Everyone was refreshed again.
Finally the key is reached.
Half Zhang, led by General Zhang Bu, sent a thousand men to attack Beishan Fort. The Beishan Fort is dilapidated and has few soldiers. How can we compete with him?
If you can't compete with him, it's better to take action. It would be meaningless to kill Jin Baihu.
In full view of everyone, Wu Nian took off the saber from his waist and placed it on the coffee table. In the tiger's eyes, there was a flash of light, and he sneered: "Ban Bianzhang is very strong, indeed very strong. But I judge that he is just bluffing this time."
At this point, the sneer on Wu Nian's face grew thicker and he said: "Half Zhang is from a scholarly family, not a real bandit. Some of them are officials in Chu State. If Zhang Bu here led his troops to fight a bloody battle in Beishan Fort , the news spread to Chu State. What will the court think?"
After a pause, Wu Nian continued: "If we take advantage of Ban Bian Zhang's power and escape, then we will play into Ban Bian Zhang's hands."
"Of course. The bluff will change. If we show weakness when defending the city, Ban Bian Zhang will quickly pounce on us and defeat us in a short time."
Only then did everyone wake up and slap their thighs, it was true.
They were all frightened by Ban Zhang's reputation, and their first thought was to run away.
But Ban Zhang is not a bandit. They are openly attacking Beishan Fort now, which is most likely a bluff.
But this bluff is also extremely dangerous.
If they show weakness, then Ban Bian Zhang may dare to attack.
Kill Wu Nian and leave.
Based on this judgment, it will be easier to handle. If half Zhang is strong, then Beishan Fort will be even stronger. If you dare to come up, I will crush your teeth.
As long as you are not afraid, there is a way.
If you're afraid, you're doomed.
Wu Nian raised his head and glanced at everyone. After they had finished digesting it, he said: "First. Issue an announcement and tell all the military households about this matter. I have considerable prestige and can make them believe it." I stand on the city to increase the power of Beishan Castle."
"Second. Starting from the hundred households, all officials are not allowed to deduct money and food from the soldiers. In addition, when replenishing the soldiers of each banner, they are not allowed to eat empty pay."
"Third. Let Li Yong lead the men to temporarily repair the cracks in the city wall with wood."
"Yes." Chen Jinshi and Xiao Qi were instantly possessed by the God of War, their courage returned, and they responded loudly.
At this time, they did not consider the interest issue of not deducting military rations and eating empty pay. They had to get over the difficulties first.
Under Wu Nian's coordination, this dilapidated 100-household office became a real 100-household office.
Needless to say, Li Yong was already responsible for repairing the city wall. There is nothing we can do now, so we can only temporarily erect wood and make emergency repairs to the city wall.
Anyway, the military households are very hard-working if they are paid wages.
Issuing an announcement requires Wu Nian's huge reputation.
The gentlemen responsible for doing these things in hundreds of households worked hard to write the notice. Some soldiers beat gongs and drums and posted notices on the designated bulletin boards in the 100-household residence, explaining to the military households what had happened.
Military households gathered in front of the bulletin board one by one, watching and discussing.
"Ban Bian Zhang is really bold. He actually dared to lead a thousand elite soldiers to attack the imperial guard post."
"Don't be afraid. We are not vegetarians. We are all military households. Who can't shoot an arrow? In addition, we are guarding the city wall. As long as we are not afraid of death, even a thousand elite soldiers on half sides cannot attack us."
"Yes. It's also mentioned above. Now the small banners of Baihu Station have begun to recruit soldiers, and the treatment will be preferential, and military rations will not be deducted. You see, there is also Wu Xiaoqi's guarantee. If it were someone else who was an official, I wouldn't believe it. But Wu Xiaoqi, he is famous for treating his soldiers well. The last time Jiang You died, he gave him thirty taels of silver. How many people wanted to squeeze into his Xiaoqi, but unfortunately they couldn't."
"That's right. With Wu Xiaoqi here, why are you afraid of being half-hearted? Let's go. Join the army. As long as the officials don't deduct military rations and don't let us farm. Who doesn't want to be a soldier? Being a soldier is nourishing."
Relying on Wu Nian's huge reputation, the military households thought about it and did it. They strode towards the military camp one after another.
The entire hundred households have a population of 2,000 to 3,000 people.
Men reach adulthood at the age of twenty.
The average life span of people in Liaodong is low, with fewer elderly people and more vigorous people. There were 700 to 800 young men, young men, and middle-aged men, and 80% of them signed up to join the army. This small military camp could not accommodate many people, and a long queue formed.
Not to mention that the army is approaching the city now.
This would have been unimaginable before.
But with the support of Wu Nian's huge reputation, everything fell into place.
In the hall of Baihusuo, everyone was refreshed and full of strength after hearing the news. We are a health center, so what are we afraid of?
Putting aside whether Ban Bianzhang was bluffing or not, with such great power, he would not be afraid even if it meant a bloody battle.
"Brother. This is all your prestige." Li Kun took a deep breath, raised his right hand towards Wu Nian and gave a thumbs up.
Wu Nian shook his head and said nothing.
This means that water can carry a boat and also capsize it.
As long as the officials are good to the people, the people will help the officials.
Those who have attained the truth will receive much help, while those who have lost the truth will receive little help.
"Come here. Go and call Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng in." Wu Nian raised his head and said to the guards outside the door.
"Yes." The soldier responded, turned around and went down.
Not long after, Zhang Sheng in armor and Wang Gui in a battle coat walked in, bowed to everyone, and then stood still.
Wu Nian looked up at Wang Gui and was very satisfied. This was the first old brother who followed him. Although he was frail and sick before, his body gradually became stronger after his life improved.
"You are responsible for recruiting soldiers. The best way is to run and select those with good physical strength. In addition, we don't want men who are three generations old. We don't want those who have fathers or brothers in the army."
Wu Nian said in a deep voice with the demeanor of a general.
"Yes." The two of them responded loudly, turned around and left.
There are scruples when it comes to a single inheritance for three generations. If a father, son or brother is in the army, one of them has to go home. This is an art of war that existed in ancient times.
Originally we had to eliminate the old and the weak, but in order to avoid turmoil, we forgot about it this time. Zhang Sheng and Wang Gui did a great job. It only took an hour to select the troops.
After Wu Nian heard the report, he immediately asked people to beat drums and mobilize troops.
The small bannermen went down first and led the ten soldiers of each banner to the school field to line up in order. At about the same time, Wu Nian, Li Kun, and Chen Jinshi arrived at the school grounds together, and climbed onto the stage to look ahead.
Wu Nian stood here and looked down, and couldn't help but think of a few months ago. When he stood below, he looked up at the scene of Jin Mancheng, Li Kun, and Cheng Gao.
It's only been a few months.
He was already standing on the stage, looking at the soldiers below.
Moreover, the audience is not crooked, but full of one hundred and ten people.
The nominal leader is Li Kun, but in reality he is the general.
What a small flag officer, he's just a soldier from the seventh rank.
The general flag is just like that.
Only these 100 households, commanding 112 troops, can be considered true military commanders.
Today is the beginning of my military service.
