The recruiting location was selected in the open space next to the county office, and Liu Goudan and Chen Shuangxi went to enlist together after lunch.

I don't know if I don't know, but I was really shocked when I came.

Mom, there's a lot of people here.

Shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot.

Looking at this posture, it may not be done in a day.

The enthusiasm of everyone is really high.

"Double happiness, there should be no limit to the number of people in this conscription, we came so late, we won't be unable to recruit it, right?"

"Probably not."

Chen Shuangxi is obviously very bottomless.

This long queue is almost outside the door, and even if one person counts it, it will take most of the day.

"It's all here, what's the point of dwelling on this."

"Yes, what comes is safe. What does the reader say, right, I heard my husband say it. ”

"Haha, you went to the entrance of the village to eavesdrop on Mr. Qiu's teaching, right?"

"Don't listen to nothing, don't listen. Mr. Qiu was so loud when he was studying, it was difficult for me to hear it when I passed by. ”

"That's right. By the way, what do Mr. Qiu and his gang often talk about? ”

"Mr. Qiu said so much, I can't remember. However, the most common thing Mr. Qiu said was that Zi once said..."

The two of them chatted as they moved slowly forward.

Anyway, it doesn't look like they will be able to take their turn for a while, so there's no need to rush.

"Double happiness, I haven't asked you yet, why do you want to join the army."

"I want to join the army and kill the Tartars to avenge my brother."

Speaking of this, Chen Shuangxi's eyes were a little red.

"My brother died tragically at their hands, and I want to avenge him!"

Chen Shuangxi clenched his fists and said loudly.

"Well, I'm pretty much the same, but I want to avenge the tragic deaths of the villagers."

Liu Goudan sighed and said: "In this village of nearly a hundred miles, every village has inevitably been slaughtered by Tartars, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we have a deep blood feud with them." ”

"Well, fortunately, Master Wang called, giving us a chance to stand up and be people."

"For our Han family, we should stand up and fight, and never kneel to be a slave."

The more the two talked, the more tempered they became, and they smiled for a while.

But they soon discovered a problem.

The people who came to apply were basically men with big shoulders and round waists, and these people were burly and full of tendons.

Even if it's a little worse, the body is there.

And Liu Goudan and Chen Shuangxi are much worse.

They are clearly not fully developed, and their stature appears to be somewhat thin.

"Hey, they don't filter by size, do they? If that were the case, wouldn't we be brushed off? ”

"Probably not, people can't be disguised."

Although the two of them said no, they were a little weak in their hearts.

But are they coming? I can only boil it slowly.

Now, even if they want to leave, they can only be pushed forward by the people behind them.

I don't know how many hours later, Liu Goudan finally came to the front.

How many people are left in front of you? Liu Goudan can even see the officers and soldiers in charge of registration.

These officers and soldiers are so young, right? They must have just been in the army for a short time, right?

It seems that the Ming army treats the recruits very well? Fully given the opportunity, Liu Goudan only hopes that he can also mix up like these officers and soldiers.

In this way, when the clothes return to their hometown in the future, it will be good to show off in front of their parents and fellow villagers, and their father's face will also be bright.

Although it is difficult to get out of the army? But I had a thought. It's better than shaving food in the yellow earth for a lifetime.

"Next!"

Soon it will be Liu Goudan's turn? But he was still dreaming freely.

"Next!"

The officer in charge of registration looked a little impatient.

"Ahh

Liu Goudan exclaimed in surprise and pulled out of his imagination.

"In, I'm..."

"What's your name? Where are the people? ”

"Ah, my name is Liu Goudan, and I'm from Taoyuan County."

"Why did you apply?"

"I want to serve the court."

"At a young age? The tone is not small. ”

The officers and soldiers snorted coldly and said, "Tell the truth." ”

"Really? I want to kill the Tartars? Isn't killing a Tartar a servant to serve the court? ”

Liu Goudan explained a little anxiously.

"There's some truth to that."

"You're going to sign up for the Tiger Army's new army? One tael of silver a month after joining? But you must listen to the command and not leave the camp without permission? Otherwise, it will be dealt with in accordance with military law. You've figured it out. ”

Liu Goudan originally only thought that he could eat and live in the army, but he didn't expect that he would have money to take. And it's a tael of silver a month, which Liu Goudan never dreamed of.

"I do, I do!"

He hurriedly replied, for fear that the other party would regret it if he said it slowly.

"Press the mudra here."

The officer and soldier clicked on a page.

Liu Goudan hurriedly dipped his thumb in the ink, and then pressed it hard.

"Okay? Step back. Next. ”

Chen Shuangxi followed tremblingly? Said respectfully: "I'm also from Taoyuan Village?" My name is Chen Shuangxi. I joined the army to kill the Tartars? Also, there is a full meal. ”

Chen Shuangxi straightened his waist and looked very confident.

"I haven't asked yet? You're done. It's kind of interesting. ”

The officer and soldier quickly wrote down Chen Shuangxi's message, and then asked, "Are you with that Liu Goudan?" ”

"yes."

Chen Shuangxi nodded and said, "We are a village, growing from childhood to adulthood. ”

"Alright, let's press the mudra. Over here. ”

Chen Shuangxi hurriedly dipped the ink and pressed the handprint.

In this way, he is considered to be in the army.

The new army gathered three days later, so Liu Goudan and Chen Shuangxi still had time to go back to see their families.

Especially Liu Goudan is still a little guilty about his father, and he wants to have a good chat with his father when he goes back this time.

The two left the county seat together and returned to the village together.

Each goes back to his own house, and each finds his own mother.

As soon as Liu Goudan entered the house, he shouted loudly: "Dad, I was chosen." ”

"Ah, chosen?"

There was some disappointment in Liu's honest tone.

In fact, he still has a hint of fantasy that his own kid will not be chosen.

"And when are you leaving?"

"Three days later."

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and the room was silent.

"That's it, it's a big deal."

Liu Laoshi sighed and said, "Kowtow to your mother in a while, she's cleaning up your things." ”

"If you go to the army, you can do a good job, and you can't be petty like you are at home. After all, no one is used to you like that. Don't rush to the front when you fight, just follow behind and shout and cheer. The battle that can be won is not inferior to you, and the battle that you can't win is useless even if you rush to the front. ”

Liu Laoshi chattered: "Dad has no other requirements for you, I don't ask you to be a marquis, I don't ask you to get ahead, but I ask you to come back alive and well." Dad is just a son like you, and I'm still waiting for your kid to give me a pension. ”
