After Zhao Xu and Li Shishi were taken to a large school field, a person who looked like an officer gave a lecture.

The content is nothing more than military rules and iron laws, and since you want to be a soldier, these things naturally cannot be violated.

They were then assigned to a barracks for every 10 people. Zhao Xu and Li Shishi naturally got into one place, and they were very excited when they looked at the scene in the house.

Although the barracks are very simple, they are much better than living in shacks.

Most of the recruits were about the same age, and they quickly became acquainted.

They didn't have much time to chat, though, and were asked to go to the shower and change into clean clothes.

The clothes were provided by the army, and the crimson color was very eye-catching. Paired with the cotton armor distributed, it makes these somewhat thin children look a lot more heroic.

Li Shishi cherished this outfit very much, and Zhao Xu saw that Shi Shi was touching his clothes and looking at him, and hurriedly pulled him to take a bath.

Naturally, there are not very good conditions for bathing in the army, and at most everyone is asked to rinse and wash their bodies.

Zhao Xu and Li Shishi are children of poor families, and they have long been accustomed to simple bathing methods.

They wash and wipe off quickly to avoid the cold.

The cold is a terrible thing this season, so you have to be careful.

"Brother Xuzi, this dress is so beautiful."

Although his clothes were a full circle larger than him, Li Shishi did not dislike it at all, and he couldn't be happy.

"Look at you."

Zhao Xu shook his head and showed a rare smile.

He hadn't laughed in a long time, life had scarred his immature shoulders, and now he could finally catch his breath.

While the two were talking and laughing, they saw a group of people walking in their direction.

Zhao Xu subconsciously pulled Li Shishi, and then he stopped talking.

It must be some high-ranking officials.

Seeing these people in gorgeous clothes, Zhao Xu said secretly in his heart.

Walking in the middle was a man in his thirties, with a slender figure and clear eyebrows.

He was wearing a set of lake-blue Shu brocade robes, and his greedy Li Shishi's saliva was flowing out.

"Good girl, what a big official this must be, wearing such expensive clothes."

Although he had never seen Shu brocade, he knew that it was not a vulgar thing just by looking at this material.

"Brother Xuzi, what kind of official do you guess this noble man is?"

"Shh

Zhao Xu glanced at Li Shishi and made a silent gesture.

This oncoming nobleman is naturally Zhu Youlang.

It was his intention to form a new army for training, and he naturally couldn't rest assured that he would leave everything to his subordinates, and planned to come and see for himself.

However, Zhu Youlang went out of the palace this time because of a micro-service, and he did not bring a guard of honor.

Zhu Youlang approached and found that these recruits were all teenagers, the oldest should be seventeen or eighteen years old, with obvious childishness on his face.

Maybe it was the reason for his sudden appearance, the recruits were somewhat restrained, Zhu Youlang cleared his throat and said, "Don't be nervous, this official is here to inspect on behalf of the Son of Heaven." ”

It turned out to be a chincha!

Zhao Xu suddenly realized.

No wonder he wore such gorgeous clothes, it must have been a gift from the Son of Heaven, right?

"Do you know what the purpose of enlisting in the army is?"

Zhu Youlang glanced at everyone and asked in a deep voice.

Someone timidly replied, "It's for the sake of killing captives." ”

Zhu Youlang nodded lightly: "Yes, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." Since he is a dignified man, he should have a sense of responsibility to kill captives and serve the country. The thieves have stolen the Daming rivers and mountains for more than ten years, and countless remnants have shed tears in the dust. All we have to do is to recover the lost land and save them from fire and water. ”

Zhu Youlang paused and continued: "If you are big, you will say that this is for the country, and if you are small, you will say that this is for the family. I'm sure you or your family members have all had the experience of being bullied by thieves, right? When the thieves attacked Kunming, you had to take refuge in the city, you don't want to live this kind of precarious life, right? ”

"Yes, let's not be shrunken turtles!"

Soon someone responded, and Zhu Youlang nodded with satisfaction.

"If you want not to be bullied, you have to be strong enough. Hoping for the mercy of others is a sign of cowardice, and only when the fist is hard can it be hard to speak. ”

Zhu Youlang's words startled the officials who accompanied him. You must know that His Majesty the Emperor is the Son of Heaven, but he is preaching a set of ideas that force is the king's way, which does not match his identity as an old man.

Fortunately, these words are just said in private, and if they are spread in the court, they will definitely blow up.

"Dare to ask my lord, can we really win the battle against Dongyu?"

Zhao Xu thought for a long time and asked.

Zhu Youlang looked at Zhao Xu fixedly, and said solemnly: "It's not a question of whether you can do it, it's something that must be done." If we don't want to be slaves to the country, if we don't want to be enslaved like cattle and horses by the Dongju, if we don't want to abandon the Han culture, if we don't want to keep the ugly money rat tail, we must defeat the Donglu and take back what belongs to us. ”

The idea instilled by Zhu Youlang is very clear, the anti-Qing war is not for the Zhu family, nor for the sake of the powerful and noble, but for all the sons and daughters of the Han family.

Since the Song Dynasty destroyed Yashan, the Ming Dynasty has finally regained the self-confidence that belongs to the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it must not be easily lost.

Zhao Xu was really shocked, before he was just thinking about how to fill his stomach, but now it seems that life is indeed not as simple as filling his stomach.

In other words, although they are living a miserable life now, they are still free, while the people under the rule of the Eastern Captives are living like walking corpses, without the slightest dignity!

In order not to become such a walking corpse, in order not to be enslaved, they must rise up and fight.

This is not only for the Han family, but also for each of them!

It turns out that this is the meaning of their enlistment!

Some things are actually worse than that layer of window paper, which is clear after being pierced.

"Some of you have to go through a period of training, and those who pass the examination can stay. Those left behind may not be all soldiers, there will be some auxiliaries. ”

Zhu Youlang paused and said: "But I hope that even if you don't stay as a soldier in the end, everyone should have such a thought in their hearts, we are Han people, and the Han family will never be slaves!" ”

Most of the ordinary people in this era were ignorant and didn't mind being slaves as long as they lived.

Fighting for the sake of fighting is absolutely unacceptable to Zhu Youlang.

Zhu Youlang wanted them to know what they were fighting for.

Zhu Youlang just wants to plant a seed in their hearts.

Once the seed is planted, it will take root and sprout, and at most it is only a matter of time.

"You have to remember that even if the Dongyu occupies more places, it will be unpopular, and the Ming Dynasty will one day regain the lost territory. May you all see that day, when you will all be the merits of the Ming Dynasty! ”
