"Can you use a spear?"

Xu Xing, the general of Weiwu Camp, looked at the thin Yang Bao and suspected that Yang Bao was lying.

Yang Bao is about 1.7 meters tall, dark and thin, and does not look very strong.

If Yang Bao knows some swordsmanship or swordsmanship, Xu Xing feels more believable, but a spear may not be able to do it.

As the name suggests, the spear is a long weapon, and the battle is basically with cavalry.

Yang Bao doesn't seem to be very powerful, and his horse may fall down as soon as he charges.

"Come here, give him a long spear. Let me see, General, how good this man is at shooting!"

"Here"

Xu Xing gave the order, and a soldier immediately sent a long spear.

Yang Bao stretched out his hand to take the spear and bowed to Xu Xing, the general in charge of recruiting troops.

"General, the common people are showing their disgrace!"

After Yang Bao said this, he flicked the spear in his hand and instantly pulled out several spear flowers, and then used a set of marksmanship.

After a set of marksmanship was completed, Yang Bao put away his gun and bowed to Xuzhou:

"General, can the civilians pass?"

Although Xuzhou is a staff general, he is mainly good at the Huangming rifle and does not know much about this cold weapon marksmanship.

I felt that Yang Bao’s marksmanship was pretty good, so he nodded and said:

"If he passes, he will be given a waist card. If he can pass the later assessment, the Crown Prince will give you thirty acres of the Imperial Manor's land!

In addition, military pay will be paid to you: field troops will receive three taels of silver a month, logistics supply troops will receive four taels of silver a month, and combat troops will receive five taels of silver a month.

As for how many taels of silver and military pay you can get in the future, it will depend on your personal ability. Go back and make preparations. We will gather at the Mighty Camp in three days!"

Since Zhu Cihong began to allocate land to his soldiers, he must set an example.

So first divide the land in his name, otherwise how can he convince others.

Now the land of Huangzhuang, plus the large amount of land seized from corrupt officials, is enough to support the recruitment of troops for the entire Weiwu Camp.

Yang Bao originally thought that the land distribution was a gimmick, an empty promise made by the Ming Dynasty in order to make the soldiers work hard.

Unexpectedly, not only would he be given land but also at least three taels of silver in military pay. Yang Bao was so excited that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Xing to thank him.

"Thank you General!"

Xu Xing pointed in the direction of the Forbidden City and said solemnly:

"Wrong, you don't need to thank me, the general. I am just an executor. You should thank the Crown Prince Chitose!"

When Yang Bao heard this, he immediately kowtowed in the direction of the general's finger and thanked him:

"Thank you to the Crown Prince, and thank you to His Majesty the Ming Emperor..."

Xu Xing nodded, and then handed Yang Bao a waist badge, which was a token of entry into the military camp.

Yang Bao took the army badge and ran all the way back to where they lived.

A shabby thatched house built with thatched earth walls.

Although it is said to be a thatched house, it is actually just a thatched shed. It can block the sun in summer, but has little effect in winter.

"Dad, brothers and sisters, I'm back..."

Opening the door curtain made of thatched grass, Yang Bao ducked into the thatched house.

Three pairs of eyes in the thatched house were looking at Yang Bao in surprise as he almost rushed into the house.

Father Yang Lin smiled and said:

"Son, why are you so happy? Could it be that you picked up a steamed bun?"

It was the best thing that Yang Lin could think of for his son to pick up steamed buns. They went to the porridge shed every day to get porridge. They had been eating porridge for two months and they really wanted to eat something filling.

Hearing his father say that he had picked up steamed buns, Yang Bao smiled awkwardly and said:

"Dad, there are hooligans everywhere in the capital where you can find steamed buns. You can't even see a bone. But my son has good news to tell you. Our family may soon be allocated thirty acres of land..."

Father Yang thought his son was fainting from hunger and talking nonsense, so he sighed and sat back down on a broken wooden stool.

However, younger brother Yang Yang and younger sister Yang Liu stepped forward and took their brother's hand and asked:

"Brother, will we be able to eat steamed buns and rice when we get the land? Our family will not go hungry in the future, right?"

Yang Bao patted his younger brother and sister's little heads and said with a smile:

"Yes, brother will still receive monthly salary from now on, so Yangyang and Niuniu will never go hungry again!"

"Okay, our family has land..."

Yangyang and Niuniu immediately clapped their hands happily, and then the brother and sister went out to play hand in hand, leaving only Yang Bao and his father Yang Lin in the room.

Seeing his brother and sister going out, Yang Bao walked to his father and sat on the ground and said:

"Dad, the Crown Prince's National Defense Army is recruiting troops. In order to provide food for you and your younger brothers and sisters, your son has signed up to join the army and will enter the Long Live Mountain for training in three days.

The recruiting general promised that from now on, his son will receive a salary ranging from three to five taels per month, and he will also be allocated thirty acres of land. From now on, you will take your younger brothers and sisters to work, and your son will go into battle to kill the enemy!"

Before Yang Bao finished speaking, Yang Linteng stood up:

"What? My son has joined the Crown Prince's National Guard Army, and will he be given land? It's really great..."

Yang Lin said this and suddenly sat down weakly:

"No, it's too dangerous to be a soldier. If something happens to you, how will you explain to your deceased mother? No, absolutely not..."

Yang Bao immediately knelt down in front of his father:

"Dad, my son has grown up. Our family cannot continue to live on porridge like this, otherwise someone will starve to death sooner or later. It is for the sake of my brother and sister to live a better life.

My son will never back down. He will join the army no matter what. This is the only way out for his son. If he gets a meritorious service and is promoted in the future, his family’s life will immediately improve. Please don’t stop his son..."

Yang Bao is only sixteen years old this year. Yang Lin looked at his son's determined expression and finally nodded:

"Well, now that my son has grown up, dad will no longer force you. You must behave well in the military camp and you must not embarrass the Yang family!"

"Thank you dad..."

While Weiwu Camp was recruiting troops, other armies began to recruit troops.

Almost at the same time, the imperial court announced the abolition of some useless guard posts in the Gyeonggi area and took back the land for the guard posts and redistributed them.

Guard soldiers can choose to continue joining the army, but they must pass the assessment of the National Defense Army.

Those who are unwilling to continue serving as soldiers and those who are under sixteen years old and over thirty-five years old.

The court would not let it go, and would provide travel expenses to those who were willing to go home, and allocate land to those who were unwilling to return to their hometown.

This decision was equivalent to a large bomb exploding, causing an earthquake in the capital instantly.

Officials with more than a hundred households in each guard station were all frightened, knowing that their land could not be saved.

The commander of the guard station wanted to resist, but he thought that the National Guard Army would crush the Jiannu.

The crown prince was even more murderous. For the sake of the safety of the family, no one dared to openly confront him.

Regarding these generals of the guard station, Zhu Cixiang did not drive them all away.

Each person of a hundred households will be left with fifty acres of land, and each of a thousand households and commanders will be left with almost one hundred acres of land, and the rest will belong to the imperial court.

With tens of thousands of acres of land, and military households cultivating it for them for free, these guards generals lived a very happy life.

When it was learned that the crown prince wanted to abolish the guard station, the generals and nobles of the guard station were mourned all over the place.

The commanders of various military posts immediately rushed to the capital to find someone to intercede.

Some nobles even gave gifts to civil servants, asking them to persuade the emperor to stop the heinous behavior of the prince.
