Chapter 187
"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The loud sound of gongs and drums made Liu Wei, who was wolfing down in the lobby of Yuelai Inn, look up.

"what's going on?"

"My lord, I'll ask!" Zhan Mu, who was eating with Liu Wei, hurriedly got up, looked out, and asked the child.

The sound of gongs and drums still continued, and Zhan Mu, who was inquiring about the news, quickly returned to Liu Wei, and said in a low voice: "My lord, it is the imperial court that is recruiting generals!"

After years of wars, there were not many soldiers left in the Song Dynasty. Except for a general like Han Shizhong, even Yue Fei, when he was in Niutoushan, only had 2000 troops put together improvised.

Therefore, it is quite normal to recruit brave men in the big cities of Bashu, which has a relatively large population.

"I have to do this kind of thing once every day. I just can't stand it! Those who are willing to work hard have already gone, not to mention beating gongs and drums, even if they are beating their own buttocks, there are not many of them!" Xiao Xiao Second, when serving tea and water, he couldn't help complaining.

This kind of noisy conscription method was actually a norm in ancient times. After all, there are not many ways to convey information in this era. Only in this way can information be conveyed to more people.Liu Wei also knows that under the current situation, there are not many people like Yue Fei joining the army. Others who entered the barracks were either forced by others or forced by life. After all, they had no choice but to join the army.

"Second Brother, are these recruits the Imperial Army or the Xiang Army?" Liu Wei took advantage of the opportunity of the second brother to be at the table, and hurriedly asked.

"Forbidden Army? Where can we see the real Forbidden Army in Hanzhong now? The real Forbidden Army is to protect the emperor!"

The little second brother seemed to be a little angry, and he couldn't help but speak louder, so that the shopkeeper shouted wildly at the counter: "Little dog, you want to go away! If you say these outrageous words, don't wait." Officers and soldiers are here to arrest you, I will crush you to death right now!"

As if he was often scolded by the shopkeeper, the young second brother didn't show a nervous look on his face, he just stuck out his tongue and said in a low voice to Liu Wei: "General Wu is recruiting in this world, I heard that the conditions No, it's a pity that I'm the only son at home, and I have an old lady to take care of, otherwise I'll all go, so I don't want to be so useless here!"

After saying this, without waiting for Liu Wei to react, the second brother quickly packed up his things and left.

"General Wu?"

The folks are actually very at a loss about the imperial court's military system. As the saying goes, every line is like a mountain, especially in the period when the official titles of the Song Dynasty were quite complicated. It's totally figured out.

For example, regarding the title of the leading general, as long as the folks see someone who can issue orders and command a certain number of soldiers and horses, they will collectively call him a general. As for whether the general is commanding 100 or 1 people , no one will care at all.

Therefore, the younger brother told Liu Wei that it was "General Wu" who was recruiting soldiers now, but Liu Wei couldn't judge from this information whether it was Wu Jie who was recruiting.

"My lord, why don't I go out and ask, don't find the wrong backer!"

Liu Wei frowned slightly, and Zhan Mu immediately understood, and immediately volunteered, and Liu Wei approved of his actions.Anyway, the gongs and drums are still beating outside at this time, so there is no need for Zhan Mu to run too far, and according to what the younger brother said to Zhan Mu just now, at least so far, there has been no such thing as "forced recruitment" in Hanzhong , Liu Wei doesn't have to worry about Zhan Mu being dragged away and unable to come back.

"I really don't understand, what's the benefit of being a soldier of the imperial court? You just think so! If it's me, I won't do it!" The steamed buns are not cheap, they are big white steamed buns with sliced ​​beef sandwiched in them, and a steamed bun costs ten cents, and Lu Hong, the big eater, has eaten a full six of them since he sat down on his buttocks and still hasn't stopped.

Glancing at the empty plate in front of Lu Hong, Liu Wei curled his lips involuntarily, thinking in his heart that ordinary families might not be able to support Lu Hong.

Zhan Mu quickly turned around, and as soon as he entered, Liu Wei saw the joy on his face.

"It should be good news after all."

Sure enough, Zhan Mu excitedly told Liu Wei that the General Wu recruited on the street today was not Wu Jie, but at any rate he was Wu Jie's younger brother Wu Lin, and he recruited even Wu Lin's personal soldiers!
In ancient times, being a soldier was also a technical job. What kind of soldier you become and what kind of general you are with will not only affect your future promotion, but even the most direct impact is life and death. If you accidentally join the cannon fodder team, you will be killed It's just that I think I'm unlucky.

"What are the conditions they recruited?" Although Liu Wei didn't care about the treatment at all, all he thought about was how to climb up as soon as possible so as to facilitate the formation of his own strength, but there is no harm in understanding, at least in the future Corresponding treatment standards can be formulated.

Zhan Mu understood it in detail, and he said it all over again. After Liu Wei took notes carefully, he asked Zhan Mu if there was any special recruitment of generals.

Isn't that right, if Liu Wei is allowed to go in and start as a big soldier, who knows when he will be promoted.

"My lord, I didn't find out about this. After all, he is already Wu Lin's personal soldier, and he should have more chances of promotion than ordinary soldiers!" Zhan Mu's soldier was right on this point, but Liu But he will not be satisfied with it.

"I gonna go see!"

After thinking for a while, Liu Wei finally decided to find out by himself.But by the time Liu Wei picked up the account and went out, those recruited had already gone away.In desperation, Liu Weizhi inquired all the way, and finally found a wooden platform specially set up for recruiting soldiers next to the Yamen in Hanzhong City.

There were couplets hanging on both sides of the table, and Liu Wei didn't bother to understand the content. He only carefully looked at the soldiers around the table, and walked over slowly after feeling that it was the same thing.

Just like the little brother in the Yuelai Inn said, it is very difficult to recruit brave men in Hanzhong City nowadays. Liu Wei saw the place where the recruiting platform was registered, and there was a sparse group of people who did not say anything. Most of the crooked melons were still long, and there was even a person who obviously had long and short feet, and they were also in the queue.

Seeing such a scene, Liu Yi didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.On the other hand, the spectators around, among them there are many burly men with sloppy faces and strong bodies, just by looking at that kind of momentum, they know that they are definitely not good people, but such people have no intention of serving the country at all, they just hold their hands together, Sit on the sidelines.

At this time, Liu Wei couldn't help but think of the question Anna asked when he just entered the city: There are so many Song people, why can't they win against the much smaller number of Jin people?

"Excuse me, if you think you have some ability, can you apply for an official position here?"

It was impossible to see Wu Lin in this kind of place, and Liu Yi did not have such unrealistic fantasies.After repeatedly looking at this recruiting point, Liu Wei determined his target on a middle-aged general in armor.

The officer and soldier did not sit behind the registration table, but stood by the side like Liu Wei, looking at the applicants coldly, frowning from time to time, with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

"Ok?"

Liu Wei suddenly came over to ask a question, and asked for an official position as soon as he opened his mouth, which immediately attracted the suspicious look of the general.

Feeling that the other party's eyes were sizing him up and down, Liu Wei didn't deliberately pretend to be majestic or righteous, but just maintained a standard standing posture. As long as the general looked at him, Liu Wei would stand still for as long as he wanted, not to mention his body. Didn't even bat an eyelid!
Not blinking is a skill. When Liu Wei first joined the army, just to practice this military posture, his eyes were turned red countless times, and the tears that flowed down were enough for a catty. !

"What a big heart, but it looks like a seedling! Do you know what kind of soldiers we are recruiting?"

"I know! General Wu's personal soldier!" Liu Wei replied loudly with the energy in his dantian.

"Since you are a personal soldier, you must be the strongest. What are your skills, you want to be an official when you come?"

The middle-aged general seemed quite satisfied with Liu Wei's performance, so he didn't kick Liu Wei away, but talked to Liu Wei with interest.

"My lord, I came here from Xianyang City. In order to survive, I led my brothers to fight Jin Wushu and face to face with Jin Danzi. I killed hundreds if not thousands of golden dogs!"

"Oh?"

Although Liu Wei's words are true and false, but the number of enemies killed is not false. Moreover, Liu Wei can feel that the general in front of him is also the kind who has really fought fiercely on the battlefield. You should be able to see the strength in him. That murderous look!
"Did I hear correctly just now? You and your brother even fought against Jin Wushu?"

"My lord, it can't be regarded as a confrontation. I just keep sneaking up on the soldiers and horses that cannibalize the Golden Wushu! If I have an army of tens of thousands, I have the confidence to kill the Golden Wushu!"

"what!"

The general smiled, raised his finger and pointed to the long queue at the recruiting registration office, and asked Liu Wei, "How many thousands of troops will I give you?"

"My lord, I don't want any soldiers like this!"

Liu Wei just glanced at it, then simply shook his head, "If the soldiers don't have enough ability to defend the country and kill the enemy to serve their lives, then staying in the barracks will be a waste of food and military resources!"

"Well said! Since that's the case, I want to see what kind of ability you have. If what you say is true, you call your brothers, and I will take you to meet the general. As for what you can get What kind of official position depends on your own ability!"

It should be said that being able to get what the general said was a good start, but at this time Liu Wei was thinking, how can he display his abilities?There is no golden dog here, so it is impossible for him to compete with those crooked melons and split dates, that would be invincible!
