Qin Official

"This black man is just a soldier who is serving for the first time. At most he has some courage. What can he do!?"

Seeing that Heifu was about to be appointed as the commander-in-chief, General Binbai walked over and questioned.

Chen Baijiang always disagreed with Bin Baijiang, so he rolled his eyes and said: "Bin Baijiang, the law only says that the posts of soldiers, corvees, and military officials must be held by those with nobility, but it doesn't matter how many times it is. Serve. I think Heifu is not only a man who has been praised by the official temple, but also has some skills and is quite popular among the public. What's wrong with letting him do anything?"

General Bin Bai retorted: "Just now General Chen Bai said that the method of military training is to sit up and stand up, walk and stop, move left and right, move forward and back, divide and join, tie and untie, every change. habit."

He pointed at the black man and said disdainfully: "Does this man understand the above? In my opinion, the people in this remote area may not even be able to tell the difference between left and right!"

"There is no distinction between left and right" is a saying made by city dwellers in this era to ridicule farmers who rarely leave the countryside throughout their lives. Of course, it’s not that the left and right are indistinguishable, but that you have to think about the left and the right before you know which way it is. Normally speaking, you just “move to the side” and rarely involve the relationship between left and right.

If you find it unbelievable, just think back to how difficult it was to tell the difference between left and right in the first physical education class when you were a child, and you will understand. This kind of hesitation is undoubtedly fatal on the battlefield, so distinguishing left and right is the basic course of soldier training.

Hei Fu was not angry, and only answered with a smile after Bin Baijiang finished speaking.

"Although the villain is stupid, he can still distinguish between left and right..."

He bowed to the two hundred generals and said with a simple face: "Because I am different from others since I was a child. I am left-handed. I hold chopsticks with my left hand and wield a sickle with my left hand, so I am deeply impressed by the distinction between left and right. Yesterday I was interrogated in the official temple. At that time, I also told the fact that I was fighting the thief with a sword in my left hand, which proved my innocence."

Heifu secretly glanced at Chen Baijiang, and saw that his eyes were full of encouragement, so he boldly continued: "On the other hand, the Huyang Pavilion Chief, because he couldn't tell the right from the left, falsely accused me of hitting him with my right hand, and his testimony was full of errors. …”

"Hahaha, Bin Baijiang, what this black man said seems to make sense." Chen Baijiang was amused by these harsh words. He and Bin Baijiang had a deep grudge, and anything that made his opponent unhappy could be done. Chen Baijiang was delighted.

"you!"

This was undoubtedly poking at General Bin Bai's pain. General Bin Bai was furious, but he couldn't find any reason to punish Hei Fu, so he could only scold him: "Even if you can distinguish left and right, you can also teach me skillfully how to distinguish between actions, stops, actions, and actions." What’s wrong with everyone?”

"I dare to tell you that my late father once taught me all the above when I was at home. He served many times, fought in battles, and served as a corps commander..." Heifu rolled his eyes and offered up the dead old man. Dad, blame him for everything you know how to do.

"Besides, even if there are some things I don't know, there is an old soldier in this army who can help me." He pointed at the uncle who had nothing to do with him. He was so frightened that the uncle quickly stepped out of the line and bowed, his goatee trembling slightly. , the heart also trembles.

Chen Baijiang nodded: "In this case, there is nothing wrong with letting Hei Fu become Guishisheng. Bin Baijiang, what do you think?"

Bin Baijiang said with a sullen face: "It is Chen Baijiang's duty to train more soldiers. How can I say anything? It's just that Chen Baijiang must think carefully when appointing candidates. After ten days of training, , the two county lieutenants will come to the school to inspect the school in person, allowing everyone to compete, assess the order of the ranks, and judge the merits."

He sneered: "If Guishi gets a palace by then, don't forget, General Chen Bai, that it was you who advocated for Heifu to grow up today! I'm afraid he will be embarrassed in front of the county right lieutenant." !”

It turns out that, similar to the performance appraisal of various enterprises in later generations, Qin also liked to play appraisal the most.

For example, at the end of a year, the performance of county officials must be compared and assessed, and the superior ones will be promoted and the inferior ones demoted.

Even at the township and district level, cattle competitions are held every April, July, October and the first month of the year. Based on the fatness and strength of the cattle raised in each area, the "best" (excellent) and "dian" (poor) are judged, with rewards for excellence and punishment for bad reviews.

Don't think that it's okay if it's neither good nor bad. Officials in the countryside will measure the waist circumference of the cattle to see if they are thinner than last year. If so, the cattle owners will also be punished. If the cow you raise happens to fall in love during those few days and doesn't want to eat or drink, you will be in trouble.

In short, assessment is a set of evaluation methods that Qin State likes very much. Without comparison, how can there be enthusiasm for competition? Without the motivation to compete, how could Great Qin dominate the world? Cows have to be drawn out to compete, let alone humans. Naturally, there are also assessments for this more advanced training, which is called the "Ten Days Competition."

Compared to what? Of course, the competition is to see whose queue is neat and orderly!

"This..." So when Bin Baijiang mentioned this matter, Chen Baijiang also showed a trace of hesitation.

Hei Fu saw his hesitation and said again: "Please rest assured, two hundred generals, Hei Fu will never let Guishi down."

"If you are at the bottom of the palace, I will naturally fine you two armors! I'm afraid the reward you received from the official temple is not enough!" Bin Baijiang threatened again.

He originally wanted Hei Fu to retreat when he saw the difficulty, but unexpectedly, Hei Fu raised his head again and said confidently: "The little guy hasn't finished speaking yet. In the big competition ten days later, not only will I not know how to be the best, but I will also Let Guishi be the best and rank first!"

Everyone was silent. After a while, the laughter of General Binbai echoed in the school grounds:

"Hahahaha, you are really good at joking. If Guishi can win the championship, I will do three hundred jumps and three hundred quyuns on this school field!"

"It's a deal!"

He was joking, but Hei Fu took it seriously and said to him: "If Guishi can't win the championship, I will go around Anlu County and jump around Yuequyun!"

…

"Brother Heifu, are you really sure you will win the first place in the ten-day competition?"

When it came to "eating time", that is, breakfast time, everyone sat in their own areas and ate the millet rice distributed by the county soldiers. Ji Ying squatted down next to Heifu with his earthen bowl and raised his doubts. .

"Yes." Hei Fu said concisely and focused on the rough food in the bowl. The amount of exercise will be relatively heavy in the next few days, and he must absorb every grain of food.

"But you are only serving for the first time. How can you compete with other veterans of the army..." Ji Ying plucked the rice grains in the bowl, a little confused. If he was fighting alone, he believed in Heifu's ability. , but this involves everyone.

"Last month in Yunmengze Huyang Pavilion, I encountered a thief for the first time in my life; yesterday in the county jail, it was also the first time I faced someone in court..." Heifu put down the two small wooden sticks in his hands and said, He looked at Ji Ying and said, "Don't you believe me?"

"Of course I believe it!" Ji Ying said without hesitation. After the past few days, he admired Hei Fu and already followed his lead.

"Then don't be suspicious, just listen to me, by the way..." Heifu said to the silent robes on the side: "Help me convince them!"

So, after finishing the meal and sending Ji Ying away, Hei Fu stood up first, bowed to everyone who had been silent and said, "Hei Fu is being reckless."

"Isn't that too reckless!" The Pingren who came from the county town and liked to stay in bed for a long time now spit out the words he had been holding back for a long time:

"Who are the Hundred Generals? Who are we? How can we argue with them? Not to mention winning the first place in the ten-day competition. I have participated in three service and three trainings. I have never won the best, but I have two. I almost won the palace this time..."

Uncle Chao also sighed and said: "What's the matter? It's just that we are all ordinary soldiers. We have no choice but to come to serve. We just want to spend this month in peace. For us, winning the first prize in the competition is the best. I don’t even dare to think about it, as long as I don’t get punished..."

Everyone nodded, but Dongmen Bao snorted coldly: "They are all rats without ambition! A man is a true man. If you don't do something, you have to fight for the first place."

In this way, everyone's attitude towards this matter became clear. Except for Dongmen Leopard, the other people either opposed it or did not express their attitude and just followed the crowd.

However, Heifu just listened quietly and then smiled and said: "It is true that I was impulsive in arguing with the Hundred Generals, but competing for the first place for Benshi in the ten-day competition is no joke!"

"No joke?"

"You haven't given up yet?"

Chao Bo and Ping Ping looked at each other, but Dongmen Leopard was overjoyed and stood up and said: "That's great! I am willing to work with Hei Fu to win the top prize in the competition, so that the generals will have nothing to say, and they will be far away from Yuequ on the school field." Yun, after this incident, I will become famous in the county!"

Li Yue Qu Yun, to put it bluntly, is a squat frog jump. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the army used this method to train or punish soldiers. To be honest, Hei Fu was really looking forward to seeing General Bin Bai eating in the school yard in embarrassment. Gray.

But in this matter, it is useless for them to advocate it alone as a pair of chiefs and corps commanders. What Heifu wants is for everyone to actively participate.

Just at this time, Ji Ying, who had deliberately gone around on Hei Fu's orders, came back and happily told everyone the good news.

"Two or three sons!"

Ji Ying's face was full of smiles, as if he had received great news: "I went to inquire about it. Anyone who wins first place in the ten-day competition will receive a reward!"

"Ji Ying, please tell me, what is the reward?"

As soon as they heard that there was a reward, everyone who had little interest immediately pricked up their ears.

Ji Ying pretended to be mysterious and asked them to come closer before whispering: "If we can win the first prize, everyone in Quanshi will be exempted from having to serve again next year!"
