Anti Qing

Chapter 95 Officials
Less than two miles ahead of the east gate of Xiangyang City, stands a grand military academy.

This military academy was built during the Hongwu period, and was expanded many times in the Ming Dynasty. The regulations are extremely large, and it is more than enough to hold tens of thousands of horses.

Now the entire school grounds are dominated by black.

Li Zijing's front battalion flags and banners were all black, the banners waved above the school field, the flags intersected with the big banners, and they buzzed in mid-air.

Outside the school grounds, soldiers from the former battalion pulled up black banners, and in front of the banners were full of soldiers from the former battalion in black arrow jackets and armed with knives and guns.

Such a chilling atmosphere made many people hesitate and stop.

Although there is a little less fireworks in the market, it makes those Xiangyang people who come to apply for the recruitment unconsciously stand upright.

Some timid ones, even seeing such a scene from a distance, were so frightened that they turned back and gave up the idea of ​​joining the army.

It was also Li Zijing's intention to set the school grounds into such a solemn scene.

In the army, it is necessary to do military things, and the atmosphere of fireworks is what the people should have. As a gathering place for sergeants to review, the school grounds should have an even more majestic atmosphere.

The Shun soldier nodded firmly.

"What department is he from?"

Indeed, there are too many capable people at hand.

The news of the expansion of the Houying army had not spread throughout Xiangyang, and everyone flocked to such a generous welfare package.

In the next few days, when talking about the camp affairs such as the record of the soldiers and soldiers on the day of the expansion of the army, Liu Ziyi struggled with his right hand and left hand for a long time, and found a usable person.

Lu Xianyun's eyes lit up, and she quickly beckoned me to come over.

The person in front of him was wearing a plain white shirt and a net scarf. He looked very polite, but he didn't seem a bit strong.

Gu Jun'en nodded, and did not do much research. Chongzhen's eight-year Juren is still under investigation. If it is a mule or a horse, you will know if you pull it out.

Although Gu Junen can read, it is limited to reading and can only understand military books. Even Li Zijing can understand the words I wrote.

When Wu Zhaosheng said that, he was also uneasy, but he wondered whether the back camp had any intention of discriminating against me.

Seeing that the Juren had been summoned to retreat, the literati hiding in the crowd also raised their hands and shouted softly.

There are at least hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside Xiangyang, and there are countless refugees who come to escape disasters every day. If you want to coerce you, you can easily pull up an army of 8 to [-] people.

"He first wrote down his name and where he lives now, and someone will report it later. If you ask, he will record our place of origin."

With [-] veterans teaching [-] new recruits, the ratio of recruits to veterans is close to one to one, and it is more difficult to control.

There are thousands of people in the entire back camp, and those who cannot read and write can be pulled out temporarily to handle government affairs, even one in a thousand has arrived.

Lu Xianyun smiled slightly, raised her hand as a signal, and waited for everyone to quiet down before continuing.

"Just that high."

If I were to handle government affairs, everyone would be able to understand the compilation booklet I wrote, and the trouble would be less.

"Dare to ask that military master, what do you want to do?"

Wu Zhaosheng didn't dare to doubt anything, so he opened his mouth.

If there are more than 2 people, no one can beat them when they go out, and it is difficult to get things done.

But he had a dream and met an opportunity.

"General, the big one will pass Juren in the later court."

The situation was just as Li Zijing expected. Although there were no good rumors about the rear camp in Xiangyang City during that time, there were still huge crowds of people on the day of the army expansion.

I saluted unrestrainedly, and followed a Shunjun soldier to the school grounds, sitting behind a row of high-set tables and chairs.

Soldiers are not many, but fine.

During those few days of preparations for military expansion, Liu Ziyi also discovered another problem.

In troubled times, the reputation of the late dynasty has long been valuable, especially in Xiaoshun, few of the literati who were collected and recorded were those who were successful in the late Ming Dynasty.

As for Hao Yaoqi, Liu Ziyi didn't even ask any questions at all, just thinking, that guy might even be able to write his own name.

If you can't even bear this atmosphere, you will be deserters when you join the army and go to the battlefield. It's better to scare them away as soon as possible.

In Lu Xianyun's previous life, she was surrounded by students, even if she had a high level of education, she knew many characters without hyphenation.

When Bad arrived in Dengzhou, he obtained a fortune that could last for a period of time.

Lu Xianyun is a military adviser and is responsible for management affairs, so she can sit here and write brochures all the time.

"Is it that complicated?"

In terms of quality, it is worse than the [-] mob.

"What is that going to do?"

These hiding literati raised their hands one after another and actively participated in the retreat.
Wu Zhaosheng was originally a literati, and when he joined the army, he rarely came to fill in the silence, but he also knew that he would be selected based on his physique.

There was a booklet under the desk case. Wu Zhaosheng thought it was an exam, so he opened it and looked, but found that there was not a word in it.

"The rear battalion is still being rebuilt, and there is a shortage of a small number of clerks to handle battalion affairs. They will be recruited during those Japanese military expansions."

Liu Ziyi's funds are not limited, and of course he intends to grab them wherever he goes, just like the thieves did later on.

In the back camp, counting Liu Ziyi himself, there were only eight people who could read.

If you want to gain a foothold in Jingxiang, you need to completely abandon the style of fleeing and establish a formal military attendance and payment system.

Wu Zhaosheng picked up the brush, dipped the ink under the inkstone, thought for a while, then rolled up the sleeves of his narrow robe, and wrote at the beginning of the booklet.

Although the number of people in the rear battalion is small now, counting Gu Junen's 1 soldiers, there are still [-] soldiers, but all of them have seen blood on the battlefield.

It's just that those who came to join the army were mostly yellow and thin and ragged, and even young and strong among them.

"His name is Wu Zhaosheng, right? I will remember you, but now there are many officials in the post camp, so I went to sit here, and no one told him what to do."

I never thought that in that era, the literacy rate was so high.

After all, the school grounds are full of soldiers, and that posture is just a joke.

"Among them, there is no fame in the later dynasty, right?"

Those who meet the requirements for conscription are satisfied, and they all want to try and take a look, and they are waiting and watching.

Gu Junen was relatively stable, so he was assigned to the position behind the door.

Lu Xianyun took a step back, looking around at everyone.

"General Wu, is there no chance of being enlisted in the army?"

"Oh?"

Liu Ziyi's vision for the Houying is only as high as pulling it out to fight, and it needs to have all internal organs.

Therefore, Gu Junen lacked a new task today, not after the expansion of the army, first find a group of literate people and pull them to the back camp to serve as civil servants.

I waved my little hand and said.

When he finished speaking, everyone still understood why, and when the news spread, there was a little commotion among the crowd.

"The great Chongzhen eighth year Kuiyou Imperial Examination, named Wu Zhaosheng."

The lower the fame of raising people and retiring from scholars, the more they will be excluded in Xiaoshun.

"They can't tell each other, come to the school to have a try, and they will be included in the recruitment list as before, and the salary will be generous."

But is such a team useful?

Those 2 people are still far from the establishment of a Xiaoshun main field battalion, but it is the limit that the battalion can support at present.

The rear battalion soldier looked at it with high eyebrows, and then continued to raise his head and stare at the small door behind.
