After almost a day of drawing numbers, a total of more than 2,400 people in the army were allocated land. They couldn't wait to ask someone to bring a message to their families and move to Xiaquyang as soon as possible. This was also Wenyuan's announcement of military households to farm.
One of the benefits - attracting people.
There are more than 400 people who have not been allocated land because they are all single households. They were a little frustrated at first. But as soon as they left the school grounds, their treatment was very different. The matchmakers and women leaders in the city went out collectively to pull these people.
That's called enthusiasm, sergeant!
"Oh, brother, you look so handsome. Do you want me to introduce you to one?"
"Hey, where are you from and what do you look like?"
"Isn't she the one from Quyang? This girl is twenty-eight years old. She is gentle and virtuous. She is handsome and has the appearance of a prosperous husband."
"But...but I'm in a military camp and have no place to live."
"What are you afraid of? The girl's family is local and they can't find a room for you to stay in?"
"But I...I am poor and have no money to marry a wife."
"No money? It doesn't matter if you don't have money. My daughter's parents have said that she doesn't need anything, as long as she wants it,"
"I...I..."
"What, you still don't want to do this? They also said, I really don't have any money, so I can give you some advice. I just want to see that you are a capable young man, so my daughter won't suffer in the future when she gets married."
"No...not...me?"
"Brother, tell me what you want. Otherwise, I have several girls here who ask me to be a matchmaker. How about you follow me and have a look, and then we can make a decision after you find your match."
…………
Outside the school grounds, this kind of matchmaking scene was everywhere. Many outgoing young women even went to battle in person to find the person they wanted. More than 400 single military households were dragged here and there, like a small boat in the storm. Their expressions
But there is happiness mixed with pain.
After the land was divided, the atmosphere in Xiaquyang suddenly changed. Although the soldiers were trained more diligently, the county town was also full of joy. Almost every few days, there would be a family celebrating a happy event.
In addition, the sergeants of the army wrote letters or brought oral messages. Starting from mid-November, relatives of soldiers whose families lived in other places rushed to Xiaquyang City one after another. By the end of November, there were almost more than a thousand relatives who had arrived.
Households, five to six thousand people, and this number is still increasing.
The sudden increase of so many people made Wenyuan's burden even heavier. The housing problem was easy to solve. The population of Xiaquyang was greatly reduced due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion. There were many abandoned old houses in the county. The main difficulty was food! Although these soldiers
Most of the family members brought some stored grain, but once they finished eating, they couldn't let them work on the land hungry, so they had to lend grain to them to support the next autumn harvest. For this reason, Wen Yuan asked Zhang Jia to go to Julu in person.
I went to the county and bought and borrowed 10,000 dendrobium from Guo Dian, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
Things were not peaceful outside of Quyang. In the eleventh month, Dong Zhuo claimed to be Prime Minister and paid homage to unknown people. He entered the court without any intention of entering the court. He went to the palace with swords and shoes, and showed no courtesy as a minister. Dong Zhuo set up troops in the capital, looted property, and killed women.
The common people and everyone in the capital were in danger. They also recruited celebrities and recruited talents for their own use in order to consolidate their status. However, they acted in a perverse way, which greatly dissatisfied the scholars. Therefore, most of the officials appointed by Dong Zhuo later became his enemies.
.
On Yuan Shao's side, Dong Zhuona, Zhou Ao, and Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, recognized Yuan Shao as the governor of Bohai. Yuan Shao recruited troops and horses in Nanpi. In just two months, he gathered 30,000 troops, and even more fierce counselors under his command.
On Cao Cao's side, Dong Zhuo offered Cao Cao the title of Captain of the Valiant Cavalry, but Cao Cao refused. He fled back to his hometown incognito and went to Chenliu. He sold his property and got funding from Wei Zi, a native of Chenliu, to set up a uprising flag. Heroes from all over came to vote for him, and he soon raised money.
There were more than 5,000 rebel soldiers stationed in Xiangyi and were busy sewing clothes and armor and forging weapons.
Han Fu was also appointed as the shepherd of Jizhou by Dong Zhuo this month and was ordered to supervise Yuan Shao. However, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, pretended to be the third public official and wrote to various states and counties, enumerating Dong Zhuo's crimes, saying that he was "forced by Dong Zhuo and had no way to save himself. He urgently hoped for volunteers."
, save the country from danger." Han Fu was in a dilemma, so he discussed with his subordinates and finally decided to raise troops to support Yuan Shao.
At this point, the Kwantung Allied Forces gradually took shape, and in another month, it would be the time Wenyuan agreed to visit Ye City.
At this time, Wenyuan knew that he had to take action.
On November 28th, Wenyuan's soldiers were trained and competed in the school field!
Looking at this group of already quite impressive soldiers, Wen Yuan also had mixed feelings in his heart. After four months of recruiting, selecting, and training soldiers, today, this army that had consumed a lot of Wen Yuan's energy and financial resources had really gone out.
, began to compose the legend of their lives!
The soldiers in the audience were even more excited than Wen Yuan at this time. Not to mention the distant results, the results of today's competition will actually affect their treatment in the next three months. They can upgrade their military ranks and get the robes around them.
Not to mention admiration, you can get better treatment!
Therefore, they have been looking forward to today very much.
When everything was ready, Wen Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and pretended to be calm: "Let's get started!"
He stood up with his jaw open and raised his flag, shouting: "The competition begins!"
Each team then entered the arena. Wen Yuan first looked at the archers' side and saw five human-shaped straw targets in the arena, set up eighty steps away from the contestants. The archers entered by roll call, and every five people took a round.
, Shooting ten arrows, the chiefs of each village will record the results. Ten out of ten are superior, nine out of ten are superior, eight out of ten are above average, and so on.
There is also a field for pike soldiers. There are also five straw men, and five wooden balls are placed around the eyes, throat, heart, lower abdomen, etc. The soldiers hold their guns and stand twenty paces away. Four wooden stakes are set up on the ground along the way. The pikemen must
First go around the four wooden stakes, and then thrust with all your strength. The entire movement must be done in one go. If the straw man is hit and the wooden ball comes out, it is considered a success. If you stab like this ten times in a row, the score calculation is the same as that of the archer!
In addition, there is also a card player field and a competition in the halberdier field is also in full swing.
As for the cavalry, Wenyuan only had a few dozen cavalry at his disposal. They were not organized and could only serve as scouts for the time being. Wenyuan planned to wait until he had enough money in the future and then form a cavalry force.
"Okay!" A burst of cheers suddenly erupted from the spearmen's field! Wen Yuan looked intently and saw that it was Zhang Nan who was on the field. He had already scored seven out of nine shots, ranking high.
At this time, Zhang Nan still had the last shot left, and he sprinted with all his strength for nine consecutive rounds. His forehead was already sweating, but his hand holding the gun was still stable. Zhang Nan was no longer the poor man who made a living by fishing. Back then,
He had worked so hard for a year that he could not even eat a full meal. Several times he wanted to gather a group of people to occupy the mountain and become king and make a living by looting. However, now, he has completely given up on this idea. He has now
He is a village commander under Wen Yuan and a soldier with excellent martial arts skills. Since joining the general, he has been able to eat full meals every day and eat meat every day. Such days could only be seen in dreams before.
Yes. Zhang Nan is dull and less talkative than Jiao Chu, but a belief has already been deeply engraved in his heart. In this life, our life belongs to the general. If anyone dares to go against the general, we will be the first to go up and fight with him.
He works hard!
For this competition, Zhang Nan trained very hard. After every day, he would practice for an extra hour before returning to camp. His best result was nine out of ten thorns, and his average score was eight out of ten.
In addition, during daily training, everyone has to wear sandbags, which is more difficult than during the competition. Maybe it was because I was a little nervous today that I made two mistakes today.
Zhang Nan asked himself deeply: "Is it only the result of No. 7 Middle School? No, absolutely not!"
I saw him take a deep breath, and following the recorder's order, he rushed out like a leopard. In the blink of an eye, he moved several contestants around him to several positions, and then moved left and right to dodge several wooden objects.
The stake was as agile as an ape, and then the spear thrust out like thunder, hitting the straw man right in the throat!
