The two-month military training was prescribed by the Chen Dynasty. All of this he did was to try to change the status quo of the Daji's army's weak combat effectiveness!

The tactics of crowds are not what Chen Chao wants.

What Chen Chao wants is an elite soldier, an elite soldier who can fight ten against one!

At the gates of the city, the recruitment continued.

The settling-in allowance of thirty taels is very attractive to these sturdy men.

How many years can you save these thirty taels?

Chen Chao simply calculated that with the average of the first two years of the Great Era, the daily income of an adult man in the Great Era was no more than 15 Wen, and it was calculated according to 15 Wen.

One hundred wen is equal to one penny.

One thousand wen is equal to one tael.

Thirty taels of silver, it takes a young man to work for more than five years without eating or drinking.

Now, as long as they pass two months of military training, they can get the combined income of the previous five years.

How could they not be moved.

This reflects from the side why the people were willing to participate in the cash-for-work program when the Chen Dynasty implemented it, because the remuneration paid at the beginning was much higher than the average income of the people in the past.

Even women and children who do odd jobs can get ten cents a day.

It's no wonder they don't want to.

The recruitment continued, and the registration office was crowded with people, much smoother than Chen Chao had imagined.

As time went on, there were more and more people.

At the registration office, there is a long queue.

The old official sat behind the table, with pen and ink on the table, asked the basic situation of the applicants, and after recording them one by one, he would issue a sign to the applicants, asking them to go to the training ground in Qingyuan County in three days to gather, and they didn't need to bring anything, just go to the people.

"Name?"

"Li Gou's leftovers."

"Age?"

"Ten, fifteen!"

When the old official heard this, he stopped writing, Hou Ji walked over with a waist knife, looked at the half-grown boy in front of him, and kicked him out of the team with one kick.

Li Gou got up with a lot of brains, "Official, I want to be a soldier." ”

"How old are you?"

"Fifteen."

"The minimum age requirement to be a soldier, eighteen years old, you little skin monkey get out of the way, what should you do?"

Hou Ji pulled it with his hands, and the skinny Li Gouyu was thrown to the ground.

The rule that the age of being a soldier should be over 18 years old was set by the Chen Dynasty, and in Daji, a man was considered an adult at the age of 15, and a woman was an adult at the age of 16.

But from the perspective of future generations of the Chen Dynasty, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, people's bodies have not yet grown to the fullest, and they are a fart soldier and a fart battle.

Such a soldier on the battlefield is all fucking cannon fodder.

Don't tell me that you're short and flexible.

What Chen Chao wants are all sturdy elite soldiers, who can fight ten.

So, the age limit is 18 years old and above, and there are many other restrictions.

For example, don't have a physical disability, don't have poor physical coordination, don't have poor eyesight, don't want night blindness......

After Li Gouyu was driven away, several sturdy men lined up behind him smiled at the waist.

"Next." The old official shouted.

Several men rushed forward, and the leader clenched his fists and said:

"Official, several of us are fellow villagers, from Xihe Township, we are all veterans for more than ten years, we have participated in the battles of Weiyang, Xuchuan, Luohe, etc., and we have also been to the west a few years ago and fought the Qin people."

After speaking, several veterans took the identity tags issued by the previous military department and carefully handed them to the old officials.

This sign represents how many enemies they have killed as soldiers.

When the others saw it, they all showed envious eyes.

Veteran?

Or a veteran of more than ten years!

With this qualification, I will definitely be selected.

Hou Ji looked at the signs in their hands and nodded in satisfaction.

Such a veteran is exactly the talent they want, the bandits in Yunzhou are very cunning and fierce, and only such a veteran can deal with it.

Just as he was about to ask the old officials to write down all their names, Chen Chao heard the news and strode over.

Without saying a word, he said coldly: "Boom away!" ”

Hou Ji was surprised, even those veterans were very surprised, not to mention the onlookers, and they talked in a whisper.

"Xiangye?" Hou Ji was stunned.

Chen Chao casually picked up those signs, looked at them, threw them on the table, squinted and said: "They are all veterans of more than ten years, why do you six or seven people add up to the merits on the signs, and there are not even three enemy heads." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized.

It turns out that this group of people is not only veterans, but also ruffians.

There are several characteristics of the ruffian.

He has been in the army for a long time, vulgar, unruly, has a bad reputation, and lives a long time.

On the battlefield, this group of people lives the longest, and when they see that the situation is not right, this group of people turns their heads and runs, or they lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.

As for killing?

Hehe, don't count on them, it's okay not to drag your feet.

Chen Chao hated such ruffians the most, and he directly bombarded them away when he spoke, letting them go as far as they could.

Several soldiers were driven away, walked to a no-man's land in the distance, and cursed in their mouths, saying that Chen Chao was illiterate and blind.

In this way, after three or four days of hard work, the Chen Dynasty recruited nearly 5,000 soldiers in Qingshan County, and then went to other counties and towns to recruit troops, but it was far from being smooth in Qingshan County, and the counties added up to only more than 12,000 people.

More than 10,000 people will stay at the training ground in Qingyuan County for two months.

In two months, Chen Chao was ready to go down in person and train these recruits, according to the standards of the military camp in later generations.

......

At nightfall.

Hou Ji walked in with a thick booklet, the booklet recorded the basic information of more than 10,000 recruits, in the room, Chen Chaozheng was sitting behind the desk writing a letter, which was addressed to his wife Song Qingwan, which roughly meant that he could not go to Baiyun Temple for the time being, and he would go after dealing with the matter at hand.

"Xiangye, guess what I found?" Hou Ji's voice sounded a little surprised and unexpected.

Chen Chao had just finished writing the letter, folded it, put it in an envelope, and raised his head.

"Xiangye, when I was sorting out the list, I found a person, you will never think of who it is." Hou Ji opened the booklet and pointed to a name on it.

Murong Ting!

On this page, the basic information of Uncle Murong Ting is written.

When Chen Chao saw this name, he frowned slightly.

I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect this kid to join the army?!

With a blink of an eye, Chen Chao picked up the pen and crossed out the name from the booklet mercilessly, "Drive him out, don't let him go near the barracks." ”

Hou Ji had no objection to this arrangement of the Chen dynasty.

Murong Ting is a gentleman's disciple, a son of wine and meat, it is better to leave now than to quit by not being able to stand up.

If you go now, you can still save a little face.

Chen Chao clenched his fists, pinched the tiger's mouth, and fell into deep thought.

His driving away Murong Ting was not what Hou Ji thought.

He was completely selfish.

People are selfish, this trip to Yunzhou to suppress bandits, there are many auspicious and less, Murong Ting is Murong Yue's younger brother, and he is regarded as Chen Chao's brother-in-law.

If they could, who would want their family to venture to a dangerous place like Yunzhou?

Taking a deep breath, Chen Chao said to Hou Ji: "If you don't let this kid join the army, this kid will definitely make trouble." ”

Hou Ji nodded in agreement.

"In this way, you send him to Qin Shangshu and let him follow Qin Shangshu to sell wine in the capital, which can be regarded as finding him something serious to do."

"Yes."
