Chapter 166: Big Things and Little Things

Pretending to be a god is easy to say, but it is dangerous to do.

First of all, in order to keep secrets, impostors can't lead too many officers and soldiers.

There are so many people that no one knows what's going to happen outside, and if someone doesn't have a tight mouth, it's a big deal.

However, without strong subordinates, how can a fake person be alone to attract the attention of the government?

You must choose the right person, brave, wise, reliable, all of which are indispensable, otherwise, not only will you not complete the task, but it may be bad.

It stands to reason that Huang Degong is indeed the best candidate, but Shitishan is busy with military affairs and the training task is extremely heavy.

Who to choose?

Wang Teng has a candidate in mind.

In the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, when Wang Tengzhi was going through the procedures for building a factory, a bad news came quickly: Li Zicheng conquered Fengyang and dug the emperor's tomb.

Fengyang is the land of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's Longxing, the imperial tomb was destroyed, and the son of heaven Zhu Youzhen was so angry that he fainted.

After waking up, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to explain his mistakes, and at the same time, ordered Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, to exterminate the Liukou as soon as possible.

Jin Liangyu had just walked through Hong Chengchou's door, and was about to arrest the murderer on a large scale, who would have thought that when the news of Fengyang came, Hong Chengchou could no longer care about a small "caravan robbery and murder case".

In desperation, Jin Liangyu could only use his own means to look for clues everywhere.

In Shanxi, there are very few people who can use a large number of firearms, and Wang Teng is one of them.

However, considering that Wang Teng's subordinates were all newly recruited soldiers, Jin Liangyu quickly sent him out.

In everyone's mind, if they wanted to deal with three hundred caravan guards, the number of murderers must be six hundred.

It is said that Wang Teng only had a total of 500 soldiers and horses in Shiti Mountain. Moreover, these 500 people never left the military village, and they had no chance to commit crimes.

So, who is it exactly?

Sometimes, Jin Liangyu even felt that he might have offended a certain big person, so the other party gave him a little lesson.

The Jin family monopolized seventy percent of the iron business of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, he offended a lot of people, but who among these people could use so many firearms?

Jin Liangyu was puzzled.

In the stone ladder mountain, Wang Teng became a rich man.

With the money, the previously suspended recruitment ceremony can continue.

Wang Tengqian's official position can lead 1,000 people, and now there are still 300 places short.

When the news came out, Guangling County once again set off an upsurge in the selection of people to join the army.

The quota of 300 people was recruited in just two days.

For the construction of the iron works. Wang Teng had already made people build a tall wall at the foot of the mountain, and at this time, it was just right for the new soldiers to move in, of course, nominally this was a military village.

The large-scale military village is located on the main road, firmly stuck at the intersection into the mountain, and the military village is made of boulders and mountain trees, and it is expected to be a platform. There are gates, both offensive and defensive.

The first thing the recruits did when they entered the camp was to take a bath. At the other end of the military village, the leader of the gang had already prepared hot water and wooden barrels, waiting for the new soldiers to wash them.

Some new pawns are very unaccustomed to it, but they have to obey under the scolding of the old pawns.

After Mao Ajiu passed the selection, he got a military badge and a red dress, and the wooden military badge had a smooth texture. There is also a red rope tied to it.

It is said that this military card is a voucher for receiving the monthly salary in the future, but he didn't dare to lose it, so Mao Ajiu held it tightly, for fear that he would lose the wooden card if he let go.

The red garment was so new that it looked like a freshly made military uniform.

Rubbing military badges and uniforms. Mao Ajiu laughed happily.

How do you know that after entering the military village, several old soldiers scolded: "The mouth is like a trouser belt, laughing!" Hurry up and take a shower over there. ”

"Take a bath?" Mao Ajiu was puzzled, he had heard from the old soldiers in the village that the army had to kill people, loot property, and guard against bows and arrows, but he had never heard that the first thing was to take a bath?

"Where did all this nonsense come from? Just go! The old man said impatiently.

Mao Ajiu didn't dare to say much, he followed the prompt, and it didn't take long to come to the bathing place.

Standing next to the barrel was a black man with big arms and round arms, this man heard Mao Ajiu's footsteps, he didn't even raise his eyelids, but asked lightly: "Are you washing it yourself?" Or do you want Lao Tzu to wash it for you? ”

Mao Ajiu hurriedly shook his head, "Don't dare to bother my brother, I'll just come by myself." ”

"Then don't hurry up and do it, there are still people waiting behind to use the barrel!"

Mao Ajiu didn't dare to hesitate any longer, took off his clothes three or two times, and then carefully wrapped the military badge around his waist with his clothes and put it on the stone on the other side.

The cold wind blew on the naked body and immediately gave people goosebumps.

However, villagers like Mao Ajiu are used to suffering, not to mention bathing with hot water, even with cold water, their bodies and bones are enough to survive!

The hot water rubbed on his body, every pore exuded smoothness, and the rush and hard work of the past few days were swept away at the moment when the hot water possessed him, and Mao Ajiu almost couldn't help crying.

Fortunately, even if he woke up, he knew that there was no place for horse pee.

After cleaning, at the urging of the old pawn, Mao Ajiu put on his brand-new clothes and helmet and left the bathing place.

The military uniform of the Guangling Army adheres to the consistent characteristics of the Ming army's uniform, with a red body, only a white blank at the hem of the military uniform.

There weren't too many defensive items on the low-ranking soldiers' clothing, except for two bulging iron mirrors on their chests, which just stood in the way of the vital points on their chests.

Wearing new clothes, Mao Ajiu felt that he was closer to the goal of raising his eyebrows......

As the number of people increases, it is necessary to implement some daily rules and regulations.

Wang Teng didn't want a good dog mountain to be ruined by everyone.

The crunch of this is the establishment of latrines for everyone to use.

The thatched latrines are distributed in the form of steps on the stone ladder mountain, and at the top, there is one near Wang Teng's residence, which is reserved for Wang Teng's use.

Further down, a slightly larger latrine was built at the location of the military village storehouse, and of course, the largest one was the row of latrines at the bottom of the mountain.

All the latrines were built away from the mountain springs, after all, the daily water of the soldiers was taken from the mountain springs, and if the mountain springs were dirty, the thousands of people would have to find another water source.

Wang Teng set the military rules, and the cleaning of the latrine was undertaken by the soldier who was at the bottom of the training and assessment every day.

No one wants to be a swill army, so this military law has become a means of boosting morale in disguise.

After the latrine was built, if someone was found to be excreting anywhere, it would be punished with a cane for 30 years.

In a relaxed living environment, habits are difficult to change, but in the army with strict military law, it only takes a few days to change a person's habits. (To be continued.) )
