Guocheng still did not fulfill his desire to visit the Dali Temple, the highest court of the Ming Dynasty. As soon as Li Changgeng was transferred to the prison of Dali Temple, he suddenly fell ill and died after a few days, and the case was closed. The family members secretly said that they were pitiful, and if the rebellion case was confirmed, they would be finished. It's really a dead one, and the whole family is happy.

Wei Zhongxian really kept his word, and the next day he sent a talented man, that is, Ruan Dacheng, a famous traitor in the Ming Dynasty, this year's new science and technology jinshi. It seems that Ruan Dacheng is not like what history says, he only attached himself to Wei Zhongxian during the Apocalypse, but he has already secretly communicated with the song. Of course, Guocheng knows that he is a complete villain, but in Guocheng's eyes, a gentleman has the usage of a gentleman, and a villain has a villain's usage. There are only leaders who can't use people, and there are no people who can't be used. What is the saying of "near gentleman, far villain" is the view of Confucianism, Meng Weijun did not use the "chicken and dog thief" back then, and was slaughtered by King Qin Zhao.

After being idle, Guocheng decided to recruit troops, well, don't buy the horse first, who can ride the high-headed horse if you buy it. Guocheng inquired, there is a thousand households in the northwest of the capital, and there are many military surpluses. The so-called military surplus is the children of military households, and they are professional soldiers from birth, but they don't need so many soldiers in the guard, so they can't get official military status. If you go there to recruit people, you should be able to recruit a lot of people.

The roads in the Ming Dynasty were really for horses, not cars. The car swayed and bumped abnormally, Guocheng and Zhu Youzhen sat in the carriage for a long time, and their buttocks were about to be turned in half before they reached their destination. Accompanying them to recruit troops were Wang Chengen, Ruan Dacheng, Ke Qingqing, and of course more than 50 guards.

The Qianhu of the guard is called Wu Tianmeng, and he received a notice that His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun was going to come to this Qianhu to recruit troops, and wanted to find a good background for these military remnants, so he immediately ordered the young and strong military remnants over the age of eighteen, and waited for the imperial grandson to recruit troops.

After Guocheng's gaze swept over these sturdy soldiers, he shook his head in disappointment, he was too old to manage.

Wu Tianmeng shook his head when he saw Guocheng, and said angrily: "Isn't the military man of this guard strong enough? ”

Guocheng said: "The muscles are up, and they are strong enough." ”

Wu Tianmeng said again: "Aren't the soldiers of this guard firm brave enough?" ”

Guocheng said: "The eyes are firm and slightly murderous, and they are brave enough." ”

Wu Tianmeng said: "Then why are you shaking your head? ”

Guocheng said: "Too old. ”

Wu Tianmeng looked up to the sky and laughed: "An eighteen-year-old young man is still called old, so I, a thirty-year-old Qianhu, is old and useless." ”

Guocheng said: "This time I came to recruit 100 boys around the age of twelve. ”

Wu Tianmeng's eyes froze, and he said angrily: "Do you want to recruit prostitutes for those old people in the capital, forgive the thousands of households who will not accompany them." ”

Deputy Qianhu Feng Yu said: "Lord Qianhu, the prince of the country is wearing a royal flying fish suit, and he said that he is recruiting brocade clothes and guards, and he will never do such a thing." Senho-sama, let's take a look. ”

Wu Tian snorted heavily and stood aside, standing on the sidelines.

Guocheng asked the guards to take out the examination equipment and put them out one by one. The exam is divided into four levels, the first pass, and the pass. The javelins stand on the ground, the javelins are not straight, and after being connected to the line, they are zigzag, like a curved path, and there is only a foot in the middle for people to walk. The javelin is decorated with silver bells on the connecting line, and the bell does not ring when it is required to pass.

Wu Qianhu scolded in a low voice: "I also said that I didn't recruit a prostitute boy, and even the silver bell came out." ”

Feng Yu said: "Lord Qianhu, I think it's a little interesting. Jin Yiwei crosses the wall and crosses the house, and this kind of dexterous figure is needed. ”

The second level is to cross the grass, and a number of javelins are inserted into the ground, but the difference is that each javelin is hung with wire more than half a foot above the ground, and some thistles are wrapped around the wire, and the examiner climbs under the wire. Needless to say, if you don't climb well, you will get hurt.

Feng Yu and Wu Qianhu looked at the second level, thoughtful.

The third level is clairvoyance, and a guard stands at a distance of one zhang, showing several pictures in his hand, and asking the subject to quickly say the pattern he sees.

Feng Yu said with a smile: "This is probably to prepare for the cultivation of archers in the future." ”

Wu Qianhu said: "It's a little interesting, this is how the Tartars in the north began to train warriors from an early age. ”

The fourth level is to ask yourself to catch a chicken or some other animal, kill it, and smear the animal's blood on your face.

Feng Yu exclaimed: "What kind of assessment is this, it's disgusting." ”

Wu Qianhu said: "I think it's very good, we generally train our troops to train their physique, and rarely practice their courage." The first time I went into battle, I fought with real knives and real guns, and I could only swing fifty percent of the ten things. This trick will train the courage of the recruits, and they will not be afraid when they go into battle in the future. ”

The guards brought tables and chairs, and Guocheng and Zhu Youzhen sat under a big tree, waiting for the examiner to take the bait, uh, yes. There were many onlookers, but few people cared about seeing this strange four levels.

Finally, a bold young man asked, "I'll come to you as a brocade guard, don't you take care of the food?" ”

Guocheng patted his forehead and said with a smile: "It was my mistake." Mr. Ruan, please write a water card and stand in front of the four levels. It is written on the water card that the brocade clothes and guards recruited today include food and shelter, and the monthly money is 1 tael of silver, which increases by 1 yuan every year. But our Jinyi Guard is going to use knives and guns, and those who are timid and afraid of death are not coming. Depending on the severity of the circumstances, the injured will be compensated with 1 to 25 taels of silver, and work will be arranged. The deceased compensated the family with a hundred taels of silver. Organize the text, write this meaning, and write it in a way that is easy to understand. ”

Ruan Dacheng responded, and first asked Wu Qianhu to borrow a water card, but he didn't mention it when he wrote a notice.

Guocheng turned his head to the young man and said, "As long as you are not afraid of death, and you can pass these four levels, you will be able to eat all-you-can-eat, and there will be meat once in three days." What's your name and want to give it a try? ”

The young man straightened his chest and said: "My name is Guoqi, my surname is Chen, I am not afraid of death, let me try." ”

As he spoke, the boy stood in front of the first level and walked inside. The first level looks simple, but it is not easy, one is that the line is too long, and the other is that the turning angle is too large, and if you are not careful, you will ring the bell. Chen Guoqi carefully made several turns, and just at the exit, accidentally hit a bell. Seeing that the bell was about to ring, Chen Guoqi grabbed the bell and grabbed the small hammer in the bell with his fingers, but the bell did not ring. Chen Guoqi breathed a long sigh of relief, and said in his heart, no one will see it, who knew that as soon as he looked up, he saw Guocheng and Zhu Youzhen looking at his hands with burning eyes.

Chen Guoqi's face turned red, and he was about to say that he would do it all over again. I heard Guocheng say: "The second level." ”

Chen Guoqi was overjoyed, knowing that the first level had passed, he hurriedly walked to the second level and bowed down. The young man's body is thin, and the wire is half a foot high, which seems to be easy to get through, but when crawling, the hands and legs have to be arched, and the body must be raised. Listening to the "hiss" of torn clothes, the sound of Chen Guoqi standing up was already blurred with flesh and blood behind him.

Chen Guoqi gritted his teeth and said, "The third level." ”

"Son, shouldn't we be this brocade guard, okay?" A middle-aged woman cried out in the crowd.

Chen Guoqi shook his head, walked to the third level, and said to the guard holding the painting, "Let's start." ”

There was no TV in the Ming Dynasty, military households did not like to read, and Chen Guoqi's eyesight was not harmed.

Seeing the question of the fourth level, Chen Guoqi hesitated again and again, and finally stomped his feet and said to the middle-aged woman: "Mother, I'm sorry, I will pay you a chicken after I pay the monthly money." ”

After saying that, he ran home with a smoke, grabbed the old hen that laid the eggs, chopped off the chicken's head with a knife, lifted the chicken, and sprayed himself in the face.

After doing these things, he walked up to Guocheng and asked, "Lord Baihu, have I passed the test?" ”

Guocheng picked up a brush, wrote the three big characters "Chen Guoqi" on the conscription book in a dignified manner, and handed it to him: "What do you say? ”

After Wen Donglai's patient guidance, Guocheng's words have become much more beautiful, and he has been successfully promoted from ant crawling to turtle crawling.

Chen Guoqi said: "My lord, I don't know how to read. ”

Guocheng thought to himself, it seems that there is still a cultural class among the recruits. He sighed and said, "You have been admitted, go to His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun." ”

Zhu Youzhen lifted Chen Guoqi's clothes and smeared them on his back with gold medicine. This was discussed between Guocheng and Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen applied medicine to the injured recruits in order to buy people's hearts.

Wu Tianmeng said: "You didn't investigate your identity, just give him 5 taels of silver, aren't you afraid that he will abscond with the money?" ”

Guocheng said: "It's better to run, 5 taels of silver to test the loyalty of a soldier, I think it's a good deal." ”

Wu Tianmeng nodded and said: "The adults of the hundred households are really broad-minded, Chen Guoqi is indeed a military surplus of the main guard, he is not an impostor, and he will not run away." ”

With someone taking the lead, it will be easier to do the rest for many people. In front of the four levels, the teenagers lined up in a long line and were tested one by one, and the result was naturally both happy and worried.

By the time the sun was setting in the west, 113 teenagers had been recruited, Guocheng put the brush down, there were enough people, after all, he was only a hundred households, and there was only a limit of 1oo under his subordinates, so it was impossible to recruit unlimitedly, and this was just his test of the water and training, and it was easier to manage with fewer soldiers.

Wu Tianmeng walked over and twisted Nienie and said, "I wonder if the Lord can open a back door and put the dog in the Jinyi Guard?" ”

After all, he scolded Guocheng at noon, and now he is begging him again, Wu Tianmeng is a little embarrassed.

Guocheng agreed: "Okay, no problem, when the time comes, arrange for him to stay in the children's paradise, which is both relaxed and pleasant." ”

Wu Tianmeng said: "No, I want the dog to live with everyone, train together, and fight together." ”

Guocheng raised his eyebrows: "Why is this?" ”

Wu Tianmeng said very solemnly: "From the words and deeds of the prince of the country, I can see that you are a person who does great things, and if you follow you, you will have a future in the future." I trained the army at the guard station in the hope of making a name for myself on the battlefield, but with the responsibility of defending Gyeonggi, I am afraid that I will not have a bright future in the future. I want my son to be better than me. ”

Guocheng smiled and said, "Are you willing?" ”

Wu Tian clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "Reluctant." ”

Guocheng said: "Then please." ”

Wu Tianmeng said: "What please?" ”

Guocheng said: "Please participate in the test." ”

Wu Tianmeng turned around and shouted, "Gou'er, come, take the test." ”

Then Wu Tianmeng turned his head and introduced to Guo Cheng: "Guo Gongzi, this is the little dog Wu Gouping." ”

An eccentric teenager came running. The young man said angrily: "I said, people are not called Wu Gouping, they are called Wu Huping." ”

Guo Cheng smiled secretly when he heard Wu Tianmeng's name, and said: "I'll be the master, as long as you pass these four levels, you will be called Wu Huping." ”

Wu Gouping looked at Guocheng suspiciously: "Does what you said work?" My dad is a thousand households. ”

Wu Tianmeng shouted: "Gou'er, don't talk nonsense, the people of the country are a hundred households in Jinyiwei, and what they say will definitely work." ”

Wu Gou said happily: "Haha, I can finally change my name." ”

As he spoke, Wu Gouping rushed to the front of the first level, twisted and turned, and came out all at once, without even touching a bell; In the second level, he didn't do much work, he actually only used his finger power and abdominal strength to crawl over, and he didn't hook an iron thistle; The third level was a bit difficult, because it was almost dark, but his eyesight was amazing, and he finally passed it without danger; In the fourth level, Wu Gouping did not hesitate at all, grabbed Wu Qianhu's favorite dawn rooster, slaughtered it with one knife, and smeared his face with blood.

Guo Cheng said happily: "Wu Qianhu, His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun is happy to be a tiger general." ”

Wu Tianmeng cried and said with a sad face: "Lord Guo, I am sorry to lose General Baoxiao." ”
