I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 7 Encountering obstacles in joining the army
  Jinyang Mansion, recruiting office.

Li Zheng stood in front of an officer recruiting soldiers.

Looking at the tall and muscular Li Zheng in front of him, the officer nodded with satisfaction. With his figure, he was a good soldier.

"Place of origin?"

the officer asked.

"Jinyang Mansion, Changzhi County."

"age?"

"Fifteen."

"What? Fifteen years old!"

The officer looked at the tall and mature Li Zheng in front of him in surprise.

This figure and this mature appearance don't look like a fifteen-year-old child!
  "Did you know that you cannot join the army if you are not legally old enough to join the army under the age of fifteen?"

The officer glanced at Li Zheng with regret and shouted to the people in the back:

"Next person!"

"Master Jun, although I am not old enough, my body is no worse than that of an adult. Look at my muscles!"

Li Zheng did not walk away. He rolled up his sleeves and exposed his strong muscles to the officer.

The officer looked at it with admiration in his eyes, but he still said:
  "Little brother, your physical fitness is enough, but you are one year younger. Why don't you come back and join the recruitment next year?"

"The military does not accept underage children."

"I'm not a child. In a few months, I will be sixteen years old. I already have a woman. Why can't I join the army?"

"Just you? There is also a woman, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

The officer laughed loudly when he heard this, and the soldiers standing next to him couldn't help laughing.

"Master Jun, isn't the purpose of joining the army to go into battle and kill the enemy? I have a lot of strength and can kill the enemy as well as anyone else, so just accept me!"

Li Zheng said reluctantly in the face of the officer's ridicule.

"Forget it, little brother, going to the battlefield is not as easy as you think. Wait until you are an adult before signing up!"

The officer waved his hand to send him away.

At this time, Li Zheng was a little anxious. If he couldn't join the army, how could he marry Wan'er, and he had already activated the system.

No matter what, we have to enter the military camp!
  Just when Li Zheng was thinking about how to convince the officer.

At this time.

A general with extraordinary momentum walked out of the city, wearing bright armor and a sword on his waist.

The general came to the recruiting office, looked at the recruiting officers and asked:
  "How is the recruitment situation this time? Have you recruited any superior soldiers?"

"Return to General Su."

"This time the Jinyang Prefecture has recruited 65,000 new soldiers, which is 15,000 more than the expected 50,000. However, not many upper-level soldiers have been recruited. They are mainly farmers, and more can ride horses. few."

The recruiting officer stood up and replied respectfully.

"Ok!"

"It's okay, 65,000 new recruits, train them well, and then we'll see if we can find any good prospects during the training."

"What our Tang army is most lacking right now is cavalry and archers. If we can find such good prospects among these recruits, General Manager Li will definitely be very happy."

General Su was satisfied with the numbers given by the recruiting officers, but he was a little worried about the quality of the recruits.

You must know that Turks are born warriors, and they usually eat and drink on horses.

They eat mutton and beef and drink milk wine, and their physical fitness is much better than that of the Central Plains people who eat corn.

Coupled with being able to ride horses since childhood, such a grassland army has always been a strong enemy of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Therefore, when recruiting troops this time, General Su attached great importance to the quality of the soldiers.

Just when General Su turned to leave, a young man stopped him.

"General, I want to join the army!"

General Su glanced at the tall young man in front of him in confusion, and secretly cheered, what a great young man.

"If you want to join the army, go to the recruiting office. Isn't that the recruitment process?"

General Su felt a little baffled.

"He won't accept me!"

"why?"

General Su asked the recruiting officer with confusion on his face, why didn't he accept it after finally seeing a good soldier? !
  "General, he is not old enough and does not meet the recruitment requirements!" The recruiting officer quickly stood up and explained to General Su.

"So this is ah!"

General Su glanced at the majestic Li Zheng with some pity, and said regretfully:

"Young man, wait until you are of age and then join the army!"

As he said that, he shook his head regretfully and prepared to turn around and leave.

"General, I'm only a few months away from turning sixteen. General, just accept me!"

"Look at my strength, I just want to kill the enemy and serve the country."

General Su hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and sighed:
  "The army has regulations that no one under the age of sixteen is allowed to join the army. You have a lot of strength..."

Before General Su finished speaking, he saw Li Zheng walking not far away in front of a stone lock that was used to measure physical fitness. He held the handle with both hands and gently raised it, and then danced the stone lock like a juggler.

Finally, it was thrown high and hit the ground hard, making a deep pit in the ground.

"hiss!"

General Su took a breath of air. As one of the most powerful generals in the Tang Dynasty, with a martial arts prowess that ranked among the three armies, he could naturally lift this stone lock.

But it would be very difficult for Li Zheng to dance with ease and ease.

"Are you really under sixteen?"

General Su calmed down and asked doubtfully.

"Fifteen years and nine months old, three months before I turn sixteen."

Li Zheng answered truthfully.

At this moment, General Su was really tempted when he saw Li Zheng again.

With such a good figure and such strength, it would be a waste not to serve as a soldier.

He already had the intention of soliciting, but he still asked:
  "Does your parents know that you are joining the army?"

This time, Li Zheng played a little trick:
  "Tell the general, my parents are dead. They were killed by Turkic barbarians. I must avenge them."

"General, just do it and accept me. I am at odds with the Turkic barbarians!"

As soon as this word comes out.

General Su had no worries at all. He had not seen such a good soldier for many years.

"it is good!"

"I will accept you with special approval!"

General Su made the decision on the spot without any further hesitation and accepted Li Zheng.

heard.

Li Zheng was overjoyed that he could finally join the army.

"Enter the military camp and become a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, you can choose the system template."

"This may be related to my future path."

Soon, the recruitment here ended.

General Su ordered the recruiting officer:
  "Bring these new recruits back to Beida Camp."

"Yes!"

The recruiting officer agreed and called a few subordinates to gather these hundreds of recruits together.

"All new recruits, please form five columns according to your size and follow me to Beida Camp."

The recruiting officer shouted an order.

Li Zheng, who was standing first in line, had eyes full of anticipation:

"Datang Army, here I come!"

Led by officers.

The recruits came to the recruit camp in the north of Jinyang Fucheng.

This is a temporary camp. The real Tang Army camp is located in the Datong Military Camp. These recruits can enter the Datong Military Camp in batches after a period of training.

That is, the real soldiers of the Tang Dynasty sent troops to fight against the Turks.

【Ding! 】

[The host enters the military camp and opens the system template selection. 】
