Chapter 14 Shortlisted
Looking at the excited crowd, Liu Xun thought to himself that people in ancient times were really simple-minded, and he had bought their hearts so easily. Overjoyed, Liu Xun pressed his hand down and shouted:
"How excited are you with just this little military pay? The big head is still behind. The martial arts competition will begin today. I, the prefect, Cheng Ruo, will confer that all those who can be ranked in the top thirty after the competition will be awarded the title of Thousand-Man General. The thirtieth
One of the three hundred and thirty was named a hundred-man general. Finally, there were three thousand ten-man generals.
So today is the day when you carp jumps over the dragon gate. I hope you can all go all out. Well, I also know that you are impatient to wait. Now you can line up to collect your military pay. After receiving it, you can
Let the game begin."
"Thank you, lord"
"Long live my lord"
For a time, these simple soldiers were really grateful to Liu Xun.
...
After receiving military pay in the morning, the preliminary competition officially kicked off in the afternoon.
There was nothing exciting in the preliminary round, but Liu Xun could still feel the enthusiastic eyes of the soldiers.
Of course, there are naturally some disharmonious glances mixed in. As for where they come from, Liu Xun feels like a mirror?
For these old bureaucrats, Liu Xun didn't bother to care so much and just chose to ignore it. Because now they have no soldiers, and no big-headed soldiers will prey on them. Maybe they will become big-headed soldiers in a few days, even now
They want to cause trouble, but they can't make any waves.
...
Three days passed quickly, and the real finals were finally about to begin.
With an excited heart, Liu Xun stood under the ring and watched from beginning to end. He found that there were still some talents in his army.
For example, Liu Xun was very optimistic about Tieniu before. From the competition, it can be seen that this man has infinite strength. He has no problem beating ten of the average strong men by himself.
There is also a man named Deng Qiang, who is a bit shorter, about 1.65 meters tall. But he looks extremely strong from head to toe, and his movements are very flexible.
There is also a man named Liu Jie who looks relatively well-proportioned in the past, but his skills are extraordinary at first glance.
There is also a man named Zhang Zong who seems to be thin, but compared to his physical skills, he can dodge left and right and his opponents can't get close to him. At first glance, he is a rare talent.
Of course, these people can only stand out in this kind of third-rate army. If they are truly compared with the powerful generals who have left their names in history, they will definitely be far behind.
But it's pretty good, after all, these are top people selected from 50,000 people, so naturally they are not ordinary people.
At this moment, Liu Xun was standing on the general stage, looking at the thirty warriors who stood out below. The more Liu Xun looked at it, the happier he became. Liu Xun asked someone to bring a pen and paper and laughed:
"Okay, very good. You are all good. I always keep my word. From today on, these thirty of you will be the thousand-man generals in my Liu Xun army. You all sign up for me. Today I am the Grand Administrator.
I will write down your names personally."
As Liu Xun finished speaking, Tieniu stepped forward without hesitation and said, "Little man Tieniu, thank you for your great kindness, my lord."
Liu Xun waved his hand, and the word "Tieniu" appeared on the paper. He said with a smile, "Okay, Tieniu, you really did not disappoint me. I will learn more about leading troops in the future."
"If, thank you, Lord"
Liu Xun nodded and continued to shout:
"Next person"
"The villain Deng Qiang"
"Next person"
"Villain Liu Jie"
"Little man Zhang Brown"
...
With just a stick of incense, Liu Xun registered these thirty thousand generals one by one.
The thirty people standing in the audience at this moment are all jumping for joy. Today is really a step to the sky, and all this is given by the people in front of me. As the saying goes, Taoist priests die for those who know themselves. Among these thirty people, they are even more determined at this moment.
In this life, I will recognize the lord in front of me.
As for the remaining 100 people, Liu Xun was naturally summoned one by one to register. After ten people, Liu Xun was handed over to Huang Xing for registration. After all, there were too many people and Liu Xun could not register even one person.
Liu Xun held the roster in his hand, still eager to see if there were any famous generals with historical names who had not been discovered by him in his camp, but he turned over and over again and was still disappointed.
At this moment, all the rewards have been awarded, and these newly appointed generals have not yet come to their senses. They never thought that they could become generals. Although Liu Xun solemnly promised to do so before, they were also half-convinced, fearing that this would be a general.
Daydreaming. Because they have been in the army for many years and have many people to help them, and in this era, family background is really important. Those who can hold an official position must be from a wealthy family. Nowadays, it is simply impossible for these mud-legged people to get into the house.
It's just a fantasy.
Most of them are ordinary people who are poor. They do not join the army for ideals, but simply to fill their stomachs and get some meager military pay to supplement their families. As for their identities, let alone dozens of generations ago.
If you become a general, if you can become a county official, it will be a matter of honoring your ancestors.
Now that the master Jinguo Yuyan was so frightened, they actually made the leap from leading soldiers to generals.
At this moment, these generals all felt extremely grateful to their lord. At this moment, they wished they could take out their hearts and show Liu Xun how much they supported him.
It must be said that Liu Xun's tiger-like operation bought almost all the middle and lower-level generals in the army.
From this point on, it also marked that his army would completely obey his orders.
After all, most of the generals who climbed up were just soldiers.
The only reward they can give is loyalty, because they are poor and have only the last dignity left. If someone gives them a dignity that they dare not imagine, they will definitely swear to be loyal in return.
Otherwise, if a person is so poor that they have nothing, not even the most basic dignity, then their life will really be meaningless.
As for why they don't follow the military system of the Han Dynasty, there is no way. After all, these selected people are not educated. It is simpler and clearer to call the officers directly according to their number, and it is easier to count the number of troops.
Amidst the cheers, Liu Xun left the military camp with satisfaction and returned to the prefect's house. That night, Liu Xun lay in bed and thought about how to train soldiers. He recalled that in later generations, from an ordinary person to a qualified soldier, the most important thing was
The first indicator is discipline.
After thinking about it, Liu Xun, who came from later generations, felt that the top priority should be to teach the generals how to train new recruits. First, practice formations, three-sided turns, etc. Only in this way can the officers and even the entire army be able to use their fingers like an arm, and
