Chapter Twenty-Four: Taking the Stage and Ordering Troops
On a small hillside outside the village, a temporary flag fluttered along the breeze, and the book was written to recruit monks, Li Jing stood on the top of the hillside, looking at a group of villagers under the black pressure, and felt so unhappy, this is his own army in the future, more than the previous life. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing that everyone was almost there, Li Jing motioned to Li Denggao, who was holding the roster next to him, "Now start rolling roll according to the roster, call one, come out one!" ”
The roster records the young and strong people from each family just now, because of the ancient recruitment, the emphasis is on a strong body, Li Jing did not dare to casually recruit a group of good and bad people to train, after all, this is his own future life, to achieve his ambitions of the starting army, of course, the more elite the better.
Li Denghd cleared his throat, and just now he whispered to Li Jing if he had the intention to recruit himself to be a clerk or something, but he got Li Jing's verbal promise, where would he dare not work hard.
Only hearing him cough a few times, everyone suddenly quieted down, looked up at him, Li Denggao thought with satisfaction, he still had some prestige, and then he said, "Fellow villagers, today's recruitment of monks is a major event that has not been seen in my Qinghe Village for a hundred years. ”
"But as the saying goes, there are no rules, and this recruitment of monks is even more so, those who are less than five feet two inches are not allowed, those who are not young and strong, those who are not younger than sixteen, those who are higher than thirty-five, and those who are sick are not ......."
When the crowd heard this, there was an uproar, what kind of joke, isn't this just the main labor force in the family? In this way, what should I do if the land is wasted? Give one or two pieces of silver a month and pay taxes, what is it for?!
Thinking like this, someone couldn't help but speak, "Uncle clan, if I follow this standard, I can't choose a few in Qinghe Village, and besides, the young and strong have all gone up the mountain, what should I do with this farmland?" You can't count on a tael of silver to get by. ”
"Yes, yes, the child's father has been paid, and there is no one to take care of the family's more than ten acres of land." A village woman also crowded in to join in the fun, and when she saw this, she quickly expressed her worries, although the field was not her own, but if she didn't plough it, this tax would cost her life.
Seeing this, Li Denggao suddenly had no choice, so he had to look at Li Jing with the eyes of seeking advice, hoping that he would think of a way.
Where did Li Jing think about this, according to his idea, this group of people recruited to the mountain, in the future, they will be full-time soldiers, modern soldiers, which is not full-time training, otherwise how can they train elite soldiers, but after thinking about it, they are confused and have made the mistake of formalism.
In the feudal period, how could the soldiers stationed in the tun have daily exercises, let alone off-the-job training, they are stationed in the frontier and at the same time must implement the military tun, otherwise, the food consumption will be too great, sent from the inland, the cost is too great, and even the imperial court can't afford it, not to mention the grassroots stage.
Thinking like this, Li Jing is not a person who admits death, so he hurriedly came out to explain, "Everyone rest assured, you will take the salary and silver when you go up the mountain to eat, and you will organize training every day, not to mention, you will free up time to insist on working in the field every day, and you will not delay everyone's farm work." ”
After a pause, seeing that everyone was listening carefully, they didn't understand, and said, "What's more, let's think about it, in the past, everyone farmed as a family, and it was very hard when the farm was busy, and from now on, we will unite and work together, and we will definitely save a lot of time, and we will have a monthly salary to get, so everyone can rest assured, right?!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at the crowd and was full of anticipation, thinking that this should be about the same, right? Eh, if you knew that you would be able to cross, how good it would be to prepare this information for a long time, and now you are in a hurry, and you are also familiar with the ancient gun-making and social organization system.
A young man discussed with his relatives a little, and felt that this was a good deal, at least he didn't suffer a loss, so he quickly stood up, for fear that he would lose his position, "I think this is very good, I have a salary, I don't have to go to the field to dig in the afternoon, Brother Jing, count me in!" ”
"And me! Count me in, look at my body, I'm definitely not sick! Seeing that there was a leader, others scrambled to stand up, and the worry in Li Jing's heart finally went away, and he hurriedly motioned to Zhao Mosheng to go down with a cloth ruler and measure them one by one.
Just as everything was progressing in order, I suddenly heard a man shouting, "What? I have this strength, no one in the clan knows, isn't it shorter, why don't you want me?! ”
Li Jing took a look and hurried over, Zhao Mosheng said to him with an aggrieved face, "Lord, this is all done according to your requirements, this person is not tall enough, and it does not meet the rules you set." ”
In Zhao Mosheng's view, the height requirements set by Li Jing are superfluous, and this recruit can be recruited, and this person is a brave person at a glance, and he can't find it in the past, and he has many strange requirements from his own lord, and he has raised objections, but it is a pity that Li Jing insists on his own opinion.
In Li Jing's thoughts, the ancient military formation, the emphasis is on coordination, the height is the same, the training of the military formation is simpler, and the height also has some advantages, of course, the higher the better, but Li Jing did not expect that the ancient people were malnourished, even if the height of the northern people who eat wheat is generally not so high.
What's more, in Shanxi, the land is barren, not like the tall men in Hebei and Shandong, so this height requirement of five feet two inches is equivalent to one meter six or six in modern times is unrealistic, and looking at the man in front of him, his body is strong and powerful, and he asked others, he is a blacksmith apprentice and has a few strengths.
Li Jing thought for a moment, nodded to Zhao Mosheng and the man, "Write down his name first." ”
Seeing this, the man hurriedly thanked him, and was led aside by Zhao Mosheng to lift the stone, Li Jing recruited troops, thinking about some methods in his previous life, which can be roughly divided into measuring height, taking off his shirt to look at his skin color to observe his fitness, and finding someone he knows to understand whether there is a disease in the body.
In the end, the two stones that were carried down from the mountain were used as stepping stones, which were not heavy, more than 30 catties, and could be lifted high ten times over the chest, even if they passed.
Just as Li Jing watched all this go on in an orderly manner, he suddenly saw a black spot on the mountain rushing down, and it didn't take long to get in front of him, and he was panting and wanting to say something without resting.
"Speak slowly, don't rush." Although there is a hunch in my heart that something is not good, but it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, Li Jing has never been afraid of anything when he comes to this world.
The monk threw up the water in the bowl, didn't care to wipe it, and hurriedly spoke, "My lord, the abbot of the mountain doesn't know how to know that you will go down the mountain to recruit troops today, and you will bring people over." ”
"What?!" Li Jing was stunned for a moment, he was deliberately avoiding others to recruit troops, thinking about waiting for the soldiers to recruit and find a place in the mountains where no one was to practice, although he didn't plan to hide it completely, but if he delayed it for a day, after a while, he might not be able to bully whom.
In order to achieve the effect of secrecy, before dawn today, he went down the mountain, and even handed over the burden of fooling the landlord and the old wealth to Feng Xingman, and specially explained not to alarm others, how could the abbot know so quickly? Li Jing's heart suddenly changed, could it be that someone secretly made a small report?!
