More than 10,000 people came to sign up that day, but the quality was not very high, ranging from teenagers to old men in their fifties and sixties.
Ji Lin promptly informed all registration offices that they must ensure that they only recruit young adults between the ages of 18 and 28, who must be in good health and have a flexible mind.
Ji Jie looked at the thick stack of rosters sent from the registration office and thought that now there was something fun to do. At this rate, the next three days would be like this.
"Good brother, you see that my sister has exceeded the task, can you give me some reward?" Ji Lin looked at Ji Jie with a smile, her big eyes full of stories.
"award?"
"Yes!" Ji Lin pouted towards the recruit roster and said, "They have put in so much effort, and the number of recruits signed up is several times more than you think. Haha, give them each a set of equipment for free. It doesn't have to be too nice.
Yes, just those who have been eliminated by the soldiers of Da Zhou... I said why are you running away, I haven't finished talking yet..."
It's like this, why don't I run away?
If you don’t run away, all the money you managed to save will be deceived by you!
Ji Lin stamped her feet in the direction of his escape, pouted and said to herself: "It's really difficult to take advantage of you! I don't believe it, even an iron rooster has to pluck out a few hairs!"
On the sixth day, Ji Jie ordered the three Xiong brothers to start assessing the applicants. In order not to undermine the confidence of most people, the assessment content was very simple. As long as they were not color blind and had no physical disabilities, they would be considered qualified.
More than 8,000 people passed the examination that day. Judging from the selection ratio, this recruitment can form at least a new army of more than 20,000 people.
Ji Lin appeared in front of Ji Jie from time to time, but her face always looked like she wanted to be beaten after winning, which made him very unhappy.
"Banana, you Bala, if it weren't for the fact that you are a beauty, I would have made you splash with blood five steps ago!" Ji Jie muttered in a low voice while personally compiling the recruit roster to prepare for the next step of establishment.
.
The organization of the Yan army is also the most backward among the Seven Kingdoms. The lowest officer is the commander of ten, followed by the commander of centurions, the commander of thousands and the commander of ten thousand. The commander of thousands generally serves as a partial general, and the commander of ten thousand is a general or marshal.
This decimal system of army organization has a big drawback, that is, the power in the hands of officers is too great. One captain of ten thousand captains actually manages ten captains of the same status. The ten captains of thousands do not interfere with each other and cooperate with each other.
It won't go so smoothly. A centurion also has a centurion in his hands. If he manages it well, there will be no problem. If he doesn't manage it well, tens of thousands of people will be nothing but a mess.
"I'm talking about deputy general, can't you help me share some of the work?" Ji Jie was very busy, but Ji Lin was watching the fun and refused to help at all.
"I don't dare to take authority!" Ji Lin pretended to be afraid and said, "Brother Wang promised you that you have the final say in the training of the new army. You must not..."
"Okay, stop talking, I knew you would say that!" Ji Jie waved his hand impatiently and said, "It's okay if you don't help me, don't bother me here, go find a cool place to play!"
"you……"
"What are you doing? Either help or leave!" Ji Jie gave Ji Lin two choices.
Of course Ji Lin chose to help. Anyway, she could learn a lot. She still admired Ji Jie very much in terms of running the army.
Twenty thousand people were divided into four square formations. Ji Jie and the three brothers were each responsible for 5,000 people. The training content had been planned long ago. What the four people needed to do was to select a group of outstanding performers during the training to be instructors.
People only need to be responsible to these instructors, and the soldiers below are completely responsible for the instructors.
This is the reason why Ji Jie decided to recruit new soldiers. These people have never been exposed to anything related to the military. They are relatively flexible and do not have the bad habits of veterans. The most important thing is to be obedient.
Ji Lin was very interested in Ji Jie's training methods and actively asked to join the new recruits to experience it firsthand.
Ji Jie was worried about how to drag her into the water, but he didn't expect her to take the initiative. In order to complete the trick, he pretended to be embarrassed and found two reasons - her status was too high and she was a girl.
When Ji Lin got angry, she took the initiative to demote herself from deputy general to private soldier. It was inconvenient to mix in among men, so she called the personal maids to form a women's army team. Wouldn't this solve the problem!
Ji Jie gave her a thumbs up, and the master who was abused by Shang Qianzi, hehe, I will take good care of you.
Same training intensity, same meals, same living environment, see how many days you can persist!
It was okay at the beginning. The girls were in high spirits. Although they were exhausted every day, they basically persisted in completing the daily training programs. After three days, the innate squeamishness began to spread.
If Ji Lin hadn't been there, all these girls would have run away long ago.
In fact, Ji Lin has been doing very well. Ji Jie does not plan to let her be the instructor of the female soldiers, because it will be much easier for her!
So, I reluctantly train you step by step, hey, is that fun?
He obviously lowered the intensity of training, secretly increased the difficulty, and showed an air of pity and pity. Everyone, including Ji Lin, was deceived by this superficial situation and thought that he was deliberately being disrespectful and was grateful to him.
Soon, the first ten days of training passed, and the female soldier team grew from thirty people at the beginning to twelve people now. This is because Ji Lin kept transferring maids from other palaces to supplement those who left.
There were hundreds of people leaving one after another, and the maids of the Yan Palace almost took turns.
Another ten days passed, and there were still twelve people. Even though Ji Jie tried all kinds of "means", he could not reduce the number of female soldiers.
These girls are quite capable, and Ji Jie is impressed by them.
As time went by, Ji Lin saw the clue. She compared the differences between her project and that of the male soldiers, and the result surprised her!
Okay, you Ji Jie, you actually molested my aunt in secret, just wait!
…
In the evening, Ji Jie, who was covered in stinky sweat, returned to his tent, where there was a large wooden bucket. His habit was to take a bath first, then change clothes, and then have dinner.
While scooping water and pouring it on his body, he muttered to himself: "Starting from tomorrow, we will reduce the intensity of their training. It's really not easy for a bunch of girls, ah..."
Ji Jie screamed, and the area where water had been poured was red and painful.
There is a problem with the water!
He reached out and dipped some water, put it under his nose and smelled it. There was a faint strange smell in the water. Needless to say, it must have been drugged.
"Come on, where did you get this water from?" Ji Jie shouted.
"Reporting back to the general, it was drawn from the creek in the southwest!" The soldier was so frightened that he didn't know what happened, so he told the whole process: "On the way back, I met several palace maids, and one of them asked me to
Get some water and wash your hands... By the way, they are the eldest princess's maids. Did they dirty the general's water? I'll go wash it again right away..."
It turned out to be Ji Lin's person, Ji Jie's eyes were on fire!
