Valley Emperor

Outside the recruiting point, Li Xuan, accompanied by Qian Mengjiu and others, watched the generals under him select soldiers one by one. At this time, Qian Mengjiu took a step closer and said, "Your Majesty, can our recruitment conditions be improved? Some, if we still follow the current conditions, I am afraid that hundreds of people will have to be recruited today, and we still have a lot of places to go!"

Li Xuan looked at the long-distance recruitment queue ahead, and also felt that the current recruitment requirements could be improved!

In order to recruit enough soldiers, the new army of the Tang Dynasty not only received good treatment, but also the conditions for recruiting soldiers can be considered relatively low. The requirements for physical strength and height are not high, and even the age is relaxed to fourteen to forty years old.

At this time, Zeng Ziwen also said: "According to Wei Chen's knowledge, the recruitment of Xingquan prefects only requires strong and able-bodied people under the age of 30. The quality of the recruits we are recruiting now is probably worse than that of the Fucheng. !"

Li Xuandao: "In this case, then improve the corresponding conditions, but also consider that the poor children will not be full for a long time, as long as the height and age pass, the physical requirements should still maintain the current standard, and then as long as you eat well Physical fitness can always make up for it!"

People these days are generally malnourished. If the physical requirements are too high, there may not be one qualified person among the ten applicants.

After three months of training and nutritional supplements, the soldiers of the Datang New Army will greatly improve their physical strength. Therefore, when recruiting soldiers, it does not matter if their physical fitness is slightly poor. The key is to have a foundation, such as height. .

Speaking of this, Li Xuan said again: "In addition, you must always remember that the recruits you recruit must be children of farmers, and you must not recruit all kinds of idle people, especially second-rate children!"

Qian Mengjiu said: "I understand that the soldiers we recruited before were all children of peasant families!"

Li Xuan recruited soldiers to expand his army to build an army, not a bandit gang, so he doesn't need so-called knights with high martial arts skills. kind.

Because of this, we can better build a disciplined army that can play in formation!

In the new army of the Tang Dynasty, whether they were spearmen or musketeers, they did not rely on personal martial arts, but fought in neat queues. They did not need any strong martial arts, but strictly obeyed orders.

Retracting his gaze towards the queue of recruited soldiers in front, Li Xuan turned to look at his uncle Bai Yunqi, and said, "How's the consolation of the more than 200 Ming army prisoners going?"

Hearing Li Xuan's question, Bai Yunqi immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, half of the Ming army prisoners are willing to join our new Tang army, and Wei Chen is convincing the remaining half of them. If nothing else, these Ming army prisoners Most of them will join my Datang New Army!"

In the Tang Dynasty, Bai Yunqi had already recruited and trained several batches of Ming army prisoners in succession. He was the most experienced person in the Tang Dynasty to persuade and train prisoners. After recruiting prisoners many times, he also found a lot of ways. , It's only a few days before and after, but half of the Ming army prisoners have joined the Datang New Army, which shows that his work is not bad.

Seeing that Bai Yunqi was quite confident, Li Xuan nodded slightly. He still trusts Bai Yunqi's ability to recruit prisoners. He is really not good at leading troops to fight. Li Xuan has given him several opportunities to lead troops. Now, but there is nothing outstanding about it, not even the rules and regulations, there will always be more or less mistakes, but this person's ability to brainwash the prisoners is really not bad, if he recruits prisoners, Li Xuan It's more reassuring.

Therefore, he did not ask too much about the details of Baiyun's strange recruiting of prisoners. Anyway, he didn't care much about how to recruit prisoners, and even if these Ming army prisoners joined the new Tang army, except for soldiers with special skills, such as archers, sword and shield soldiers, Except for the cavalry, others will be incorporated into the baggage team and used as ordinary young men, which belong to the second-class combat power.

The core units of the new army of the Tang Dynasty, such as spearmen and musketeers, would not incorporate these Ming army prisoners. This is not to say that they are not good, but Li Xuan wants a pure new army. He didn't want to let the old soldiers bring bad luck to the farmer's children who were recruited after a lot of hard work.

The first day of recruiting in Liushazhuang was quite smooth. Although the requirements for recruiting soldiers had been increased on this day, they still recruited more than 60 qualified soldiers.

And the people below said that the news of the recruitment of soldiers by the Datang New Army has spread to the surrounding villages in recent days. Many young people from small villages have come to apply for the recruitment, and many are still on their way.

For this reason, Li Xuan plans to stay in Liusha Zhuang for a while to see if he can recruit more qualified recruits.

The next day, many people came to apply for the recruitment, but Li Xuan discovered that a very special person appeared among the recruited soldiers.

The man seemed extremely out of place when he was in the queue, and even had an uncomfortable look on his face.

And the people around him are also pointing at him, revealing a look of disbelief!

Such a special person that Li Xuan noticed him at first sight when he arrived at the application point. This person is too conspicuous.

Regardless of how well-dressed the soldiers were, most of them were dressed in short robes. Only this young man was wearing a tattered robe, and although the robe was tattered, Li Xuan recognized it at a glance. A piece of Confucian clothing, the exclusive clothing of scholars.

what happened? There are still scholars who ran over to defect to themselves?

After seeing this scene, even Li Xuan opened his mouth wide, because the world has changed too much, or because he was wrong, or because the apparently down-to-earth young scholar in front of him was so amused that he ran over to apply for the university. Tang Xinjun?

Although it is also stated in the recruitment documents of the new army of the Tang Dynasty, those who can read and write, regardless of age or infirmity, can be hired first, and those with advanced knowledge can be awarded officials, and you can choose any official position below the Shangshu. What Xuan will give, even if there is no such official position, Li Xuan can make one for you on the spot.

It can be seen that the Tang Dynasty's desire for cultural people!

There is no way, except for those rich children who were forcibly brought in, there were only a dozen or so people in the huge Tang Dynasty who could read and write official documents, and there were only a few people with slightly better literary talent, so the Tang Dynasty Anyone who can read and write is desperately eager. If they have read books for several years and can write official documents well, if nothing else, a man cannot escape.

At this time, if a scholar came to join him, Li Xuan, Li Xuan would dare to give him the official hat of a bachelor!

Sadly, this never happened!

Those scholars who saw the Tang Dynasty ran away like ghosts. Li Xuan even used the method of holding hostages in order to increase the number of officials in the Tang Dynasty.

And today, there is a scholar running over to join his nondescript Tang Dynasty? How could this not surprise Li Xuan!

Not only was he surprised, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, who were recruiting soldiers in front, were also very surprised when they saw a young scholar in the queue. They immediately sent soldiers to call the young scholar to them.

After seeing them say a few words, Fang Dongquan personally led him to Li Xuan.

At this time, Li Xuan was able to see this young scholar clearly. He was estimated to be 20 years old. With an obvious scar.

From his appearance, it can be seen that this person is extremely abject!

However, although his appearance is extremely down-to-earth, this person can be seen at a glance just by standing there. This is a serious, down-to-earth scholar, not the kind of fake who doesn't know big characters and wears Confucian clothes!

He only heard him say, "Student Ma Wei has seen His Majesty!"

Li Xuan looked at him and said, "Oh, did you ever go to school? What scriptures did you treat?"

This sentence is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to answer. They don't even know what Li Xuan asked, because they can't understand it literally. This admission is not a question of whether you have read or gone to school. Instead, it asks whether you have passed the exam as a scholar, and what scriptures are administered is to ask you what scriptures you study.

Those who don't know big characters will be confused when they hear this!

But any scholar can hear what Li Xuan is asking.

Hearing Li Xuan's question, Ma Wei immediately said: "Report to Your Majesty, the student entered school in the thirty-sixth year, and he will be in charge of the book!"

I rely on, really is a scholar, I heard right!

Li Xuan's question just now was just an ordinary inquiry among scholars. When scholars meet, they usually ask if they have entered school, and they will take the middle-township examination in a few years and become a Jinshi. This is to determine seniority and determine the title and the way of communication.

A Juren will definitely not be brothers and sisters with a Tongsheng who is not even a scholar!

Li Xuan's question was just polite. Originally, he thought that this person would say "the student is stupid and has not yet entered school". I didn't expect him to be really a scholar, oh my god, his education is even taller than his original height, and his original body is not a scholar!

Just such a talented person, how could he be in such a state of desolation~www.wuxiaspot.com~ How could he come over to join his own rebel army?

Don't look at the poor scholars in this novel, but that's relative. No matter how poor scholars are, there are many ways for people to make a living. Being a school teacher, or even just writing letters to people and copying documents, then Income is not comparable to ordinary people.

You can even pick a job like copywriting and clearing books!

No matter how bad the mix is, it won't mix into the appearance of Ma Wei in front of him!

Perhaps seeing the doubts in Li Xuan's eyes, this Ma Wei said: "The student was expelled last year because of his convicted dignitaries, and he was banned from taking the exam for life. Later, the thieves had to kill them all, so that the student's family was destroyed, and the student was hiding all the way from Liuzhou. After being chased by officers and soldiers, we escaped to this place only after crossing the mountain!"

When he spoke, Li Xuan could clearly feel the resentment in his tone. This was a resentment that was going to break through the sky!
