Chapter 695: Conscription
The sun is high, the sun is shining but not dazzling, and it is warm on people, and even the generals and people who paved the road on Mangshan are much more comfortable.
Even if no one urged them, they worked very neatly, and the cooperation was very tacit, the people opened the mountain and threw stones, and the Xiliang soldiers groped in a carpet while protecting the people, getting rid of those extremely dangerous beasts on the mountain, if you look down from the sky, you will see a very obvious crowd on a snow-covered land.
Outside the West City Gate also began to be busy, and the Xiliang soldiers built a simple wooden shed at the foot of the mountain. During the day, it has become a place for Junyi Fan Che, a group of scholars, to work.
In the days when Mangshan was excavated, every account was spent on a large amount of money, and a single herb picked on the mountain had to be handled here, and Jun Yi and Fan Che were doing these things with a few old village chiefs and scholars selected by Chen Jiangliu.
The thin young man was tightly wrapped one by one, and he was still holding the soup woman in his hand, but some of them still had pale faces, and every time Jun Yi heard the sound of this group of scholars coughing lightly, there would be a sentence in his head, "Useless is a scholar...".
Rao is heart no matter how much he ran the horse, but the work that should be done on his face was not revealed at all, Chen Jiangliu returned to the only open West City Gate in Qingniu Village in a black air, at that time Junyi was making a record of a basket of medicinal materials, and there was a prescription shopkeeper next to him who was estimating the price, but he heard Chen Jiangliu's gloomy voice sound
"There is an order to come down in Surabaya City....." Chen Jiangliu's voice had no joy or expectation, and the people only saw his gloomy face, even if his voice was not loud, it also attracted the people to stop.
The busyness at the city gate seemed to stop as if frozen, and the old village chief, who was in the corner of the wooden shed and was watching the progress with a cigarette pouch at any time, leisurely spit out the white smoke, put down the cigarette pouch and pot in his hand, and a pair of old but wise eyes locked on Chen Jiangliu, who was dressed in brocade but became thinner.
"Surabaya City is called by the emperor, and the reserve army is ......" Chen Jiangliu stood in front of the west gate, his body was empty, he lowered his head, and said clearly word by word, "All men over the age of thirteen in the family are in line with the imperial court call, until... Under the age of 35....... No, yes, disobey, resist!"
At the beginning, Chen Jiangliu could still control himself, but later, his upright appearance became distorted, his eyes were red, his face was hideous, and some of the people close to him retreated again and again.
When the people heard Chen Jiangliu's first sentence, they couldn't help but scream, no one thought that since the Xiliang soldiers broke the city gate, Surabaya City closed the door and refused to send troops to rescue, and then heard the news of Surabaya City for the first time today, but it was like this.
Conscription............
Conscription means fighting, war means death, who dares to judge, his family will return so well and safely, at the beginning of the stability of the five countries, when the war was divided, perennial conscription, it is said that the most neat return is only four out of ten,
The worst thing may not be able to come back, whether it is a corpse or ashes, at that time, the city was full of white flags, parents crying for their sons, wives and children crying for their husbands, crying all over the sky, gloomy and undispersed,
Now that Surabaya City has abandoned them first, no one has thought that the first news is not an explanation, not a pacification, but a conscription.
"Conscription, conscription of grandma's soldiers, what did you do in the morning, they turned a blind eye to our deaths, ah! Now we think of us, I bah, you are unkind to me..... Grandpa doesn't serve! Big deal, big deal, big deal, let's break up, grandpa, I will take the family to Xiliang ......."
Uncle Yang had just walked to the door with the ox cart, when he heard such a sentence, his eyes were round and his face was red and his neck was thick.
If it is said that in the past, the emperor ordered conscription, who would dare to say that it was not? Protect the country and protect the family, and only when there is a country can there be a family, no matter how ignorant the people are, these things will still be understood. Even if you don't want to, you have to have the ability to fight against the imperial court, but now under the rule of Jile Town, it is a different look.
At this time, in Qingniu Village, except for those who went to repair Jile Town and Yigan Village, all the villages under the rule of Jile Town gathered here.
All because Chen Jiangliu agreed to open Mangshan with Xiliang, although there are still people who are afraid, but when this benefit is said, Chen Jiangliu repeatedly assures that no one can resist this temptation.
In this era, it is fortunate that you will not die of hunger, and you can only rely on yourself if you want to live a good life, but it is precisely because of the fact that except for those who have gone up the mountain, the rest of the people are here, as soon as Uncle Yang spoke, the people woke up, and in an instant, the atmosphere in front of the city gate became a mess.
"This eldest brother is very right, the gate of Jile Town was breached in front of him, and we were about to die tragically under those knives, if it weren't for Jin Gongzi, how could we have survived until now?
Where were the people in Surabaya City at that time? Now that the conscripts are looking for us, we are still alive! If we die, what does they mean is that we deserve it?"
A well-dressed man and a woman stood at the gate of the city side by side, and the second to shout after Third Uncle Yang.
"That's it, that's it, if we don't go, we should be abandoned? Under the rule of Jile Town, if there are not 10,000 or 8,000 together, our lives are not lives? Now that someone thinks of us, why did you go earlier? I didn't even say anything...."
The third person who spoke was a young man, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was snatched up: "How? How can I say that I will go to the front line to die if I apologize to you? Not to mention the battle, I can chop wood on weekdays, and I have to find someone who can kill pigs? Who can kill the enemy? Isn't that going to death? If you want to go, don't drag us down, it's useless to apologize.....
"This little brother is right, if you want me to say, if you are in a hurry, you will simply settle down in Qingniu Village, even if you spend more money, I will buy a piece of land here to build a house, this huge moat, the old high city wall, lock the door, who can bear us?
"Yes, yes, if we don't go through this battle, who knows that this court will be like this, the front foot will abandon us, and the back foot can let us serve in the military as a matter of course...........!
When the voice of a resolute-faced young man fell, many people fell silent, no one wanted to leave, this is the land where they were born and raised! But no one can be abandoned, and the back foot will be picked up by that person to send him to death, what a cheap skin............
Jun Yi and Fan Che frowned and glanced at each other, their eyes full of indescribable chaos. The old village chief sat in the corner, and now it seemed to be getting darker and darker, Chen Jiangliu stood in front of the door, hanging his head and shaking his body, like a lonely and pretending to be a strong young wolf.
Jinxiu arranged the things in the space in the study, and when she walked to the city gate, she saw everyone like this...........
