After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

The next morning.

Zhong Ning took a carriage to the camp of the imperial guards guarding the palace.

In addition to the imperial guards on duty as usual, those present today are all candidates who are interested in signing up for the Firearms Battalion.

After all, the Firearm Battalion’s announced recruitment standards were twice as high as the welfare benefits of the Imperial Guards.

And in the future they will serve as the vanguard and main force on the battlefield, conquering the battlefield and pacifying the mountains and rivers.

Every soldier who joins the army has a dream of going to the battlefield, especially in the Imperial Guard camp, where there are not many opportunities to go to the battlefield.

Now that I have such an opportunity suddenly, I must seize it well.

Zhong Ning was wearing gorgeous clothes, but the style was very smart. She did not wear any pearl hairpins, but only tied her long black hair high and decorated it with a golden crown, looking very noble.

She came alone, with only Feng Xin as her personal guard.

As soon as I entered the military camp, I saw Qin Mo and everyone coming to greet me. They saluted and greeted me. Every word and action was extremely thoughtful.

"Your Highness must be exhausted from the long journey. Why don't you go into the camp and have a cup of tea and rest for a while?" Qin Mo suggested. After all, she was a woman, delicate and frail, so he had to serve her attentively.

"No need, let's go straight to the training ground." Zhong Ning glanced at them calmly, "I'll have plenty of time to rest later."

Qin Mo was puzzled by this look, and then he saw that Princess Zhaohua only brought one guard into the military camp, which was really commendable.

"Your Highness, please. All the soldiers are already lined up in the parade grounds, waiting for your inspection!"

"Ok!"

The training ground was very large, and there were quite a few imperial guards who signed up to take part in the selection.

However, after the first round of internal affairs study and examination, a group of unqualified ones were screened out.

After the imperial physicians took their pulses, they eliminated another group of people who were not in good physical condition or had hidden illnesses. The remaining group was composed of candidates with relatively high qualities in all aspects of the imperial guards.

There weren't many people left, probably only about three thousand.

Zhong Ning was led to the high platform, and immediately, thousands of people knelt down below, shouting in unison: "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Zhong Ning walked up to the large metal loudspeaker on the platform and shouted, "All soldiers, stand up!"

After Fang Ping used this large iron loudspeaker, Qin Mo felt that it was extremely suitable for training the army, so he ordered people to make a few more.

Now it just happened to be a good deal for Zhong Ning.

"Soldiers, you should know why I am here today!"

"That's right. We are selecting the best from among you to enlist in the Firearms Battalion. This is the first military camp in Dayong that specializes in firearms. It requires not only strong physical strength, but also high quality and indomitable courage."

"I believe you can all do this!"

"I can also assure you that our country's firearms will continue to advance rapidly in the future, and we will establish more firearms battalions."

"Each of you will have the opportunity to serve on the battlefield and make military achievements!"

"I believe that the people of our country will rely on their wisdom and courage to wipe out the four barbarians and unify the world!"

When Zhong Ning said this, the blood below was boiling. The soldiers raised their weapons high and shouted in unison: "Sweep away the four barbarians and unify the world! Sweep away the four barbarians and unify the world!" ...

Cen Jing, Zhang He and others were stunned.

Only Qin Mo was calm.

Where is this?

Back then, on the city wall, Princess Zhaohua only had to incite Yu Tu and Feng Wudu with a few short words, and they were forced to kill on the spot. All the soldiers put down their swords and returned to the camp obediently.

What's happening now is just a small scene!

Zhong Ning's voice continued: "You must be curious about how this palace will choose from among you today?"

"It's easy!"

Zhong Ning clapped his hands, and the first batch of firearms battalion soldiers who had been sent to the Imperial Guards, namely the ten standard bearers, immediately lined up in a team and walked to the platform in an orderly manner.

Facing all the soldiers, they stood in a row.

The whole process was very rigorous. No matter from which angle you looked at it, it was a straight line, which stunned everyone.

Now they are standing at the forefront, telling everyone with the most standard military posture and the fullest spirit that this is the standard!

"Soldiers, please look, this is the military posture!"

"Today we have chosen to stand at attention!"

"I will give you a quarter of an hour to learn. Stand in the most standard military posture. After a quarter of an hour, the timer will start. Those who can maintain the military posture for an hour will pass the first level!"

"Captain Luo!"

A soldier standing on the far right stepped out and said, "Here!"

"Today, you will be the one to demonstrate the essentials of military posture!"

"Other soldiers, please step down and hold up the horizontal line to standardize their movements!"

"Gather on stage in a quarter of an hour!"

"Yes!"

All the soldiers in the audience were dumbfounded watching this scene. They thought that entering the Firearms Battalion would be a very difficult test, but this is the result?

Even if you ask them to stand in a horse stance, it is better than just standing there!

It’s just standing at attention, anyone can do it!

Is a special assessment still necessary?

Qin Mo frowned slightly. He thought that Princess Zhaohua's move would be a big one, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.

If this is the assessment, doesn't it mean that their imperial guards have to be disbanded just for the sake of this firearms battalion?

He has confidence in his soldiers, it's just a matter of standing at attention.

Not to mention one hour, even two or three hours would be enough for them to do it easily!

But soon, no one could laugh anymore.

The soldiers from the Firearms Battalion used wooden sticks to erect horizontal lines in the crowd.

As Team Leader Luo on the stage explained and demonstrated over and over again.

Everyone must be in the specified area, with their heads straight, their arms hanging down naturally and straight, their fingers together, the tip of their thumb against their index finger, and their middle finger against their trouser seam.

The toes should be placed at a standard angle and the body should not cross the horizontal line.

In just a moment, the slightly messy team suddenly turned into horizontal and vertical lines.

Several deputy commanders of the imperial guards stared with their eyes wide open.

With just a few simple movements, the spirits of the entire imperial guards were instantly lifted.

After a quarter of an hour, the official timing begins!

The ten role models returned to their positions, setting a good example for everyone with the most standard military posture.

Zhong Ning also selected several captains of the imperial guards who did not sign up to be responsible for supervision and set standards. Once anyone could not hold on or fell down, it would be considered as giving up.

Qin Mo looked worriedly at all the imperial guards who participated in the screening. He was really worried that he would not be able to keep any of them. Although the number of people in this group was not large, they were all the soldiers he led!

After much effort, I was trained to the standards of an imperial guard, but ended up having to help others.

Alas, why is his life so miserable?

The sun gradually rose higher, dispelling the chilly north wind.

Qin Mo's sorrow hadn't lasted more than two quarters of an hour when he saw someone suddenly fall down from the crowd of imperial guards... followed by the second, third, and fourth...

In addition to those who fell down, there were also those who couldn't hold on, directly deviated from the movements, and rubbed their legs and arms on the spot...all of them were asked to leave the team.

Looking at the ten people standing on the platform, they were still standing there as firm as pine trees, not moving at all.

(60 words already? Why is it already 60 words? The number dropped by one-third today. Is it time to end it?)

(While typing quickly, I cursed...)
