Jiangxi, Nanchang City, under the Guangrun Gate.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: The former Taizu raised troops from Huaizuo, and after ten years, he drove Mengyuan to Mobei, and restored my Chinese clothes."

"However, today it has been peaceful for a long time, the Quartet is uncertain, evil qi breeds, ringworm and scabies are born in the ribs and armpits, and ghosts and ghosts are born in the remote."

"It is difficult to think about the generals of the country, Confucianism can lead the troops, and now I reopen martial arts, I want to find the good generals of Bi Yao and Dingyuan, behead Loulan under the horse, restore the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, and the day when the princes seal the wolf Juxu, I will not hesitate to seal the marquis."

"Specially, announce to the world, and make the salty people know."

In front of the crowd, a talented man in a long shirt and holding a scroll in his hand shook his head and read.

"Xiucai Gong, if you have the strength, can you go to the conscription?"

A strong man carrying a load of firewood asked the talented man.

"You, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, Your Majesty is not recruiting soldiers this time, but selecting good generals, and one of the conditions is a talent like me."

"Then how can you recruit Xiucai to be a soldier, how can there be such a thing in the world, a certain person is illiterate, Xiucai is afraid that he is not trying to bluff me."

The strong man looked angry, and the peddlers and pawns around him also followed suit.

"Xiucai is a soldier, it's really a strange story through the ages, don't you want to bully me into being illiterate?"

Seeing that everyone began to accuse him, Xiucai Gong immediately blushed, and was angry for a while, and he didn't care about the soldiers to stop him, so he hurriedly walked to the poster, pointed to the words on it, and read it word by word.

"This recruitment is to recruit officers, so select talents from 18 to 25 years old, do not join the army, pay two taels per month, disability pension, death in battle, retirement, and give priority to officers."

Na Xiucai's face turned red, for fear of being misunderstood again, so he read aloud the conditions for enlisting word by word.

"The monthly salary is two or two miles, but it's a lot, and it's worth a year's worth of firewood."

The stout woodcutter before licked his lips and said unwillingly.

"What is two taels of silver, after the retirement of this talented officer, he will raise people, do you know it, it is a serious official, I heard that the parents of our county are lifting people."

A man who went into the city to sell fish looked at the talented man with envy, as if he was already a man.

"What's the matter, didn't you listen to the Xiucai Gongnian just now, Your Majesty said, if you can seal the wolf, you have to seal the marquis, and the marquis, just like our founding Xu Zhongshan and Chang Kaiping, the glory of the ancestors, and the history of the famous miles."

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, and that Xiucai Gong made a big red face.

"Dad, the child is going to join the army."

In the main hall of the Li family, the previous Xiucai Gong knelt on the ground.

"Brother, get up quickly, don't make your father angry, we're only eighteen this year, prepare for the exam well at home, and sooner or later we can be lifted, why bother to be the head soldier of Na Laoshizi."

A woman stretched out her hand to help Na Xiucai up, but Na Xiucai seemed to be resolute and knelt on the ground motionless.

"Father, mother, the child is going to be an officer, Your Majesty said in the holy decree, if you can seal the wolf Juxu, you will not hesitate to seal the marquis."

"If the child is fortunate enough to be like Huo Yao and Ban Dingyuan, he will be able to shine on the lintel of our house, even if it doesn't work, after the child retires from the army, he can also be born as a person, and he can also give priority to the election of officials."

That Xiucai said unrelentingly about the benefits of joining the army.

"Brother, you just talk about the benefits of joining the army, say an unlucky word for your mother, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, if you have three long and two short, you won't live for your mother."

After the woman finished speaking, she touched her tears with a handkerchief.

"Mother, why do you say this unlucky thing, the child is to be an officer, and there is no need to charge the battle in person, besides, even if the child is really loyal to the country, he can still earn a generation for our family."

Seeing what his mother said, Xiucai Gong was a little angry, and hurriedly argued.

"Alas!"

With a sigh, the middle-aged man standing with his back in the main hall slowly spoke.

"Tengjiao, you have been smart since you were a child, you have never let your parents worry about enlightenment, and you have been a talent before you were eighteen years old, which is something that our Li family has never had in generations."

"Do you know how much your father expects from you, and I really hope that one day you will be able to enter the rank and the first, and go to the cabinet to pay respects."

At this, the man choked up a little.

"Dad, you often teach the child to put the family and the country first, and now His Majesty recruits us with lofty ideals, and it is also the time for us to serve the country.

Xiucai Gong did not relent, and then said.

"Dad, you once told the child that the ancestor of our Li family was originally from Bianjing, and during the Jingkang change in the Northern Song Dynasty, more than 300 members of the Li family died under the Jurchen butcher's knife, and only two ten-year-old children were spared by hiding in a dry well."

"The two ancestors then crossed south with the imperial court and settled in this land of Ganzhou, although they have lived in Ganzhou for generations, but our Li family still regards itself as a Hakka."

"Dad, you once said that this is our ancestors reminding us not to forget the national hatred and family hatred."

"Today, Your Majesty recruits us and other talents to join the army, and we must follow the example of the Tang Dynasty to enlist the sons of good families and revitalize the prestige of our Ming army."

"My father also said to his son that His Majesty now removed Wei and beheaded the 'Five Tigers', and then brought Fusun and Han into the cabinet, and took Yuan Butang as the secretary of the military department, which is the lord of Zhongxing."

"Now Your Majesty has revitalized martial arts, and the child is fortunate to be able to enter the brocade sleeves of the Son of Heaven, which coincides with the Holy Lord, when this person has made meritorious contributions, I hope that my father will fulfill it."

After the show finished speaking, he solemnly kowtowed to the man.

"Alas, okay, my father has repeatedly taught you brothers to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, how can it be your turn to break your word and get fat, this is against the teachings of the sage, if you are not stopped, I am afraid that after death, I will not be able to see the tragic death of the ancestors of the Li family in the Jingkang Change."

"Okay, okay, you can go to the capital to be loyal to our Li family for the country."

When Xiucai heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Brother, are you going to the capital to join the army?"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, several half-grown children jumped in from outside the hall.

The atmosphere in the house was solemn just now, and these children had been eavesdropping outside, and when they saw that their father agreed, they all jumped in.

"Brother, the capital is not far away, how long will it take for you to come back."

A girl asked crisply.

"Brother, the capital is so fun, don't forget to bring us something fun when you come back."

A ten-year-old boy said with a grin.

"And the good food."

Another slightly smaller boy was afraid that Xiucai would forget, so he added another sentence.

"Your brother is going to martial arts to be a soldier, to fight, not to go to the mountains and rivers, look at you a few excited, just thinking about eating."

Xiucaigong's mother's eyes were red, and she reached out and wiped her tears.

"Mother, don't worry, the child must protect himself, he will definitely be fine, and with your blessing, the arrows will go around."

Xiucai wiped his mother's tears and laughed and persuaded, causing several children to laugh too.

For a time, the house was full.
