Zhu Cilang's selection of the Tiger Army cannot be described as strict, and it is simply a pervert.

The first level is 100-mile cross-country. It is longer than the 42-kilometer marathon. The long-distance marathon is a very popular long-distance race event in the world. The distance is 26 miles and 385 yards, which is equivalent to 42.195 kilometers. There are also sayings that it is 42.193 kilometers.

The whole marathon was only more than 84 miles, and the first level of selection set by Zhu Cilang was 100 miles. Moreover, there were restrictions on this one hundred miles.

There is no time limit, half of the competition will be eliminated directly in the first round. That is to say, as long as half of the people reach the finish line, all the remaining half will be eliminated.

This first level is the appetizer for the entire selection. In Zhu Cilang's words, the first level is simply a selection.

Joining the Hu Ben Army is so generous. It is not limited to the head, no occupation, or even age. The entire Beijing city was shocked, and anyone who can move wants to participate in the selection of the Hu Ben Army.

Therefore, eight thousand people came in the first batch of selection alone. And this was only the first batch, and there were dozens of batches behind it.

Zhan Yunpeng is a pig slaughter. The pork tastes not very delicious in this era, and the smell of mutton is too strong. Rich people are disdainful of eating it, while those without money cannot afford it. In addition, pigs and Zhu are homophonic. Although the imperial court no longer prohibits eating pork, the pork business is not very easy to do.

The main reason is that they were born in troubled times, there were very few people who could afford to eat pork.

So, Zhan Yunpeng heard that the court was recruiting the Hu Ben Army, and he didn't understand what the hereditary was, but he knew that he was rewarded with 100 acres of fat land. Where can I find such a good thing? If I don't join the army, wouldn't I be a fool?

Zhan Yunpeng was the first to sign up, and he also came to participate in this round of tests. For Zhan Yunpeng, he felt no pressure.

Linghu Yunlong is a hard-working person, doing some shoulder-to-shoulder jobs for people in Tokyo. Linghu Yunlong doesn't want to come. He is very strong and can eat eight steamed buns in one meal. The problem is that everyone's life is not easy. Although he does some physical work for the homes of some wealthy businessmen or high-ranking officials, this is not a common job.

Sometimes, it is inevitable to go hungry without a business. The big guy Linghu Yunlong is eating alone in Beijing and the whole family is not hungry. There are many people like him. Someone told him why not join the army. Linghu Yunlong scoffed: The little food in the army is not enough to fill his teeth.

In fact, Linghu Yunlong was a soldier. He entered the guard camp under Shenshu Camp. As a result, he was expelled from the army because he was too edible. He was expelled from the army because he was too edible. He was probably the first person to be a soldier.

Fortunately, people told him again that the Huben Camp was different. After going there, they had enough food, clothing and management, and the military salary was doubled. Importantly, the court would have fattened hundreds of acres of land last time.

For Linghu Yunlong, a bachelor, the number of fat land that is more than 100 acres is second, and it is enough to have enough food, clothing and care. So, like Zhan Yunpeng, he participated in the first batch of selections.

Zhu Cilang is young, but he is skilled in archery and horse racing. He took Meng Fanchao and several people from the East Palace Guards to ride horses, monitoring the competition.

Linghu Yunlong was 1.85 meters tall, and he was at the level of giants in the Ming Dynasty. Zhan Yunpeng was taller than him, and Zhan Yunpeng was 1.9 meters tall.

In this game, the two of them looked particularly eye-catching in the crowd. Even Zhu Cixuan couldn't help but notice these two people.

The rules were set by Zhu Ciyang, and others could only abide by the rules set by the crown prince. More than 8,000 people were divided into rows on the official road, and no one knew which starting position was the fastest. People just used their most comfortable postures to wait for the crown prince's orders.

Taking the musket as the number, Zhu Cilang pulled out the short musket given to him by Tang Ruowang from his waist, and shone in the sky with a "bang!" shot. Everyone whined and ran away desperately.

Running wildly at the beginning is something that a fool can do. Running a hundred miles away is the most important thing to save energy. Zhan Yunpeng, who killed pigs, was not in a hurry, just followed everyone slowly.

Linghu Yunlong, who is a coolie, knows the key to saving physical strength. The two of them didn't exert much force at the beginning. They had to retain their physical strength and stay for the final sprint.

"Look, these two silly big guys, have grown white and they actually fell behind from the beginning."

"That's right, these two people don't want to enter the Hu Ben Camp. Look at them, are they walking so slowly?"

Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong ignored the ridicule of others. The two were still slow and slow, and it was obvious that they had fallen behind everyone for a long distance.

However, most of the people running ahead slowed down significantly after sprinting for a while. Those smart people were not in a hurry at the beginning because this was not a short-distance race, but long-distance race compared to endurance. Exhausting physical strength at the beginning was something that a fool could do.

Zhu Cilang was leisurely, and he rode his horse behind everyone. He watched the group of people running in front of him. After only less than three miles away, the people in front began to pant, and some people were lying on the ground so tired that they refused to move. Looking back, the people behind him were about to catch up, so they had to grit their teeth and get up and continue running.

There was no special test in this competition, and it was just the beginning. However, is this really the case?

After running for seven or eight miles, everyone was exhausted. Their speed was significantly slower, and some people even walked at the same speed as usual.

At this time, everyone was surprised to find that two people were taking big steps in front of the team, still not rushing. It was Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong. The two of them were not very fast, and they actually left everyone far behind.

Of course, there are also strong people, some people start to exert force. Then a group of people exert force, and then one or two people continue to surpass Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong.

Seeing that he was overtaken, Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong were not in a hurry. They were still running at their own pace, and they were almost at the same speed.

The first level is very boring, except running and running. Everyone is thrown away by these two tall men and chased after them, and then chased after them.

Until, someone finally discovered the trick. So, someone learned to learn Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong, and at their own pace, even if they were surpassed, they were still slow.

Twenty miles, thirty miles, forty miles, the road ahead is still long. After running fifty miles, not to mention half of them were eliminated, only one-third of the eight thousand people followed.

This made Zhu Cilang, who was riding on the horse, very annoyed and couldn't help but curse: "Baste! A bunch of waste!"
