Chapter Thirty-Seven
Some people were stunned nearby, and some were afraid of being beaten again. They stood along Xiao Tugeng's hand regardless of the situation. As long as two or three people stood side by side, they would be much more neat in this chaotic scene. Everyone was able to set their positions and gathered into three square formations.
Zhou Jing glanced at the courageous Xiao Tugeng, and was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of his clothes behind him. When he turned around, he found that it was the prince who came.
Zhu Cixuan walked along the way and looked at several camps, but they were still in a mess, with a gloomy face, and didn't say much. When he came to the penultimate camp, his eyes suddenly lit up. Unexpectedly, he had already formed a formation. Although he didn't know why Zhou Jing was here, it was always good to be able to gather people together.
"Although I didn't stand horizontally and vertically, it was pretty good." Zhu Cixuan walked to Zhou Jing: "Are there six hundred people here?"
"Yes, Your Highness." Zhou Jing did not dare to say more and responded.
Zhu Cixuan glanced at the queue and felt that the square formation was a bit like a circular formation. The previous sense of surprise gradually dissipated. However, he still remembered the voice he heard, "I am the leader of the team", and then walked towards Xiao Tugeng, who was ranked first.
Xiao Tugeng bowed his head and did not dare to look at the prince.
"You called me just now?" the prince asked.
"Reply to the prince, it was the villain who shouted." Xiao Tugeng found his voice trembling with dull hair, and his legs kept shaking.
"Not bad." Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "One of these two thousand people can produce someone who is as brave as you, so you can give Song Hongye a reward."
When Xiao Tugeng faced the prince's praise, he didn't know how to answer, so he just lowered his head.
"What did you do before?" Zhu Cixuan asked.
"Go back to the prince, the villain used to be a mining man." Xiao Tugeng thought for a while and added: "It's the wellhead."
"Yintou?"
"Yes!" Xiao Tugeng talked about his major and became more confident. His voice no longer trembled and his legs no longer trembled. He commented: "It's the leader in the well. He wants to dig holes, prevent landslides, and find mineral veins."
"Not bad, it's still a talent." Zhu Ciyang nodded and asked again: "Is it a military household?"
"No, no." Xiao Tugeng quickly explained: "In previous years, when competing with people for mines, they had to be arranged in order to start, so they knew some rules."
Qi Jiguang really has a good vision in selecting people. These miners basically have military foundations. Zhu Cilang didn't know whether to be grateful or regretful after hearing this, because the Ming Dynasty's minerals were clearly state-owned, and now the country basically cannot receive mining taxes. Not only are there large households among the people occupying state-owned assets, but they also blatantly fight privately.
"What's your name?" Zhu Cixuan asked.
"Xiao Tugeng!" Maei Tou reported loudly: "1823!"
Zhu Cixuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Is it a method for counting people in the mine?"
"No..." Xiao Tugeng raised his head and suddenly found that the prince's skin was so white, tender and delicate, almost knotting his tongue. He said, "The mine only calls the mules and carts, and I'm afraid I'll lose it."
"I'm not afraid you will be lost." Zhu Cixuan imitated Xiao Tugeng's Hebei accent: "This is your recruits' number, which is convenient for counting, so that you can pay you money and calculate your merits. You will also engrave your names and official positions in the future."
In the lower class of the Ming Dynasty, the rate of duplication was so high that it was outrageous. Names such as aquatic, earth root, a dog, and some two... are everywhere. The only way is to number them and ensure that everyone has a unique code name, so as to ensure that the order is issued, executed, and feedback will not occur.
Even in a company five hundred years later, the employee number is still very important. Although some people may not know their employee number for more than ten years, they cannot be ignored in the human resources and finance departments - the role of this number can save them a lot of work.
Zhu Cixuan specially put some money on this issue to lay a good foundation for future military construction.
And from another perspective, if the military emphasizes numbering, it can build a sense of belonging and identity more.
Zhu Cilang patted Xiao Tugeng on the shoulder and said, "Tomorrow is the formal training, but I can tell you in advance that in our army, everyone should raise their heads, chests, and abdomen, and look straight. Those who cannot do it will be punished."
"The villain understands!" Xiao Tugeng tried hard to raise his head, but when his eyes touched Zhu Cilang's big red robe suit, it turned into water as if he had encountered the flames of ice.
Zhu Cilang smiled and turned his eyes to the man next to Xiao Tugeng.
"Why are you so thin?" Zhu Cixuan frowned and looked at the man who looked like a reed stick.
"Back, go back to the prince..." The man shivered, "I can run away, so I was taken in."
Zhu Cilang nodded slightly and left without saying anything. He quickly finished the last camp, with two thousand people, one more or another. It was obviously Song Hongye to ask for an integer. Some of them seemed to be recharged, but it was not ruled out that they could develop dark horses in the future.
Among the two thousand people, Xiao Tugeng was the only one who left an impression on Zhu Cilang. Thinking about it, this is no different from gold digging. There is always a little bit of Venus hidden in a pile of gravel. It would be great to have such one.
After Zhu Cilang left, Zhou Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. The prince did not ask him why he appeared here at all, so naturally he didn't know that a new recruit was beaten to death on the first day he arrived.
The two new recruits who had snatched the bed were physically punished. A big man general made a little darker and hit him in the back of his head with a stick, killing him directly.
It’s ridiculous that idiot actually wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, but he didn’t know that the prince valued much more these newly recruited soldiers than the Han general who only knew how to arrange the array!
Although these people are not as good as the Jinyiwei, which guard of the Eastern Palace has spoken face to face with the prince? In other words, His Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t take you guys to heart at all!
When Zhou Jing thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sad and even more confused. Why did the prince pay attention to these Tu Kezi who didn't even understand the rules?
"General Zhou, is there anything you want to announce?" A sinister voice suddenly sounded behind Zhou Jing.
"Eunuch Tian," Zhou Jing turned around, "Why are you here?"
Tian Cunshan pointed to the young eunuchs around him and said, "Your Highness wants Zhongjuan to be the instructor and send him to the flag. These are all from here."
"Send to the flag?" Zhou Jing thought that Tian Cunshan didn't understand the military system, so he mistakenly listened to the prince's meaning.
