Chapter 154 Three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people
The racecourse officer quickly sent people into the city to report to the Ministry of War. Lu Jing, the Minister of War, was shocked when he heard this. Damn, is this kid going crazy?
I hurriedly rode my horse and galloped over. I was so anxious that I almost lost my official hat when I dismounted, okay?
"Xiao Chen, what are you doing? These horses are reserved for King Fengyang and have been registered for a long time. You can't touch any of them!" When he saw Xiao Chen, he shouted angrily.
"Master Lu, you are so angry at me, I don't want any of them... I want five thousand horses, no less than one!" Xiao Chen has already picked out the horses and is ready to take them away.
"No, no, come here, drive all the horses back to me, and don't let him take away any of them!" Lu Jing was trembling with anger.
"Here is the king's order flag! I am on duty, who dares to disobey!" Xiao Chen also changed his expression, took out the king's order flag from his arms and raised it high.
"It's not you..." Lu Jing had to kneel down quickly when he saw the words "I am here in person".
"Master Lu, you should know the weight of this flag! You should also know the current situation of our brothers. There is no enmity between the two of us, but please don't force me to quarrel with you!" Xiao Chen's words were full of emotion.
With murderous intent, he is not used to anyone now.
"What do you mean, kid? I don't believe you dare to do anything to me!" Lu Jing just got up and almost fainted when he heard this.
"You are a second-grade official. I can't do anything to you, but the brothers in the racecourse have all watched and listened. This is the royal flag given to me by the emperor. It is like the emperor coming in person. If anyone dares to stop me from doing things,
Kill without mercy!" As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, the brothers in the West Factory unsheathed their swords together, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Those war horses smelled the murderous intent, raised their heads and hoofed together, and neighed loudly!
As the saying goes, everyone knows who Eunuch Xiao is and what these guys in Xichang are.
What's more, they still have the emperor's royal flag. If they dare to stop them again, I'm afraid they will really go on a killing spree!
"Mr. Lu, I'm offended. I'll definitely go to my house in person to apologize. There are other trivial matters to discuss, so I'll take my leave!" He quickly got on his horse and left in a hurry.
Lu Jing was left alone and messy in the wind...
A few days later, Wei Yuntian brought all three thousand soldiers back. Xiao Chen found a school field outside the city and built a temporary military camp with tents to accommodate them.
When Xiao Chen stood on the high platform of the school field to review his troops for the first time, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
They are really old, weak, sick and disabled.
The beards of the older ones have turned gray, and the weak ones can’t stand firmly. The wounded soldiers still have white cloths wrapped around their heads and crutches on their arms. That’s okay. There are also a lot of people who are missing arms and legs.
Damn it, please?
By the way, these people are all qualified to enter Anjifang!
"Bring all the seriously injured and injured patients out to me!" As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, he staggered out and walked out. When his subordinates identified who were behind him, Xiao Chen told them all to get out.
Where are you going? I don't care where you go. Each of you will be given 20 taels of travel fare. You can go wherever you like!
They also asked all those over forty years old, weighing less than 100 kilograms, and those with minor injuries who were unable to go to the battlefield to come out. This time, almost half of them came out... There were more than a thousand people in the darkness, damn it!
We can't drive them all away. If we drive them away, there will be no one left. They will all be incorporated into the logistics force, responsible for meals and escorting grain and grass.
As a result, almost all the rest were deserters, gangsters and soldiers, that is, those who had violated military laws.
There are only more than 1,800 people named...
Each and every one of them stood with no appearance, no one looked good, they smiled playfully and acted casually.
Xiao Chen publicly announced the appointment of Zhuge Xiaosheng as the commander-in-chief of the army and Wei Yuntian as the deputy general. These more than a thousand heads will be handed over to the two of you.
Just practice how you want to practice.
Anyway, I’ll take the first step, otherwise I’ll be too upset!
Zhuge Xiaosheng first asked Wei Yuntian to select 700 people to form a separate musket battalion. Wei Yuntian was responsible for the training. The remaining 1,000 people were organized into ten hundred-man teams, and ten brothers from the West Factory were appointed as
Hundreds of households and hundreds of troops are divided into ten teams, each team is assigned a captain.
Most of the brothers in the West Factory came from the military. Many of them have experienced hundreds of battles. The youngest has also served as a captain and captain, so they have experience in leading troops.
They are the backbone of the army. As long as the skeleton is strong and strong enough, the army will never fall apart.
Appoint a brother who is familiar with military discipline as a military officer, and appoint Liu Mofeng as the military inspector, responsible for supervising military discipline and executing punishments.
Xiao Ye was appointed as the flag officer, in charge of the military flag, and the little princess Duan Ling'er was appointed as the herald. This little girl has outstanding light skills, so she is perfect for this job.
Wen Shanchang was appointed as the military medical officer, and Ye Baiqing was appointed as the military staff officer.
This was all discussed by everyone before.
The next step is to have the Chinese army read out various military regulations. This is a roll call procedure. After the reading is completed, everyone will be asked three times if they heard it clearly. If you are not sure, you can ask now.
"You heard it clearly, these guys are all soldiers, who doesn't know this?"
"It's getting late, isn't it time for dinner?"
"My dear, let's fill our stomachs first. Brothers, please eat more, but if we eat one meal, we will lose one meal."
"I thought I would be able to get out after a few years of hard work, but this time it's better. Our buddy was sentenced to death directly."
"Even if you are punished by death, you still have to travel hundreds of miles to die in Dabeitou. Not only will you be tortured to death, but you won't even be able to return home."
"I will disobey you when I get anxious. I will die on both sides. What else can I do?"
All kinds of strange words and complaints arose one after another, and it gradually became noisy, but Zhuge Xiaosheng pretended not to hear it, ordered the group to disperse and assemble at about nine o'clock.
"Haha, these guys are all really good soldiers. Each one is more difficult to deal with than the last. Believe it or not, there will definitely be a general who cheats on me later. It seems that I need to prepare more boards, sticks and so on.
, so that they can have a taste of my methods!" Liu Mofeng must have sadistic tendencies.
"No need for those things." Zhuge Xiaosheng said calmly.
"General Zhuge, you have never led soldiers since ancient times. Don't even think about telling them about benevolence, righteousness and morality. I also led soldiers back then, and I know that the moral character of these guys is all slippery. No,
Severe punishment will not work," Liu Mofeng said.
This was in the military camp. Liu Mofeng changed his name to Zhuge Xiaosheng to show the strict military discipline.
"Let's go, follow me on a tour and get a feel for their situation." Zhuge Xiaosheng was noncommittal and started to inspect the military camp with Liu Mofeng.
Xiao Chen left the military camp, full of anger and went straight to the household department to ask Chen Wenqi for military pay.
"Master Xiao, your troops have just been assembled and they haven't set out yet. Do you want money?" Chen Wenqi knew the purpose of Xiao Chen's visit as soon as he saw him.
"The troops and horses have not moved yet, but the food and grass go first! I not only want military pay, but also food and grass!" Xiao Chen said.
He is here to fight and litigate, not to make friends.
