Chapter 39 Pro-Soldier Selection
Chao Yong looked at a man who quietly relaxed his spine and shouted, "You, stand up straight, don't hunchback." If it doesn't work, it will be listed, and there will be more than 3,000 people. ”
Some people who gritted their teeth and persevered, hearing that there were still so many people, suddenly lost the perseverance to persevere, and walked out of the school field in frustration.
At this time, it was only a few days away from the whole army in Liangshan, and Chao Yong greeted the leaders and said that they would select a hundred pro-soldiers in advance, and the leaders naturally did not refute his face. But at the same time, he was also a little worried that Chao Yong would choose Jīng Rui away, so he came early in the morning to join in the fun, but when he saw Chao Yong's current almost child's play, he was immediately relieved.
Ruan Xiaoqi didn't know how many times he had turned around on the point platform, but he was not worried about Chao Yong's selection of Jīng Rui, because his sailors were all selected from the fishermen first, and the first to look at the water was the first to look at the water, so there was no conflict with the leaders of the soldiers.
It's just that I originally came with twelve points of curiosity, but when I came, I found that I was standing stupidly on the stage, boring and tight, and after standing for nearly half an hour, I finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Brother Yong, are you useful, just standing is a good soldier?" ”
Chao Yong looked at all the leaders with a skeptical look, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this static station, he not only tests everyone's physical strength, but more importantly, it tests people's perseverance and tenacity." Those who can insist on standing for half an hour will not have bad physical strength, and when they get to the back, in fact, everyone's body has reached the limit, it depends on who can persevere. ”
Lin Chong was also a little puzzled at first, and after listening to Chao Yong's explanation, he couldn't help but nod and said: "Brother Yong'er is right, I also heard my father say that many times fighting on the battlefield is physical strength and perseverance. When two armies face each other, the generals of both sides will estimate the position of the other party, and if your soldiers and horses can go beyond the limit and appear in a position that the opponent does not expect, you can catch the opponent off guard. The army fights, often fighting for several hours, and it is the tenacity of the soldiers and horses that fights in the back, to see who can hold on to the end, and the first side to retreat will most likely be taken advantage of the situation to cover up and be defeated. ”
Chao Gai was also a little skeptical about whether his money was wasted, but when he heard that Lin Chong seemed to approve of Chao Yong's method, he was also relieved.
Chao Gai also knew that although he was the master of a village, after all, he was born recklessly, and in terms of fighting, he might be able to compete with Lin Chong, but if it was said that they were using soldiers, they would be completely laymen, so Chao Gai handed over the matter of training soldiers and horses to Lin Chong.
The generals of the Northern Song Dynasty basically came from the generals, and they all had family martial arts and the art of war, which were difficult for outsiders to learn.
Although the Lin family is not a general, it is only because the Lin family has only been the head of the Beijing division for generations and is responsible for training soldiers and horses, so its reputation is not as loud as that of the border gates. But the Lin family also has marksmanship and the art of war that have been passed down from generation to generation, and the Lin family's marksmanship is even more unique, so the Lin family can be the head of the teaching in Tokyo for generations.
According to the Liangshan military system, the leader's personal soldiers were each paid five pieces of silver, all of which were paid by the cottage. However, in order to let everyone rush to be his own soldier, Chao Yong asked Chao Yong for a thousand yuan, and subsidized his own soldiers for another five yuan a month, and each person's salary reached ten yuan, which was the same as the centurion's salary, so all the soldiers were willing to use all their strength to compete for these fifty positions.
Half an hour later, there were less than 2,000 people left in the school yard.
Chao Yong looked at Hu Sanniang, who was drenched in sweat, and said with a smile: "Sanniang, you go back first, the rest of the people are all tenacious people, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell the winner for a while." If you stand any longer, I'm afraid you'll be black. ”
At this time, it was already the third pole on the rì, and the rì head in July was the time of poison, although the leaders did not wear armor, but they stood on the stage for half an hour, and they were already sweating, but they were all embarrassed to leave first.
Hu Sanniang has also practiced martial arts since childhood, this bit of hardship can still be eaten, hearing Chao Yong's ridicule, I couldn't help but glance at Chao Yong, but thinking about it, it is still important to be beautiful, and said angrily: "Your method of selecting troops is too boring, I'll go back first, you stake slowly stand." ”
After speaking, he threw his champa to Chao Yong, gave Chao Yong a slender back, and walked outside the school field.
With the leader, the other leaders suddenly remembered that they still had something to do.
However, after a cup of tea, only Lin Chong and Shi Qian were left on the stage to accompany Chao Yong.
Chao Yong saw that the two had no intention of leaving, so he smiled at Chao San in the audience and said, "Chao San, you go and move three chairs and get some tea." ”
Lin Chong was also sweaty at this time, although he also wanted to sit down and rest, drink tea to relieve the heat, but he knew that he was choosing a personal soldier for Chao Yong, so he didn't dare to be careless, and persuaded him: "To win the hearts of the army, the easiest thing is for the soldiers to share weal and woe." Now they're standing quietly in the audience, but we're sitting on the stage and drinking tea, isn't it? ”
Chao Yong wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Now it's time to choose a pro-soldier, and the duty of a pro-soldier is to protect the main general." Even if we sleep, they will be outside to keep guard. Therefore, they must be calm in order to be responsible. If you can't figure it out, what do I want him to do? Oh no, I slept, and he slept. ”
Lin Chong couldn't turn it around from the art of war education he had received since he was a child, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Chao Yong said was reasonable.
Sure enough, when Chao Yong, Lin Chong and others sat down on the general platform and drank tea to relieve the heat, dozens of people immediately walked out of the regular army standing hard in the school field.
Chao Yong took a sip of tea, and the summer mood suddenly went to three points, looked at the people who left, and looked at the people who left, all of whom were a little indignant, and shouted: "I recruited a pro-soldier, what is a pro-soldier, not only can I get more money than others, but also block swords, guns and arrows for me." When I sleep, you will keep watch outside, and even if I sleep with a woman, you will listen outside, and keep me safe. If you have a psychological imbalance, you should all go out, and tomorrow will be a big competition, and you can go and take the position of the commander of the ten and the centurion. ”
Lin Chong saw that many people in the audience began to hesitate, but Chao Yong didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, so he hurriedly coughed twice to stop him.
Chao Yong naturally understood the meaning of Lin Chong's cough, and after a pause, he shouted again: "Follow me, it may not sound glamorous to be a centurion, but you can get more opportunities to become a general than them." For wherever the enemy is more ferocious, I will lead you wherever I charge. My own soldiers face more dangers, but there are also more opportunities for meritorious service, and you can get more rewards, and even become partial generals and regular generals. Now, if you are afraid of death, please go out, because I don't need such a personal soldier for Chao Yong. ”
Some military men originally thought that Chao Yong, as the master of the young village, would be his personal soldier, and there should not be many opportunities to go to the battlefield, and there would be a lot of money, so they competed for the quota of this personal soldier.
At this time, hearing Chao Yong say that he had to take more risks than other troops, he immediately retreated, and he didn't care about the reputation of being afraid of death, and walked out of the school field one after another.
Chao Yong drank a cup of tea, and when he saw that he was leaving, he cleared his throat again and said, "Okay, those who stay are good men." Don't worry, as my own soldiers, in addition to the salary, even if you died in battle, as long as I am alive, I will still send it to your relatives on a monthly basis according to the salary you received during your lifetime. For 20 years, he will never break his word. ”
When the Zhengjun who insisted on the school heard Chao Yong's generous care, his already shaky body was instantly rejuvenated, and he straightened his waist one by one, and he was ready to persevere to the end.
"Bang" After a soldier persevered for an hour, he finally lost his strength, fell to the ground, looked up at the people around him who were still insisting, and struggled unwillingly to get up and leave.
After the first person to fall, some people who are not strong-willed, as if they have found a way to get out, are like multi-bone nomi cards, and people continue to fall and be eliminated.
After another cup of tea, Chao Yong looked at the remaining four or five hundred people on the stage, and then got up and said, "Okay, you take a break for a stick of incense, and then start the competition, and select a hundred people to be my pro-army." ”
When the hard-working soldiers heard that they had finally finished standing like a devil, they all immediately sat down on the ground and began to rest.
After the conversation just now, Lin Chong also knew that Chao Yong's selection of soldiers was well thought out, and he said curiously at the moment: "Brother Yong, why is this?" They have stood for so long, a stick of incense, I am afraid that many people will not be able to slow down, and I am afraid that the selected ones may not really be the best among them. ”
Chao Yong smiled: "Battles are often long-distance attacks, which may not give you enough time to rest. No matter how good your martial arts are, if you don't have a strong will to fight, you still don't have combat effectiveness. It's better to choose a strong will to fight, as long as the martial arts are not bad, you can always improve slowly in the future, but the will to fight is not something that can be trained. ”
Lin Chong didn't expect Chao Yong to choose soldiers in such a unique way, and what he said was also very reasonable. This half rì exposure seems to be worth it.
(It is rumored that in ancient China, there were 12 months in a year, 5 weeks in January, 6 rì in a week, 12 hours in a week, 4 quarters in an hour, 3 teas in a moment, 2 pillars of incense in a tea, 5 points in a pillar of incense, 6 snaps of fingers in a minute, and 10 moments in a snap of a finger.) Based on this calculation, a moment is half an hour, a cup of tea is ten minutes, a stick of incense is five minutes, a flick of the fingers is ten seconds, and a moment is one second. The time unit that appears in this article in the future shall be subject to this)
