The capital, the Shenji camp will be in the platform.

Zhang Yun took Xu Chengye and Zhu Dingguo, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, to stand on the high platform.

Although Wanli gave Zhang Yun 5,000 places, recruiting troops was a headache.

Zhang Yun originally planned to recruit all the children of the good family, but Wang Zhong suggested that 500 veterans be selected, plus 4,500 recruits, which was just right.

After Zhang Yun and Wanli asked for instructions, Wanli agreed happily.

This Beijing camp has been under the control of the royal family since ancient times, and it is the first time that a person like Zhang Yun has gone to the Beijing camp to pick people.

The soldiers in the audience whispered and looked at the young man next to Zhu Dingguo with a puzzled expression, most of them knew Xu Chengye, but Zhang Yun was a fresh face.

"Silence!" Zhu Dingguo looked at the soldiers chattering in the audience and shouted.

After seeing that the audience was quiet, Zhu Dingguo cleared his throat and shouted: "This is Zhang Yun, Lord Zhang, he was ordered by the emperor to organize and train a new army, and now he wants to transfer five hundred soldiers from our Shenji Battalion, you behave well, don't weaken the prestige of our Shenji Battalion." ”

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Zhang Yun, and then made a gesture of please on his side.

After Zhang Yun returned the salute to him, he walked to the center of the high platform and shouted: "Brothers, I am ordered by the emperor to organize and train a new army. ”

As soon as Zhang Yun's words came out, the audience instantly exploded, and there were many discussions.

"It's not going to be a joke, it's a good thing."

"I heard that Master Zhang will do what he says, so he should disdain to say such big things."

"I heard that there is no one in his new army yet, let's go, at least we can mix a small flag."

Some people frowned and said, "I'm afraid this selection is not easy." ”

Zhang Yun looked at the audience, and the emotions were mobilized, and the soldiers were overjoyed.

Subsequently, the assessment items were announced.

I saw Zhang Yun holding the ground with both hands, bending his arms, and then leaning on his arms to exert force and stand up.

Zhang Yun stood up, patted the ash on his hands, and said with a smile: "How about it, the first project is simple, 50 within two minutes are considered passing, and 70 are considered excellent." ”

"The second event, the five-kilometer trail run, if anyone finishes it within a stick of incense, I will count you as qualified, of course, the faster the better."

"The third sport, equestrian, is riding around obstacles, the faster the better."

"The fourth event, target shooting, hit 10 times, hit 3 times to be qualified, hit 7 times to be considered excellent."

"There can only be one unqualified of the above requirements at most."

After hearing this, the soldiers didn't think it was too difficult, and they were eager to try, Zhang Yun secretly laughed, and said secretly in his heart: "Wait for a time when you cry." ”

Zhu Dingguo was also the first time to see such a strange way of recruiting, so he was interested in it, so he had to follow Zhang Yun to see it.

When the "one, two, three......" push-up test began, many soldiers fell down, and their movements were instantly deformed.

In this way, many soldiers blushed and tried their best to eat milk, but it was difficult to complete Zhang Yun's assessment.

After the first round of tests, there were forty percent less soldiers, Zhu Dingguo looked at this number, his face turned pale, and he scolded angrily: "A group of waste, you usually put all your strength on the belly of women, right?" ”

The soldiers who failed to meet the test in the first round all bowed their heads and blushed with shame.

However, they were not eliminated, and there was still one chance, as long as they were all above the passing grade in the later tests, and there was another excellent subject, they could also be selected.

In the second round of testing the five-kilometer weight-bearing cross-country, Zhang Yun asked the soldiers to put their firearms on their backs, and the soldiers complained bitterly, but they had to accept Zhang Yun's order.

Many soldiers couldn't run halfway through and sat paralyzed in place, Zhang Yun frowned and shook his head after seeing it.

Zhu Dingguo looked at Zhang Yun's expression, and then at his own soldiers, his face changed.

Xu Chengye on the side was busy playing a round, and said with a smile: "Zhang Yun, your test is too difficult, our soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are all good players." ”

Zhu Dingguo listened to Xu Chengye's praise, and thought about his soldier's unbearable appearance, his face was full of embarrassment.

Zhang Yun secretly said in his heart: "If this is placed in the future generations, it will be just the passing standard of the army test." ”

"It is conceivable how poor their physical fitness is, and it is estimated that they do not even have the most basic physical training."

After a stick of incense burned out, there were less than 3,000 people left on the field.

A man of about forty-eight or nine standing in the first place attracted Zhang Yun's attention, and after he finished running, he stood there calmly.

Zhang Yun hurriedly called someone to bring the test records and found that he was excellent in both tests.

Zhang Yun suddenly became interested.

Immediately afterwards, the man passed the equestrian test and got an excellent shooting test.

Good guys, three of the four exams are excellent.

Zhang Yun walked up to him and looked at the man.

Although he is nearly half a hundred years old and his temples are gray, his eyes are still bright.

Zhang Yun learned that the old man's name was Shi Kai, and he was a military household of the Shenji Battalion, and he had been serving in the Shenji Battalion since he was 20 years old, and it had been almost 30 years now.

Zhang Yun asked Zhu Dingguo again, "Why is he just a small flag now, it stands to reason that he shouldn't." ”

Zhu Dingguo couldn't say it for a long time, and Zhang Yun probably guessed it, probably offending the people above.

Otherwise, with his ability, it is not too much to be a thousand presidents.

Zhang Yun hammered his chest and said, "The veteran is not dead!" ”

Shi Kai responded with a smile.

Zhang Yun stood on the high platform and announced: "A total of 450 people have been recruited this time, you are all very good, congratulations on becoming my brother." ”

"Shi Kai, the three doors are excellent in the assessment, and now they are promoted to 100 households."

After Shi Kai heard this, tears welled up in his eyes.

The 450 people recruited this time are all good players, of course, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who followed Zhang Yun before, of course, Zhang Yun accepted them all, and they didn't need to be tested.

After all, they followed Zhang Yun from birth to death, and they were loyal enough to Zhang Yun, even if the conditions were a little worse, they were acceptable.

In this way, Zhang Yun recruited more than 600 people.

Zhang Yun saw that the recruitment work was almost completed, and joked to Xu Chengye: "Why don't you come to me too?" Be my deputy? ”

Xu Chengye shook his head and responded with a smile: "Then I'm not half a head lower than you?" No, no. ”

Zhang Yun was not reluctant, saying that as long as Xu Chengye was willing, he would welcome him at any time.

Today's biggest gain for Zhang Yun is, of course, the discovery of a veteran like Shi Kai, maybe when the time comes, he will be able to be a thousand households and help Zhang Yun a lot.

On the way back, Zhang Yun was also thinking about how to settle soldiers when they were old.

After all, everyone is not like Shi Kai, who is extremely talented, and when most soldiers get old, their physical strength will definitely not be comparable to that of young people.

At this time, leaving them in the barracks is a waste of national resources, if they are driven out of the barracks, they will be soldiers all their lives, and they will have no means of livelihood, I am afraid that it will not work.

Zhang Yun had a headache, like a soldier who retired and changed jobs in later generations, and the current Ming Dynasty is afraid that he can't afford it.

"Alas, it's still poor, and there is really no rule of law when poor and sick." Zhang Yun complained inwardly.

Now, what Zhang Yun wants is to make money quickly, the army is a gold-swallowing monster.

His own army of 5,000 people, the emperor estimated that it was paid according to the normal military salary, but he promised double the military salary.

Zhang's Mansion.

"Really? That's great. Xu Xi exclaimed.

Just now, Zhang Yun told her that she was going to take her to train soldiers, and she could finally realize her value.

Zhang Yun looked at Xu Xi, who was full of excitement, and his face was also full of smiles.

Xu Meng, who was on the side, said with some concern: "Virtuous son-in-law, since ancient times, there have been women leading the troops, and my daughter has been spoiled by me." ”

"She has had no interest in needlework since she was a child, but she likes to dance with knives and guns, so much so that she is in today's situation."

After Xu Xi heard this, he snorted coldly and turned his head sideways.

Zhang Yun hurriedly played a round and said with a smile: "Sister is my bodyguard, with her, I will no longer be afraid of villains." ”

After hearing this, Xu Xi turned his head, raised his chin, and looked at Xu Meng proudly, as if to say: "You don't know the goods, some people know the goods." ”

Xu Meng wanted to continue the theory, but was interrupted by Zhang Yun waving his hand, and Xu Meng had to accept this fact.
