Chapter 118 Soldier Selection [Part 1]
Chapter 118 Soldiers [Part 1]
Zhao Jin took a step forward and immediately a soldier of the imperial guards handed over the iron acoustic cylinder designed by Zhao Jin himself.
The soldiers who had never seen this thing were immediately curious. Many people took a few steps ahead to see what the prince was holding. It was a lot more convenient to ask Zhao Qin to speak. This is probably the most unthinkable effect that the loudspeaker has!
Since I had never seen the ancient read army, Zhao Qin simply learned modern things: "Soldiers! Hello!"
It was a cold situation to welcome Zhao Jin. Hello, you guys? When will the officers be so polite? And this is not an officer! It is the prince! There will be no conspiracy, right?
Seeing the soldiers' vigilant expressions and the whispers below that were like mosquitoes lingering in their ears, Zhao Qian was also helpless, and unexpectedly he had already messed up at the beginning.
Although Han Ping and other generals did not oppose Zhao Jin's proposal, it does not mean that they were convinced. After all, everyone has their own pride in their own professional field. Now seeing Zhao Jinqiu become ugly, they all laughed in their hearts, or raised their heads proudly. They said happily: In terms of training soldiers, Prince, you should listen to us soldiers, what are the selections they do, right? Did you mess it up?
Although Zhao Qian could not see the expressions of Han Ping and others standing behind him, he probably could have been laughing secretly at this moment.
Zhao Qian took a deep breath. He knew that he could not be confused at this time, so he simply said as he thought in his heart. No matter how ugly it looks, it would not be bad. At worst, he would be able to strengthen his men at that time!
"I won't tell you any big truth! Among you, there are the people of Jingdong East Road. Now I serve as the appeasement envoy of Jingdong East Road! Do you want to follow me home? Do you want to get land?" Zhao Qian shouted.
The riots in the wings became even bigger, and some people couldn't help but ask: "Prince, are you saying true?"
"Prince, how do we get the fields?"
There are many questions and urgent questions. For land, the Chinese have an unimaginable desire for others. In order to make a piece of land that can make their descendants have enough food and clothing, they are willing to fight for everything. This is one of the important reasons why the Qin ** team is so fierce.
"I decided to implement the system of giving land to the military merits! Each mission has certain merits. According to the number of merits, the land will be granted in a year! And I promise here that even if there is no merit and just hard work, you can get ten acres of land!" Zhao Jin said incitement.
All the soldiers were in full swing, including soldiers from Jingdong East Road. What is the concept of ten acres? Hundred cents of coins! The imperial soldiers are treated well enough, about three cents a month! In other words, these ten acres of land are equivalent to about three years for an imperial soldier without eating or drinking. In fact, it is probably ten years before they can be bought!
As long as you serve Zhao Jin for one year, you will only deal with bandits, bandits, etc., and you can get the reward of shortening the struggle for ten years! And this is the minimum. If you win some credit during the period, you may not be able to become a small landlord!
"Prince! I want to follow you! Even if you don't have to pay money!"
"Prince, choose me! Look at how strong and tall I am! I am five feet and five inches!"
Of course, there are those who actively support it, and there are naturally some doubts. "Prince, do you keep your word?"
Hearing the voice of doubt, the originally enthusiastic soldiers immediately hesitated. Yes! What if Zhao Qian made a fuss, who would they ask for advice? The current emperor is the prince's brother in front of him. No matter what he said, he would never help us mud-legged brothers deal with our own brothers!
"It's no basis for saying it!" Zhao Qian nodded calmly and said, "I know your concerns, so I will use this matter to speak loudly in front of the officials, civil and military officials, in front of the people who are coming to watch, and in front of so many people at the military dispatch ceremony tomorrow! Do you think this is not enough?"
No one objected anymore. Although Zhao Chen's promise would be exchanged tomorrow, they did not work hard for Zhao Chen today. If Zhao Chen repents, the soldiers of the wing would not think they were muddy. They dared not to launch a mutiny, but they still had the courage to protest.
The surging feelings that had been slightly calmed down rose again.
Zhao Qian pressed his hands and shouted loudly several times to calm down, which made the soldiers calm down. He let out a secret breath, and Zhao Qian said loudly: "Although you all want to participate in the war, I only recruit 2,000 people! However, I am a fair person, so I give you three selection conditions!"
Hearing this, the soldiers calmed down and listened. This was related to their future and their minimum land of ten acres.
"First! Run, within an hour, from here to Xincaomen, and then come back from Xincaomen."
Xincaomen is about thirteen miles away from the barracks, and one round trip is twenty-six miles. Although there were some examples of marching in ancient times, in fact, if infantry marching, if not camping, it would usually take about one hundred miles a day! And it was a plain area, connected by official roads.
According to this calculation, six hours a day is theoretically sixteen miles per hour.
Of course, this is a relatively neat marching. The wing soldiers only need to reach Xincao Gate, which can be faster. At the same time, they do not need to carry weapons, armor, and reduce weight to complete this task. Although it is not an easy task, it is not impossible to complete.
Zhao Chen's proposal immediately made some tall people question it because they thought they would definitely be able to enter the imperial guards, and the success rate of willingness to enter changed from "must" to "possible"?
"Your Majesty, do you need to run? No matter how fast you run, you are not as fast as a war horse! You should choose tall and strong heroes according to the methods of your ancestors!"
Zhao Qian shook his head firmly and said with some dissatisfaction: "You have not entered my army yet, so it's fine now! If you enter my army in the future, you need to remember that those who serve as soldiers should obey as their duty! The Shangguan's instructions only need to obey. If there is any question, kill! Now I will tell you the reason so that you can convince me!"
Although some soldiers were dissatisfied with Zhao Chen's tough and harsh system, they still suppressed their dissatisfaction because of ten acres of land. No one refuted it, and they all listened quietly to Zhao Chen's explanation.
