Chapter 76 Time is running out "Buzz!"
There was another flurry of discussion in the team blocked behind Wang Fatty.
The Mongolian and Yuan Empire had a vast territory, so it was not surprising that there were a few barbarians with tall noses and blue eyes in the market, but it was rare for barbarians to come to work as subordinates for the Han people.
Moreover, there is more than a slight gap between her career as a civil servant, such as joining the army, and Mrs.
Ivanov's tall and majestic image.
However, discussions remain discussions, and when the registration process actually started, no one was willing to get close to Ivanov.
The reason is very simple.
Reading and literacy is an insurmountable obstacle for more than 99% of the people present.
The remaining few felt that trivial and complicated things like drawing maps and setting up sand tables were seriously inconsistent with the image of "strategizing" in their minds.
Instead of being burdened by these trivial matters every day, it is better to try your luck with other generals, and maybe you will have more chances of standing out.
"Alas" Zhu Bayi, who had been hiding in the yard and watching secretly, couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he saw the scene outside the door.
Talent is the most valuable not only in the 21st century, but also in the middle of the 14th century.
But now he has in his hands, not to mention legendary figures like Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang, even if they can read, they can't even make up to twenty people together.
Mr.
Su, Yu Changlin, Liu Ziyun, and some of the original ancient urban management officials such as Wu Erer, plus Wu Liangmou and others who had just received long-term human investment from powerful Wubao along the Yellow River, were all the "intellectuals" under his command.
"The team.
And people like Wang Da Pang, Zhu Chenze, Li Ziyu, Huang Laowai, and Lian Laohei, these "rising stars" who are gradually showing their prominence in the war and weapons manufacturing industry, actually only recognize their own names.
What made him even more annoyed and almost wanted to hit the wall was that when he summoned his generals for a discussion just now, he discovered that the new commander Xu Da, who he had high hopes for, was actually semi-literate.
According to his personal report, he only had a few words of more than two hundred.
Actually, they were all self-taught after becoming a centurion in the Red Turban Army, and many of the words cannot be guaranteed to be read correctly.
They are completely based on random guessing based on the radicals.
"God, please stop playing, can you?
This is a famous handsome man."
Looking at the embarrassed captain Xu Da, Zhu Bayi endured it again and again, so as not to spit a mouthful of old blood on the table. superior.
Therefore, the military discussion simply did not continue.
It is a direct copycat of future talent recruitment fairs.
Then, regardless of whether the generals below were shocked or not, he directly ordered the relevant people to implement the plan he said.
Fortunately, the entire Zuo Army had been ravaged by him for more than seven months, and they were no longer surprised by the fresh ideas that came out of his own governor's mouth from time to time.
Immediately following the principle of "understanding must also be implemented, and if you don't understand, you must strengthen your understanding during implementation", he stepped forward and took the order.
Then after a little preparation, he trotted to the gate of the manor and presented a unique "Talent Recruitment Fair" in front of the heroes who came to join the army.
As for the effect, except for Governor Zhu himself, no one present had any relevant reference in their mind, and of course they couldn't tell how good or bad the effect was.
However, overall, this novel recruitment plan is quite popular among the applicants.
After a while, except for the three unlucky guys Ivanov, Huang Ergou and Lian Laohei, there were people standing behind the other generals.
Some conditions were relatively simple, such as the sword, shield and spearmen, where two centurions were quickly gathered.
Led by Wang Dapang, the commander of the auxiliary army, he walked into the manor and continued with the next round of screening.
In addition to the traditional sword and shield wielders and spear wielders who are more popular, the general workshop that Huang Laowai is in charge of also attracts many people who come to join the army.
After all, those who can survive in troubled times regard hardship as a part of life.
As a craftsman, you don't have to take risks to fight, and you can also get the same military salary as a soldier.
This condition is tempting enough.
The more unpopular ones are the newly-born arms.
The artillery team headed by the second son of the Huang family only had about twenty people signed up.
The golden copper pipe in Lian Laohei's hand looked weird, and there were very few people who signed up to use it.
Of course, the most unpopular one is the staff department that Ivanov is responsible for.
From the beginning to now, no one has paid any attention to it.
"Wu Youtu, go out and help Ivan.

Tell him that you don't need to be a good writer to be a staff officer.
Anyone who can read more than 2,000 words or has a rough arithmetic can sign up and try.
Well, anyone who can do abacus well can also "Okay."
Seeing that Ivanov could not recruit anyone, Zhu Bayi had no choice but to relax the conditions and send Wu Liangmou to be this person's assistant.
Wu Liangmou was stunned for a moment when he was nodded, and then his face turned purple.
Youtu is his name, and Liangmou is his character.
According to the naming convention among gentry, calling others by their given names is a basic courtesy.
And calling someone by his first name together with his surname is tantamount to humiliation.
However, considering that the governor was a pig butcher, he couldn't care too much.
He took a deep breath, turned around, and trotted out to help.
"You guys, don't just sit here.
Go outside and take a look.
If you can help, just help.
We in the Left Army don't have many rules.
The only one is that no one can have free time."
Zhu Bayi said Not realizing at all that his words and deeds were disgraceful, he looked back at the other young masters who had just been sent by their respective families for "further training" and gave orders impatiently.
"It's the governor."
With Wu Liangmou as an example in front of him, the other powerful and powerful young men had no choice but to agree and walk out the door.
As for whether to help or hold back after going out, it is unclear.
"Talents, I need talents."
Looking at the bustling crowd outside the gate, Zhu Bayi continued to grit his teeth.
It's not that he has any special preference for scholars, nor does it mean that scholars must be far-sighted, but to maintain the normal operation of an army and ensure that every order is issued normally, the number of scholars in the team cannot be too small.
In addition, if you want to continue to improve these primitive artillery, muskets and grenades to the point where your brothers can compete with the Mongolian cavalry in the field without relying on terrain and vehicle walls, you need to rely on knowledge. power.
Obviously, Zuojun's current knowledge and talent reserves alone are unable to break through the technical bottlenecks he currently faces.
Without the help of external force, it means that for a long time to come, the firing of artillery and muskets will have to be maintained at an average of one shot every two minutes.
As for the original gunpowder fuse grenades and explosive bombs, whether they can explode after being projected, and whether they can break into several pieces after exploding, we have to continue to leave it to fate.
Note 1 If you still have the mentality of running away when you find an opportunity and preparing to embrace Zhu Yuanzhang's lap, what Zhu Bayi has done so far is enough to repay Sesame Li for his kindness.
However, after more than seven months of running-in, especially after witnessing the brutal actions of the Meng Yuan soldiers during the last Xuzhou Defense War, he has been pushed by fate and gradually integrated into this era, and gradually regarded himself as a member of the Xuzhou Army.
One element.
I can never go back to my original outsider status, and I can no longer think of myself as Zhu Dapeng two thousand years later.
In this way, he must do everything possible to preserve the Xuzhou Army as a whole.
Only by preventing the Xuzhou Army as a whole from being quietly swallowed up by the times like in history can we save the Zuo Army, the group of enthusiastic and bloody brothers around us, and Zhu Bayi himself.
Yesterday, when Chang Sanshi was discussing with him the customs clearance of the Xuzhou section of the canal, he inadvertently made him realize a problem that he had never noticed before.
The position of the Xuzhou Army was stuck on the bank of the Grand Canal, on this ancient artery that communicated between the north and the south.
The further north you go up the canal, the longer the areas you pass have been under Mongolian rule.
Judging from what Zhu Bayi has witnessed near Xuzhou over the past seven months, the longer the Mongols rule a certain place, the more seriously the economy of that place will be destroyed.
Outside the city, large tracts of farmland have become the private pastures of Mongolian grandfathers.
In the city, almost all commercial activities are controlled by Mr.
Semu Er.
The behavior of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty courts in printing banknotes like paper was tantamount to knocking the bones and sucking out the marrow of ordinary people under their rule.
With such all-round exploitation, the economies of various parts of the north should already be on the verge of collapse.
If there is no fresh nutrients transported from all over the south on the canal for a long time, it will be difficult to sit on the chair under the buttocks of the Mongol emperor in the metropolis.
Therefore, the Mongolian and Yuan court would not allow the Xuzhou Army to continue to exist under any circumstances.
Therefore, in the history of the time and space where Zhu Dapeng lived, the disappearance of Zhima Li and others was almost a historical necessity.
The huge Meng Yuan Empire was like a dying giant beast.

Even though it was dying, it could still trample to death a few provocative tiger cubs by concentrating the last strength in its body.
The Xuzhou Army was obviously the first to bear the brunt.
Therefore, Zhu Bayi must do everything possible to make Xuzhou Jun's milk tiger grow stronger and have sharper teeth.
Let this breast tiger grow wings before the Northern Yuan court attacks with overwhelming force.
Time is already very tight, maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next week, or next month.
Sooner or later, he will be facing the overwhelming troops of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.
Therefore, he could no longer be cautious, could no longer wait for ancient craftsmen such as Huang Laowai and Lian Laohei to figure out a plan to improve firearms bit by bit, and could no longer stop and wait for the entire era to catch up with him.
He must use all the methods he knows that can be used for reference, even if some of them involve drinking poison to quench thirst.
"What is the governor worried about at the moment?"
Chang Sanshi, who came to say goodbye, saw that Zhu Bayi always had a strong aura of anxiety on his face, so he had the courage to ask.
"If there is anything the common people can do to help, please tell me, Governor, and the common people will do their best."
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay."
Zhu Bayi then realized that there were outsiders around him.
He was stunned and responded with a smile.
"Brother Chang has already helped me a lot, why should I cause you more trouble?"
Zhu Bayi was full of respect for the third leader of the boat gang in front of him.
Not to mention the dozens of ships of food and grass and baggage that had been shipped to Xuzhou yesterday afternoon, the hundred men he had brought here today were absolutely worthy of his respect.
He deserves to be treated with courtesy.
Different from the bustling heroes outside who signed up to join the army, and different from the village men sent by several Wubao stewards to serve, all of the hundred men sent by Chang Sanshi could be regarded as good soldiers.
First of all, these brothers are much higher than others in terms of body shape and mental outlook.
Secondly, because they need to cooperate with their companions in making a living on a daily basis, these guys from the boat gang understand orders and discipline far better than ordinary people of this era.
On the original basis, with a little refinement, it can almost be used as a soldier.
In comparison, the quality of the villagers sent from each Wubao and the heroes outside the gate are somewhat uneven.
After selection, those suitable for training as combat soldiers may be less than one-third of the total.
During the training process, some of them will definitely continue to be eliminated.
In the end, I'm afraid I won't even have 20% of the people I can take with me to the battlefield.
"Actually, there is no trouble.
Just because the governor dared to sell Asu Bing like a donkey, Chang was willing to do whatever he could for the governor."
Just when Zhu Bayi didn't know how to explain his previous gaffe to the other party, Chang Sanshi smiled again and said very sincerely.
"Yes, yes, Governor, if there is anything else you need to do for me, please feel free to mention it.
Being able to take care of the Governor's worries is a blessing for Caomin, Caomin and others."
Several other Wubao people were preparing to say goodbye and leave.
The housekeepers were also afraid that the gifts they sent would not satisfy Zhu Bayi, so they stepped forward together and added loudly.
"This, this is not good," Zhu Bayi heard, and a few sparks rekindled in his already desperate heart.
After hesitating for a moment, he said calmly.
"It's okay, it's okay, Governor, Governor, just say it."
Several housekeepers were frightened at first, and then gritted their teeth and held on.
The gifts have all been sent to this one.
Instead of falling short, it is better to go all out to satisfy the other person's appetite.
Anyway, as long as the Red Scarf Army didn't come knocking on his door, he could at least save Zhuangzi's capital in struggling to get back on his feet in the future.
While he was panicking, he heard Zhu Bayi sigh again, and said very embarrassedly, "Except, in addition to the young masters sent by your family, can you help me find some more scholars.
If there are no scholars, the blacksmith , the carpenter and the accountant will do just fine.
I need a lot of scholars here, but I’m afraid it will be difficult to recruit them from the refugees.”
Note 1: Regarding firearms, here are a few words.
During the national wars at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the development of firearms advanced by leaps and bounds.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang invaded Nanjing, he consecrated a craftsman who contributed fire guns as a general.
In the battle between his subordinates Hu Dahai and Zhang Shicheng, both sides had records of large-scale use of firecrackers.
In the decisive battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, more than a dozen types of firearms appeared, including small general barrels, large and small iron cannons, large and small muskets, fire caltrops, and incendiary bombs.
By the time of Xu Da's Northern Expedition, artillery and primitive explosive ammunition had become popular to a considerable extent, and cultural relics have been unearthed to this day. s: After seeing Xiao Kuang’s thousand-yuan stamp, the drunkard was terrified.
The chats and support from everyone in the group are all visible to the alcoholic, and they are extremely grateful.
But I’m sorry to say that my hands are still shaking right now, so the leaderboard in the early morning of tomorrow is more likely to be delayed.
I will try my best to write.
The 280,000-word update this month has really exhausted me.
There are not many readers who read history books.
It was only in the morning that it showed up at the top of the new book list with the support of everyone's flowers.
Now it is down again, but if I want to speed up the update, I can't do it.
I'm sorry
