The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

As soon as Guo Nuan heard it, he immediately became interested in the selection of recruits.Although this Bing Cao uncle was a bit fierce when he first came into contact with him.But after Guo Nuan and the others got acquainted with him.That Bingcao became much more talkative.

Bing Cao was on his way to the selection yard while rushing.He opened the chatterbox and introduced the selection requirements in detail.

First.The selection of Jiedushi Fanbing must first be 20 years old.Before the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.Due to frequent wars, the source of troops was greatly depleted.The selection age for recruiting strong lads has even been lowered to 16 years old.Later, after the dynasty stabilized, the civil strife subsided.With the advent of the era of peace.The army does not need too many soldiers.The court gradually raised the age of enlistment to 21.But it was the prosperous period of Zhenguan.The border is not peaceful now.In order to expand the scope of recruited soldiers.The age for enlisting in the army was raised by one year.Of course the treasury is empty at the moment.Even if the war is tight.The government can't recruit too many soldiers.This is a waste of money.The age of enlistment is not too low.

"Hey. That's a cavalry battalion. It's so powerful."

Guo Nuan passed by a school yard.There was a detachment of fifty hussars there.They were riding their horses to practice galloping around the playground.Well-trained to wield a gun.riding and shooting.Suddenly a charge.Dozens of straw figures tied with straw fell down.After a round of riding and shooting. The targets more than 50 paces away were filled with arrows.This made the sharp-eyed Guo Nuan's eyes shine.

Bing Cao also turned his head to look at Guo Nuan's surprise.Can't help but smile knowingly.He patted Guo Nuan on the shoulder: "Hey, you kid. You haven't passed the infantry test yet. Now you're targeting the cavalry. Young man. Don't be too ambitious."

In a big yard.Paved with two long trails.There are also some instruments for testing.Guo Nuan felt eager to try.Da Biao is also gearing up.As for Ah Fu, he just came to make soy sauce.He is the young master at the side.Da Biao shouted for cheer.The red face looked very excited.It was as if he was going to join the army.

"No, wait for the stick." Bing Cao asked some handymen to bring in a wooden pole with engraved scales.

"Soldiers are selected here with a staff of the same length. In the past, the width of the back and the thickness of the arms were measured for the selection of soldiers. But now young people. The generation is not as good as the generation. There are very few who can reach the height of the first-class soldiers. So the width of the back The selection requirements for physical fitness have also been reduced a lot. Now they are exempt from the test."

Bing Cao explained.Immediately, the handyman measured Da Biao's upright body with a stick equal to his length.

"Report to Mr. Cao, the soldier. Six feet and one inch." The handyman reported loudly.

Bing Cao smiled: "Look at your big bastard. When I first glanced at you, I guessed that you were six feet. The name is really worthy of the name. Not bad. Good seedling. He is tall, fat and has a future. In the future, enlist in the army and work hard under my hands ah."

"Hey. Thank you for your cultivation, my lord." I followed the bad Guo Nuan for a year.At this moment, the fat man has also become a little slippery.Haven't tested it myself yet.He climbed up the stick and flattered him.

Guo Nuan looked at Bingcao staring at the fat man and immediately revealed his eyes.Guo Nuan couldn't help muttering in his heart.It turns out that Uncle Cao, the soldier, had targeted Da Biao a long time ago.No wonder they yelled casually when meeting each other like they were their own recruits.It seems that we will be determined in the future.

"Report, sir. This scholar is exactly six feet." The handyman then measured Guo Nuan's height.

It is said that the prescribed length of the ancient size is not the same length in different eras.Guo Nuan was also confused by Tang Juan for a while after traveling to the Tang Dynasty.

Guo Nuan clearly remembers that a foot in modern times is about 33 centimeters.But he made a ten centimeter ruler.He measured that one foot in the Tang Dynasty was [-] centimeters.No wonder Guo Nuan often read what the ancients said about a man when he was learning ancient Chinese in junior high school.A tall and burly man is called a husband.It's frighteningly tall.It was only later that he realized that the old man was not just talking nonsense by the ancients.

husband.husband.From the literal meaning, it can be known that it refers to a man who is one foot tall.Husband, of course, means a man.However, Guo Nuan was a little dizzy when she was in junior high school.husband.Were the ancients really that tall?A foot high is [-] meters.Isn't it true that in ancient times, many men were very tall.A lot of ancient people taller than Yao Ming were caught on the street.Guo Nuan estimated that the length of a zhang in the pre-Qin period would certainly not exceed two meters.Otherwise, the height of the ancients is too outrageous.

Besides.Guo Nuan also used a cloth ruler to measure her height a year ago.At that time, he converted it into the international centimeter unit, which was exactly 1.8 meters ten centimeters.Now I didn't expect that it would be better to have a tough and difficult life than a pig and a dog in the South China Sea.He actually grew another four centimeters.This made him chuckle.No wonder recently I feel that Shengping's wife cut a lot of fabric when buying clothes for herself recently.

"Not bad. Although you don't look weak, you are well-proportioned. Six feet just meets the selection requirements for cavalry." Bing Cao saw that Guo Nuan was very yearning for cavalry.He deliberately mentioned the selection requirements for the cavalry.

"Haha. Really. Very good, very good. Then I have hope to become a cavalryman." Guo Nuan was very happy after hearing this.

Bing Cao smiled slightly: "If you can stand up to my uncle's special devil training plan. If you can endure hardships... I have some hope of becoming a cavalry."

Don't gossip too much.Bing Cao's expression immediately changed into that of an instructor's pancake face, which was very solemn.He gestured to a few handymen to start the next test.

"You are tall enough. If you pass the next few physical fitness tests, you can serve as a soldier."

Bing Cao didn't ask Guo Nuan if they had any special skills.Because he preconceived that these two men joined the army because of his old friend Zhang Lushi's relatives.

Of course, the little guy who walked through the back door has nothing to do with it.This can't be blamed on Uncle Cao's preconceived thinking.

The recruitment of two types of soldiers is regardless of height.For example, the imperial camp and the driving officer.or people with special skills.Like riding a horse.lurking.Drilling holes.He has excellent hearing and eyesight.Can run a marathon.Good at rock climbing.Jumping high and so on.Of course, civil servants don't have to strictly check their height.For example, those who manage the warehouses of various departments and other clerical sundries.

"Now pick up this sack. Fifteen steps up to that white lime line with the weight on your shoulders is a pass."

Bing Cao pointed to the white lines at the end of the stone runway in the yard.

"Um. That's the last blue line on the ground in the corner." The fat man's eyes were sharp.He saw a blue line at a distance of eighty paces.

"That was broken by a savage warrior raised in the northern wilds 20 years ago. Eighty-nine strides."

Bing Cao's faint sentence made Guo Nuan a little ashamed.

"Drink." The words were empty.The fat man picked up a bag of sacks on his own.Fortunately, his footing is relatively stable.One staggered and almost fell.Guo Nuan, who was secretly stunned, saw that the fat man, who was always as strong as a bull, was shaking his knees at this moment.

Guo Nuan curiously asked Bing Cao who was watching: "Uh, uncle. What's in this sack. It looks heavy."

Bing Cao stretched his five fingers and said calmly: "It weighs four dendrobiums. There is only a bag of scrap iron in it."

"Four Dendrobiums. Grandma's. It's more than 400 catties. It's no wonder that the waist is not broken." Guo Nuan was even more speechless after hearing this.

"Oh, young man. It's not that easy to be an infantryman. You thought you were shopping in a kiln. It's a sudden whim. You can go shopping if you want. If you want to go, you can go when you want to go."

This is rough enough.Makes sense though.Guo Nuan felt the same way.

"Drink." The fat man snorted again.With his fat and strong arms, he strode deeply against the 400-jin heavy sack.It was not stable at first.After walking seven or eight steps.The more you walk, the more stable you will be.But at this moment, the fat man was already out of breath.The bean-sized beads of sweat flowed continuously in April and May of Yangchun.

"Da Biao. Come on." Ah Fu jumped and shouted from the side.Guo Nuan clenched her fists and sweated for her buddies.

"Passed. Yes." Guo Nuan shook his fist violently towards the void.Passed the white line.Here are twenty steps. 25.thirty…

"It's over. It's over. Let it go now. Don't break your body." At this moment, Bing Cao's heart was full of love for talents.This fat man is not bad. 35 steps have survived.Definitely a good seedling.

"No. It's still far away." The fat man helped the sack that was about to slip off his shoulder.He felt his leg bones rattling.It seems to be broken.This sack is really heavy.

"Wow. 56 steps." Ah Fu danced and shouted like a child at the moment: "Da Biao. Da Biao. You are the best." Lala shouted more vigorously.

"Broken. Broken. Hehe." Bing Cao murmured with a smile.Straighten your beard.

"What's broken?" Guo Nuan asked curiously after watching Da Biao's nervousness during the test.

"The record of recruit Danzi ten years ago." Bing Cao said with a narrowed smile.

The fat man felt numb in his hands now.I counted another threshold number in my heart: "Huhu. Seventy. Quack. We must surpass him."

"Oh. Da Biao. You are a strong man. Come on." A Fu shouted even more vigorously under the shocked eyes of Guo Nuan and Bing Cao.

"Grandma's. This fat man used to waste so much food. He was consuming and not producing. I underestimated Da Biao. Haha. I didn't expect that such a fat body hides so much strength." Guo Nuan woke up.I couldn't help shouting and laughing.

"En. The following ones can pass without trying."

Bing Cao, who was secretly delighted, now looked solemn.He was going to report the astonishing test scores of this new recruit to his boss later.

It is said that you can take a standard step length of four hundred catties, let alone seventy steps.It will be one in a million in ten years.It is able to break through sixty steps.The Shuofang Military Region has recruited more than 40 soldiers over the past ten years.No more than 30 people.This fat man is really strong.Or maybe this test result might alarm Marshal Guo.Bing Cao thought so.

"Woo hoo. 83 steps." After taking this step, the fat man threw the sack heavily on the ground.He fell to the ground and rested.

"I haven't broken the record. I've been feeling weak lately. It seems that I'm not performing properly. Otherwise, I can definitely surpass him..." Fatty wailed for a while.He lay down on the ground and looked at the blue line on the ground that was just a few steps away.Da Biao looked a little frustrated.

It is said that it took more than a month to go to Shuofang.The three of Guo Nuan ate and slept together.Can't eat fresh meat.For fat people who want to consume a lot of nutrition.I almost vomited after eating bacon jerky all day long.Lately the energy has also dropped.

"Haha. I will definitely report your test results later. Or Zhang Dabiao, you can use your brute force to be directly promoted to the rank of captain and the old man who has worked hard in the barracks for so many years."
