"Run, attack!"

"Shoot the arrow!"

Rumble!

Bang bang bang bang!

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

On the battlefield of the three hills, there were all kinds of noisy sounds, the sound of muskets and cannons shooting, and various shouts of killing, and screams came one after another.

More than an hour has passed since the Qing army attacked.

During this more than an hour, Kong Youde, Geng Jingzhong, and Shang Kexi three traitors commanded the Qing infantry to carry out seven or eight rounds of attacks.

But they were unable to attack, and were all shot down by the dense firepower of the Ming army musketeers and suffered heavy casualties.

However, in the face of Huang Taiji's strict orders, Kong Youde and others didn't care about the lives of their soldiers. They just wanted to attack as soon as possible so as not to be punished by Huang Taiji.

"Everyone runs for me, who told you to stop and walk?"

"Look at the people around you, they are surpassing you, and if you fall, you will be eliminated and returned home, and you will be more expensive."

"If you want to stay, just rush forward."

Zhu Yong rode on a horse and shouted loudly at the exhausted and unable to run next to him.

The five-kilometer distance is definitely a big test for these recruits.

Anyway, two sticks of incense have passed (one stick of incense is calculated in ten minutes), and only a few dozen strong young men have run three laps.

And behind, because of the different physique and perseverance of each recruit, the five thousand recruits gradually distanced themselves.

Basically, most of the recruits were running to the second lap and their speed slowed down greatly and they were almost gone.

Perhaps because of the stimulation of Zhu Yong's words, the thought that if he was eliminated, he would not be able to stay and would not have the opportunity to enjoy the generous treatment here, which immediately injected motivation into many new recruits.

Some recruits gritted their teeth and continued to run. Every time they surpassed an opponent, they were extremely excited.

After ten incense sticks, when the 30000 recruits ran three laps and returned to the camp and collapsed on the ground, Peng Hao came to Zhu Yong and said, "Sir, the number of recruits who ran three laps has reached 3,000."

"Well, gather these three thousand new recruits together, eliminate all the new recruits behind them, and each of them is given ten copper coins, so let them go home."

Zhu Yong waved his hand and ordered Peng Hao.

"Yes, sir."

"Come, stop all the new recruits behind you and prevent them from entering the camp."

Peng Hao came to the camp gate and shouted to several Ming soldiers guarding the camp gate.

Immediately, these Ming soldiers sealed the entrance to the camp and refused to allow new recruits coming from behind to join the camp.

"The quota of three thousand is full, you have been eliminated."

Peng Hao shouted to the recruits coming from behind.

"Ah, no, sir, give us another chance, please."

"That's right, give us another chance."

Many new recruits who rushed over from behind begged Peng Hao, but Peng Hao was unmoved and resolutely implemented Zhu Yong's orders.

"Okay, you don't need to ask for it anymore. This is the rule set by the lord. If you fail the test, you will be eliminated.

However, sir will continue to recruit new recruits in the future. You can prepare for it when you go home and apply for the recruitment next time.

Lord, you are kind and will not let you go for a waste. Each of you comes to get ten copper coins and go home."

Immediately, Peng Hao asked the Ming soldiers behind him to issue ten copper coins to each of the eliminated two thousand new soldiers and dismissed them.

"Hey, why am I so useless? I haven't passed the test. I'm a monthly salary of fifteen or two!"

"Yes, such generous treatment, there is no place to find it.

After I go back, I will definitely exercise my health. When the adults recruit new recruits next time, I will still sign up and stay there."

"Yes, I plan so too. This time I won't work. I will definitely pass next time."

The two thousand new recruits who were eliminated were all extremely upset. They really couldn't bear to pay 15 taels of silver per month here!

Therefore, all of these eliminated recruits made up their minds that they would come again next time Zhu Yong recruited recruits.

"Look at you one by one, you just ran away so much that you would have exhausted you into this virtue."

Zhu Yong stood in the camp, looking at the recruits lying all over the ground in front of him, and said with disappointment.

"Everything is up for me, get up quickly."

Zhu Yong shouted again.

The small flag officials next to them, holding wooden sticks, came to beat the recruits lying on the ground a few times, and let them get up one by one.

Slap sex!

There was a constant sound in the camp, and there were all a small flag officer who used bamboo sticks or whips in his hand to suck the new recruits.

Zhu Yong does not oppose corporal punishment. This is the simplest and most rude way. Here, Zhu Yong has no time to deal with the human rights of the people of this era.

What Zhu Yong wanted was to train these ordinary young and strong farmers into well-trained soldiers in the shortest time.

The recruits who were all over the floor were beaten up by the small flag officials who acted as instructors around them, and the recruits lying all over the ground quickly got up one by one, struggling to form a row of hardships.

"Here, I want to congratulate you, these 3,000 of you have passed the test and become the first group of soldiers of your officer.

This official will also fulfill his promise and give you a reward, each with three taels of silver."

As he said that, Zhu Yong signaled to Peng Hao next to him, and then Peng Hao directed the Ming soldiers to carry the box of silver and handed out three taels of silver to the new recruits one by one.

"I really paid the money from the beginning!"

When the money was handed over, the soldiers really believed it. They held three taels of silver one by one, their faces were ecstatic, and they completely forgot the pain in their bodies.

"Sir, you are still generous. From now on, my royal city will follow you wholeheartedly."

"Yes, I'll do it with the adults."

Everyone shouted in unison, the effect of silver is still very good.

"Okay, as long as you follow me, obey orders, and train hard, I will not treat you badly.

But I also talked about ugly things in the front. If I become my soldier and take the official’s money, I have to obey my orders. If anyone dares to resist his orders, military law will deal with it.

In the next time, I will be responsible for your training.

Maintain the current formation, everyone is erecting their chests, putting their legs together, and sagging their hands, and pressing their thighs. Standing like this, no one is allowed to move around."

Zhu Yong made an attentive posture to imitate these recruits.

Standing in front of you is the first training Zhu Yong set for these recruits. In fact, standing upright is easier to learn.

But don’t underestimate this action. Anyone who has participated in military training still remembers the pain of standing attentive for a long time during military training.

Immediately, these new recruits imitated Zhu Yong and stood attentively.

"You stood up straight, straightened your chest and looked ahead."

"You, your arms clamp your body, how did you tell you?"

"And you, why are you stretching your neck forward?"

The first time these recruits who were standing at attention had all kinds of styles, and almost died of Zhu Yong. Zhu Yong inspected and corrected their standing postures one by one.

"Yes, just stand like this, everyone insists on a stick of incense."

After a while, Zhu Yong sat on the seat that Peng Hao had brought in, drank tea and said leisurely.

These recruits stood upright there one by one. At the beginning, some people didn't realize anything. Isn't it just a stick of incense? What's the difficulty?

But as time passed little by little, they gradually felt soreness in their waists and legs, and they were itchy in many parts of their bodies, but they did not dare to move around.

"Who told you to move?"

Slap!

Once someone moves around, he will be immediately discovered by the small flag officers supervising around him. He will be thrust over and the recruits in pain grinned, which scared others to no longer dare to move.

"Oh my god, why is it so uncomfortable?" Someone cried in his heart.

In particular, these recruits had just run five thousand meters not long ago and were already very tired. They didn't even have half an incense stick, so many people couldn't hold on.

"Stand up and stand up."

"What about you, let you stand up."

Many new recruits who could not hold on, fell down one after another, but were beaten by the ruthless little flag officers around them, making them stand up again.

"I've held on forever. If anyone can't hold on, I'll hand over the money I just awarded you back."
