Chapter Thirty-Six: Selecting a New Army on the Tournament
After thinking about the arrangements for the other four acting captains, Wang Ze said to a few of them: "From today, Xu Zheng and Zhu Bofu are officially promoted to the position of cavalry captains of the White Wolf Battalion!" ”
Nodding at the two of them, he then turned to face the other four and said, "The four of you are rare warriors, just because I didn't think about it, resulting in the ability of a few of you to not be able to play in the White Wolf Battalion, I decided to set up a new battalion in a few months, called the armored cavalry, you will first learn how the armored cavalry fought in the Northern Wei Dynasty during this time, and I will conduct an assessment in a few months." ”
Looking at the four people in front of him, who were first depressed and then happy, Wang Ze said: "You are all 'elite' heroes who I personally selected, and you are still the acting captain of the newly formed armored cavalry, but if you don't work hard in the future, I don't need to say more, naturally someone will take your place!" ”
Before leaving, Wang Ze thought about it again and said to a few people: "In a few days it will be the Dragon Boat Festival, and I will organize a martial arts competition a few days after the festival, you have to come on!" ”
After telling a few people about the martial arts competition to be held after the Dragon Boat Festival, Wang Ze turned around and walked out, leaving a few people in the tent speechless.
At this time, Xu Zheng said to Zhu Bofu: "Brother Bofu, you and Xiao Langjun have always been very familiar, why don't you go and find out, what is going on in this martial arts competition!" ”
As soon as Zhu Bofu heard Xu Zheng's words, he also felt that this was the case, so he immediately got out of the big tent and chased after Wang Ze's back in the distance.
Looking at Zhu Bofu, who was running out of breath, Wang Ze said to him angrily: "Big brother, if you don't ride a horse, look at what you are panting like!" ”
As he spoke, he stopped and waited for Zhu Bofu, and asked, "What is the eldest brother looking for me?" ”
Seeing Wang Ze ask himself, Zhu Bofu was not very polite: "Da Lang, what kind of competition are you talking about?" Is it related to the armored cavalry battalion to be established later? ”
Wang Ze looked at Zhu Bofu with a smile and said, "Big brother, this is what someone else asked you to ask, right?" I told you that it's okay for you to talk to a few of them, but don't spread the word! If only you knew! ”
Zhu Bofu made a deaf look.
Wang Ze said: "This has nothing to do with armored cavalry, who said that I only set up a new battalion leader?" In this game, I will select a group of people to join the White Wolf Camp and expand it to a team of 1,000 people. You'll also be participating in some of the competitions at that time. In addition, more than 1,000 people will be selected to form a new battalion head, the exact type of battalion is kept secret. ”
Looking at Zhu Bofu in front of him with a curious expression, Wang Ze continued: "This battalion will know when the time comes, I only said that after the expansion of the White Wolf Battalion, I will give you two months to study and train." In two months, I will arrange another big competition, when the time will be to compete for the three captains of the White Wolf Battalion, and the captains of the White Wolf Battalion will be re-selected! ”
Wang Ze and Zhu Bofu said as they gradually walked away
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yan Xiaowu is very busy, since the beginning of summer at the end of March, the sister-in-law came to the island with four or five nephews on the first fleet loaded with immigrants, Yan Xiaowu has been busy helping the eldest brother Yan Boss arrange various matters at home.
Boss Yeom has been in charge of various farming matters on the island since he came to Jeju Island with the Agricultural College during the New Year.
In the past, I was busy planning the entire Jeju Island, but now I am busy instructing the immigrants from each village to start production and construction.
As a result, when his wife and children came to Jeju Island, his own ranch did not even have the shadow of a fence, and even the house where he lived was built together when Zheng Kui organized Tamna slaves to build a migrant house.
Therefore, Boss Yan, who was busy and had no time to deal with his family's affairs, had to entrust his younger brother Yan Xiaowu to help him.
Yan Xiaowu no longer lives with Boss Yan now, he now has his own home on the island, although he has not yet married a wife, but a few months ago he was assigned a Tamluo 'daughter' to take him as a concubine.
At that time, when Yan Xiaowu went to select with a group of captain-level sergeants, he saw her at a glance, although the 'girl' was not beautiful, but she also had a gentle and lovely appearance, and her eyes were uneasy, like a timid injured fawn.
It seems that she is fifteen or sixteen years old, Yan Xiaowu did not hesitate to choose her immediately, and after taking this Tamna 'girl' home, Xiao Wu arranged a room for her alone.
In the first few days, it was Yan Xiaowu who cooked for her every day and sent her to the room, and when Yan Xiaowu left, the 'girl' of Tanluo would eat the food in the bowl.
One day a month later, Yan Xiaowu, who was the captain of the herdsmen's cavalry, came back from training and found that the dirty clothes that he hadn't had time to wash were actually washed and dried in the courtyard, and there were still prepared meals in the stove room and warm in the pot.
Seeing this, Yan Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, he didn't make a sound, and after eating all the meals without interest, he cleaned up.
Every day after Yan Xiaowu went home, someone cooked and washed for him, although the 'girl' of Tamluo did not speak, but Yan Xiaowu still felt at home.
Since his sister-in-law came to the island with several nephews, Yan Xiaowu took a leave from Zheng Kui and went to help her sister-in-law build a ranch every day.
From the beginning, I led my sister-in-law to confirm her family's pasture, receive cattle, sheep, horses and other things; In the back, the boundary pillars of the land should be buried deeply, fences should be set up at the edges to prevent cattle and sheep from getting lost, cattle and sheep should be branded with stamps, and a series of things such as alfalfa and other fine pasture grass should be handled by themselves.
On this day, Yan Xiaowu got up early and ate a meal cooked for him by the Tamna 'girl', although the Tamna 'girl' could only cook some simple meals, Xiao Wu felt that he was eating very appetizingly.
After breakfast, Yan Xiaowu went to Yan's family as usual to help his sister-in-law take care of the ranch, and today I went over to check it well, tidy up the livestock shed, and then teach my nephews how to manage a large number of cattle and sheep.
All of a sudden, from Lixia to now, now it has just passed the mango seed, and it will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, and his holiday is almost a month.
Yan Xiaowu was thinking about his thoughts while walking, he had already delayed a month's vacation for the cavalry militia, and if he didn't go to training again, he was afraid that he would be reprimanded by Zheng Kui.
Xiao Wu was walking in a hurry, and suddenly saw many young men in front of the Ming Pavilion in the corner of the square in the center of the village, huddled together as if they were looking at something, so they also curiously squeezed over to take a look.
According to some so-called well-known accounts in later generations, this incident proved that the Chinese love to watch the inferior root 'sex' or something.
However, I don't know that Yanhuang Huaxia has had the habit of pasting some laws and regulations in squares and other places where people gather to announce them to ordinary people since ancient times.
Today's Huabiao, in ancient times, was used by ordinary people to redress their grievances, and when someone was wronged, they would write their grievances on it and show it clearly.
For thousands of years, Chinese have carved these into their genes and developed the habit of paying attention to current affairs at any time.
When Yan Xiaowu came to the Mingshi Pavilion, hundreds of people had already gathered here, and some people were talking loudly while watching.
It turned out that a notice was posted on the express pavilion and written by Xiaolang Jun Wang Ze himself, stating: The White Wolf Battalion will be expanded into a cavalry battalion of 1,000 people, and after the third day of the Dragon Boat Festival in May, a martial arts competition will be held, and the outstanding ones will be selected from the participants of the conference to fill the White Wolf Battalion.
However, at the end of the notice, it was stated that the contestants could not be older than 30 years old, but they could join another newly formed infantry battalion, called the Blue Wolf Battalion.
There is no writing about what is going on with the Blue Wolf Battalion, and many people are just arguing with each other about what type of troops the Blue Wolf Battalion is.
Yan Xiaowu squeezed out of the crowd after reading the notice, but he couldn't calm down for a long time, he was not yet twenty-two years old this year, and it should be no problem to participate in the White Wolf Camp.
In this way, Yan Xiaowu didn't have any 'spirits' all day, and when Yan Xiaowu was helping to renovate the cowshed at his sister-in-law's house, Yan Xiaowu almost fell off it.
The sister-in-law next to her saw that the little uncle was not 'fine', and thought that Yan Xiaowu had finally opened her mind and fell in love with a girl from which family.
Who knew that Yan's sister-in-law joked that she knew the news that Wang Ze's White Wolf Camp was going to be expanded, and immediately expressed her support for Yan Xiaowu to participate in the competition.
Sister-in-law Yan said: "What is the specific matter, our 'woman' Taoist family doesn't know and doesn't know how to say it, but it's definitely right to follow Xiao Langjun, you can't suffer a loss, Xiao Langjun is the reincarnation of an immortal!" ”
Hearing her sister-in-law say this, Yan Xiaowu finally made up her mind to sign up on the second day to participate in the martial arts competition after the Dragon Boat Festival.
The time finally came to the third day after the Dragon Boat Festival, Yan Xiaowu ate the sumptuous breakfast prepared for him by the 'girl' of Tamluo early, and came to the square of the competition.
This square is a central square in the future new city, and this time because Wang Ze needed a relatively large venue, he chose to hold it here.
I saw a 'tide' of people surging in the square, and I am afraid that nearly 20,000 people came, and at this time, there were only about 40,000 immigrants on the entire island!
Now it is estimated that at least 5,000 people will come to participate in the martial arts competition, Yan Xiaowu muttered in his heart, it seems that the pressure is not small.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Yan Xiaowu squeezed into the square, he had already registered a few days ago, this time he could go directly to the competition area inside.
In the competition area, Yan Xiaowu saw many teenagers, probably not even fifteen years old! But then I also saw a man with a long beard, big brother, people require you to be under thirty years old, you look like you are at least forty, right? Yan Xiaowu slandered in his heart.
Jeju Island in the fifth month of the lunar calendar is indeed a little hot, early in the morning, the sun will sting people who can't open their eyes, look left and right, and find a 'yin' shadow of the big flag to prepare for a rest.
Now close your eyes and recuperate, and then perform well after the meeting, and then you will definitely go all out, Yan Xiaowu made up his mind.
Seeing that the time was approaching, Wang Ze, Jiang Chuan and others, who presided over the competition, finally came to the scene, Wang Ze announced that this competition is still the priority of those who are excellent in riding, but if there are those who are really outstanding in martial arts, regardless of age, they will be in the admission range.
Yan Xiaowu listened to Wang Ze's words and was convinced, he could only be regarded as a hundred generals in terms of martial arts, but he was really a master in terms of horsemanship.
Although Shanzhai has been encouraging people to learn to ride horses since a few years ago, the number of horses is small, and the cost of raising horses is also higher.
Except for nearly half of the families in the cottage, there are people who raise horses to practice riding, and few people in other Tuntian districts practice equestrianism.
That is, when Yan Xiaowu took advantage of Boss Yan as a village chief in Muping Tuntian District, he took the opportunity to raise horses and learned a lot of skills from the old people in the cottage who were good at riding.
Hearing that it was what he was good at, Yan Xiaowu immediately stretched out his hand.
When it was Yan Xiaowu's turn to play, at first he only galloped for a distance, and then began all kinds of thrilling actions.
Everyone outside the field saw Yan Xiaowu on the horse, standing on the horseback with his feet for a while, and doing all kinds of thrilling actions on the horse for a while.
There was even a time when the whole person was suddenly hidden behind the horse, making the ordinary people outside the field think that the person had fallen, and it also caused a panic, until Yan Xiaowu sat firmly on the saddle again, and a burst of cheers broke out outside the field.
Wang Ze on the stage had already recognized Yan Xiaowu on the field, and looked at his skillful equestrian movements, and couldn't stop nodding.
