Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 100
Six days ago, when those people returned to the mountain, they brought back a total of more than 230 people. Gao Qi was very happy at the time, and he cashed the reward without hesitation. Li Jing remembered that Gao Qi seemed to have paid 36 taels of silver.

For Gao Qi, although 36 taels of silver is a lot, it will not hurt his muscles or bones.

Because Gao Qi’s salary is the highest on the mountain, if Gao Qi’s salary is saved up for such a long time, there will be no problem with 200 taels, at least 160 taels.

At that time, Li Jing saw that Gao Qi came out with 36 taels of silver, but he didn't care.

He will definitely remember what Gao Qi did, and he will fill this hole as long as he rewards him more.

Who would have thought that those people would bring back so many people this time, especially that Tang Shuanzi, who brought in more than 150 people by himself, the little salary that Gao Qi saved must not be enough.

Li Jing was amused in his heart, but he shook his head and smiled, "Brother, what are you thinking? You asked me to borrow money? You don't know if I have money? You can search this house casually, and whatever you find is yours. "

Gao Qi also knew that Li Jing didn't have a big character, and the things in this room were all bought by Shen Zheng.The only reason he was looking for Li Jing was to let Li Jing carry this famine over.

"Brother, can you help me, why don't you lend me 200 taels of silver from Uncle Shen?" Gao Qi said shyly.

"Why don't you borrow it yourself? It's not that you are not familiar with Uncle Shen." Li Jing shook his head and said.

Gao Qi said with a bitter face: "The key is how I opened my mouth! Brother, if you can, please help me this time!"

Li Jing shook his head hastily: "I have to repay the borrowed money, and I haven't repaid what I borrowed before."

"Brother, you have borrowed tens of thousands of dollars. Are you still short of the 200 taels of silver? As the saying goes, if you have too much debt, you can borrow it for me once!" Gao Qi almost knelt down and kowtowed.

"Hahahaha!" Li Jing suddenly burst out laughing.

After laughing, he felt that he had teased Gao Qi enough, Li Jing waved his hands and smiled, "Come on, don't act like a dead father. Let's go, I'll ask Zhang Ao to pay you the money from the public account."

When Gao Qi heard this, he was immediately relieved.

"It will be deducted from your military salary in the future." Li Jing suddenly answered.

Upon hearing this, Gao Qi staggered and almost fell.

Li Jing patted Gao Qi's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "However, you have done a good job this time, and I have to reward you heavily. How about this, I will reward you with 250 taels of silver."

After Li Jing finished speaking, he laughed again.

Gao Qi was overjoyed, at this moment he finally knew that Li Jing was making fun of him.

But he didn't know that Li Jing was still teasing him when he said he was two hundred and five.

It took less than half a month for Hongshanling to recruit soldiers this time. A total of 120 auxiliary soldiers were recruited, 230 of whom had special skills.

Far exceeded Li Jing's expectations.

Due to Tang Shuanzi's outstanding performance in this recruiting work, Li Jing made an exception and promoted Tang Shuanzi directly as a first-class soldier.

However, with so many people on the mountain all of a sudden, the number of officers suddenly seemed insufficient.

Li Jing counted the days, and it was time for the assessment. At the same time, it was also for the newcomers to see how the old brothers trained.So Li Jing gave an order, and the second promotion assessment began.

The second assessment was obviously much more intense than the first.

Seeing that others were promoted and received more salary, the group of people who lost in the first competition were training vigorously, and now that it is a critical moment, they are not risking their lives.

However, there are many more subjects in the second assessment than before.

The first is the use of firearms.

Li Jing asked people to light the incense sticks to see who could fire the most shots and hit the most targets while the incense sticks were burning.

Note that this is only a qualification to be promoted. If you want to really get promoted, you need to achieve certain results in the contest of swords and guns to get promoted.

This is something that is currently impossible.

Although the new musket was successfully developed, the output was too low. So far, only dozens of them have been produced, mainly using old-fashioned muskets.

In this case, it is absolutely impossible not to use knives and guns to fight.

Of course, in the case of the same record, those with good performance in using firecrackers will be promoted first.

The second is the use of artillery.

Since there were two more tiger squatting guns on the mountain, Li Jing also put artillery training on the agenda.

Li Jing asked all the old brothers to know how to use artillery, and those who couldn't learn it would definitely not be promoted.

The third is archery.

Li Jing asked all the old brothers to learn archery this time.

The reason for this is that once the musket fails during use, throwing away the musket and picking up a bow and arrow can be used for remote suppression.

Li Jing's subordinates are too small, and if he wants to minimize the loss, he must find a way to avoid close combat.

The last thing is to test the kung fu of weapons and fists.

Of course, the last item is what these people are best at right now.

It is conceivable that this competition will stimulate newcomers.

Especially in the final close combat competition, it was really punching to the flesh, and the knife was wounded.

Regardless of the fact that wooden weapons were used during the competition, no one will be merciless. A wooden knife can still hurt people if they are cut on the body, but it will not be fatal.

This assessment took three days to complete.

Mainly because of the artillery, the artillery has to cool down after a while when it is in use.And no matter how carefully they are used, if each of 500 people fires one cannon, the two squatting tiger squatting cannons will definitely be scrapped in the end.

There are only two squat cannons on the mountain, how could Li Jing let people use them until they are scrapped.

Therefore, in assessing the use of artillery, it was just a matter of following the procedure.

After the assessment, a total of more than 300 people were promoted, and the results were quite satisfactory.

After promoting all the brothers, Gao Qi began to encourage all the brothers to compete with the master.

Hearing this idea, everyone cheered and jumped up.

Because everyone just heard how powerful the big boss is, but not many people actually saw the big boss make a move.

Li Jing also knew that it was Gao Qi who asked him to show his skills in front of the new and old brothers, so as to calm these people down, so he agreed without hesitation.

But how to show it is a bit of a headache.

Even Li Jing is not sure that he can hit the firecracker, so what if he can hit it accurately?

The only thing left to compare is bows and arrows and knives or fists.

It doesn't mean much more than bows and arrows. The bows used by Li Jing are not comparable to the bows used by these people at all.

The shooting distance of the compound bow can reach more than 200 steps, and the ordinary bow and arrow can't reach this distance at all.

As for the sword and gun, Li Jing was not sure.

This is because Li Jing used all the means of killing people. This was to show his skills, not to take people's lives. If his subordinates were injured, it would lose the meaning of showing.But without such means, he might really be unable to defeat the group of people under him.

The only thing that can be compared is fists and feet.

After thinking for a while, Li Jing smiled and said, "Well, let's not compare with others, but with fists and kicks, so as not to hurt others. Well, Chen Dahu, Liu Erlen, Zhou Huhu, Zhang Chu, and Wang Ermao, this time it's you five again. One of you won the first few places in the melee competition, I think the five of you will go together."

"Wow!" Everyone clamored when they heard it.

They have all seen the kung fu of these five people, and many people have suffered under their hands. They did not expect Li Jing to ask the five of them to do it together.

"Okay, I've wanted to compete with my elder brother for a long time, so I'll come first." Liu Er said flicking his fist in a daze.

Li Jing smiled and said, "You yourself? I'm afraid not, let's come together."

Liu Erleng shook his head hastily: "Five beat one, so what kind of a hero is that? If the eldest brother loses, he still has an excuse."

Li Jing shook his head helplessly, Liu Er Leng is a stubborn person, and he won't turn back if he doesn't suffer.

"That's fine, you come first." Li Jing said with a smile.

As he said that, Li Jing walked into the training ground. Just as Li Jing had tied up his clothes and was about to roll up his sleeves, he heard Liu Er let out a roar and punched him.

Li Jing slightly took a step back, and suddenly stretched out his left hand to grab Liu Erlen's wrist, and moved backwards. At the same time, his body turned slightly, and went straight into Liu Erlen's arms. With his right arm slightly bent, an elbow hammer hit Liu Erlen's ribs hard department.

Liu Er was taken aback by this heavy blow, and his abdomen naturally shrank back, opening a small space away from Li Jing's body, and all follow-up actions were interrupted.

Li Jing then turned his right hand backwards, grabbed Liu Erleng's belt, and with a force from his waist, Liu Erleng fell hard to the ground.

"Oh my God!"

Seeing that Liu Er was beaten to the ground by Li Jing in a blink of an eye, everyone was startled, and many of them burst into exclamation.

But the old brothers from Jinniuling laughed together.

Because Li Jing's movement of beating Liu Erleng just now was exactly the same as Li Jing's movement of defeating him when he went up the mountain last year. These old brothers were deeply impressed by this movement.

"Liu Er was stunned, I always said that you don't have a brain, and you used your fists in a competition with your elder brother. Isn't that just for nothing?" Chen Dahu said with a curl of his lips.

Liu Er was stunned for a long time before he got up, heard Chen Dahu's teasing, and said angrily: "What's wrong with using fists, my fists are much stronger and faster than before, who would have thought that big brother is faster than me?" , still have strength."

Chen Dahu curled his lips and didn't argue with him, but just waved to Zhou Huhu and others, which naturally meant to go together.

"Liu Erling, can you still do it? If you can't do it, go down, if you can do it, then go on." Zhou Huhu said as he stepped forward.

"Bah, if I can't do it, you can't do it. I still don't believe in this kind of strength. This time we all fight together, I don't believe that we can't beat the boss." Liu Er said angrily.

"Well, let's surround him together." Chen Dahu shouted.

During the conversation, five people surrounded Li Jingtuan.

"Do it!" Chen Dahu shouted and punched.

The remaining four also punched and kicked.
