Guocheng still did not meet his wish to visit the Supreme Court of the Ming Dynasty - Dali Temple. As soon as Li Changgeng was transferred to the prison of Dali Temple, he suddenly became ill and died after a few days. The case was left unresolved. The family members all thought that the sky was pitiful, and if the case was confirmed, they would be finished. He was really dead, and the whole family would be happy.

Wei Zhongxian was indeed trustworthy. The next day he sent a talented man, Ruan Dacheng, a famous treacherous minister of the Ming Dynasty. This year, he was a new Jinshi. It seems that Ruan Dacheng did not seem to be what history said. He only relied on Wei Zhongxian during the Tianqi period, but had long been secretly familiar with the poem. Guocheng certainly knew that he was a complete villain, but in Guocheng's eyes, gentlemen had the usage of gentlemen, and villains had the usage of villains. There were only leaders who could not use people, but no one could not use them. The saying "near gentlemen, far away from villains" was the view of a corrupt scholar. When Mengchangjun did not use "rooster crowing and dog thieves" and was long ago slaughtered by King Zhao of Qin.

After getting idle, Guocheng decided to recruit soldiers. Well, I won’t buy horses for now. Who can I ride a tall horse for? Guocheng asked after asking. There is a thousand-household office in the northwest of the capital, with many military surplus. The so-called military surplus is the children of military households. He is a professional soldier when he was born, but there is no need for so many soldiers in the military surplus, so he cannot get a formal military registration. Going there to recruit people, it should be possible to recruit a lot of people.

The roads in the Ming Dynasty were really for horses, not for cars. The car was shaking and bumpy. Guocheng and Zhu Youjian sat in the carriage for a long time, and their butts were almost half before they reached their destination. Those who accompanied them to recruit soldiers were Wang Chengen, Ruan Dacheng, Ke Qingqing, and of course more than fifty guards.

The Qianhu of the garrison was named Wu Tianmeng. He received a notice that His Royal Highness the Emperor was going to recruit soldiers from the Qianhu, and wanted to find a good background for these military officials, so he immediately ordered the young and strong military officials over 18 years old to wait for the Emperor to recruit soldiers.

After Guocheng's eyes swept over these strong military remnants, he shook his head in disappointment. He was too old and difficult to manage.

When Wu Tianmeng saw Guocheng, he shook his head and said angrily: "Are the military soldiers in our garrison not strong enough?"

Guocheng said: "Muscles are bulging and strong enough."

Wu Tianmeng said again: "Aren't the military man in our garrison brave enough?"

Guocheng said: "The eyes are firm and slightly murderous, and they are brave enough."

Wu Tianmeng said: "Then why did you shake your head?"

Guocheng said: "I'm too old."

Wu Tianming smiled at the sky and said, "The 18-year-old man is still old, so I, a thirty-year-old Qianhu, are useless."

Guocheng said: "This time I came to recruit 100 boys about twelve years old."

Wu Tian's eyes narrowed and he said angrily: "Do you want to recruit children for those old people in the capital? I'm sorry that thousands of families will not be with you."

Deputy Qianhu Feng Yu said: "Master Qianhu, the prince of the Kingdom is wearing a flying fish suit, and he said that he was recruiting Jinyiwei and would never do such a despicable thing. Please take a look at it and talk about it."

Wu Tian snorted heavily, stood aside, and stood by.

Guocheng asked the guards to bring out the examination equipment and set them one by one. The examination was divided into four levels, the first one passed, and the pass. The javelin was placed on the ground, and the javelin was not straight. After connecting the line, it was winding and twisted, just like a curved path, with only one foot in the middle for people to walk. The line of the javelin was decorated with silver bells, and when it was asked to pass, there was no ringtone.

Wu Qianhu whispered: "I'm not calling for a boy, even the silver bell has come out."

Feng Yu said: "I think it's interesting to see Lord Qianhu. The Jinyiwei needs such a clever figure when crossing the house through the wall."

The second level is to pass through the grass, and there are also a number of javelins inserted on the ground. The difference is that each pair of javelins is hung with iron wire more than half a foot above the ground, with some caltrops wrapped around the wire. The examiner crawled under the wire. Needless to say, if he doesn't climb well, he will be injured.

Feng Yu and Wu Qianhu looked at the second level and thoughtful.

The third level is the clairvoyance. A guard stood a distance of ten feet, showing several pictures in his hand, and asked the subjects to quickly say the patterns they saw.

Feng Yu smiled and said, "This is probably to prepare for the future training of archers."

Wu Qianhu said: "It's interesting. This is how the Tartars in the north started to train warriors since childhood."

The fourth level is to cast a letter of fame, asking you to catch a chicken or another animal, kill it, and apply the animal's blood on your face.

Feng Yu was shocked and said, "What kind of assessment is this? It's so disgusting."

Wu Qianhu said, "I think it's very good. We usually practice our bodies and rarely have the courage to practice our courage. When we first go into battle, we can only play 50% of the ten-day battle. This move will make the new recruits' courage bigger, and we won't be afraid to go into battle in the future."

The guards brought tables and chairs, Guocheng and Zhu Youjian sat under a big tree, waiting for the examiner to take the bait, uh, they came. There were many people watching, but few people were interested in seeing this strange four levels.

Finally, a bold young man asked, "I'll be the Jinyiwei here, do you care about food?"

Guocheng patted his forehead and smiled and said, "I made a mistake. Mr. Ruan, please write a water card, standing in front of the fourth pass. The water card says that the Jinyiwei recruited today, including food and accommodation, with a monthly fee of 1 tael of silver, an increase of 1 cent per year. But our Jinyiwei must use swords and guns, and the timid and afraid of death. The injured person will compensate 1 to 25 taels of silver depending on the severity of the circumstances, and arrange work. The deceased compensates for the 100 taels of silver at home. You can organize the text and write this meaning in a simple and easy-to-understand way."

Ruan Dacheng responded and first asked Wu Qianhu to borrow the water sign, but he did not mention the announcement.

Guocheng turned around and said to the young man, "As long as you are not afraid of death and can pass these four levels, you can eat enough food, and there is meat once every three days. What is your name? Do you want to try it?"

The young man said with his chest straight: "My name is Guoqi, my surname is Chen, I am not afraid of death, let me try it."

As he said that, the boy stood in front of the first level and walked in. The first level looked simple, but it was not easy. First, the line was too long, and second, the turning angle was too large, and the bell would ring if he accidentally rang. Chen Guoqi carefully passed through several turns, and at the exit, he accidentally rang a bell. Seeing that the bell was about to ring, Chen Guoqi grabbed the bell and grabbed the small hammer inside the bell, but the bell didn't ring. Chen Guoqi breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, no one would see it, but when he looked up, he saw Guocheng and Zhu Youjianzheng looking at his hands with bright eyes.

Chen Guoqi's face turned red, and he was about to say that he would do it again, but he heard Guocheng say, "The second level."

Chen Guoqi was overjoyed. He knew that he had passed the first level, so he hurried to the second level and leaned down. The boy was thin and the iron wire was half a foot high, which seemed to be easy to pass, but when he crawled, his hands and legs had to be arched, and his body would inevitably be raised. The iron caltrops were hung with a blood mark. He heard the sound of the torn clothes in his ears. When Chen Guoqi stood up, his back was already covered with blood.

Chen Guoqi gritted his teeth and said, "The third level."

"Son, can we not be this Jinyiwei?" A middle-aged woman cried among the onlookers.

Chen Guoqi shook his head, walked to the third level, and said to the guard holding the painting: "Let's start."

There was no television in the Ming Dynasty, military households did not like to read, and Chen Guoqi's eyesight was not harmed. He passed this level without any suspense.

Seeing the title of the fourth level, Chen Guoqi hesitated for a while, and finally stomped his feet and said to the middle-aged woman: "Mom, I'm sorry, I'll pay you a chicken after I've given the monthly money."

After saying that, he ran home, grabbed the old hen that lays eggs, chopped off the chicken's head with one knife, raised the chicken, and squirted his face.

After doing these things, he walked to Guocheng and asked, "Master Baihu, have I passed the test?"

Guocheng picked up a brush, wrote the three big words "Chen Guoqi" in the recruitment book in a straight manner, and handed them to him: "What do you think?"

After Wen Donglai's patient guidance, Guocheng's calligraphy has become much more beautiful, and he has successfully advanced from an ant to a turtle crawling.

Chen Guoqi said: "Sir, I don't know the words."

Guocheng thought, it seems that the recruits still have to carry out cultural courses. He sighed and said, "You have been admitted, go to His Royal Highness the Emperor."

Zhu Youjian lifted Chen Guoqi's clothes and applied them to his back with gold-chuang medicine. This was discussed by Guocheng and Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Youjian applied medicine to the injured recruits to win people's hearts.

Wu Tianmeng said: "If you don't investigate your identity, just give him 5 taels of silver. Are you not afraid that he will escape with the money?"

Guocheng said: "It's better to run. I think it's a good deal to test whether a soldier's loyalty is a 5 tael of silver."

Wu Tian nodded violently and said, "The Hundred Houses are indeed broad-minded. Chen Guoqi is indeed the military servant of our garrison. He is not an impostor and will not escape."

With someone taking the lead, many people will be able to handle the things that follow. In front of the four levels, the teenagers lined up and were tested one by one, and the result was naturally joy and sorrow.

When the sun sets west, 113 teenagers have been recruited. Guocheng put the brush in, and he has enough people. After all, he is only a hundred households and has only a limit of 100 people. It is impossible to recruit unlimitedly. Besides, this is just a trial and training force, and it is easier to manage less troops.

Wu Tian came over suddenly and twisted Nene and said, "I wonder if the Lord of the Kingdom can open a back door and put the dog in the Jinyiwei?"

After all, he cursed Guocheng at noon and now he has asked him for it. Wu Tianmeng felt a little embarrassed.

Guocheng agreed immediately: "Okay, no problem. Arrange him to stay in the children's playground at that time, which is both relaxed and pleasant."

Wu Tianmeng said: "No, I want the dog to live with everyone, train and fight together."

Guocheng raised his eyebrows: "Why is this?"

Wu Tianmeng said very solemnly: "From the words and deeds of the prince of the country, I can see that you are a person who does great things. If you follow you, you will have a future. I train the army in the garrison, hoping to go on the battlefield to gain fame, but I am afraid that there will be no future for you in the future. I hope my son can be better than me."

Guocheng smiled and said, "Are you willing to give up?"

Wu Tianming clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'd like to give up."

Guocheng said: "Then please."

Wu Tianmeng said: "What do you want?"

Guocheng said: "Please take the test."

Wu Tian suddenly turned around and shouted, "Gou'er, come and take the test."

Then Wu Tian turned around and introduced to Guocheng: "Young Master Guo, this is a little dog Wu Gouping."

A quirky boy ran over. The boy said angrily: "I said that he is not called Wu Gouping, but Wu Huping."

Guocheng laughed secretly when he heard Wu Tian’s sudden name and said, “I’ll be the master. As long as you pass these four levels, you will be called Wu Huping.”

Wu Gouping looked at Guocheng in confusion and said, "Does your words work? My father is a thousand households."

Wu Tian shouted fiercely: "Gou'er, don't talk nonsense. The Lord of the State is a hundred households in the Jinyiwei, and what he said will definitely work."

Wu Gouping said happily: "Haha, I can finally change my name."

As he said that, Wu Gouping rushed to the front of the first level, twisting and turning, and suddenly came out without even a bell. The second level was not done much. He climbed over with only his finger and abdominal power, and no iron caltrop was hooked. The third level was a bit difficult, because it was almost dark, but his eyes were amazing, and he finally passed without any danger. In the fourth level, Wu Gouping did not hesitate at all, and grabbed Wu Qianhu's favorite rooster, and slaughtered it with one knife, with blood on his face.

Guocheng said happily: "Wu Qianhu, His Highness the Emperor's Grandpa is happy to win a tiger general."
