?Xiyang City, outside the military camp, Yang Ji led a team of soldiers to come over fiercely. Several generals at the gate were looking forward to seeing him in a smile and greeting him: "The last general welcomes Shangguan!"

"I am the new Sima Yang Ji of Bazhou, haven't asked for advice yet?" Yang Ji bowed quietly. The other party should be the general who commanded the state soldiers, but it just seemed a bit inappropriate.

I led the fully armed soldiers to approach the military camp. You came up without any warning. Where is the military law?

"The last general, Tian Yuansheng." The man bowed and introduced himself. His face was like a disc, his eyes were like a mung bean, his figure was betel, and his body was covered with bright light armor. His steps were floating and his eyes were dull. The weather was not hot and he was not wearing a slut, but he was sweating profusely.

Tian Yuansheng introduced everyone around him with a smile on his face. Yang Ji only glanced at the other party and felt no good feelings, but his face was still as calm as usual. He said to the other party: "I am here to seal the letter, please check it out by Master Tian."

After hearing this, Tian Yuansheng smiled so hard that his fat face trembled so much that his eyes were almost gone: "I have seen Sima Yang in the state office at the end of yesterday, so why should I test it? Please join the camp quickly."

Yang Ji calmly allowed several generals to warmly welcome him and his subordinates into the military camp. When he passed by the gate, he glanced at the defenders all lowered their eyebrows and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What's the difference between this military camp and no defense!

The military camp should not trespass in the important areas. Even if Shangguan comes to the gate, he must verify his identity and the winner will be allowed to enter. He does not require the other party to have the level of Zhou Yafu's management of Xiliu Camp, but the minimum procedure must be. Although the other party is so unprincipled because he wants to light a fire in his new official position and dare not neglect it, it is too that way.

Because I recognize my appearance, I am exempted from checking. What if someone disguises himself as a disguise or I am just dismissed and robbed of my seal by the governor. I am dissatisfied and sent to mobilize troops to rebel!

When he was a kid, he went to many high-ranking officials and nobles to visit the houses and wandered between the restaurants in Lefang. Therefore, his ability to remain calm was already perfect. Although he was unhappy, he would not let outsiders see it and his attitude was also kind.

When Yang Ji learned that Yuwen Wen asked him to be the Sima of the State, he was a little unhappy because he believed that the new army soldiers were the ones that could be made, and those soldiers were recruited according to Qi Shaobao's election requirements and could not compare with those soldiers like soldiers.

He didn't want to be an official, or he would climb up to the powerful and powerful family in Chang'an City early in the morning and even joined Yang Jian to find a job. So he refused Yuwen Wen's promotion at first, but later the other party's words convinced him: "A good chef can make a good dish even without good ingredients!"

"I will lead troops out to fight in the future, and the whole city and the whole family will be left to you to guard!"

When Yang Ji came to the camp, he did not have to greet him for a long time and then he had to beat the drums and beat the soldiers. This was the meaning of the topic, so Tian Yuansheng and others also agreed and ordered the drummers to beat the drums and summon the soldiers to gather together.

The drum sounded, and Yang Ji led his men to stand on the stage in front of the school grounds without moving. They watched as a group of state soldiers gathered in chaos in front of them. Compared with their training scene in the New Army barracks, these guys were like hungry people queuing up around the porridge shop.

Some soldiers couldn't find anything, some were with the wrong team, and some even had the wrong banner. These people gathered in the schoolyard on weekdays and thought that it would be even worse when they came to the battlefield. Thousands of soldiers gathered in the schoolyard and lined up in the schoolyard were crooked. They were tall, short, fat and thin, and they all stood still in their clothes and stood empty-handed. No, they tried not to move as much as possible.

Yang Ji looked at the weak state soldiers in front of him, and these uneven soldiers reminded him of the military households of the Ming Dynasty: his scattered eyes and numb expressions, no passion, no training, no morale.

He had already roughly understood that the composition of the soldiers in this state was mainly composed of soldiers. The soldiers in this day and the soldiers in the Ming Dynasty in later generations were almost every family who served as soldiers for generations unless they died.

It would be fine if it was a soldier, but in fact, these worldly soldiers/military households were similar to slaves. They had a low status and were not full or warm in daily life. Instead, they did more to do chores for the generals or had no wages.

In name, the country's soldiers are actually private property that the generals do not take seriously. The generals do not regard the soldiers as human beings and the soldiers will not fight to the death. The contributions made when winning the battle are falsely taken, and they are thrown behind to block the pursuit of the soldiers when they are defeated. No one can be motivated to do so.

‘So Jiannu can invade Shandong like a nobody!’ Yang Ji couldn’t help but lose his mind when he remembered that life. He calmed down and looked at the soldiers in front of him carefully.

The soldiers had a big age difference. Some were fifteen or sixteen years old, with figures like bean sprouts, some were hunched over in their fifties, and some were tattered and barefoot. These people looked more like farmers than soldiers.

Some people don't stand, like fleas on their bodies, constantly twisting their heads and tucking their arms, and some of them look at each other in a flash, and they all lowered their heads when they looked at them, as if they were ulterior motives.

More people are confused. Maybe it doesn’t matter who becomes an official. Anyway, everyone will be the same. When the new official takes office, he will go through the motions and say some clichés and everyone will live their own lives. The military pay is deducted and the training is not the same.

‘No wonder Young Master Qi would have to select troops into an army. What’s the use of such soldiers?’ Yang Ji sighed in his heart. These state soldiers and the fierce troops next to generals such as Tian Yuansheng were more vividly compared. Looking at these scenes, he couldn’t help but think of the history of Yuwen Wen’s saying that Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide and Wu Sangui led Qing soldiers into the pass.

'If the emperor is not there, he will die for his country. You bastards who are traitors actually surrendered to Jiannu!'

'The imperial court conscripted Liao pay for the sake of Liao war and forced the people to rebel, but the Liaodong generals used Liao pay to support their families. Wu Sangui's dog thieves actually led the wolf into the house to cause trouble to the Central Plains!' Yang Ji thought so, and he was distracted for a moment when he saw the sharp contrast between the state soldiers and the generals.

He left and stood calmly. The soldiers behind him also stood without saying a word like wooden stakes. For them, this kind of standing stake was completely meaningless in the army for more than half a year. However, the people on this stage didn't care, but the people below could not stand it.

Today is an important moment for the new Sima to order troops. When the other party entered the camp, they brought a group of killing gods, all of whom were extremely fierce and knew they were coming to find fault. The state soldiers knew that the new Sima came was not good, so although they were dissatisfied, they had to stand honestly on the school ground to see what was going on.

However, this stop took half an hour. Seeing that everyone could not hold on, the military leader Tian Yuansheng, who was embarrassed, squeezed out a smile to ask Yang Jixue to speak. He felt that as the saying goes, the new official took office as the three-way fire, wasn't this Sima just looking for trouble? If you just want to get a few unlucky people to suffer, you can be relieved.

"I am the new Sima Yang Ji of Bazhou. I heard that you are all waste, so you have to see how incompetent you are!" Yang Ji shouted loudly, in a arrogant tone.

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. The soldiers of the state thought that the new Sima was coming to check the empty salary and went through the motions, but they did not expect to bully people so much. It was inexplicable that they would whine at the beginning of the morning and scold them for being useless. Some people were indignant and some lowered their heads and remained silent. Seeing the team starting to stir up, Tian Yuansheng was about to scold him loudly but saw Yang Ji wave his hand and signaling him not to move.

"Come on!"

As Yang Ji shouted, several soldiers struggled to carry a few wooden boxes onto the stage. Just as everyone didn't know what the move was intended, Yang Ji asked someone to open the box and then overturn it, and saw a string of copper coins falling on the stage.

The state soldiers who were restless looked at the piles of copper coins and instantly calmed down. They didn't understand what this Yang Sima meant. After a while, they scolded people as waste. Now they took out the money to reward everyone?

"This is what Yuwen envoy asked me to bring to reward everyone, but I have changed my mind now." Yang Ji said after going off the inspection station. He turned around and pointed at the soldiers behind him and shouted: "My soldiers are awesome guys. They don't have the right to get money from you, what kind of waste, are you qualified to get money!"

"I'm not a waste!" Someone suddenly shouted in the team. Seeing that there was a bird that stood out, more people agreed. Yang Ji pointed at the man and shouted whether you were dissatisfied. The man also said: "I just dissatisfied!"

"Very good, you, as long as you beat anyone here, you are qualified to get money, always money!"

The soldiers in the state were in an uproar when they heard this. If they won, they would have always had money. The deal was worth it. The first bird pointed at Yang Ji for some reason and said he wanted to fight alone. Yang Ji sneered and said no.

Seeing the arrogant Yang Sima Lu, the soldiers in the Qizhou Province showed contempt, but they heard the other party say that one person was not enough to call two more people, and he fought three by himself, so that everyone could wear armor to avoid accidentally hurting.

Hearing this, a few people shouted that they would go to the end. In the end, Yang Ji asked the two of them to go on stage to compete together, but before starting, they first reported their names and waited for the record in the list to confirm that the competition began.

Then it ended soon: at the beginning, Yang Ji kicked the bird out to the ground with one foot. When he got up, two other companions were already kicked off the stage. Seeing Yang Ji so powerful, the man howled and rushed forward to hit him with brute force, but was avoided. Then he hooked his feet and fell into the mud.

One person defeated three in an instant. Seeing this, the state soldiers were silent. The three of them stood up in shame and were about to return to the team, but were stopped by Yang Ji: "You three dare to stand up, your courage is commendable. Each of them is half a day of money, so I won't be the case!"

After he finished speaking, he shouted to the state soldiers: "Who else!"

Seeing that no one in the audience dared to say anything, Yang Ji pointed behind him and said it would be okay if he couldn't beat him. The soldiers behind him could be challenged by two or one. If they win, they would be the same as the total amount of money for each person. Seeing this, the state soldiers began to whisper, and after a moment, someone began to stand up and challenge him.
