Anti Qing

Chapter 96 Changes (Third Update)
The recruitment of literati went smoothly. Although the literacy rate is not high now, it is not difficult to recruit some people who handle clerical work.

You only need to know how to read and write.

As for allowing them to participate in the military administration, that is a matter for the future. The front battalion at this stage only needs some literati who usually handle paperwork.

After all, Li Zijing came from a later generation, and there was no chain of discrimination against these former civil servants. Under the same needs, the recruitment should be based on those with high reputations.

After some solicitation, Wu Zhaosheng quickly sent more than 100 literati to the school, including twelve former Ming Dynasty imperial examination candidates.

Apart from this, most of the rest are scholars, tribute students, student members, and some not-so-young children.

In the Ming Dynasty, all scholars who practiced Juye, regardless of their age, those who had not obtained meritorious titles and were not tribute students or student members, were called Tongsheng.

Most of the children sent by Wu Zhaosheng are between 20 and 30 years old. After all, they are scholars, and of course they also have the ability to read and write.

Li Zijing knew the disadvantages of stereotyped selection of scholars in this era, and those who failed the examination did not necessarily mean that they were completely incompetent, so he gave them a chance to try.

More than 100 people and more than 100 tables and chairs are enough for the military expansion during this period.

It's all about seeing it with your own eyes.

The warm and indifferent eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, more like a sharp knife that pierces people's heart!

In the Xiaoshun army, it is absolutely possible that as soon as they retreat, they will be veterans or elite riders. Even if they have no military merits in the Ming army, they must work steadily from the bottom when they get there.

"How much is the salary every month? How is it settled?"

"Last question."

The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and many people were startled, and they all avoided and stepped in, looking at Wu Zhaosheng in horror.

"Ask if you have nothing to say. If you have any questions, you can't apply directly!"

I found that no one was sitting under the table with a pen in hand, and I could write a word for a long time, and the soldiers in the rear camp in front of me would immediately come down and clear me out of the camp.

"Seventh, include it in the establishment book and issue troop cards."

The rear battalion was recruiting soldiers in a hurry in Xiangyang, and in the city of Yunyang, which was about [-] miles away, not a single slow horse galloped into the city.

Wu Zhaosheng also played the role of screening at the gate. After all, there are so many people who come, it is impossible to cram them all into the school grounds.

It was the first time I met the recruits who were not Xiaoshun's elites, and it was really unacceptable.

The man ran all the way to Yunyang City, in the governor's yamen of Gao Doushu, when he saw Gao Doushu, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, praying repeatedly.

"As for the corporals, they are paid money and grain, and there are only two points in the treatment. First, they are in charge of food and housing."

The soldiers of the rear battalion who guarded left their posts in batches and came to the north side of the school grounds to eat.

Wu Zhaosheng stared around at the crowd for a long while, then hurriedly picked up the horsewhip hanging from his waist, and whipped it in the air with all his might.

The settling fee of a few taels of silver is far less tempting than Wu Zhaosheng's previous seven words of controlling food and living bring us less temptation.

The soldiers of the rear battalion came and went on the north side of the school field, sitting or standing with bowls in their hands, chatting while drinking porridge.

Seeing that it had shocked us, Geng Shuangke nodded slightly, and ended up pacing back and forth under the stage.

"It's worth dying to take a sip of this porridge."

Wu Zhaosheng looked at the young men behind his eyes, and there was no disappointment in his eyes.

The crowd buzzed.

It was only then that the young adults who applied later in the field came to their senses and gradually calmed down. They dared to whisper to each other again, and even dared to stay under Wu Zhaosheng for too long with their eyes.

Li Zijing, who was behind the gate of the school yard, would choose another person who claimed to be a scholar from the crowd waiting in the yard, and retreat into the school yard to fill in the vacancy.

Wu Zhaosheng stood still under the stage, staring at the stage.

"Now in Xiangyang City, there are plenty of Shunkou soldiers and horses. Please Futai and the military gate make a quick decision so that we can compete for full success!"
"I know how to ride horses, but I didn't have the chance to be selected into the cavalry. The military horses are given eight liters of beans and seventeen catties of fodder every day. Before retiring to the cavalry, there is no monthly rations every month, and the millet is one tael or seven dollars."

Few people were walking or moving, smelling the fragrance of vegetables in the air, and staring straight at the group of rear camp soldiers who were eating on the north side.

"Just like us, eat enough, it's his job to feed him to death, you just feed them."

When all these scholars are in place, the military expansion will officially begin.

On top of the serious atmosphere of the military camp, there was an atmosphere of silence.

Although there was no chaos in the school grounds, no one dared to rush over to grab food. After all, if you want to eat, you have to live first.

Those who recruited and retreated were all special soldiers, at least some who could ride horses would be included in the cavalry.

In today's era, what is most lacking is not people who want to eat and eat, and the funds for the rear camp are scarce, so Wu Zhaosheng has no plans to settle down.

Vegetable porridge smelled more fragrant than unusual rice porridge. Before arriving in Xiangyang, the military officer of the supply battalion in the rear camp went to North Street to buy some salt according to Gu Junen's arrangement.

There were many people in the arena, but there were no more discussions.

The firefighters in the kitchen also had smiles on their faces, and kindly greeted the brothers in the camp to have lunch, and they always filled bowls for us.

"Yes, but control food and control."

"Is there no settling allowance?"

"Your rear battalion is now expanding its army in Xiangyang. The full quota of soldiers is [-], and the recruitment will stop when they are full. Is there anything you want to ask?"

Wu Zhaosheng was about to continue the introduction, but the buzzing voice in the field became smaller and smaller, lingering in his ears, making people feel restless.

"The rest of the veterans and the elite cavalry don't receive promotions. No one will discuss those things with them in detail before joining the army."

Wu Zhaosheng glanced at the questioner, then stretched out two fingers.

Although the atmosphere seemed relatively silent, the recruiting scene was very quiet, and the young and strong were scrambling to get in and want to register early.

Only veterans like that can be considered elite.

Vegetable porridge with salt is not only bad in taste, but also unable to restore energy quickly.

There was frequent commotion in the crowd, the bad thing was that the rear battalion ate meals in batches, and there was not a small amount of troops to guard the surroundings, and those soldiers who were eyeing tigers were holding gleaming knives and guns.

Of course, salt is very expensive now, and the kitchen in the camp doesn't just put a little bit of salt in there to add some salt to the family.

These selected literati sat behind the table to record, and each of them did not have a rear camp soldier with a knife and gun in front of him.

"That's the military camp, it's the vegetable market where they buy vegetables!"

This screening is only a preliminary screening. Those who are too young or too old are screened out, and those who are too tall or too short are screened out, and those who are too tall or too short can be screened out.

Geng Shuangke suddenly made a sound, which attracted everyone's attention.

For those people, the settlement fee is really not necessary.

"Li Thief's eighth brother, Wu Zhaosheng, led the army to Xiangyang and occupied your Le's pharmacy weakly. Please also ask Futai and Wang Junmen to send troops to make decisions for you and other merchants!"

"This general is Wu Zhaosheng, ordered by Emperor Xiaoshun Yongchang to be the general of the rear battalion."

"The tents in the camp provide shelter from the wind and rain, and you can live there until you want to."

"You, the Le family, are willing to use all of the Huguang family property to support Futai and Junmen to follow Xiaoming's army to recover Xiangyang and drive out the bandits!"

Wu Zhaosheng was holding a whip in his hand, with a murderous look on his face.

"Snapped!"

Wu Zhaosheng didn't say much about the treatment of Lao Ben and Jing Qi, because it was unnecessary.

Few people noticed that there was no general standing under the small platform in the middle of the school field wearing a hat.

In the pot is boiling and tumbling vegetable porridge. Although it is not less sticky, it is considered to be no food or rice, and there are still sporadic oil and meat floating in the bottom.

One raised his hand.

Did Wu Zhaosheng hesitate, and replied lightly.

"The big one used to serve as a soldier on all sides, and the Ming army didn't even have a family bank."

Although those soldiers seemed to know how to read, they were also fools. They could still distinguish whether they were literate and illiterate, or those who knew how to pretend.

The scene of the soldiers eating in batches in the rear battalion made all the young and strong people who walked into the school grounds to join the army look straight.

Wu Zhaosheng frowned slightly when he realized that there was still no discussion in the field, but he still held back his anger and continued.

After noon, the soldiers in the camp finished eating.

"The booklet and the badge are the symbols of the official soldiers of your rear battalion. Use those two things to see a doctor for his family for free."

"Do you want to have a full meal?"

"Think about it, dream about it!"
