After the site selection of the mushroom valley city wall was completed, Wei Zheng immediately ushered in a major event that the tiger and leopard army was about to face, expanding the army...

As the saying goes, 'a good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail'. In this society that emphasizes literature over military force, a key factor in making the people change this viewpoint from the bottom of their hearts, let more than 2,000 young people take the initiative to join the Tiger and Leopard Army, and form an army that is truly cohesive and loved by the ordinary people, is to improve the treatment and political status of military personnel.

In the past, when he only had schoolbag troops under his command, Wei Zheng could not truly reflect it.

However, now there are more people under his command, not only soldiers, craftsmen, but also ordinary people. In the small area of the Tiger and Leopard Army, he broke the concept of emphasizing literature over military force and despising craftsmen, slowly put all kinds of ideas in his heart into practice, and began to change the Ming Dynasty that was rotten to the bottom step by step.

After returning to the barracks, the two orders spread rapidly among the more than 2,000 people in the barracks.

"The latest military order of the Haw Par Army: Within the Haw Par Army, all craftsmen enjoy the treatment of Haw Par Army officers, such as superb skills, and after a series of selections, they can further enjoy the treatment of Haw Par Army platoon commanders, captains, and battalion commanders..."

"After volunteering to join the Haw Par Army, ordinary soldiers have a full meal every day and a meal of meat every two days... After being promoted to the rank of chief and deputy platoon commander, he changed to one meal of meat a day... Officers who are promoted to platoon commander and above, eat alone every day, and have meat at every meal...... Other relevant benefits will be announced later......"

"In the Haw Par Army, all officers and soldiers are not limited to their backgrounds, and they only need to be promoted by virtue of their military merits..."

"Ordinary young adults who do not join the Haw Par Army and do not have any skills, as a reward for the Haw Par Army to rescue everyone from the hands of the Tartars, they must serve the Haw Par Army for free for five years, and after five years, they can choose to stay. During his service in the Haw Par Army, he ate one dry meal a day, two porridge meals, and one meat meal a week......."

The guard system was the most important military system in the Ming Dynasty, which was founded by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

As the Ming Dynasty went into decline step by step, it became more and more difficult for the lowest military households under the Weisu system. As a soldier defending the country, he even developed to the point where he couldn't even eat enough. And this led more and more Ming Dynasty military households to flee from the guards and become homeless people everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, military households were undoubtedly the most bitter type of people who could not even eat enough.

Let's talk about the border army, which is slightly better than the treatment of military households, although there is a fixed military salary every month. However, because of the deductions of officers at all levels, coupled with the gradual increase in the price level of the Ming Dynasty, the few military salaries were simply not enough for them to support their families.

More importantly, although these border soldiers can receive some military pay every month, their usual living treatment is still hungry and full.

Don't say that one meal of meat for two days is not enough to sustain two full meals a day.

Therefore, when they first heard this order, the first thing that came out of the more than 2,000 young men was that they didn't believe it.

They didn't believe that such a righteous army, which was not recognized by the imperial court, would give soldiers such good treatment, and they didn't believe that the Haw Par Army would attach so much importance to soldiers and craftsmen.

However, when more than 100 veterans told their personal experiences to everyone, more than 2,000 young adults finally believed.

Wang Junwu, a very ordinary young man among the more than 2,000 young adults. However, it is such a dark-skinned young man who has a very complex identity.

First of all, Wang Junwu has the identity of the hereditary small banner of the Ming Dynasty.

If it is placed at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although such an identity cannot guarantee Wang Junwu a rich life. However, a worry-free life can still be guaranteed.

However, it is now the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and even if he has the status of a small flag, he can't even eat enough in the guard.

Because of his family's marksmanship, in order to live better, he reduced the burden on his parents. As a last resort, Wang Junwu could only sign up for the border army and become the lowest pikeman in the army.

Although he is a pikeman, Wang Junsheng is confident, and with his ancestral superb marksmanship, he will have a bright future in the border army.

However, as time passed, facing the officer layer in the army, which had been completely corrupted by money. Because Wang Junwu had no money to bribe his superiors, not only was he not valued by his superiors, but because of his military salary, he was deducted from his military salary, and he began to have enough to eat.

Gradually, Wang Junwu began to despair with the border army.

Right here, the Tartar buckle off.

Wang Junwu, who was brave and martial, subconsciously felt that he finally had a place to use, and his opportunity to soar into the sky had come.

However, the course of events that followed was far beyond his expectations.

In the army of the Ming Dynasty, the best way to calculate military merit was a Tartar head.

However, when Wang Junwu risked his life to cut off several Tartar heads on the battlefield, these heads not only did not bring him military merits, but instead brought him the scourge of killing.

In order to take the Tartar heads that Wang Junwu brought back from the battlefield as his own, Shangguan directly pressed some crimes that could be summoned to Wang Junwu at any time to kill Wang Junwu, and asked Wang Junwu to hand over all the Tartar heads to resist his fate.

In order to survive and continue to live in the army, Wang Junwu had to give up his military exploits and continue to serve as the lowliest commander in the border army.

The identity of the soldier was preserved, but the next thing that happened directly made Wang Junwu completely lose confidence in the border army.

A month ago, the Tartars entered the military household where their parents were, and the border army where they belonged was ordered to come to the rescue.

However, because the officers were greedy for life and afraid of death, Wang Junwu had to watch his family die at the hands of the Tartars. Not only that, the officer who was greedy for life and afraid of death brutally cut off his parents' heads in order to obtain military merits......

Wang Junwu, who couldn't bear it anymore, burst out on the spot and wanted to kill these Shangguan.

However, the other party is outnumbered, and he is indeed alone. Not only did he not succeed, but he was caught by the other party and was about to face the felony of rebellion.

When life and death were on the line, the Tartars, who had just finished the slaughter, saved themselves invisibly and unexpectedly returned to the battlefield.

How could a border army with low morale and no fighting spirit at all be an opponent of the Tatar cavalry.

Hundreds of Tartar cavalry used only one charge to crush the border army, which had thousands of troops. As for Wang Junwu himself, because his hands and feet were tied, he could only be a prisoner of the Tartars with a face full of unwillingness.

After this series of life and death, Wang Junwu completely lost confidence in the border army. Hell-bent on revenge, he was ready to find an opportunity to kill a few of the Tartar guards, and then die with them.

At this moment, the Haw Par Army appeared and gave Wang Junwu a chance to live again.

Not only rescued himself from the hands of the Tartars, but also gave himself food. More importantly, the Haw Par Army also gave itself a chance to kill the Tartars as soldiers.

Although the tiger and leopard army in front of them was not recognized by the imperial court, it was true that they killed the Tartars. The fact that all the more than 100 Tartars defending Santun Fort were killed by them is the best proof of this.

What's more, joining the Haw Par Army is full of food, and there is meat to eat.

You must know that during the half year that I joined the border army, in addition to being able to eat one dry meal a day, I didn't even see minced meat, let alone one pork for two days.

Not only that, but what impressed Wang Junwu the most was the officer promotion system of the Haw Par Army.

Tong Guò knew about the more than 100 veterans of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and Wang Junwu finally believed that there was such an army in this world, and he really relied on his military merits to be promoted, without any fraud.

Under such circumstances, Wang Junwu is confident that with his own ability, it will not take long for him to be promoted to a captain, or even a platoon commander, by virtue of his military merits, and get better treatment in the Haw Par Army.

You know, in the Haw Par Army, as long as you are promoted to a platoon commander, you can have a well-built armor. Not only that, but every day you can eat with Wei Zheng, the highest commander of the Haw Par Army, in a separate room.

Even in the official army and border army, only officers with more than 100 households can have iron armor. In the past, Wang Junwu couldn't even think of it. However, the Haw Par Army in front of them can easily allow themselves to realize this idea with their military merits and strength.

As a result, Wang Junwu, who has become a loner, immediately made a decision in his heart that no one could change, join the Haw Par Army, take revenge, become an officer, and eat meat......

What everyone didn't expect was that Wang Junwu's decision today, a few years later, directly made the Tiger and Par Army grow into an iron-blooded general who was hated by both the Tartars and the official army. Of course, that's all for later.
