Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 113 Yoshiko
Only half a day.

At the military camp in Wangzhuang Township at the foot of Changbai Mountain, the recruiting banner has already recruited 16 young men.According to Luo Cheng's request, they were all teenagers between the ages of [-] and [-].

Among the young recruits, those who were not suitable for age were screened out first, and then the weaker ones were eliminated from the primary candidates.After two rounds, the third round eliminated the only child in the family.

In the end, after layers of screening, two hundred boys were selected.

These teenagers are basically the children of ordinary good families, and they are all children of farmers. There are no children of powerful landlords, no children of powerful clans, and no children of merchants.

Luo Cheng likes this kind of child more, and thinks it is simpler and easier to shape.

"There are still many people outside who refuse to leave."

The second brother-in-law Wang Ziming mentioned it when he came to hand in the roster.

"Send someone out to explain to everyone, thank them for coming to apply, but our township group has already recruited. If you still want to join us, then at this time next month, those who meet the three conditions for this application You can come and sign up again."

After all, the township corps is just a township regiment, and the recruited soldiers are just militiamen. These people serve in rotation. Now Luo Cheng and the county have reached a result that they will be in batches every two months, and they will serve for two months a year.Unless there is an extremely urgent wartime situation, the service period will not be exceeded.

This means that every two months, Luo Cheng's township camp has to change a group of people, and he decided to rotate from next month.Among the recruits this time, 100 people will be replaced first, so as to ensure that half of the 200 people in the township regiment in the future will have been trained for a month, so as to avoid all new recruits.

"It's getting late, let's cook something for everyone, let everyone eat before going back."

"There are hundreds of people outside." As the reporter of the township regiment, Wang Ziming is also in charge of logistics.You can get a lot of food for a meal for hundreds of people.

"We can't eat enough for one meal. In the future, our township group will gain a foothold here. It is more important to have a good relationship with everyone." Luo Cheng is still relatively well-off now.

After the Zhangqiu Rebellion was quelled, the township group was ordered to ransack their homes and arrest people. This was a fat job. Although most of the confiscations were handed over, Luo Cheng also kept [-]% of them. This was almost a matter of Zhang Yichen's acquiescence. , [-]% is a waste of fire.

If Fan Hu and the others were still there in the past, they would have handled far more than this little fire.

However, the county government confiscated a large number of criminal properties, filled the treasury, and was not stingy with the township regiment who had made great contributions, and pulled out a large amount of money and food.It can be said that now Luo Cheng's township group has a strong foundation.

The big pot in the military camp was moved to the gate of the camp, the water was boiled, and the rolled dough was not put into the pot. The wide dough was rolled in the pot, and some lard was added, and some chopped green onions were sprinkled when it came out of the pot, not to mention too much Fragrant.

Everyone eats this free food, although there is only one bowl per person, but the soup is enough.

So some people insist on eating five or six bowls of soup. On the way home, they can feel the soup in their belly shaking, and even feel that the noodle soup is about to spurt out after a full stomach.

As for the newly selected two hundred boys, the lunch meal was much better than this.

There are two big bowls for each person, and a spoonful of haggis is piled on top of it, which is so protruding.

The teenagers who ate almost bit off their tongues.

At this moment, they really felt that the Xiangtuan was treated as well as the legend said.

By noon, the last bit of soup in the big pots outside the camp gate was gone, and everyone finally went home with their stomachs full and satisfied.

But in the evening.

For some reason, many children gathered outside the gate of the camp. They stood in thin clothes in the cold wind, looking at the camp expectantly.

"May I ask what's going on?" Luo Cheng frowned when he heard the report.

The people outside the door are all children under the age of ten, who are not up to the standard of the township group.

"Xiao Wu, I asked. They are basically orphans and beggars. I heard that we have free food here, so they all rushed over."

"They are all orphans and beggars?" Luo Cheng asked.

"Mostly."

"If that's the case, give them the bottom first."

Wang Ziming said anxiously, "Xiao Wu, these are all little beggars. If they eat noodles here today, they will definitely hang around here every day and refuse to leave. We can feed them, but we can't keep them forever." Bar?"

"Why can't you keep it?" Luo Cheng asked back.

"Ah? Supporting?" Wang Ziming jumped up, "Although we have a little wealth now, we are a township regiment, and we don't have the imperial court's food and salary. This kind of wealth can't last long, so we can't spend it carelessly."

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, listen to me. As for me, I think about it this way. These people outside are orphans and beggars. They are indeed very pitiful."

"It's pitiful, but we can't just support them."

"Listen to me. Didn't I tell the parents of those brothers who died in battle? Those brothers who died in battle were still young, mostly thirteen or fourteen years old. In the future, there will be no one who burns paper money. I promise them that I will raise an heir for them, and I will sacrifice to them in the future and pass on the incense. These children outside are quite suitable, most of them are under ten years old. If they are willing, then we will take them in They, let them worship the dead brother as their father, in this way, it can be regarded as the best of both worlds."

Wang Ziming really didn't expect this.

"You put it that way, it's not all nonsense. It's just that you really want to do it?"

"Ask those children if they are willing. If there are willing ones, it will be fine."

The pot was set up again outside the camp gate.

Those children in the wind were attracted.

Luo Cheng stood by the pot and waved to them.

There are about a dozen children, basically boys, only one girl, all of them are very thin, skinny, but have firm eyes.

Orphans and beggars without fathers and mothers, eight or nine years old can survive, and they are all strong.

Luo Cheng asked them to sit by the pot and warm the fire, and when the noodles were cooked, he made them himself.

"Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, and take care of your fullness."

Looking at those children who were eating sputteringly, his heart ached.Older children can usually find some work, even if they are sold as slaves, they can at least earn a living, but these children are neither big nor small, so they are the most unpopular.They can't work, they're unpalatable, and they're not easy to raise.

"What's your name?"

Luo Cheng asked the oldest of the children. This child behaved steadily, and he could be seen as the head of these children at a glance.

"My name is Kan Leng."

The child answered briefly, but spoke clearly, and was not afraid of people.

"What about you?" Luo Cheng asked another older child.

"My name is Wang Xiongyan."

There was a child next to him who was protecting the only girl tightly. Before Luo Cheng could ask, he took the initiative to say, "My name is Ximen Junyi, and this is my cousin Wang Huiniang."
