"Your wife and children, if you squeeze, I will beat you up."

"You guys, what have I squeezed? Didn't someone else push me forward?"

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, if you squeeze again, I'll be out of breath..."

"What are you quarrels? Didn't you see the military man coming."

"Huh, I finally squeezed in."

Zhang Dasan from Xinglingzi Village finally entered the barracks. Looking at the long abortion behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that as a big-headed army, there would be so many people robbing him.

Today is August 13. Since the Qianhu Lords started recruiting soldiers on the afternoon of the 9th, young men from the civil fortresses, village forts, small mountain villages and other places in Wuzhai Fort have rushed in after hearing Xun. Everyone wanted to join the flag army of Wuzhai Fort. Although Qianhu Lords had strict orders and wanted to join the army, they had to join the military household registration of Wuzhai Fort, but that didn't matter. The Wuzhai Fort is very longing for now. Everyone wants to enter because after entering here, they can eat and wear a lot of clothes and have as long as they are willing to work hard, they can live a life of abundant food and clothing.

So what if you are a member of the Wuzhai Fort military household registration? In this current year, being able to eat enough is better than anything else. Besides, not to mention the treatment of the various farms of Wuzhai Fort, people from all over the country have already made people in the civilian army envious, and the treatment of this flag army is far better than that of the Tundings. Don’t look down on these military officials. Even if you want to join the Wuzhai Fort military household, ordinary people will not let you add it casually.

Those recruiting treatments are there, with a real grain of grain every month, and the "welfare" of the military that the adults said, it makes people drool. Especially if you make contributions in the future, the reward is very generous. The thousand-household adults have orders. If you kill thieves and behead one level, you will be rewarded with 40 taels of silver. This was Huang Laifu based on Qi Jiguang's approach. Grandpa Qi was like this back then, and if his subordinates beheaded one level, they would be rewarded with 40 taels of silver. Of course, Huang Laifu copied such a good approach.

Since Huang Laifu's recruitment notice was issued, the first person who received the news was naturally the military household flag soldiers in Wuzhai Fort and the garrisons of each farm. Since last year, some refugees have been serving as garrisons in each farm in Wuzhai Fort. They now have military household registrations in Wuzhai Fort, and of course these people are also qualified to register first.

The second is the refugees and foreigners in the fort. The next is the refugees close to Wuzhai Fort, and finally the places slightly far from Wuzhai Fort. Every day, people keep rushing to Wuzhai Fort with hope. Among these people, there are some simple mountain people and refugees from all over the world. Especially on the 13th and 14th, the flow of people was even more like a blowout.

Looking at the people's enthusiasm, many people from Laowuzhai Fort sighed. If it were the past, this situation would be incredible. I only heard that military households fled, but how could everyone squeeze their heads and want to enter the Wuzhai Fort Flag Army?

In the past, even if people wanted to join the army, they wanted to be the kind of military camp soldiers in the military town. Who would be willing to be a hereditary military household? No wonder some people sighed that the world has really changed. Thanks to the fact that Lord Huang Laifu in Wuzhai Fort, everyone can live a good life in a bad year.

After Zhang Dasanyi received the news of recruiting soldiers from Wuzhai Fort, he knew that his chance had come. He had dreamed of coming to Wuzhai Fort before, and he told himself that if he had the chance, he must stay in Wuzhai Fort. As before, he would dig food in the field every day. What would be the future? Therefore, despite the persuasion of his father, mother and wife, he insisted on coming to Wuzhai Fort.

However, after finally coming in, he was excited, and after seeing the situation of the soldiers in the barracks, Zhang Dasan couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"My God, is this the choice of the emperor's personal army? How many of them can be selected according to this method of selecting troops?"

There are several procedures for the selection of soldiers in the field, one is to look at height, two is to look at face and temperament, three is to look at body strength, and four is to look at endurance. I saw that the selections in the field were in full swing, and some were constantly being selected, and some were not. After complaining about themselves, I had to stand aside dejectedly and look at the selected people proudly. After a long time, Zhang Dasan discovered that among the dense people, there were only dozens of people who were selected, which was really a choice of one in a hundred.

Selecting elite soldiers is a view and proposition repeatedly put forward by Qi Jiguang, and Huang Laifu naturally agreed deeply. Fighting is not just about the number of people, but ten thousand weak soldiers are not as good as one thousand elite soldiers. Therefore, Huang Laifu decided to imitate the military selection method of the Qi family army.

First of all, we should look at people. We should recruit those who are thick-faced, strong, honest, obedient, and those who look like niche, clever, slutty, and opportunistic, and plan to scramble into the flag army to live. We will never accept them. Again, it depends on the age of people over forty, and only those who are 18 to 35 years old. Again, the height must reach a certain level, the physique must be strong, the arms must be thick, and the muscles must be developed.

In addition to this, a series of elimination procedures are required.

First, you must lift the stone lock, and specify how many times you need to lift to be considered qualified. After lifting the stone lock, everyone must put on a full set of armor, bows and arrows, swords and guns, and run along the barracks with loads. You must run how many laps to run and those who can persist can be selected in the end.

After this series of elimination procedures, you can persist. Congratulations, you have finally become a member of the glorious Wuzhaibao flag army. Please rest and let the servants of the Qianhu family make a name book for you, write your name, figure, appearance, etc. on it, and give you a body card with you.

Huang Laifu's strict military selection method is really a choice of one in a hundred ways, and he is all good soldiers. However, the recruitment speed is not fast. From the 9th to the 13th day of today, except for the more than 1,000 people in the former Wuzhai Fort Banner Army, after elimination, only 300 people remained, more than 600 people were recruited to recruit enough quota. However, seeing that there are sufficient personnel sources everywhere, I believe that these 800 people can still recruit enough tomorrow one day.

Mr. Huang Sihao, He Chaoxun, He Deputy Qianhu, Jiang Yongsheng, Jiang Baihu, Yang Anzhang and Yang Baihu and others also stood aside. Looking at everything hot in front of him, He Deputy Qianhu sighed: "I heard that the Lord is practicing according to Qi Shaobao's military selection method. Qi Shaobao is invincible in the world. I didn't understand before, but now I finally understand why the Lord Shaobao is invincible."

The former Wuzhai Fort Flag Army was not enough to make a living because of its meager income. In addition, it was too over-engagement and poor training. The officers often bully and enslaved soldiers. They were really a tofu army and basically had no combat power.

Now, after Huang Laifu's strict selection, among the more than 1,120 flag troops of Wuzhai Fort, there are old and weak, so they can go all out and stay in the various farms of Wuzhai Fort as garrisons. The remaining 300 flag troops are all strong and strong. In addition, the young and strong families recruited, all of them are strong. This spirit is completely different from before. Of course, this effect is because Huang Laifu has money to recruit soldiers. In the past, Wuzhai Fort, he wanted money but no money, and no food. Even if he wanted to recruit people, he was powerless.

After hearing the words of Deputy Qianhu, Huang Laifu smiled slightly. Although these former officers did not lead troops now, Huang Laifu was still welcomed when they came to the barracks for concern. His father Huang Sihao looked at the selected recruits and smiled at Huang Laifu: "Haha, Fu'er, it seems that these soldiers are all very good in their bodies."

Huang Laifu said: "Yes, my father, if you use the strong bodies of these soldiers, if you train them more strictly and let them fight some battles to temper them, you will be a tiger and wolf army. Although the number of people is small, outsiders dare not underestimate my Wuzhai Fort."

Huang Laifu also planned to wait until he had enough money and food after the autumn harvest, and after these soldiers were trained in the spring next year, Huang Laifu would also absorb some of the stronger and brave sergeants from the flag army as servants, and initially planned to have 300 servants next year.

Compared with the flag army, the treatment of the servants is of course more attractive. According to the general situation in the Ming Dynasty at this time, each servant will receive two stones of rice and eight cents of silver per month. If injured or killed, they will be given pensions. Huang Laifu plans to give each servant two stones of monthly grain and one tael of silver per month. If injured or killed, they can be handled according to the flag army regulations. If they have sons, they will be recruited into the servant camp in the future.

In addition to these, Huang Laifu also plans to implement a three-level training system. The garrisons of each farm must also be trained after the slack farm. The outstanding personnel of them can be absorbed into the flag army, and the outstanding personnel of the flag army can be absorbed into the servants. In order to maintain an excellent source of troops, it also ensures that the most powerful force in the Wuzhai Fort is in his own hands. Anyway, the main forces in the Ming Dynasty are now relying on the servants, and doing so is in line with the historical trend.

Huang Laifu expected that on the morning of the 14th of the next day, although he had been recruited with very strict selection and strict screening standards, the quota of more than 1,120 flag troops in Wuzhai Fort was still full. The 1,120 people, including the original flag troops and the recruited households, were all strong and powerful, and all of them satisfied Huang Laifu.

Huang Laifu planned to let them get rid of their new flag army completely and become a professional soldier. Anyway, the fields in the various farms of Wuzhaibao are still sufficient. If you want to reclaim new land next year, you can recruit some refugees from other places. I believe that after a bumper harvest year, your own money and food will be enough at this point.

As for the cost of raising the army, we have to find a way. In the past, the Wuzhai Fort Flag Army, except for the servants, were all from the top of the food and money supply, or from the local government's fragmentary supply. But now, they all take Huang Laifu's food and money benefits. Needless to say, this army is equivalent to Huang Laifu's private army. Huang Laifu is there, so they have a good life. Huang Laifu is over, and they have finished too. It can be said that their interests are all connected with Huang Laifu.

In addition, the Huang family originally had 60 servants, and Huang Laifu chose twenty to protect the safety of Qianhu's house. The other 40 servants were his own personal soldiers, with Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu each leading 20 people.

After recruiting soldiers, Huang Laifu ordered his servants to accumulate a book of the new army's names, understand their figures, appearances, and hang cards. But in the process of corpsing, there is no hurry. Huang Laifu came from later generations and naturally understood the importance of a sense of honor to a soldier. In order to give people the feeling of "one person joining the army, the whole family is glorious", they have a sense of honor as a soldier, and their families are also proud, so he has to do one thing first.

August 15, 1590.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everywhere in the Ming Dynasty was eating moon cakes, holding a series of moon sacrifices and entertainment activities, and the same was true for Wuzhai Fort.

In addition to the festive atmosphere, today, the Dadong Street of Wuzhai Fort is also full of people, military music is noisy, firecrackers are roaring, and the atmosphere is extremely warm. The 1,120 newly recruited flag soldiers in Wuzhai Fort were all wearing big red flowers. Under the beating of gongs and drums by the crowd on the street, under the leadership of Huang Laifu, who was wearing armor and riding horses, they slowly walked around the fort and accepted everyone's cheers.

This is an event held by Huang Laifu to celebrate the successful recruitment and to give people a refreshing feeling. After the soldiers circled the fort, they would slowly enter the military camp and meet their families. That night, Lord Huang Laifu would also invite the families of these recruits.

The young men were all radiant, and the big red flowers on their chests reflected the brilliant appearance of their faces. Many people were so excited that their faces were red with excitement. They were just simple people from the mountain village before, so how could they receive such honor? They couldn't help but stand tall and took out all their energy, and walked with Lord Huang Laifu in front, fearing that something was wrong with him, and put on the adult's face.

Of course, these people were still wearing their own clothes. Huang Laifu has always been a pity that there was no extra military uniform in the Wuzhai Fort, so he could not change them with a new set of clothes to make them more energetic. Although the flag soldiers who were eliminated before had hundreds of military uniforms, they were all ragged. If they were worn, they would be fine.

Fortunately, all the young men were all in spirit. They were carefully selected by Huang Laifu these days. They were tall and strong. In addition, most of them were young people, and everyone was carrying big red flowers on their chests. More than a thousand people walked by neatly. This lineup was still very strong. As for the big red flowers, Huang Laifu ordered Qian to ask the military women of Wuzhaibao to take an afternoon and evening to prepare them.

These strong young people, compared with the old flag army that was sluggish in Wuzhai Fort before, especially among the firecrackers and cheers, the effect was even more. Everyone on the street, except for the military households of Wuzhai Fort, refugees from all over the country who came to Wuzhai Fort to make a living, the households outside the country, and the merchants from all over the country who came to Wuzhai Fort to do business were all talking, and everyone summed up in one sentence, which was a mighty army.

The families of the Minhu Banner Army who were rushing to the fort were also rushing to the fort. They received news from Wuzhai Fort that the Qianhu would invite them to celebrate their son's glorious selection of the Wuzhai Fort army. This was really frightened and surprised.

Therefore, after receiving the news, everyone immediately rushed to Wuzhai Fort. Since their families were basically near Wuzhai Fort, the farthest families, even when they received the news yesterday, all arrived at this time.

At this time, they saw their son's mighty appearance and the cheers of cheers on the street, many people were so excited that they didn't know what to do. It turned out that some of the hesitation and worries in their hearts disappeared completely, leaving only pride in their hearts.

"Come on, everyone comes for a drink."

In the Wuzhaibao barracks, it was brightly lit and laughter.

The barracks were filled with tables and chairs, and the tables were filled with steaming hearty wine and dishes. The fragrance of wine and meat, the laughter and joy of the adults on the table, and the sound of talking and persuading the wine. To be honest, many simple military families were excited, and they were like in a dream.

The wine and food on the big table in front of me tasted so fragrant, so rich, with big fish, meat and noodles, which made people saliva come out after smelling it, let alone eating it. Most of these military members were in poor small mountain villages or folk forts. Not to mention oil and water and meat, but there was not much food to fill their stomachs. Therefore, the fragrance of these wine and meat made them salivate. When the Qianhu said that they had started eating, everyone started to eat it. When they heard the Qianhu and several adults talking in front, they hurriedly responded.

The people accompanying tonight were Huang Laifu, Huang Sihao, He Chaoxun, He Deputy Qianhu, Jiang Yongsheng and Jiang Baihu and other officers, Liu Zongqi, Qian Shi, Wang Qinian, Zhou Wendong and others. As representatives of businessmen, Qu Yuanrui also attended the dinner.

The situation in front of everyone also made everyone very strange. Huang Sihao was naturally proud of Huang Laifu's idea of ​​this move, and He Deputy Qianhu and others admired him. Wang Qinian and Zhou Wendong said a few words, and they all secretly said that lords are really geniuses. After thinking about this move, these soldiers did not work hard to serve the masters? As for Qu Yuanrui, they were naturally happy. He did not read the wrong person. It seemed that when he thought about it, he found the right place for wealth. Seeing that the harvest was right in front of him, he must be rich and wealth was full, and Qu Yuanrui had only joy in his heart.

Among the military families invited tonight, each newly recruited flag army sat next to their families. At this time, the young people naturally had only pride and joy in their hearts, while their families were only satisfied and excited.

Among everyone below, Sanzi's father kept laughing and looking at his son Zhang Dasan beside him. Sanzi's father felt how correct his son's decision to come to Wuzhaibao to join the army was. This thousand-household master is really good. In the world, how can there be a kind general like Lord Huang? His son will definitely have a good future in the future with such an adult. His son is right. You can't always stay in Xinglingzi's small mountain village, otherwise how can you make a breakthrough? (To be continued.
