Chapter 262: Final Test
Liu Ze of the printing workshop was not ready to stop working, in addition to the need to print more textbooks, Liu Ze decided to print all the four classics into a volume. The reason why papermaking and printing are included in the four great inventions is because they played an indispensable role in the spread of civilization, and the printing workshop will be even more useful in the future.
At the opening ceremony of the East Point Military Academy, Liu Ze and Lu Zhi jointly raised the school flag of the East Point Military Academy, announcing the official establishment of the East Point Military Academy.
As soon as the matter of the military academy came to an end, Pan Feng came to Liu Ze.
"My lord, Jin Yingwei also leads the duties of intelligence and guards, and the manpower is insufficient, so I beg the lord to order Jin Yingwei to expand some personnel."
Most of the five hundred Jinyingwei cultivated in the Phoenix Valley have been transferred to various branches in Kyushu, but the world is so big, it is indeed very difficult to collect intelligence with only these few hundred people, and the Jinyingwei General Administration takes into account the security and security work of Liu Ze, Lu Zhi, Jia Xu and other leaders, and the personnel transfer is already stretched, and the expansion is imminent.
Liu Ze nodded, agreed to Pan Feng's plan for the expansion of Jinyingwei, and told Pan Feng that the selection and allocation of Jinyingwei personnel should take into account ability and loyalty, and the loyalty of the entire team must be guaranteed.
Erhezi is a native of Leling County, Pingyuan County, and his ancestors have been authentic farmers for several generations, and he has always been farming for a living. Although Erhezi is only fourteen years old, he is not tall but he is very sturdy, and his biggest dream is to enlist in the army and become a soldier, if nothing else, to be in charge of the army. Erhezi's family has been tenants for generations, renting the landlord's land for a living, even if it is a good time. After the harvested grain was paid to the tax thieves of the government and the rent of the landlords, there was basically not much left, and after Erhezi grew up, he grew up with strength and the amount of food, but the two bowls of rice that were half dry every day never made him feel full. Hearing that there is not only enough food to eat in the army, but also a monthly salary, he has long been looking forward to enlisting in the army.
But the people from the conscription office told him that he could only be a soldier when he was over fifteen years old, which disappointed Erhezi. It just so happened that someone from the government came over in the past two days. Recruit children who are thirteen or fourteen years old. Ersunozi signed up with several partners from the same village.
The training on the team was very hard, and even a little inhuman, but Erkuro gritted his teeth and persevered, not for anything else. You can eat three meals a day here. It's not just about eating as much as you want. And there is meat in the ton. This has to be put on hold in the past, Ersunzi can't even think of it, and only those who celebrate the New Year will eat some meat in the family. And just like that, it can only be regarded as a plug between the teeth.
So Ersunoko worked hard to complete the training, and the instructor told them that if they wanted to stay here, they had to complete all the subject assessments. In order to be able to eat the fragrant stew, Erhezi went out, and in the first stage of training, he was always among the best.
Their training has always been carried out in a closed valley. On this day, it was just dark, and after a day's training, although he was half tired to death, it was also the happiest moment for Ersuni, and he ate four dishes and one soup deliciously.
But the taste of today's food was very strange, and Ersunoko only ate a few bites, and then he felt dizzy, and then he didn't wake up.
When he woke up again, Erhezi found that his hands were tightly tied by the rope, he couldn't help but be surprised, and after a few struggles, the rope was tied so strong that he couldn't break free at all. At the same time, he found himself in a dark cell, and several of his companions were treated the same as him, and they were all tied up.
They panicked, didn't know what was going on, and spent the night in a state of trepidation.
The next day, several masked people appeared in the dungeon, with yellow scarves on their heads and foreheads, and one of them said: "Liu Ze has killed countless of my yellow turban brothers, and today I will arrest you, dig out your hearts and abdomen, and pay tribute to the souls of my brothers in heaven!" ”
These people who were arrested were originally good people, and many of them trembled with fear after seeing this formation.
The leader of the Yellow Turban Thief took a bright steel knife, shook it in front of Erhezi's eyes, and said with a sneer: "Boy, if you are willing to surrender to our Yellow Turban Army, I can spare your life." ”
The training carried out during this period was not only physical training, but also the instructors trained them loyally, requiring them to treat death as if they were at home and never betray them. Erhezi doesn't understand loyalty or anything, but since Ersunzi joined the barracks, he can eat three meals a day, and he is naturally grateful to the lord, and now someone is coercing him to betray the lord, so naturally he will not agree.
Ersunoko snorted and ignored it. The Yellow Turban thief ignored him, and threatened him with knives one by one, and two cowardly ones begged for mercy and were willing to surrender, and were taken out of the dungeon.
The Yellow Turban Thief looked at the remaining dozen or so people, and laughed: "You are also from poor people, why do you have to work for those high-ranking officials and nobles?" As long as you are willing to join my Yellow Turban Army, I guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food in the future, ask for money and money, and ask for women and women! As he spoke, he waved his hand, and two of his men brought in a chest, which, when opened, shone brightly, and turned out to be a full box of gold.
Many people's eyes are straight, not to mention that they have so much money, or they have never even seen it.
The Yellow Turban Thief Leader laughed and said, "As long as you are willing to follow General Ben, all this money is yours!" ”
A few more people stood up and said in unison, "I do!" I do! "Ersunzi has a small hair, called Liangzi, who joined the army with Ersunozi this time, and also stood up.
Ersunozi said hurriedly: "Liangzi, don't go!" ”
Liangzi looked at Erheizi, then at the box of shining gold, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Brother Erhei, my family is poor, my father and mother are counting on me to take the money back, and I don't want to throw my life here." ”
Erhezi faintly felt that things were not so simple, but he couldn't say why, but he often remembered what his dead father taught him, he can't forget his roots, and the kindness of receiving a drop of water should be reciprocated with a spring, he knows that the lord Liu Taishou is a good official, playing yellow scarves, dividing the fields, and letting the people have a good life, such a good official can't betray anything for a little money.
"Liangzi, you can't betray the lord!"
Ryoko didn't say anything, and still stood behind the box of gold.
The leader of the yellow turban thief was obviously satisfied, looked at Erhezi, and approached: "Boy! Your mouth is very hard, what benefits did Liu Ze give you to make you so desperate? ”
Erhezi spat fiercely and said, "You yellow turban dog thieves, robbery and murder, do bad things, don't think that taking two stinky money will make the master succumb." "A few years ago, when the Yellow Turban soldiers invaded the plains, Erhezi saw them kill people and set fires, rape and adulterate women, and did all kinds of evil, his father and mother died in the hands of the Yellow Turban soldiers, when he was still young, he hid in the grass and escaped with his life, but the brutality of the Yellow Turban soldiers has always been fresh in his memory.
The leader of the yellow turban thief smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad, there is backbone!" But I just don't know if you're still just as tough after a while? Come on, take away! ”
The two Yellow Turban soldiers quickly dragged him to another cell, which was small but full of torture instruments and was eerie.
Erhezi was tied to a pillar, and the head of the yellow turban thief said gloomily: "Boy, there are eighteen kinds of torture here, enough for you to die eighteen times, if you are afraid, surrender obediently, this thing is not vegetarian!" ”
Ersunzi didn't suffer any hardships when he was young, and what is the suffering of skin and flesh? Bah said: "If you kill the master, the master will cry out for pain, and his surname will be yours!" ”
The leader of the yellow turban thief smiled coldly: "If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, and you will be punished!" ”
The whip dipped in cold water slapped on Erhezi's body fiercely, and there was a feeling that the skin was open, and it hurt to the heart, but Ersuniko still gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.
"I can't see that you really have a bit of backbone at a young age, but the taste of this leather whip is not pleasant, I advise you to lower it, it's not worth losing your life for those few coppers every month." The Yellow Turban Thief said with a gloomy smile.
Erhezi has been a tough temper since he was a child, and he couldn't pull back the two cows that he recognized as dead, staring at the head of the yellow turban thief, gritting his teeth and not saying a word.
"Well done! Keep fighting, I'll see how long he can last! ”
The whip rained down on Ersunozi's body, and soon he was completely skinless, covered in blood, his breath was weak, and he almost fainted.
"Boy, you ask you again, to descend or not to descend?" There was a hint of violence in the eyes of the Yellow Turban Thief.
Erhezi raised his head weakly, and said with a miserable smile: "You can dream......" Then, he didn't wake up.
When he woke up again, he found that he was lying in a bright room, and although the wounds on his body were still painful, they had already been dressed and bandaged, and even his clothes had been changed into new ones.
He was confused and didn't know where he was.
Standing next to the couch was his instructor, and there was also an officer, Erhezi, who vaguely remembered that he had lectured them on the first day of enlistment, and he should have a higher status than the instructor.
"I am Xiao Wolf, the commander of the Guardian Operations Department. Congratulations, pass guò for the final test! Welcome to join the Golden Eagle Guard! Xiao Wolf said to him with a smile.
"Eagleguard? Test? Erkuroko muttered to himself, he seemed to understand a lot, and he said hurriedly: "Sir, I have a brother named Ryoko, how is he?" ”
Xiao Wolf didn't answer him, but just smiled meaningfully and said: "The Golden Eagle Guard is a special force, with a special mission, if you join the Golden Eagle Guard, you may never see your relatives and friends again, are you still willing to join?" ”
Ersunoko's parents died in the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago, and there are no more relatives in the family.
"That'...... Can you eat enough every day? ”
Xiao Wolf and the instructor looked at each other and smiled, and said: "Of course, not only can you eat well, but you can also eat well, Jin Yingwei is the lord's personal guard unit, and the treatment is the highest in the whole army." ”
Futakuroko's gaze became unusually determined.
"I do!" (To be continued......)
