Jiang Chen looked calm and spat out two words:

"Yes, I am already a hundred generals."

Yesterday, no matter what tricky questions the military judges asked, in the eyes of Jiang Chen, who had reached the level of "reciting the full text", it was nothing more than a piece of cake. He passed the assessment easily and became an independent hundred generals. From then on, he was separated from his civilian status and had

The most important official status!

Hear the words.

All the soldiers in Qingzhou looked gloomy, lowered their heads and surrendered.

…………

"That's unreasonable!"

In the camp, Fan Liangshan heard that three of his soldiers were imprisoned by Jiang Chen. An angry look appeared on his face. He smashed another purple clay teapot and said angrily:

"You are my brother, and you have borrowed hundreds of taels of supplies, and never paid them back. On the night of Mu Yao, I will let you live, as a favor...to you by not killing me!"

"Now! Now, you actually put my soldiers in prison. Do you deserve to call me Brother Fan?"

"It's his mother's fault!"

"On the night of Mu Yao, I should have entered the camp and killed you bastard!"

Finished scolding.

Fan Liangshan sullenly walked out of the camp, ready to settle the score with Jiang Chen. Unexpectedly, just as he walked out of the camp, he was blocked by a tall and muscular man with a big belly and a big nose.

Ruan Tiehan made a loud sound and said:

"Fan Baijiang, I have learned some new principles from Brother Jiang. Let me persuade people with my principles and explain them to you."

"ah?"

Before Fan Liangshan could react, he was forcibly dragged into the camp by Ruan Tiehan.

…………

To the east of the city, the prison.

Fifteen Qingzhou soldiers looked gloomy and walked slowly into the prison filled with straw, their hearts filled with fear.

Although neither party had made a fatal move and had always maintained restraint, with only minor wounds on their bodies, there was no doubt that this was a private fight!

Even the Han laws have restrictions on private fights.

Liu Ji, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, once said:

"He who kills will die, and those who injure others and steal will not be punished."

Although it is not as cruel as Qin Fa, if you break a neighbor's branch, you will still be punished, but those who hurt others will also need to pay a corresponding price.

Jiang Chen stared down at the many Qingzhou soldiers in the prison and said in a deep voice:

"According to the "Kyushu Military Code", soldiers fighting privately in Kyushu must confiscate their hardware, remove their military status, abolish all spiritual powers, and... be exiled to the frontier for five years!"

As soon as these words came out, fear quietly arose in the hearts of all the Qingzhou soldiers.

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Didn't we agree that we would only imprison him until the construction of the granary is completed?"

"Jiang Baijiang, please spare us!"

"It's just a joke with the civilian husbands for a while. After fighting for a lifetime, can't you still enjoy it?"

Jiang Chen threw out a volume of law and said calmly:

"Turn to page 27, and if you can read, read it for yourself."

The literacy rate of civilians is less than 4%, but the literacy rate of Qingzhou soldiers is as high as 50%.

All the Qingzhou soldiers formed a group, and the old Qingzhou soldier at the head read the twenty-seventh page of the "Kiuzhou Military Rules" in public:

"If a soldier from Kyushu engages in private fighting, he will be fined five gold coins. If the crime is serious, he will be expelled from the military, lose his spiritual power, and be exiled to the frontier for five years!"

"If a private fight affects military and government affairs, seeks wealth and kills, hurts fellow officers, disrupts people's livelihood, etc., it will be considered a serious crime."

When this decree was read out in public, a look of despair immediately appeared on the faces of the Qingzhou soldiers.

Hardware, that is, fifty taels of silver.

For this group of Qingzhou soldiers, it was only a few years' worth of money. They relied on departure fees, looting and other activities to make a living, or even more than enough.

But if, in addition to his military status, he loses the powerful power brought by becoming a saint, and goes back to his hometown to farm... he will be stabbed in the back by his tribe!

A younger Qingzhou soldier covered his crotch and deeply regretted:

"If you are really expelled from the military and lose your spiritual power, it will be worse than death. Yesterday was the first time for me!"

The rest of the people also felt sad, and in short they felt very regretful.

Jiang Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and stared at the expressions of these Qingzhou soldiers. He always felt that he had seen them before somewhere and seemed familiar...

Oh, I remembered it!

One of his friends seemed to look like this when he was caught engaging in prostitution.

That time and that moment, exactly this moment!

Seeing that the time was ripe, Jiang Chen suddenly changed the subject:

"So, do you think you are guilty of a serious crime?"

As soon as these words came out, more than ten Qingzhou soldiers immediately sensed a turning point, and they all grabbed the prison iron bars and said anxiously:

"Jiang Baijiang, what do you think?"

"If you think it counts, we will admit it. If you think it doesn't count, we won't."

"Listen to Master Jiang!"

Jiang Chen shook his head and said calmly:

"Whether it's hindering military affairs or hurting fellow comrades, it's all closely related to Commander Wu. It would be better to ask his opinion."

Xiao Wu on the side had a particularly cold tone:

"If you become true colleagues of our militiamen and work under the command of the leader, I can let you go."

"What a pity, you are not!"

In the prison, a Qingzhou soldier with a quick mind reacted immediately and shouted:

"Master Jiang, you are already a newly promoted independent general. However, whether it is the Western Expedition Army or the Qingzhou Army Headquarters, the shortage of soldiers is very serious. I am afraid that your share of twenty soldiers will not be available in a short time.

How about we join the militia and follow you?"

Qingzhou soldiers need to meet many conditions for promotion:

One.

A forest with more than 500 ten-year-old trees and a large number of corpses of fresh soldiers are the most basic requirements for launching the ritual.

Second.

Recruits who have reached 50% of the strength of the Qingzhou soldiers must have the combat power to kill two Huanyang warriors independently.

Third.

General level clearance.

If mid-level and low-level military officials are allowed to freely recruit Kyushu warriors, the world will quickly fall into turmoil and chaos within a few decades at most.

"Guoheng was destroyed by weakness, but Han alone was destroyed by strength."

In history, most countries went to ruin when they were poor and weak. Only the Han Dynasty ended when its national power (especially military power) was strong!

This is precisely because of the proliferation of warriors!

With the rapid growth of local military soldiers, Kyushu became increasingly independent and the local area became unstable.

It was not until Emperor Wei Wu held the Heavenly Sword, the divine weapon of the country, that he traveled across the nine states and killed dozens of dragons and snakes in the world, and peace was barely restored.

Not long after David established the empire, he immediately formulated the "Kyushu Military Code", which required at least the rank of general to relax the restrictions on recruiting soldiers to a certain extent, and only during wars.

therefore.

Although more than half of Zhang Longxiang's Qingzhou soldiers were damaged, they were unable to replenish their troops in time. Only a hundred captains' personal soldiers could be freely replenished.

Even if there is a serious shortage of soldiers, each battalion can only replenish the vacancies after a new batch of Qingzhou soldiers are selected and given thirty or forty days of loyalty and patriotism education.

If Jiang Chen, Gongsun Hu, Xiao Wu and others had successfully passed the selection of the Qingzhou soldiers during the expedition to the Western Army camp, they should still be receiving the brainwashing education of loyalty to the emperor.

so--

"The five quotas for private soldiers are benefits, but the twenty quotas for private soldiers are just empty quotas for a while, and they don't even have salaries!"

"Shameful waste!"

After Jiang Chen thought about it, he decided to target these Qingzhou soldiers who committed the crime.

If they can be transferred to the militia immediately, they will inevitably usher in another round of expansion of personal power!

All the Qingzhou soldiers were in agitated mood. They grabbed the iron fence and expressed loudly:

"We are willing to follow Jiang Baijiang!"

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth raised slightly:

"Okay then, come with me to meet with the captain and settle the matter."

Qingzhou Army Chief Chen Ao frowned and said hesitantly:

"But over there, Fan Baijiang..."

Jiang Chen showed a subtle smile:
Chapter completed!
