Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 98 Talk
Yang Chao himself lived in a single room with a desk.

It's not that Yang Chao wants to specialize, but because he lives with those soldiers, the soldiers will be very uncomfortable.

Yang Chao also has a lot of things to do alone, and it is not convenient to live with soldiers.

For example, a box placed on the desk contains more than 100 forms.

These forms were all drawn by Yang Chao, and they included names and military training content.

Simply put, this is a file, a file of every soldier.

Yang Chao tried to use this scientific method to manage the army.

Everyone has a separate profile sheet with their name, a brief background and training.

The training situation is divided into four levels: excellent, good, fair and poor!

'Excellent' is the best. At present, only [-]% of the soldiers have shown excellent performance in training, and [-]% of the soldiers are 'good'. Most of them are 'fair', which basically meets Yang Chao's requirements. ' is a failing grade, currently only four people are poor.

The eight officers were also classified by Yang Chao into the fourth class of excellent and poor. Zhao Kang was trained by Yang Chao as his confidant and as his deputy. At present, he is only good.

According to this file, Yang Chao talked with soldiers and officers in the army every now and then, while completing the file.

"Lu Mo!"

"To!"

Today Lu Mo was the first to be called in, walked up to Yang Chao's desk, stood on both feet with a slap, and gave a military salute at the same time, Lu Mo is one of the eight team leaders under Yang Chao now.

"grown ups!"

Yang Chao nodded.

"sit down."

Yang Chao pointed to the chair in front of the table.

Lu Mo sat down calmly, this kind of conversation was not once or twice, soldiers and officers were used to it.

"Your fourth child?"

Yang Chao took the file form and said, it was recorded that Lu Mo was the fourth eldest in the family, and of course he was from Xiaolingwei.

"Returning to the adults, there are two older brothers and two older sisters under the mark."

"Five brothers and sisters!"

Yang Chao was slightly amazed, and at the same time noted in the file that 'there are three men, not the only child'.

Lu Mo didn't hide it: "Returning to my lord, the bid is not a direct descendant, so I have to find a way out."

Yang Chao said: "Then you are now a soldier, are you willing to be honest?"

Lu Mo didn't speak for a long time, but suddenly looked up at Yang Chao, hesitating.

Yang Chao said, "Tell me the truth!"

Lu Mo nodded: "Going back to my lord, Biaoxia doesn't want to be a soldier, no good man wants to be a soldier."

Yang Chao suddenly said seriously: "Lu Mo. Who said that a good man should not be a soldier. Let me say that a good man must be a soldier. I know you don't believe it in your heart. But I still want to tell you that we are different soldiers, aren't we? A good man himself won’t ask for it.”

Lu Mo said softly: "All the bidders listen to the adults."

Yang Chao said: "I want to hear, if you don't serve as a soldier, what are you going to do?"

Lu Mo thought for a while and said, "The villain wants to study."

Lu Mo's answer made Yang Chao quite surprised. There are too few people studying in this era. For ordinary people, supporting their sons to study is like gambling. If they can get a grade in the exam, it is a gamble, and it is very profitable, but The chances of winning are too slim, and the candidates who pass the exam are always a child, and there are many people around.

"Why do you have this idea? Wait, you say you are a concubine? Is your mother?"

Yang Chao suddenly thought, if it is not a concubine, it is usually a concubine or a maidservant girl, so this Lu Mo is not a child of a small family. If he is the son of a rich family, how could he come out to serve as a soldier.

Lu Mo couldn't help lowering her head: "My mother is a concubine."

Lu Mo seemed deeply ashamed of his parentage.

Yang Chao sighed: "You can't decide what your background is, but what you can achieve depends on yourself."

At this time, Lu Mo raised his head and looked very firm: "Back to the adults, that's what the villain thinks. The villain has always wanted to get fame and fame, and give mother a life in the future."

After a scholar becomes an official, his family members will also rise with the tide. Officials from the first rank to the fifth rank are considered high-ranking officials. If they are clean officials or make meritorious deeds, the imperial court will issue a letter to reward themselves and their wives. Madam, the rank is the same as that of her husband, and officials from the sixth rank to the ninth rank will be rewarded with imperial orders, so it is called Mrs. Imperial Order.

Like Lu Mo, his mother is a concubine. If he becomes an official, makes meritorious deeds, and is ordered by the court, his mother's status will be greatly improved, at least not as he thought. If his father suddenly Therefore, the mistress has every right to sell her mother as a concubine.

Yang Chao was also incredulous about this nonsense system in the Ming Dynasty, that's how Liu Rushi was sold to the brothel.

Liu Rushi was once married to a scholar, Zhou Dengdao. The Zhou family was a famous family, a family of scholars and poets, but after Zhou Dengdao died, the mistress still sold Liu Rushi, a concubine, to a brothel. If Liu Rushi herself was not really talented, I'm afraid this life will be ruined.

This is obviously too heartless.

However, under normal circumstances, if the concubine has something to do, especially if she has a son, then she will not be sold, because her son has the right to inherit the property and will support her, so Lu Mo is completely out of his own reasons , wanting to wash away the shame of his concubine's son through the imperial examination, it seems that this is a person with strong self-esteem.

Yang Chao nodded and said, "Your idea is very good. But the military officer can also be ordered."

Yang Chao's general is always a seventh-rank military officer. If he makes contributions, his family will also be granted imperial titles.

Lu Mo nodded, but he obviously didn't have confidence. He knew all these things very well. Only seventh-rank military officers had imperial orders. Under Yang Chao, he can be promoted to general manager.

Yang Chao himself is the general manager. Unless Yang Chao can be promoted, Lu Mo has no hope.

And even if he can be promoted to general, he still needs to make contributions. These years, the Ming army has been defeated repeatedly. It would be good if he didn't die in battle.

Yang Chao knew that he couldn't convince Lu Mo, so he didn't bother, so he chatted again and got some other information.

The Lu family is engaged in making gardens. In the past, they had ten acres of land. The garden generally refers to growing vegetables, but the Lu family mainly grows flowers, which has a high added value, so the Lu family also has small assets.

Lu Mo's father's wife gave birth to two daughters in a row, but she didn't get pregnant for a few years, so she took a concubine cruelly, but after taking the concubine, the wife gave birth to two sons, and the concubine also gave him a baby. One Ding.

Because the family has a small amount of property, Lu Mo was also enlightened when he was a child. Unfortunately, he did not study for a few years, and his family was in decline. Renting and planting other people's land, he has to work in the field at a young age.

The mother is also often bullied by the big wife, who often threatens to sell his mother.

Later, when Yang Chao was recruiting soldiers, Lu Mo was sent to Yang Chao by his father under the persuasion of his two elder brothers and the mistress.

Lu Mo had been enlightened, which made Yang Chao quite happy. In this era, it is rarer to meet a scholar on the street than to meet a college student in later generations. Therefore, Yang Chao feels like he has hit a big luck. Now all the copywriting work in the army It's obviously unreasonable to do it all by yourself. It's okay when you have a hundred soldiers.

However, Lu Mo honestly admitted that he hadn't read a book for many years, and had already forgotten the few words he knew back then. Not sure, Yang Chao decided that it was time to help Lu Mo learn to read.

"Okay, you go out. Call Li Wuliu in!"

The conversation with Lu Mo ends here.

Li Wuliu is a big man with strength, but his reaction is a little slow. The last time he had a conflict with the team was this guy. He was from a military household of the left guard of the navy.

"Your grandfather had you at the age of 56, so your name is Li Wuliu, right?"

Yang Chao asked when he opened his mouth.

Li Wuliu: "Your Excellency has learned a lesson."

Yang Chao smiled and said, "I won't gossip anymore. What do you think of this place?"

Li Wuliu said: "I can eat enough food every day, and I can also eat meat. The villain didn't even dare to think about it before."

Yang Chao said: "Then I am very kind to you."

Li Wuliu said: "Adults are kind to villains."

Yang Chao continued: "To be honest, you have performed very well in training recently, and I intend to promote you to be the captain. But for the time being, I can only let you be a soldier. Do you know why?"

Li Wuliu said: "The villain knows. Because the villain is always messed up."

Li Wuliu expressed apology as he said that, this kid has a bad temper, which probably has something to do with his ancestral home in Shandong, Shandong Dahan, giving the impression that he has a hot temper.

"My lord, the villain doesn't want to fight with Wang Duzheng, but he is too bullying, and my father has never beaten me."

Yang Chao said: "I know, you have great strength, and you have practiced very well in assassination. You will learn to draw the bow and archery starting tomorrow. If you learn well by the end of the year, I will give you a team leader and give you back. If you get one tael of military pay, go back and show your father."

Li Wuliu hurriedly said: "My little man, thank you for your cultivation."

Yang Chao nodded: "Go out, and call Wang Pu in by the way."

After Wang Pu came in, Yang Chao told him that he planned to transfer Li Wuliu to practice bow and arrow.

At this time, Wang Pu was quite regretful, and begged Yang Chao not to take Li Wuliu away.

"Isn't this soldier disobedient? If I remember correctly, I have fought with you at least three times. I have suffered a lot, but I just can't control it."

Wang Pu said: "Yes, he is disobedient, but he is good at assassination."

Yang Chao couldn't help laughing secretly.

Since he started to let several teams compete, although the number of assassinations each soldier swings his arms every day has decreased, the effect has greatly improved, because everyone is very careful when assassinating, so the technology has grown rapidly.

This Li Wuliu probably has this kind of talent, and he is among the best among all the soldiers. He has assassinated a hundred times, and he has been able to hit the target at least ninety times.

However, Wang Pu's team has a few laggards. He almost fell to the bottom several times and was about to be fined to run laps. If Li Wuliu, a leading soldier, is taken away, he has a high chance of becoming the bottom .

Wang Pu was not afraid of punishment, but felt ashamed, which made Yang Chao most happy, because Yang Chao found that through the contest, he seemed to have mobilized the concept of honor and disgrace among the officers and soldiers, and they all wanted to win but not to admit defeat.

For this reason, Wang Pu even begged Yang Chao to stay with the assassins who fought against him again and again.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "Wang Duizheng, it's your soldier training, so I plan to take him away. This is your achievement, and I will remember it."

Yang Chao has already decided to take Li Wuliu away, so he can only comfort Wang Pu.
