Chapter 81: Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period (20) Leading the conscription, free points belong...
During dinner, Ye Mo promised Meng Sheng that after finishing the food processing plant, she would have a good rest and adjust. Moreover, she specifically asked Meng Sheng not to publicize this matter too much for the time being, and to discuss it together after Yang Chengjun came back.
Meng Sheng knew that she was filial and just thought that she wanted to give her father a surprise. He happily agreed and gave her a high evaluation of not being eager for quick success. He blushed a little when he heard it.
It was sunset, and at the North Suburb Ranch, today's hunting team was transporting prey like yesterday.
When hundreds of guards were carrying iron lumps of unknown function to the ranch, they attracted the attention of many hunters. Many people would watch when they were transporting prey.
"Equipment?"
"Who?"
"Li Jing?"
"Fuck, a machinery factory!!!"
Wang Wu and the others were shocked. Several survivors couldn't help rubbing their eyes many times, looking at the environment and the modern machinery.
Zhang San's three views were seriously broken. Although Li Jing told him that she would solve the baking problem, she didn't say that she would use such a machine to solve the problem. The newly built mud house was really a factory!
Even if this factory was built with the help of the Master of Momen, Li Jing, who was able to communicate in the middle, was definitely not simple. No wonder Wang Wu reported that Li Jing's talent for machinery was not comparable to theirs.
Li Si was convinced of his defeat. No matter whether it was machinery, mechanisms, or mechanical mechanisms, they were all too far away from him in the dungeon.
The reserve forces were still entangled in discussing the issue of power generation. The agents had already arranged the equipment issues with the help of a Mo Men disciple and assembled other common assembly line equipment such as warehouse filling and drying storage dishes.
When Ye Mo and his friends finished lunch and arrived at the ranch, the Five Elements Array Food Processing Plant was completed.
There is more meat today.
The meat after simple and rough rind is added to the equipment. It does not require electricity, but is converted from spiritual energy into other energies. The rumbling sound of machinery rang out on the ranch, and was partially echoed by the mountains.
Fifteen minutes later, strips of jerky came out of the oven, which was a bit similar to the World of Warcraft jerky in the Irish dungeon.
There is no doubt that the sweat content of these jerky is less than 5%. If stored properly, they can be enjoyed for several months without spoiling. Not only can meat be dried, but also wild vegetables can be dried. It
is even more complicated to use medicinal materials. No.
What else can the survivors say except to give admiring eyes? Why are the predecessors so excellent?
Wang Qi:
... No, we are different.
Among the logistics reserve forces led by Sun Ba, there are those who know a little about machinery. They are not slow to get started with the magical machinery of the grain factory.
The humming sound of the Five Elements Machinery Processing Factory worked until the first quarter of the night. Together with artificial fumigation, one-third of the entire prey was processed, and the jerky was stored in a dry temporary warehouse.
That night, Ye Mo finally slept well.
…
On the third day, the dehydrated grain factory was fully processed.
Ye Mo relaxed for a long time and joined the hunting team outside Huquan River. Together with Wang Xue, they carried out the "mountain clearing campaign". After removing the cubs and pregnant females, more than half of the remaining prey were shot.
They didn't need to run around with the animals. Wang Xue played the pleasant and melodious Paixiao in the green mountains. The folk tunes sounded interesting, but the animals showed different degrees of abnormality. Waiting for the rabbit was a good choice.
Hundreds of guards followed the two to pick up prey.
Because the journey was a bit far, there were no stationing points in these mountains. The guards were all carrying a lot of prey. Every half an hour, someone had to go back and forth to clean up the prey. Their job changed from guard to transporter.
Too brutal!
Ye Mo praised: "The flute is played well."
But in half a day, Ye Mo and Wang Xue greatly increased the workload of the peasants. If the number of prey of the female team was not included in the competition, there is no doubt that they would have firmly won the first and second place in this spring hunting.
Others did not know that Mi Wenjing and her team were so brutal, and only thought that Yang Chengjun's guards were very capable.
...
The sound of machinery on the pasture mixed with the smell of smoke, and the soldiers also tasted the dried meat and smoked meat.
Nowadays, all kitchen utensils are steamers, or they are directly grilled on fire. Meat will smell fishy no matter how it is eaten without grilling, and vegetables will taste sour no matter how they are cooked. However, dried meat and smoked meat are made to remove the fishy smell with a little wine and ginger.
Wang Qi took the opportunity to bring the iron hot pot to this period in advance. With limited seasonings, he showed his second-rate cooking skills and was liked by a group of foodie soldiers. His popularity suddenly became good.
Sure enough, from ancient times to the present, the land of China will always be full of foodies.
The soldiers also saw the storage capacity of meat jerky. In the past, there would be more mold in spring and summer. On the third day of hunting, the first prey might have started to go bad, except for the live prey.
But the meat jerky from the grain factory or the smoked meat smoked with branches not only did not go bad, but also could be boiled, fried, or used as dry food. There were many ways to cook it. Just heating it up and eating boiled meat or shredded meat floss tasted better than the boiled meat in the past.
"Young lady is a wise man."
Wang Qi silently calculated in his mind how many hundred soldiers had praised Li Jing so much. They, the survivors, were already numb to it. There was no need to control public opinion. Mi Wenjing's reputation in the army was almost god-like.
If Ye Mo had not personally ordered to stop the news from leaking out, the entire Chuyang City might have been discussing it even more intensely.
This spring hunt was very fruitful.
However, this year's summer hunting, autumn hunting, winter hunting, and even next year's spring hunting will definitely be affected.
...
At noon on the fourth day, the second project of the spring recruitment officially ended, and the hunters began to be counted. Among the recruits and soldier hunting teams, the top 5,000 individual hunters and the top 3,000 teams were selected.
Among them, three hunting teams including agents were among the top 3,000 recruit hunting teams.
Under the advice of the young lady, except for those who withdrew from the selection for various reasons, more than 85% of them entered the army. Ye Mo was in the limelight because of the meat and food issue, and no one jumped out to refute it.
The number of soldiers recruited in the spring this year is three times more than last year.
A total of 192 reserve soldiers enlisted, and their elimination rate in the second project was not small. Among them, three people were unfortunately forced to withdraw from the project due to bad luck, but they were recruited as an exception because of their good foundation.
The primeval forest is really beyond the imagination of modern people. Faced with tigers, pythons, various poisonous insects and ants, thirst and hunger, they have the idea of escaping and muddling through, which is higher than that of local people. The more thoughts of retreat, the higher the possibility of giving up halfway.
Not everyone is like biologist agent Wei Jiu, who has time to explore and compare during the hunting process, find out which species of modern plants have become extinct, and dissect extinct animals such as the South China tiger.
During the period, Zhang San repeatedly reminded: "Wei Jiu, remember your mission, identify medicinal plants, wild fruits, and wild vegetables!"
"Acorus, Juhua, Ginseng, Dry Rehmannia, Cuscuta australis, Chongweizi, Nvwei, Fangkui, Bupleurum, Ophiopogon japonicus..." Wei Jiu, who was reciting "Shennong Baicao Jing", nodded randomly.
...
When Meng Sheng announced the result of the conscription himself, a system voice appeared in Ye Mo's mind: [Congratulations to the survivor Ye Mo for successfully leading the Chuyang City conscription in the 'Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period', completing the special branch mission 1, and the free point attribute +4.]
Wang Xue: [Congratulations to the survivor Wang Xue for successfully participating in the Chuyang City conscription in the 'Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period', completing the branch mission 1, and the free point attribute +2.]
Wang Qi: [Congratulations to the survivor Wang Qi for successfully joining the army in the 'Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period', completing the branch mission 1, and the free point attribute +2. 】
Survivor No. 2 & Survivor No. 3: [……]
At the same time, among the reservists, Agents Zhang San & Li Si & Zhao Liu & Qian Qi heard two consecutive voices: [Congratulations to XXX for successfully enlisting in the Chuyang City Army in the 'Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period' and
completing the side quest. Strength attribute +1, agility attribute +1, and constitution attribute +1. ] [Congratulations to XXX for assisting the survivor Mi Wenjing in the 'Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period' to complete the Yangcheng Jun Recruitment, completing side quest 1, strength attribute +1, agility attribute +1, and constitution attribute +1. ]The
remaining reservists also heard: [Congratulations to XXX for successfully enlisting in the Chuyang City Army in the 'Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period' and completing the side quest. Strength attribute +1, agility attribute +1, and constitution attribute +1. 】
For the reserve, it is not easy to break through the critical value of the attribute. The attribute increased by completing the task is three times the critical value. The physical and mental fatigue of the day is instantly gone, and the interest in joining the army is high.
"Is there a reward for conscription?"
Hearing the system prompt, Ye Mo thought about it.
There are four different system tasks, including Mo's master, defending Chuyang City, saving the people, and joining the army. The difficulty ranges from high to low, but in fact every survivor can do these tasks?
...
The third spring recruitment project is a competition between the strong, that is, the competition between the top 5,000 single hunters and the top 3,000 team members in the second hunting project.
The events they will conduct are mainly divided into four parts: infantry, crossbow, chariot, and cavalry. Among them, infantry includes halberds, spears, halberds, hatchets, swords, axes, etc., and crossbows include kicking crossbows, riding bows, waist-drawn crossbows, and holding crossbows... Each small event will send 100 winners.
In previous years, the top three melee fighters who were particularly outstanding in the competition might be summoned by the Lord of Yangcheng to join his guards, such as Gong Ziyi, and the remaining top 100 might get rewards such as land, money, food, and cloth.
Ye Mo did not change the material rewards, but added the reward content of this fighting event, specifically referring to the twenty-level nobility system issued according to military merit after Shang Yang's reform in later generations.
"Shuihudi Qin Tomb Bamboo Slips. Zhong Lao Lu" states: "The army has a new theory on attacking a city. If the city falls, there is still a place to rest. Before reaching the battlefield, they should report: Those who are killed and wounded in the battle should be punished; the head of the garrison should be punished. If the ten or five are smart and do not report, they should be punished with one armor and two armors. They should be punished with the role model."
As we all know, the Qin army is very powerful.
In addition to the generals, there are also iron-clad military discipline and strict promotion regulations. Cruel punishments for deserters such as "the ten or five are jointly responsible", "the body is killed and the family is disabled, and men and women are fair to officials" cannot be implemented, but the promotion model of "cutting off the head of one armor and giving one level of nobility" can be completely imitated.
The first step is that Ye Mo first gave different titles to the outstanding soldiers and divided the soldiers into one, two, and three levels. With the levels, Zhang San and others will be more likely to stand out in the future.
For example, all the participants who passed the second item were ordinary soldiers. The top 100 in the riding competition were given the title of C-Soldier, and the top 3 were given the title of B-Soldier.
The top 100 in the swordsmanship competition were given the title of C-Soldier, and the top 3 were given the title of B-Soldier. The top 100 soldiers in the riding competition were given the title of B-Soldier, and the top 3 were given the title of A-Soldier.
And so on.
The rewards for the soldiers in previous years have not been reduced, and there may be an additional honorary title that can be compared. Those who are able to compete for the top 100 have nothing to lose, but instead have a desire to compete.
In addition to the above regulations, Ye Mo added a ring competition on the afternoon of the second day. Regardless of weapons or soldiers, all those present who think they are strong can go on stage to compete.
The defender who wins ten games in a row will receive a reward.
The officials were still immersed in the joy of meat and food, and did not care about these things with the young lady. Not to mention that these ranks could inspire the soldiers to make progress, which was a good thing, and they could not argue with them.
The officials who disliked Ye Mo were gradually decreasing, and the officials who rejected Ye Mo felt isolated and helpless. It was impossible for them to complain to Meng Sheng, and they could only wait for Yang Chengjun to come back and report the matter to him.
This part of the officials was looking forward to Yang Chengjun's return all the time.
The magnate Meng Sheng was really not very interested in the war. He was now immersed in the new surprises brought by metal materials, and did not pay much attention to other things. As long as the regulations of the spring recruitment project were followed, it would be fine.
He believed that his disciple was not a reckless person.
...
Wang Qi and three other survivors all participated in the third event, two close combat swordsmen and one long-range crossbowman, while the agents' choices included riders, waist-drawn crossbowmen, swordsmen, and chariot battles.
Compared with the training and hunting in the previous few days, the fighting event was obviously more exciting. The reservists were all shocked, because what was in front of them was beyond the reach of contemporary martial arts movies, and the speed alone was dazzling.
The real masters among the soldiers also emerged.
Wang Qi also encountered several swordsmen with lower attributes than him in the sword fight, but with much better swordsmanship than him. The result was obvious, and he unexpectedly fell out of the top three, just ranking fourth.
The other two survivors, long-range crossbowmen, were awarded the title of Yishi. Melee swordsmen are C-class soldiers like Wang Qi. Their strength and speed may be better than B-class soldiers, but they lose in swordsmanship and combat experience.
Surprisingly, there are three agents, including Zhang San and Li Si, who are fighting in the chariot race. All three of them can drive a car, shoot arrows, and fight in close combat. They cooperate very well, have first-class driving skills and speed, and have the credit of improving the chariot, so they squeezed into the top three.
The final free challenge ring competition was very exciting.
At the beginning, there were ordinary soldiers on the field, but after a B-class swordsman came on the field, basically all masters PK, even the officials watched with relish, discussing who won and who lost during the process.
The fighting style of civilian soldiers is different from that of guards, and Ye Mo also absorbed a lot of new knowledge while watching.
In the middle of the competition, the defender among the soldiers was a swordsman. When he asked if anyone else wanted to challenge, he suddenly heard a female voice answering, and saw Wang Xue using the air to gain momentum and appear on the ring like a breeze.
Meng Sheng & Xu Ruo: "..."
The officials:
"This is not polite!"
