With the end of the Ming Dynasty in the past few decades, the warlordization of soldiers is becoming more and more conventional, the strength of the generals depends on the number of personal soldiers, whether they can fight, Li Chengliang covered the sky with one hand in Liaodong, and the Mongolian Jurchen tribes killed were bloody, and they were favored by the Wanli Emperor and the first auxiliary scholar Zhang Juzheng, relying on the three thousand pro-soldiers who can fight in their hands.

These small hills in Tieshan Town are unreliable, and these soldiers under his command are also unreliable, Mao Jue has long wanted to build a regiment that can be used and will not let people fight with their heads.

And unlike Yuan Chonghuan's tactical thinking, Mao Jue did not agree with his strategic layout of gradually defending the castle with cannons, and finally trapping Houjin, not to mention whether he could trap the serfs in the end, this price alone is something that the current Ming Empire cannot afford.

Huang Taiji's defeat to the city of Jingshi has already shown the impracticality of this strategy, and the battle of the Daling River is a sign that this strategy has just been launched and declared bankrupt.

In the later stage, the huge Ming Empire could not consume a small amount of Houjin, forcing Hong Chengchou to take a desperate risk, and fought a decisive battle with the Qing army when he could no longer afford to fight a field battle, and finally lost the 130,000 army of the last main force of the Ming Dynasty. Before the Battle of Songjin, the Ming army still had a seven- or eight-point advantage over the peasant army, but after the Battle of Songjin, the Ming Dynasty was no longer able to deal with the surging peasant uprising, and it collapsed in just a few years and fell into Li Zicheng's chaotic army.

Therefore, Mao Jue believes that even if it is Salhu, the battle of Kaifu Liaotie was all lost, and the Ming army should still not retreat in the city and dare not fight in the field, although the Manchurians can fight, but they still can't escape the natural disadvantages of ethnic minorities, and the Ming can afford to lose once, two, three, and four large-scale decisive battles, but as long as they defeat the main force of the Eight Banners in a decisive battle and kill and injure a large number of Jianzhou Jurchens, Houjin will collapse.

Yuan Chonghuan's five years can be leveled in Liao is not unreasonable, after solving the problem of Jin must be early, compared to the Apocalypse years, Chongzhen still has a good chance in his early years, at least at this time, the party struggle is not as sharp as when Wei Zhongxian was alive, Yuan Chonghuan once also got the command of Liaodong, give him a few years Maybe he really has a chance to fight.

It's a pity that Emperor Chongzhen's impatience and rashness, the order was changed overnight, and Yuan Chonghuan was killed, and after all, the peasant uprising became a scale, and the two-front battle drained the last bit of vitality of the Ming Dynasty.

Liaodong Town is better, at least there are Daming Jiangshan behind the back, at the critical moment Hong Chengchou also took out 130,000 horses out of the customs to fight, but he did not have any backing in Dongjiang Town, Chongzhen ten years of North Korea Bingzi disorder, the Qing army that returned to the division broke through Phi Island along the way, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the island were slaughtered.

So before that, Mao Jue must have an army that can withstand field battles.

Compared with Yuan Chonghuan's many powerful people, rich and soldiers in Liaodong Town, Mao Jue is simply starting from scratch, however, this is also a huge advantage, small means streamlined, efficient, there is no Liaodong Town, the mountains are full of intrigues, conflicts of interest, it means new hope.

But this new hope really feels like the mud can't hold up the wall.

The selection site was set in Mao Jue's first battlefield, Moon Valley, which was the largest of the five fortresses, and the school field was also the most spacious, but it was crowded with recruits early in the morning, there were five or six thousand people, and even He Bao, some of Zhao Cheng's soldiers came to apply.

There are many people, but the quality has dropped.

Originally, women were not allowed to appear on this occasion, but Mao Jue did not hold the two larks, and although the origin of Adriana is unknown, it seems that she is a nobleman, and she is also very knowledgeable about military affairs. It's just that sitting on the platform, this girl is holding back the contempt on her face, Adriana asked Mao Jue in disbelief.

"Young Master, this is the army of the Ming Empire?"

Mao Jue also had a headache, and said that the young and the young left home and the eldest returned, and the row of old goods in front of him was really right about the word old, the one at the front, all trembling in the aisle, and the one in the back was still on crutches, but just like that, he was still wearing the military uniform of the Ming Dynasty and was a real registered soldier! The principle of giving priority to the soldiers made them crowd at the forefront.

Lao Tzu is a pro-soldier, not a nursing home! Before these people and Su Changmei, who had a headache in front of them, finished their ink, Mao Jue had already waved his hand violently.

"Boom away!"

Fortunately, there are genuine soldiers who Liu Chong has come over, tugging on the sleeves of several old men, pulling them out, while being dragged along, while the old man on crutches is still shouting back at the top of his voice.

"General! The small one has beaten the Blue Hoof Pavilion! followed Li Chengliang and Li Ye to crusade against the barbarians, the old man is honest and old, can he still eat! ”

A few old men walked, followed by a few big cakes and faces to be okay, around twenty or thirty years old, and their physique was considered to be strong, but the words in their mouths made Su Changmei, who was in charge of registration and recruitment, all of them were Koreans, and it was estimated that they got the news from North Korea Province, and they couldn't find it on the household registration in Tieshan Town.

"Drag it away!"

These two waves of people, twenty minutes or so have been wasted, and then look back, there are still five or six thousand people in the thick sea of people, according to this progress, Mao Jue can't choose his own pro-corps for half a month, seeing the crowd of recruits with silkworm heads, gritting his teeth fiercely, Mao Jue simply took Su Changmei out.

I saw Mao Jue and the generals just now, and the generals selected by Leng Buding disappeared all of a sudden, and the crowd was even more restless.

In the stunned gaze of the crowd, I don't know when, Mao Jue stood on the city wall with his flag, and in front of him, Su Changmei shouted like a pig.

"The general has an order, all the recruits will march to Jialao Mountain, and only those who can keep up with the banner can apply, otherwise they will be eliminated on the spot! Walk! ”

Before the words were finished, Mao Jue and dozens of his own soldiers had already made earth baskets and descended from the city, and then the horse's hooves neighed outside the city gate, and he saw more than a dozen Iron Mountain banners rushing towards the road, and the five or six thousand strong men crowded in the Moon Valley suddenly ran like a landslide, shouting and running frantically down the mountain.

As soon as it came up, it was a marathon, and the Moon Valley was almost thirty miles away from Garao Peak, during which it had to go uphill and down the valley, which was enough to toss, but this time it started running, the crowd level was quickly pulled away, and the old and weak were far behind, and the young and middle-aged people who really had physical strength could quickly catch up to the front even if they were crowded on the side of the point.

When a soldier fights, even if you don't care about courage, martial arts, or anything, physical fitness has to be the most basic requirement, maybe a vicious battle will take a whole day, maybe the last knife will be the turn, and the one who shoots the last arrow will be the winner!

I really don't know how the conscription is carried out in other places, Mao Jue's scene is really lively, thousands of people over the mountains and mountains, running and shouting at the same time, I don't even know who the dog is following in it, barking around the crowd and going around in circles, thirty miles, Mao Jue's fast horse ran to it in more than half an hour, and then set up a card at the entrance of the school field in Fort Garlau, and set up a leaky jar for timekeeping.

Running hot and sweaty, the panting strong man followed up one after another, and the water in the jar also flowed out drop by drop along the hole under the jar, when a jar of water was almost gone, Mao Jue categorically ordered the door to be closed, and the soldiers at the gate of the barracks slammed the two heavy wooden doors slammed shut, and locked the crowd behind outside the school field.

More than 4,000 were eliminated at once, and only more than 1,700 people came in, although they were all embarrassed and panting like dogs, but at least there was no old and weak, and in Tieshan Town, a group of strong men with the best physical fitness were all selected by Mao Jue.

But they didn't have time to breathe, the second round of selection began again, Liu Chong took his own soldiers to pull up twenty tents, twenty people went in together, and quickly came out in less than a minute, some people were cheering and took a slip to line up in front of the barracks, and some were annoyed and patted their heads and hung their heads and went out from the other side.

"What is this testing?"

Mao Jue's method is really fresh, even if Adriana has never seen it, there is a blackboard about three meters away, on which a few crooked mountain characters are written with red, black, yellow, and green pens, and the person who comes in has to answer the whispered question of the pro-soldier examiner within a few seconds, and the mountain characters pointed to with a wooden stick are up and down, red and green!

Curiosity kills cats, I can't help but be curious, this foreign girl looks like a good cat again, and asks Mao Jue with a sweet smile, but secretly, this girl's neat teeth have been bitten and gurgling.

I've been tricked by Mao Jue too many times these days, and every time I ask God! If God, if the old man could hear Adriana's call, this girl would not have been reduced to a slave girl in the East.

But this time, this girl was going to roll her eyes, but Mao Jue answered her rarely, pointing to the tent, Mao Jue said naturally.

"The direction of Shanzi tests the eyesight, and the enemy cannot be seen clearly on the battlefield that cannot be seen clearly, and the small voice is a test of hearing, if the command cannot be heard on the battlefield, how can it be fought, as for whether the red, yellow, blue, and green test is color blind, if you can't even see the color of the command's flag, you don't need to go on the battlefield."

"With good physical fitness, these are normal, you can be regarded as a half-qualified soldier, as for the discipline in the back, martial arts and archery or something, it can all be tempered in training and war, and the military camp can turn the most timid people into warriors, I believe this."

This is almost copied from the physical fitness test and physical examination of recruits in later generations, but it is indeed fresh in this era, even in the West, the selection of soldiers is either based on the status of a noble knight, or the limbs are intact and pulled up, I really haven't considered these, looking at Mao Jue who counts in front of me, this foreign girl whose heart is above the top, and her eyes unconsciously bring a wave of admiration.

In the afternoon, the second test was also completed, more than 1,600 people were eliminated more than 300, the waves washed the sand, and the remaining strong men crowded in front of the Dianjiang platform with excitement......
