Chapter 660: An Army Across the Ages (Part II)
In the army, it is a group life, so a medical examination is a necessary process before joining the army. Because once a person with a malignant infectious disease enters the army, it is very likely that an entire army will be destroyed.
In order to save trouble, Gaoyang also consumes very few energy points by activating the origin, where advanced military medical equipment consumes. So he directly used the advanced medical testing equipment in the same place. It only takes a few minutes to complete the recruit medical examination process, and the results can be obtained on the spot, and the process is very fast.
Zhou Qi began to check his body after giving his account post. He didn't understand what it was doing, but he did what people said he would.
Zhou Qi was originally a butcher among the Beijing masters, and his family was also considered to have a small asset. In this era, the pair belongs to the level of rich and handsome.
The medical consumption in this era is even more terrifying than the era in which Gaoyang lives! That's definitely a service that only wealthy people can enjoy!
Although it is often said in ancient books that there are records of famous doctors who administer medicine everywhere. But it's because there are very few such things that they are written in books. How expensive ancient paper was. Ordinary people are sick and want to be cured, so you can spend money slowly. It can't be cured much if it costs to bankrupt the family. If anyone in an ordinary family gets sick, the most they can do is to use the soil method to cure themselves.
Zhou Qi is a filial son who spent all his family wealth in order to treat his mother's illness. Even the very promising job of being a butcher can't be done. The family was destitute, the mother was sick in bed, and the younger siblings were crying out for food. Zhou Qi was also forced to be anxious, seeing that there was such a good treatment here, he didn't have anything to consider, so he just signed up and tried it first!
"Yes, you passed." The biochemical soldier in charge of doing the physical examination nodded. Said to Zhou Qi.
"If you can't be a good butcher, why do you have to join the army? You're not afraid of what to do if you don't give so much when the time comes? Yu Kuai, who was familiar with Zhou Qi, shook his head slightly, stepped forward and said softly.
Zhou Qi pursed the corners of his mouth, looked at the biochemical warrior who was making a record on the side, and said in a deep voice, "We also went to get the food when we sent it yesterday." It's this lord who is supervising it. That food saved the lives of our family! Let's believe in the national teacher and this adult! ”
Once you have someone to take the lead, the rest is easy. When the cyborg warrior opened the large iron box in the recruiting point on the spot, revealing the large ingots that were neatly arranged and dazzled in the sunlight. Everyone's hearts were boiling. That's silver! Wealth is moving! This sentence is so true.
And when Zhou Qi really got a big ingot of fifty taels as a settlement fee. The crowd that had already been excited immediately poured up like a tide.
The situation was opened up all at once. The recruitment points everywhere are in a similar situation, after the first person who eats crabs and gets the benefits appears. The dense and surging crowd soon surrounded all the recruiting points.
Good treatment. But it's not so easy to get selected. First of all, the physical fitness must be passed, and there must be no infectious diseases. The most important thing is to be innocent. Gao Yang only needs a sergeant from an ordinary family. Generations of farmers, small traders and peddlers. Don't have anyone with a relationship with the government.
Gaoyang is to build an army that can really fight, not an old-fashioned army that continues to eat and drink! He didn't want the veterans and bastards to bring bad habits into the new army.
Gao Yang has always believed that people from simple backgrounds have a firm character, as long as they have excellent equipment, mature training, and firm beliefs, they will inevitably be able to defeat all enemies of the same level!
The treatment of the formation of the new army this time was so good, and the sergeants of the Beijing camp who could not see anyone during the war naturally wanted a piece of the pie.
As the governor of the Beijing camp, Wu Xiang went directly to the palace to find Emperor Chongzhen and asked for rewards for the officials and soldiers of the Beijing camp. And Zhu Youzhen directly kicked the ball to Gao Yang. He directly said that not only was all the matters related to the formation of the new army handled by the national teacher, but also all matters related to the army were also handled by the national teacher. If you want benefits, then go to the national teacher to discuss it yourself.
After Wu Xiang left the palace, he found Gao Yang and proposed that the officials and soldiers of the Beijing camp do their best to protect the Beijing division. The casualties were severe. At this time, Li Yi was repulsed, and the imperial court not only did not mention the matter of compassionate rewards, but instead built a new army? How can this be accepted by the officials and soldiers of the Beijing camp? If there was any mutiny, he Wu Xiang would not be able to resist it.
Wu Xiang's voice of Dou E's shouting injustice is full of emotion. People who don't know the details really think that his admiral's Beijing camp has suffered a lot of grievances. It's a pity that Gao Yang knows everything very well.
"Lord Wu." Gao Yang sat on the chair with his legs crossed, his face was ancient, only a touch of indifferent disdain flashed in the depths of his eyes. Whispered, "Can we talk properly?" What have the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp done? Others don't know, Lord Wu, can you still not know? ”。
"National teacher." Wu Xiang, who had gray hair, had a righteous and awe-inspiring expression on his face: "The officers and soldiers of our Beijing camp sacrificed their lives to fight Li Rebellion, and finally drove Li Rebellion out of the Beijing Division. That's how the court treats us? Even if I don't say anything. But these officers and soldiers are afraid that they are unwilling, right? If they make a fuss."
"Alright." Gao Yang waved his hand, stood up, and said with disdain, "Isn't it just a mutiny?" You let them do it! Don't give me face! I'm waiting! ”
Seeing Gao Yang angry, Wu Xiang, who was originally righteous and awe-inspiring, instantly changed his image. Wu Xiang, who has already lived into a human spirit, is naturally very discerning. The reason why he came to Gao Yang to make trouble was mainly because the waste camps under his command were making trouble with him. He had to make a show to reassure the people, or he wouldn't be able to take the troops.
In the same way, this national teacher is not simple. If you still use the old way to deal with it, it will definitely not end well. This national teacher even dared to clean up the British duke! Not to mention the troublemakers. At this moment, Gao Yang didn't eat this, so he immediately changed his face. I'm afraid it's really bad luck if I continue to be tough.
"National teacher." Wu Xiang bowed slightly, and said with grievances, "Wu doesn't want to either." But the sergeants below want to make trouble, and Wu can't help it. I also hope that the national teacher has a lot of sea meaning. ”
"Hmph." Gao Yang snorted coldly and sat back in his chair. He is not a character who is coerced, if Wu Xiang wants to play hard, then Gao Yang will definitely accompany him to the end.
Gao Yang took out a cigarette and lit it. looked up at Wu Xiang, whose face was full of wrinkles, and said in a deep voice, "But as long as you Beijing officials and soldiers did their best when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, I would not treat you like this." But tell me for yourself, what have you done? ”
"What the national teacher said is very true!" Wu Xiang hurriedly saluted and said, "A certain family is also very ashamed, but the soldiers don't need to die, and a certain family has no choice." I also ask the national teacher to see that the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp have been standing guard day and night to defend the city for the sake of hard work without merit, and pity everyone. ”
The military families of the Ming Dynasty lived an extremely difficult life. Originally, the salary was not high, and the imperial court continued to cut, coupled with the continuous exploitation and drinking of soldiers' blood by generals at all levels. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, let alone supporting a family, even supporting oneself had become a difficult thing! This is also one of the reasons why the combat effectiveness of the army of the Ming Dynasty is getting lower and lower. If you can't eat enough, who will go to work for you?
The imperial court also had no choice. There is turmoil in all directions, less and less taxes are collected, but more and more people are reaching out, and the whole fiscal system is simply not making ends meet. Naturally, the treatment of officers and soldiers should be reduced. The lower the salary, the more unwilling the officers and soldiers are to work in vain, and this forms a vicious circle.
As for Wu Xiang, what kind of person is this guy. Others don't know, can Gao Yang still not know? In the Battle of Daling River that year, Wu Xiang fled when he led his army to help. Directly led to the annihilation of the entire army. Zu Dashou was dethroned, Sun Chengzong was deposed, and Wu Xiang was imprisoned. The entire defense line outside the border completely collapsed. The Ningjin defense line built by the Ming Dynasty at a cost of tens of millions of taels of silver became waste paper. At the same time, a large number of elite officers and soldiers were also buried, which made the entire Northeast Battlefield fall into complete passivity.
And Wu Xiang, who caused a great sin, was able to escape because he was a member of Ning Jinjun's family, and countless people vouched for him, but he was just locked up. His son Wu Sangui succeeded him and once again served as the chief military officer. What's the difference between this and a local warlord? With such people as commanders, how can the country not perish?
"I won't say anything else. I will give you 200,000 taels of silver in the camp. Gao Yang's words made Wu Xiang's heart move, and then Gao Yang was heard to continue, "But this is not a reward. Because you didn't contribute much when you were guarding the Kyoshi. This was to supplement the arrears of the previous imperial court. Although it can't be made up all at once, it can be a little bit. ”
Gao Yang waved his hand, stared at Wu Xiang with cold eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Don't do anything with the money I gave, otherwise you will bear all the consequences." ”
"Absolutely not!" Wu Xiang is tall and majestic, and he speaks like a bell. patted his chest and assured Gao Yang that he would not attack the salaries of the officials and soldiers in the Beijing camp. He swears to show how innocent he is.
Gao Yang scoffed at his assurance. If you want these people not to be greedy for ink, unless it's because cats don't like to eat fish. Gao Yang's doing this is just a foreshadowing. When attacking Wu Sangui and his son in the future, this is an excellent reason.
The recruitment of the Forces nouvelles is proceeding very well. For those who can't eat, this recruitment is a blessing that fell from the sky, and the momentum of signing up everywhere is very enthusiastic. In just a few days, the first phase of 15,000 people had been recruited. After that, they were all sent to a newly built recruit camp outside the city.
And what awaits them is a military career that belongs to the legendary level! (To be continued......)
