Although the winter in Fujian is not as cold as in the north, the cold wind will still penetrate into the cracks of people's bones, making people uncomfortable.

Outside the south gate of the Yongning Acropolis, a group of guards wearing mandarin duck jackets were standing in a loose formation on the school ground. Today's wind is a little strong, and the eyes of the soldiers are a little unable to open.

"His grandmother's, Lao Tzu got up in the morning and didn't even eat a hot meal to come here to drink the northwest wind, why haven't you come here for so long!" A thin soldier with high cheekbones and a vegetable-looking face muttered and cursed.

"It's said that the new commander Tongzhi wants to review our armaments and reorganize the guardhouse, I heard that the commander has already agreed!" Another thin soldier sucked in the snot that was about to drip to his mouth and whispered.

The soldier with a vegetable-colored face next to him smiled disdainfully when he heard this, and tightened his mandarin duck jacket with his hand, which had been torn everywhere.

"Whole ball, Lao Tzu's grandfather's generation is the military household of Yongningwei, since my father was a child, he has not eaten a few full meals, and the few acres of land planted by our poor military households are not enough to pay rent to the imperial court.

I heard that the new acquaintance is the son of Lord Yang, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old chick, and he can make a fart! You're right, Lord Hyakohe? Jun Han said and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, expressing his dissatisfaction while facing Hu Er, a hundred households standing beside him.

Hu Er glared at the two broken-mouthed military men fiercely, and did not reply, in fact, in his heart, he did not take this newcomer Tongzhi in his eyes, the iron-beaten official of the guard, no matter who came, he was the same.

At this moment, a young general dressed in a mountain armor rushed to the school field surrounded by more than a dozen personal soldiers, followed by two blonde and blue-eyed Yiren.

It was Yang Yingqian, Sun Dayong and others who came, and after dealing with the merchant ships and tobacco yesterday, Yang Yingqian was ready to start training the troops, and before that, he needed to see what level the remaining people of Yongningwei were.

Although he had been mentally prepared before coming, Yang Yingqian was still taken aback when he arrived at the school grounds.

Most of these people in front of them are skinny and full of vegetables, looking malnourished, and the mandarin duck jackets on their bodies are also in tatters, I don't know that they have been wearing them for several years, full of patches, such a group of people, saying that they are beggars and some people believe that such an army, if they meet the Houjin Tartars, it is really difficult to expect them to have any combat power.

At this moment, a junior officer dressed in cotton armor stepped out of the crowd, and the new cotton armor could not hide his slightly bulging belly.

"Xiaguan Chengguan 100 households and 100 households temporarily patrol the city 1000 households Hu Er, I have seen adults!" Hu Er came to Yang Yingqian's side and casually arched his hand to worship.

Yang Yingqian didn't seem to see Hu Er's contemptuous eyes, but nodded with a smile and said, "Hu Qianhu has worked hard, are all the military households of Yongningwei here?" ”

"Lord Hui, all the military households of the five thousand households under the jurisdiction of the Wei Institute, a total of 824 people, are here." Hu Er's answer was still very casual.

Yang Yingqian didn't care, but glanced at the crowd in front of him, and found that there were four generals dressed in the costumes of a hundred households.

Thinking of this, Yang Yingqian took a step forward and said loudly: "Brothers, I am the new commander of Yongningwei and Yang Yingqian, the commander of the command of Lord Cao who intends to rearm Yongningwei, and I am specially ordered to train you!" ”

As soon as Yang Yingqian's words fell, a burst of whispers surged in the crowd, and a trace of disdain flashed on the face of Hu Er, who was standing in front of the person.

Yang Yingqian seemed to hear these whispers, and gave Sun Dayong a look behind him, Sun Dayong willingly called two pro-soldiers behind him, and the two pro-soldiers carried heavy pockets on their backs, and the pockets made a heavy collision sound on the ground.

"This official knows that the military household is miserable, facing the loess with his back to the sky and digging from the ground, not to mention how much food he can't save in a year, and his wife and children will starve!"

The military households didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of this fellow acquaintance, and suddenly the school field became silent.

Yang Yingqian took a step forward and untied the two cloth bags in front of him, and the silver of the white flowers was suddenly exposed from inside, and all the military households at the scene were stunned.

"This is two hundred taels of silver, which this official brought to reward you today! However, if you want to take this silver, there is one condition! ”

Yang Yingqian paused, although everyone in front of him did not speak, but their eyes had already been hooked by the two bags of silver on the ground.

"The condition is that from here on, run around the Acropolis, and the first two hundred people to come back will be one or two pieces of silver each!"

As soon as Yang Yingqian's words fell, the military households exploded among themselves, all saying that this Tongzhi had no water in his brain, and he had nothing to do with money.

"Your Excellency, aren't you entertaining us?" At this time, Hu Er on the side suddenly said gloomily, Yongning Acropolis has to go more than ten miles to say the least, these people have not exercised for a long time, and it is estimated that half of their lives are lost when they run this lap.

Yang Yingqian didn't get angry when he heard this, but smiled: "If you don't feel at ease, then this official will take this as the first military order after taking office, from a thousand households, all run around the Acropolis, I will let my personal army captain follow on horseback, stealing and playing tricks, and the military law will deal with it!" ”

At this moment, a thick voice sounded from the crowd: "I said that you people are grinding and chirping like a girl, and the adults have given orders, what are you rubbing!" My lord, I'm running first! ”

As soon as the words fell, a stout man with a figure like an iron tower squeezed out of the crowd, hugged his fists at Yang Yingqian, and ran out before Yang Yingqian could see his appearance carefully.

With this strong man taking the lead, the rest of the military households also ran one after another, only Hu Er and the two hundred households behind him with more than a dozen irons did not move, Yang Yingqian just glanced at them and ignored them.

About half an hour later, people had already run back one after another, and the leader was still the burly man just now.

At this time, Yang Yingqian finally saw his appearance clearly, he was about nine feet tall, his inverted triangular figure was like a hill, and his sun-tanned face had a circle of beards, and he was reincarnated as a Li Kui.

Not long after, the strong man had already run in front of Yang Yingqian, Yang Yingqian observed carefully, the strong man's chest only rose and fell slightly, and there was not too much sweat on his forehead, Yang Yingqian suddenly felt that the strong man in front of him was unusual.

"My lord, I'm back, can I give money?" The strong man looked at Yang Yingqian with a smile on his face.

Yang Yingqian laughed: "Of course you can!" ”

Immediately, he took out a small ingot, a tael from the cloth bag, and handed it to the strong man.

"What's your name, but do you know martial arts?"

The strong man took the silver and smiled, originally he just ran away with the attitude of trying it out, but he didn't expect this newcomer to be so trustworthy, and his perception of Yang Yingqian was much better at the moment.

"Back to the adult, the little Yongningwei Xiaoqi Liu Da Niu! My father was the general flag of the guard before his death, and the little one followed his father to learn a few hands and feet since he was a child, not a small bragging, a hundred pounds of big stones on Chaoyang Mountain, I can pick up two! Liu Daniu said with a simple smile.

Yang Yingqian liked the character of Liu Da Niu in front of him very much, and smiled slightly: "Da Niu, are you willing to be a personal soldier by the side of this official?" ”

Liu Daniu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said in embarrassment: "But my lord, I eat a lot, and I can eat two or three catties of miscellaneous grain cakes, do you have so much grain?" ”

Seeing the appearance of this living treasure, Yang Yingqian couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, you can't help but be able to eat with this official, and you will have a monthly salary!" ”

Hearing Yang Yingqian say this, Liu Daniu's mouth was almost to the sky: "I haven't eaten enough since my mother died, now it's okay, I'm not afraid of starvation in the future!" ”

During the period of talking to Liu Daniu, the military households ran back one after another, these military households were usually malnourished, and suddenly exercised vigorously, one by one they were tired and sweating and panting like cattle, and a few serious ones even squatted on the ground and vomited.

However, among the 200 people running in front, there were also a considerable number of people with good physical fitness, and Yang Yingqian instructed Sun Dayong to write down the meaning of their names, and gave each of the 200 military households running in front of him a tael of silver.

The soldiers who got the silver were very happy and thanked Yang Yingqian with their fists.

Yang Yingqian raised his hands and made a slight silent gesture, and the scene was suddenly silent, and then he cleared his throat and said.

"The official is doing this today, just to tell you that as long as you obey the military order, what the official promised will definitely be fulfilled, and the brothers who have not received the money today should not be discouraged, the official is here to assure you that your days of not having enough food and clothing will end from today!"

Listening to Yang Yingqian's generous statement, there are still some people who are still skeptical in their eyes, but in the eyes of a considerable number of people, the long-lost hope seems to be rekindled.

"However, since we are officers and soldiers, we must abide by military law!"

When Yang Yingqian said this, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and his cold eyes shot at Hu Er, who was standing in the front row.

"Hu Qianhu, since the official is standing here, you have disobeyed the yang and the yin, and you have not taken the military orders of the official in your eyes at all, you really think that the official can't govern you! Someone! ”

With Yang Yingqian's shout, Hu Er was pressed to the ground by Sun Dayong and five or six personal soldiers together with the two hundred households behind him.

"Hu Er and the other three despise military law, give me a heavy beating of fifty military sticks, cut off the military positions of three people, and drive out Yongningwei!"

Seeing that Yang Yingqian was coming to the real thing, Hu Er also panicked, and shouted at the moment: "The surname Yang, if you dare to touch me, Lord Cao will not let you go, Yongningwei will have me left with a team of thousands of households!" ”

Listening to Hu Er's disappearing figure and the screams that followed, Yang Yingqian sneered and looked at the dozen or so military households who followed Hu Er and the three people who did not obey the order just now.

"Today, I will remember your first offense, and I will write down the punishment, and if you dare to commit it again in the future, you will be severely punished!" Immediately waved his hand, and the dozen or so military households hurriedly stood aside tremblingly.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of these military households in front of him, Yang Yingqian knew that he had achieved the desired effect. Sure enough, slaps and sweet dates are very important!
