"There are ninety-eight enemy soldiers in total. We have wiped out twenty-nine of them. How many enemy soldiers are there left?"
"Then...there are only ninety-eight people, why don't we kill them all?"
"Stop talking nonsense! How many people do you still have?"
"Ninety-eight... uh, twenty-nine..." Beads of sweat began to appear on the bandit's forehead, and his face gradually turned red.
I had never sweated so much when running in armor just now.
After groaning for a long time, he raised his head and his eyes were blood red: "Where are they? I'm going to fight them!"
The invigilator went up and put him to the ground with a neat back throw: "You're going to be eliminated!"
…
"Now I will demonstrate several semaphores to you. I will only perform them three times. You should remember them firmly."
After saying this, the invigilator demonstrated the three semaphores with a spear hanging with the order flag, telling the bandits the meaning of the semaphore.
"take note of it?"
"Remember it!" the bandit said, patting his chest.
The invigilator then made a semaphore: "What does this mean?"
"This face is invincible!"
Another two items were asked, and the bandit answered them correctly. The invigilator nodded with satisfaction: "Next question."
…
The assessments in the second and third parts are all randomly selected questions from Liu Chan's "question bank" wooden slips.
If you get six out of ten questions, you will be considered qualified.
The second part is arithmetic, which is actually nothing more than addition and subtraction.
After the battle, if I ask you to count the spoils or report the battle losses, you must be accurate, right?
The third part is an assessment of memory and understanding ability.
You must understand and remember the orders and mission objectives I gave. These are the most basic.
But even so, as many as fifty people were still eliminated.
And for these people, most of the reasons for being eliminated were due to magic.
If addition and subtraction exceed 20, they don't understand it.
Because they only have twenty fingers plus toes... Occasionally they are born with six fingers, but it is still not enough.
When they asked if they could borrow someone else's fingers and toes, they were ruthlessly rejected by the invigilator...
But not everyone is like this. For example, in the selection of the second and third parts, Hu Li got all twenty questions correct and passed the test perfectly.
At this time, he was receiving kindness from the invigilator.
"Okay, brother, I didn't realize that you have a talent. Apart from Li Junhou, you are the one with the best grades in our camp." The invigilator patted Hu Li on the shoulder.
Hu Li quickly laughed: "Master Jun, thank you, thank you."
"Hey, you passed the selection of Major General. From now on, we are all brothers, so there is no need to be born like this."
The two exchanged names and chatted quite congenially.
Liu Chan clapped his hands at this time, and the invigilators immediately gathered the bandits who had passed the selection.
"Everyone, first of all, congratulations on passing the selection. From today on, you are my soldiers."
The thoughtful Hu Li immediately knelt down on one knee: "Swear to be loyal to the Lord to the death!"
When others saw him, they quickly imitated him.
"Pledge to be loyal to the Lord to the death!"
"Don't be busy yet." Liu Chan smiled mysteriously, "I hope I can see you all here in ten days."
The bandits were all confused. What did the Lord mean by this?
But Liu Chan didn't say anything more. He gave Li Er a few instructions and left with his hands behind his back.
Nowadays, all matters, rules and regulations in the military camp, including training subjects, have been settled.
Liu Chan had nothing else to worry about except coming to teach the generals he appointed every day and "organizing activities" for the soldiers.
These new recruits don't need to be taken care of by themselves in the first ten days, Li Er will take care of them naturally.
…
Some are happy and some are sad. The bandits who have passed the selection are naturally happy, but those who have not passed are in despair.
"Alas...Now that we have arrived in Chengdu, Mr. Liu doesn't want us." A thin young man sighed repeatedly, "I can't even do my old job of robbery. How will I make a living from now on?"
A hunchbacked man next to him said, "Who can say otherwise? We are not familiar with the place. Even if we are forgiven for our past sins, we still don't have the ability to make a living... I'm afraid we have to be slaves to others."
"Why doesn't Mr. Liu just accept us as slaves? At least we won't be easily beaten to death by his men."
At this time, the reserve team leader who acted as the leader shouted from the front: "Don't talk too much! You will know when we get there."
Several people immediately shut up, but they were still worried.
Until they came to a small town in the west of the city.
This small town has its own three-meter rammed earth wall, and there are several reserve team members on duty at each of the east and west gates. It looks safer than Nan'an County...
Certainly on a much smaller scale.
And among them are yellow mud houses carved out of the same shape.
These houses are mainly made of yellow mud, supplemented by wood and thatch.
It is not as beautiful as the houses in Chengdu where stone and wood are the main body and the roof is covered with tiles.
But although it looks simple, it's actually not that bad when it's warm in winter and cool in summer.
And their biggest advantage...just like rammed earth city walls, they can be built quickly and save costs.
The young bandit who failed to be selected walked to the gate of the small town and saw three big characters engraved above: shanty town.
Of course they didn't know him. These bandits didn't even know the three characters "Zhongyi Hall" hanging in their village.
"go in."
Seeing the leader walking in, they had no choice but to follow in even though they were feeling uneasy.
After walking not far, people suddenly came out of the mud houses on both sides.
"The child's father, here, our family is here!"
"Dad, come and see the new house~"
The bandit is confused, home?
It’s my first time here, where is my home?
But what came out in front of him was clearly his family.
The leading soldier said loudly: "You will go and reunite with your families. If you don't have family members, follow me. I will assign you a house. In two moments, we will gather in the open space in the city!"
After saying that, he went on his own.
The confused bandits were each taken back, only to find out that their relatives had already been placed here, and each family was assigned a yellow mud house.
Although it is not big, it can always provide shelter from wind and rain.
There are even cooking utensils thoughtfully placed in each room.
These are all owned by Liu Chan, and the house is said to be loaned to them until they have money to move into their own house.
They were also given food rations per head for half a month.
The thin young man before looked at his wife and children in the house, and the food piled in the corner, his eyes were red, and he finally couldn't help but hugged his family and cried.
There is dissatisfaction with losing the election, but more of it is gratitude after feeling relieved.
He finally has a family and feels like a human being.
…
Two moments later, the bandits gathered in the open space in the city to listen to the leader's instructions.
"You have hands and feet, and you need to support yourself. The Major General treats you well. If you live idle and cause trouble, you will be severely punished!"
The bandits claimed so one after another.
Only then did they know that this place was called a shanty town.
“In the east of Chengdu, there is the Major General’s vineyard and winery; in the north of the city there are pens for raising pigs and chickens, all of which need to be taken care of by people, and all of them will be compensated to provide for your livelihood.
"Those who want to go can just go and sign up tomorrow morning with a name tag. Those who are unwilling or unable to do these jobs can also work as farm laborers to help others farm. You can go to the Chengdu city government office to inquire.
"If the women at home have free time, they can learn brocade weaving and silkworm rearing. They also need to register at the official office in the city. The Major General has already given instructions, and no one will make things difficult for you anywhere."
After the introduction, the team leader finally said: "The Major General has something to say: If you are diligent and abide by the law, you will have a chance to survive if I am with you. Let's disperse!"
The leader left, but the crowd still refused to disperse.
For a long time, they all knelt down to the east and knelt down spontaneously...
But the object of their worship, our eldest son Liu Chan, encountered a little trouble at this time.
As soon as Liu Chan entered the city, he was about to catch up with old friends and see if he could improve his favorability.
Not long after I walked, I heard a pretty female voice shouting: "Mr. Liu! Today we are not only fighting for victory, but also life and death!"
hiss……
That feeling of pain all over my body and head came back again.
