Chapter 5: Captain Wu

After Han Xu's scenery, the performance of others was insignificant, and the generals watched absentmindedly, and after another half an hour, those who passed the customs and those who came down were divided into two teams and went to the stage to salute together.

Li Bingcheng stood in front of the stage, glanced at Han Xu first, and then said to everyone: "Those who have passed the customs are all good, I will wear the waist card for a while, and move my luggage to my new residence, horses, weapons, and I will have them in a few days." If you don't pass the test, you will go back to your team to play with peace of mind, and you will eventually have your first day. ”

This general soldier is also eloquent, those who did not pick the original were depressed, at this time finally came back to strength, everyone thanked one after another, and was selected to get the waist card happily.

Han Xu was led to the general's platform, Yang Guoyong and Gao Xiaosan also passed the test, and the strength of the two of them was enough, at this time, seeing Han Xu being taken to the general's platform, Gao Xiaosan said with envy: "This time, I'm afraid that Han Da is going to be picked out as a family, this guy is lucky." ”

Yang Guoyong shook his head and said: "How can this be said to be luck, I have never seen a stronger one in his archery skills, it is strange that such a person does not come forward." It's just that when he was in Kaiyuan before, he somehow didn't notice it. ”

When the two spoke, Han Xu had already gone to the high platform, and the lowest level on the platform was also a guerrilla general, only the Chinese army who led the way was a thousand generals, Han Xu arrived on the stage, quickly knelt down and saluted, and said: "The villain Han Xu greets the chief master and the generals, the chief grandfather Hou Wandai, and the generals are rising step by step." ”

"Haha," Li Bingcheng smiled: "It's still a talker, and it's very clever to look at." ”

Although Han Xu is not a handsome guy, his appearance is also good-looking, plus he is tall, he is even more selective in riding and shooting, and his lip gloss is good, the more Li Bingcheng looks at it, the happier he is, and he is going to directly plan to accept him as a family member at the moment.

At this time, a fat Qian Zong trotted onto the stage, gathered next to a guerrilla general in an official robe, and whispered a few words.

The guerrilla coughed lightly, and said before Li Bingcheng's words: "This Han Xu is under the command of the last general, and I heard the head of the group say that his temper is not very good, and he often argues with the team officers, and he has beaten his colleagues in public. ”

In fact, the military discipline of the Ming army is very strict, don't say fight in the camp, even if the sound of coughing at night is louder, it is also a violation of military law, and the light is to insert arrows into the camp, and the head will be cut off if it is a little heavier, and the later generations only say that the military discipline of the Ming army is broken, in fact, the generals usually cut a lot of heads, but after Wanli, the court finances went bankrupt, and the military salary was delayed for half a year.

At this time, as soon as he heard that Han Xu was such a person, Li Bingcheng was a little hesitant, and the guerrilla who spoke was called Wang Wending, an old qualified general who fled back from the battlefield of Saaryou, and it was inconvenient for him to refute the other party's face, no matter how he said it, he was just a family member.

Li Bingcheng hesitated for a moment and said, "In this case, Han Xu should go back to his team and ask the team officer to restrain and discipline him." ”

Hearing this, the Chinese army stepped forward and said to Han Xu: "Don't hurry up and go down!" ”

Han Xu had no intention of going down, the opportunity was fleeting, he kowtowed, and said in a deep voice: "I don't dare to dismiss what the guerrilla master said, but I dare to ask the master, isn't this time to recruit strong men?" Even if the little one has a bad temper, the little one is not afraid of death, and he is willing to serve the sentry in front of the battle! ”

What Li Bingcheng said was just to give Wang Guerrilla face, a small soldier, and he didn't have to have a share with his colleagues, but Wang Guerrilla grabbed his head in public, and he was also uncomfortable in his heart, Han Xu replied very decently, Li Bingcheng deliberately laughed when he heard this, and said: "This small army is also interesting, and it is indeed brave, the official will ask him to be a sentry commander, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Wanliang glanced at Wang Wending and said jokingly: "Actually, he has become a team officer." ”

Wang Wending was a little embarrassed, but this time he didn't say anything, and he smiled and agreed.

"That is the case," Li Bingcheng looked majestic, and ordered: "Go down and lead the army chief's waist card, and when the armament is ready, this officer will ask you to go to the sentinel to investigate the military situation. ”

"Yes, the little ones don't dare."

Han Xu snorted at everyone again, and then turned around respectfully.

The generals don't take this matter to heart, the Dongyu army is in full swing, the entire defense line of Liaoshen is very unstable, the old scripture has been convicted, and it will be dealt with only when the new scripture comes.

Han Xu came down, Yang Guoyong and Gao Xiaosan both came up, and after he said that he had never been selected into the family and was only given the position of Wu Chang, Yang Guoyong sighed and said: "It's okay, it's better than being a small army under Wang Dali." ”

Gao Xiaosan's face was a little happy, and he said with a smile: "Han Da is the captain of the army, of course we will follow together, and someone will take care of it." ”

Han Xu nodded and said, "Let's work together to make a name for yourself and get rich." ”

The two of them were amused by his words, and they both laughed out loud.

……

Li Bingcheng only picked out a total of about 50 sentinels this time, handed them over to a thousand presidents to manage, and after each of them received their waist cards, they went to live in the fort, and the welfare benefits were definitely much stronger than ordinary battalion soldiers. Tang horses, night do not collect, sentinel cavalry, erection beams, these types of troops are one level higher than ordinary cavalry, only under the general's personal soldiers, most of them are brave and brave to die, not only to have extraordinary skills, but also to have the courage to pass.

Three meals a day to be full, and he really never broke his promise, these days there is military food sent every day, there is gradually no shortage of food in the army, there is also meat, big fat slices stewed sauerkraut vermicelli, every meal is enough, after eating for a few days, Han Xu can't eat much fatty meat, but Gao Xiaosan and others still regard it as a treasure.

It's just that the ordnance war horse has been delayed, if Han Xu and the others can see the Di Bao, they can know that the first auxiliary Fang Congzhe of the Ming Dynasty had been sparse a month ago, saying that five of the six departments of the central center have no Zhengyin Hall officials, and the household department has delayed in many affairs because there is no Zhengyin Hall official, or it is perfunctory, at this time, the situation in Liaodong is serious, and it must not follow the matter like before, and after the sparseness, Shenzong will not report.

Fortunately, although Wanli has become a habit of neglecting the government, he still knows how powerful he is in Liaodong, after a delay, the center of the Ming Dynasty has rust and moved again, and the materials before the army are gradually allocated, and the new Xiong Tingbi has been appointed by the Liaodong Patrol, known for daring to do things and knowing the soldiers, Wanli appointed this person as the new manager of the strategy is also considered to be expected, in the words of the first auxiliary party from the philosopher: "Shu can curb its long-term momentum, and the side affairs can still be." This person is also known for his stinky temper, and when he heard that he was coming, Li Bingcheng and the others became nervous.

By the end of July, the news of the imperial court's dispatch of troops and horses came every day, Xiong Tingbi wrote "Jing Chen Zhan Shou Da Shu Da Shu", please transfer 180,000 border troops, 90,000 horses, and 324,000 taels of silver in military salaries, and distribute heavy troops in Qinghe, Fushun, Zhenjiang, Jinzhou, Fuzhou and other places, divide the land and defend it, contact the east and west, and divide and merge Qizheng to form the overall situation. There is no police to practice on the spot, the small police are blocking themselves, the big police support each other, select elite soldiers as rangers, catch sentinels in the intermittent time, pounce on zero horses, disturb farming and animal husbandry, and take turns to make them tired of running for their lives, and after a long time, Houjin will no longer worry.

He also used Li Huaixin as the new chief military officer of Liaodong, He Shixian as the general soldier of Shenyang, and transferred the chief soldier Chai Guozhu, Li Bingcheng, Zhu Wanliang and other sections to garrison the place of faith, in addition to the important towns of the nine borders, Gansu, Ningxia, Yansui, Xuanfu, Datong, as well as the Zhejiang soldiers, the Sichuan soldiers and other troops all went to Liaodong.

In order to motivate the hearts of the soldiers, the deputy generals Chen Ce and Zhu Wanliang were both promoted to the chief officers, and it is expected that although there will not be 180,000 main forces of the border army, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses can still be put together.
