"You are soldiers, have you ever thought that one day you will be a general." Qin Duan asked.

"General?"

The soldiers below are a little dumbfounded, these soldiers are poor people who can't read big characters, and it is already the biggest dream to be able to eat enough and marry a daughter-in-law, where they dare to think about being a general.

"Why didn't you think that one day, you would become a general, don't you think it's impossible?" Qin Duan asked.

The soldiers below, looking at each other, didn't know what to say, after all, in their eyes, the position of general was too far away from them.

"I am here to tell you, as long as you follow me to the northwest, you will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, you have the possibility of becoming a general, a soldier who does not want to be a general, is not a good soldier, do you want to be a general." Qin Duan shouted loudly to the soldiers below.

"Yes."

There was a burst of shouting from below.

"Okay, warriors who want to be generals, you go out of the ranks, follow me to the northwest to make meritorious contributions, soldiers, in front of you, the general's position is waiting for you, and the beautiful daughter-in-law is waiting for you......"

Decades later, Li Daring and Ding Daniu, who were already four-star generals of the Chinese Empire, recalled the first time they met His Majesty, and said that they were conquered by His Majesty's charm in this way. ”

The more than 100 soldiers who followed His Majesty to the northwest that year, except for those who died in the early battle, later became generals and married beautiful daughters-in-law, and His Majesty also fulfilled his original promise to everyone.

"My lord, I am willing to go to the northwest with you."

"My lord, I do."

"When a man dies on the battlefield, I am willing to follow the adult to the northwest."

……

More and more people began to respond to Qin Dui's call and were willing to follow Qin Dui to the northwest, and Li Yongzhen secretly gave Qin Dui a thumbs up, indicating that Qin Dui's method had been successful.

Qin Duan also made a gesture to Gonggong Li, looked at these soldiers, his face was stern, and said: "If you are selected, you will never have a chance to regret it, otherwise you will be dealt with as an escape in the battlefield, you have all thought about it!" ”

The sergeants below all glanced at each other, and no one hesitated, and one of the sergeants stood up and said, "My lord, you dare to go, we people naturally have nothing to say!" ”

Below is Ying He's voice, Qin Dui's expression also became relaxed, this trip to the northwest, no one can predict what will happen, whether it is the attitude of those local warlords in the northwest, the horse thieves in the northwest, or even the ambitions of some people in Tokugawa County that Qin Duan does not know now, these are all unknowns, and he urgently needs a strong army to support his confidence in this trip.

After looking at the thousands of soldiers below, Qin Duan had a headache, after all, this time the emperor only gave himself ten non-commissioned officers and a hundred soldiers, this is really not a good choice, Qin Duan looked at Wu Dalong a little helplessly, after all, these are all his soldiers, and now in this situation, it is not easy for him to speak.

Wu Dalong did not hesitate, came to the school field, and said loudly: "This trip needs a total of one hundred people, Lord Qin has some things, I didn't explain it to you, this time you went out from the city guards, and you will no longer be in the establishment of the city guards in the future, but in the personal army of Lord Qin, so it is not so simple to go, now give each of you ten arrows, shoot targets on the horse, as long as you shoot more than eight, you can be qualified to go to the northwest with Lord Qin!" ”

Under the command of several commanders under Wu Dalong, the soldiers of the entire military camp began to take the exam, because the quality of these soldiers was directly related to their own net worth, so Qin Duan stood in the school field and watched everyone compete.

Because they were divided into several parts of the competition, one hundred and ten soldiers were selected in a period of more than an hour, and even the sergeants were to participate in this competition.

"Lord Qin, this is the hundred or so soldiers selected, and a few of them are non-commissioned officers." Wu Dalong pointed to the hundred or so soldiers who had been selected.

"Okay, thank you, General Wu."

Qin Duan said gratefully, after all, no matter what, the general of the West Battalion of the City Guard Army did not embarrass himself, and the selection of soldiers was very fair and just.

"Lord Qin is polite, everyone is doing things for the imperial court, especially Lord Qin risking his life to go to the northwest for the sake of stability in the northwest of the empire, which is worthy of the admiration of someone Wu." Wu Dalong said.

"Master Wu, you have an overreputation."

Qin Dui said a little embarrassedly, if it weren't for the emperor's order, Qin Dui wouldn't have gone to that place in the northwest to take risks, you must know that Qin Dui's original dream was just a hot kang for his wife and children.

"Lord Qin, say a few words!" Wu Dalong said to Qin Duan.

Qin Du nodded, came to the front, glanced at the soldiers standing neatly, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, the soldiers of our Great Qin Empire are all good men with blood, but I still put the ugly words ahead, this time I went to the northwest, I am the same as you are nine deaths, if you don't have the heart of death, just want to mix military merits or a daughter-in-law, I still advise you to quit, so as not to lose your life." ”

After Qin Duan finished speaking, he stood quietly in the center of the school field and looked at the hundred or so soldiers, the time of a stick of incense passed, and still no one left the team.

"I repeat, if it's too late to quit now, after this opportunity, you won't have a choice, otherwise you will be dealt with by military law."

Qin Duan looked at the soldiers below with satisfaction and said, these hundred soldiers are still very satisfied whether they look at it from Su zhì or from the mental outlook, these are all elite soldiers.

The soldiers below still stood quietly, and no one wanted to quit.

"Very good, there are non-commissioned officers standing in front." After half the incense time, Qin Duan saw that no one had withdrawn, so he spoke.

Soon in the team, five soldiers came out, and Li Daring just now was one of them.

"Are there any non-commissioned officers?"

Qin Dui asked, after all, there are only five non-commissioned officers, which is too little, Qin Dui is also going to select some refugees from the refugees outside the city to be soldiers, if there are not enough non-commissioned officers, it will be very troublesome.

"My lord, is the Captain of Ten a non-commissioned officer?"

Ding Da Niu asked, this Ding Da Niu is a ten-captain, but the ten-master is very low-level in the army, basically the same as a soldier, just in charge of ten people, and the military salary is a little higher.

"Of course, don't say it's the ten-captain, it's that the captain is a non-commissioned officer, and both the ten-captain and the captain are out." Qin Duan said, there is no way now, the best way to pick the big one among the small ones.

Soon, twenty soldiers came out from the hundred-person team, these people were all ten captains and captains of the woods, plus the five non-commissioned officers who came out of the front, there were twenty-five non-commissioned officers among the one hundred and ten soldiers in Qin Duan.

"Lord Qin, the Ministry of War has explained, let you select ten non-commissioned officers, this is still five short, or I will help you find some more."

Wu Dalong said that in the officer system of the Great Qin Empire, the lowest-ranking Wu Fu Commander, Ten Captain, and even Wu Shi Chang are not officially recognized as non-commissioned officers.

The official position of the military attache system of the army of the Great Qin Dynasty (the military attache system mentioned here only refers to the purely military aspect, and does not include other military attache systems such as Jinyiwei and Dongchang).

If you list it from the largest to the smallest, the highest is the Governor-General, the Mighty General of Military Affairs, and the Chief Officer; second, the Governor; third, the Governor; Fourth, Admiralty; fifth, the general army; Sixth, adjutant general; Seventh, the general; eighth, guerrilla; ninth, the commander; Tenth, command the servants; eleventh, garrison; Twelfth, deputy garrison; the thirteenth, the thousand general (thousand commanders); Fourteenth, vice president. Fifteenth, put the total (centurion).

The latter is the basic one who does not enter the stream is the sixteenth, the deputy general (Wu Shichang); Seventeenth, the general flag (ten captains); Eighteenth, small flag (Captain Wufu).

"All officers report their names, ages, positions, and enlistment times, and they should report them according to their rank."

Qin Dui said to the twenty-five people, after all, these twenty-five people are the backbone of his future army, Qin Dui now wants to have a general understanding of them.

"Liang Qiming, the commander of the West Battalion of the City Guard Army (Thousand Commanders), has been in the army for 20 years."

A middle-aged officer who looked very strong and was almost forty years old said that he was the highest-ranking officer among Qin Du's hundred or so soldiers.

Qin Duan was really a little surprised that there was a commander in his team, after all, Mr. Qian, that is, the commander of a thousand soldiers, literally knew that he was a military attache in charge of more than a thousand soldiers, and he was barely a middle-level cadre in the army, but he didn't expect that he was willing to join his own army with only a hundred people, and he could die in the northwest at any time, in Qin Dui's opinion, this Liang Qiming must have some secrets that he didn't know.

"Zhu Yongqing, thirty-eight years old, deputy general manager of the West Battalion of the City Guard Army, has been in the army for 18 years."

"Li Daring, thirty-five years old, centurion of the West Battalion of the City Guard, enlisted in the army for fifteen years."

"Liu Xiaoshan, thirty-one years old, centurion of the West Battalion of the City Guard, enlisted in the army for fourteen years."

"Ma Ziyun, twenty-nine years old, centurion of the West Battalion of the City Guard, enlisted in the army for fifteen years."

"Deng Dashan, thirty-one years old, deputy general of the West Battalion of the City Guard, has been in the army for eleven years."

"Mi Dahuan, thirty-two, deputy general of the West Battalion of the City Guard, has been in the army for ten years."

……

"Ding Da Niu, twenty-nine years old, the captain of the West Battalion of the City Guard, has been in the army for eight years."

In the time of a stick of incense, the twenty-five officers all introduced themselves, basically all of them were veterans who had been in the army for more than ten years, and looking at their appearance, they were all veterans who had been on the battlefield and killed people.
