Li Zhen answered Qi Shan's question, and soon left the Chinese army's tent with Wu Qigong. He did not follow Wu Qigong back to the camp, but walked alone towards Huang Shihai's camp.

Previously, he and Huang Shihai talked about the formation of a sharp knife special forces, but did not select soldiers.

Next, it's time to pick the soldiers.

Li Zhen came to the outside of the camp, and the four soldiers standing guard straightened up and greeted Li Zhen energetically. When Li Zhen strode in, the four soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Li Zhen entered the big tent, and Huang Shihai hurriedly got up from his seat and gave Li Zhen a seat. After Li Zhen sat down, he asked, "Shihai, how is the matter of selecting soldiers?" ”

Huang Shihai nodded and said, "Lord Hui, it's all arranged." ”

After a pause, Huang Shihai said again: "My lord, the soldiers in the army are all soldiers who dare to fight, are not afraid of death, hardship, and tiredness, and they can all join the Sharp Knife Special Forces." ”

In his bones, Huang Shihai is still proud.

Huang Shihai believes that the soldiers under his command are very good, and hopes that all soldiers can participate.

Li Zhen shook his head and said firmly: "Shihai, I have already told you that the Sharp Knife Special Forces are not just capable of brute strength and martial arts. They have a lot to learn and a lot to pay attention to. Okay, you gather the nine hundred and twenty-eight soldiers in the army who can fight, assemble under the ring, and I will personally select the soldiers. ”

"Yes, I'm going to give orders."

Huang Shihai sighed in his heart and turned to leave.

The two went out of the camp one after the other, and Li Zhen stood in the ring and waited. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the nine hundred and twenty-eight soldiers in the battalion who could fight were assembled and stood in unison under the ring.

Huang Shihai and Huang Hu stood at the front with their heads held high, full of energy.

Li Zhen instructed: "Huang Shihai, Huang Hu, stand next to you, you don't have to stand with the rest of the soldiers." Huang Hu and Huang Shihai were ordered, and immediately withdrew and stood by to watch.

The two are generals in the army and do not need to participate in the selection.

Li Zhen took a deep breath and said loudly: "First of all, let me say a rule. When I speak, I am not allowed to talk to each other, I am not allowed to whisper, and whoever violates will leave. Those who do not want to obey stand up immediately. Li Zhen paused, his gaze swept over all the soldiers, and asked loudly, "Is there anyone who does not obey?" ”

"Nope!"

The soldiers tore their throats and shouted loudly.

Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "No one has left, it's good." You all know that I'm going to select soldiers to form a special force with sharp knives, but the first requirement to be selected is to shave your hair, and everyone has a shaved head. Those who are unwilling to shave their hair stand up, and those who are willing to stay. I give a quarter of an hour to think about it, and a quarter of an hour later to select the next step. ”

The first condition is that Li Zhen shaves his hair.

Just imagine, when you are engaged in hand-to-hand combat, being pulled by someone's braid is absolutely instantaneous. No matter how powerful the martial arts are, the braid is pulled and can be torn free. Besides, you can get a wig if you shave your hair, and you can also deal with people who are officials, and the impact is not great.

The soldiers under the ring, you look at me, I look at you, I think it's very strange.

Huang Hu reached out and touched his bare head, grinning.

Huang Shihai's brows furrowed, and he felt a little ridiculous in his heart. But he has already submitted to Li Zhen, he will not go back on his word, and he does not dare to interfere with Li Zhen's work, so he can only wait quietly. A quarter of an hour passed, and only two-thirds of the soldiers were left under the ring, and more than six hundred remained.

Li Zhen said: "I am very happy that you can stay, and I hope you can hold on to the end." ”

After a pause, Li Zhen shouted: "Those who have smoked opium are out of the ranks!" ”

More than 600 soldiers remained motionless, and not a single one of them came forward.

Li Zhen didn't believe that there was no one, and said coldly: "I reiterate once again that the soldiers who have smoked opium and smoke are out of the ranks. If they stay inside, they will be expelled from the barracks if they are found out. Now stand up, still continue to stay in the battalion, and still be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, I hope you will think about it, don't cheat, don't challenge my bottom line. ”

Li Zhen's words came out, and the soldiers began to waver.

At the same time, some soldiers looked at Huang Shihai, who was standing not far away, expecting Huang Shihai to stand up and speak. Huang Shihai and Huang Hu stood without speaking, letting all the soldiers know that they couldn't get along.

Even if you fool the past now, you will be exposed later.

Gradually, one or two soldiers came out of the ranks in despair, and one after another withdrew. With the people at the beginning, the psychological pressure of the follow-up soldiers was not so great, and they all took the initiative to come out and stand with the soldiers who had withdrawn earlier. At the end of this round, not too many soldiers left, only one hundred and twenty people left, and nearly five hundred.

Li Zhen continued: "You 500 people are preliminarily qualified, but you still face a problem. Next, you will be able to read and write, you will be able to read like a child, you will be able to memorize texts like a child. ”

In an instant, the soldiers under the ring let out a burst of exclamations.

"Ah, I still have to read! It's terrible! ”

"I'm just a coarse old man, I can't read big words, how can I read?"

"No, you can't read, you can't read."

……

There was a commotion under the ring, like a vegetable market, and most of the soldiers showed surprise on their faces. In this era, the vast majority of scholars are taking the merit test, and then thinking about the title of the gold list. The vast majority of the soldiers who joined the army were ordinary people who had never read a book, and it was incredible to suddenly let them read.

What's more, many soldiers think in their bones that they can't read and don't believe in themselves.

Li Zhen looked at the noisy and chaotic scene and sighed in his heart.

It is impossible for a scholar to be a soldier, but a soldier is the majority of illiterate people. Li Zhen wants to form an elite sharp knife special force, which requires soldiers to be able to read and write, and soldiers need to have enough martial arts. The only way to do it is to make the soldiers literate and gradually become people who can write and fight. It's a long way, but it's not impossible.

Huang Shihai stood aside and shook his head slightly.

Huang Hu even laughed, hoping that Li Zhen would change his mind and stop studying.

"Quiet!"

Suddenly, Li Zhen shouted.

In an instant, the five hundred soldiers under the ring all shut up and did not speak.

Li Zhen continued: "I know that many of you are illiterate and have never read. But as long as you have perseverance, perseverance, and ideas, nothing can stump you. How to choose? It's all up to you. I also give you a quarter of an hour to think about it, those who are willing to read will stay, and those who are not willing to read will be automatically listed. ”

"Alas, I'm really not reading material, no, really not." A middle-aged strong man shook his head and walked out of the queue and walked towards the team next to him.

Immediately after, another soldier came out one after another.

The corners of Li Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, and he was a little nervous in his heart. He still overestimated these soldiers, and not every soldier was willing to stay and read and write. Most of the soldiers were ordinary people, illiterate, unreadable, and instilled in their minds the idea that they couldn't read, so they quit one after another.

More than 500 people, and in the end only one hundred and twenty-three soldiers remained.

Such a big gap surprised Li Zhendu.

Huang Shihai was not surprised, because he had expected the situation in front of him. Especially since there are more than 120 soldiers left, it is already very good.

Li Zhen lifted his spirits and said loudly: "All the soldiers left behind have been registered and become the first batch of soldiers of the Sharp Knife Special Forces." I am sure that you will not regret your decision today, because you have chosen the path of the strong. ”

Next, Li Zhen handed over the matter to Huang Shihai to deal with.

Register and start preparing for the training of soldiers.
