Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chao Yong looked at a man who was quietly relaxing his spine and shouted: "You, stand up straight, don't hunch your back. If you can't do it, get out of the queue. There are still more than 3,000 people."

    Some people who were reluctantly holding on, when they heard that there were so many people, suddenly lost their perseverance and walked out of the school dejectedly.

    At this time, it was only a few days before the Liangshan army was reorganized. Chao Yong greeted the leaders and said that he would select a hundred soldiers in advance. Naturally, the leaders would not be able to refute his face.  But at the same time, I was also a little worried that Chao Yong would select all the elites, so everyone came to join in the fun early in the morning. However, seeing Chao Yong's current selection method, which was almost child's play, they were immediately relieved.

    Ruan Xiaoqi has already turned around countless times on the general stage. He is not worried about Chao Yong selecting the elite, because his sailors are first selected from fishermen, and they first look at water quality, so there is no source of troops like the leaders.  What a conflict.

    It¡¯s just that I came here with great curiosity, but when I came, I found myself standing on the stage, bored. After standing for nearly half an hour, I finally lost my temper and asked: "Brother Yong, what are you doing?"  Is this useful to you? Just being able to stand is a good soldier?"

    Chao Yong looked at all the leaders who looked suspicious and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this silent stand. It not only tests everyone's physical strength, but more importantly, it tests people's perseverance and tenacity. Those who can stand for half an hour,  The physical strength will not be bad, but in the end, everyone's body has reached its limit, it depends on who can persist. "

    Lin Chong was a little confused at first. After listening to Chao Yong's explanation, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Brother Yong is right. I also heard my father say that fighting on the battlefield often requires physical strength and perseverance. When two armies face off, the generals of both sides will  Estimate the opponent's position. If your troops and horses can exceed the limit and appear in a position that the opponent does not expect, you can catch the opponent off guard. A large army will fight for several hours. What matters in the fight is the tenacity of the troops and horses. Let's see who can win.  The party that can persist to the end and retreat first will most likely be overtaken by the situation and completely defeated."

    Chao Gai originally had some doubts about whether his money had been wasted, but he was relieved when he heard that Lin Chong seemed to agree with Chao Yong's method.

    Chao Gai also knew that although he was the leader of a stronghold, he came from a rough background. In terms of fighting, he might be able to compete with Lin Chong, but when it came to using troops, they were completely outsiders.  Gaidu was handed over to Lin Chong.

    Generals in the Northern Song Dynasty basically came from generals. They all had martial arts and military skills passed down from their families, which were difficult for outsiders to learn.

    Although the Lin family is not considered a general, it is just because the Lin family has only served as instructors in the capital for generations and is responsible for training soldiers and horses, so its reputation is not as good as that of the major generals at the border.  However, the Lin family also has marksmanship and military skills that have been passed down from generation to generation. The Lin family's marksmanship is even more outstanding, so the Lin family has been able to serve as instructors in Tokyo for generations.

    According to the Liangshan military system, each of the leader's soldiers was paid five guan, which was paid by the village.  However, in order to make everyone rush to serve as his personal soldiers, Chao Yong asked Chao Yong for a thousand guan, and gave his personal soldiers an additional 5 guan as a monthly subsidy. Each person's salary reached ten guan, which was the same as that of a centurion.  This is why all the soldiers are willing to use all their strength to compete for these fifty positions.

    Half an hour later, there were less than 2,000 people left on the campus.

    Chao Yong looked at Hu Sanniang, who was dripping with sweat, and said with a smile: "Sanniang, you go back first. The remaining people are all strong-willed people. I'm afraid there won't be a winner for a while. If you continue to stand, I'm afraid.  It¡¯s going to be dark.¡±

    It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the July sun was at its peak. Although the leaders were not wearing helmets or armor, they were already sweating profusely after standing on the stage for half an hour, but they were too embarrassed to be the first to leave.  go.

    Hu Sanniang has also been practicing martial arts since she was a child, so she can still bear the pain. When she heard Chao Yong's ridicule, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chao Yong, but after thinking about it, her beauty was more important, and said angrily: "Your method of selecting soldiers is too boring.  I'm going back first, you stand on a wooden pile slowly."

    After saying that, he threw his fragrant handkerchief to Chao Yong, gave Chao Yong a graceful figure, and walked out of the school grounds.

    With the leader in charge, the other leaders suddenly remembered that they had something else to do.

    After only a few minutes of tea, only Lin Chong and Shi Qian were left on the stage to accompany Chao Yong.

    Chao Yong saw that the two of them had no intention of leaving, so he smiled at Chao San in the audience and said: "Chao San, go and bring three chairs and get some tea."

    Lin Chong was also sweating at this time. Although he wanted to sit down and have a rest and drink tea to relieve the heat, he knew that he was now selecting soldiers for Chao Yong, so he did not dare to be careless. He advised: "To win the military's morale, the easiest way is to  It means that the soldiers share joys and sorrows. Now they are standing quietly in the audience, but we are sitting on the stage drinking tea. Isn't it appropriate? "

    Chao Yong wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Now is the time to choose personal soldiers. The duty of the personal soldiers is to protect the general. Even when we sleep, they have to guard outside. So they must calm down in order to fulfill their responsibilities. If  I can't figure it out, I want himUse.  Maybe, when I go to bed, he goes to bed too.  "

    Lin Chong could not get over the military education he had received since childhood, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that what Chao Yong said was reasonable.

    Sure enough, when Chao Yong, Lin Chong and others sat down on the general ordering platform and drank tea to relieve the heat, dozens of regular soldiers who had been standing hard in the school field immediately walked out.

    Chao Yong took a sip of tea, and his summer mood suddenly went away. He looked at the people who were leaving with a little resentment on their faces, and shouted: "I am recruiting personal soldiers. What are personal soldiers? Not only can I take  You are paid more than others, and you have to protect me from swords and arrows. Even if I sleep with a woman, you have to listen outside to protect my safety.  Yes, please go out. The competition will begin tomorrow, and you can compete for the positions of captain of ten and captain of centurions."

    Lin Chong saw that many people in the audience were beginning to hesitate, but Chao Yong didn't seem to want to stop talking, so he coughed twice to stop him.

    Chao Yong naturally understood what Lin Chong meant when he coughed. He paused before shouting: "Follow me. It may not sound as glamorous as being a centurion, but you will get more opportunities to become generals than them. Because where are the enemies more?  If you are brutal, I will lead you wherever you go. My soldiers will face more dangers, but they will also have more opportunities to make meritorious deeds. You can get more rewards and even become generals or generals. Now, you are afraid of death.  Please get out, because I, Chao Yong, don¡¯t need such personal soldiers.¡±

    Some military men originally thought that Chao Yong, as the leader of the young village and his personal soldier, would not have many opportunities to go to the battlefield and he would be paid well, so they competed for the quota of this personal soldier.

    At this time, when Chao Yong said that he actually took more risks than other troops, he immediately backed down and walked out of the school grounds one after another, regardless of their reputation of being afraid of death.

    Chao Yong drank a cup of tea and saw that it was time to leave. Then he cleared his throat and said: "Okay, the ones left behind are all good men. Don't worry, being my personal soldier will not only give you a lot of money but also a lot of money."  It was you who died in the battle, but as long as I, Chao Yong, live, I will still pay your salary to your relatives every month for twenty years, and I will never break my promise."

    When the soldiers who persisted in the school field heard Chao Yong¡¯s generous pension, their already shaky bodies instantly became energized. They straightened their backs one by one, cheered up, and prepared to persevere until the end.

    "Bang" After a soldier persisted for an hour, he finally lost his strength and fell to the ground. He looked up at the people around him who were still persisting, struggled to get up and left unwillingly.

    After the first person fell down, some people who were not determined seemed to find a way to escape. Like the Boney Nomi card, one after another people fell down and were eliminated.

    After another cup of tea, Chao Yong looked at the four or five hundred people left on the stage, then stood up and said: "Okay, you guys have a rest for a while and then start the competition. One hundred people will be chosen by me."  pro-military.¡±

    When all the hard-working soldiers heard that their devilish standing was finally over, they immediately fell to the ground and began to rest.

    After the conversation just now, Lin Chong also knew that Chao Yong had carefully considered his selection of troops today, and asked curiously: "Brother Yong, why is this? They have been standing here for so long. For a stick of incense, I am afraid that many of them will not be able to slow down."  Come on, I¡¯m afraid the one you choose may not really be the best among them.¡±

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Combat operations often involve long-distance raids, which may not give you enough time to rest. No matter how good your martial arts are, if you do not have a strong will to fight, you still have no fighting ability. It is better to choose a strong will to fight, as long as your martial arts are not bad.  That¡¯s good, you can always improve gradually in the future, but the will to fight cannot be trained.¡±

    Lin Chong didn¡¯t expect that Chao Yong had such a unique approach in selecting troops, and what he said was very reasonable.  The half-day exposure seemed worth it.

    (It is said that the ancient Chinese timekeeping unit: a year has twelve months, a month has five weeks, a week has six days, a day has twelve hours, an hour has four quarters, a quarter has three cups of tea, and a cup of tea has two pillars  There are five points in one stick of incense, six flicks in one point, and ten moments in one flick. From this calculation, one moment is half an hour, one cup of tea is ten minutes, one stick of incense is five minutes, and one flick is ten seconds.  , a moment is a second. The time units appearing in this article shall be based on this.)
