In five days, more than ninety percent of the displaced people in Datong Mansion have all gathered outside Datong City.

In the face of the Shaanxi Judgment Army, which was constantly approaching Datong Mansion, the selection of troops had become a matter that the Wei Zheng had to start immediately.

Otherwise, so many displaced people who have no food or clothing will gather outside Datong City, and once they encounter war, it will turn into an unprecedented civil strife.

Wang Xiucai, who was pale because of hunger a few days ago, was very busy every day after entering the General Military Mansion. However, the busyness and generous treatment of the General Military Mansion not only made his face rosy, but also made his whole person a lot more refined.

Today, he is going to get rid of Zhang's affairs, and alone, with the cooperation of a few officers and men of the Tiger and Leopard Army, he will separately evaluate the 1,000 homeless people and young people, and select 500 recruits from among them.

Looking at the nervous homeless people in front of him, Wang Xiucai shouted with a smile: "Fellow villagers, before the selection begins, I will tell you two good news. ”

"First, those of you who have read books don't need to participate in the assessment, and go directly to the General Military Mansion."

"Second, those who have a craft, that is, have worked as blacksmiths and carpenters...... The craftsmen do not need to be assessed, they directly join the garrison of Datong Prefecture, eat food and get paid, and support their families. ”

"Now, the folks who belong to these two categories have come forward and reported directly to me."

After listening to what Wang Xiucai said, some people were excited, and some people were disappointed.

However, under Wang Xiucai's anxious waiting, there were still dozens of people, with hesitation and worry about the future, walked out of the crowd and came to Wang Xiucai.

After confirming that these people were all the 'talents' needed by the General Military Office, Wang Xiucai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, this is the first solo mission since he entered the General Military Palace. Wang Xiucai, who is full of expectations for his future in the General Military Mansion. I don't want to mess up my first mission.

"Platoon Commander Lee. These are all requested by the General Military Mansion, please send someone to the General Military Mansion immediately, where there is someone who is specifically responsible for receiving them......" Wang Xiucai said to the platoon commander of the Haw Par Army who cooperated with him.

After sending these talents, the selection of recruits begins......

Thousands of displaced people, under the supervision of more than a dozen tiger and leopard army cavalry, rushed forward along the official road.

In order to be able to be a soldier. Eat food and get paid, so that the family will no longer go hungry. Every homeless person is full of energy and wants to rush to the front.

Half an hour has passed, and there is basically not much gap between the thousands of homeless people who have cultivated for a few days.

Because, those who can travel long distances to Datong under such conditions of lack of food are all very strong and young without exception.

However, as time continued, thousands of displaced people who had just huddled together. Slowly the gap began to appear.

Some people with good stamina and still run forward at the same speed. Endurance is almost there. The pace of running slowed down.

An hour later, the 700 homeless people who ran at the front became the first candidates for the 500 recruits.

If you want to be a good soldier, a strong body is one aspect, and obedience and consciousness are another indispensable and important factor.

Therefore, the second assessment of the Haw Par Army is the military posture brought by Wei Zheng from later generations.

In the face of this kind of military posture, which seems to be not difficult at all on the surface, the faces of the seven hundred young men who have been crawling and rolling in the crops all year round showed a relaxed expression.

Unlike these relaxed expressions, dozens of Haw Par Army officers and soldiers showed a sneer on their faces. Because they have all stood in a military posture, they know how difficult it is to actually do this seemingly simple action.

"Stand up, keep your chest up, even if a mosquito crawls on your face, you can't move......"

"I don't care what your reason is, as long as you move, you will be out of the game immediately and lose the opportunity to be a soldier......"

"You, and you, your legs must be straightened, your waist must be straightened, your head raised, look ahead, and you are not allowed to shake left and right......"

In the middle of the phalanx composed of hundreds of people, dozens of soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army stared at a pair of sharp eyes, searching for the young man who might not be able to hold on. At the same time, he kept shouting out the essentials of various movements in his mouth to correct the irregular movements he saw.

As time passed, the relaxed expressions on everyone's faces that had just been over now had slowly disappeared. Not only that, beads of sweat the size of beans also began to flow down everyone's foreheads.

At this time, many people had a heartfelt expression of pain on their faces.

And now, it is the best time to test a person's endurance, execution, and consciousness.

In the dense crowd, some unconsciously homeless people thought that no one was looking at them, and wanted to play a trick and move their already stiff legs.

However, he was disappointed......

As soon as his legs moved, a roar sounded behind him.

"You, your legs are moving. According to the rules, you are now eliminated and can be out......"

The face that was about to play clever just now, after hearing this, a face suddenly turned from embarrassment to despair. Then, with an unyielding face, he pleaded to the soldiers of the Haw Par Army behind him.

"Master Jun, just spare me, my legs really can't help it...... I promise, I won't dare next time......"

"Master Jun, please, I still have a wife and children to support, and they are all waiting for me to become a soldier, and then take the military salary to buy food for them...... Please, just give me another chance......"

Facing the other party's eager gaze, although the Tiger and Leopard Army soldier couldn't bear it, he still continued to order with a tough face: "No, rules are rules...... If you want to be a soldier, the first thing you have to learn to do is to follow the rules. Otherwise, even if you become a soldier, you won't be able to be a soldier for too long......"

"Besides, if you can't be a soldier, you can still be a soldier. Although the salary is not as high as that of a soldier, it is still no problem to keep your family from going hungry......"

"You have to believe that as long as our chief soldier is in Datong Mansion for a day, we won't let everyone go hungry......"

"Get out of the game right away and carry out the order. Otherwise, you won't even be able to be tomorrow's garrison......"

"Alas......" After a sigh full of regret and helplessness came out of Qingzhuang's mouth, he who was already weak in his legs, could only leave the military formation with a face full of helplessness and regret, under the gaze of a pair of sympathetic eyes.

And in the blink of an eye, at least fifty young men who wanted to play clever were cleared out of the military formation.

The rest of the Bai Qingzhuang saw that the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army patrolling around him really did what they said, and immediately put away the careful thoughts that had just sprung up in their hearts. Resisting the numbness and exhaustion that kept coming from all over his body, the ninja continued to stand in place, motionless.

For these first-time military stances, half an hour is their limit.

Although they endured it and did not move, their legs, which had become numb, gradually began to disobey the call.

Soon, some young people collapsed to the ground because they couldn't hold on. Of course, there are also people who really feel the difficulty of standing in a military posture and give up the assessment directly. I would rather join the cantonment soldiers with scarce food and pay than the soldiers who suffer so much every day.

As a result, just half an hour later, there were less than five hundred young people left on the field.

And these people are one of the recruits of the Datong Mansion garrison expansion.

Looking at the five hundred recruits in front of him who had gone through two assessments, although he looked tired, there was a hot gaze in his eyes. Wang Xiucai climbed onto a table in front of everyone. Then, under the gaze of everyone, he shouted loudly......

"Folks...... No, from now on, I'm going to call all the soldiers. Because, from today onwards, you will be a member of my Datong Mansion garrison. Now, on behalf of the Chief Soldier, I would like to fulfill to you one of his promises made on the recruitment notice. ”

"All the recruits who have passed the guò assessment and joined the garrison of Datong Province can get a settling-in allowance for everyone to be compensated by the chief soldier himself. A total of ten taels of silver and fifty catties of grain. ”

"The Chief Soldier hopes that after you get this settling-in allowance that is enough for your family to last until the first month's salary payment day, you can train in the barracks without any worries, form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and serve the Chief Soldier."

"Because, the food and salary that we are about to send to you, including your monthly salary in the future, are distributed to everyone by the general soldier with the private money he earns, and the imperial court has not given you a tael of silver or a grain of grain."

Speaking of this, Wang Daoguang said directly to the soldiers of the Haw Par Army standing on the field beside him: "Please take out the food and salary prepared by the chief soldier for everyone." Let everyone go home with food and salary, and then enter the army with confidence, train well, serve the chief soldier, and repay the kindness......"

A large box full of silver, and more than 20 carts full of grain......

After appearing in front of everyone, the shock to these homeless people who have been living on the line of life and death is absolutely unprecedented.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were getting hotter and hotter looking at the grain and silver, there was a kind of posture of directly rushing over. Wang Xiucai said at the right time: "All the soldiers of the Haw Par Army, you can start ......"

Five hundred young and middle-aged people, taking the team as a unit, took turns to walk in front of the grain truck. When they returned to their positions, everyone carried in their hands a silver weighing ten taels and a bag of fifty catties of grain from Wang Daoguang.

Not only that, but when everyone was given food and silver, Wang Daoguang and a group of soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army would say such a sentence.

"This is the salary given to everyone by the Chief Soldier, from now on, you must serve the Chief Soldier well and die for the Chief Soldier."

As for the imperial court, it was automatically ignored by Wang Daoguang and the soldiers of the Haw Par Army.

And this, on a certain course, let the five hundred recruits in front of them only recognize the general guard in the future training, and do not recognize the imperial court ....... far away in the capital (to be continued......
