Chen County made the thunder furious, and the errand officials below were unlucky.

It's okay to be trained and scolded for nothing, the key is that some people still eat a board alive.

The board of the yamen is not easy to bear. The county lord was angry again, and the errand who hit the board did not dare to release the water, and the prisoner was the crying father who was beaten and called his mother.

Some thoughtful people try not to mention the matter of the widow in front of others, so as not to provoke the anger of the eldest lord and be beaten in vain.

Qiao Yong is such a person.

It's just that sometimes you don't want to cause trouble, but things come to you.

Chen County Commander suddenly ordered the household to count the silver, money and grain in the treasury office for the purpose of recruiting troops.

Qiao Yong is the scribe of the household, so naturally he can't escape this matter.

It seems that it is really as he expected before, the county lord is going to recruit soldiers throughout the county to help defend the city.

My hapless cousin didn't know if he could escape this.

......

......

Recruitment notices have been posted, and all applicants will be given five taels of silver for settling-in allowance first, and then two taels of silver per month for military salaries, including food and lodging.

This treatment is definitely generous.

Many people who were afraid of the army before couldn't help but have the idea of joining the army.

Of course, the number of people who actually go to join the army is still limited, and there are only a few dozen people in a day.

This is simply ironic compared to the tens of thousands of young and strong people in Xiangshan County.

Chen Xianling couldn't bear it anymore.

He ordered that all men over the age of sixteen must join the army.

In wartime, many rules have to be changed.

Otherwise, if everyone cowers, who will defend the city?

When the Japanese really attacked, did they rely on dozens of officials to fight hand-to-hand?

Chen Xianling didn't want to lose his head like this, so he decided to be ruthless.

After this order was given, the whole city couldn't help but jump.

The people of Xiangshan County are all in danger.

Who hasn't had a boy these days? Who wants their male to be a soldier?

These are troubled times, and there will be wars at every turn.

There are no eyes on the battlefield, if you poke a bloody hole, can you still live?

And they all know very well why Chen County Ling recruited soldiers at this time, it was to fight the Japanese invaders.

The Wako are even more ferocious than the Tartars, so how can they win a battle against them?

Therefore, the doors and windows of every house were closed, and the officials who came to search were closed.

As a result, Chen Xianling was even more furious.

The so-called county order of breaking the family, the order of destroying the door.

He may be helpless against those big families and local tyrants and squires, but there is a way to deal with the small people.

As long as he raised his foot and stepped on it hard, he could trample those people who didn't know the height of the sky into powder.

He ordered the servants to forcibly break open the door and get people, and not let go of any young man of school age.

These good sons were taken away by the officials half-locked and gathered together to start training.

Although they are reluctant but there is no way, they are already considered recruits, if they escape, they are deserters, they will be caught and punished with a cane for the first time, and they will be beheaded for the second time.

They prayed that the wouldn't come to Xiangshan County, even if they came to make a show, and not to attack fiercely.

Otherwise, they would really have to go into battle to meet the enemy, and with their three moves and two styles of Buddhist training, how could they be well-trained and murderous Japanese opponents?

Isn't it a gift for a person's head?

Qiao Yuan was also arrested.

Although he was warned by his cousin in advance but did not run away, he really couldn't do anything to leave his cousin and run for his life alone.

Now there is an army of more than 10,000 people in Xiangshan County.

Although the soldiers of this army wore one of them, and some of them did not even have swords, at least they were very numerous, and they looked bluffing.

Chen County Commander has already thought about it, and if the Japanese really come to attack the county seat, they will send all these more than 10,000 people to the city wall and besiege the city in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.

Most of the Japanese will be intimidated when they see this formation, as long as they retreat from Chen County, the purpose of the order will be achieved.

As for the food and clothing of the soldiers during this period, they naturally came out of the county treasury, and although there was a deficit in the books, it was not good-looking, but at least they saved their lives.

Just when Chen Xianling was complacent about his wise decision, he suddenly received a report that the imperial army's army had arrived in Ningbo Mansion and was heading in the direction of Xiangshan County.

Chen Xianling couldn't help but be stunned.

Court? Army?

He heard him right, right?

The imperial court actually sent a large army to Xiangshan?

Is it to quell the Japanese bandits?

He couldn't think of anything else.

"Who is the commander of the army? How many people came? ”

Chen Huan asked very excitedly.

The messenger who reported the news hurriedly said: "The army that the imperial court has come to exterminate the Japanese invaders this time is divided into two routes. All the way by land, all the way by sea. The army that set out by land consisted of 30,000 men and was commanded by Han Yang, the general of the Shence Army. There were 50 ships of 10,000 men by sea, led by Zheng Chenggong. ”

Chen Huan was originally a little skeptical, but what the messenger said had a nose and eyes, it didn't seem to be fake, but he was ecstatic in his heart.

Okay, okay. The imperial court sent a large army to exterminate the Japanese invaders, so he no longer had to worry.

He had already prepared a dagger at the head of his bed, and if the pirates invaded the city, he would use it to kill himself.

That way, even if he dies, his family will not suffer.

If he had not committed suicide and martyrdom but chose to survive, his family would definitely have been severely punished by the imperial court.

Now he doesn't have to kill himself anymore.

The army that came to suppress the Japanese invaders was tens of thousands, and they were all soldiers of the Shence Army, which was the most capable army of the Ming Dynasty, and even the Tartars were not opponents.

A small group of pirates is also filling the teeth of this army.

However, in this way, Chen Huan's recruitment of soldiers has become a redundant move. When the imperial army arrived, he had to let these recruits make room for the imperial army.

But in general, it is definitely good news that the imperial court sent a large army to come, and what is his contribution compared to this?

"You just said that the army sent by the imperial court has arrived in Ningbo Mansion? When can I get to Xiangshan County? ”

"If it's fast, it'll be there today, and if it's slow, it should be tomorrow."

"Yes, yes!"

Chen Huan clenched his fists and said: "Quickly notify it, the officials, officials, and squires of the county will be notified, and they will be ready to welcome the imperial court." ”

"The villain obeys!"

"Well, stand down."

Chen Huan was obviously in a good mood at the moment, and he even wanted to have a drink.

But reason told him there was still a lot of things he needed to prepare. If they can't serve the generals who came to suppress the Japanese comfortably, they can't contribute to their work, and it will be Chen Huan himself who will suffer the loss and be punished at that time.

Therefore, he must arrange in advance and think about every detail as much as possible, so that the generals who lead the troops cannot find a single mistake.

Especially that Zheng Chenggong, this person is now a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, and he must leave a good impression on him.
