Chapter 13 Why so skilled?
The turmoil on the school grounds had not yet arisen, but it subsided after Director Wang gave in.
Mi Huang personally found Shao Xun. After looking at him carefully, he smiled and said: "He looks a bit heroic. In this case, my fight with Wang Shenjun is not in vain."
"The great love of the supervisor will be remembered in Xun's heart." Shao Xun didn't know what Mi Huang and Director Wang had just said, but he was not stupid and he quickly picked up on it.
"It's not me, it's the princess's great kindness." Mi Huang said seriously.
"The princess has the kindness to know and meet her, and the supervisor has the virtue of simplicity. All servants will remember it in their hearts." Shao Xun replied.
Mi Huang nodded with satisfaction and said: "I won't say any more. I'll leave these two groups of recruits to you, and organize them well so as not to disappoint the princess. As for those young men and old men, do you have any ideas?"
"Perhaps they can be placed in the village and do what they can." Shao Xun replied: "Soldiers are more valuable than elites. When going into battle, if these children and old men disperse in a hurry, it will affect morale."
"What you said makes sense." Mi Huang pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will entrust them all to your leadership. You can make arrangements."
"No." Shao Xun responded.
His impression of Mi Huang changed.
Before this, I thought he was a typical ungrounded scholar-bureaucrat. After getting to know him this time, I found that he still has a lot of shining qualities.
The first is to be honest.
Promoting himself to the position of superintendent was a favor, but he did not take it upon himself, but told the truth.
Secondly, people are smarter.
After knowing that I was teaching children to read and write, I did not separate him from these people, but continued to let him take charge, fully considering his personal wishes.
Some scholar-bureaucrats just like to show off, but they are not stupid.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet the newly recruited soldiers." Mi Huang waved his hand and said: "These are truly strong and strong soldiers, who are familiar with all kinds of weapons. Some of them are even among the soldiers who were scattered.
Sergeants. There are also some desperadoes..."
Having said this, Mi Huang glanced at Shao Xun.
Well, he is indeed tall, but after all, he is only sixteen years old and his body has not fully grown yet. I don’t know if he can hold down these soldiers.
Shao Xun followed behind silently.
The armor leaves of the iron armor shone brightly in the sun, and under the left bow and right sword, the dragon walked like a tiger, high-spirited, and his eyes were full of confidence, as if he didn't take anyone seriously.
The two of them quickly arrived in front of the formation.
A full hundred people stood with spears in neat order and solemnity.
Shao Xun looked at it with professional eyes.
The sources of these one hundred people are quite diverse.
Some people look burly, tall, and powerful, but they have honest faces and shrinking eyes. They have never been on the battlefield or "bullied" others. They are just honest children.
There was a widely circulated rumor in later generations: honest and honest soldiers are the best soldiers. However, in the Western Jin Dynasty, after practicing, people had already rejected this kind of soldiers, thinking that they were "stupid", "weak" and unable to fight.
.
Shao Xun didn't think these people were very good. They were qualified soldiers at best, and they needed to be reformed. They were far from outstanding soldiers.
There are also some soldiers with solemn and indifferent expressions on their faces, as if they have exhausted their last traces of enthusiasm and all their ideals in the ups and downs of troubled times, and are now nothing more than zombie-like killing machines, living and dying.
They were generally Luoyang soldiers. They should have been defeated during the Sima Lun Rebellion. They had no intention of returning to the army, so they just wandered around and drifted with the tide in the troubled times.
The third group of people showed their vicious looks, most of them were bandits, and they may have killed more than one person.
In today's world, life is not easy for bandits. How can they be willing to serve as soldiers and be disciplined if they can still rob businesses, kill people, and just eat and drink?
"These soldiers..." Mi Huang seemed to know the details of these people. After saying half of it, he felt that he didn't know where to start, so he could only say: "Take care of the area and don't cause trouble."
"Nuo." Shao Xun's eyes swept over their faces.
Some people lowered their heads subconsciously, some looked at him calmly, and some seemed to be resentful of his age and looked at him with slightly provocative eyes.
Haha! Interesting, I just like to deal with you thorns.
"Uncle Shao Du, you can say a few words." Mi Huang coughed and said.
"No." Shao Xun saluted.
I saw him walking straight into the queue, looking at an honest-looking man, and asked: "What is your name?"
"Zhang Gu."
"Why do you want to be a soldier?"
Zhang Gu hesitated for a moment and said: "The King of Qi demolished my house and I have nowhere to go. When my parents were still alive, they arranged a marriage for me. I wanted to be my son-in-law and make a living, but Butcher Zheng no longer liked me."
, broke off the engagement."
There was a burst of laughter from the army. Zhang Gu's face turned red and he was at a loss.
"You are quite eloquent, but Butcher Zheng has lost your sight." Shao Xun also smiled and said, "What are you capable of?"
"I have killed pigs, sheep, and cattle. My hands and feet are quick and I can kill them all with one knife." Zhang Gu puffed up his chest and said, "The skinning is quick and clean."
"Have you ever killed anyone?" Shao Xun asked.
"No." Zhang Gu's face turned pale.
"There is no difference between killing people and killing pigs." Shao Xun said: "If you cut a knife, it will hurt and you will die. The difference is that when the pigs are killed, they scream and pee. When a person is killed, he will resist and beg for mercy.
.You are now a soldier, and you need to practice your killing skills. Kill until others are afraid, kill until others walk around you, and then when you are in front of Butcher Zheng, he will no longer dare to look down on you. Do you understand?"
Zhang Gu was obedient.
"Look at your potential!" Shao Xun sneered and said: "Follow me from now on, and I will teach you how to kill people. When you become famous in the future, let Butcher Zheng take a good look at how blind he was back then."
"No." Zhang Gu responded.
Shao Xun punched him and said: "Don't lower your head and talk. My soldiers are all warriors. How can the warriors be so cowed? Hold your head high and chest out, don't be afraid. Killing a pig is killing, killing is killing. If you continue to do this
If you behave like this, you will be looked down upon for the rest of your life, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Zhang Gu responded loudly.
Shao Xun nodded, walked to the other sergeant, grabbed his arm and spread his palms.
"How many years have you been using a bow?" he asked.
"It's been seven or eight years."
"Where did you serve as a soldier before?"
"Yu Ji Camp."
"Which general is under your command?"
"General Right Guard."
The Luoyang Chinese Army stationed in the city is called the "Seven Suwei Army" and is led by seven people: General Zuowei, General Right, General Front, General Rear, General Left, General Right, and General Xiaoqi.
Specific to the "General Right Guard" just mentioned, the troops under his jurisdiction can be roughly divided into three parts:
The advance battalion (heavy armored infantry, the chief officer is General Huben), led by the three Sima troops, is composed of the base camp (the archer unit, the chief officer is General Jishe), and the Qiannu battalion (the crossbow unit, the chief officer is General Jinu);
The cavalry troops commanded by the five governors are respectively the Governor of Hitting Hu Ben, the Governor of Hu Ben, the Governor of Yulin, the Governor of Shangqi, and the Governor of Yili;
The troops commanded by the general in the palace were large in number, mostly infantry, with only a small number of crossbows and cavalry.
This imperial soldier who has been playing bow for seven or eight years was born in the Youji camp under General Youwei, and his level should be pretty good - if this archery unit named after the famous Yang Youji has not fallen into disgrace.
"Why do you want to be a soldier?" Shao Xun asked.
The sergeant was a little confused, as if he had not thought about this question carefully. After a moment, he replied: "My family is ruined and I have nowhere to go."
"Why should a man not have a wife?" Shao Xun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Look at how young you are. You fought bravely on the battlefield and killed the enemy. After you have made great achievements, it is common for you to start a family and start a career. You must not give up on yourself.
"
He knew that if he didn't gather these Forbidden Soldiers who were scattered everywhere, they would be gathered together by others.
If Liu Yao, Liu Cong, and Shi Le came to Luoyang and waved the flag, it would be normal for these old soldiers to seek refuge there.
Who should I serve as a soldier? Do I really care about national justice? The Han soldiers in Shi Le's tent are the main force, okay? What is the population of the Jie tribe? How many soldiers can it send?
"I have remembered what the governor said." The sergeant sighed and replied.
Shao Xun came to another person, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "You are a bandit, you have killed many people, right?"
This was a big man with a scar on his face. When he heard this, he replied firmly: "There are always more than a dozen, and they have also tasted what it's like to be an official's wife."
The Jiangyang Thief was different. Seeing that Shao Xun was still young, he felt a little unconvinced. His words were out of his mind, and he never thought about whether he would be caught and tortured by the Yamen to explain the facts of the crime.
Shao Xun's face fell, and he directly grabbed the man's arm.
Before the Scar Bandit could resist, he was unconsciously pushed to the ground and pushed to his knees.
Shao Xun grabbed his bun, pulled out a small plug from his boot, put it against the man's throat, and said: "Supervisor, please clean up the military discipline and train soldiers. You disobey the superior and deserve to be whipped -
Are you convinced?"
"I'm done with it, I'm done with it." Scar's anus tightened, and he stared at the gleaming dagger from the corner of his eye and said loudly.
"I will be whipped ten times." Shao Xun let him go and said.
The Scar Bandit walked out of the queue in despair. Huang Biao came forward with two teenagers and dragged him aside.
The teenagers had probably never seen such a vicious person, and their hands were shaking a little, but the scarred man did not resist. He was pulled aside obediently, his clothes and pants were taken off, and they started beating him.
Shao Xun took out the bow tip from his waist, strung the bow in a daze, then turned around and shot without looking.
The arrow shot through the air and hit the straw man dozens of steps away.
"If you obey the order, you will be rich and powerful in the future. If you dare to disobey the order, don't blame me for being ruthless." Shao Xun put away his bow and said.
All the sergeants stared blankly at first, but after hearing Shao Xun's voice, they immediately shouted in unison: "No!"
After being spanked, the scarred man lay on the ground, looked at the slightly trembling straw man in the distance, and swallowed subconsciously.
"If you have such ability, how can I, Chen Yougen, protect you?" He stood up and yelled at him with his bare buttocks bare.
"If you have a root, can you have a seed?" Shao Xun glanced at Chen Yougen's crotch and asked.
"Du Boxen is looking down on people." Chen Yougen shouted: "If you don't have the guts to kill the enemy, I will cut off the eggs directly."
Everyone laughed.
Mi Huang couldn't help but smile.
A bad man must be punished by a bad man. The new official, Shao Dubo, seems to have some ability and is expected to lead this army well.
Just - why is he so skilled?
How can a sixteen-year-old boy be like an old martial artist who rolled out of a pile of dead people? I don't understand.
