Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Running with weights is not so simple, it is a big test of physical fitness and perseverance, and Gu Zhenhua specially arranged for two people to cooperate, which is to test the spirit of teamwork, and even when running, you can see a person's character.

Of the more than 1,300 people, only more than 700 were completed, and all the others were eliminated and could only go home with salt.

"Get me out!" Hu Shan pulled out a few panting guys from the team, and said coldly: "Go, get the salt, hurry up." ”

"Master Jun, what kind of truth is this, the villains are all done, you see that many of them have fallen down, proving that my body is better than them."

"Phew!" Hu Shan sneered: "Don't think grandpa didn't see it, when carrying the stake, you take the light and dodge the heavy weight, so that your teammates can carry it longer." You opportunistic and slippery guys, when you get to the battlefield, you won't sell your brother, hurry up and get out of me! ”

When he saw that Xiao Ming was recognized by Hu Shan, he could only hang his head and honestly take the salt and leave.

At this time, Gu Zhenhua also came to Kang Dali's side who finished running at the end, this young man is not tall, but he is exceptionally strong, his arms are about to catch up with other people's legs, thick eyebrows, big eyes, thick lips, and a simple and upright face, at first glance, he is a piece of material for being a soldier.

A wooden stake, nearly a hundred catties, this kid can carry and run like flying, he is simply a brute bull, and the army needs such a guy.

"Boy, are you interested in participating in Ann**?"

"Official, the villain doesn't want to be a soldier, can you give the little one a little more salt?"

"Hmph, I don't want to be a soldier, so I'm having a good time." Xie Bin snorted angrily and said, "I don't want to be a soldier, so I got ten catties of salt as soon as possible." ”

Gu Zhenhua waved his hand and said with a smile: "A few catties of salt is not a problem, Benjue has occupied Tianjin, and those profiteers and lackeys will all have to deal with it, and they will give everyone food." It's just that you have to give me a reason, why do you want to order more salt? ”

As soon as Kang Dali heard this, he immediately got up from the ground and knelt in front of Gu Zhenhua.

"Thank you, sir." Kang Dali said gratefully: "The villain is a hunter in the mountains, there is a younger brother in the family, he likes to study since he was a child, my parents died early, and there is nothing left in the family." I just wanted to earn some money so that my brother could study. ”

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "So you just want to exchange salt for some money as tuition, right?" ”

"That's right, my lord, I've hunted tigers and killed blind bears in the past few years, and it's almost enough, it's enough to give Mr. a shackle!"

Xie Bin was also a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Boy, do you really dare to fight with a tiger and bear?" ”

"Hehe, why don't you dare, I caught the tiger with a trap, but the bear blind man really beat it, and I still have bear paw prints on my back!"

Xie Bin also showed surprise on his face, and looked at Kang Dali carefully, and saw that Kang Dali was a little hairy.

"Boy, a little salt is nothing, if you pass the comprehensive test, you can get ten taels of settling-in allowance, which is enough for your brother to go to a private school."

"What you say is true?"

Xie Bin nodded without hesitation and said: "Of course it's true, not only that, but An**'s military salary is also the most generous, if you can become a soldier, there is no problem at all for your brother to study." ”

At this time, Gu Zhenhua also smiled and said: "You let your younger brother study, the idea is good, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty will call soon, do you want your younger brother to read and work for the Manchu Dynasty?" ”

At the mention of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Kang Dali's eyes turned red and his fists clenched.

"Impossible, my father died at the hands of the Tartars, if I give my life to the Tartars, it is not to recognize the thief as my father, and my father will be mad underground."

"Well said, bring your younger brother over too, An ** will also run a school and teach everyone to read and write."

"Ahh When Kang Dali heard this, he was immediately pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, my lord, the little one kowtowed to you!" ”

"Don't kneel, remember, every soldier in An** is a man who stands up to the sky, and kowtowing has all been abolished!"

Kang Dali also got up from the ground excitedly, he had never heard that the army still had to run a school, it was like pie in the sky, and he threw his exhaustion out of the clouds at once, and he was full of energy, waiting for the next test.

At the end of the weight-bearing run, the long jump, weightlifting, and 1oo-meter run were tested to ensure that each soldier's endurance and explosive power were all qualified. Then there was an intelligence test, which was a creation in recruitment.

Even Li Xu and the others raised objections, thinking that it didn't matter if the soldiers were stupid, on the contrary, they were honest and obedient if they were stupid. However, Gu Zhenhua resolutely objected, he was for the future training of officers, and the best young people must be selected.

Of course, the so-called intelligence test will not be as complicated as in later generations, mainly including simple arithmetic addition and subtraction, distinguishing left and right, reciting a sentence, repeating and so on.

These are easy for primary school students in later generations, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was obviously not successful, among more than 700 people, more than 300 were brushed down in the intelligence test, and only about 400 people remained.

Gu Zhenhua is already quite satisfied with this number, you must know that when Yuan Shikai was training the Beiyang Army at the small station, just turning left and right, he had to work hard and practice for several months. It is obvious that the people of the late Ming Dynasty were higher than those of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Gu Zhenhua looked at the more than 400 people who had passed the test, and said with a smile: "Brothers, congratulations on your entry into the gate of An ** with one foot, but there is still one last hurdle waiting for you, that is, you will personally hold the ghost head knife and cut those traitor captives." If you want to become a real warrior, you must go through the test of blood, and only by passing this level can you be a man who stands up to the sky! ”

When Gu Zhenhua was recruiting, even if he was accurate, letting the recruits be responsible for killing people could not only make them mature quickly, but also kill the traitors, which was equivalent to handing in the petition, and they could only follow Gu Zhenhua with all their hearts.

Of course, these young men still don't understand the deep meaning, but they just regard it as a great honor, and they are eager to try.

Gu Zhenhua personally led them to the stake that bound Yuan Yuzong, Lou Guangxian, and those captives. Far away, I saw that these guys had been piled up with colorful things, and the strong pungent smell made people frown.

The people of Tianjin were also a little tired, and they were all chatting in groups, especially full of curiosity about Gu Zhenhua and An **. The measures taken by this army to deal with traitors are strange, and the methods of recruiting soldiers are also strange.

6 And some young men came back with salt in their heads, and talked about all kinds of unbelievable tests, which at once ignited the enthusiasm of the people present, and everyone talked about it.

The young men who finally passed the test came in a neat line, they were covered in sweat and dirt, and they all looked a little wolf, but without exception, they all held their chests high, and their eyes were full of pride and pride, and being able to pass the test so rigorously meant that they were the best among their peers.

When they reached the front of the stake, the crowd burst into applause.

Gu Zhenhua said loudly: "An**'s mission is to protect the family and defend the country, the Tartars and traitors are our enemies, what you have to do today is to sword the traitors and use their blood as a witness for you to join this team!" ”

After Gu Zhenhua finished speaking, there was another round of applause, and at this time, Hu Shan and the others had already brought over the swords, guns, and weapons and handed them to these young people.

"There are more than 200 in total, and you are still in a group of two, one is responsible for stabbing the chest, and the other is cutting off the head, and if anyone can't do it, get out immediately!" Hu Shan explained loudly and clearly.

"Who's going to be the first?"

"Me!" Kang Dali rushed to the front in three steps and two steps, and at the same time, a black boy rushed out of the team, shouting loudly: "And me!" ”

This black boy is also not tall, very stocky, with small eyes, very energetic, dripping and turning, revealing a shrewd energy.

Seeing him rush out, the first person in the crowd laughed, it was the Zhao butcher, he pouted happily, looked at the people on both sides, and laughed: "See, my old Zhao family's child, it's just a kind, like his father!" ”

"Zhao Butcher, don't put gold on your face, you have killed pigs all your life, but you don't have your son as a hero!"

"Without Lao Tzu, how can there be a boy, you ask him, dare to compare heroes with Lao Tzu?"

One sentence made everyone laugh, Zhao Tian and Kang Dali wanted to grab this place, and both of them stared at each other.

"Dali, if I hadn't helped you just now, you wouldn't have been able to pass the arithmetic level."

"Hmph, even if I owe you a favor, I don't have to be in such a hurry to pay it back."

"Don't mumble!" Hu Shan shouted: "One of the two of you, cut down Yuan Yuzong and Lou Guangxian!" ”

"Yes!"

Kang Dali rushed to Yuan Yuzong first, he fought with the beast, he had already practiced quite good skills, a knife pierced Yuan Yuzong's chest, the blade pressed down, and suddenly a big disembowelment, all the pieces spilled out.

In the midst of Yuan Yuzong's screams, Kang vigorously swung his knife violently, cutting off the head, and the bones rolled out dozens of steps away, just at the feet of the ordinary people watching the excitement. Someone grabbed the head and laughed: "Folks, the big guy kicked this dog's head!" ”

Zhao Tian's technique was more ruthless than Kang Dali's, first chopping off Lou Guangxian's two arms, and throwing them into the crowd, and someone immediately grabbed them.

"Old and young masters, eat the traitor's flesh and drink his blood!"

The blood stimulated everyone's nerves, and after cutting Yuan Yuzong and Lou Guangxian, everyone else also lined up and killed them one by one, some of them couldn't be killed with one shot, they had to shoot five or six times in a row, and some couldn't cut off their heads with one knife, and they had to cut them several times repeatedly.

Among the more than 400 people, more than 30 people who couldn't bear the pressure collapsed one after another, and Gu Zhenhua was unceremonious and directly expelled them.

At the end of the day, more than 380 people finally passed the guò test, and they became the first batch of official recruits of An**.

The attraction of salt and the pleasure of killing traitors quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the people of Tianjin, and by the next day, the number of young people who signed up more than doubled.

The people of the neighboring villages and towns, the children of the military families of the guards, and the boatmen on the canal all came, and the number of people who passed the guò test exceeded 1,000!

An**'s team is also expanding rapidly, and there is a thick stack of rosters alone, and Gu Zhenhua is also very excited.
