Chapter 342: The Peaceful Scene
When the news of the "big competition" spread, the army was in full swing.
To go out to fight, it also brings luck. Some of the prefectures and counties that come across honestly surrender and some of them resist.
There are also marshals who lead the troops, such as Deng Jian, who likes to charge and come in person with his troops, and those who like to sit in the rear, rarely go to battle.
The following generals have good opportunities and beautiful military achievements; there are many people who have bad opportunities and are ineffective in conquering two or three times.
There is also the military academy last year, and the generals selected dozens of people.
Those who choose will naturally be happy, and those who don’t choose will not be convinced.
In terms of qualifications, everyone has their own reliance on it.
Now this "big competition" of the entire army is the time to see the truth.
At the same time, with the good news from Wuzhou and Mingzhou, Hou Xiaoming, Shi San, Qiu Wei and others, Jia brothers, Shi Jin and others also returned to Jinling one after another.
This time, the child soldiers followed the conquest, first following Monk Feng to "strike the West", and then went south to attack Hangzhou and Taizhou. The crowd accumulated half a volume of military achievements.
But now everyone is already ten thousand generals, and the organization of child soldiers is fixed. Everyone has no choice but to be promoted for the time being, so they will all be recorded.
When the states and prefectures were defeated, they recruited new soldiers and expanded their troops. The three units of the soldiers who were not allowed to be single-handed.
Although the Chuzhou Army's "Southern Expedition" was dispatched by a large army, no one could die in the war.
After the conquest in the past six months, there have been more than 10,000 casualties.
Fortunately, the Chuzhou military pension system has matured and sufficient money has made the people's family feel at ease and no chaos.
In this world, even if you sell yourself as a slave, you can't exchange for a few silver coins; however, the casualties of soldiers, the land and money you get are enough to accommodate a family.
For more people, they are concerned about real money rewards.
"The Chen family's mistress made military achievements, Shengtun chief, and rewarded thirty taels of silver according to his merits!"
"Twenty taels of silver? You can buy three or five acres of fields in the north of the city!"
"What are you buying? When you get promoted to a hundred households, you will have to grant land, fifty acres, which is soon!"
"Tsk tsk, I never thought that the tenant's boy could still be so promising!"
After the severe drought last year last year, today's days have made the people feel at ease.
"I heard that half of the people in Hangzhou were running away, so it would be better for us Jinling. Even if the Taiwei led his troops into the city last year, it would be a stable place. Then he built the city wall. Now it is very stable. It is said that the Baishan Army is a Buddhist soldier and came to save our people. I don't believe this first, but I believe it now!"
"Who said in a low voice, the Baishan Army is different from the Baishan Army. Our Chuzhou Army is good, but it is also in chaos. My brother-in-law used to open a shop in Huainan, and his family property was raided by Baishan in Taizhou, and his daughter was almost robbed. My brother-in-law couldn't twist his arm, so he threw his family and went to me."
"Not only the chaos in the north, last year, Qichun's 'Eastern Expedition' was also raided all the way. No wealthy families were spared, and the poor families were also sacked, which harmed many people..."
"There are also those white shirts in Taizhou, which are not good either. They are all pirates who kill people and red-eyed. They use the reputation of Buddha to go ashore and kill people and slaughter the village..."
"Our Jinling is a blessed land, and welcoming the White-Shirted Army of the Taiwei!"
Nowadays, there is a chaotic world and traffic is cut off in various places. Where is so much news circulating in the market?
Most of the so-called news from all directions was arranged by the Taiwei Mansion to disperse people.
Jinling is not a paradise, but a base camp in Chuzhou, so it is necessary for the military and civilians to be united.
There are many wealthy households in Jinling, and there are many scholars.
The words "The King of Ming came to the world" can fool the people in the countryside, but they cannot fool these scholars.
However, these news from all directions can make the gentry more alert.
The court has reached its end, and only the Chuzhou army is trustworthy among all parties.
The gentry who had loyalty and righteousness to the court and refused to accept the Chuzhou military officer examination, now began to pay attention to the news about the Taiwei Mansion and wanted to know when the second military officer examination would be held.
The families who have already surrendered to the Chuzhou Army are paying attention to this "military competition".
The local clan led by the historians and Jia family is even more looking forward to the children of their own family soaring into the sky in the competition.
"Only a tree can't be formed. Although Shi Jin and his uncle and brothers are in the army, they can't catch up with the two Jia family. Last year, it was our eldest nephew who took care of the Jia family, so they were allowed to join the army. Now they are just a ungrateful person. This foreigner is a foreigner, so how can he compare with the relatives of the clan? Now that his brothers have also entered the army, they are counting on their two brothers to carry them..."
"Brothers in war, father and son are in war, the eldest nephew's eldest son is still young, and he has not married yet. In addition to brothers, nephews should also bring them..."
"I heard that it is popular in the army to adopt adopted sons, otherwise Dalang and waiter would also recognize him..."
Mr. Shi Cihe, the Shi family members are more concerned about it.
Seeing Shi Jin, Shi Jin has changed his past, and everyone is looking forward to borrowing light.
Mr. Shi really understands people and said directly: "Now it is indeed a good time to join the army. There are many wars and it is easy to make military achievements... As long as you dare to fight, you can be promoted to a seventh-rank 100 households a year... Even if you don't make meritorious service and are disabled, you can still transfer to logistics placement..."
"Ah? Dalang is all generals. His brothers have to start with small soldiers when joining the army? Isn't there a personal military camp? Let his brother be a battalion commander, not as hard as outsiders!"
"hehe!"
Mr. Shi smiled faintly: "Is Lao Wu joking? The promotion and transfer in Chuzhou's army is the most strict, and there has never been a rule of promotion without merit... Whether it is entering the military camp or the personal camp, you can only start with white soldiers..."
The high-minded tribe members naturally looked down on starting from a pawn. They had long-term visions, but instead felt that this was just right.
The personal military camp is in charge of the rear without rushing in, but it is a good place to get experienced.
As long as you get along well with Shi Cong and Shi Jin, when you have the opportunity to make contributions, Shi Cong will naturally promote relatives.

The clan members of the Jia family are also ready to move.
But Jia Yan and Jia Yuan brothers are staring at their subordinate Qianhu and their deputy generals, preparing for the "big competition". Where can I have time to deal with these idle people?
Although there are only two levels of participation in this "big competition", the generals above are not idle either.
The lower-level Qianhu and deputy generals have good grades, and the main generals are also glorious; on the contrary, if the grades are too bad, they are easily dragged down and underestimated.
Now the two brothers lead their own army, and they are considered to be the most generals besides the marshals.
There are as many people who praise the two brothers as there are, there are as many people who slander them.
"The Grand Marshal is keen to recognize beads and can use people!"
"What? I heard that he was a distant relative of the Taiwei Mansion, so he took advantage of it."
"The two generals have fought many battles in the past six months, but they have never lost a single battle. They are both 'eternal victory generals'."
"It doesn't matter which marshal was following to go to war? It's just a loan. Feng Shuai and Deng Shuai took action. It's not easy to defeat the battle..."
"Even if you have old age with the Taiwei Mansion, your military achievements will be solid, otherwise you will not be promoted to general."
"The character is not good, and I can't go long... I used to bash General Shi, but now I'm holding General Shi down..."
Crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Jinling, and there are talents in both civil and military affairs.
The Jia brothers and Shi Jin's succession naturally blocked the way for others.
Even if other people now "know the current affairs" and want to join the army, it is one step too late for everyone.
Everyone is smart. Knowing that since Jinling has become the base camp of Chuzhou Army, the Taiwei must support the local generals in Jinling to calm the people's hearts.
With the Jia brothers and Shi Jin, there will be no one else.
Just want to make up for the plot, they can't get along with the Jia brothers and Shi Jin around them now, and they can only slander and provoke behind their backs.
After a while, the words also reached the ears of the Jia brothers.
Jia Yan has a flat-looking personality. Thinking that the team on the two brothers is now more glorious than Shi Jin, I feel a little embarrassed.
It was Jia Yuan and Shi Jin who had been with each other for many years, and he knew the character of Shi Jin best and knew that he was not that shameful person.
Speaking of this conquest, the two monks Feng and then Deng Jian and the Jia brothers made significant achievements. Because of the relationship between "the brothers in battle", they cooperated more tacitly, and they took advantage of Shi Jin, who fought alone.
"When the competition is over, I will go and ask for instructions with the Grand Marshal... Let's divide the troops..."
Jia Yuan discussed with his brother.
He had this idea for a long time, not only for Shi Jin's sake, but also for his brother's future.
Brothers belong to the same army, so they always have to divide the main and secondary. Because Jia Yuan made contributions, he became the main general and always suppressed his elder brother.
In this way, it is better for brothers to separate and lead an army each.
Although Jia Yan is not as powerful as his brothers, he is a wise Confucian general.
He was already well-read, and after joining the army, he kept writing about military books. He was not the one who could only talk about "on paper" and only stood out in the morning and evening.
Jia Yuan won all the way, and Jia Yan was credited with him.
Jia Yan didn't expect that he was just thinking that his younger brother was also for Shi Jin's side, so he nodded and said, "It's good..."
