"Grand Tutor, Marquis Dongsheng, how many of these eight thousand people do you think can meet the standards of fighting soldiers?"

On the edge of the Dongningwei Liaodong Military Academy, looking at the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army who were gathering under the command of Li Chengliang and his son, the crown prince Zhu Changluo looked at Wang Bing and Li Chengming with some curiosity.

"After all, these people are also the most elite 'selecting front troops' under Li Chengliang. There will be no problem in selecting five or six thousand people out of eight thousand people, right?"

In response to Zhu Changluo's question, Li Chengming looked at the tough soldiers in the school field again, and then answered confidently.

Although most of the time Li Chengming was only responsible for the logistics of the Habayashi Guards, he still had this vision after so many years.

"Haha, if the selection is based on the selection criteria of the Habayashi Guards, I am afraid that at most only 10% of these people will be selected. But now that the two hard standards of the Habayashi Guards, literacy and age, have been relaxed, five to six thousand people will definitely be selected.

It’s no problem and even more!”

Looking at the ‘Front Selection Army’ that had already started conducting selection tests under the auspices of Li Chengliang, Li Rusong and his son, Wang Bing also fully agreed with Li Chengming’s prediction.

Speaking of which, these 8,000 selected front troops, all composed of servants, are the core strength of the Liaodong Army and the real trump card in Li Chengliang's hand. So in terms of the physical fitness of these people, regardless of Han or Han, compared to ordinary soldiers

, which are all much stronger.

…

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, there is a memorial from Buddha Allah!"

Just when Wang Bing and others were discussing how many qualified soldiers could be selected from the front selection army in front of them, a personal guard ran over with another veteran Yulin Guard sergeant.

"Foala? What happened? Could it be those Jianzhou Jurchens..."

When Wang Bing heard that the memorial was from Foala, he couldn't help but frown. His first reaction was that the Jianzhou Jurchens who stayed behind were causing trouble.

"General, this time it's not the Jianzhou Guard, but the Haixi Guard. They slaughtered more than a thousand Japanese prisoners of war who were building roads. I guess it was Tan Hwa Lang who came to complain to His Highness the Crown Prince, hehe!"

While submitting the two memorials to the crown prince Zhu Changluo, the sergeant of the Yulin Guards who came to deliver the letter immediately talked about what happened.

"Bastard Gu Tiancheng, you actually have the nerve to complain. Did you read this book into a dog's belly? You can't even figure out your relationship? The four Haixi guards are my subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and a group of Japanese prisoners of war are nothing.

What the hell!"

After listening to the Yulin Guard's narration, Wang Bing couldn't help but became furious.

It turned out that just a few days ago, when several women from the Haixi Guards went out to collect wild vegetables, they were encountered by a group of Japanese prisoners of war who happened to be building a road nearby. Then, taking advantage of the carelessness of the guarding Habayashi Guards, ten

A few Japanese pirates actually sneaked out and caused trouble to the girl.

Fortunately, these Japanese pirates did not dare to kill anyone, so the last few girls in the Haixi guard managed to save their lives.

However, what these Japanese prisoners of war did not expect was that after learning that the women of their own tribe had been humiliated, hundreds of Haixi Guardsmen and civilians gathered together and directly killed more than a thousand Japanese Japanese in the vicinity, including this group of Japanese Japanese, who were building roads.

The whole team was slaughtered.

Originally, it was okay to end the matter at this point. We only lost more than a thousand Japanese prisoners of war. But the bad thing was that Gu Tianjuan actually ignored the persuasion of the Yulin Guards in charge of guarding and took hundreds of Japanese prisoners of war to find the sea.

The soldiers and civilians of the Western Guard wanted to express their opinions.

As for the soldiers and civilians of the Hercynian Guard, who were already victims, when they saw that Gu Tianchuan actually came to the door with the Japanese, they were still furious and directly gave away hundreds of Japanese prisoners of war, leaving him alone.

He ran back with a frightened face and complained to Zhu Changluo.

The Jurchens who guarded Haixi were also frightened when they learned the identity of Gu Tianjuan from the court official responsible for governing the area. They quickly begged their grandfather and grandma to let this court official help write the memorial.

They were sent to Foala to explain to Zhu Changluo.

"Teacher, please calm down. Gu Tiancheng is also a little anxious because of the heavy manpower losses during this period, haha!"

Seeing Wang Bing's furious look, Zhu Changluo, who had read the two memorials in his hand, smiled a little and said a good word for Gu Tianquan.

It turned out that, in order to meet the construction deadline, and because there were no protective measures at all, the 40,000 Japanese prisoners of war and laborers led by Gu Tianchuan had lost three to four thousand in this month alone. Therefore, after being captured by the sea

After the Western Guards slaughtered more than a thousand people at once, he was short of men and suddenly became a little anxious, which is why such a thing happened.

"If there is a shortage of manpower, then recruit from the Japanese country. It is not a question of whether he is short of manpower, but that he has not figured out the master and the slave at all! Even if the four Haixi guards are newly attached, they are still my subjects of the Ming Dynasty. How can we

To chill the hearts of my people in the Ming Dynasty for the sake of a mere guilty Japanese?"

Obviously, Wang Bing disagreed with Gu Tianchuan's "fair" attitude towards Japanese people.

You know, whether these Japanese are prisoners of war or laborers, in Wang Bing's eyes they are just a group of big talking animals.

Now that Gu Tianjuan is able to argue with the Haixi defenders about these Japanese pirates, will he have disputes with the immigrant Han people over these big animals in the future?

"Well, how are you going to deal with this matter?"

Seeing that Wang Bing's attitude did not mean to make the matter a trivial matter, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but asked with some embarrassment. Because according to his idea, it would be enough to reprimand Gu Tianchen and appease the Haixi defender. After all, this matter

It didn't have much impact.

"Of course we must deal with it severely and give all the Japanese in New Liaodong a warning to avoid them from doing it again in the future!"

You know, these Japanese were unlucky this time. They met the wild and untrained Jurchens like the Haixi Guards, and they directly took revenge on them overnight. If they had met kind-hearted ordinary Han people,

Maybe this matter will go away.

Therefore, in order to prevent this kind of situation from happening again in the future, and to set a precedent for this new Liaodong land, Wang Bing is preparing to take cruel measures again.

"Shulhaqi, you go back first and take your brothers to escort all the remaining Japanese prisoners of war to the Hercynian Guard. In addition, select some Japanese labor representatives from various places and bring them to the Hercynian Guard."

Watch the execution!"

"Moreover, order Xu Yihou and Wu Mantai to recruit another 100,000 Japanese laborers in the Japanese lands. They must be sent before the end of the year."

Finally, after issuing the order to escort all the remaining Japanese prisoners of war to the Haixi rearguard, Wang Bing ordered the recruitment of an additional 100,000 laborers from the Japanese state in view of the large number of labor losses, to be used as labor for the development of Liaodong.

…

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the selection of the vanguard soldiers has been completed. A total of 6,856 elite soldiers have been obtained. Please review by Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Not long after Wang Bing sent Shuerhaqi away, the Liaodong Army's first battle selection was finally completed.

According to the soldier selection standards set by Wang Bing and Little Fatty, the Eight Thousand Selection Front Army selected more than 6,800 qualified soldiers.

"Haha, the soldiers General Li selected today are pretty good. I hope that when I come back next time, I can see that all the Liaodong Army can be so elite..."

Looking at the army under the general stage, which was less than a thousand people than before, not only Zhu Changluo, but also Wang Bing couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Chapter completed!
