Chapter 65 I Must Pass the Exam
(0065)
[Today's second update is here~~~~There are three updates, so stay tuned~~~ Please bookmark it, please recommend it~~~~]
The current Fushan Institute guard team only has one or two taels of silver per month, as well as various equipment and daily expenses, which require Zhang Zhun to pay out his own pocket. The pensions, disability fees, reward fees, etc. are all paid in the form of military fields. If you have no pressure and others are willing to accept it, is there any more appropriate method than this?
He implemented such a system and had such conditions. After several chaos, Shandong was already vast and sparsely populated, especially Dengzhou and Laizhou. The population was small and the large area of land was deserted. Just by scattering, hundreds of thousands or even millions of acres of land could be drawn out. In fact, the entire Shandong Peninsula was 66,000 square kilometers, with an area of 1,500 mu per square kilometer. In other words, it was a total of 100 million mu of land. Even if only 30% could be used as arable land, there were 30 million mu, which was enough for him to struggle. Moreover, not only 30% of the arable land could be used, forest land and mountain land could also be granted.
Sure enough, the six treatments announced by Zhang Zhun greatly stimulated the young people.
The Chinese people's land concern is to pay attention to it, especially in ancient times. Owning a few acres of their own land was the dream of most people, just like people who dream of owning their own houses today. The land of civil land is indeed good, but unfortunately it cannot be passed on to descendants. However, military land is different. Military land can be passed on to descendants, and it is not limited by the upper limit of 50 acres of civil land. Moreover, the land of the land does not have a 70-year limit. If you try your best to earn dozens of acres of military land for your descendants, I believe that future generations will definitely be grateful for forever.
"I must pass the assessment!"
"I must pass the assessment!"
"I must pass the assessment!"
All the young people present swear secretly.
After everyone's applause dispersed, Zhang Zhun announced the assessment method and procedures.
There are only two items of assessment.
The first test is running.
The route starts from Hongshitan, runs eastward, runs around Fushan City, and returns to Hongshitan again. Even if it is completed, the entire route is about twenty kilometers long, and most of the journey is sandy, which is quite difficult.
Compared with the Yangjiatun Guards, the young and middle-aged people who came to take the test today have improved their physical fitness. After all, the purchase price of 20 cents per kilogram of coarse salt has made many military families a little more relaxed in their economy, and they can occasionally have a full meal or two. Of course, it is impossible to eat every meal. Otherwise, everyone would not be so anxious about land.
Young people who are interested in joining the guard team are still somewhat confident in their physical fitness. Although twenty kilometers seem to be far away, they are actually just a round trip from Yangjiatun to Laoshan. It seems that when Yang Ruifeng and the others are picking up firewood, they will not carry the heavy firewood back and forth one day? So, it is no problem at all. The key is who can run in the front.
The second test item is weightlifting.
Around the training ground, there are various stone locks filled with thirty kilograms, fifty kilograms, eighty kilograms, and one hundred kilograms. The larger the lifting weight, the better the grades are. For the testers, this is not a problem. When Yang Ruifeng went to Laoshan to collect firewood, he could pick more than 150 kilograms. Although what we need to test now is not the strength of the shoulders, but the strength of the arms, the overall quality of the body will not be bad no matter where it is.
"The test begins!"
With Zhang Zhun's order, the test of the long-distance running event began first.
Nearly eight hundred young people set out eastward in a swarm.
In the first few hundred meters, everyone ran very fast. Most people actually had no experience in long-distance running, and just wanted to compete for the first place. After the front section, the team began to divide the distance. People with good health ran ahead and those with poor health had to follow behind for the time being. Fortunately, there were hundreds of people, and the scene was very spectacular. As long as they were not at the end, they would not appear lonely. Of course, some people were running and felt that it was too hard to support it, so they gave up regretfully.
At this time, you can clearly see that on the top of Fushan City, someone was quietly peeking at the movement outside. Of course, these people were the thousands, hundreds of households, general flags and other people in Fushan City, all of which were the targets that the guards were preparing to eliminate. Maybe Wang Shixin was also among them. But the people outside the city couldn't see clearly and had no telescopes.
Now, the power controlled by Zhang Zhun has surrounded Fushan City, and it is impossible for people in the city to escape. Because, in the north of Fushan City, there are at least two garrisons blocking them. It is very difficult for them to pass through these two garrisons, unless they want nothing and abandon everything, and flee without caring about their butts. Otherwise, once they are caught by the guards, it will be bad. Instead of leaving the city to be beaten, it is better to hold on in the city and wait for rescue. I believe this is also Wang Shixin's helpless move.
Seeing the bustling scene outside the city, Wang Shixin's mood can be imagined. His thousand households will be at the end of the near future. He is very clear about how many military households he has been infected with, and he is also very clear about Zhang Zhun's style of dealing with things. It is impossible for Zhang Zhun to let him go. He could even guess that after Zhang Zhun conquered Fushan City, he would definitely let go and let the angry people tear him apart.
Yes, Zhang Zhun will definitely do this.
"Yulin, what do you think of Wang Shixin now?" Liu Hang stood beside Zhang Zhun, looked at the shadows of people on the top of Fushan City, and said with interest with a smile.
He ran to Hongshitan to watch the flag-raising ceremony of the guards. At the same time, some details need to be communicated with Zhang Zhun. For example, the problem of Juntian was mainly for him to operate. He and Wang Mingyu and Hou Shanping already had a basic division of labor. Wang Mingyu was mainly responsible for the distribution of civilian fields, and Hou Shanping prefers to build private schools. After all, he still fantasizes about being able to pass the imperial examination. Even if he doesn't do it, he has to teach some proficient youths.
"Use money and beauties to buy me." Zhang Zhun said seriously.
Liu Hang nodded, then smiled, shook his head and said, "If I were Wang Shixin, run away now and don't want anything. As long as I can save my life, it will be a victory."
Zhang Zhun sneered slightly and said disapprovingly: "Are you willing to give up?"
Liu Hang said meaningfully: "I can't bear to let go, so I can only be buried with you."
Zhang Zhun said, "If I were him, let go and fight for me. If his musket team is not used, there will be no chance to use it."
Liu Hang shook his head and said, "I bet he doesn't have such courage."
Zhang Zhun nodded and agreed.
After the Black Panther was eliminated, the most elite power controlled by Wang Shixin was naturally the servants equipped with muskets. Now the guard also has muskets, and even cannons. Wang Shixin has no advantage over muskets. If he continues to waste this, the power of the guard will become stronger and stronger, but his own power will become smaller and smaller. The only way out is to sacrifice his might and fight the guards hard.
Of course, the premise is that he has the courage to work hard.
It was like the Ming army in Liaodong who kept hudding and beating, but the result was that the Tartars were getting stronger and stronger as the Ming army fought, and the Ming army became weaker and weaker, and finally the game was over. Although Yuan Chonghuan's five years of pacifying Liao Ce was a fool, but in terms of offensive spirit, the other generals were not as strong as Yuan Chonghuan. July was coming soon, and the Tartars were about to enter the pass for the second time. All the Ming army was huddled in the city, watching the Tartars burn and kill and looting, hoping that the Tartars would kill enough, rob enough, and burn enough, and they could leave quickly. If such a dynasty was not destroyed, it would be unreasonable.
Wang Mingyu and Hou Shanping were actually on the scene. They listened carefully to the two of them without saying a word. Because they were busy recording the names, Wang Mingyu didn't know many words and was so tired that he was sweating profusely. Originally, this work should have been done by Hou Shanping alone, but the enthusiasm of the young and middle-aged people in Fushan to join the army was beyond everyone's expectations. Hou Shanping was too busy at all, so he had to arrest Wang Mingyu as a strong man. At least he could recognize some words.
Liu Hang was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Actually, there is another reason why Wang Shixin dared not run away. Even if he ran out of Fushan City, he would still be beheaded in the end. Even Sun Yuanhua could not escape the fate of being beheaded, let alone a small thousand-household family?"
Zhang Zhun nodded silently.
Sun Yuanhua was beheaded, which was even more tragic than Yuan Chonghuan's counter-espionage plan.
The most scientific minister in the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly Xu Guangqi. Sun Yuanhua was Xu Guangqi's great master. He actively advocated scientific research and had profound attainments in artillery manufacturing. Sun Yuanhua was responsible for killing Nurhaci's cannon to death. After Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, Sun Yuanhua was transferred to the governor of Denglai and took in Kong Youde and others.
In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde launched a rebellion and made a mess in Shandong. Sun Yuanhua, as the governor of Denglai, worked hard to quell the rebellion, but unfortunately he was unable to do so. Kong Youde and others eventually surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty. Sun Yuanhua was then arrested and imprisoned, and finally executed. As an outstanding artillery manufacturing expert, Sun Yuanhua's death completely ruined the artillery research of the Ming Dynasty army. The Ming army's own weapon research stopped, but Huang Taiji obtained the red-clothed cannon from Kong Youde, and concentrated a large number of craftsmen to study and imitate. By the time the Qing army entered the pass, the Qing army's artillery was already very fierce.
Zhang Zhun was not interested in Chongzhen, which was not without reason. Killing all the few capable people under his command was Chongzhen's greatest ability. Since killing 255 "eunuch party", Chongzhen really liked killing people too much, and in the end no one could kill, so he had to kill himself.
Yes, it's a long way to go...
Soon after, the fastest young man had already appeared on the other end of Fushan City and was running towards Hongstone Beach panting. The twenty-kilometer journey was enough to exhaust half of the people. Now all those who could support them are good seedlings.
The one running in the front was Peng Bo.
His physical fitness is indeed good, so he takes the lead.
