Wang Hua was originally a county soldier in Pingche County, Nanhe Prefecture, Chu State. His monthly military pay was thirty cents - but he was often deducted, so it was considered good to get ten cents.
However, the county soldiers of the Chu State were not full-time people. They only had to do two drills a month on weekdays, and they were responsible for two meals on the day of the drill. They could do whatever they liked without delaying farm work, and they could also wear a layer of official status. Because of his skin, he is not extorted or bullied by the gangsters, so it is considered a good job.

There are advantages and disadvantages. When recruiting in the county, county soldiers must respond to orders and mobilize to fight, usually against nearby thieves.
There is no danger in this kind of mission - everyone goes over there, and before they get there, the bandits who have already received the news have fled, leaving a few shabby thatched houses for the officers and soldiers to set fire to, and that's it.
In this way, the officers and soldiers get credit, the bandits do not suffer much loss, and everyone is happy.
The so-called million men in armor are nothing more than this - they are all full-time regular soldiers. Even if the Chu country is as rich as that, they cannot afford to support them.
But now Wang Hua is not a county soldier, but because he has grown strong and is one of the first people to express his willingness to follow Lu Wu to the south of the Yangtze River, he was selected into the Long Spear Battalion of the Lu Kingdom's Honor Guard and is known as a soldier.
The word "soldier" did not exist before, because "shi" is the title of a nobleman. How could an ordinary Qiu Ba use the word "shi" casually?
——Usually, only soldiers and soldiers are related to soldiers, and other soldiers have to be called soldiers.
But things are different under Lu Wu's command. The status of soldiers has been greatly improved. As long as they are listed on the regular army roster, they can become soldiers.
Of course, Lu Wu also has reserve soldiers who are not engaged in the main battle, and those people are not qualified to become soldiers.
The families of registered soldiers are exempted from labor and can cultivate five acres of military land. The military pay is two taels of silver per month, equivalent to 2,300 cash. Even if they retire, they will be assigned a position by the Discharge Department, and they can at least be a foreman and a police officer.
The first few groups of people who followed the country's leader are now rich even if they retire.
If you can die in battle, you will make a lot of money.
As long as he didn't run away from the battle, even if he died in battle without killing anyone, the lowest military merit level would be enough to protect his children, and a great meritorious service would be enough to protect three generations.
During the period of shelter, minor children (under the age of thirteen) can attend official school for free, and adult men can be given priority to join the army. Those with excellent grades in official school can even serve as minor officials.
In addition, he was also given ten acres of military land and no taxes for twenty years - this alone was enough to support an ordinary family.
Moreover, this land is registered under the supervision of the Zhechong Department. Within thirty years, this land cannot be sold or deprived of it for any reason except for the heinous crimes.
Thirty years later, if someone attempts to seize military land, descendants can directly report it to the Zhechong Division, and if it is found out, it will be a death penalty.
If one of the protected children joins the army and dies in battle, the descendants can be directly promoted to the nobility!
To be honest, Wang Hua's biggest regret is that he did not catch up with the good time, otherwise he would die on the battlefield. If his son can gain more energy and find a good opportunity to die on the battlefield after joining the army, wouldn't his grandson be able to become a noble? ?
These days, the gap between common people and nobles is as big as heaven and earth. The concept of family inheritance and honoring ancestors is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If there is a chance to become a noble, there are many people who are willing to take the initiative to die.
With such benefits hanging in front of them, Wang Hua and others can be said to have risked their lives during training. They stood in a military posture when they were told to stand in a military posture, and walked in a queue when they were told to walk in a queue. Not to mention not moving for half an hour, even for two hours. No one cried out in pain - some people fainted on the spot due to excessive fatigue, some were weak and were eliminated, but no one gave up voluntarily.
Under the temptation of the prospect of becoming a noble, everyone is really risking their lives and doing their best. Although it may not be applicable to battle formations, it is already amazing enough to be used in military parades.
As for why the war horses can march so neatly, that is the credit of the Black God.
No one knows how the Black God taught these war horses to obey the rules. Anyway, the Black God just roared and neighed, and after spending a day with the horses, he trained the other horses to be obedient. Although the generals were surprised, they just thought that the Black God God is the king of horses, and it is natural that he can subdue other horses.
After the five thousand soldiers performed martial arts, they were divided into ten battalions and each stood in position.
Under the martial arts viewing platform, the soldiers were arrayed in formation like a mountain, towering and motionless.
On the martial arts viewing platform, Qiu Tong remained silent, but his eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light overflowed from his eyes, his breath fluctuated like a tide, and the air within a foot around him became as cold as frost, like Suddenly, we entered the coldest winter. Such a sudden change made the envoys around us avoid taking a few steps.
There was chaos on the viewing platform.
However, most of the envoys from various countries were accompanied by experts. Seeing Qiu Tong's strange phenomena, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"What a terrifying Binghan Qi! With such strong internal Qi, the physique of this Concubine Yuan is unparalleled in the world."
"Probably not. At least that Uncle Lu must be stronger. I heard that Concubine Yuan's martial arts were all passed down by that person. Concubine Yuan's physique is so tyrannical -"
"No wonder that one can kill the martial arts master."
Before breaking through the Xiantian, the inner family's true energy is all transformed from one's own energy and blood. Therefore, the purity of the true energy depends on the individual's hard work and skill, but the richness of the true energy depends on whether one's own constitution supports it.
"What is she going to do?" Wu Wang Ketu asked in a low voice.
It's a military parade, what's up with Concubine Yuan?
The guard behind Ke Tu took a step forward and explained in a low voice: "This Concubine Yuan has found an opportunity and is using military skills to break through the innate!"
"But why did she choose to break through at this time?" Wu Wang Ketu asked.
The guards behind him were speechless.
For a warrior, breaking through the innate world is such a big deal, and the opportunity is fleeting, so other things must be put aside first.
However, this did not make sense to King Wu, because everyone was not pursuing the same thing at all.
The two of them just exchanged a few words, but they saw Qiu Tong's Qi shrinking around him, but he easily passed the innate threshold.
In Lu Wu's lineage, it is extremely difficult to advance, and even Lu Wu can't think of any good way.
Lu Wu relied on his extremely powerful Yuan Shen and the nearly unlimited supply of the underworld's evil spirit, the Jiuyou Xuan Gang, to pass this level easily.
But when it comes to Qiutong and others, there is no such good thing.
Although Jiuyou Ninghai Zhenqi is extremely nourishing to the body, when traced to the root cause, it is essentially the evil spirit of the underworld from Jiuyou. It is almost impossible to find a match for one's own heaven and earth vitality in the human world - even if Qiutong Zhenqi is strong enough to last 24 hours a day. If it is released externally, it will probably not be able to connect the vitality of heaven and earth and advance to the innate level.
——Heishen advanced to Xiantian easily because it was not connected to the vitality of the outside world at all, but to Lu Wu’s almost endless Nine Netherworld Sea Qi, so it was naturally easy to advance.
But Black God is Lu Wu's mount, so he can naturally do this. Qiu Tong has to stand alone and cannot always follow Lu Wu, but he cannot use this method.
Qiu Tong was eager to break through his innateness. In addition to asking Lu Wu for advice, he also read many martial arts secret books. Now that Lu Wu was so powerful, it was not difficult to get a few martial arts secret books that could break through his innate nature.
Qiu Tong has tried many times to connect the vitality of heaven and earth and break through the innate method without success. Qiu Tong has also tried the innate method of military strategists to break through with the strength of soldiers in the army, but it has also failed.
But today is different.
Now she has a different identity. She is the concubine of the Lu Kingdom. She is responsible for receiving envoys from various countries on behalf of Lu Wu. She has trained these five thousand troops single-handedly. The first person whom the military attaches importance to is her, Qiu Tong, and then Lu Wu.
Therefore, after today's martial arts performance, it was the time when her military spirit was in full swing. She, Qiu Tong, stood on the stage to review the troops. This was the focus of her military spirit, which allowed her to use her military spirit to break through barriers and advance to the level of military genius.
It's just that the military strategist's innate talent is not like the orthodox martial arts innate talent, which can connect the vitality of heaven and earth at all times. He has to be in the army and rely on military energy to exert his 100% power.
However, military strategists can innately refine the body with military energy and stimulate the further growth of qi and blood, and their physical strength is much stronger than ordinary martial arts innates.
