On the main road, the crowd is surging, and the sound of neat footsteps is like thunder. A long army was marching in one direction in unison. The crowd was full of young and strong people, refreshed, with blazing eyes, striding forward. The marching procession stood in front and looked behind them, with no end in sight. In the dead of night, when I looked down the road from the top of the mountain, I saw a little spark, swimming like a galaxy in the darkness. At each distance, someone took the lead in singing the military song, from the front of the group to the back of the group, as if to remind everyone around them that this force was powerful, invincible, and not afraid of insidiousness. At the head of the procession was a Humvee, led by two rows of flag-raising cavalry, each holding a crimson military flag with the word "Yan" written on it, reminding all passers-by that the identity of this unit was different. And the person riding on the back of the leading horse is Zhao Yige.

Zhao Yige took over as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and uniformly deployed all troops across the country. He re-recruited troops, rectified military discipline, trained elites, and then used military exploits to stimulate the enthusiasm of soldiers and soldiers, and almost completely eradicated the shortcomings of Qi State's past mercenary and weak combat strength in a dozen days. This is unique in history. Because many soldiers are dependent on generals, they do not obey the orders of new officials, but Zhao Yige did it. He first transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses from Jiang State, integrated them into the camp of Qi State, and then let 20,000 soldiers of Qi State distribute them to all parts of Jiang State. Jiang and Qi have always had a grudge, and they are uncomfortable everywhere when they go to a different place, and it is difficult to integrate with the locals. Zhao Yige led by example, telling them the ideal of the demon unifying the world, and also told them that if they still retained the old vulgar views, it would be tantamount to being cocooned and self-bound. Old ideas stagnate society, and solipsism makes people feel hostile to each other. Zhao Yige's high-minded talk at the beginning naturally made everyone not take a look at it, and secretly said that he would only talk on paper and pretend. Zhao Yige has long understood that resolving misunderstandings between people is not an overnight thing, but the most important thing is perseverance. Difficulties will always exist, and if they are not solved, they will pile up, and eventually people will take them for granted.

A few days after taking over the generalissimo, he mobilized the men and horses of Jiang and Qi. He personally recruited troops in the Qi State, and almost no one dared to sign up at that time. After all, no one wants to be born and die for the demons. They will think that after joining the army and fighting, will their victory be the success of the demon race or the degeneration of mankind? People always want to be high, if they suddenly go home one day and see that the people in their own fields have become spirits, sitting at the head of their own bed, and taking away their own houses, which one can accept it if they change to others? The problem is that this cow has become a sperm, and you can't beat it. You want to leave, but you're going to have no home. On the day of recruitment, there were no demons present, Yan Che was still in Laiguo, and the rest of the demons were all over the place. Zhao Yige sat on the recruiting school ground, and the seats for recruitment have always been vacant, and every house on the road where people usually come and go, and no one has come to apply. Even the soldiers on Zhao Yige's side were muttering in a low voice, saying that a nameless young man with a grade of no more than twenty could be a generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and the future of the country was in jeopardy.

No one appeared, Zhao Yige got up and came to the center of the school field. Shouting into the streets: "Do you want to guard your homeland not by your own relatives, but by the enemies you have always hated? If you can rest assured, then today this country can no longer have an army, because the army is to protect the people who love the homeland, and the parasites that live in the country have no right to struggle." Today you stand up, and tomorrow your name will be known to all. Now that the demons rule our country, if you want to be free, you should be self-reliant, and stay at home and wait for the enemy to break in. ”

As soon as the words were finished, the streets remained silent, and no one came out to take a tentative look at the tightly closed windows. The official in charge of registration also came helplessly, saying that Qi Guo has always hired people to join the army with a lot of money, and his impassioned speech will not be effective, and people attach more importance to benefits for glory. But Zhao Yige thought in his heart that if the locals really had such thoughts, it would be better not to have this kind of soldier, once they joined the army, they would become moths in the army, so Jiang Guo's soldiers were far superior to Qi Guo in terms of combat passion, and Qi Guo has always been undefeated, which is nothing more than relying on sophisticated equipment and a large number of cultivators. With such a corrupt public sentiment, Zhao Yige burst into tears in his heart. He remembered that in the slave trading market in Meng Chaocheng, he couldn't help himself for ten years, and deeply experienced the taste of being controlled by others. If a person doesn't even care about his own life and allows others to trample on it, no matter how much he saves it, it will not help. Zhao Yige regards Yan Che as his goal, he only hopes that human beings can also be strong to that extent, and it is indeed possible for human beings to do that, but sometimes people not only do not believe in others, but also do not believe in themselves.

Just as Zhao Yige was about to remove the recruiting facility, a person appeared on the street.

Zhao Yige also saw that person, ragged, white, oily, sloppy, and holding a broken bowl in his hand, obviously a beggar.

The beggar walked to the school ground, Zhao Yige himself felt surprised, watched the beggar get closer and closer to him, and finally stood in front of him.

The beggar said that he was going to be conscripted into the army, and Zhao Yige carefully looked at his body, skinny, yellow and thin, and he might have to be fed for several years to train him to become a qualified soldier, to be honest, he was not suitable for being a soldier. But as the first person to apply, Zhao Yige must not send him away, hoping to find a reason to stay in him, after all, when he was in the cage, Zhao Yige was pierced with a pipa bone, like a waste person, Yan Che still saw his potential at a glance. Zhao Yige doesn't have that kind of vision, so he can't be sloppy with anyone who can become a pillar.

The beggar flicked his broken sleeves and said lazily: "If you don't have food, it's easier to eat and drink in the barracks." ”

This beggar's words really shocked Zhao Yige, he didn't expect that there were still people who were willing to go to the barracks to mess around, such people must not blend into the barracks and become black sheep.

"Then you don't use it, the barracks are not for you. ”

"If you drive me away, you won't be able to recruit a single soldier in the future. ”

"If all the people who come here want to get a piece of the people's tax money, then the country has been eaten by moths before it is broken through by the enemy. Take advantage of the fact that I didn't get angry, and leave quickly. ”

"Okay, you kid, you're young, and your mouth is not small!" At this moment, a group of people came from a distance, all beggars. The leader was on his toes and walked towards the school with a ruffian air. As soon as they saw that this group of people had bad intentions, the soldiers began to gather, and Zhao Yige asked them not to stop them. The beggar led by Zhao Yige came to Zhao Yige, and when he looked at his age, Zhao Yige scolded: "You say we are moths? Back then, like you, he gushed on stage, promising that everyone would get a generous retirement pension after the war was over. But in the end, the general swallowed the money, and when we asked for it, he beat us all to serious injuries and threw us out of the barracks. Back then, we fought bloodily on the battlefield, and finally ended up in this end, everyone knows that soldiers are just pawns of the emperor and princes fighting for territory, and it is not a pity to die, and your high-sounding appearance in front of us really makes people laugh off their big teeth. Seeing that you became a generalissimo at a young age, and you came to recruit soldiers in person, I'm afraid that a stinky kid like you will be scared when he arrives on the battlefield, right?"

Faced with the ridicule of the beggar leader, Zhao Yige was not angry. He heard that the other party was also a person who was deeply framed by social inequality, but in fact, everyone had different experiences. He also knew from the beggar's words that he was not ambitious, but that he had a bad fate, and needed to have a righteous way to correct his name.

"Now is not what it used to be, dare to ask the demon king whether the king has done such a thing so far? Are all the corrupt officials swept away by Princess Jiang Mengsheng? There are relief for the people who are unable to make a living in all cities and towns, but anyone who has hands and feet can eat enough as long as they work, how can there still be people who are skilled to beg? I'm afraid that you can't let go of your past, and you insist on going against this world that has become better. You say I don't know how to fight, I don't need weapons, you can all go together, but if you hit me, I will reward each of you with a hundred taels of silver. ”

As soon as Zhao Yige said this, it immediately had an effect, these beggars had never seen so much money, especially when the officials put a box of silver in the ring, everyone was a little nervous. In order to test Zhao Yige's truth, the beggar leader was the first to go up and fight him. He really underestimated Zhao Yige too much, don't look at Zhao Yige's young age, he has reached a level that his peers can't reach. Zhao Yige pointed in the air, and sent out sword qi from his fingertips, which just hit the beggar leader. The beggar's chest seemed to have been beaten with a smack, and he rolled on the ground before he touched Zhao Yige. When the other beggars saw the leader fall, they stepped forward to surround Zhao Yige. Zhao Yige just made a sweeping leg on the ground, and the beggars turned over on their backs, but they couldn't afford it.

Seeing the moaning beggar, Zhao Yige said: "It's a pity, I see that you are all well-trained people and used to be the pillars of the country, but you have given up on yourself, and your life's skills have been forgotten." If he really rejoins the barracks, over time, it will not be a problem to increase his rank and become a knight. Someone will make amends for the mistakes made by selfish people in the past, but if you don't start all over again and are still obsessed, the beauty of the country will have nothing to do with you. ”

The beggar leader got up, and finally saw that Zhao Yige's skills were indeed extraordinary. But his thoughts were not shaken by this, he just wanted to count them in front of him, but he didn't expect to be taught a lesson. When the leader was about to leave with the beggars, Zhao Yige stopped them.

"Just now you said that your pension was swallowed up after you retired, and it is really difficult to live in such an injustice. According to military law, each person will receive a total of fifty taels of silver after enlisting and retiring from the army, and I will give you the silver here in advance. Then he opened the box of silver and motioned to the beggars for money.

The beggars couldn't believe it for a while, thinking that Zhao Yige was having some bad idea. It wasn't until at first the thin beggar took the money and was safe and sound, and the others rushed forward to take the money, and finally the beggar leader reluctantly took the money. After each beggar took the money, Zhao Yige told them to go home and rest tonight, and come back the next morning to report. The beggars all laughed, saying that the beggars were their home all over the world, and if they ran away that night, Zhao Yige would be helpless against them. Only the beggar leader looked at the white silver in his hand and was silent. In the end, he asked: "Are you really at ease to let us go? This fifty taels is not a small amount, and we can buy a house in the countryside, a dozen acres of land and a cow, and we will have no worries about food and clothing for ten years." We are beggars, and it is normal for us to turn our faces and not recognize people. ”

"I have never treated you like beggars. As soon as you stepped into the school, I decided that you would be the ones who would join me in calming the troubled times. You will not leave, because there must be many people who have left the country in the same way as you. Take the money, go buy a nice dress first, and don't come sloppy tomorrow. With a wave of his hand, Zhao Yige and the soldiers and officials left the school grounds, leaving the beggars empty.

A beggar counted the silver in his hand, and suddenly decided to run away, but was grabbed by the beggar leader. The leader asked him why he ran, and the other party laughed and said that he had met a fool who gave money for nothing, and after taking the money, did he wait for the fool to come to his senses and ask for money? This sentence annoyed the beggar leader and gave the beggar who was about to run away a slap in the face, and the others were also shocked by his actions. The leader pointed to the noses of all the people and said: "The person who deceived others the most in my life, I have been deceived in the past, then it will be over, but I will never be a person who does not keep his promises." That little general will definitely be a big general in the future, and I believe what he says. I decided, tomorrow I will go to the army. If any of you take the money and run, you will be against me!" said this, and the beggar leader stepped out of the ring, and the others looked at each other and silently followed him.

In this way, Zhao Yige still appeared on the school field early the next morning, but by the time he appeared, the long queue that had applied for the draft could no longer see its tail. As soon as he sat in his seat, he saw that yesterday's beggars had already signed up for the army, and they had changed their outfits, and came to Zhao Yige to apologize for yesterday's rude behavior. These people who came to apply were all beggars who told everyone what happened to Zhao Yige in every corner of the town last night, and the people believed that this time the king of the country was no longer a beast that regarded human life like a mustard. On this day, Zhao Yige happened to recruit 5,000 recruits.

A few days later, Lin Rusheng, the Zhenyuan general of Jiang State, came over with 20,000 Jiang soldiers and horses, and brought 20,000 veterans of Qi back to Jiang State according to Zhao Yige's instructions. As soon as Lin Rusheng saw Zhao Yige's high-spirited appearance, he seemed to see Yan Qinghou's shadow again, but it was a pity that Yan Qinghou had quietly left, nowhere to be found, and there was a sense of vicissitudes of life. After a short run-in, a new army was born, which was a well-disciplined and well-behaved army, and no longer had the corrupt system of the past. People are full of expectations for tomorrow, so Zhao Yige selected 4,000 people from the army and rushed to the coastline of Haizhou in the east. The coast was ready, and a hundred warships were docked on the shore, just waiting for the valiant men to step in, ready to ride the wind and waves.

Everyone remembers why they have bridged the gap between them. They may all be enemies, and one of them has hurt the other, but none of them have done what they intended. At first, the Qi people and the 20,000 Jiang people could not get together, and there were often private fights during this period. Until Zhao Yige told them that the purpose of fighting wars in the past was an individual act, involving too many innocent people, but in the future, wars will be fought for the sake of no more wars in the world. No one is born an enemy, they just don't know how to communicate.

Everyone keeps this in mind, because everyone wants the world to be war-free.
