Of course Lin Haoming knew why Feng Yuzhi received the blessings of Tianyin. Her cousin was the city magistrate of Tianman Mansion. As long as her cousin spoke, no one would dare to disobey her. She didn't even need to speak. I'm afraid Feng Yuzhi's husband would know it himself. What to do.
Lin Haoming could see that Feng Yuzhi's expression declined when he talked about the blessings he received from Tianyin. It was obvious that she did not like her husband, and she was also a poor woman.
At this time, Lin Haoming finally understood why Feng Yuzhi was suddenly so concerned about the canal. She wanted to fight for her own hope and future.
Feng Yuzhi didn't say anything else and left. Apparently she knew she had said enough.
Lin Haoming couldn't calm down because of the matter of Tianyin and Merit, but he couldn't tell anyone else about it. Even Shu Siyue wouldn't tell her this secret.
Two days later, Feng Yuzhi summoned all Taoist Realm officials in Chigang City and announced in public that Lin Haoming would take over the task of wiping out the Red Flame Army.
Although some news had spread out in two days, many people were still surprised when it was actually announced.
While everyone was surprised, there didn't seem to be any violent reactions between the three people who were the initiators, executors and seemingly victims of the incident, and they even appeared to be extremely polite on the surface.
Gao Liangsheng even made an agreement with Lin Haoming in public that three days later, they would go to the city guard's school field together to select the five thousand soldiers.
Three days later, when Lin Haoming came to the City Guards Campus, there were eight thousand City Guards, all wearing armor, standing in the campus. The swords and guns in their hands were particularly dazzling under the sunlight. At least at first glance, These eight thousand soldiers are really good.
Gao Liangsheng, also wearing armor, stood in front of the eight thousand soldiers. Behind him, there were four generals also wearing armor.
"Prisoner Lin Cheng, you came on time!" Facing Lin Haoming, Gao Liangsheng had no usual politeness at all. He was as cold as the armor on his body.
"We agreed to pick people at this time, so naturally we can't be late!" Lin Haoming had a smile on his face, but his eyes had already glanced at the four generals.
The eight thousand city guards are actually divided into two parts, one is the patrol camp, and the other is the garrison camp. There are two patrol camps, both small camps, with only a thousand people, and the garrison camps are both large camps, also two. But there were six thousand men and horses.
The four generals behind Gao Liangsheng are the battalion commanders of these four battalions, namely Yang Fan, Xie Qihao, Zhang Yunpeng and Yue Guangsong.
Yang Fan and Xie Qihao are both battalion commanders of the city patrol battalion, while Zhang Yunpeng and Yue Guangsong are the battalion commanders of the garrison battalion. Among them, Yue Guangsong is also the commander of the City Defense Department of Chigang City, and the other three are deputy commanders.
None of these four people had the surname Gao, but Lin Haoming knew that at least one of the wives and concubines of these four people was a woman from the Gao family, and the city guards were actually the Gao family's army.
Lin Haoming did not come alone. In addition to him, he specially brought Mei Sheng with him. As for bringing him, there was only one thing to do, which was to register the selected people in the register.
"Principal Lin Cheng, do you plan to select someone directly, or do you plan to look at the Erlangs I have trained and then select?" Gao Liangsheng asked.
The city guards are all members of the Gao family, and the Gao family will naturally put all their efforts into training, so if there is a real performance, it goes without saying that it will definitely be satisfying.
Lin Haoming simply waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll pick someone directly."
"I wonder how Judge Lin Cheng plans to choose?" Gao Liangsheng asked.
"Let everyone line up and pass in front of me. Whichever one I click on will come out!" Lin Haoming said without hesitation.
"Okay, Guangsong, go and give the order!" After hearing this, Gao Liangsheng did not embarrass Lin Haoming, but seemed very cooperative.
Yue Guangsong immediately ran to the city guards and loudly ordered: "All soldiers listen to the order, and the left column is the leader. They walk around the school grounds in unison. The selected ones line up in the center of the school grounds!"
After hearing Yue Guangsong's order, these soldiers did not hesitate at all, and walked neatly in rows in accordance with Yue Guangsong's order.
Lin Haoming stood on the command platform, and soon the people in the first row had arrived. Lin Haoming did not hesitate at all, pointing at the people passing by and saying: "You get out of the queue...you get out of the queue... "
Lin Haoming selects people very quickly. He only takes one look at the people who pass by before he starts selecting people.
Gao Liangsheng discovered that most of the people selected by Lin Haoming had military positions. Almost none of the pawn commanders were selected, and most of the corps commanders were also selected.
"Sir, what do you mean, Lord City Magistrate, planning to pick out all those with military positions?" Others also noticed this, and Yue Guangsong even reminded him in a low voice.
Gao Liangsheng didn't care, but said calmly: "Don't be anxious!"
It didn’t take long for eight thousand people to walk once. After more than half an hour, everyone had finished walking once and started walking the second time.
But at this time, Lin Haoming walked back to the command platform and said: "Okay, let them stop!"
"President Lin Cheng, you are not talking about selecting five thousand people. There are at most three thousand people here!" Yue Guangsong looked at the people lined up and judged the number of people at a glance.
Lin Haoming pointed to the people who were still walking in circles and said: "Isn't there five thousand people here? Five thousand people are needed for eight thousand people. Of course, we have to pick out the unnecessary ones."
Hearing what Lin Haoming said, Yue Guangsong didn't know what to say, but looking at the remaining people, the one with the highest military rank was only the corps sergeant. He couldn't help but frown and said, "These are all soldiers!"
"Am I not here to select soldiers?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Since Judge Lin has made his choice, we will naturally be satisfied with Master City Judge!" Gao Liangsheng stopped the others from speaking and looked at Lin Haoming, feeling increasingly uneasy about him.
Lin Haoming asked Mei Sheng to register the remaining people in the register, and then left directly without even saying hello to Gao Liangsheng. Lin Haoming also knew that because of this matter, the two sides were now on the verge of breaking up, and there was some superficial effort. No need to do more.
"Sir, what does Lin Haoming mean by this?" Yang Fan looked at Mei Sheng and others who were still busy, with an ugly expression on his face.
"He is afraid that the officers are all ours. It will be difficult to control him if he goes against him. Anyway, people from the garrison camp will come. Then we can just integrate these people into the garrison camp directly!" Xie Qihao seemed to see it clearly. .
"Absolutely. It seems that Judge Lin Cheng is sincerely trying to make things difficult for us! Does your Excellency need us to do anything?" Zhang Yunpeng asked.
"You don't have to do anything, just watch what he does!" Gao Liangsheng said.
"But……"
"No, Feng Yuzhi will definitely keep an eye on us in this matter. If he finds any excuse, he will exonerate Lin Haoming!" Gao Liangsheng said.
"Sir, Feng Chengshou has always been on the same page with us, so why is he suddenly trying to go against us through this matter?" Yang Fan asked in confusion.
"She didn't go against us, she just didn't want to miss this credit. I underestimated her before!" Gao Liangsheng shook his head, ignored the others, and left.
