Wang Deng replied seriously: "I haven't even tattooed yet, how can I divide the personal soldiers of the army? I will talk about it after the entire army recruits tattoos."

"I forgot if you don't say this," Zheng Yunming instructed Wang Deng: "Don't rush to tattoo the soldiers after recruiting later. If you concentrate the soldiers, I have something to say."

For the entire Jinghu Lake, the 5,000 personnel is not a large number, but every applicant has to go through tedious things such as physical examination, elimination of diseases, and practice martial arts. It took a full day to barely meet the standard of 5,000.

The newly-entered soldiers in the camp were bustling in the recruitment field under the sunset, fighting and laughing at each other without taking the loud scolding of the officers seriously.

Wang Deng, who climbed to the station, frowned and took the long whip from Dutou, and slashed dozens of times in the air. This was the effective method of silence in the Song Dynasty. After dozens of crisp whip sounds, the crowd gradually calmed down, and a pair of curious eyes looked at the station.

Zheng Yunming, the commander of Jinghu Control, was appointed as the chief manager of the military farming field in Zhenghu. He was covered in armor and walked slowly to the stage with a sword in his hand. Ge Huai and Liu carried a heavy array sword behind him to guard him.

The audience was full of excitement and fresh expressions. Zheng Yunming knew how difficult it was to build these newcomers who had only one strength but had no knowledge of the battles in the army and became qualified soldiers. However, in the troubled times that were about to come, holding an elite soldier in his hand was the most favorable choice to save his life.

In order to achieve this goal, no matter how hard it is, Zheng Yunming's determination cannot be shaken.

"Now Japan will come to Ezhou to recruit soldiers under the order of the Jinghu Control Envoy!" Zheng Yunming tried his best to say: "The first thing he does is to give you the miners who have no work! The second is to prepare a team that can fight for Jinghu!"

"I know that the purpose of your army is to have a meal that can fill your stomach! Or save a little from the food to support your parents and benefit your wife and children! But I want to tell you that fighting is by no means a game for three-year-old children! If you want to survive from the Mongols, you have to go through hard work as hard as the Hell of the Infinite Remnant! You will feel that life is worse than death! You will regret why you will endure such torture for one food! This is the only thing I will do in the next few years, train you to become first-class warriors! Then lead you to cut off the heads of all the invaders who dare to invade! You are all ready for me!"

The recruits in the audience whispered, and many of them were originally watching Zheng Yunming lead the army, and they must be weak and bullied. Unexpectedly, Zheng Yunming came up and said a few tough words first, and someone immediately wanted to retreat.

"But I want to tell everyone! The benefit of being a soldier is not just to make a living. When you have excellent martial arts and smart strategies, you will find that whether you are promoted or rich is as simple as drinking water! The country never stings in rewarding soldiers who perform bravely on the battlefield! Do you know that when you entered Luo, the head of each Tatar was worth fifty knots! Those who can win the Tatar prince can get 100 acres of fertile land and a mansion in the capital! Anyone who is brave and fears death is not afraid of death.

, Those who can kill the enemy in front of the battle can be promoted to another official position as usual! The examples of outstanding performance in several battles and the title of Xiuwulang are everywhere in the army! You stupid men are destined to have no future to get a fame, but it doesn’t matter, in the future you can also be appointed as a son and shine your ancestors! What you rely on is to listen to the superiors and fight for the enemy bravely! Don’t you want to enshrine your tablets in the ancestral hall in the future and let thousands of generations of descendants spread your reputation!”

There was another roar of admiration in the crowd. For these civilians who were not smart enough and could not even write their own names, the army was indeed a shortcut to the success of the people. Among them, there were ambitious people who had planned their life dream of becoming a marquis and ministers on the Mongolian heads.

"It is not enough to be a marquis and generals! But I want to remind you three things: First of all, the biggest difference between the army and the world is that discipline is the first priority in the army! Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all rules! Advance, retreat, attack and defense are both rules! Those who dare to violate the military law, even if they are the confidant of the general, will be severely punished! Starting today, I will teach you the content of the seven bans and fifty-four kills every day, remember them well. If you dare to violate them, don't ask me to show me any mercy at that time!"

"Second, those who are in the army must not invade the people! I heard that there was an army stationed in this Ezhou City, claiming that "there is no demolition of houses when frozen to death, and no killing to starve to death." Zheng Yunming did not dare to expect that the conquering the Yuehou, but I must do the same as the Yuehou for invading the people! You must remember that fighting is not only for the emperor, but also for protecting the fellow villagers in Jinghu. If you find that you dare to disturb the people, you will be punished three times according to the military law!"

"Finally, I will remember that you are joining the army for the first time and you will probably not have a second chance in the future. Therefore, I hereby announce that this army has officially abolished the old rules of tattooing!"

"That's all! Disband!"

A burst of cheers broke out in the crowd. For the Five Dynasties, taming has become a bad rule for recruiting troops. The system of criminals as a military force has made the taming punishment, which was originally punished, a sign of soldier identity authentication. This is also one of the manifestations of the decline of the status of soldiers. It is precisely because the soldiers treat soldiers as prisoners without distinction that they have severe discrimination against the army, and even shouting out the words "good men are not in the army." For soldiers themselves, whether they are tattooed or tattooed, it is an insult to the person. Zheng Yunming abolished the taming method that has been implemented in the army for three hundred years, which makes people hate them very happy, which naturally makes the recruits who feel that their bodies and hair are inevitably humiliated.

"It's so confusing!" When stepping into the Central Army's tent, Yang Xu slapped his folding fan while complaining: "You think you're a tattoo for fun? After winning the battle, the soldiers who made the war money took off their military uniforms and fled back to the countryside to enjoy the blessings. Where can you find them? After losing the battle, the soldiers were thrown away their swords and guns, where can you find them? If you don't try the taunt, is there any way to maintain the military discipline?"

"Yang Xuan!" Wang Deng shouted in a low voice: "Don't be so rude to the Lord!"

"It's okay." Zheng Yunming waved his hand and said, "During the Han and Tang Dynasties, there were never a single method of taunting, and there were endless people in the army, nor did they have any examples of them being unable to control their soldiers."

"At that time, the main force was all good families in the border areas. How could it be the same as the soldiers we recruit now?" Yang Xuan said anxiously: "Now these anti-knife people don't need to be tattooed to determine their identities, and do not need to be disciplined by knives, axes, and sticks. How can they be allowed to march and camp obediently, not to say they are facing the Mongols."

"The court despises those who take swords and guns, those who take swords and guns look down on the people, and the people look down on the people who take swords and guns," Zheng Yunming shook his head helplessly: "Father, this is a deadlock. If officials, soldiers and people trust each other, one party must make concessions first. Soldiers and the people are naturally unfaithful compared to officials, so if you want to take this step, you can only set an example for the generals."

"It's useless to say the truth," Yang Xuan retorted without hesitation: "The most urgent task is to control these stupid people, otherwise the team will be too troubled and there will be no need to practice?"

Zheng Yunming pointed to the mountain-stacked list on the table: "We must learn to use this to manage people. What we recruit is neither a wanderer who lives in a place without a fixed place nor a rogue boy without a name or a nameless man. Every soldier has a clan, a village party, a parent, and a young family. The generals have mastered these. Isn't it much more useful to simply tattoo the face?"

"Father, tattooing is just a means to identify identities. What we need to do is not to engrave the identities of the soldiers on our faces." Zheng Yunming pointed to his heart: "It is to let them be engraved in their hearts."

Yang Xu snorted and stopped talking, but he could see that Zheng Yunming did not agree with this set of principles.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Just as Zheng Yunming was about to speak to break the silence, Ge Huai and Lu Xunzhi led the nine new Tulong Army generals in.

Nine young generals lined up in full spirit and bowed to Zheng Yunming.

"You can wear this outfit perfectly." Zheng Yunming kindly patted the young general with short beards and big eyes in the head: "Brother Zhu Sheng, when I followed you to assist the government in Taihu Lake to hunt down the water bandits, you said that you must command an army of 10,000 people in the future and fight for the court. Today you finally took the first step."

Zhu Sheng smiled and said, "This is all thanks to your blessings."

"Yes, if it weren't for such a chance that Zheng Shumou would be the general of the first army, how could we have the opportunity to lead troops as scholars?" The little man standing next to Zhu Sheng said with a smile.

"Chen Guang, didn't you say you wanted to go to the shogunate of the Huaixi Commander? Why did you fall into my account in a blink of an eye?" Zheng Yunming smiled and said, "If your teacher knows that you are unwilling to take the exam and are willing to lead troops, you will definitely throw the inkstone into anger."

Chen Guang spread his hands: "The teacher has known my ambition for a long time and will not be angry."

"What about you?" Zheng Yunming turned his face to the tall and thin man who was silent and silent: "Brother Peng Man, although we have never met before, Lord Zhao Shanxiang repeatedly praised you for your proficiency in martial arts and is known as the best archery technique in Jiangxi. Even the generals of Jiujiang Prefecture are not your opponents. Do you also give up your identity as a juren for your martial arts to do this kind of leadership of the army and fight?"

"Everyone is for the country, and there is no difference between fighting and being an official." Peng Man's answer was simple and powerful.

Zheng Yunming nodded and said to the other six people: "Lu Qingchun, He Dajie, Xiang Anguo, you three were personally recommended by Wei Heshan. Hu Yanyu, Ma Xiang, and Deng Fang were recommended by different senior scholars. No matter who your candidate is, I believe you must be suitable talents to lead troops."

"I believe that before you arrived in Ezhou, you have already read the military books of ancient sages well, and you have your own set of opinions on how to manage military formations. Zheng will not use a certain rigid rule to tie everyone up, because there is no fixed answer to using military forces to fight."

"I only have one piece of advice for everyone: that is, you must not stubbornly put the dogmas in the military books into actual military use. This is the most likely mistake that literati make to lead troops. Compared with military people, our advantage lies in the wisdom accumulated by predecessors, but the wisdom of predecessors deals with the reality of predecessors, and we have our reality. Before training elite troops to defeat the enemy, what you have to do is to integrate the words of the sages into the actual situation you face. I hope your military use can truly reflect the true essence of "Three Strategies", "Six Strategies" and "Twenty-Four Chapters of Military Art", rather than just plagiarism in accordance with the methods of the ancients. You are all smart and skillful figures, and it is not difficult to do this."

All the generals leaned over and said promise.
