Chapter 2590 Hao Zhao and Wu Wenhua, the hidden heroes


    Chapter 2587: Hao Zhao and Wu Wenhua, the hidden heroes


    Bingzhou, Taiyuan County, and Wu County recruitment offices have already been lined up.


    "Name?"


    “Hao Zhao.”


    "age?"


    “18.”


    "Home to live?"


    "Taiyuan County, Wu County, Haowuzhuang."


    "Parents'' names?"


    …


    The clerk didn''t even look at the young people who came to register for the army to fight. After registering all the procedures neatly, he said without raising his head: "Go there first, wait for someone to take you to the selection."


    "that…"


    "Next."


    Hao Zhao originally wanted to ask a few questions, but there were too many people who signed up for the army this time, and the clerk had no time to pay attention to Hao Zhao, so he asked Hao Zhao to wait aside.


    Although Hao Zhao came from a famous family in Bingzhou and his father was Hao Tong, a senior member of the Jin Dynasty who was one of the 108 founding marquises, he himself was still innocent and did not want to make a name for himself by his family, so he naturally had to abide by the rules in the military camp.


    After Hao Zhao glanced at the long dragon behind him, he couldn''t help but say to himself: "There are so many people coming to join the army this time."


    There were only three clerks in charge of registration in the recruitment department. They registered from early to early until the sun set, and their brushes were all hair-lost, but there were still a large number of people who had not registered.


    Seeing this, the recruiting commander shouted to the people who had not registered: "The recruitment time has come. Let''s go back first, and we will register tomorrow."


    As soon as this statement came out, everyone who did not sign up became anxious.


    "Don''t, sir, I''ve been in line for one day."


    "I came to wait for a long time yesterday, and today I waited for another day, but I still didn''t line up."


    "Who knows if you still recruit people tomorrow?"


    …


    Everyone started yelling, saying that they were unwilling to leave.


    The recruiting chief was not surprised at all and habitually explained: "Don''t worry, fellow villagers, this recruitment will last for seven days. Now it''s only the third day. The time is still long. The registered staff have worked hard all day and need rest, right?"


    Everyone just didn''t want to miss this opportunity. After hearing the recruiting officer''s words, most of them chose to go home, but a small number of them did not leave, but instead brought their own bedding to sleep outside the recruiting office and lined up in advance.


    Seeing this, the recruiter did not continue to slam the people, but shook his head helplessly. Even he was frightened by the people''s enthusiasm for joining the army.


    The next day, the recruitment of the recruitment department continued, while the people named in the previous daily newspaper were attracted to a military camp for unified screening.


    “Hao Wuzhuang, Hao Zhao.”


    Hearing the instructor''s name, Hao Zhao quickly stood up and shouted, "Come."


    Seeing this, the general nodded and continued to name: "Hao Wuzhuang, Wu Culture."


    "arrive."


    After hearing this name, Hao Zhao looked at the fellow villager who stood up in surprise. Unexpectedly, the hero''s son also came to join the army.


    "Wu Wenhua, who asked you to come?"


    A violent shout sounded, and then a lame official, under the protection of several county soldiers, walked up to Wu Wenhua angrily.


    Wu Wenhua, who had a brilliant face just now, suddenly became depressed after seeing the visitor and stuttered: "Uncle, uncle."


    After seeing the visitor, everyone saluted and said, "Mr. County Master."


    After the county magistrate glared at Wu Wenhua fiercely, he glanced at the new recruits present and found that many of them were from Hao Wuzhuang, and Hao Zhao''s face suddenly became even worse when he was among the new recruits.


    Hao Wuzhuang, just looking at this name means you can tell that this is a village dominated by the Hao and Wu surnames, and it is also one of the richest villages in the Qin Dynasty.


    Haowuzhuang, every household has built solid brick and stone houses instead of adobe houses. The fields are full of crops, and the faces of the people are full of happiness, which all show the wealth of Wuzhuang.


    But Wuzhuang more than ten years ago was Bingzhou and even the entire Han Dynasty, all ranked last in the remote area.


    The reason why Wuzhuang has such an amazing change is mainly attributed to two people, one is Wu Ling, one of the eight major captains of Yanmen, and the other is Hao Tong, known as the "right hand of the king".


    During the reign of Emperor Ying Wen of Yanmen, he had eight powerful generals under his command, so he was collectively called the eight major captains of Yanmen, namely: Zhang Liao, Qin Jian, Xu Huang, Meng Wu, Luo Yi, Mu Feng, Wu Ling, and Wang Hui;


    Compared with the first five, the last three are relatively weak because they have all died in battle.


    Wang Hui, who was born in the Wang Shichong family, rebelled in the battle of Yanmen Pass and was shot and killed by Qin Liangyu. After his death, he was removed from the ranks of eight lieutenants and replaced by Gao Shun.


    Gao Shun was originally a candidate for the Eighth School Captain, but he was too straightforward and was demoted many times. The worst time was that he was directly demoted from the Eighth School Captain to the Gatekeeper, so he was unable to enter the ranks of the Eighth School.


    However, after Wang Hui was killed in rebellion, Gao Shun was also listed as one of the eight lieutenants as he wished.


    Mu Feng, the father of the imperial concubine Mu Guiying, and Luo Yi, and Luo Cheng''s father, both died in the first Hetao War, which is really a pity.


    As for the last Wu Ling, he was betrayed by deputy general Wang Hui during the battle of Yanmen Pass and eventually died at the hands of Wang Hui.


    Wu Ling died a bit unfairly. After all, no one who could be included in the ranks of the eight major captains was mediocre. If Wu Ling could survive until the founding of the Qin Dynasty, he would definitely be able to join the ranks of 108 Marquises, but unfortunately he died worthless.


    There are nine lieutenants from the eight major Yanmen, but now four dead and five remain.


    The five living people made great contributions to the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, ranking among the 108 founding marquises, and all of them became famous.


    Back to the topic.


    Wu Ling is a native of Wuzhuang, but because his family is too poor, he is almost unable to survive. So he encouraged Hao Tong, the only teacher in the same village who had studied, to join Ying Wen, who came to recruit soldiers.


    Hao Tong chose to go into politics, and Wu Ling also gradually grew up in wars and was finally promoted to the lieutenant level little by little.


    Wu Ling and Hao Tong were undoubtedly lucky. They were valued by Ying Wen, which gave the opportunity to change their destiny.


    In the chaotic times, there are countless people like Wu Ling and Hao Tong. They are not as lucky as Wu Ling and Hao Tong, and they can only live their lives in a daze. After Wu Ling died in battle, Ying Hao thought of his military achievements and selected five strong and well-qualified elite soldiers from his fellow villagers in the army to train him.


    You know, the Kowloon Guard is an officer training camp. When it was first built, there were only 55 people in total, and a village in Haowuzhuang accounted for one eleventh of them.


    The five people from Hao Wuzhuang were also the first batch of officers who graduated from the Kowloon Guard. After leaving the Kowloon Guard, they were all appointed as military marquis and commanded two hundred soldiers.


    After more than ten years of war, two of the five people have died in battle, and two of the three living people have been disabled and retired. The only one who is still in the army is Wu Ling''s cousin Wu Songshan. He has been promoted to a minor general and commands the 6,000 soldiers of the Third Battalion.


    As for the two disabled and retired from the army, one broke his hands and the other broke his legs. Both of them returned to their hometowns and served as lower-level officials.


    After returning to Wu County with broken hands, he became the village chief of the neighboring village and married and had children. From then on, his wife and children were warm, his family was harmonious, and his children were full of children and grandchildren.


    The one who broke his legs was Wu Ling''s cousin. He did not give up his career, but started as the village chief of Haowuzhuang and was promoted to the magistrate of Wu County. He was the famous lame county magistrate of Bingzhou, Wu Songlin.


    He is a good friend of the poet Li Bai. Li Bai''s poems are rare, but he has written three poems specifically for him.


    He is the close friend of the hero Guo Jing. Guo Jing has traveled thousands of miles to Liaodong to kill the thief Hua Butterfly Hua Chong, because Hua Chong committed thirteen consecutive crimes in Wu County.


    He is also a student of Hao Tong, the Minister of Works and Bingzhou. Hao Tong wanted to transfer him to the capital many times, but he refused because he wanted to stay in his hometown and seek benefits for his fellow villagers in his hometown.


    Although Wu Songlin is just a county magistrate, he is upright and never seeks personal gain. Therefore, he is deeply loved by his hometown elders and is also a strong competitor for the county ministers in Taiyuan.


    After Wu Songlin discovered Hao Zhao, he immediately said angrily: "Wu Wenhua, did you instigate Hao Zhao to join the army?"


    Wu Wenhua also looked surprised when he heard this. He turned his head and found that Hao Haozhao was there too. So he hurriedly said, "Uncle, this has nothing to do with me."


    Hao Zhao stood up with a wry smile on his face, but he still couldn''t hide.


    "Uncle Wu, it''s me who came by myself, it has nothing to do with Wu Wenhua."


    Hao Zhao is the son of Hao Tong, a first-rank senior official, and Wu Songlin is a disciple of Hao Tong. Naturally, he knows that Hao Tong wants Hao Zhao to join the country rather than join the army, but Hao Tong secretly ran out to join the army without telling his family.


    As for his nephew Wu Wenhua, although Wu Songlin did not object to his joining the army, he did not want him to follow the recruitment route to join the army, because even if he was recruited, he would start with the lower-level soldiers, and the starting point was too low.


    Wu Songlin himself was the first batch of officers in the Kowloon Training Camp, and was promoted to the Sima level of the army through military achievements. He was later forced to retire due to his disability and had to follow the politics.


    Wu Songlin knew the cruelty on the battlefield well, so he naturally didn''t want his nephew to start from the bottom. He had planned his future path for his nephew and was preparing to let his nephew participate in the military exercises next year, but he didn''t expect that his nephew secretly signed up for the military without telling him.


    "You two are all out for me, one or two is really worry-free."


    After scolding the two, Wu Songlin said to the instructor: "These two do not meet the enlistment standards. Please cross out their names."


    Wu Wenhua was anxious when he heard this: "Don''t, uncle..."


    He knew that his uncle had planned everything for him, and he also knew that his uncle had planned it for him, but like Hao Zhao, he did not want to rely on his family relationships. He wanted to work hard with his own abilities.


    Although Wu Wen''s family background is as prominent as Hao Zhao, as the orphan of the "hero", he also has the best environment for growth. Although he was raised in Hao Wuzhuang like Hao Zhao, it does not mean that he has never seen the outside world.


    Wu Wenhua knew most of the second generation of Daqin, and his childhood playmates Yue Yun and Xue Dingshan all relied on their own abilities to start from the bottom and gradually promoted to the general level.


    Wu Wenhua believes that his talent is no worse than the two of them, and he can do what they can do.


    Besides, he is not incompetent and relies on family connections. If this is spread, wouldn’t he let his former friends laugh at him?


    Wu Songlin''s request made the instructor a little embarrassed.


    The instructor whispered in his ear: "My County Lord, if it is someone else, it''s fine. I''m willing to give this convenience to the adults.


    But Wu Wenhua and Hao Zhao were the people whom the general personally advised him. Crossing out their names is not within the power of the subordinate officials. ”


    Hearing this, Wu Songlin frowned and asked, "Who is the head of this training camp? I will tell him personally."


    "No need, I''m in the future."


    A young voice came from not far away.


    I saw a young general wearing silver armor walking over with a smile on his face, clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Wu, long time no see."


    "Who are you…"


    Wu Songlin frowned and thought after seeing the person, but he really couldn''t remember who this young general was.


    The young general smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, you don''t know me anymore. I am Dingshan, Xue Dingshan."


    At this time, Xue Dingshan was in high spirits. His father Xue Rengui was still working for the landlords in the neighboring village at his age to earn food expenses, but he had already made great contributions in many battles such as the Japanese conquest. He was promoted to the level of general at a young age and was responsible for one of the seventy new recruit battalions, responsible for recruiting, training and commanding the ten thousand new troops.


    Looking at Xue Dingshan wearing silver armor, his handsome faces were full of envy. When would they be able to wear this dragon scale armor?


    Xue Dingshan naturally did not forget Wu Wenhua and Hao Zhao, two childhood playmates, or else he did not specifically remind him to take care of him.


    Xue Dingshan naturally would not agree to Wu Songlin''s request. After all, Wu Wenhua has been gifted since childhood, and is not even worse than Yue Yun. With his joining, it can also increase the foundation of his army.


    Since Xue Dingshan was appointed as the commander of the new army and commanding the ten thousand troops, he naturally had to be responsible for this army.


    The talents who entered his camp still want to leave? No way.


    The Qin Dynasty expanded its army by 700,000 this time, and nearly one million people signed up in the first three days, and naturally there were a large number of talents hidden.


    Situations like Xue Dingshan have occurred all over the country.


    Yue Yun, who was responsible for recruiting soldiers in Jizhou, recruited Jin Ling''s disciple and disciple, Yu Yuan Yu Hua''s master and apprentice, and Yu Yuan''s strength was no less than Yue Yun.


    Chen Tang, who was responsible for recruiting soldiers in Liangzhou, was recruited in Longxi. He could use a 60-pound big knife, two stone iron-tied bows, and three meteor hammers hidden. Wang Shuang was the one who scored a lot of tricks.


    Wang Xuance, who was responsible for recruiting soldiers in Qingzhou, recruited Lu Xiangsheng, a famous anti-Qing general in the late Ming Dynasty in Beihai.


    …


    In fact, with the ability of these outstanding people, they can participate in the next martial arts, but they all tacitly chose to join the army at this time and start from the bottom.


    The main reason why they did this is actually to see that the Qin Dynasty will launch a war of unification before the next Martial Arts.


    And in this unprecedented battle, there are naturally opportunities to make contributions.


    ?The company worked overtime frequently this week. The author has been working for three consecutive days. He really has no time to write, so he can only try his best to make up for the three days of suspension of updates.
