But the next few conditions are a bit excessive, first of all, he only needs young people under the age of eighteen, and no one over the age of eighteen!

The second condition is that they must be literate and be able to write, which is okay, because all the current Yanyun recruits are literate.

The third condition was a musket shooting test, which made many brothers retreat, and the fourth condition was that they must be able to read military maps......

Looking at the map? Isn't that the business of the chiefs?

You let us soldiers see what this thing is for!

If you can read and write, you can go to the university hall to find those students of the military academy, if you can shoot muskets, you can go to the musket camp, and if you can read military maps, you can go to those heavenly artillery wingers......

It's not you, what kind of army is Long Xiangwei, so demanding?

It feels more difficult than entering the Heavenly Army, but you are not the Heavenly Army, nor the Navy, nor the heavy cavalry, nor the light cavalry, nor the musketeers, nor the artillery, after all, you are just infantry, what is there to pretend to be forced by us?

Long Xiangwei's recruitment standards are indeed higher than those of the Heavenly Army, because many Heavenly Army brothers came to join in the fun and wanted to prove what is called the elite of the elite, but they were all slapped in the face.

Because their musket shooting test was not qualified, they were also equipped with the most advanced repeating revolver in Yanyun County, but the test of Long Xiangwei was not a pistol, but a long spear, and the shooting distance was a hundred paces.

Moreover, it is required that all ten shots must be hit at the target, and not even one shot that misses the target......

made these proud sons of heaven who frequently missed the target extremely embarrassed, and they all scolded and scolded when they left.

Many of the musket battalion soldiers did well in the shooting test, but they were either over their age, illiterate, or could not read maps at all, and were ruthlessly eliminated.

The Xiao Cavalry Guard, the Flying Wing Guard, and even some of the brothers of the Yu Lin Guard who were far away in Gaojuli all came to hear the news and wanted to challenge the strict standards of the Long Xiang Guard, but most of them returned with a feather...... Everyone didn't think they couldn't do it, but firmly believed that Captain Li of Long Xiangwei was a madman.

Because several famous madmen in Yanyun County are as nitpicking as he is.

But it was these madmen who created a new era in Yanyun County, the big madman Lei Maniac made the most advanced musket artillery, the second madman Liu Fuhai created a cross-era hot air balloon, and the third madman Wu Xiuping created a telescope, a bicycle, and a car......

So, the four madmen, Captain Li, what do you want to invent and create? Is the world invincible?

Although Long Xiangwei's recruitment standards are strict to the point of being perverted, there are still more than 500 perverted guys who have passed all the tests and officially become a member of Long Xiangwei.

Among them, there was a kid who almost reached the full score standard in all tests, which shocked Li Haibo, because he had known this kid for a long time, and he hadn't seen that he had such a great ability before......

Xiao Chen listened to Li Haibo's report and expressed his satisfaction, it's no problem to be strict, our main focus is an elite, and the principle is that it is better to lack than to abuse!

Five hundred people is not a small number, there were not so many people when the Xiao Cavalry Guard Flying Wing Guard was established, and of course, we didn't have so many talents in Yanyun County at that time......

Why did you choose a champion? Who gave Ben Boss me a long face like this? Call him over to meet the boss in person and get a big reward!

Xiao Chen has always liked talents.

But when Li Haibo said the name of this talent, Xiao Chen thought that he had heard it wrong, "Who?" Xiao Ye? That stupid boy can shoot a gun? ”

As Xiao Ye's eldest brother, he didn't know that his younger brother not only knew how to shoot, but also had accurate marksmanship, which could be said to be the first person in Yanyun......

Xiao Ye has long been literate, this is all forced by Xiao Chen, threatening that if you kid can't learn to read and write, I will dig out your good eyes, because if you can't read, what's the difference between being blind and opening your eyes?

When your brother and I were your age, we could write poems, is this bragging to you?

As for how Xiao Ye could look at the map?

That's because every time Xiao Chen, Wanyan, Xiaosheng, Dugulou, Lin Yue and a few of them studied military affairs in Xiao Chen's White Tiger Hall, he watched quietly from the sidelines, and after watching for a long time, he would naturally be self-taught.

It's a pity that Li Haibo, such an outstanding talent, can't be included in his command, because Xiao Ye is just having fun to participate in the selection, but he doesn't really want to join the Long Xiang army, and besides, Xiao Ye is the boss of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, what's the matter with joining your Long Xiang Wei?

Li Haibo is only a lieutenant now, but Xiao Ye is a general, if he joins, then who will lead whom?

But although Li Haibo is only a school captain, he is also the same as the two little generals of the Xiao Cavalry Guard and the Flying Wing Guard, and he is not under the control of Zhuge Xiaosheng, the generalissimo of Yanyun's soldiers and horses, but is directly responsible to Xiao Chen.

He came to Xiao Chen to ask for money and equipment, I am responsible for your boss, and your boss has to be responsible for me......

In fact, Xiao Chen originally wanted to hand over Long Xiangwei to Xiao Sheng, but Xiao Sheng refused.

Two reasons.

First, he really doesn't understand the mode of modern warfare, and he can't fully understand many of the tactical ideas put forward by Li Haibo, and he can't even understand what kind of role Long Xiangwei will play in the future and what kind of impact he will have on Yan Yunjun.

If you still can't figure out this, then it's better not to interfere and let Li Haibo form the troops first.

Second, he knew that the unit that Li Haibo was going to set up would be particularly money-burning, and the formation process would be very troublesome.

Because Li Haibo once said that he wanted to build a 'mobile force', the vehicle was not a traditional war horse, but a car that Yanyun County had just invented!

According to him, a force of 500 people needs at least 50 vehicles, and this is only the most basic configuration.

He also has high requirements for weapons, and is very dissatisfied with the most advanced muskets produced by the Yanyun County Arsenal at present, and hopes to make a lot of improvements under his suggestion.

In addition, Li Haibo also hoped that the arsenal could develop a small-caliber light artillery that was easy to carry as soon as possible, what is it called?

Zhuge Xiaosheng only knew about cannons, not what small cannons, but what he knew was that if Yanyun Arsenal received the task of manufacturing this kind of mortar that Li Haibo said, the madman would definitely go crazy again!

Zhuge Xiaosheng, as the generalissimo of Yanyun's soldiers and horses, has every opportunity, and he is busy hitting the back of his head every day, and he really doesn't have the energy to meet Li Haibo's whimsical requirements, and Li Haibo is obviously a person who will never give up until he achieves his goal......

In addition, the military expenditure of Li Haibo's army will be particularly huge! Not to mention anything else, how much silver does fifty cars cost?

Now the car has just been invented, and it has not yet been mass-produced, and I heard Wu Xiuping say that even if it can be mass-produced in the future, the output is quite limited, and the cost of each car must be at least 50,000 taels of silver!

Fifty cars are two and a half million taels of silver......

How much silver does the special Yan Yunjun's military spending add up to for a year?
