Chapter 266 The Last Applicant

Lu Xiufu reported a little dullly: "Your Majesty, as of yesterday, there are only five people who have signed up, in the bow horse test, one person did not meet the basic requirements, and the other four people successfully passed. ”

Although I had thought of the difficulty of recruiting generals in advance, I didn't expect that only five people signed up, and these five people didn't seem to be favored by Lu Xiufu.

The notice posted by the recruitment office only stated that the recruitment of senior generals of the Great Song Dynasty Royal Army was to be recruited, and if it was stated that it was to recruit such a high-level commander as a commander, it is estimated that even the person who signed up would not be seen.

I said helplessly: "After you finish the interview, submit the information of these people to me for review." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Later generations who like to read history and read stories know that in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a famous Yuejia army, and the fierce generals in the army were like clouds.

However, only a hundred years later, the army of the Song Dynasty withered like this,

"If there is no suitable general, you can only be selected from the generals of the original forbidden army first, ladies and gentlemen, what suggestions do you have."

"Your Majesty." Fan Wenhuan, the secretary of the military department, came out and said, "The minister has a book." ”

"Fan Aiqing, do you have any suggestions, please say."

"Your Majesty, there are many young generals among the generals of the forbidden army who followed General Xia Gui to Huainan West Road, and many of these people are still martial arts this year, and they have quite potential, so I think that they can be selected from them."

Lu Xiufu said: "The minister seconded the proposal, and Lord Fan's proposal is very good." ”

Listening to Fan Wenhuan say this, I also remembered that when the army was sent to Luzhou, I specially instructed the Ministry of War and the Privy Council to select more young generals for Xia Gui to bring, in order to exercise their actual combat ability, judging from the battle report sent back by Xia Gui, most of these young generals' performance is remarkable, especially the excellent performance of Shi Yuqi and Han Zhen who abandoned the martial arts in this issue, and they have been praised by Xia Gui, the most critical point is that they do not have the cowardice of most Song army generals.

"Fan Aiqing, this method is feasible, quasi-play, in the name of the Ministry of War, you ordered Xia Aiqing to make the Huainan West Road system pass the details of these young generals in this battle of Luzhou back to Lin'an, I will take a look first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fan Wenhuandao,

"Well, I think it's better to prepare for both, Fan Aiqing, Lu Aiqing, the Ministry of War and the Military Affairs Academy on the one hand do a good job of recommending the generals of the former Lin'an Forbidden Army, and on the other hand, wait for Xia Gui's performance, the Lin'an Theater and the Guangnan Theater need at least five commanders, which is quite a lot." I paused, "Besides, I'll go to the scene again to have a look, I hope to bring me a little surprise on this last day of general recruitment." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, your ministers obey."

"Retreat."

On the last day of the conscription, I took Fang Ling, Yuan Jian and Xiao Qi to the recruitment point near Tongle Building again, perhaps influenced by later TV series and novels, I think the most exciting scene should happen at the last moment,

In Lin'an in October, it has been cold, this said, the weather is gloomy, and it makes people feel a sense of cold, fortunately, my physical condition has changed a lot with the improvement of martial arts, and I don't feel very cold, we sat in an open tea shop next to the recruitment point, ordered a pot of tea and a few pastries, I still wore a mask, and Fang Ling and the other three people chatted over tea while watching the scene of the recruitment point,

Disappointingly, the situation on this last day was even worse than the earlier days, and there were very few people who came to consult, and no one signed up until the end of the day (3 o'clock in the afternoon).

Fang Ling saw that the soldiers at the recruitment point had already begun to pack up their things, and sighed and said, "Brother, it seems that no one is coming. ”

I nodded, a little discouraged: "Well, I hope the other two places have gained something, Xiao Qi, settle the bill, let's go." ”

"Master Jun, wait, I'll sign up."

"Brother, the time has come, and we have closed the registration deadline."

When we turned around and took two steps, we heard a voice from behind us,

"Hey, it's really the description in the book, and the highlights will only appear at the end." I said secretly,

"Master Jun, I, my eldest brother, my eldest brother is still in the inn because of the cold, can you be accommodating." We looked back and saw a big man in gray standing in front of the recruitment point, this big man was burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, about thirty years old, although he was poorly dressed, but he was also quite heroic.

"This brother, the army has its own military rules, and we don't dare to violate military orders, you think this is a dinner treat."

"The military order is like a mountain, this, I should do this, of course I understand, it's just that the matter is special, I still look at the military masters, the military masters will bear it, and I will take care of it." The big man stammered a little,

The junior colonel in charge said: "Brother, since you know that there are military orders in the army, don't make me wait. ”

The gray-clothed man thought about it, and seemed to feel that what this school official said was irrefutable, and he was stunned for a while before turning around and leaving in the opposite direction of us.

"Follow along."

The speed of that big man is extremely fast, but fortunately, I have practiced martial arts for a year, so I can keep up.

"You, who are you, why are you, follow a certain family."

Maybe we were following a little closer, and the big man suddenly paused and asked,

"This friend, are you here to apply?"

"Exactly, this father, son, what's the matter."

I smiled and said, "Friend, I saw that your registration was rejected, so I came to ask about your situation, if you really have the ability, I can help you talk to those soldiers." ”

"Ability." The down-and-out man said, "A certain family doesn't have much ability, but they have practiced martial arts since childhood, and dozens of people are difficult to get close." ”

"It turned out that he was a martial arts hero, so you should try the martial arts exam, how did you think of coming to sign up for the general."

"No, it's not me, it's for my brother, my brother came to report and sign up."

"yes, where is your brother now?"

"Childe, before my brother, I came to Lin'an to sign up, and I was caught by the wind chill while I was in a hurry, and now, I am lying in the inn."

"Oh, it turned out to be your brother, which means that your brother is very capable."

"That's right, my brother, my brother has been studying military books since he was a child, and of course he is very capable." The gray-clothed man looked with admiration when he talked about his brother,

"Okay, if your brother is really capable, then I have my own way to let him sign up."

"Really." The big man showed a hint of excitement,

I smiled and said, "Of course it's true, can you let me go and meet your brother." ”

The gray-clothed man looked at the four of us, and he didn't seem to be a bad person, plus his brother had nothing, so he didn't have to worry about being robbed at all, so he said: "Okay, son, we, we will live in the Binyue Inn not far from here." ”

Fang Ling said: "Binyue Inn, I know, go straight and turn the corner, and you will be there after two more streets." ”

"Let's go, then."

The big man said "En", took a big stride, and walked forward.

"The pace is solid, it shows that the lower plate is stable, and it is indeed a martial artist." Yuan Jian whispered in my ear as he walked,

Binyue Inn is very small and remote,

Although Fang Ling knew the general location of the inn, he didn't know that it was so difficult to find, we followed the big man left and right, and saw this inn called "Binyue" on a dilapidated path.

"Urban villages, shanty towns." I remembered the name of this kind of place in the big cities in later generations, and the so-called inn was no different from the ten-dollar shop, which was converted from a private house.

"Brother Zhang, your eldest brother is not in a good condition, I just called Dr. Lang Zhong, who is in the house, you can go and take a look." As soon as the innkeeper saw the gray-clothed man, he hurriedly said,

"Ahh The gray-clothed man panicked, and he didn't care about thanking the innkeeper, so he rushed directly into the innermost hut on the left side of the inn.

"Doctor Xie, what's wrong with my eldest brother?"

Lang Zhong, who was known as Doctor Xie, frowned and said: "Brother Zhang, your eldest brother's wind and cold are very serious, and you have been in a hurry and have not been given enough rest, so the situation is not good, if the old man judges well, your eldest brother is likely to hurt his spleen and lungs, and the old man's medical skills are powerless." ”

"What then, what to do."

"Brother Zhang, you better go and ask the famous doctor in Lin'an City to take a look."

"Famous doctor, where is it?"

"Not far from here, in the middle of the Heavenly Street, there is a Fahrenheit Medical Center, which is said to be opened by the descendants of the divine doctor Hua Tuo thousands of years ago, with superb medical skills, but it is just ,,,,,。" Xie Langzhong slurred,

"It's just something, what." Dahan Rush,

Xie Langzhong said: "The consultation fee of the Hua Medical Center is expensive, and it is not affordable for ordinary people. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's tied, even if it's tied, it's going to be tied up." The gray-clothed man said that, and wanted to turn around and go out,

I stretched out my hand and said, "Don't worry, friend, I know a person with excellent medical skills in Lin'an, and I can ask him to treat your eldest brother." ”

Xie Langzhong looked at me with a strange expression and said, "This son, the Hua's Medical Hall can be said to be the leading medical hall in Lin'an City, does the Gongzi know Langzhong who is more powerful than them." ”

"Oh, Xie Langzhong, my friend is called Zhou Hui, and he is the imperial doctor in the palace."

"Zhou Hui, could it be the medical master who broke the yin and yang with a golden needle, Mr. Zhou Hui Zhou, who is known as the first-class imperial doctor."

"The golden needle breaks the yin and yang." I didn't know that this Zhou Hui still had such a nickname, so I nodded and said, "It's this person." ”

Xie Langzhong said excitedly: "If it is Master Zhou, it is several times better than Fahrenheit." ”

I smiled and said, "Xiao Qi, you go immediately, just say that Gongzi Huyan invited Mr. Zhou to come here for consultation." ”

"Yes, Childe."

"Brother Zhang, your eldest brother should be safe now, this Mr. Zhou is one of the top medical masters in Lin'an City."
