After the shortlist was announced, many of the men who were not selected sighed and expressed their disappointment.
Among them, Wei Zhaoshan’s good friend Zhao Gongliang was one of the losers.
"Old Wei, you're so lucky that you were selected. It seems that I have no chance of this." Wei Zhaoshan lamented.
At this moment, Lin Tongxi announced another piece of news.
Even if you fail to be selected, you can choose to join the "soldiers" or "volunteers".
When mentioning these two terms, we have to talk about Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan's ideas on military system reform.
Since there are too many mediocre soldiers in Wangchen County, if they are laid off all at once, it will probably cause a lot of unrest.
To this end, the two decided to adopt the strategy of grouping and delaying the trial.
First, the army was divided into three parts: the government army, elite soldiers, and soldiers. The government army was composed of loyal and strong men in the army, the elite soldiers were composed of the elite of the army, and the soldiers were the most basic soldiers.
According to the two men, the focus of this recruitment is to recruit elite soldiers.
With the support of veteran Wang Shenghan and tough general Zhang Yanwu, Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan used internal tests to select the elite to form an elite force.
For these elite soldiers, the two men significantly increased their treatment, which was exactly in line with the standards mentioned during the recruitment process.
As for the remaining soldiers who failed the test, although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to watch others get better treatment with envy as they had no strong abilities.
After receiving better treatment, the enthusiasm of these elite soldiers has also increased.
Coupled with Yue Lingyun's personal training, the Wangchen County army now has a rare and powerful army.
In order to expand the elite forces, the two began to recruit soldiers after they were ready, and have now recruited new soldiers represented by Bai Wujiu and Wei Zhaoshan.
For those men with certain physical fitness, the two men advised them to participate in the second round of recruitment.
"Everyone, this is the first round of selection of elite soldiers to join the 'White Tiger Army'. The standards are very high, and it is normal for those who are not selected to be selected."
"Having said that, if you are still interested in joining the army and serving your country, you can participate in the second round of recruitment and join the 'Xuanwu Soldiers'."
"There will be adjustments to the treatment, but the standards will also be lowered."
"If you are interested, you can sign up for the second round of recruitment. Registration procedures will be waived and subsidies will be available."
After Lin Tongxi finished speaking, he asked Zhuang Baili to send out a notice for the second round of recruitment.
After Zhao Gongliang received the notice, his hope was rekindled.
Although the salary is a bit low, it is still a job after all.
Many people who came to participate also had the same idea, and the preview also said that there would be tests within the "Xuanwu Soldiers" and other opportunities to join the "White Tiger Soldiers".
"If you are interested, you can come here to register. Someone will come to your door to remind you when the time comes." After Lin Tongxi finished speaking, he asked Zhuang Baili to carry out the registration promotion.
Anyone who comes here to register can receive daily necessities such as pots, pans, and utensils.
Some people, with the mentality of being already there, came forward to register, which just fulfilled Lin Tongxi's wish.
After that, the second round of recruitment was carried out as scheduled, and the army of Wangchen County was supplemented with high-quality troops.
However, as the number of troops increased, the related expenses increased dramatically, which became a concern for Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan.
Fortunately, the two of them were well prepared and planned to officially take action against the mediocre soldiers in the army.
Yue Lingyun stood on the stage and announced a new policy: "From now on, any soldier who fails the test will be dismissed."
As soon as this was said, some soldiers who had been in the army before the recruitment began to complain.
They originally joined the army just to get by, putting their lives on the line to make a living.
I have been a soldier for so many years, and you just want to lay me off like that?
"Of course, we will appropriately retain some of the soldiers who have made contributions."
After hearing this, some soldiers began to murmur and began to think about the possible achievements they might have made.
The other soldiers decided to adopt a human relations strategy and find ways to plead for mercy.
Apart from the Zhangyi rebels in the southwest, Wangchen County actually has no military pressure.
Even if Zhang Yi might attack, Wangchen County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the risk factor is not high.
In addition, the previous military system was not strict and there was a shortage of soldiers, so joining the army could help one get by.
Even now, compared to many jobs in the county, staying in the Wangchen County Army is still a good choice.
For this reason, the mediocre soldiers with no strength began to use all kinds of methods to try to stay in Wangchen County.
What's more, they even planned to gather a crowd to cause trouble, but this news was reported to Yue Lingyun by Xiaojiu.
Just as these leading soldiers were discussing, Yue Lingyun rushed in with Wang Shenghan, Zhang Yanwu and others.
"You bunch of bad boys, do you want to rebel?" Wang Shenghan scolded, and then asked his men to take this group of disobedient soldiers out.
"General Wang, we dare not, we were just talking casually!" One of them struggled hard.
"Just saying it casually? Many people were almost fooled by you!" Wang Shenghan refuted.
The issue of loyalty in the military has always been a sensitive area. If loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyalty.
"Captain, how should we deal with these guys?" Wang Shenghan took the initiative to ask Yue Lingyun for his opinion. After all, there was a problem with his men.
Yue Lingyun suppressed his anger and calmly conveyed the opinions of Chen Yunxuan and Lin Tongxi: "According to the wishes of the county governor and the Gongcao, we should subject them to military law, and we must do so in front of the entire army."
"This..." Wang Shenghan lowered his head. After all, these troublemakers were under his management.
"General Wang, don't worry. We are just dealing with the matter at hand. This is just to prevent more people from following their example." Yue Lingyun comforted Wang Shenghan.
