Chapter 282 As long as you can ascend to heaven, it doesn’t matter if you are a chicken or a dog!
The other soldiers did not care about the possibility of waking up the sleeping Paoze, and they all shouted:
“I am willing to die for the commander!”
At the triumphal banquet, Ying Zheng announced that he would expand the number of Ying Chengxuan's troops from one hundred to five hundred.
Since then, Peng Cheng and many other soldiers have been thinking about quotas for family soldiers.
The position of a domestic soldier seems to be very ordinary. He must always follow the family master. The domestic soldier can go wherever the family master goes. There is no freedom.
When the family leader is in danger, the family soldiers need to use their bodies to help the family leader block the sword without hesitation. Ying Chengyu went on two expeditions, and more than a hundred of his family soldiers died in battle. The grassroots family soldiers have been replaced twice. The risk factor is extremely high.
Furthermore, family soldiers can only be promoted to nobility. Whether they can be promoted depends on the wishes of the family leader. Even if they are promoted, they can only be promoted to a maximum of 500 masters, and their career development is very narrow.
But at the same time, the family soldiers are also the most trusted group of people by the family owner!
Most family heads will be responsible for all life issues such as food, clothing, housing, land, medical treatment, education, etc. for the soldier himself and his three immediate generations, and will arrange work for the family members of the soldier.
In addition, there will be rewards every year and festival, and every time you go on an expedition, you will be rewarded heavily. If his heirs are promising, most of the family heads will be willing to help. It is really a hard work for him, and the whole family will be happy.
When the soldiers grow old, the family head will try his best to arrange jobs for the soldiers, support them throughout their lives, and make important use of their children.
No one who is truly talented, has a good family background, and has a good background will choose to be a domestic soldier.
But for people like Peng Cheng, who come from a poor family and have a humble background, becoming a domestic soldier is their best choice.
As the saying goes, if a person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog can ascend to heaven. As long as he can ascend to heaven, it doesn’t matter if he is a chicken or a dog!
Facing the eager eyes, Ying Chengyu smiled: "I am not that easy to be a soldier."
The shout just now woke up many sleeping soldiers.
As soon as they left the camp, they heard what Ying Chengyu said, and they immediately handed over their hands with Peng Cheng and others: "I am willing to do my best for the commander!"
Ying Chengyu said. Waving his hand: "Guardian, please tell me the conditions for selecting your own soldiers."
The fool and other soldiers dispersed everywhere without any instructions, took up their positions and began to act as human microphones.
The hexagram master took a step forward and spoke in a deep voice: "The goal of recruiting soldiers for the Chang'an Lord's Mansion."
"The first is to be loyal, brave and courageous, and willing to die for the master of the family!"
The second is , the strength can drive a two-stone bow, and it can shoot a hundred-step ring with a one-stone bow."
Whether it is the strength measurement standard of a two-stone bow, or the accuracy test of a one-stone bow, it exceeds the Qin Dynasty! Military standard assessment requirements.
But no one showed any intention of retreating.
Since he is a domestic soldier, he is naturally better than a soldier.
Those who dare to compete for the position of family soldiers are mediocre!
The hexagram master continued: "Third, you can ride on a gurgling horse and run for three hundred miles without stopping."
"You can ride on a gurgling horse and hold a seven-fighting bow to shoot a thirty-step ring. Hold the beryllium broken arm stake!"
Hearing this, the faces of all the elite soldiers changed.
During the Warring States Period, there were no stirrups, horseshoes and high-bridge saddles. There was only a cushion tied to the horse's back. The purpose of this cushion was not to assist in riding, but just to prevent the horse's backbone from being too heavy on the buttocks.
However, horse breeds such as the Haomen horse, which can greatly slow down the bumps by being good at 'countermeasures', did not begin to be introduced to China in large numbers until the Han Dynasty. Even though the Qin war horses were superior to those of other countries, they were still violent when galloping. Bumps, continuous setbacks.
The rider must firmly hold the smooth and furry belly of the horse with his legs in order to sit on the horse's back without bouncing around on the horse's back. This kind of riding is called gurgling riding!
Ordinary soldiers will have weak legs if they keep riding for a quarter of an hour, but a trained knight can keep riding for more than an hour.
How long does it take to travel three hundred miles?
Even for one person and two horses, it would take at least six hours!
This is just a requirement for riding time.
With no stirrups and nowhere to borrow strength, holding a copper beryllium to pierce a wooden stake as thick as an arm, firing a seven-bow bow to hit a target thirty steps away in a bumpy situation, for ordinary people For soldiers, this is simply a fantasy!
However, what all the soldiers did not expect was that the fortune teller had not finished speaking.
“Fourth, be able to read, write and understand nine hundred seal characters, be familiar with the "Qin Code", and be able to recite, dictate and understand the "Junjue Code".
"Fifth, if you are good at counting, you can choose a day to march and calculate the remaining baggage according to the baggage used today, or calculate the remaining baggage used today based on the remaining baggage."
After hearing the last two requests, the soldiers They were all dumbfounded and stared blankly at the fortune teller.
Finally, one of the soldiers couldn't help but ask: "Captain Guafu, are you really selecting soldiers?"
Guafu chuckled softly: "Do you think the requirements are too high?"
The Gua Fu took off the long bow from his back and said casually: "I will shoot the flying bird a hundred and fifty steps away."
After saying this, the hexagram master casually twisted the arrow, glanced at it briefly, then drew the bow and shot.
The soldiers quickly turned their heads and saw what seemed to be a black shadow falling more than a hundred steps behind them.
“The leader of Gua Tun is a great shooter!”
As he exclaimed, a hundred generals held up a sparrow that had been pierced by an arrow in the chest, and walked quickly towards the Gua Fu.
The generals were in an uproar.
"It's a dark night now! Can you shoot a bird a hundred and fifty steps away in the dark?!"
"Although it's a dark night, there is still some firelight, and you can still see clearly with the firelight."< br>
“Even if you can see clearly, you can only detect it in detail. Furthermore, if you are asked to shoot birds in the daytime, can you do it?”
“Have you never heard of it? After the death of Wei, the King of Wei wanted to commit suicide, but the leader of Gua Village shot an arrow through his right hand and saved the King of Wei!” .
The requirements they say are indeed high, but they can do it!
The hexagram master still arched his back and his voice was still calm: "The master of the family has treated us so kindly, and we should be willing to die in return."
"In order to expand the recruitment of family soldiers, the standards I mentioned It was just the standard three years ago."
"Three years ago, the head of the family ordered all the soldiers to follow the generals and learn military strategies from them."
"Our army has established itself. The urgent march into Xicheng and the battle of Xicheng were all completed by our soldiers and the soldiers of each department. "Since then, all the soldiers have been reading military books together every night and learning military strategies."< br>
All the soldiers were completely silent.
We are just here to be soldiers, and you want us to learn military strategy?
We are just soldiers, not generals!
The hexagram master's voice became a little louder: "Anyone who can protect the master of the family should be a warrior who is one in a hundred, and should also share the worries and solve the problems of the master of the family."
"Even now, the head of my family can have five hundred soldiers, and it is not accessible to ordinary people!"
"Now, who thinks that they can stand up for the head of the family?"
The vast majority of soldiers remained silent.
It was Peng Cheng who took the lead again and looked at Ying Chengyu sincerely: "Commander, I am humble and brave, and can shoot a two-stone bow. I am willing to die for the master of the family!"
" Humble is a Wei man who grew up on the banks of a large swamp. He is especially good at rowing and rowing boats. He also knows how to drive a warship and can even swim in the waves. "
"Now that the head of the family has acquired Daliang City as a fiefdom, the water system is complicated, and Humble's water nature may come in handy."
"Although Humble cannot ride a horse, he can learn!"
"Although Humble cannot Literary, but able to learn!"
"I just ask the boss to give me a chance!"
Gua Fu shook his head: "A scholar may not be able to learn."
Peng Cheng said firmly: "I humbly wish not to serve as a soldier for the time being. I will be responsible for all expenses including meals, accommodation, etc. and send them to me."
"I just want a chance to learn from the coach. "
"If I can learn it, I will shamelessly ask the coach to teach me."
"If I can't learn it, I will go home."
For the sake of it! Being able to get this opportunity, Peng Cheng started the involution without any teacher!
After Peng Cheng, dozens of soldiers also bravely came out: "Commander, I am humble enough to take care of my own food and learn from the commander!"
Ying Chengyu looked at Peng Cheng and asked warmly. : "Life is very hard?"
The tip of Peng Cheng's nose was sore, but he smiled: "The coach is aware of it."
"If Da Qin had not destroyed Wei, Du Weifeng (Western Front) Yu Chang I recruited soldiers in the city and gave me a morsel of food. Now I am afraid that I have joined the swamp to become a water bandit to support my family.” Have a family?”
Peng Cheng's voice was even more sad: "Only my mother is present at home."
Ying Chengyu was slightly surprised: "Doctor Peng has never married?"
Look at Peng Cheng's He is seventeen or eighteen years old.
Logically speaking, a man of this age should not only get married, but also have children who are three or four years old!
Peng Cheng said bitterly: "My family is so poor, how dare I delay my beloved!"
Ying Chengyu nodded slightly: "Being able to climb Xiangcheng first shows how brave Dr. Peng is."
"Being the first to speak out several times shows how brave Dr. Peng is."
"Doctor Peng can be First enter my house and study with other soldiers, and after you have achieved success, you will become a soldier of this general."
"As for being proud of your meals, don't mention it again."
"If you can trust me, then move your family to Daliang City or Chang'an Township."
"Within my residence, I can protect the land under your name without paying taxes."
Peng Cheng felt a big stone fall to the ground, and he was so moved that he handed over his hands: "Thank you, master!"
"I will write a letter home, asking my mother to take her family property to Chang'an Township."
"I have an unkind request!"
Peng Cheng said sincerely: "With the generous gift from the coach, you will be able to live a humble life very well."
"I shamelessly ask the coach to choose a marriage for me!"
Peng Cheng understood the meaning of Ying Chengyu's words.
Asking Peng Cheng to move his family to Daliang City or Chang'an Township is not only a reward to Peng Cheng, but also a form of control over Peng Cheng!
Family soldiers are too important to the head of the family. Only when Peng Cheng's parents and family members are in Ying Cheng's hands, can Ying Cheng have the most basic trust in Peng Cheng.
In this case, Peng Cheng simply handed over one more clue and handed over the choice of his first wife to Ying Chengyu!
However, Ying Chengyu laughed and scolded: "I haven't found a lover myself yet, so how can I care to find a lover for you?"
"Want to get married? Find one yourself!"
Too much is not enough.
Since Peng Cheng can take the initiative to bring up this matter, Ying Chengyu knows Peng Cheng’s determination.
Ying Chengyu believed that Peng Cheng would find a woman from Chang'an Township as his husband, further strengthening the bond between him and Chang'an Township!
Peng Cheng smiled and said: "It's so humble and rude."
Looking at Peng Cheng's pretentious smile, all the soldiers felt itchy with hatred.
Only you can get involved!
Only your head!
You actually said that you have to prepare your own food and pay tuition fees to work for Changan Jun?
Involuted dogs deserve to die! ! !
The data on the horses used in cheese are mostly taken from the "Chronicle of Horse and Donkey Breeds in China" and the "Chronicle of China's Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources (Chronicle of Horses, Donkeys and Camels)", supplemented by records of various events. The main types of war horses are Mongolian horses, Kazakh horses and Akhal Tejin horses, which are relatively close to the horse breeds commonly used in the Warring States Period.
According to the records of the "Chronicle of Horse and Donkey Breeds in China", the best record of Mongolian horses in the 59-kilometer race is 58 minutes. According to the records of the Naadam Conference in New Barhu Zuo Banner in 1949, the 100-kilometer endurance record is 58 minutes. The Mongolian horse took 3 hours and 7 minutes in the race. According to the data of the 1903 Beijing-Tianjin 120 Endurance Race, the Mongolian horse ran 120 kilometers in 6 hours and 56 minutes. According to the records of the Naadam Conference in Manchukuo in 1940, the Mongolian horse ran 165 kilometers. No event data was found that lasted 23 hours and had a longer mileage, because starting from 50 kilometers, the Mongolian horse's running speed began to decline precipitously. Running more than 150 kilometers a day would cause serious wear and tear on the Mongolian horse and may even make it worse. The war horse died suddenly.
