Chapter Thirty-ninth Winning Hearts

Although everyone hesitated for a moment, they quickly made a decision.

"Okay." The iron bull slapped the table with its rough and thick palms, then picked up the wine bowl and drank it completely.

Because he was drinking too quickly, he blushed for a moment and said, "The officials are cramps and bones, and they don't treat us as humans. Since Lord Xiaoqi supports us, we will do it."

"You are right." A glimmer flashed in Li Yong's eyes, and he nodded with a heavy emphasis.

"Since all my brothers agree, then I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman," Zhang Sheng said with a smile.

They are grateful to Wu Nian.

According to the agreement, Wu Nian just paid them full military pay, and now he would help them get the part that the general flag was deducted from the general flag Chenggao's hand.

This is completely against the general flag, and Wu Nian has no benefit.

Can these little soldiers be timid?

Did it.

"Okay." Wu Nian curled his smile and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

The four of them drank in the kitchen for a while. Wang Gui walked in from outside, bent down to salute Wu Nian and said, "Lord Xiaoqi. The person has been selected."

"Okay. You go first." Wu Nian nodded and asked everyone to go to the yard first. He went to his room and brought a small box and placed it on the ground.

In the yard, more than a dozen young people were panting. Six of them showed joy, while the rest were dejected.

Wu Nian stood in front of the main hall, clasped his fists at everyone, and said, "Brothers who were not selected. I'm really embarrassed to let you run for so long. Each of them came up and received ten copper plates."

Wang Gui, Li Yong and others looked at Wu Nian in surprise, and then showed admiration.

There were nine people who didn’t choose. Each person costs ten cents, which is ninety cents. You can buy forty-five kilograms of rice.

For them, this is not a small number.

But Wu Nian said he took it out, so he took it out.

Moreover, Wu Nian is really flawless in his work. Those who chose not to choose came happily and left happily.

No one offends, no one complains.

This is a natural material.

"Thank you, Lord Xiaoqi." The bitter gallbladder that was running was almost vomiting out, and the nine people who were panting and dejected were overjoyed when they heard this, and quickly clasped their fists to thank them.

Wu Nian nodded, then bent down and opened the box, revealing the copper coins inside, and asked the nine people to come up one by one, divided ten copper coins, so that they could leave happily.

"Brothers, let's go to the Hundred Houses to report together." Wu Nian said to the rest of the people.

"yes."

Of course, everyone replied in unison. Wu Nian then took out some knives, spears, bows and arrows from the room and sent them to the recruits.

After getting ready, the group went to the Hundred Houses in a mighty manner.

There are only thirteen officials in the hundred households, but there are also some civil servants who manage daily lists, food and supplies.

There are only five people in the small banner of Wu Nian. However, the names on the roster are full.

That is, a paper soldier.

Wu Nian found the civil servant in charge of the roster and replaced the new recruits' names.

After doing these trivial things, Wu Nian brought everyone to the open space in front of his terraced house and asked Li Yong to lead everyone in line.

This is what a small flag looks like.

Six spearmen (shield soldiers), four archers, and one small flag.

The court has not had a war coat for many years, and the recruits have no war coat, so they have to find a way to get it.

There are also weapons that were confiscated, not big guns, but spears.

When you have money, you have to let the blacksmith make unified weapons.

We are a regular army, not a miscellaneous army.

"Brothers, practice every three days, starting from today. Li Yong. I will order you to take charge of archers. Iron Niu. I will order you to take charge of spearmen. You will teach the training of new recruits."

Wu Nian raised his head and was full of power.

"yes."

Li Yong and Tieniu were not surprised, but responded very well.

Immediately, Wu Nian asked the soldiers to train, and he picked up the big gun himself and planned to train. The human body is tempered into steel.

Now he seems to be able to intimidate people, but when he really goes to the battlefield, he is just a stronger soldier, and he still has to practice and keep practicing.

Li Yong whispered a few words to Wang Gui and asked him to lead the troops. He came to Wu Nian and said, "Lord Xiaoqi. What should we do for lunch?"

Of course, you have to take care of the food when you come to the military camp to practice.

According to the military rules of the Great Chu State, soldiers are not allowed to leave the military camp at will.

The rice they received was a salary, not a daily food. The food they ate was handed over to the chefs by hundreds of households and cooked for soldiers every day.

Now that the military management is loose, this batch of food has certainly been embezzled by officials.

Wu Nian had a solution to this and said generously: "I will be responsible. When noon, we will go buy food. According to the standard of three bowls of rice and one egg for each person."

I can't bear to leave my children and can't get a wolf.

If you want to train a good soldier, you have to invest a lot.

Li Yong took a deep look at Wu Nian. If the military officers of the Great Chu State were like Wu Nian, then the army of the Great Chu State would be invincible in the world.

What are you afraid of?

"Yes." Li Yong put his feet together and bent down deeply at Wu Nian.

Practicing is of course very hard, especially for new recruits.

But during lunch, the recruits immediately became excited when they saw white rice and boiled eggs.

Eggs.

They can't eat such precious ingredients a few times a year.

It's great to be a soldier.

"Everyone. This egg was not sent by the court, but was paid out of your own pocket by Lord Xiaoqi. "Liu Yong took a deep breath and said loudly.

"Thank you, Lord Xiaoqi." Tie Niu was the first to respond, stopping his chest and waist and shouting loudly.

Then came Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng.

These veterans knew that Wu Nian was a human being and reacted quickly. The recruits were stunned.

This official is really a good official.

He actually paid out of his own pocket to buy us eggs.

"Thank you, Lord Xiaoqi." The recruits took a deep breath and arranged in an orderly manner.

"Don't care. This is what you should do. After all, being someone else's soldier is easy. Being my soldier, it's really hard to train once every three days."

Wu Nian smiled slightly and said.

Everyone knows that this is a polite word. Everyone is a military household, what do you know.

These officials have a lot of land at home.

Not only do they eat empty salary and drink soldiers' blood, but they also ask the soldiers to help farm and repair houses.

What is it to do once in three days?

When you are in spring, it is really tiring to help the officials farm.

Everyone is grateful to Wu Nian when they are clear.

After dinner, the soldiers practiced even more vigorously. I can’t let my eggs down to Lord Xiaoqi.

The military camp is now empty, and soldiers are scattered in the hundred households.

Wu Nian led his own small flag to practice in the military camp, working hard.

Soon the entire hundred households found out.
