Ling Feng said: "I still remember that Pang Yi once had an elite army, with only 5,000 people, he could break tens of thousands of enemies, whether it was field warfare, siege warfare, or cavalry warfare, he was the best among the soldiers; Later, in the imperial capital, I also formed such a large army, but unfortunately, because of many battles, and because of many military reforms, it was finally dispersed, today, after careful consideration, I decided to also form an elite, an elite iron cavalry! ”

When Ling Feng said this, Zhang Wu's face was already smiling, and the implication was that this elite army would be led by him, although the number of soldiers was not large, even if it was a thousand, it was worth five thousand ordinary soldiers, thinking of this, Zhang Wu was even more pleased.

Zhang Wu asked, "What does the general mean, will this elite be handed over to me?" ”

"Of course."

Ling Feng said: "Tomorrow you can go to the veteran barracks to choose, and the selected soldiers must be between twenty and forty-five years old, and they must be in shape; Moreover, he had to go through more than three major battles and kill ten enemies; These are the two requirements I have set, and you will be selected according to this criterion tomorrow, no matter how many, all of them will be included in the elite battalion and will be under your command! ”

Zhang Wu was stunned, according to this request, how many soldiers can be found?

First of all, the elite battalion soldiers must be produced in the veteran barracks, and there are only 80,000 people in the veteran barracks, and there will be no more than 60,000 between the ages of 20 and 45; And among these 60,000, if you want to pick out those who have participated in more than three major battles, this one alone can kick away more than half of the people!

The most important thing is the last one, the selected soldier must also have killed ten enemies, according to this requirement, then such a soldier is at least ten commanders in the army, because he can kill ten enemies, his combat exploits are already very good, and some have even become centurions.

According to the calculation of ten lengths, there will be no more than 3,000 such soldiers, and some unqualified soldiers will be eliminated, and all of them will be counted, but I am afraid that there will not even be 3,000.

"General, can the centurion be picked up?"

Zhang Wu asked.

Lu Wen and Lu Chang's eyes were full of fire, looking at Zhang Wu indignantly, and said in their hearts, it's good to let you pick elite soldiers, and you still want to pick generals, not to mention centurions, ten and five chiefs will not be given to you.

Zhang Wu pursed his lips, ignoring the two of them, and looked at Ling Feng with his eyes.

Ling Feng thought for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!" Lieutenant colonel or below in the veteran barracks, you can choose, but remember, you must meet the two conditions I said, and you are not allowed to fill the number indiscriminately, and if I know that you are shoddy, don't blame me for removing you from the post of commander. ”

Zhang Wu was ecstatic: "General Xie." ”

Lu Wen and Lu Chang were shocked at the same time: "General, the generals below the school captain have been swept away, this... How does this allow us to lead the troops? ”

"Why can't you bring troops? Just re-select a new general. ”

Ling Feng looked at Lu Chang and said, "Your soldiers will immediately withdraw to Pingxing, and Yu Qinglong and Liu Qing will take over the task of establishing the water village. ”

"No."

Liu Qing came out: "Obey." ”

At this time, the most depressed person was Zhang Ming, he always thought that he would get more soldiers and horses than Liu Qing, because he defeated Lu Wen after all, but he didn't expect that not a single soldier would be distributed, is it really like Zhang Guozhong said, Ling Feng will not hand over the military power to the hands of the family.

Sighing, Zhang Ming was a little lost.

Ling Feng naturally noticed Zhang Ming's expression, but for Zhang Ming, he had already made arrangements.

Looking at Zhang Guozhong, Ling Feng asked again: "Zhang Juncheng, I remember asking you a few days ago, how many soldiers and horses should I divide with Ling Gongzi, have you thought clearly?" ”

Zhang Guozhong didn't understand Ling Feng's intentions, so he said, "I don't know the general... What does that mean? ”

Ling Feng walked out of the desk, came to Zhang Guozhong's ear, and whispered, "Master Zhang, if you want to let Ling Gongzi be reused, there is only one way... That is these soldiers and horses you out, if you can capture Wushan, this general will be rewarded! ”

Zhang Guozhong: ".... ”

He seemed to understand what Ling Feng meant, but he was still a little unsure.

After thinking about it, Zhang Guozhong asked, "What does the general mean, recruit new soldiers?" ”

"Nope! When did I say I was going to recruit soldiers? ”

Ling Feng came to the seat and sat down, and said, "Isn't it true that if you don't recruit troops, your family clan will have no troops?" ”

Zhang Guozhong was taken aback, he now completely understood, what was Ling Feng not suppressing the Shi clan at the moment?

"Is the general referring to the private soldiers of the major families?"

Ling Feng smiled and nodded. Xindao, count your old boy as a quick response.

Zhang Guozhong's face was bitter, each family has its own private soldiers, most of them are two or three thousand, and as few as one or two hundred, these were originally to protect the property of major families, and they belong to private forces, but now...

Zhang Guozhong was very embarrassed and said: "General, if the private soldiers are handed over to the imperial court, how can the major families transport goods in the future, how can they have security, thieves along the way, it is not very peaceful; Besides, the confiscation of the private soldiers of the family must also have an explanation and reason, right...? Otherwise, it will not be convincing. Speaking of this, Zhang Guozhong quietly glanced at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng chuckled, he had long known that Zhang Guozhong was unwilling, such a thing that harmed the interests of the family clan, as the leader of the family family, how could he support it.

However, Ling Feng had a way, it was very simple to get the family to sacrifice private soldiers.

Ling Feng smiled and said: "Zhang Juncheng, the imperial court has just issued an order, in the future, the number of private soldiers in each family shall not exceed five hundred, and those who dare to transgress will be regarded as rebellion, do you know what I mean?" ”

"The lowly duty is understood, and the lowly duty is done!"

Zhang Guozhong was taken aback, and Dangji knelt down and said.

He knew that this was Ling Feng's nonsense, but he had to accept it. In fact, there is no imperial decree, is he not clear about this, but Ling Feng said that there is, who dares to say the opposite?

Ling Feng said: "This matter will be handed over to your father and son, the big family of Chu County, each family must make a contribution, gather private soldiers, hand them over to Zhang Ming for training, and within two months, capture Wushan." If I conquer it, I will have a heavy reward, and if I can't attack it, I will be punished with defeat! ”

"Alright, that's it, let's all disperse."

Ling Feng flicked his sleeves, walked out of the desk, and walked towards the outside of the house.

Zhang Guozhong and Zhang Ming glanced at each other and looked at each other.

Lu Wen, Lu Chang and the others looked lively, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with them.

The rest of the people also got their own recruits, and they all walked out of the hall with joy on their faces, especially Liu Qing, he can be said to be the happiest one, he is not good at martial arts, even Zhang Ming is not as good, but he got 20,000 soldiers, and he has also been reused by Ling Feng, and then he will alternate with Lu Wen and go to the Yangtze River to build a water village.
