Chapter 250 7.6 Follow-up Arrangements for Cleaning Up the County Soldiers
Chapter 7 I forged the soul of Han in the Three Kingdoms
7.6 Clearing up county soldiers and follow-up arrangements

Early the next morning, outside Shangdang City, the county soldiers camped.

Deng Feng led Xiao Zhao, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun into the military camp easily, followed closely by Wang Yue and 15 disciples. No one questioned or checked the whole process, or even a gatekeeper. No.

The entire military camp was quiet, and there was not even a single hair on the campus.Several people came to the Chinese army's tent but did not see anyone coming. There was not even a single guard left in such a core area.

"Zhang Liao, beat the drum, raise the tent, and time the clock!" Deng Feng sat in the middle with a gloomy face. Although the other party knew that Deng Feng had taken office, he still had no preparations. It seems that Deng Feng's idea was a bit too good. In fact, there were even a few people in this military camp. No one agrees with him.

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Liao clasped his fists in salute and immediately went to the tent to beat the military drum.

When the three-way drumming was completed, a bunch of creatures who should be regarded as officers and soldiers finally gathered on the school field. There was no other way but to use these adjectives.

Thousands of people gathered noisily and chattering on the school grounds. Except for the weapons in their hands and the armor on their bodies, there was nothing related to the "military".

"Oh, I'm sleeping soundly, who's playing the drum randomly?"

"Shut up, I heard that the prefect arrived yesterday, and I must come here today to have a look. How dare you curse and die?"

"Look at my bad mouth! Thank you brother for taking care of me!"

"Which one in front is the governor?"

"I don't know, they're not even wearing official uniforms."

"Idiot, it must be the one in the front and middle. How dare you stand in front of the general! Do you want to die?"

"It does have a sword hanging on it, but I don't know how. It looks too much like a pretty boy."

"Where is our captain?"

"Not here, I didn't see it!"

"It's broken. Military orders can stipulate it. If the three drums and drums fail, behead!"

"Are you kidding me? The governor just came and killed the commander of the county military academy? You don't behave like an official."

At the door of the main tent, Deng Feng looked at the chaos in front of him with a cold expression, but did not say a word.

According to the normal establishment, these troops of about 1000 people should be about one unit, and the person in charge is a captain; they are divided into two qu, which are in charge of the military princes. The lower part of the qu is divided into ten tuns, with the commander of the tun. Wu Chang and Shi Chang.

Nowadays, the school grounds have been in chaos for a long time, but no officer came out to organize the team. The school captain and the two military princes were even missing. This is very interesting.

Gradually, everyone realized that something was wrong. The noisy sounds of the vegetable market gradually disappeared, and the scene gradually became quiet, until only the murmur of the majestic wind blowing through the camp fence was left.

"Tell me, why don't you say it? Don't say that I won't give you a chance. Go on, so that you won't have to find someone later when you want to kill a few people." Deng Feng's voice easily spread throughout the country. Field, the official effect of "Ghost Prison Roar of the Wind".

The scene became even more deserted.

"Where is your captain? Are there any officers left? One of them is alive!" Zhang Liao is now actually the number one military officer under Deng Feng. In this case, he will definitely be the villain.

Not only that, he and Gao Shun were both elite soldiers in Bingzhou. Although their status was not high, they had participated in many battles. They had actually seen blood with the Huns who invaded. They were used to seeing elite troops. Now look at these trash. Team, that is unacceptable no matter what.

"Lord Qi, the captain and the two military lords went to the Zhang Mansion for a banquet last night. I'm afraid they drank too much today and haven't been able to come back for the time being." There was no way to pretend to be stupid at this time. One of them looked quite young. The head of the village bit the bullet and stood up.

"Have you notified them?" Deng Feng asked lightly.

"After you raised your account, the three adults' personal soldiers have gone to inform you." The commander of the village answered again.

"It's okay, at least I know that I need to notify, so that I can't find anyone when I want to kill." Deng Feng's words stunned the people below. Listening to him, does this mean that he really wants to do it on the first day of taking office?

Deng Feng was not interested in explaining. He just stood there without saying a word, and he stood there for an hour. The county soldiers below were okay at first, but within half an hour some people started to be unable to stand, but after Deng Feng took the lead and stood still Under such circumstances, no one would be stupid enough to look for excitement at this time.

By the time the captain came back with the two military princes, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning according to modern time.

"My lord, please forgive me. I had a few drinks yesterday and was late. I promise that I will not do it again in the future." Finally, the late captain arrived in front of Deng Feng and apologized.

Just looking at his arrogant posture and perfunctory expression, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem to be taking it too seriously.

"The chief officer's account is promoted, and the three-way drum is completed but fails to arrive, what should be the crime?" They themselves didn't take it seriously, and Deng Feng was even less interested in taking these three tricks that didn't even have a name seriously, and he was murderous when he opened his mouth. Get straight to the point.

"Sir, I just accidentally missed the time." A capable captain is definitely not a fool, so he immediately changed the subject and limited the responsibility to the "mistime", which meant that he would not accept Deng Feng's intention.

"Wang Yue, kill them." Deng Feng was not interested in fighting with them. Anyway, the original plan was to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. As for which chicken he wanted to kill, Deng Feng really didn't take it seriously, but now there happened to be three. If the fried chicken is popular, the effect will be even better.

"You dare, the young master of the Zhang family and I..." The captain didn't even realize what the problem was until his death.

"Qiang——" Wang Yue unsheathed his sword without saying a word, and the sword light flashed without most people seeing it clearly.

When everyone saw him return to his original position, there were already three headless corpses on the ground, but the three heads flew ten meters away, and were lined up right in front of the military formation, and they were arranged very neatly.

The scene was instantly silent.

"Where is the Huotou Army?" It was just a few people dead. Deng Feng really didn't care too much and turned around to start the next plan.

"The villain. The villain is here!" A veteran who looked to be over forty years old, his face pale and almost trembling, squeezed to the front and reported to Deng Feng.

"Is the meal ready?"

"Reporting to my lord, I'm not ready yet. Today, as soon as my lord enters the camp, I will beat the drums and gather the generals. Little man, I haven't had time to do it yet!" The head cook was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Deng Feng.

"Do it now. I have to cook. I will take the assessment later and make sure everyone is fed." Deng Feng also knew what the problem was, and now was not the time to hold people accountable.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." The head cook kowtowed a few more times, and then crawled to the kitchen behind to cook.

Deng Feng and the others didn't have breakfast either, so they ate with everyone else. However, seeing the so-called "wheat rice" in front of them, both Deng Feng and Xiao Zhao found it hard to swallow.

On the other hand, other staff, including Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Wang Yue and 15 apprentices, all calmly started to grab food - yes, chopsticks at this time were not completely used as eating tools, and most people still used them when eating. Just grab it by hand.

Moreover, the dishes at this time were not even a bit worse than those of later generations, so there was no need to go to such trouble when eating.

Not only that, the so-called "wheat rice" is to wash the wheat grains that are not very clean or even not necessarily shelled, steam or cook them in a pot, and serve them before eating. .

The rice is also mixed with wheat husks, bran and other impurities that modern people no longer eat. The taste is sour just thinking about it.

At this time, there was actually a way to grind wheat into flour and then make pancakes, but it had not yet fermented, or risen, so the bread could only be eaten.

But in the military camp, these low-status Qiuba obviously couldn't get enough to eat.

Looking at Xiao Zhao helplessly, Deng Feng gave up the idea of ​​continuing to eat - of course what he and the girls ate during this period was rice, meat, and vegetables.Originally, I wanted to show that I shared weal and woe with the soldiers today, but now I had to give up. He didn't eat, and Xiao Zhao didn't even have the idea of ​​eating. The two of them had to go hungry for the time being.

Chen Gong and others all saw the problem, but didn't say anything. In this era, there is no such thing as "everyone is equal". Status means power and treatment. It's not surprising that the two of them can't stand it.

Wang Yue stood up and walked towards the kitchen, but was stopped by Deng Feng.

It was a group of fire-headed soldiers, only then remembered that they had forgotten to do something special for the adults, and their faces turned pale with fright, but Deng Feng didn't care, and waved away the boss who came over and kowtowed.

After everyone finished eating and rested for more than half an hour, Deng Feng finally decided to start the assessment. The method was very simple - running!
"Everyone listen to the order, run three laps around the school field, time the half stick of incense, start now!" Deng Feng shouted to everyone who barely finished the whole team, then turned and left. Wang Yue next to him had already lit the timer. .

A group of old, weak, sick and disabled people didn't react at first. They looked at each other before they understood what Deng Feng meant. Then, under the supervision of their respective village leaders, they started running in circles, and everyone worked very hard, especially the three headless corpses still lying on the ground. In front of the big tent.

More than 1000 people sounds like a lot, but it is actually equivalent to the number of people in a slightly larger junior high school in later generations. A modern standard 400-meter track playground can easily accommodate it.

The school grounds are much larger than ordinary playgrounds. One circle is over a thousand meters, and three circles are less than 3000 meters. In ancient times, one stick of incense took about half an hour, and half a stick of incense took about 15 minutes.

To put it another way, Deng Feng's order was to run less than 15 meters within 3000 minutes, which is not even the passing line for the army in modern times.

And his timing is very broad, mainly because people of this era are generally lacking in nutrition. The original plan was to count as long as they ran down. Basically, a normal adult can bear it with a little bit of grit. It can be said to be very loose.

Unfortunately, Deng Feng thought too much.
After a full stick of incense was burned, Deng Feng was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword and kill people when he saw that the total number of people at the end was just over 100, because the other elders were already lying down or sitting in various postures. Stopped all over the school grounds.

Not only that, but none of the 10 village chiefs had completed the assessment. Even the old village chief who had just answered did not know where to hide at the moment.

Forget it if you can't finish the race, most of the people in the middle are thinking about being lazy, and many people even want to rush across the middle of the school field. If Wang Yue hadn't blocked them with his disciples, what would have happened.

"Everyone, listen, except for the 117 people who ran away, all the rest took off their clothes and armor, left their weapons, and got out. Get out now, don't let me see you again!" Deng Feng shouted loudly, instantly shocking the entire audience. , everyone including Chen Gong and others were stunned!

This is too reckless, how can there be such a rectification of the army?Even if the soldiers are to be fired, why not go through the procedures?

If this were converted to modern times, it would mean that after a new army chief took office, he would conduct a physical fitness test and then announce that all those who failed the test would be fired, and at least [-]% of them would be fired without any formalities!
"Sir, if you fire a few soldiers at will, it won't be a big deal; but if so many soldiers are fired at once, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain to the superiors!" Compared to Deng Feng, Zhang Liao obviously understood army rules better.

"No need, what use are these soldiers? Are we going to keep them for future wars and collapse at the first touch?" Deng Feng shouted angrily.

"This -" Zhang Liao had nothing to say about this. Most of the people eliminated were not aggrieved. They were all useless, and the ones who were retained were just a waste of food.

"Do you understand the military regulations? How can you be so careless?" An officer dressed as a commander came forward to argue.

"Qiang——" The sword light flashed, and there was another headless corpse on the ground. The angry Deng Feng couldn't bear it anymore, "Who else wants to reason with me?"

"My lord, we haven't paid our military salary for two months. As long as your lord reissues it, we will leave immediately!" A voice came, but there were dozens of people who came up, and it was unclear who called it.

"Yes, pay!"

"It's only natural to be a soldier and get paid!"

Seeing that Deng Feng didn't speak, these people immediately became much bolder and the noise became louder and louder. No one else spoke, they all gathered around to see what was going on.

"Qiang——" There was another soft sound, and most people didn't see it clearly. Deng Feng had returned to his original position, and the dozens of people who had just stepped forward had all fallen to the ground.

"If anyone else has an opinion, please bring it up. I'm listening!" Deng Feng glanced at everyone with a cold gaze.

He is now fully convinced that the vast majority of these soldiers who failed to complete the assessment are soldiers and may have been aggrieved, but he is no longer interested in making special distinctions.

What Deng Feng didn't notice was that all the aboriginal people from the Three Kingdoms looked at him in shock. Xiao Zhao didn't find it strange. She knew her young master's skills very well.

The scene instantly became dead silent. For a long time, someone came from behind the team, took off their armor, threw down their weapons, climbed over the wall and ran away. Once someone took the lead, other scared people began to follow suit, and the number of people on the school ground began to change significantly. few.

"Wang Yue, take care of your people. If anyone dares to escape with clothes, armor and weapons, I allow you to kill them on the spot!"

"Yes, sir!" Wang Yue immediately accepted the order with his fists clasped, scattered his disciples around the camp, and actually killed a few who wanted to run away with their things.

"You guys, those over 25 years old stand on the left, those under 16 years old stand on the right, and the rest stand in the middle! Ghost girl, call those fire-headed soldiers over!" After more than half an hour, all the irrelevant people People clean up.

Deng Feng then looked at the remaining 100 people. Their faces were also pale with fear. After hearing Deng Feng's order, they almost completed their formation as a conditioned reflex.

Looking at the divided teams, there were less than 16 people under the age of 10, nearly 25 people over the age of 20, and the rest were all young and strong, and none of them were too short; I glanced at the Huotou Army again, the general age It's too big, and two of them have already started to gray their hair.

In this era, ordinary people rarely have enough to eat, let alone eat well; they still have to do heavy manual labor, so their life span is generally short and they age quickly.

Most people show signs of aging before the age of 40, and those who live over 50 are longevity.It is for this reason that Deng Feng specifically adjusted the age for joining the army.

"You veterans, please go back today. I will give each of you two gold severance pay later." At this point, Deng Feng nodded to Xiao Zhao.

The ghost girl immediately returned to the big tent. When she came out, she had a cloth bag filled with gold leaves in her hand. She began to give out two coins to each person, "The remaining people, those over 25 years old, you will become the Huotou Army from now on."

Those in the middle will continue to serve as soldiers, and those under 16 are still young. Wang Yue, let them follow you. "

"Yes, my lord!" Wang Yue hurriedly obeyed.

The scene was quiet for a moment, and then various sounds rang out.

"Sir, you are so benevolent and righteous! I'm kowtowing to you!" This is the Fire-headed Army who has finished receiving the golden leaves.

"Thank you for your grace!" This is a kid under the age of 16. They all see Wang Yue's identity as the leader of his own soldiers. This can be regarded as a step to the sky.

"No!" These are the remaining young men and the new Firehead Army.

"Who is a cavalryman among you?" Deng Feng added, but unfortunately, everyone was at a loss, and there was no one at all.

"That's all." Deng Feng understood. It seemed that those cavalrymen were the confidants of the former captain. Now they are either dead or running away. "Hong Lin, from now on, these people will be handed over to you, and you will be in charge of the infantry of the county soldiers!"

"Yes, thank you, lord!" Gao Shun agreed happily.

"Wenyuan, you are in charge of the cavalry part!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Gongtai, post a recruitment notice as soon as possible. We first need 1000 infantry and 500 cavalry. We will make do with the weapons we have now. I will provide better ones in the future.

Contact the local aristocratic family for the horse. It doesn’t matter if it’s a little more expensive. We’ve just arrived and we must share the benefits. If you don’t have enough money, come to me! "The last part of the job has the most work, but it is assigned to Chen Gong.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ming!"
