Chapter Twenty-Eight: Combining Vertical and Horizontal Plans for a Rainy Day

- Lu dialect

......

Li Wu called out to the person in charge and shouted, "Where did the handsome martial artist in white come from? Is it the person named Mo Si on the roster?"

Li Wu was surrounded by two or three scribes, many of whom were well-informed and similar to the bag inquirers on the market.

An old man with a goatee squinted his eyes and turned around, seeing that the main family had been sullen for a long time due to poor recruitment, and Li Wu was very interested at this time, so he couldn't miss it! He walked out half a step and bowed slightly to Li Wu and hugged his fist and congratulated: "Congratulations to the sergeant, congratulations to the sergeant!

Li Wu saw that the old man with a goatee couldn't help but be overjoyed at this time, and his face was ruddy, so he somewhat affirmed the guess in his heart (it seems that the children of the Mo family are not suspicious), and said: "Bao Lao Er, you said that this person is a child of a famous family? Could it be that he is a child of the Mo family in Southwest City, so it is also counted~" As he spoke, he pulled the rough beard on his face with one hand, and the color changed greatly.

The children of famous families have always been praised in the laughter and chatter of the ancient people, and if they meet any of the children who compete for military merits, it is easier to get a general or something under the operation of strong family resources.

Such things have always been good to talk about, and the sergeants who are the first to admit or introduce them to the entrance will have a great deal of honor.

Of course, that's all for later. The truth is that even if a truly pure famous family goes to the battlefield, there will be no one who can become a general in the end......

Although Li Wu didn't think too much about it, he thought that if he was to be admitted to the exam later, if he was a little short of a star, he would be admitted to the exception, and it would be good to have a good relationship......

......

Not far from the audience, the young man in white looked left and right like most candidates looking left and right at the unfamiliar environment around him, but at a certain moment, a trace of doubt hidden in the depths of his eyes gradually spread.

......

It's been more than three years since Ishii San crossed the ocean to the ancient country, and a samurai heart is burning, and a samurai soul is burning.

......

The people who handed in the name post are lining up to pass the interview, which is generally a preliminary screening out of those who are too unqualified. For example, crooked melons and cracked dates that are obviously not suitable for joining the army, such as sickness, weakness, and thinness, and three rounds of martial arts examinations after passing the second screening.

The interviewer looked at the young men in front of him, picking and choosing like an aunt buying vegetables in the vegetable market.

"You, the one with crooked eyebrows! Hey, hey, hey、...... Look, I'm rubbing, aren't the brothers around me all alive when I practice the saber?" "I'm wiping! I'm still looking! Eliminated~!!"

"Hey~, brother, I see your soft eyebrows and white skin, come, you take two steps......

...... I rub, more woman than my wife. It's okay, you should go to Yichun Courtyard for assessment, it's not a young lady~" "Come, I'll give you the contact information of Mother Li in Yichun Courtyard, eliminate~!"

"Hey, I hate it, my family said that I wanted people to join the army and learn masculinity~ People ,...... Hmph, hate!"

...... "vomit ......", ,...... "vomit ......", "vomit ......"

...... There are really more demons and monsters these days, Li Wu muttered after vomiting. "Next"

The assessment continued, and the interviewer roughly and simply screened the first round of ordinary soldiers according to the existing rules and standards. Constantly weeding out people or absorbing soldiers.

"Six and a half feet tall, good birth!~!"

"Six feet tall, arm strength is outstanding!~!"

"Nearly seven feet tall, weighs more than one hundred and fifty pounds, strong and good!~!"

Ishii San finally walked up with a faint expression and said, "In Shijing San, I have studied martial arts in the Beijing Kamikaze Martial Arts Hall for several years, and now I want to join the army to serve and fulfill the ambition of a man." ”

"Tsk, tsk. The interviewer patted Ishii San's sturdy body bones, and couldn't help but be very satisfied with this tall young man, and praised it: "Well, it's good, a standard practitioner." "This person has passed! ”

Then Ishii Mizo got a pass token.

The interview continued, and the crowd was almost past the initial round of screening. When it was the turn of the young man in white, the interviewer patted him on the shoulder and said as if flattering: "Handsome and extraordinary, good seedlings, young people work hard, I, Zhang San and Master Li Wu, are optimistic about you." ”

In a sentence, he cleverly mentioned his name lightly, and he was not worried that the children of the family would not have the opportunity to show their positions after joining the army.

Zhang San is not jealous of the rich, nor does he look at people through the cracks in the door or the bottom of the well, he knows that "the children of the family who dare to come out of the family greenhouse and experience the baptism of wind and rain will only be smarter, and the skills that should be possessed by the same age are much more powerful." ”

"Disciple Mo Si, I first thanked Zhang Sanye for his kindness. The young man in white bowed.

After seeing the young man in white so good, he remembered his name again. The interviewer, Zhang San, smiled and felt that the weather was particularly good today. I happily gave a wooden card that passed the interview for the second round of assessment.

Soon, those who should get the pass tokens will be obtained, and those who should be eliminated will also be eliminated.

As for the young people who got the pass token, they were soon led to the school for the second assessment.

When he saw Li Wu carefully following and accompanying the lieutenant Liu Baoguo on the school field, he saw this lieutenant in the southwest city appear.

The eyes of the young man in white narrowed, and his black eyes spread out like an abyss...... That look was a confirmation, when the beast of the mountain confirmed the terrifying look of the prey that was about to be captured. If someone followed him from the deepest part of his eyes, he would arrive at the other end of the field with a tall, sturdy young man with an almost identical demeanor......

In the ancient kingdom of the Celestial Empire, joining the army was extremely simple. The ancient kingdom has been passed down for thousands of years, and like every precipitated dynasty, the class is gradually divided, and the upward path is limited and blocked.

Of course, this is for most ordinary people with limited abilities.

For extraordinary talents, we have our own extraordinary ways to give them.

Therefore, there is a distinction between three, six, nine and so on for the selection of soldiers.

Soldiers, fight to fight, or fight to stop the war.

The major affairs of the country of those who have a soldier, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored.

Therefore, in the face of this major event, the best thing for the big people to do is to set terms and conditions, rules and regulations, which is better and which is inferior, and so on...... What is the actual situation? Who can control too much, just implement it!

Most of the recruits who have just joined the army are classified as third-class soldiers, that is, the lowest level, and they are all-encompassing in all kinds of matters related to people's livelihood and social affairs, such as patrolling and garrisoning, walking the streets and alleys, digging and building, and urban management and people's governance; but those who have outstanding ability may be awarded the title of second-class soldier, and can command ten third-class soldiers under them; no matter how good or outstanding in military merit are, they will be ranked as first-class soldiers, and they can command ten second-class soldiers next to them, and they can officially be called sergeants.

And the sergeant, like the Chengguan army, is directly under the command of the captain of the city above it!

As the commander of the military government in the southwest city, Liu Baoguo, a military captain, can be said to be a veritable figure of real power. He has the strongest armed forces in and around the Southwest City, and he was born in a humble family, and he has been promoted to this position all the way through the years of solid military industry and ability.

Under its iron-blooded attack and vigorous measures, not only the southwest city is peaceful all year round, but even the suburbs are dozens of miles away from mountain bandits and rebellious crimes, and the four fields are peaceful. Of course, in recent years, a chaotic place in the old nest forest that has mysteriously risen outside the city is regarded as two words, but it is a later story.

Liu Baoguo sat upright on the high platform, his facial features were rough, and his eyebrows still had the majesty of a tiger and a leopard. After many years of military career, even if he sat there lightly, the people around him could still feel a killing aura mixed with him. Make the hearts of the enemy palpitate and make the heart of the enemy excited!

At this time, he was still watching the school election with interest.

At this time, the selection of military personnel in the ancient country was open, and whether it was the election of soldiers or the evaluation and promotion of sergeants in the school, they were all handled in an open and transparent manner. It will not bury the majority of capable and military merits, so the relatively fair style of the ancient country has always been appreciated by the people and imitated by neighboring countries.

Ma San was a high-ranking soldier, but he preferred to be called a sergeant. Ma San is also a soldier, he has been in the sergeant class for many years, although he is more and more proficient in military affairs, more skilled in martial arts, and can saddle in front and behind, but if he wants to be born in an ordinary family like this, he will stop here without accidents in this life, and in layman's terms, he will not be able to rise.

Ma San himself also understands that in this peaceful year when it has become more and more corrupt, where can he find military merits? Alas, what can be done, while no one saw him, he lowered his head and sighed slightly, and then immediately raised his head and shouted in a formulaic voice: "Next!"

"If you want to get preferential treatment in the army, the stunned youths! Hurry up and show the military master and I will see you go to this school to show your skills!" Ma San came to his senses and thought that he was also enthusiastic in the army back then, and couldn't help but shout loudly and constantly reprimanded these newcomers!

"Look at you quails dragging mud and water, the local saying is to support the bold and starve to death the cowardly! Lao Tzu, I am ashamed of your father and mother! What do you see? Do you want to win a first-class ranking as soon as I entered the school without saying a word~, you quails, do you want to eat meat or drink soup?!"

Ma San lectured to those who were not enthusiastic enough or who had not hesitated, and at the same time led all the examiners under him to conduct the assessment trials that had been carried out in the field.

......

Among the recruits, three or five groups of people are divided into small groups of people, and they are constantly being tested and tested.

There are recruits who have raised stone hammers, recruits who have passed the next round of martial arts assessments, recruits who demonstrate the equestrian skills required by cavalry, recruits who have been assessed for archery skills in a hundred steps, and naturally there are also cavalry archery, but this test is quite difficult and easy to mess up, but very few people touch it.

At this time, the cheers in the field burst out, and the waves were louder than the waves!

It turned out that there was a tall man in the field at some point, and everyone in the previous stone hammer test raised a single hammer, and his Zama Shen arm shouted with both hands and held two stone hammers high above the top!

This move attracted a lot of sideways eyes and full of eyes from all around.

Even Li Wu, who had just given him a token to pass the preliminary round of screening, couldn't help but laugh around, and said proudly for his vision: "I said in the primary election that this person is good, he is a standard practitioner!"

"However, with such a lot of effort in strength alone, I am afraid that it is difficult to have the beauty of both in martial arts, riding and shooting. I'm afraid this person will have a little bit of strength~ It's a pity~ ......" In order to prove his unique vision, Li Wu spoke to his subordinates around him.

Of course, the military captain Liu Baoguo who was sitting above faintly heard this, he just smiled freely, and he didn't care about his subordinate Li Wu's sarcastic words. How can you look at people on the battlefield by their appearance, there are many people who are ordinary in appearance but have superb skills, how can these enemies tell your opponents? Liu Baoguo was decisive in killing, and never despised everyone who wanted to take his head on the battlefield, so the enemy fell, and he still has a lot of military achievements.

Of course, it is more common in the world to fall behind other martial arts because they are good at a certain aspect, especially those who lack resources and are poor.

As if confirming what Li Wu said, the man in black fell behind in the competition with a soldier's oil martial arts. It seems that the martial arts are not refined, but he is just like a stupid big man everywhere by relying on his strong body to fight hard to get mixed up with this level. Limited by the assessment, it is impossible for Bing Youzi to really come up with a killing method, and he can only be helpless to pass the next hurdle by him.

As a result, the onlookers also dispersed, and they all thought that this tall man in black had almost stopped at the first rank of privates.

To the archery skills, the tall and strong man has five shots out of ten, and none of the arrows can hit the red heart, and he is barely good. At this time, there were few eyes on the onlookers. Later, after the riding was also mediocre, the gaze of the observer was almost gone.

At this time, the tall man Ishii Sanru, who had returned, scratched his head as embarrassed and applied to the examiner for mounted shooting.

The examiner looked at the stubborn man who wanted to go further, and thought that at this time, his grades were already on the top of the second-class soldiers, and there was nothing to add according to his performance, so he thought that he was not giving up, so he took the arrow box and longbow military horse and let him go again, but in his heart he said "It's just a joke......

Ishii San took the arrow box and pinned it behind him seriously, and the longbow was attached to his arm, he looked at the extreme distance in the southeast, and the breeze caused a trace of sadness and desolation in his heart, and the remnant sun hung in the snow-white sky like blood......

"Hey, I'm going to wait in line for you, damn it, I'm not going yet!!" the examiner snorted impatiently.

When Ishii San heard this, he took one last look into the distance and came back to his senses, and he said to himself, "Yes, it's time to go......"

He looked at the examiner, straightened his clothes and sorted out his appearance like a ritual, and suddenly approached! Looking down at that face, he said word by word: "You can die~!"

A great fear suddenly arose in the examiner's heart......

I saw the sleeve of a hand slashing in front of the examiner, and a silver light flashed in between~

The pupils of the person in front of Ishii San quickly dilated~

Before the crowd in the field noticed the situation here, and even before the corpse fell, Ishii San stepped on the war horse and rushed out with a whip!

The onlookers thought it was the beginning of the riding and archery assessment.

The war horse under Ishii's crotch has broken through the crowd!!

Panic spread in all directions......

On the war horse, Ishii Sanru was raging as a killing god, and he drew several arrows in one hand, and the longbow made a squeaking sound in the full moon! Suddenly, the galloping war horse stabbed towards the high platform with the direction of the arrows......

(To be continued!)
