A few days later, Meng found the Chinese again, and successfully released a news through the Chinese man's mouth that the reason why Meng Shishilang wanted to sell his house and land was to abandon his pen and join the army and go to the land of Saibei to avenge his father and brother!

Meng Shishilang wants to join the army?

As soon as the news came out, it was like dripping hot oil in cold water, and Mengjiazhuang exploded with a bang. Even the woman who went to the well to fetch water and the farmer who went to the edge of the field to plough the field said the same thing.

Within a few days, there were rumors in several nearby communities.

"Meng Shishilang really wants to join the army?"

"Is this still fake? I heard it with my own ears. ”

"It's not stupid, you can farm without studying, and if you don't plant a good field, you have to be a fighter."

A few peasants were talking energetically when another voice interjected, "Farming? That also has to be a field. ”

"What do you mean by that?" A farmer put down his hoe and rubbed his ears, "Meng Lao Liu and his two sons are all capable, so they can't have no money left, right?" ”

"I heard," the peasant who interjected squatted on the edge of the field, motioned for a few people to come closer, and deliberately lowered his voice, "Meng Guangxiao is not kind, and took advantage of the catastrophe between Meng Guangzhi and Balang Jiulang to bully orphans and widows, and seek to seize houses and land, forcing the Twelve Lang family to be cornered. When Twelve Lang was kicked out of school, didn't they all say that it was strange? At the age of thirteen, he was born as a child, and he could have been able to take the Xiucai exam with Meng Dalang, but now there is no hope. Twelve Lang wants to join the army, and the eight achievements are because of this, and there is no way to live. ”

"Huh?! Is this true? Wang Laosan, don't talk nonsense. ”

"How can Meng Guangxiao say that he is also the patriarch of the Meng family, and Meng Guangzhi is a cousin who has not come out of the five suits, can he do such a thing?"

"Can there be fake? Don't believe it, not only Meng Guangxiao, but even Meng Guangshun and Meng Guangming are not clean, and they work together to calculate their cousin's property. More than 60 acres of land in the Twelve Lang family were sold, and more than half of them were on the field, not to mention three funerals, and thirty were also done. can look at what happened to Meng Guangzhi's father and son, and what kind of life is the Twelve Lang family living now. ”

After saying this, everyone felt reasonable. To support the widowed mother, but also to take care of two widowed sisters-in-law, the land and house can not be saved, the imperial examination is hopeless, and there is no skill to be around, joining the army, even if it is to the border to the tuntian, at least it is a way out.

Thinking about it this way, it makes sense for Meng Shishilang to join the army.

Everyone in the world loves gossip, hearsay, and under the addition of oil and vinegar, the reputation of Meng Guangxiao and others is becoming more and more unpleasant, and Meng Qinghai in school was also asked by his classmates, so he took care of the face of the scholar and did not embarrass him in person.

Meng Qinghai didn't seem to be affected, and he was immersed in his studies all day long, preparing for the college exam in a few months. This move has reduced the rumors around him a lot, and he has also got the blue eyes of the county school instructor under the mistake, and bluntly said that this son is not panicked when he encounters trouble, calm and calm, this kind of bearing is rare, and he will become a great weapon one day. On the contrary, he was a little disgusted with Meng, who he had never met.

"Rumors are not true in the end, and the character of a child who has been driven away from school can be seen."

Knowing this, Meng just smiled indifferently, not to mention the discipline in the county school, it was the county school teaching, the state school was learning, and the government school professor had nothing to do with him. He hoped that Meng Qinghai could be admitted to Xiucai, so that he would have a lot of fun.

As the days passed, the rumors showed no sign of subsiding.

Meng Qinghai can be calm and calm, and irrelevant people can also be used as a topic of conversation after dinner, but the Meng clan people who were involved were so anxious that they burned their eyebrows.

After learning that Meng was indeed going to join the army, Meng Guangxiao couldn't sit still at all, or should I say, but anyone who could have a little kinship with Meng couldn't sit still.

Is Twelve Lang really going to join the army? It's worth it! He has become a military household, and there is more than one family who is tired!

After the conscription system flourished in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the system of health centers in various places in the early Ming Dynasty had not yet collapsed, and most of the military households were hereditary.

Once you are in the military, you will be a military household for generations, and your father will die and your son will succeed, and your brother will die until your family dies. If you want to be expelled from the country, unless the emperor opens an order from the court, or the children of the family work hard, the official is the secretary of the military department, and sweeps all the professional backgrounds with a fearless spirit, and becomes the minister of defense of the Ming Dynasty.

The latter is less feasible in comparison, and is an impossible task for the grassroots in particular.

Of course, Emperor Hongwu is also grassroots, but this grassroots is not the grassroots, and he knows the Tao personally.

What's even more deceptive is that as long as a military household dies or escapes, the vacant position must be filled by a relative. Regardless of whether it is the ancestral industry or the collection of lots, it also does not matter whether it is a household sticker, in short, it is a radish and a pit, until it is filled.

Empty salary? From Hongwu to Yongle, this move is no different from looking for death.

Adopted son replacement? In the early Ming Dynasty, when the age was strictly limited, there was no need to think about it.

It doesn't matter if Meng sells his land and sells his house, it's okay to leave Mengjiatun with his mother and sister-in-law, if he wants to join the army, it will be very bad.

With Meng Shishilang's innate conditions, let alone killing the enemy in battle, I'm afraid he won't even be able to lift his waist knife. After entering the army, I am thankful that I can survive for a year.

It doesn't matter if he dies, there are no other men in Meng Guangzhi's branch, and all that is left behind by Hachilang Jiulang is a girl, who will be found in the head of the military membership? Meng Guangxiao and others bore the brunt.

Once someone comes to the door, it is useless for Meng Dalang to pass the Xiucai examination.

Meng Guangxiao was anxious, he couldn't care about his reputation, but he couldn't care about his son's future. Meng Qianjiao has become a military household, and his family will be unlucky on the back foot. If you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't avoid fifteen, and one day, the road to the imperial examination of Dalang will be completely blocked.

The more I thought about it, the more bottomless I became, and finally found Meng's door again, with a sincere attitude, and specially covered a linen coat on the outside of the padded jacket.

Meng bowed and tugged at the corners of his mouth with his long hanging hair.

Family cards? Who is the fool?

"Virtuous nephew, don't be impulsive, at least think more about your mother."

Meng's expression was resolute, and he was ten out of ten scholarly spirits, "Uncle Hall, my father and brother both died at the hands of the Tartars, and even the bones have not been recovered, this revenge will not be avenged!" ”

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Meng Guangxiao's forehead, "Virtuous nephew, Tartars are not so easy to kill." Listen to the advice of the uncle, the land and the house are the foundation of a life, or not to sell. Don't think about joining the army anymore, Ansheng farms at home and wants to continue studying, and Uncle Cousin also thinks of a way. Guangzhi Quanxia has knowledge, and he will definitely not want you to be rash. ”

"But the second uncle's money and food?"

"It doesn't matter, I'll say it!" Meng Guangxiao hurriedly said: "They are all relatives, so you have to take care of a few points." ”

Seeing that Meng didn't speak for a long time, Meng Guangxiao thought that there was a door to the matter, and he didn't want Meng to make him angry directly in the next few words, and he didn't ease up for a long time.

"Thank you for the good intentions of the lobby, the husband is full of words, and it is easy not to change. What's more, people don't stand without faith, the cousin cares about family affection, but the little nephew doesn't want to embarrass the cousin, the Chinese have been found, and when the money and food of the cousins are returned, the little nephew will go to join the army. ”

"Virtuous nephew, listen to my uncle."

"Uncle Lobby doesn't need to persuade him anymore, the little nephew has made up his mind, and he will not regret his death!"

"Virtuous nephew, think again."

"Don't think about it," Meng waved his hand, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, "One person in the army, the whole family...... No, the whole clan is glorious! ”

Glorious X!

Meng Guangxiao stopped sweating, he began to cry, a fool is unreasonable, and he can't communicate. He was dizzy at the beginning, and he thought that the fool was "good".

Seeing that Meng Guangxiao had to persuade again, Meng simply ripped off his clothes, his eyebrows were upside down, and his face was full of hideousness, "Whoever prevents the little nephew from selling the land and the house is preventing the little nephew from joining the army, and whoever prevents the little nephew from joining the army is from preventing the little nephew from avenging his father and brother, and trapping the little nephew for unfilial piety and injustice!" It's the little nephew's enemy! The little nephew will not hesitate to fight for his life! The little nephew is not talented, although he can't wield a firewood knife, the kitchen knife is still fine. ”

"Virtuous nephew, killing is to pay for your life......"

"Don't worry about the uncle," Meng Phi let out a bared of teeth, turned around and took out a large book, it was the "Imperial Decree" personally set by Emperor Hongwu, his head was raised, and his eyebrows were raised, "The little nephew's family has "The Great Message"!" There is an order from the imperial court, and those who have a big edict in the family will be punished by one degree. The little nephew fights for his life, and the head of the person on the item is unhindered, at most he is exiled to the army, if he is in the army, he will save the entanglement on the road. ”

While speaking, he weighed the weight of the big edict, and compared Meng Guangxiao's head, he was eager to try.

He's a fool, and a fool can't be measured by common sense.

Looking at Meng who was holding a big edict in his hand and was full of energy, Meng Guangxiao's lips trembled twice, he didn't catch his breath, his eyelids rolled, and he successfully fainted.

Before falling to the ground, two epoch-making words came out of his mouth: I X!
