really Sven swept the floor. But the scholars of the Ming Dynasty are like this, even above the court, those ministers dare to stage a full martial arts in front of the emperor.
As long as Yang Tingjian does not violate their interests, they will not take the initiative to jump out and oppose Yang Tingjian, which is also the norm of the Chinese people, "It's not about yourself, hang high." ”
What's more, at this time, the political status of merchants is really not high, and many people are willing to work or marry the gentry in order to protect themselves, so that they can be guaranteed in politics.
……
Le Yichuan is a Mongolian and is very familiar with horses, as for the purchase of horses, Yang Tingjian handed over all the things to Le Yichuan to be responsible, and the recruitment work is personally checked by Yang Tingjian.
Yang Tingjian put the place where the recruits were placed in the abandoned Tongzhou school field, this place is big enough, but it is overgrown with weeds, and it has not been used for a long time at first glance, and the guards here are afraid that they have not practiced here for a long time.
After a few days of registration, there were a lot of people who came, at least 30,000 or 40,000 people signed up, and after preliminary screening, Yang Tingjian left 8,000 people.
Yang Tingjian first gathered 8,000 people under the school platform, and then began to lecture:
"Dear brothers,
Today, in order to make up for the establishment, Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi recruited in Tongzhou, and the treatment is like this, Jinyi Weilux has an annual salary of thirty-six taels of silver, and these thirty-six taels of silver are real salaries, and there will be no deductions, and the quota is 1120. ”
As soon as Yang Tingjian said this, the following bitter haha began to whisper:
"Really!"
"Wow, that's great."
"It's just that the number of people is too small, how can we recruit 1,120 people!"
This is the difference between the people and the soldiers, Yang Tingjian also understood, so he had to say hello:
"Quiet, 1,120 auxiliary soldiers, twenty-four taels a year, I can say that this is the highest salary in the Ming Dynasty, and it is a real distribution, there is no drift and deduction, and there will be no filial piety to these bad habits, and your food, clothing, housing and transportation are all covered by the Nanzhen Fusi, so that when you calculate it, your military salary is no less than five taels of silver a month.
Although this is a high salary, but thinking of our Nanzhen Fusi to eat this bowl of rice, it is not so simple, Prime Minister You must be a child of a good family, there is no one who violates the law within three generations, and we will send someone to verify everyone who is selected, if someone conceals the truth and sentences him to ten years of military security, now please leave immediately if there is a traitor within three generations, and this official will not do any investigation. ”
Yang Tingjian's article is strict enough! This is exactly the same political trial conditions as the rabbit recruitment in later generations, so the children of a good family will be afraid of military law, completely obey orders, and are also the best soldiers, those old fritter soldiers are not what Yang Tingjian wants.
The 8,000 people below immediately talked about it, and although the young men who had committed adultery within three generations were given a salary by the brocade guards, they did not dare to hide it, because once it was verified, it would be a ten-year military garrison.
After a short discussion, nearly seven or eight hundred people finally withdrew from the school one after another. Yang Tingjian then began to speak loudly about the following conditions:
"In addition, because the number of recruits is limited, the official has set up several tests. The first is to run ten laps around the playground, just ten miles, and the first person to reach it is considered selected.
Then there is weightlifting, those who can lift eighty pounds of stone locks ten times will be naturalized Jinyi Weilishi, and the rest will be added to the auxiliary soldiers of Jinyi Weinan Town, and fifty pounds will be added to the auxiliaries. ”
After Yang Tingjian finished speaking, he asked Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian to organize, this is not a difficult job, and soon more than 7,000 young men in ragged clothes began to run around the school field, and suddenly the entire field was dusty, and the earth also let out a dull roar with the flow of people.
These five kilometers of cross-country, later generations will carry all the weapons and equipment, and now these young people are empty-handed, and those with endurance can definitely run down.
Don't look at running, but the embodiment of the comprehensive elements of the human body, people who don't have physical fitness or endurance can't run five kilometers at all.
The footsteps of "Dong Dong ......" sounded like a tide, and they sounded continuously, and a large stream of people ran up the school field, and dozens of elite horsemen brought by Yang Tingjian also maintained order around.
In the first few laps, no one was left behind, and after the fourth lap, people began to fall behind one after another, and these people who couldn't run did not dare to stay on the runway, so they hurriedly bent over the edge of the runway to gasp, and these people must have been eliminated.
After the sixth round, some people began to withdraw directly from the selection, and those who were not tough enough would definitely not be able to persevere, Yang Tingjian's future soldiers would basically use muskets, and when facing the enemy's cavalry, if there was no toughness, it would cause the collapse of the troops.
So these people can't be wanted, after the seventh lap, more and more people fall behind and withdraw from the selection, and the speed of the flow of people is also much slower.
Da Niu and Ergou are okay, the two are running desperately in the middle of the team, Da Niu and Ergou are still too poor in their usual life, and the body is not enough. After the first seven laps, Da Niu felt that his heart was almost jumping out of his chest, his breathing was also very rapid, and the sound of "huhuhu" was like pulling through the bellows.
