Chapter 7 Mobilization

In the past half a month, the same thing has happened in Taiyuan Mansion and even in the entire Hedong.

The night was dark, and in the field of the Loyal and Righteous Army in the southeast corner of Taiyuan City, it was more than half empty. And on someone's bunks, many soldiers were wide-eyed, thinking about their own thoughts, and stayed awake all night.

Half a month ago, the army issued an order to visit relatives, and all family members who were close to them had a half-month vacation, and after half a month, they would reassemble and then go on the expedition.

At the same time, a huge military wedding ceremony was carried out in the school field in Taiyuan Fucheng. Every day, single women and soldiers in Taiyuan meet and talk there. Many people will form a partner for a few short days, and then go to the cave house together, and have fun in the water.

In fact, this is not only the case in Taiyuan Province, but also in Hezhong Province and Hebei. The two parties held a group wedding according to the military ceremony, and then spent their wedding night in the designated barracks.

In the words of the prince Wang, it is to "create man with all his might, leaving the seeds of the loyal and righteous army"!

The soldiers were told that this was the biggest and most important battle since the formation of the Loyal Army. The army has issued a military order, requiring every soldier in the army to write a suicide note, and this battle, as it said, at least half of the people will die.

From the solemn expressions of the generals, the generals could also see that this would be an extremely cruel battle, which could determine the national fortunes of the Song and Jin countries.

This is the case in Hebei and Hedong, where there are pairs of young couples everywhere on the streets and outside the city, and the women are dressed differently, but the men are dressed in the same uniform of the loyal army.

Even if for various reasons, there is no soldier who "wins the beauty", there will be enthusiastic women and him for a while. For these soldiers who are about to set foot on the battlefield, this strange "gift" from the people, not only do they not feel frivolous, but they are more respectful and guilty.

"What kind of people have been forced into this dog's day!"

Many soldiers cursed secretly in their hearts, and when they looked up, they burst into tears. The women used their own humiliation to give physical and spiritual comfort to the men who were about to go to war.

"Half of the people have to die in this war!"

I remembered the serious expressions and solemn words of the officers. The mentality of the soldiers is even more resolute. Sacrifice your life to go to the country, see death as if you were going home, for the sake of the relatives behind you, all the sacrifices made are worth it.

"If I die on the battlefield, you will remarry immediately! The army will take care of you!"

"If I die and you have my child, please give birth to him and treat him well!"

"If I can get back, I will treat you well!"

Similar words, vows of similar content, every night, drifted in the ears of every passionate man and woman. Simple soldiers usually left most or all of their savings for women, just to make their lives better.

The sweet words on the pillow, the mountain alliance and sea oath between lovers, the lingering resistance between lovers, the drums of the Angelica camp sounded, and the reluctant men and women only parted with each other in tears.

The soldiers said goodbye to gentleness, walked into the familiar barracks, packed their bags, and began training day after day, waiting for the day of departure.

"When a man returns, he takes back his heart! There are still thieves doing evil outside, and the people are in dire straits, and life is worse than death. Can you still go to war like you? ”

"The army let you get married, and the girls followed you, not to make you languish and depressed! As a soldier of the loyal army, it is to kill thieves and protect the people! Be spirited, don't lose the people of the loyal army, let the people look down on you!"

Since the army openly recruited marriages, there have been tens of thousands of soldiers in Taiyuan Mansion alone

The bachelor became a "husband", from a hairy boy to a "man". Coupled with the married soldiers in the army, the number of "men" jumped from 30 percent to about 80 percent overnight.

The situation is similar when I want to come to Hebei. In this way, among the 60,000 soldiers who went on this expedition, there were at least 40,000 "men".

In troubled times, human life is like mustard, and many people do not have enough to eat. However, the soldiers' three meals a day were basically provided, and there was also a fixed amount of money. For many single women, being able to marry a soldier of the Loyal and Righteous Army at least means that they can eat enough and no longer worry about their livelihood.

Some people are even complacent, for fear that the loyal and righteous soldiers will not look down on them, and when choosing a mate, they unconsciously lower the conditions, what they look like, what they talk about, as long as they are loyal and honest.

The two rivers have been war-torn for a long time, and more than half of the population has been lost, and even the frenzied influx of refugees from all over the country is only about half of what it used to be.

As for the four or five million who disappeared, they were all ruthlessly and undignified in the flames of war.

This is also the fundamental reason why the soldiers of the two rivers "left seeds" before the war.

This is the sorrow of these people in this special era. There is no one who is not worthy of anyone, it is just that people do not have the right to choose.

Hua Xiangrong walked down the street of Daimyo's house, looking around as she walked. In the bustling crowd, she suddenly found that there were many young men and women, one pair after another, and the number was so large that it was a little overwhelming.

No matter how tall or short the women were, they were almost all young, and there were very few middle-aged women, and the young men who accompanied them, even if some were wearing civilian clothes, could also see that these people were all sergeants of the Loyal Army.

Seeing Hua Xiangrong, many sergeants stopped to greet her. In this famous city, Hua Xiangrong, as the head of the Xuanhua Division, Wang Song's righteous sister, because of the frequent performances, the soldiers of the loyal and righteous army basically know each other.

Seeing so many sergeants talking about love, Hua Xiangrong was secretly frightened, only afraid that a thrilling battle was coming again.

"Master Hua, you also came out."

Yang Zaixing and a few sergeants, each carrying a large bag of things, were hurrying away, and when they saw Hua Xiangrong, they quickly stopped.

"Brother Yang, what are you doing, why did you take so many things?"

Hua Xiangrong couldn't help but ask in surprise when she saw Yang Zaixing and others with large bags and small bags, as well as mountains on the carriage.

"Lord Hua, there are many sergeants in the army who are married, and Wang Xianggong wants to send something, so let a few of us come out to buy it. You see, there is no way to do this, both hands are full. ”

Yang Zaixing was sweating profusely, obviously buying a lot of things.

"Is Wang Xianggong back?"

Hua Xiangrong was stunned and asked involuntarily.

"Wang Xianggong has just returned from Hedong, and it seems that he will go on an expedition in a few days. Maybe he will come and say goodbye to the flower master in person. ”

Yang Zaixing left in a hurry. Hua Xiangrong stayed for a while, remembering that Wang Song might have to come to visit him, so he hurried back.

"Sister, this is the letter that the soldiers stuffed to you, and it is already the seventh."

Sun Xiangxiang put a letter on the pile of letters on the table, turned around and sat down on the chair next to Hua Xiangrong.

"Sister, once the sea was difficult to turn into water, I don't think about these things that men and women love."

Hua Xiangrong shook her head, holding a book of poetry in her hand, but her eyes turned to the window again.

"Sister, you're not young anymore, why don't you think about it? Don't go to someone like my sister to be old and yellow, then there will really be no one to want. ”

Sun Xiangxiang looked at the sky without makeup, fat

The powdered flower wanted to look, thinking of her perennial empty boudoir, she couldn't help but sigh leisurely.

Hua Xiangrong's thoughts, others don't know, but she understands it. Hua Xiangrong gave all her heart to the strange man of the Great Song Dynasty, but she never considered whether the other party liked her or not.

Moreover, the other party never knew her intentions, and always treated her as a sister and confidant, which also made Hua Xiangrong often depressed and sad.

But come to think of it, only such a man can make the conceited and talented Hua Xiangrong alone so far.

"Sister, I'm entangled in everything now, where do I have time to think about these things."

Hua Xiangrong Qiang squeezed out a smile and said softly: "Sister, you don't think about starting a family, if you want a child, I can send a message to Wang Xianggong and ask him to find you an orphan and support your old age in the future."

Sun Xiangxiang was pleasantly surprised, grabbed Hua Xiangrong's hand, and said in a loud voice: "That's a good feeling, sister thank you here."

She is over forty years old, and it is not easy to find a man she likes, if she has a child, it can be a sustenance, and she can be relied on for the rest of her life.

"I am a melancholy guest in the world, I know what is going on in my tears, and I remember my life in the sound of broken intestines. Big brother, do you know what is on my mind, and I am also very melancholy at the moment. ”

Sun Xiangxiang left, Hua Xiangrong stood alone in front of the window, muttering to herself, her eyes looking at the green of the garden, her eyes were confused.

Suddenly, a figure flickered outside the window, and a hearty voice came, and then a group of people walked in.

"Sister Xian, are you there, I'll come to see you."

Hua Xiangrong was full of joy, came out of the back hall, and said, "Big brother, you're back." The end is what makes the little sister very worried. ”

Wang Song waved his hand, and the sergeants put a few boxes of things on the table, and then retreated one by one.

"Sister Xian, this is some of the specialties I brought from Hedong, and I specially brought them for you to taste."

"Big brother, I heard that you are going to go on another expedition, you have to take care. Fuzhou affairs, but there can no longer be any more. ”

After Hua Xiangrong thanked him, the topic quickly turned to the upcoming war.

"Sister Xian, don't worry, brother, I'm not the hairy boy I used to be."

Although he had just returned from Hedong, Wang Song's face did not show any tiredness, but looked radiant.

He glanced at Hua Xiangrong and said softly: "Sister Xian, you are past the age of marriage, have you ever thought about finding a man, lest you always be single and make my brother and me worry."

Hua Xiangrong's face changed, and she also replied softly: "Don't worry, eldest brother, little sister hasn't considered the matter of men and women yet." My brother bothered. ”

Wang Song sighed softly, and still wanted to persuade him, and when he saw the pile of letters on the table, he smiled.

"Sister Xian, this should be a letter of affection from the soldiers in the army. To tell you the truth, many female soldiers in the army received such letters. According to my eldest brother, you should take a look and don't miss the opportunity. ”

Hua Xiangrong's face turned red, raised his head, and said with a forced smile: "Big brother, I'll talk about this later." When will the eldest brother leave and when will he return?"

Wang Song laughed softly: "After about five or six days, when the soldiers return to the team, the army will be drawn immediately."

He stood up and said loudly: "Sister Xian, this evening, my brother will set up a drink in the "Drunken Immortal Building" in the city, meet a group of friends, and someone will come to pick you up." We'll see you there. ”

Wang Song left, and Hua Xiangrong looked at his back, secretly worried. She went back to the house, grabbed the letters on the table, and threw them all into the fire.

If you can't grow old with the person you like in this life, even if you are lonely until you grow old, what's the matter?
