On the outskirts of Tangshan, a recruiting office of the Ming Empire, there are a lot of people outside. These people are all waiting to enter the medical examination so that they can become soldiers of the Ming Empire. It's not that they desperately want to serve their country, but that there's something different about this recruiting office.

Compared to the deserted recruiting offices in other places, there is a reason why it is crowded here. Because this conscription office was designated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the conscription office of the new army of the Ming Empire.

"What? Literate? Sir...... My brother was a soldier, or the 1st Army, and I haven't heard that you need to be literate to be a soldier? A **** man with an upper body and black tendon meat stood in the physical examination room for conscription, and asked with ignorance on his face.

The army of the Ming Empire was all ordinary people who were conscripted, and the average literate person either became an officer, or was preparing to take the exam to become a civilian official, and did not consider taking the road of the army at all. This is the first time I have heard that literate people are going to be soldiers.

The big man questioned, causing a lot of discussion among the conscripted civilians waiting in line behind him: "What? Want to be literate? I can write my own name, is that literate? ”

"Don't mention it, I can still do simple addition and subtraction, what is it to be able to write names? But where are these recruits? Still want to be literate? In the middle of the crowd, a man dressed in a grey homespun cloth asked the guards standing at the entrance of the recruiting office.

The guard, with his rifle on his back, stood tall like a pine. With his momentum alone, he is very different from those ordinary soldiers who have no standing posture all year round. Even if you look at this different guard, you can know that this recruiting army is quite different from other miscellaneous armies.

What's more, on the wall behind the guards, there is even a poster with treatment written on it, and every month it will take 15 more silver coins as an allowance than other Ming Dynasty troops, and it is stated that it will not be deducted...... This is simply the dream job of all poor civilians.

Even if the promise is discounted, as long as you can get a stipend of 3 silver coins, it is already a lot better than the garrison troops in many places. What's more, there were more than a dozen local soldiers standing there at the door, casually asking questions about the payment of allowances.

"My name is Fan Ming, I am a student, may I ask this commander, I am not physically strong, but I have no problem reading and writing, can I enlist as a soldier and participate in the trial?" A well-mannered young man walked out of the crowd and stood there looking quite delicate, compared to the big man just now, this man was much thinner, and even had a little weak taste.

However, his eyes were full of determination, and when he spoke, he was full of energy, which made the officer opposite look at him a few more times. This was delayed for a few seconds, so Fan Ming, who had mustered up his courage, showed a disappointed look on his face, and was helplessly ready to retreat and leave here to try elsewhere.

"Strong! Wait! May I ask you, why did you come here to enlist as a soldier when you have already studied? The officer opened his mouth and shouted to Fan Ming, who was leaving, and asked aloud, "Is it convenient to talk to me?" ”

"I heard that this is a new army formed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I think this is a good opportunity to serve the country from Rong, so I will try it." The man named Fan Ming looked at the officer and replied: "I can't cultivate much in this knowledge, instead of wasting the years, it is better to have a future for myself!" ”

"Good! Very good! As long as you have confidence and perseverance, this official will give you a future! The officer applauded as he spoke: "Take him to the barracks and participate in military training!" ”

"Wait!" The **** man with his upper body who was waiting on the side shouted loudly: "I don't accept it!" Why is it that such weak people can enter the army and receive the extra 15 silver coins a month, but not let the strong people enlist? Does this army not have to fight? You just choose people randomly? As long as it has something to do with you? ”

When the officer heard Dahan's question, he sneered: "The recruits that this officer is ordered to recruit here today are literate and good at learning, and as for what use it is for, it is not something that this officer can control—as for why?" If you are not convinced, go and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yourself. ”

……

"What the hell are you going to do?" When Wang Jianfeng was eating dinner, he looked at his gobbling up his son Wang Jue and asked. In order to ask these questions during this meal, he even drove the maid who served him out of the house: "Could it be that the troops of the entire Ming Dynasty are not enough for you to change?" Do you want to start your own business? ”

Wang Jue has been busy improving China's gasoline and diesel engines in Tangshan for the past few days, and he has not gone home for dinner for two days, he swallowed the food he was chewing in his mouth, and replied: "Father, my army has 3,000 more horses and 50 more large-caliber towed howitzers than the usual army of the same formation. How can it be compared to those ordinary armies? ”

When it came to this, Wang Jianfeng was angry, and that day Wang Jue's biological mother, that is, Wang Jianfeng's wife, Wang, suddenly came to discuss with him, the head of the family, to embezzle one billion gold coins to do business. Wang Jianfeng doesn't care much about the family's expenses on weekdays, so he casually agreed.

How did he know that the housekeeper talked a lot later, and he knew that these billion gold coins, but their Jingshi Wang family, most of the liquidity of the country's business. In order to withdraw this money, the Wang family even sold a lot of properties, and other families took the opportunity to steal a lot of business shares.

And this huge amount of money was finally used by Wang Jue for the construction of the new army. He, Wang Jianfeng, really wanted to know which group army the Ming Dynasty had that was worth investing a whole billion.

"That's all our royal family's money! You take it to make up for your good brother Zhu Mu? Do you know how much criticism the Wang family has caused because of this incident? Do you know that your mother knelt in the Wang ancestral hall all night for you? Wang Jianfeng frowned, slapped the table and scolded loudly.

Wang Jue put down the dishes and chopsticks, swallowed the last bite of food, and then wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his military uniform that didn't fit well, and replied: "Seeking a career, my Wang Jue is not even as good as Wang Nu; Seeking the country, not as good as your father; But what I am planning is everything that the Emperor of the Apocalypse is plotting - even further than he is plotting! ”

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the door: "What we have lost and spent today, I will use the new army to get back from our enemies one by one." And...... I'll take more! ”――
