Chapter 371 Selecting the Guards (2)
Jiang Anyi's study is in the east wing, with two houses connected, the outer room is a study room and the inner room is a bedroom. Not long after Jiang Anyi came to Huazhou, there were not many furnishings in the study room. On the table was "Yunshuitan Talk", written by Mr. Fan, which was brought by Jiang Anyi from the capital. When he read "Yunshuitan Talk" with a utilitarian heart, he did not understand many of the subtle words in his book. Jiang Anyi was very idle in Fuluo County. When he rereaded this book, he realized that he had been shallow and had not read too many things. There were words hanging on the wall, "The Inscription on the Humble Room" written by Mr. Yu, and a set of "Nanshan Lectures" was placed in the bookcase, which was written by Mr. Wei Chaoruyu. Before Jiang Anyi finished reading at Zechang Academy, he bought a set of "Huazhou Geography" from the government office. The entire study room seemed very empty.
Xinfei loves incense, and the agarwood he chose is all the best incense. After living in the government office, Xinfei also placed a Boshan stove on the desk in Jiang Anyi Changdai's study. The incense emits a simple and distant fragrance in the furnace, floating in the air, which makes people feel as quiet as water and as calm as stone.
"Food cypress food in good water, and warm the spring of the Boshan furnace in the Yulou", Jiang Anyi recited the poem by Luo Fei, a hermit in the previous dynasty, and sat in a chair and drank tea alone, leaving his mind and fun.
"Brother", Jiang Anyong poked his head out of the door. Siyu just now, and Jiang Anyong was a little nervous, afraid that his brother would be angry, Shitou poked out from a corner of the window and peered carefully into the room.
The Zen realm that he had finally created was destroyed by these two boys. Jiang Anyi shouted angrily: "What are you looking at with a grimace? Why don't you get in for me?"
Seeing that his brother was not really angry, An Yong felt relieved and walked in with a smile on his face. He was holding his treasure wine gourd in his left hand and holding three wine cups in his right hand. Shi Tou was carrying a few oil paper bags in his hand, and he could smell the aroma of barbecue from a distance.
Jiang Anyi moved the book on the table, opened the greased paper in his hand, revealing the roasted lamb legs, beef jerky, sheep's face and beef liver. Jiang Anyong put down the wine cup, poured three glasses of wine, and said, "Brother, aren't you angry with Siyu."
"Sister Siyu has this temper. He is so kind that he is so kind. On the surface, he is unwilling to admit defeat." Shi Tou helped out.
Jiang Anyi couldn't help but shake her head when she thought of Siyu. This little girl has always regarded herself as a matchmaker for herself and Xinfei, and thought that Xinfei was helping her because she could marry her. Especially when Jiang Anyi went to Manchunyuan and was caught by her. Siyu felt that Jiang Anyi was sorry for her senior sister to go to such dirty places, and she had no good expression on Jiang Anyi. Later, Jiang Anyi married Dong'er first, and Siyu held a grudge for her senior sister, and became more and more disliked Jiang Anyi. When she saw Jiang Anyi, she always had to sarcastically say a few words.
Jiang Anyi proposed marriage for his younger brother, and Xiaocai Misiyu "extorted" ten gems as a betrothal gift. After getting married to An Yong, Siyu should have changed his words to Jiang Anyi "big brother", but this girl kept calling him "brother-in-law", which obviously the old "hate" has not disappeared.
"Forget it, I won't be as good as her." Jiang Anyi picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one depressed manner. Faced with the fine wine, Jiang Anyong and Shi Tou were unwilling to let it go, so they immediately drank the glass in front of the door.
"Brother, do you really have a way to select elite soldiers tomorrow? Do you want me to talk to you?" Jiang Anyong was obviously a little worried about his brother's bold words. If he messed up tomorrow, Siyu would definitely be sarcastic again. He was stuck in the middle and was in a dilemma.
Jiang Anyi picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, glared at his younger brother, and said, "Why, when did your brother brag?"
With a strong confidence in his words, Jiang Anyong smiled happily, hunting ropes to making bamboo fans, making crispy white jade, making knives, and making perfume. His family went from being poor to being rich, from studying hard under the oil lamp to being in charge, his brother gradually established an image of omnipotence for him. Since his brother said that he could select elite soldiers, Jiang Anyong felt relieved and no longer thought about it. He picked up the wine gourd and filled the wine again. The three of them drank until the second day of the day, and they happily dispersed after the wine and vegetables were finished.
In the bedroom, Siyu and Xinfei muttered: "Senior sister, brother-in-law, An Yong, Shitou are drinking in the study. Do you think they can discuss what method they can do?"
Xinfei glanced at Siyu and smiled and said, "Why, are you afraid of losing?"
"Swish, I won't lose. As long as you don't help your brother-in-law, what can the three of them come up with." Siyu encouraged herself, and after a moment of excuse, he said, "Brother-in-law has many tricks, maybe he can figure out what tricks he can figure out."
Xinfei slapped the candle with a pistol and said, "Go to bed early and you'll know tomorrow."
The next day, everyone got up early, and it was not convenient for women to enter and exit the military camp. Xinfei and Siyu both changed into men's clothes, and five people rode on horses to the military camp outside the city.
Jiang Anyi changed into a green uniform today, with his long-killing moon-killing sword behind his back, a star-shooting bow hanging from his back, and a quiver hanging from his waist, and twenty armor-breaking arrows inserted. Jiang Anyong was wearing iron armor, holding a silver spear in his hand, and crossing the red sandalwood bow diagonally, looking handsome and mighty. The stone also had iron armor, carrying a long spear, hanging from his waist, hanging from his bow and arrow, Xinfei and Siyu black uniforms, hanging from his waist, dressed as Jiang Anyi's guard.
After arriving at the military camp, there were constant shouts and shouts in the camp, and soldiers were practicing on the school field. Mei Hongmin received a notice and sent a personal soldier to lead the way, leading five people to a high platform. There were flags everywhere on the platform. Mei Hongmin was wearing military uniforms, and watched the training of the soldiers on the school field surrounded by several generals. The dust rose heavily on the school field, and countless soldiers and horses moved forward and retreated with the flags waving on the platform. The dust reflected the cold light of swords and guns, and a evil aura soared into the sky. The neat shouts and shouts shocked the white clouds in the sky.
When Jiang Anyi and others arrived, Mei Hongmin ignored him. Jiang Anyong and Shi Tou held their fists and saluted, signaling Jiang Anyi to stand quietly. After half an hour of practice, there was a sound of golden drums and footsteps neatly. After a while, the soldiers on the school military field were arranged neatly like swords and axes. Ten thousand people stood silently, with uniform appearances, and the wind blew the flags, and occasionally a horse neighed, which made it more solemn and solemn.
Mei Hongmin smugly turned his head to Jiang Anyi beside him and smiled: "Sir Jiang, how do you see my son?"
"Yes, it's indeed a mighty and majestic teacher." Jiang Anyi praised.
"I heard from Jiang Anyong that you are not satisfied with the 500 people under his command and insist on choosing them personally. Now that the 10,000 troops in my army are here, I want to see how the adults choose." Mei Hongmin unconcealed his contempt.
The generals beside him also sneered, and one of them said, "Mr. Jiang, the men have not had breakfast yet. Please pick them up earlier. After picking them up, everyone has a good meal. If you are rich, you may not eat the simple food from the military camp. Please take your personal guards back to Huiye Mansion to have a delicious meal."
Jiang Anyi just took the wind in his ears and whispered loudly: "I am the governor of Huazhou, Jiang Anyi, who is ordered by the saint to select 300 personal guards. General Mei and the generals said just now that you are all elites, so I will give you a question to test you. Those who can pass will be qualified to be selected as personal guards. Please stay with the soldiers who are willing to participate in the selection."
The tall man sneered again: "Master Jiang, I'm afraid that 8,000 of these 10,000 people will pass your selection, so how can I choose?"
Jiang Anyi was secretly angry, but smiled on his face: "If you think this general is easy, you might as well try it."
"The general surname is Jiang, who is a guerrilla general in the army (from the fifth rank). General Mei does not allow generals under the eighth rank to run for the election. Otherwise, he would rather try it and see how difficult it is to select Lord Jiang." Jiang Gao replied indifferently.
More than 6,000 people were left at the school ground, and the salary offered by Jiang Anyi was very attractive to most people. Jiang Anyi said loudly again: "Five miles south of the school ground is Shitang Mountain. There is a seven-leaf forest on the mountain. Please participate in the choice of wearing armor, carrying a spear, hanging a bow and arrow to the seven-leaf forest to pick up a leaf. It is considered qualified to arrive at the school ground within two quarters of an hour."
As soon as Jiang Anyi finished speaking, the school ground was in an uproar. The leather armor of Dazheng officers and soldiers weighed about twenty kilograms. The spear used by ordinary soldiers was a wooden handle and iron spear head, weighing about five kilograms, and the bow and arrow were about five kilograms. The body was thirty kilograms. Carrying a weight of thirty kilograms and running ten miles within two quarters of an hour is a test for most people, and this test is only a qualification to be selected.
Seeing the chaotic discussions on the school ground, Mei Hongmin showed anger and shouted loudly: "What's the matter? If you can't do it, just quit yourself, so as not to lose my face."
