Chapter 20 Green-Faced Beast Yang Zhi

"Master Dutong, these are the soldiers who have completed ten rounds." Wei Cheng said with a respectful salute.

When Lin Chen heard this, his eyes fell on the figures lying on the ground in a mess on the training ground.

Compared with the three hundred soldiers before, there are now less than two hundred left.

but.

Lin Chen looked at the few soldiers standing in the training ground. One of them, a big man with a square forehead and a green face, was quite eye-catching.

Everyone else was gasping for air, but he stood straight.

oh?

This made Lin Chen interested.

"That green-faced man, come forward!"

Upon hearing this, the green-faced man immediately stepped forward and half-knelt down to salute.

"Who are you? What is your position?"

The sixth sense noticed that the person in front of him was full of blood, which made Lin Chen raise his eyebrows slightly.

In Li Tang's army, soldiers can also practice a military formation technique.

Different from the secrets of martial arts sects, these techniques can be used to form military formations under the guidance of generals, gathering blood and energy into one body!

Coerced by this kind of military power, even first-rate warriors have to retreat from the edge.

The green-faced man in front of him practiced this kind of military formation technique, and the vigor he had polished from his body was enough to rival a second-rate warrior.

"The villain Yang Zhi currently holds the position of chief!"

Yang Zhi?

After hearing the other party's respectful reply, a strange look flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

Looking at the other person's appearance, there is a high probability that it is him.

Lin Chen was already accustomed to this mixed martial arts world, and characters who shouldn't appear appeared from time to time.

The so-called chief refers to the lowest-level military attache who commands twenty people.

Lin Chen was quite surprised when he thought of this.

With Yang Zhi's military training, it would be enough to serve as the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.

Yang Zhi, who seemed to notice that this ghost-faced general was quite puzzled, quickly explained, his words full of resentment.

turn out to be.

This ancestor Yang Zhi was also a martial artist from the previous dynasty.

However, Li Tang destroyed the previous dynasty, and Yang Zhi's family was already in decline before he was born.

Although the Yang family is lonely, as the saying goes, there are still a few nails in a broken ship.

The Yang family still has the military formation skills passed down from their ancestors.

Therefore, Yang Zhi practiced spiritual practice since he was a child, and became a well-known hero in the village when he became an adult.

"Thanks to the compliments from my neighbors, I gave the little man the name Green-Faced Beast."

With praise from the villagers, Yang Zhi was recruited by the county to serve as a team coach.

Relying on his family's martial arts skills, Yang Zhi suppressed bandits and was transferred to the capital after making great achievements.

Originally, according to the approval from the Ministry of War, Yang Zhi was supposed to come to the Wucheng Military and Horse Division as the deputy commander, and he was a seventh-grade military attache.

"But I didn't expect that my predecessor Zhang Dutong fell in love with my family's treasured sword. After asking for it several times to no avail, he found an excuse and demoted the villain to a senior position."

After listening to Yang Zhi's life story, Lin Chen was amazed.

"What about the sword?"

Lin Chen became interested.

When Yang Zhi heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his green and rough face.

"It was taken away by Zhang Dutong."

have to.

Not only was he unable to keep his official position, but his sword was also gone.

"Yang Zhi!"

Lin Chen suddenly spoke, causing everyone in the audience to tremble.

"The villain is here!"

"The commander of this capital sees that you are a talented person, but now there is a vacancy in command of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division."

When Yang Zhi heard what Lin Chen said, he lowered his head, but could not hide the excitement on his face.

Is it possible? ?

However.

Yang Zhi didn't hear Lin Chen's words to promote him, but instead changed the subject.

"How can you convince the public if you are promoted without merit?"

When Yang Zhi heard this, his expression darkened.

"For the time being, I will let you be the acting general and be responsible for training these soldiers!"

Lin Chen's voice became colder as he looked at these soldiers who were dying after only running five kilometers.

"Thank you, Lord Dutong!"

Yang Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, but he did not forget to thank Lin Chen for his promotion.

It was obvious what the Lord Tutong meant.

As long as you train these soldiers well, this generation of hundred generals can become a real hundred generals!

If it catches the eye of the other party, it can also be used to cling to the Lord Tutong.

Among the heroes in Liangshan, Yang Zhi is considered to be well versed in officialdom and knows how to get into trouble, but it's a pity that he is not very lucky.

Lin Chen still valued this well-known hero.

"WEI Cheng."

"The humble position is here."

"Go and post the recruitment documents now."

Lin Chen said in a calm tone.

Nowadays, there is a serious shortage of soldiers in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and the vacancies must be filled first.

"I understand the humble position."

certainly.

Wei Cheng and other guards of the Prince's Palace were appointed by Lin Chen as commanders, deputy commanders and other important positions.

After some operations, Lin Chen finally controlled the five-city military division.

Thinking of the money and food that Li Zhao snatched away, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"Right now, let's recruit three thousand soldiers!"

"To be selected as a soldier, you must be able to run two miles in a quarter of an hour, lift a twenty-pound stone lock ten times, and be over six feet tall!"

Lin Chen said his recruitment requirements.

With such strict conditions, the salary must be increased.

He knows one thing very well, that is, if you want a horse to run, you must feed it concentrate.

"The selected candidates will be given five measures of rough grain, two thousand copper coins as settling-in allowance, and subsequent monthly military pay of one to two thousand copper coins, three feet of coarse cloth, and three measures of coarse grain!"

This price is considered a high salary in today's capital.

Because the capital was affected by the disaster, five measures of rough grain, or fifty pounds of miscellaneous grains, was worth a thousand copper coins.

Not to mention two thousand copper coins in cash!

At the same time, the monthly military pay can be paid in full, and the soldiers can support themselves and their family of three.

Plus, cloth and grain are both hard currencies, and they can be used as money in ancient times.

In terms of conversion, the monthly military pay is about two taels of silver.

"This..."

When Wei Cheng heard this, he was surprised.

After all, he was a guard in the Prince's Mansion, and he only earned five taels of silver a month.

"Huh?"

Lin Chen looked at Wei Cheng, and his tone was slightly heavier.

Facing the ghost face on Lin Chen's face, Wei Cheng felt cold in his heart and hurried to make arrangements.

Soon.

The recruitment documents of the Five Cities Military Department were posted in the capital.

Indeed.

After seeing such generous conditions, many men who made a living in the capital came to the recruitment office.

Even though there were negative rumors that the Five Cities Military Department had attacked Wuyou Cave and most of them were killed and injured.

There were still countless people who came to respond.

Especially when these people saw that the recruiting clerk really issued the resettlement fee as written in the document.

More and more people signed up.

Besides, the standard set by Lin Chen can be easily completed as long as they are not too weak.

In just two days.

Wucheng Bingma Division recruited more than 4,000 soldiers!

A little more than the 3,000 originally planned by Lin Chen.

There are really too many people who responded to the recruitment.

In this case, Lin Chen also lifted the limit on the number of people and recruited everyone first.

Ding! Ding!

The golden bell of the training ground rang loudly.

"Quick! Gather at the training ground!"

These soldiers who had just joined Wucheng Bingma Division got up as if by instinct, put on their clothes and rushed outside.

After the soldiers gathered, Lin Chen took a look at the time used.

Not bad.

It took less than a quarter of an hour.

It seems that his training during this period was not in vain!
