The number given to each village is sixty, which is indeed a little less. There are 2,000 people in a village, and nearly half of the people are young and strong, and only 60 people are selected from the hundreds of people, which is already a very low probability. The first batch of those who are eligible to sign up are basically the eldest sons in every family. Forty-five people were able to pass through 376 people, and the rate of access was only 12 percent, so it was no wonder that the village chief of Zhou Da, who was not clear about the situation, was angry. In fact, what he didn't know was that the situation of other village chiefs was like this, and the situation of many villages was even worse, only seven or eight percent of the first round of Tongguò was not as good as Shangshui Village. This second round of selection, and then from another batch of young and strong selection, the previous assessment will not have a chance.

"Actually, I'm not very satisfied with today's table, but Captain Wang said, your table is already very good, so I won't say anything. Tomorrow, one more person from each household will come to participate in the assessment, and the previous elimination will be counted. The content of the assessment is the same as it is today. Therefore, from now on, you big guys, it is best to start recuperating and perform well tomorrow. You know, tomorrow's selection will be more fierce than today's, and there are only fifteen places left. But don't be too nervous, eat and drink well, relax in a good mood, and participate in the assessment in the best state. Now, I would like to invite Captain Wang to speak!"

After a round of applause, Captain Wang stood next to the village chief Zhou Da. Looking at these dozens of gang mates, although the average age is only eighteen or nineteen years old, this body is even better than before. I remember when they first participated in military training. The table is basically miserable. But they were all sergeants by then. It took a long time of training to show that he had a good appearance. "I officially elect to announce, forty-five of you, and now you are an official soldier!"

"You will all be part of the cavalry division of the Mawei Army, and the specific assignment depends on your training in the next two months. The good thing is that the top soldiers of the entire army are the ones who are noticed by everyone, and if they are lucky, they are valued by the prince or the generals. If you choose to be a personal guard, you will be developed. If the table is not good, it is normal to be kicked out of the barracks directly. I don't think you want to be driven back by the dust! Although Captain Wang had a smile on his face, these few words made everyone below feel terrified, this is not the end of the test now, and there will be training later. No one is afraid of this hardship, he must be a good person, if he is really driven out of the barracks, it will really be faceless!"

"But don't worry too much, as long as you're willing to work hard. If nothing else, there is no problem in passing the level. Now let me talk about the treatment in our army. Every soldier will receive a salary of two taels of silver per month! ”

"Each of you will be rewarded with ten acres of military land! Although the military field is far away, it can be rented out to others for farming. They are all watered with good water. ”

"In the future, all those who have made meritorious contributions in combat can be promoted and rewarded by virtue of their military exploits. For example, I used to be just an ordinary soldier like you now, but I killed six enemies in two battles and was promoted to squadron leader. According to the rules of the army, one person who kills the enemy will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and three enemies will be promoted to one level. At my standard, the monthly salary is five taels, and there is a subsidy at the end of the year. Haha, if you want to glorify your ancestors, you must be willing to sweat and not be afraid of death when you go into battle! Of course, when the time comes for you to defend your homeland, you have to do it even if you are afraid of death! Are you afraid of death? ”

"Don't be afraid!"

"Don't be afraid!"

Although there were only forty-five people below, shouting in unison was quite imposing. At this time, of course, we must show the heroism of xiàn, who will admit that they are afraid of death? The purpose of Captain Wang's question is to improve their fighting spirit.

"Well, the prince said that he would not treat anyone who followed him badly. Joining the army is not only good for yourself, but also good for your family. A while ago, you must have all known some of the preferential treatment policies for military dependents, and those are true, and it won't be long before the Governor's Mansion will set up special military dependents stores in various towns, such as daily necessities, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and cloth, etc., all of which are two to three percent lower than the market price. Think about it, the prince treats you so well, if you don't train hard at that time, you will really be sorry for your conscience! ”

"I'm done now, now, come up and get your uniforms in order!" The uniforms of 10,000 people had been prepared long before Geng Jingzhong decided to form a cavalry corps. There are more than 60,000 horsetail troops, each of whom has several sets of military uniforms every year, all seasons. However, there is only one set of dresses and the like, which will only be worn during military parades in the future, and ordinary clothes are the most worn out in training uniforms. The army insists on daily training and never stops, but the intensity of training is not as hard as when training recruits. However, if it is a spearhead unit, such as the Guards Battalion, the training has always been very hard. As a result, the amount of wear and tear of the troops' training uniforms is relatively large. Geng Jingzhong and Li Guangdi both knew that they would have to recruit troops in the future, so they had already prepared all kinds of military uniforms and stored them in the zài warehouse, and Geng Jingzhong brought them together when he came over last time.

There are 60 people in each village, so 60 sets of summer clothes are prepared, and there are all kinds of clothes, hats, shoes and socks. The reason why only one set was given to the recruits was because the rest would be issued when they arrived in the barracks, and the rest of the uniforms were not for them to wear at home. Captain Wang had already prepared the things and stacked them neatly on the table, and he was going to personally distribute them to each new soldier. He stood in front of the long table, taking the roll call one by one.

"Chow Tai Jin!" The first name he called was Zhou Dajin, who made him the best in the test just now, such a good seedling, everyone likes it.

Zhou Dajin hurriedly ran forward and saluted Captain Wang, a trick he also learned from the previous examiners, that is, those temporary policemen.

"Yes, good job!" Captain Wang looked at Dajin's salute, although it was not standard, but it did show that he was smart enough! So he said encouragingly.

"I'll do a good job!" Zhou Dajin was obviously a little overexcited, and even his tone changed a little. Zhou Wu, the big golden father not far away, was also quite excited, and so was Zhou Wen. But Erjin was holding his breath. There will be an assessment tomorrow. In other words, I will have a chance tomorrow. But Sanjin, who was only seventeen years old next to him, was not happy. Tomorrow's selection will not have his share, and he will not even be qualified to participate. Just before today's assessment, Uncle Zhou Wen had already explained to them that even if they didn't recruit all of them today, they could recruit them tomorrow, so at most two gold medals would have a chance, and three gold would be counted. And even if there is another one, the three golds still can't participate. According to the regulations, each family must have a son to stay and take care of the family, that is, the only son cannot participate in the selection, and those with two sons can only go to one. This one is also quite humane.

Zhou Dajin is the most dazzling among the recruits today, and the eyes of dozens of people below and hundreds of people on the periphery are staring at him! At this moment, Zhou Dajin felt that his brain was obviously a little dizzy. Especially those young adults in the periphery who failed to pass the assessment and those who did not participate in the assessment are even more envious.

"Liu Ergou!" Another recruit ran forward, and Zhou Dajin took his military uniform and returned to his original position.

"Sun Qianhao!"

"Hey. Here it comes! "The young man named was young, only seventeen years old. But the result is third, and the body is strong when you are small. When he heard his name, he immediately answered and ran forward.

"Hahahaha!" There was a burst of laughter all around.

"Good job, come on!"

One by one, the recruits stepped forward and returned to their places in their uniforms. At this time, Captain Wang found that several recruits couldn't wait to put their clothes on, and he couldn't help crying and laughing. These recruits are indeed anxious, they have long seen the military uniform of the Mawei Army, wearing it on the body is called a spirit, mighty, after receiving the brand new military uniform, they ignore the eyes of others, immediately take off their own clothes, and can't wait to change into military uniforms. However, it was Zhou Dajin who took the lead just now, and Captain Wang kept the roll call without paying attention to the following actions, thinking that they were chatting.

Captain Wang stopped angrily and amusedly and said, "That, won't you guys change after you go home?" Tomorrow morning, the second assessment is over, and we will leave for the barracks in the afternoon, and then we will leave together in military uniforms. But now you see, the sweat on each of your bodies has not dried, so you put on your clothes, and let this new military uniform be full of the smell of sweat on your body! Go home and change again! ”

The few people who had just received their clothes, as well as those who had not yet put on their clothes, or those who had just worn half of them, immediately stopped. Most of those who have already put on their new military uniforms immediately take off their new military uniforms and change into their original clothes again. The clothes on their original bodies can be regarded as the clothes they handed over, after all, they were still in rags half a year ago. As a result, the original best clothes on my body are awkward no matter how I look at them now, and I don't want to continue to wear them back on. Well, then don't wear it at all, and a few people are really shirtless. Anyway, the temperature on Luzon Island in February has always been 278 degrees, and it is common to be bare-chested.

Captain Wang is quite satisfied with today's assessment, although these recruits are not very old, they are all good seedlings, and if they train hard, they are the new elite of the Mawei Army.

"Let's go back and prepare!"

The assessment was over, and all the military uniforms were distributed, and Captain Wang directly spit out these words that the recruits had been waiting for for a long time. They hurried back to their families to report the good news to their fathers and brothers. Many of them ran and shouted, "Daddy, I'm guò!" Haha, I'm guò! ”

One of them, still holding a newly issued military uniform and military shoes in his hand, didn't pay attention to his feet when he ran, and accidentally fell to the ground with a bang, which immediately caused everyone to laugh.

This was a scene that played out in every village, and the selection lasted for two days, and on the afternoon of the end of the selection, all the recruits began to gather in the towns and then rush to the barracks. The barracks of the cavalry division are in the northwest of Xinhubei County, close to the military horse farm. The terrain here is open, and there are mountains and forests in the north and south, which is a good place for training. Recruits selected from several towns in the northernmost Xinbeihu County rushed to the new military camp in the afternoon of the same day, while Xinhenan County, which was far away, had to rest for the night in the towns of Xinbeihu County.

After all the recruits arrived, Bai Xianzhong, who had been here for half a month, officially announced in front of the new army that the cavalry division was officially established! (To be continued......)
