Chapter 486: Assessment (5)

"What's your name?"

"My lord, my name is Hong Daqi." The recruit man who lifted the two stone locks, adding up to a total of four hundred catties, grinned, showed a row of big white teeth, and said with a simple smile.

"Hong Daqi, your father and mother want you to become a big tool in the future, right?"

"My father said that as long as I meet the right person, I can be a late bloomer!" Na Hong said loudly.

"Why do you want to be a brocade guard?"

"When you are a brocade guard, you can eat enough, so I came." Hong Daqi scratched his head embarrassedly and said.

"Haha......" There was a burst of laughter around him.

"I have a lot of strength, and the amount of food is also large, my father and mother can't support me, I heard that Jinyiwei is recruiting, not only to take care of the food, but also to have rice grain, so I came."

"Look at the calluses on your hands, are you Shibato?"

"How do you know?"

"What kind of person is an adult, just look at you, and you will know what you do." Tang Xiao scolded lightly.

"What's the matter with your hair?" Meng Yan asked, pointing to Hong Daqi's bare skull.

"This hair is long, sweaty, uncomfortable, and once it is injured in the mountains, it will kill people." Hong Daqi explained.

"Can you tell me, how did it kill someone?" Meng Yan asked.

"I can't say it well, anyway, there is someone in our village who was injured on the head, and he refused to cut his hair, and then the head wound leaked pus, and he died within a few days!" Hong Daqi said.

"I see, then you don't have hair?"

"I'm not a scholar, what do I do with such long hair, it's still in the way, so I just shave it all!"

"Daqi, I remember your story, train hard. Hope to see you at the end! Meng Yan gently patted Hong Daqi's shoulder.

"My lord, can I be like that Hua Qingfang, although I can't outrun him, but my strength is greater than him!"

"Yo, I can't see it, you're quite capable. Do you want to learn from him and let the official give you a small flag? ”

"Those people in our village look down on me, saying that I can't stop the Jinyi Guard, I want to be one of them!" Hong Daqi said.

"But if you ask me to give you a small flag, it will not be enough to raise a four-hundred-pound iron lock." Meng Yan smiled slightly, stepped forward, lifted a two-hundred-pound stone lock in one hand, and lifted it easily.

It stunned the people around me.

"My lord is really powerful!" Tang Xiao was also surprised, although he knew that Meng Yan's kung fu was very powerful. But I didn't expect such a divine power.

"This can be done by ordinary people with exercise, it's nothing, how about it, big tool, do you still think it's amazing?"

"My lord, I can add another stone lock!" Hong Daqi pursed his lips, and said with a flash of light in his eyes.

"Six hundred pounds. Are you sure? ”

"I'm sure!"

"Okay, Hong Daqi. If you can lift the stone lock of 600 catties and keep it for ten breaths, when the training camp is over, if you are still there, a small flag will be indispensable for you. Meng Yan said loudly.

"Come on!" Hong Daqi roared and stepped forward. One hand lifts a stone lock, and then two stone locks hold a stone lock between them.

"Hey!"

Exhaled, Hong Daqi suddenly lifted it, and all three stone locks were lifted up by him.

"Up!"

There was only a loud shout, and the three stone locks were lifted above their heads. At this time, Hong Daqi's forehead and neck were red, and the green muscles were exposed!

"Ten, nine, eight, seven...... Three, two, one! ”

With a bang, the three stone locks were thrown by Hong Daqi and smashed to the ground, which were three huge earth pits.

And he himself was sweating like rain, supporting his thighs and knees with his hands, gasping for air.

"Great, sir, I did it......"

"Well, I saw it, Hong Daqi, the position of the small flag is yours." Meng Yan solemnly promised.

"Thank you, sir!" When Hong Daqi heard this, he was overjoyed.

After Hong Daqi, Meng Yan did not find anyone with greater strength than him, or similar to him, he could only say that Hercules is not so easy to find, this depends on luck.

"My lord, the fourth assessment is archery, this is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project, it's not early today, do you think it can be moved to tomorrow?"

"Yes, how many assessments are there?" Meng Yan asked.

"In addition to archery, there is also horsemanship!"

"There are five assessments, right?"

"My lord, in fact, the assessment is not limited to these five items, but also small items, such as reciting the "House Regulations", "Queue Rules", etc."

"Okay, you look at the arrangement, I'm just looking at it with my eyes." Meng Yan nodded.

"Yes."

"My lord, I'm here!" Hua Qingfang came to Meng Yan.

"It's only two hours until dark, and if you don't feel like you're running out of time, can we pick another time?"

"No, the adults have given me enough time!" Hua Qingfang came over after the grenade and strength assessment.

In this way, he did not fall behind any of today's three assessments.

"Okay, let's get started." Meng Yan nodded, "Tang Xiao, send two people to follow him." ”

Tang Xiao nodded, and went over to arrange it!

Night slowly falls, the distant green hills disappear from sight little by little, and in the mountains in March, the temperature at night is still very low.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"

"But Hua Qingfang is back?"

"Yes, my lord, he's back, and it's less than three miles from our base!"

"Okay, this Hua Qingfang is really a talent!" Meng Yan laughed, not to mention his other abilities, being able to run with such endurance for such a long time was an astonishing skill in itself.

Long-lasting explosive power, like walking on flat ground in the mountains and jungles, can play a huge role in jungle warfare.

The role of this small elite force is mainly behind enemy lines, running fast and explosive for a long time, which is easier to get rid of the enemy's tracking.

Hua Qingfang's ability may not be of much use in the big army, but in his eyes, lurking behind enemy lines and assassinating are all very useful.

A few minutes later, Hua Qingfang's figure appeared on the mountain road of Wild Wolf Valley. Although he looked struggling and slowing down a lot, he was able to go back and forth in two hours, which was already remarkable.

"My lord, Qing Fang is fortunate not to be dishonored!"

"Good. Okay, Hua Qingfang, you will be a small flag of the patrol brigade in the future, and when I report your name, the official appointment will be issued soon! Meng Yan said with great satisfaction.

"Thank you, sir!" Hua Qingfang was ecstatic.

"Go down to eat, rest, tomorrow's assessment will be good!" Meng Yan instructed.

"Qing Fang will not disappoint the adults!" Hua Qingfang was excited.

After dinner, Meng Yan convened a small meeting with the instructors of the base, and the main topic was around the training of recruits.

The first stage of assessment is to eliminate a group of people. How to settle these people, except for Sai Xiaoyu who will pick some away, most of the rest will stay in the base to enrich the base's guard force.

Hearing the news, the most excited was the old ghost, he originally had fifty people under him, a huge base, and fifty people guarded it. There are too many loopholes to take care of. Now he said that if he wanted to increase the guards, he would add at least a hundred people, although they were eliminated recruits, but in his opinion, even if they were eliminated, Na Su zhì was no worse than the people under his command.

"Uncle Ghost. Your men also need to be trained, and the standard is slightly lower than the training standard of the base, but if none of the eliminated soldiers under my command can compare, then don't blame me for not giving you face. "Meng Yan respects the old ghost, but the army speaks with strength. Seniority is in front of strength, so it's a ball?

"Uncle, no, don't worry, I understand." The old ghost gritted his teeth, it seems that he is going to train his subordinates these boys fiercely, and they are patronizing and watching the excitement these days.

"The training intensity needs to be increased, don't worry about them not being able to bear it, what I want is to squeeze their potential, didn't you do it here at the beginning, you couldn't do it there, how about it now, haven't you done it?" Meng Yan said solemnly.

"My lord, these people are still training in the basics, if they rashly increase the difficulty of training, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it?"

"Then gradually increase, within three months, I want them to take shape, not to reach your current level, but at least to reach more than 80 percent of yours, I am talking about comprehensive strength, not combat effectiveness, in terms of combat effectiveness, they are still far behind!" Meng Yan said heavily.

"Is the literacy class in the army open?"

"When I first entered the training base, it was opened, and most of the people were illiterate or knew very little." Li Chunfeng, the instructor in charge of military Chinese education, reported, "My lord, I am short of manpower here, so many people have to teach literacy, and one person is too busy. ”

"Isn't there someone who has read a book, let them help you, you can give you an additional writing allowance or reward, so that you will be relaxed." Meng Yan opened his mouth and said.

"That's a good idea, you can give it a try."

"There is another problem I want to mention, that is, the problem of personal hygiene, you may not think anything, but after every large-scale war, the probability of the outbreak of plague will be very high, and after the soldier is injured, if the wound is not effectively treated, it can also endanger life, and the soldier we have worked hard to train is so precious that life is so precious, so when the conditions allow, the soldier must take a bath, trim his nails, and shave his head every day!" Meng Yan said heavily.

"It's okay to bathe and trim your nails, but you can shave your head, but how can you shave your body's hair and skin, and your parents?"

"My lord, if this is a forced shave, it will cause the soldiers to be dissatisfied."

"My lord, the words of the saint cannot be violated!" Li Chunfeng also gritted his teeth and reminded Meng Yan not to forcibly shave his hair.

The ancients believed that shaving hair was an act of unfilial piety, which was second only to rebellion, and morality was strict and even murderous.

So if you don't become a monk and shave your hair, it will be considered unfilial, just imagine, who wants to bear a charge of unfilial piety.

"It's fine if you don't shave your hair, but I don't want to smell the sour smell on someone's head, so I can do it." Meng Yan also knew that this change of customs was the most difficult thing to do, not to mention that this was still in the Ming Dynasty, where science flourished.

Everyone looked at each other, this training must be sweating, and once you sweat, the smell of sweat is inevitable.

If you want to keep your hair without a sour smell, you have to wash your hair every day, because it is very troublesome to wash such long hair.

If you shave your hair short, it's much more convenient. (To be continued......)
