Chapter 246: A Farcical Ending 4

"Little brother, did you say above, where is the army recruiting here, are there any restrictions?!" The generous treatment made Gao Yingxiang's eyes light up, but what he wanted to know was not this, as a horse dealer, he was not short of money, what he wanted was a background. Pen? Interesting?

"Well, I'll take a look." Li Guo glanced at him strangely, very curious, why didn't this person care too much about the silver, but after looking at the other party's tall and stout body, he shouldn't dare to ask, "It's Yulin Jun and Xiliu Jun, and it was also said above that if you are literate or have good riding skills, you can be exempted from the exam and recruited directly." ”

"Riding?!" Gao Yingxian's eyes lit up, as a horse dealer, how could his riding skills be bad.

"Thank you, little brother, we'll see you tomorrow." With both hands clenched into fists, Gao Yingshen strode away.

Immediately afterwards, Li Guo and Li Hongji left, but when he left, he still muttered to himself, "Two taels of silver, after the recruitment, there will be two taels of silver, and I can treat my mother." ”

In the Xuanfu border army.

"Fuck it, it's okay if this breath-holding hundred households don't do it, Lao Tzu will go to be recruited, and it's better to be a recruit for the emperor than to guard the bird's breath here." Man Gui ripped off his military attache uniform, carried a knife and went out resolutely, followed by several shouting subordinates.

He has joined the army since he was an adult, and because of his bravery, he has won a lot, but he can only receive a reward every time, but his official position is thunderous, and there is no change at all. Man Gui has no strengths except for bravery, and if he has nowhere to go, he can only endure it.

However, now that it is no longer needed, the emperor's conscription order directly rekindled Mangui's ambition to make meritorious contributions, and with resentment against the border army and a vision for the future, he resolutely gave up everything and went to enlist.

Jing Yuwei.

Zhao Shujiao was sorting out his belongings, and he also knew the news that the emperor sent people to the land of the nine sides to recruit soldiers, and he also knew the above exemption conditions, riding or literacy, as a former martial artist, how could he not be proficient in these. He didn't have any problems with these, but the only thing he was worried about was his age, he was already in his forties and almost fifty this year, but he didn't know if the emperor still wanted it.

He knew that the emperor's army was full of young people, and it was obvious that His Majesty liked young men who were full of moisture, and they were the same age as His Majesty. But it doesn't matter, this time you can recruit soldiers, you can also go to Hebei to recruit the city defense army, and if you can't do it, you can also go to Liaodong to recruit the city defense army.

In the end, it really doesn't work, it's a big deal to wait here, sooner or later the emperor will reform the military system of the nine sides. Zhao Shujiao is not good at politics, but he is very sensitive to military affairs, from this unusual large-scale conscription, he smelled a trace of restlessness, His Majesty couldn't help it, after fighting the Jurchens, he and Mongolia must have a war, and then there are those military gates on the nine sides.

"If I can be twenty years younger, no, even if I am ten years old, I really hope to follow His Majesty and make contributions!" Zhao Shujiao sighed, the application was full of silence, the eldest husband was returned as a horse leather shroud, and now he can only be trapped between the ridges, and he doesn't know if there is a chance to spread his wings and soar again.

In Shandong, in Hebei, in Shaanxi, in Shanxi, in Jiubian, the entire northern land, was stirred by this sudden conscription. Zhu Youxiao's conscription order invisibly changed the fate of many people. It's just that the once rebellious bandits have now become officials and soldiers, and those who were originally from the government have now become rebels.

Fate, sometimes it's really magical.

A month later, the army led by Li Tao and the rebel coalition army met unexpectedly at Qingjiangpu and confronted each other across the Yellow River. Today, during the period when the Yellow River was diverted and the Huai River entered the sea, the Yellow River did not have its own estuary and encroached on the Huai River, causing floods in this generation.

On the surface of the Huai River or the Yellow River, a large number of lucky boats are floating, this is Wang Siyuan's pirate fleet, a large number of ships are constantly swimming on the water, directly burning the ferry boat that Li Tao managed to get together, so that his idea of crossing the river and fighting is shattered.

Standing on the shore, Li Tao looked at the large number of pirate ships, with a sneer on his face, looking at him, he didn't seem to be sad at all about the ferry that was burned down a few days ago, and he didn't have the slightest idea of making a detour upstream to find a narrow place to cross the river.

"Go check the river boats again, hide them, and in two days they'll be ready for use." Li Tao commanded the staff officers beside him, looking at this appearance, he even hid a batch of ferries.

"Yes, General." The staff officer went to the place where the ship was hidden to check again to make sure that nothing was wrong.

Qingjiangpu.

Run here has been flooded with a large army, 100,000 troops hoarded here, so that this place is stuffed with people, the storage place here is directly occupied, the grain is moved away as military food, the warehouse is occupied, and it is used as a military camp.

"Haha, the leader of the king is really a young hero, and he can burn their ferry in one fell swoop, now it's up to them to cross the river." The leader of the Xu family stood up and said excitedly. As a literati, if you can't do it, you won't do it, and the best situation is that you are now, guarding the natural danger by yourself, so that the other party can't get by.

The month-long march has made him completely lose the idea of the Northern Expedition, what is good about the Northern Expedition, it is better to hold the south with natural danger, just in such a month, the family's land has almost doubled, and his own name has doubled several times, as for the concubine and the like, not to mention, he took it back directly, as a member of the coalition army, a prince, he has this right.

The smooth itinerary made him directly consider himself a prince, and began to plan a life that he looked forward to dominating in the future.

"Yes, yes, Chief Wang is really a young hero, a young hero." More people stood up and toasted Wang Siyuan, and kept saying flattering words.

Wang Siyuan's elusive pirate fleet, let him pay great attention, although the literati actually led the troops, but some strategic vision still has, they suddenly found at this moment, as long as Wang Siyuan's fleet is there, the imperial court can't fight at all, they don't have to go north desperately, directly guard the estuary danger, and live a small life of their own dominance.

As for Wei Guogong, who was sitting next to him, no one paid attention to it at the moment, except for the 1,000 cavalry led by his own headquarters, all the other officers sent out for training were wiped out by these literati cramps and bones. Without the soldiers and horses, he was nothing, and if it weren't for the last thousand cavalry to protect him, it was still a question whether he could sit here at the moment.

Laugh at!

A strange burning sound came from the corner of the hall, but the noisy and lively atmosphere made it impossible to detect this strange sound at all. Not only here, but also other places in the entire courtyard, there was such a snorting burning sound, but no one paid attention to it.

The only place where these voices sounded, if not from below, if not from the corners of everyone's attention, was also in the hall, but it was muffled by the noise.

"It's all lit!" At the back door of this luxurious homestead, seven or eight people gathered together and communicated with each other.

"It's all lit.!"

"It's ignited, the main line and the backup line are all ignited, and it will explode in a quarter of an hour."

"Okay, let's go, go back to the adults to get back to your life." The leader nodded and hurried away with his men. A quarter of an hour is just their estimate, who knows the specific burning situation, in case it is advanced.

Rumble!

A quarter of an hour later, a violent explosion sounded from this luxurious homestead, and the entire Qingjiangpu heard the explosion, and the violent shaking woke everyone up.

"What a beautiful black mushroom!" Looking at this small mushroom cloud, Wei Zhongxian's face was full of joy, he had made a great contribution!

At the same time, under the city of Nanjing, a row of six-pound cannons was neatly arranged, and the muzzles of the black holes were rushing towards the city wall, which made people tremble.

Rumble!

Hundreds of cannons were fired in unison, and the whole city of Nanjing trembled under the fierce sound of cannons.

Looking at the city wall that kept falling stones, Yu Zhigao smiled with relief, and finally made meritorious service and pulled back a game.
