Chapter 85 Kou Nubing (1)
Chen Hai insisted on this, and Chen Su would not stop him. If something happened, it would be beneficial to his "young master" Chen Zhang; Chen Qing was always practicing and never interfered in the affairs of the Tinghou Mansion.
Ge Tong, Zhou Jingyuan and others were somewhat worried and hesitant, and were still afraid of missing out. Even if one of the selected people surrendered to the enemy or informed the enemy, it would have a great impact on Chen Hai.
They didn't expect that Chen Hai used to dare to use poor children, and at this time he boldly insisted on using prisoners' slaves.
Chen Hai made up his mind, but it was very convenient to choose.
More than 2,000 servants were mainly concentrated in mines, smelting grounds, casting grounds, roads, and construction sites in the village city. When these servants heard that they could get rid of hard labor and even make a name for themselves in the future, countless people wanted to seize this rare opportunity in front of them.
Even though they all knew that it would be dangerous to join Chen Hai into the army, it would be countless times better than being a hard laborer than never being able to turn over. Even if they wanted to escape, it would be much easier than being detained in a heavily regulated mine or casting yard.
This batch of hard labor was originally bought by the Tinghou Mansion to build the Pharmacist Garden Village City. They were all selected with great pride. According to Chen Hai's criteria for selecting good shooting, good cavalry and bravery, Ge Tong and Zhou Jingyuan selected more than 80 qualified candidates.
Among these people, including more than a dozen ranger swordsmen, they have a certain foundation in cultivation, are born with sharp shooting, or are born with courage, but they are not good at it.
The next day, Ge Tong and Zhou Jingyuan took these people to Dongyuan to choose from for Chen Hai.
When they walked into the garden of Dongyuan, many people's eyes were on Rong'er, and Juan'er's two beautiful maids were circling, showing a greed look; some people were rebellious, but they did not hide their contempt and disdain in their eyes when facing the young master Chen Hai. Perhaps they believed that Chen Hai had such a status because of his good background, but in the eyes of these thieves, they were no different from little kids. Some people were cunning and looked at everything in Dongyuan quietly, but they all had a common idea. Whether it was perfunctory or sincere, they were eager to get rid of the current hard labor situation.
Seeing these people wearing tattered clothes, mostly pale faces, thin bones, but scars, and scars, mostly with traces of heavy shackles on their hands and legs. No matter how deep they are, they are somewhat rebellious and fierce, Chen Hai also had a headache, knowing that it was not as easy as he imagined to truly subdue these people.
Looking at Chen Su's expression, probably with the mentality of watching the fire from the other side of the river, Chen Hai said to him:
"Mr. Chen, I want all these people, can I?"
As the pavilion chief, Chen Su is the chief supervisor of more than 2,000 hard labor in the Pharmacist Garden. However, Chen Hai now has to select personnel from hard labor, so he can only help run forward and backward.
Of course, Chen Su hoped that these people could create a big mess for Chen Hai, and replied with a smile:
"The young marquis is in a hurry to hire people now, how dare Chen Su stop him?"
Hard labor is really worthless. You can get one for twenty kilograms of fine copper. This time, more than eighty thorns will be removed, and the remaining hard labor will be much easier to manage.
"Just agree!"
Chen Hai nodded and picked up the list carefully sorted by Zhou Jingyuan. The list demoted the ancestral homes of these people to slaves and how they performed after being escorted to the Medicine God Park. They were all briefly listed in the list, and it was obvious that these people were not good at it.
Nearly half were the small leaders of the rebels in the first two waves of uprisings.
Although more than a dozen ranger swordsmen did not participate in the rebellion, they were killed in the purge after the Yulong Mountain defeat, arrested and abolished their cultivation and demoted them to slaves, it is not difficult to imagine that these people had a deep resentment towards the Mansion of the Great Protector General and the Hexi clan clans.
Most of the remaining people were thieves or bandits who committed major cases, and three of them were actually scattered cultivators who had practiced to the late stage of Tongxuan Realm but committed serious crimes.
These are not ordinary servants. They are obviously Kou Nu. These people may be called Kou Nu soldiers more accurately!
This is also the reason why Ge Tong and Zhou Jingyuan do not advocate Chen Hai using these people.
These people are too complicated, and they have no loyalty and trust in their hearts, which is difficult to tame. If you are not careful, you may cause a big disaster to Chen Hai, or even betray, assassinate your colleagues or surrender to the enemy on the battlefield. It is not unimaginable.
However, Chen Hai had no choice. He left his seat and walked to these most unruly people. His eyes slowly swept across their faces, and his hands formed a seal, and a ball of flames emerged out of thin air. He burned the list in his hand to ashes, and said slowly:
"This list records the sins you have committed in the past or the punishments you have suffered. Now this list has been turned into ashes, and I no longer care about your previous right and wrong. From now on, you are all appointed under my command. You will be rewarded for merits, punished for your faults, and punished for death. I will create another list for you to record your names, expertise, the merits you have made since today and the faults you have committed. In addition, this time, in addition to exempting your hard labor and hiring soldiers from the Huweiying camp, those who have families who want to move to the Medicine Buddha Garden will be given a higher salary; those who have families who are implicated and demoted to slaves will also be exempted from their status as hard labor, or the Medicine Buddha Garden will be funded to buy them to settle down..."
Many people had excitement, hesitation, cunning, unpredictable cunning and calculating, and their responses were uneven and lazy, but Chen Hai didn't care about these things, and he didn't expect that one word today would convince these people. From then on, they were loyal and determined to follow him to fight the battlefield.
Chen Hai, Ge Tong, Zhou Jingyuan and the others said:
"This time I will pick 60 people away, and the others will be temporarily organized into the Huwei camp here to train first. You can prepare sixty good horses, sixty pairs of armor, swords, war halberds and zhemu bows for me..."
Chen Hai originally planned to transfer thirty people to take them away, and as he was assigned to the patrol camp, the rest of the people were left for Ge Tong to train, but after seeing these rebellious people with his own eyes, he changed his mind.
From the fierceness and cunning hidden in these people's eyes, Chen Hai was afraid that Ge Tong would not be able to suppress it, so he would give Chen Su an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he decided to bring all the unruly and ulterior motives with his side. The remaining more than 20 people should be able to digest it for Ge Tong.
Chen Hai used to be unable to afford sixty sets of excellent armor, swords, bows and mounts, but now he can all be managed from the Pharmacist Garden, so Chen Hai doesn't need to get a headache anymore.
Chen Su really wanted to remind Chen Hai that Ge Tong was only responsible for commanding the generals and soldiers of the Huwei Battalion, and he was still responsible for the expenses of the soldiers, armor, bows, arrows, and money and salary. Even if he was in charge of the horse farm where hundreds of good horses were tamed in the back mountain, he was responsible for it himself. But at this time he found that it was meaningless to speak. He could still hold on to these batches of soldiers, and not pull the good horses to Chen Hai?
This group of soldiers, good cavalry and hard bows were also drawn from the General Protector's Mansion to the Huwei Camp of the Marquis of Zhaoyangting.
************************************
Apart from Zhao Shan, Chen Hai did not draw more personnel from the Pharmacist Garden, and Qian Wenyi was also left to Ge Tong as an assistant.
Chen Hai transferred Zhao Shan to his side, and Zhao Shan was the first to follow him into the army, familiar with military affairs, practice and other matters, and was a good assistant.
Chen Hai had previously taught Zhao Shan the basic footwork, basic footwork, basic boxing, palm technique, and halberd technique. Now Zhao Shan is working on his behalf to teach these elite soldiers who are mainly composed of Jiangyang thieves, rebel leaders or rangers. Chen Hai can also save a lot of trouble. He, Zhou Jun and Wu Meng can also focus on cultivation.
Chen Hai had already reported to the aisle in front of Li Xianghai's tent. He and Zhou Jun were all assigned to the patrol camp and accepted the control of the general sentry officer Li Hu.
However, the camp of the Youshou Camp was set up in Nantianmen Village, only more than forty miles away from the Medicine Temple Garden. Chen Hai thought of compiling more than 60 elite soldiers to at least understand the military orders, so he rushed to Nantianmen Village City and met with other elite soldiers of the Youshou Camp.
After Chen Hai opened up the Secret Palace of Linghai, he could store true energy and magic power in his body. The practice of cultivating the main qi can be temporarily suspended. In order to quickly improve his strength, he also seized this period of time to practice the art of controlling matters.
The art of controlling objects is the basis of sword control and is a magic derived from the second level of the alchemy technique. By mastering the art of controlling objects, you can control the sword. However, at this time, it is absolutely impossible to say that it is a "stealing" sword, and the sword controlled is absolutely not powerful.
Not to mention the martial arts world, even a young man with strong strength can knock the spiritual sword that flew softly to his eyes to the ground with one blow.
If you want to practice sword control, you must first practice matter-control to the state of being light and doing whatever you want.
Only then can we talk about the sword control, and the sword we control can also talk about speed and strength, and can we have the power to truly threaten the strong enemy. If we take advantage of people's surprise, we will talk about the enemy's head as fast as a meteor, and we will talk about this realm.
In addition to killing the distant enemy with the sword, the method used by the spiritual sword is to use true energy to destroy the sword light to kill the enemy.
The sword light destroyed by the true energy can be said to be invincible. It is difficult for ordinary iron armor to withstand several choppings of sharp sword lights. At the same time, the spiritual sword is not light and sharp, and the attack range and power of the spiritual sword will be greatly increased due to the sword light.
If the above two can be combined, they will be more powerful.
This is also the key point for the spiritual realm to surpass the lower-level disciples.
The spiritual sword sacrificed by Chen Hai was the one that Chai Rong lost to in the Sutra Pavilion, and the word "Biying" was engraved with the sword body.
As a yellow-level mid-grade spiritual sword, Chen Hai is more than enough to use it for sacrifice at this time.
Although Chen Hai is still a long way from practicing the corpse control technique to the level of being free, he can destroy the true energy and inject the blue shadow. The sword blade can destroy the three-inch-long blue sword light. When it encounters iron weapons and armor, it can almost be said to be invincible and its power is amazing.
Chen Hai guessed that this blue sword light should also be the origin of the sword name "Biying".
