A few days later, the Lingshan Acropolis school field.

After rigorous screening, a total of more than 8,100 young people finally passed the second round of tests, and all of them have been assembled in the school yard at this time.

It didn't take long for Liu Yan to lead the three hundred new army soldiers of the personal guard battalion to the school field, and the three hundred new army soldiers with helmets and armor were majestic, which was completely different from the guards and horses that the people saw on weekdays.

Liu Yan strode to the high platform in the school yard, and the armor pieces on his body made a sound, attracting everyone's attention, and Miao Shao, the head of the guard camp, clasped his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, all the young people have been assembled, please show me!" ”

Liu Yan sat in the center of the high platform, his eyes swept over the crowd of black pressure under the stage, there was an indescribable joy in his heart, and he said loudly: "The third round of selection, let's start." ”

"Order!"

More than 8,000 young men were immediately dispersed, and every 300 or so people were formed into a team, and a team of officers and men of the New Army was responsible for screening, focusing on inquiring and investigating the purpose of these young men joining the army, their family conditions, and whether they had committed adultery and crimes.

Then there will be a basic knowledge quiz on all young people, and everyone will be scored, according to the situation asked, the passing line will be delineated, and the final score will be eliminated if it does not cross the line.

Looking at the hot scene in the school field, Liu Yan had no intention of participating in the specific affairs, so he asked Miao Shao: "In the screening in the past few days, are there any outstanding talents?" ”

Miao Shao took out a form and said: "Lord Qiqi, after the first two rounds of screening, a total of one hundred and seventy-eight outstanding young men have been recorded, these people are not only very good in physical fitness, but also most of them have flexible minds, especially a few who know a few words. ”

Liu Yan asked, "Which ones know how to read?" ”

"This Zhang Xun and another named Li Hao are all young and strong soldiers of our Lingshan Guard."

"The rest of them are also young and strong in Lingshanwei's military households, and everyone is faintly led by Zhang Xun and Li Hao."

Liu Yan nodded, and then ordered: "These two people will pay attention to it, and if they can pass the third round of screening, they will be assigned a position." As for the rest of these young people, if they have good results in training, then arrange some grassroots captains, or focus on training. ”

"Order!"

After more than an hour, the third round of screening ended.

Eight thousand young people, including Zhang Xun and Li Hao, stood out, and although the remaining more than 100 young men were not selected into the new army, these young men were all good seedlings, and they were all first-class good soldiers in other guards, so Liu Yan naturally would not let go.

On the high platform, Liu Yan was dressed in imperial iron armor, shining under the sun, and in the eyes of thousands of people in the audience, he was like a heavenly soldier and a general, although the cold wind was gusting at this time, but it also ignited the fire in everyone's hearts, making all the young people feel a burst of fire in their hearts.

Liu Yan immediately made an impassioned speech, positioning the new army on the eight words of protecting the country and the people, and defending China, directly distinguishing it from the Ming army in various places, so that these recruits felt that they were different from their hearts.

"The soldiers and horses that this official is preparing this time are the new army, what is the new army? To protect the territory and the people, and to defend China, if you can do these eight words, it is the new army! ”

"From now on, you must draw a clear line with the soldiers and horses of the guards and battalions in various places, you are not soldiers who show off their power and eat the common people, nor are you soldiers who are as smooth as oil and flattering, and you are not soldiers and bandits who kill good people and make meritorious deeds and are lawless! You are my Liu Yan's arms and my Liu Yan's comrades! ”

In the end, Liu Yan roared in his heart: "You will work with me to calm China and create a prosperous world!" ”

Although at this time, the thousands of young people in the audience still didn't understand it, and they didn't understand Liu Yan's expectations, but they also vaguely realized that the new army they were in was different and different from the officers and soldiers they had seen before. As for the difference, time will tell.

"Where is the chief of the guards?"

Miao Shao hugged his fists and promised.

"Bring all the recruits into the military camp in the south of the city, complete the reorganization within ten days, and start the drill!"

"Order!"

"Where is the defense officer of the Nakachiho Office?"

Jia Hongyu hurriedly clenched his fists and promised.

Liu Yan pointed to the more than 100 unsuccessful young men in the audience, and said to Jia Hongyu: "Although these young men have not been selected into the new army, they are also first-class good seedlings. ”

"Order!"

The more than 100 unsuccessful young men were still in a depressed mood at first, and at this time, they suddenly heard that the Master of Ethics was going to reorganize the soldiers and horses of the thousands of households, and they were immediately ecstatic.

Although the soldiers in the middle thousands of households will not have 100 acres of arable land and generous military salaries, they will also have a stable salary, so they can get rid of the original poor life, and it can be regarded as a good ending.

Suddenly, I don't know who took the lead, and several young people shouted long live, and the whole school field was shaken.

Miao Shao, Jia Hongyu and the other thousands of presidents and thousands of households changed color slightly, but then they calmed down as before, and looked up to Liu Yan very much.

Liu Yan's face was calm, and he calmly accepted the cheers of thousands of people, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart: money!

After this large-scale recruitment, I am afraid that a lot of the money stolen from the homes of Shen Jiuwei and others will be dispersed, and the cost of feeding thousands of soldiers and horses is amazing.

"This family is not easy to do!"

The recruits' barracks were located in the south of the city, which was originally a deserted village, but now it was opened up by Liu Yan's order to be used as a barracks for recruits' drills.

After Liu Yan entered the Acropolis of Lingshan, he ordered all battalions of new troops to be stationed in the school grounds and barracks in the city, and the recruits were stationed here.

Subsequently, Miao Shao, the commander of the guard battalion, spent a few days to build a temporary structure for recruit drills, and Zhang Xun and Li Hao were both awarded the position of captain.

Thousands of young men immediately began to practice, and Liu Yan's momentum suddenly soared. Liu Yan immediately began to divide the fields and land, divided all the cultivated land confiscated, and distributed all the farm tools, seeds, and ploughing cattle that the yamen could mobilize.

Under the arrangement of the commanding envoy Yamen, thousands of young and strong family members were also properly settled, scattered and settled in the Lingshan Acropolis and various places, where there were insufficient houses, and the yamen even organized people to build some simple houses, for which a large amount of money was inevitably spent, so that Yue Ming, the money and grain official, complained more than once. m.

Liu Yan ignored Yue Ming's complaints, but instructed Zhang Lei, the official in charge of the tun, to urge these thousands of households to hurry up and prepare for spring ploughing, and not to miss the agricultural time.

"The harvest of these thousands of households is not only related to the morale of the officers and men of the new army, but also related to the income of my Lingshanwei and the source of military food for the new army, so we must not be careless!"

Zhang Lei held back enough strength to show himself in front of Liu Yan, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Please rest assured, my subordinates will do their best." ”

After arranging the ploughing land and tuntian, Liu Yan put his mind on the training of the recruits.

Liu Yan brought Tian Huixu over and said with a smile: "I went to the recruit camp in the south of the city to take a look, and I felt that the degree of training was not enough, so I decided to increase the intensity of the training!" This is the training of the first batch of recruits, you come back with your subordinates, and see how I practice, after you go back, you must continue to maintain the intensity of the training, and you must not slack off! In the future, when our army recruits more soldiers, it will be carried out in accordance with the strategy I have set. ”

Hearing this, Tian Huixu was very uncertain in his heart, and had a premonition that Liu Yan must be thinking about something, this training is definitely not simple!

In fact, Tian Huixu's premonition is still very strong, and when he recalls this training, the word "Nineteenth Floor of the Netherworld" always pops up in his mind, which can be described as unforgettable!

According to Liu Yan's order, Miao Shao, the commander of the Qianwei Battalion, handed over the recruits to Tian Huixu after completing the training structure of the 8,000 recruits. Among this batch of recruits, the captain with the biggest official position is the captain, and the higher flag is always the existence of instructors, and veterans are drawn from the new army to fill the position.

These flags will be trained in the recruit camp a few days before a large number of recruits are stationed in the camp so that they can manage thousands of recruits.

Lingshan Acropolis, recruit camp.

After a few days of waiting, Zhang Xun and Li Hao followed the team to the recruit camp.

At this time, the recruit camp was crowded, and recruits from all over the country gathered here and were reporting for duty under the arrangement of the new army instructors and assistant soldiers.

After entering the camp, all the recruits were labeled with numbers, under the guidance of the new army officers and soldiers, everyone lined up along the extension of the camp to the left to enter, followed by the registration office, the physical examination office, the clothing office, the sundries office, and the reorganization office, each place has a special instructor to command the people, and there are many new army officers and soldiers on the side to assist, so although there are many people reporting in the camp, but it is orderly and not chaotic at all.

"Lingshanwei, Jiaozhou Shouyu Thousand Households, No. 7, Zhang Xun!"

Zhang Xun had just passed the registration office, holding a number plate indicating his identity in his hand, and then he heard the physical examination office in front of him call him, and hurriedly followed the team to the physical examination office.

"No scars, no disabilities, height eligible, not overweight, no emaciation......"

"Do you have a genetic disease in your family? Well, there have been several generations of ancestors who have had the same disease, have they not? ”

Zhang Xun hurriedly replied: "No, no, the elders and brothers in the family are all healthy. ”

"Hmm!"

Here Zhang Xun muttered in his heart: "Recruitment in other places is not refused, how can there be so many rules for adults to recruit soldiers, and even ask if the relatives at home are healthy?" Haven't they all been screened before, so why do you have to register so many things today? ”

Without waiting for Zhang Xun to understand this, he saw the official of the physical examination department tick it with a pen on his number plate, and then said, "Follow the team to get something." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Xun was secretly happy in his heart, and Li Hao, who followed behind him, was also smiling, the two of them couldn't imagine that they had entered the recruit camp, and there were still things to be sent out, at this time Zhang Xun and Li Hao even regarded Liu Yan as a living bodhisattva who saved the suffering and helped the world.

Zhang Xun and Li Hao received two sets of big red mandarin duck jackets at the quilt, which were filled with brand new cotton, and the fabric on the surface was also a good cotton cloth, which was not only warm but also very strong and durable, Zhang Xun and Li Hao were very excited in their arms.

In addition, there is also a bedding, which is also a quilt, and there are countless bits and pieces such as winter shoes, underwear and socks, leggings, etc., which gave Zhang Xun and Li Hao the illusion of getting rich overnight, and they were even more determined that their decision to join the army was extremely correct.

Then, Zhang Xun and Li Hao received bowls and chopsticks, water cups, water bladders, towels, basins, marching belts, toothbrushes, sea salt, soap, etc., which made Zhang Xun and Li Hao tremble when they saw them, and said secretly: "My God, so many people, each of them has to send so many good things, how much does it cost to be a master of integrity!" Could it be that Lord Ethics is the god of wealth in heaven? ”

Especially when Zhang Xun and Li Hao saw the good sea salt packed in a bamboo tube, the soldiers who distributed the items next to them explained that it was used to brush their teeth and comb their mouths, but it made Zhang Xun and Li Hao feel distressed, they had lived for more than 20 years, and they had never eaten such good fine salt, and now they were told that this was not food, just for brushing their teeth and rinsing their mouths, Zhang Xun and Li Hao immediately swallowed their saliva and almost choked themselves to death!

The surrounding recruits were also the same as Zhang Xun and Li Hao, their eyes were wide open, with an expression of disbelief, looking at those new army officers and soldiers, as if they were looking at a group of losers.

Some people died, but not completely......
