"Brother Fang, do you believe their words, can you really kill more than a thousand Tartars?"

Fang Jianming shook his head: "Brother Liu, I don't know if it's true or not, it's just that this tartar has entered the customs, I'm afraid it can't be faked." ”

"Brother Fang, what are you going to do?"

Fang Jianming gritted his teeth and said, "I want to join the army, carry a three-foot sword, and make meritorious contributions in the field!" ”

"Isn't this nonsense, how can anyone raise a man to be a big soldier, it's simply insulting and unorthodox."

"Brother Liu, I know how many catties and taels I have, Bagu Shiwen is really not what I am good at, I am fortunate to be able to be admitted to the lifting person, if you want to go further, you have to go off the rails!"

In the crowd, they were all talking about each other.

Gu Zhenhua's eyes swept over all the people, and then said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, this lord has received the edict of Emperor Chongzhen, and he will lead the loyal and brave people to sweep away the smoke and dust, defend China, and fight with the Tartars to the end. Benjue hopes that everyone can actively participate in the security ** and jointly protect the family and defend the country. All young people who sign up for the selection can receive ten catties of salt. ”

Anything else may just sound good, but ten catties of salt is almost enough for one person to eat for a year, and everyone present has green eyes, like hungry wolves, eager to try.

You must know that since the monopoly of salt and iron, salt is a profiteering industry, and the common people have endured extremely high salt prices, and almost all the savings throughout the year have been given to salt dealers, which is simply miserable.

Therefore, as soon as I heard that I was going to give salt, it was like pie in the sky, and when I looked at Gu Zhenhua again, I suddenly felt that this official was much more pleasing to the eye. Of course, for Gu Zhenhua, Tianjin relied on the Changlu Salt Farm, and he didn't care about taking out a little salt, and his most urgent thing was to recruit enough qualified soldiers.

"Hot-blooded men who want to participate in the selection, you can not only get a good military salary, but also have a precious opportunity, that is, you can kill traitors and thieves with your own hands!"

As he spoke, the soldiers brought Yuan Yuzong and Lou Guang up first, pushed them, and knelt on the high platform, with the people under the black pressure. Yuan Yuzong was already paralyzed, Lou Guangxian was a military general after all, and he raised his head with courage, but in the face of countless eyes full of hatred and contempt, he was also trembling with fright.

After Gu Zhenhua caught them, he immediately searched their mansion and found a lot of letters exchanged with the Manchu side. He also found a note from the grain merchant Wu Shizhen from Yuan Yuzong, which completely confirmed their defection to the enemy and betrayed the country.

When they were escorted up, all the evidence was put out, and when they saw the ironclad evidence, the people immediately boiled. Traitors and thieves, no matter what they do, are all stinky streets. Especially when they are ready to sacrifice Tianjin to the Qing army, isn't this putting these people to death!

"Betraying the folks, do you still have human feelings, grandpa strangled you!"

The butcher of Zhao, who killed the pig, was usually short-tempered, and when he saw them, he immediately couldn't control it, and he was about to jump onto the high platform in three steps and two steps to kill Yuan Yuzong. With someone taking the lead, everyone shouted and rushed forward.

"Cut them, a thousand cuts!"

"Yes, don't be cheap, these two souls!"

……

Seeing that everyone was hugging the stage, Gu Zhenhua frowned and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, they can't run." ”

As Gu Zhenhua stopped drinking, several firecrackers fired at the sky one after another, and the scene finally calmed down, and all eyes fell on Gu Zhenhua.

"Listen, big guys, they are not the only traitors who betray the country, there are also people in the city who have secretly communicated with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there are also people who have sold grain, salt, pig iron, medicine and other materials to the Tartars. As a result, the Tartars were well fed, sharpened their swords, and turned their heads to kill the Han Chinese. These profiteers and accomplices, Ben Jue will not let any of them go, they will all be executed! ”

"That's right, we all support the adults and kill the profiteers!"

"Kill the profiteers!"

As soon as the call was called, the slogans became louder and louder, and more and more people in Tianjin rushed to hear the news, crowded like canned sardines, all of them stared at each other with round eyes and clenched their fists tightly.

"Folks, the profiteer Benjue is investigating, and he will bring them over immediately. The first batch of soldiers selected by Tongguò can get the opportunity to hold a ghost head knife in their own hands and blade traitors in their hands, what do you think? ”

"Okay, great!"

"My lord, we can't wait, let's start quickly!"

Gu Zhenhua immediately ordered the selection of an open space close to the wharf and arranged the selection venue. Facing the field, hundreds of wooden stakes were erected, tying Yuan Yuzong, Lou Guangxian, and those prisoners to it.

"The lord has an order, everyone can use rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, broken soles, and even feces and urine, but you are not allowed to use stones, if you kill them, it will be cheaper for them!"

The soldiers announced Gu Zhenhua's order, and all the people present laughed heartily, this lord was really enlightened. With the order, everyone is welcome.

For a while, all the messy things were smashed down, and a rotten egg hit his eye, and suddenly the foul-smelling liquid flowed down, and Yuan Yuzong opened his mouth in disgust and vomited.

Coincidentally, at this time, the half-grown child took a cabbage leaf, which was wrapped with a pile of pig dung, and smashed it on the mouth and nose of Yuan Yuzong, Yuan Yuzong was so disgusted that he almost fainted, but the people still didn't let him go, and all kinds of things fell down like hailstones, almost drowning him.

In the end, the soldiers had to come out to stop it, otherwise they were really afraid that this guy would stink to death!

The common people had a good time, and the assessment of the selection of recruits over there also began. The people of Tianjin are particularly active, and the queue is long, and it is almost impossible to see the end at a glance.

"Get me out!"

Zhou Yingjie was inspecting these people in line, and his brows immediately furrowed, pointed at a few guys with a horsewhip, and said angrily: "Your heads are all white, what are you still young and strong." ”

"Official, the younger one is a little bald and old, but I'm only thirty and very strong. If you really don't agree, give the villain ten catties of salt, and get out of here immediately! ”

A few angry guys around him also salivated, nodded their heads, and kept asking: "Official, you are a good person at first glance, and you can appreciate the little ones a little bit." I have a ninety mother and a child who won't leave......"

"What a bold man, are you joking when you recruit soldiers?"

Zhou Yingjie said and pulled out his waist knife, and was about to cut this thing that was talking nonsense with his eyes open. At this time, Li Xu happened to come over, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Ninth brother, don't be angry, I have seen a lot of this kind of hob meat." ”

Li Xu said with a smile: "You all listen to me, the upper limit of this recruitment is 2o years old, and the lower limit is 15 years old, and it is required to have a clean family background, be healthy, and have no ** hobbies." Only in this way can you pass the guò first test and get ten catties of salt, as for what naughty and mischievous, **ruffian, want to cheat salt, that's wishful thinking! ”

"Official, the villain doesn't know, please atone for your sins!"

These guys also saw Zhou Yingjie's young and tender face, so they deliberately bullied him and wanted to bargain for a bargain, but when they met Li Xu's fierce look, they were all trembling and worried.

"It's late!" Li Xu sneered: "Arrest them all for me, my father is short of coolies to move things, they all go to work, dare to be lazy, and tie up with those traitors!" ”

After Li Xu finished speaking, the soldiers dragged away the hob meat. When the others saw it, they were also startled, and many people quietly slipped away from the team, for fear that they would also be arrested, and suddenly the entire team was shortened by more than half, and the rest were all young and middle-aged.

"Second brother, these things are bold, just punishing hard labor, cheapening them!"

Li Xu smiled bitterly: "Ninth brother, a good man is not a soldier, let alone this kind of war." In the past, when recruiting soldiers from all over the country, there were also many ruffians who mixed in, and even forcibly recruited strong men. Most of these guys heard that there was salt to take, so they thought about bargaining. ”

"Hmph, wishful thinking, the standards set by Seventh Brother this time are quite strict, and not everyone can get in."

"yes." Li Xu also smiled: "Just the age is stuck at 2o years old, in fact, a little older, it's okay!" ”

Of course, Li Xu didn't understand Gu Zhenhua's thoughts, he wanted to train a new army, and he wanted to instill new things in his soldiers, the younger he was, the faster he would learn.

Therefore, Gu Zhenhua set the upper limit at 2o years old, and the other 15 or 16 years old should be assigned to the juvenile camp, Gu Zhenhua is ready to personally teach them cultural knowledge, learn reconnaissance, surveying and mapping, command, training and other homework. To put it bluntly, it is necessary to train as a future officer, and this recruitment is just like Gu Zhenhua said, it is better to have a shortage than an abundance, and everyone is a seed that can support a larger-scale expansion of the army.

"Sir, more than 1,300 people have passed the initial test, what do you think will happen next?"

Gu Zhenhua nodded and came to the front of these young people, all of whom were held high by their chests, and they were full of energy.

Gu Zhenhua nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone has passed the primary election, Benjue will never break his promise, everyone can receive ten catties of salt." Of course, you have to be able to pass the next test and enter the army, so that you can get more. ”

Saying that, Gu Zhenhua pointed to the wooden stakes piled on the side, and said with a smile: "You are in a team of two, carrying the wooden stakes, running around the school field for thirty laps, and if you finish it, you will enter the next round!" ”

These young people were all from peasant families, and they could not do some work, so they carried wooden stakes and ran away like rabbits.

"Silly boy, slow down, don't be able to run for a while!" Hu Shan couldn't help but remind on the side that since he was punished by Gu Zhenhua, he could be regarded as a master of running circles, and his will was a little bit worse than he could withstand it.

Sure enough, after running more than a dozen laps, some people couldn't bear it, their legs were like lead, and the stakes on their shoulders were heavier than the mountains, so overwhelming that they couldn't breathe, and their chests were about to burst. I couldn't bear it, so I simply threw the stake aside and quietly slipped away.

Gu Zhenhua's eyes were firmly fixed on the audience, and suddenly there were two partners carrying wooden stakes, one of them threw the wooden stake, and ran away.

"Soul light! Lao Tzu can do it alone! Kang Dali was thrown to the ground in a row, his eyes were round, he suddenly picked up the stake again, and ran away.

Finally, the thirty laps were over, one by one back to the original point, Kang vigorously staggered the last step, plopped and fell to the ground, the sweat on his body soaked the ground.

"Boy, it's good." Gu Zhenhua said with a smile.

Kang Dali reluctantly said: "Adult, the little one is finished, can you give a little more salt?" ”
