The next day, the villagers all went to the village chief's house to sign up. Xiao Ding and Zhao Laixi also went to register. By the way, I also helped Fan Sanpang and Zhao Hu report their names.

The people in the village are simple, and no one dares to hide it without reporting it. Since the imperial court required all adult strong men to perform military service, the people below did not dare to object.

Village Chief He informed the people who came to sign up that they would prepare in advance after they returned, and they would go to the barracks in Yongzhou City collectively to report three days later, and then follow the arrangements of the army commander.

For a while, there was an atmosphere of grievance in the entire Luoxia Village. Although many people expressed dissatisfaction with the government's conscription, the small arms could not twist the thighs after all, and for the powerless ordinary people, all they could do was to complain a few words. Even a wealthy family like the Xue landlord's family still reported the names of all the adult strong men, and none of them were spared. In fact, in normal times, if the government recruits conscription, the wealthy can be exempted from conscription by spending money, but this time the situation seems to be a little different.

In the Great Song Kingdom, those who could enjoy the legal exemption from forced labor in the imperial court, in addition to official households, female households, monks and other monks, there were also people who were promoted in scientific examinations who were exempted from forced labor. In the past, if there was a pregnant woman or a young child to be raised, the man would not have to serve in the army. However, the situation of this conscription seems to be a bit special, and the official regulations stipulate that all adult strong men must go to the army.

Tian Dabao's family was also preparing for the people who were going to join the army, and the second girl found all the changes of clothes in Xiaoding and wrapped them together. Xiaoya is also preparing things for Zhao Laixi. Fan Sanpang and Zhao Hu didn't have anything in the first place, and after they lived in Tian's house, Xiao Ding paid for them to buy a few clothes. Now these clothes are all they have.

Xiao Ding took out a few water bags that he had collected when he entered Luoxia Mountain last time, and distributed them to everyone for them to put away.

Xiao Ding didn't know what items he needed to carry to become a soldier in this era. Village Chief He only told him to bring some necessities in life, such as luggage, clothes, water bags, etc.

Three days passed quickly.

On this day, the exit of the east of the village was already full of villagers, all of whom had come to bid farewell to the families of the military servicemen. Many family members had tears on their faces, wondering if they would be able to return from the service they had sent away.

Li Shi took Xiao Ding's hand and told him everything, and Xiao Ya also pulled Zhao Laixi and was unwilling to let go. Xiao'e, Erniu, Xiaofu, and Xiaozhu'er all stood there and looked at Xiaoding reluctantly, and even Tian Dabao came to the village entrance with a crutch to say goodbye.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Ding's nose was also a little pantothenic. Xin said that although he had crossed over, he felt the warmth of the family in the Tian family, and the Tian family did not ignore him because he was a fool.

Xiao Ding also instructed the family to pay more attention to safety, especially the Ou brothers and sisters. After all, the man in black who escaped was always a hidden danger. It is estimated that he will not come back in a short time, and there is no one at home who can resist the man in black, which really worries Xiaoding.

"Brother Ding, don't worry, leave the house to me, if the man in black dares to come again, I will definitely shoot him with a crossbow arrow." Ou Muyun saw Xiao Ding's worry, patted his chest and said.

"Well, you usually practice more accuracy in firing crossbow arrows, and when the time comes, you won't be afraid of the man in black when he comes." Xiao Ding patted Ou Muyun's shoulder and said.

"Brother fool, you have to come back early!" Xiao Zhu'er squeezed to the front and said to Xiao Ding with her face up.

"Well, the foolish brother will come back after the battle. You have nothing to do at home, you can practice crossbow arrows more, and when the man in black comes again next time, you can help Sister Mu Lin shoot the man in black. Xiao Ding stroked Xiao Zhu'er's hair and said.

"I will, brother fool, don't worry." Xiao Zhu'er replied in a milky voice.

"Xianggong, you have to promise me that you must come back safely, I am waiting for you to come back at home!" The second girl said in a trembling voice with tears in her eyes.

"I will come back safely, and you don't have to worry about me. Okay, Erniu, go back, eat well at home, and take care of your body. And Xiao'e, you see that you are thin, you also have to eat more, now our greenhouse can make money, so you don't have to always save money. ”

"Hmm......" Xiao'e and Erniu both nodded towards Xiaoding.

"Dad, mother, after we leave, the vegetables in the greenhouse will be handed over to you. Selling vegetables can let Dad and Xiaofu drive to Xiangmanlou, and when they get there, they will say that it is Tian Xiaoding's vegetables, and they will know. Xiao Ding came to Tian Dabao and Li Shi and instructed.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about it, although your father and I are missing half a leg, there is no problem in catching the car." Tian Dabao said angrily.

Xiao Ding and the others each led a horse, and the luggage and packages were placed on the horse's back. After saying goodbye to his family, Xiao Ding, Zhao Laixi, Fan Sanfat, Zhao Hu and others, a total of ten people, led the horse and walked towards the direction of Luoxia Town with all the people in the village who went to military service.

Yongzhou City is in the north of Luoxia Village, and you need to take the official road all the way north from Luoxia Town, which is about more than 200 miles away. Passing through various villages along the way, you can see the scene of the villagers saying goodbye.

If you walk more than 200 miles, it will take about three or four days, and if you ride a fast horse, you can reach it in about one day and one night. But the horses will not be able to stand such a gallop.

Since Xiao Ding and his family had horses, they didn't want to walk slowly with the villagers. They galloped all the way, leaving the villagers far behind.

It took more than two days for Xiao Ding and several people to rush to the city of Yongzhou.

Yongzhou City is worthy of being the capital of Yongzhou. The high walls of the city are thick, and the majestic atmosphere reveals a simple atmosphere. On the tall city gate tower, there are two characters of Yongzhou written in the style of official script.

At the gate of the city, there was a long queue of people entering the city, basically dressed like Xiao Ding, and at first glance they were people from all over the country who came to Yongzhou for military service.

Finally, they lined up to enter the city, and the streets of the city were still full of people from all over the country who were doing military service. Xiao Ding and a few people inquired about the location reported by the barracks, and rode towards Beicheng.

In less than a stick of incense, several people came to the barracks in Beicheng, only to see a plaque on the gate of the barracks, which read "Yongzhou Xiangjun Beiying" six big characters.

Next to the gate of the barracks, there was a house, and a sign was erected at the door of the house with the words "Recruit Registration Office" written on it.

Xiao Ding and a few people jumped off their horses and came to the door of the recruit registration office, which was already crowded with people in front of the barracks and here, all of whom were recruits from all over Yongzhou who came to report.

For these recruits who came to report, when they first arrived at the barracks, they couldn't help but be full of curiosity about the barracks. Many people craned their necks to watch inside the gate of the barracks, and if it weren't for the soldiers standing guard at the gate of the barracks, they might have already broken into the barracks.
