Chapter 54: The Recruitment Ends

For three days in a row, Wen Chou led people to repair many passes, houses, school yards and other buildings in Taolinsai, and at the same time ordered people to recruit soldiers, but he was busy with the soles of his feet.

In other words, this position of lieutenant is not easy to come by, if it weren't for his great achievement, and his family has been in the army for generations, and he has a lot of fame here in Changshan, it is Taolinsai reset, how can it not be his turn to become the master of this stinky boy, it is really rampant thieves, the empire has relaxed military control, and Xiangguo is also in urgent need of employment, so that Wen Chou can get this advantage! He cherished it.

Three days have passed, and there are many villagers who have come to apply, but after various assessments, there are not many who can be left in the end.

The most passed the strength assessment, a total of 553 people, of which there were 78 excellent people, and only two people carried 300 catties of stone locks, one was the strong man on the first day, and the other was a short and concise person. These more than 500 people are not part of Wen Chou's favorite, in the era of cold weapons, the battle between ordinary soldiers and soldiers, often one force to ten meetings, the strength of the strong, the possession of a great advantage, and the strength of the general patience is also strong, the ability to continue the battle is very high.

Compared with strength, horsemanship, martial arts, and archery are small heads. two are skilled in riding, and eighty-five are acceptable; There are 10 people with excellent martial arts and 41 people who have passed the test; Fewer marksmanship, thirty-three in all. Among them, dozens of people have passed more than one assessment.

In total, a total of 631 soldiers were recruited this time. This does not include Liu Zhong and other light heroes, as well as Wen Ba and other Wen clan members.

Wen Chou listened to the reports of everyone in the hall in the official temple one by one, and said: "Six hundred and thirty-one people, if you count the Qingxia and Wen's descendants, you will definitely be able to make up the number of seven hundred." "Wen clansmen, as the patriarch, he can call on him to join the army, even if he doesn't mention it, in terms of the Wen family's fashion of serving in the army for generations, there is no problem, but whether the light heroes in the township are willing to join the army, he Wen Chou can't be forced, after all, the light heroes advocate chivalry, freedom, and do not abide by laws and regulations. After a pause, he asked Liu Zhong, "I just don't know what you mean, Brother Liu?" ”

"Recently, when recruiting soldiers, because of my admiration for Wenjun's name, there were many light chivalrous people who wanted to serve, but I didn't know what Wenjun meant, and I didn't agree." Liu Zhong spoke.

"Oh, why don't you say yes?" Wen Chou was surprised.

"Light heroes are more than bound by the law." Liu Zhong only said this, and Wen Chou immediately understood that Liu Zhong was worried that after these light heroes joined the army, they would disobey discipline and cause trouble.

"It's okay, but those who serve in the army must be bound by military regulations, and this should be made clear to the public. If you have to apply, I will welcome you! Wen Chou pondered for a moment and said.

"Big brother, this recruitment is finished and the recruitment is completed, why do you want to start training?" Yan Liang asked excitedly while rubbing his hands.

"Oh, it will take some time for this matter to be completed, firstly, many houses in Taolinsai have not yet been repaired, secondly, many homeless people have not yet settled down, and thirdly, the military regulations have not yet been agreed. These are all problems! Wen Chou frowned. He didn't want to let these soldiers enter the training state as soon as possible, after all, the earlier he trained, the sooner he could have combat effectiveness.

"Ugh." When Yan Liang heard this, he immediately sighed.

"And the military uniform thing, it hasn't been completely done yet, right?" Dong Jiang took the opportunity to say.

"This is not in a hurry, fortunately, there are still more than 1,000 knives, but there is an urgent shortage of bows, crossbows, armor, and horses." Wen Scandal said.

"Crossbows, armor, and horses are all valuables, and we are only from a country, so how many can we have?" Liu Zhong complained.

……

Everyone discussed again, and it took a long time to go.

The Japanese article summarized the affairs of recent times, and there were many feelings. I thought to myself: "What a penny is hard to beat a hero!" Grass to create a foundation, money and food first! Without the supply of money and food from the wealthy family, whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, it is difficult to move an inch! I also complained that in history, Yuan Shao knew that the Hebei Shi clan was attacking each other, and he didn't want to move them, but he couldn't move it, alas, the national situation is like this, the Shi clan is full of heroes, how can the empire not die? Of course, it's just Wen Chou's personal thoughts, and outsiders don't know about it.

……

The next day, early in the morning, Wen Chou got up and rushed to the Chen shed. In recent days, there have been many things disturbing my heart, and I thought to myself, after all, one person is short in wisdom and everyone is long in wisdom, but most of his side are Yan Liang, Wenba and the like, and the good points are not great talents like Dong Jiang and Wang Chong, and the wisdom is not long! is to find Jiang Cheng to solve one or two doubts, which Wen Chou thought about yesterday.

Here Wen Chou wanted to go to the Chen shed to find Jiang Cheng to ask for a lesson or two, but Jiang Cheng's home was a different scene.

"Zhiming, these days, have you settled down at home?" Jiang Cheng knelt on the seat and asked Chen Ningdao who was bowing down with concern.

"Mr. Hui's words, since I resigned from the prison gate some time ago, I have been busy with wheat and millet seeds, and I have free time today, so I will come to pay my respects to Mr." Chen Ning said respectfully.

"I suggested that you visit Wenjun, how did you think about it?" Jiang Chengxiao asked.

"I heard that Wen Jun has newly obtained the military rank of Taolin Lieutenant, and he was busy recruiting soldiers in the township a few days ago, and he finished yesterday, so the students are going to visit in the afternoon." Chen Ning said.

"Well, speaking of Wen Jun's new position as Captain of Taolin, what do you think about this?" Jiang Chengwen said.

"As Mr. said before, Wen Jun is loyal and brave, brave and wise, and has been in the army for generations, and has a slight reputation in the county, so he is the best choice for this position, and he has rank in his hometown, and cherishes the people's strength, so far, he will be more loved by the villagers." Chen Ning thought for a while.

"Well, what Zhi Ming said does make sense." Jiang Chengyan nodded in agreement when he heard this. Then he said to Zhang Chi, who was kneeling beside Chen Ning: "Tengyun, what do you think? ”

"Looking at what Wenjun has done in recent days, Ruo'an is a homeless person, a fake millet seed, a soldier is recruited, and a ditch is indeed not the traitor I said that day. If he can take charge of this part of the army, report to the court, and go down to the people, he should be a hero. It's just ......," Zhang Chi said.

"Just what?" Jiang Cheng said.

"It's just that I heard that the county has not paid salaries, soldiers and armor, and other things, only a paper of appointment! In this case, where will the money and food for the army come from? Zhang Chi said worriedly.

"I heard that the preferential treatment of its recruiting soldiers is even worse than that of the county soldiers, but I don't know how long it will last?" About thirty years later, the scholar in a robe said.

"What do you think?" Jiang Cheng didn't express an opinion, only put down the wooden bowl containing the pulp in his hand, looked up and asked.

"Wenjun is both civil and military, once said that he wanted to hide his wealth from the people, and now he has recruited troops on a large scale, and he should have a wonderful solution, but he doesn't hear it, 'people have no faith, and they don't stand', I think he will not lose his trust in the people, why should I worry about it?" Chen Ning was silent for a moment and smiled.

"Hehe, Zhi Ming can't say why, do you want to fool me with this?" Zhang Chi smiled at Chen Ningyan and said.

"What I say, every sentence from the bottom of my heart, how can I fool it?" Chen Ning said solemnly.

"In this way, do you think Wen Jun must have a wonderful way to solve this problem and get through this difficulty?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"Exactly, Guan Wenjun acts, whether it is the official temple debate, the Taolin ambush, or the invasion of the thief camp and the extermination of the Lin family, it is not a plan and then act, and this time is no exception." Chen Ning affirmed.

"Alas, it only has the surface, but not the inside, it's far from it!" Jiang Cheng sighed and said.

While talking, he suddenly heard Jiang Cheng sigh, and when he said this, he said, "Please Mr. Explain your doubts." ”

"Alas, it's not Wen Jun who plans and then moves, it's the first move and then the plan! You can't wait, Wen Jun Ding Wei has just passed, and he was recruited by Du Jun before he was born, this is one of them; was ambushed and defeated, and there were twenty horsemen who broke into the thief camp, this is the second; In the thief camp to meet Lin Qing, there was a move to destroy the Lin family, this is the third; I won't repeat the others for the time being, which of these three is not Wen Jun who was forced to take the throne? Jiang Chenglu took a sip and said slowly.

"Forced to take the position?" Zhang Chi, Chen Ning and others muttered contemplatively when they heard this. Jiang Cheng didn't say much when he saw this, and just waited for the disciples to think about the results for themselves. The master leads the way in, and the cultivation is in the individual, nothing more than that. Those who educate people should not be imposed!
