Zhu Jingxue's so-called letter of guarantee, if not a hundred, has written eighty copies, and she has long been familiar with it - as long as she commits a crime in the palace, she must write a letter of guarantee to the queen mother to admit her mistake and send it, so what is it to write one more now?

Seeing that Zhu Cixiao carefully put away the guarantee, Zhu Jingxue pursed her lips and said, "Now, now you can talk about it, where are you going to get soldiers and horses from?" Don't tell me that it's from Liaodong. ”

Zhu Cixiao said: "Come on, you really dare to think about it!" Transferring troops from Liaodong, not to mention the question of how to explain to my father and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, I can't afford to delay this time alone.

Before you came, we had gathered 7,000 soldiers and horses, and now that you are here, it will be even better, we can make do with it and estimate that we can gather more than 10,000 troops. ”

Zhu Jingxue said: "We didn't bring soldiers and horses here, except for the accompanying factory guards, there is nothing else, as for those secret factory guards, we can't mobilize them, except for the order from my father and Jinyiwei, otherwise, they won't pay attention to us." ”

Zhu Cixiao sneered: "Return the factory guard!" How dare you think about it! ”

Seeing that Zhu Jingxue's face was gloomy again, Zhu Cixiao hurriedly explained: "The third child! The third is the prince, he can temporarily recruit a guard battalion, more than 3,000 troops plus the 7,000 soldiers and horses we have recruited before, it is more than 10,000, presumably enough. ”

Zhu Jingxue said a little entangled: "10,000 soldiers and horses, is it a little less?" When we are in the palace, we can always hear hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses or even millions of troops, how much wind and waves can these 10,000 soldiers and horses set off when they are placed here in the Mughals? ”

Zhu Cixiao walked to the table in the hall, stretched out his finger and gestured: "This is the Mughal, not the Ming Dynasty."

More than 10,000 people and horses in Daming naturally can't set off any storms, and it is estimated that it is not much use to be placed on Xinming Island, but here in the Mughals, more than 10,000 people and horses are enough.

Of course, it is impossible to completely kill the Mughals, but there is no problem in turning the Mughals upside down! ”

Zhu Cihong also spoke: "Sister, you don't know, the barbarians are like this, there are more and fewer people, basically there is no big difference." When Brother Wang and I were in Penglai before, it was called a thrill. ”

Seeing that it was at a critical juncture, Zhu Cihong kept silent again, and Zhu Jingxue suddenly became anxious: "What's the excitement?" Tell me about it, I'm curious. ”

Suddenly felt a little itchy in his back, and Zhu Cihong, who couldn't bear to scratch it, continued: "When Brother Wang and I just arrived in Penglai, Zhang Kewang, who was stationed in the army, was nowhere to be seen.

Later, we didn't know until we went that this guy was with the troops of a guard station, and almost swept the entire Penglai, and built all the barbarians there to build a Jingguan.

Now we have more than 10,000 troops here, which is basically two guards, even if the combat effectiveness is not comparable to those combat readiness guards, it must be similar to the reserve guards, right?

We have so many troops now, as long as the barbarians don't send an army of more than 30,000 people over, it is estimated that it will be a situation of equal strength. ”

Seeing that Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cixiao were so sure, Zhu Jingxue didn't say anything anymore, and simply asked Xiao Taozi to clean up a room.

After Xiao Taozi reported that the house was cleaned up, Zhu Jingxue glanced at Zhu Ciyi: "Third child, what are you going to do now?" Do you want to go out with Sister A, or follow your two royal brothers? ”

Zhu Ciyi said with a smile: "I don't understand the recruitment, just let the two royal brothers arrange it, I'd better go out with Sister A." ”

Zhu Jingxue nodded, pointed to the clothes on Zhu Ciyi's body and said, "I went to change into regular clothes, you go out in a python robe, who can't guess your identity?" ”

……

Walking on the street full of shops and pedestrians, Zhu Jingxue said: "There is no difference between here and Daming, it is still the same familiar face, or the official language of Daming, what about the barbarians?" There are not as many barbarians as in the capital! ”

Zhu Ciyi said: "Sister, this is now the land of my Ming Dynasty, my father and emperor immigrated the people to Shibian, he must have chosen the people of Daming to come, how could he choose those barbarians to come to Shibian?" ”

Zhu Jingxue asked Xiao Taozi to buy two snacks, and after handing one to Zhu Ciyi, she said, "You taste it first, whether it is delicious or not, this thing has not been seen in Daming." ”

Looking at the strange-looking food in his hand, Zhu Ciyi said, "Sister, why don't you taste it first?" ”

The good-looking eyebrows rose upside down, and Zhu Jingxue said with a heaval: "If you want to taste it, you will taste it!" If it's delicious, I'll eat it too, and if it's not delicious, both of them are yours! ”

Zhu Ciyi said with a bitter face: "Sister, am I your own brother?" ”

After laughing evilly, Zhu Jingxue said, "You are naturally my own brother who can't be kissed." ”

Zhu Ciyi said: "Did the queen mother tell you to love her younger brother?" ”

Zhu Jingxue nodded and said: "This is natural, the queen mother nagged us every day, to respect the elder brother, love the younger brother, the brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold, I don't know how many times I have heard these words!" ”

"Then you're still cheating me?" After asking rhetorically, Zhu Ciyi continued: "Sister, this thing is not delicious, you just throw it away, what are you doing for me?" ”

Zhu Jingxue shook her head and said: "It's naturally not okay to throw it away, my father said that eating is most afraid of waste, and there are still many people in this world who can't eat, or can't eat a good meal."

If we waste some now, there will be less food that can reach the mouths of the people, and it is very likely that one person will go hungry because of our waste. So, in order not to waste it, it is naturally up to you to eat it all! ”

Zhu Ciyi tasted the snack in his hand with a bitter face, and suddenly grinned: "It tastes good, Sister can taste it." ”

glanced at Zhu Ciyi suspiciously, and Zhu Jingxue suddenly handed over the snack in her hand: "Since it's good, then you can eat it all, my sister loves you so much, you must not forget your sister's goodness!" ”

After reaching out to take it, Zhu Ciyi handed the little peach beside Zhu Jingxue again: "Sister Peach, this king invites you to eat!" ”

The little peach had no choice but to take it, and said: "Slave and maid, thank Your Highness for the reward!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Ciyi casually handed the share in his hand to the guards with him, Zhu Jingxue snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to Zhu Ciyi, who pretended to be a fool and sold cute people, but took the lead and walked forward.

After walking forward for a while, Zhu Ciyi suddenly tugged at Zhu Jingxue's sleeve, stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said in a low voice: "Sister, what do you see over there?" ”

Zhu Jingxue's eyes followed the direction of Zhu Ciyi's finger, but she saw a group of people crowded not far away, although there were many people, but under the maintenance of a group of officials, the order was not chaotic.

Behind the crowd stood a flag, on which was hung a piece of cloth, on which were written two big characters - conscription, and then behind a group of people were doing registration, and behind a few people was constantly wiping the sweat from their foreheads.

Zhu Jingxue said suspiciously: "What's wrong?" Isn't this just conscription? ”

Zhu Ciyi said: "Didn't you hear my future brother-in-law say that the Ming conscription will only take place at the end of August and the beginning of September?" It's November, and the conscription is actually starting here?

Also, if you look at the county order in the back, although you can't see what his face is, but seeing that he keeps raising his hand to wipe his sweat, he can't see where his face is going. ”

Zhu Jingxue sighed and said: "I really haven't heard of this, my father didn't tell me, and the one who has no conscience won't tell me this."

However, could it be that the big brother's people are recruiting in front of them? If so, this big brother's speed is too fast, let's come out on the front foot, and they will start recruiting on the back foot? ”

Zhu Ciyi said: "I don't know, anyway, the local county orders are here, and it is estimated that there is no big problem." ”

As they spoke, the two walked forward, slowly approaching the crowd, pricking up their ears to listen to what the crowd next to them was talking about.

"Didn't you say yesterday afternoon that the conscription was over, why did you suddenly pop up with another 3,000 places?"

"I don't know, but with three thousand more places, our chances of being selected are a little bigger, it's better than not catching up, right?"

The man who spoke at the beginning suddenly said with a sigh: "It's also interesting to say, we didn't want to be soldiers when we were in the Ming Dynasty, but now we have a chance to come here Assam." It's just that the emperor always wants to occupy the land of the whole world, but what is the use of occupying these lands? ”

Zhu Ciyi suddenly spoke: "The kid dares to ask this uncle, do you have land?" ”

The man said: "Naturally, there is, and the government has allocated the land early." ”

Zhu Ciyi continued: "Then does your son have land?" ”

The man said: "When the son has already made a will today, how can each person's 100 acres of Yongye field be less than half a point?" If I had a son, I would naturally have a hundred acres of Yongye land. ”

Zhu Ciyi nodded, and continued: "If your son gives birth to another son, will there still be land?" Is this land of Assam still enough? ”

was asked by Zhu Ciyi's words, and the man's face suddenly couldn't hold back: "The Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world and has countless lands, so it is naturally enough!" ”

Hey, Zhu Ciyi sneered: "What about after your grandson gave birth to a son again?" In another hundred and ten years, there will be countless times more people in my Ming Dynasty than now, where will I go to find land when the time comes? ”

The man said: "I will die eventually, once I die, this Yongye field will be taken back by the government, and then it will be distributed again?"

Besides, whether this land is enough or not is always something that the emperor Lao Tzu is worried about, what does it have to do with me, a small people? ”

Zhu Ciyi shook his head, and then asked, "Then dare to ask uncle, why did you come to be this soldier?" ”‘

Although the man didn't understand why Zhu Ciyi shook his head, Zhu Ciyi was thoughtful for several weeks, and it was not good to have a seizure on the spot, so he heaved and said: "Isn't it natural for a soldier to eat food?" In the past, no one wanted to be a soldier because they couldn't eat enough, but now not only do they have enough to eat, but they also have salaries and subsidies, plus all kinds of preferential treatment, so naturally everyone wants to be a soldier. ”

When Zhu Ciyi heard this, he no longer argued with this man, and after bowing down and thanking the man, he pulled Zhu Jingxue's sleeve and walked to the side.

Zhu Jingxue asked with curiosity on her face, "Why did you go?" ”

Zhu Ciyi said: "Is there any benefit in arguing with him?" If you win, you just win a fool, and if you lose, you are not even as good as a fool. ”

Just a few steps forward, Zhu Ciyi suddenly stopped and said to Zhu Jingxue: "Sister, what did you listen to the person next to you?" ”

Zhu Jingxue, who also stopped, listened to a person next to her: "I waited for my ancestors to ask for the Tang Emperor, and now I am waiting for the Ming Emperor to ask for the Ming Emperor, this is fate!" ”

Another man with a beard on his face said, "It's different, it's different." The ancestor was not a minister for the Tang Emperor, but he was just a soldier to eat food, even if there was that Lingyan Pavilion, how could everyone enter?

Let's ask for Emperor Ming, but we are breathing a sigh of relief for our Han family who are living abroad, and the Martyrs' Shrine is also for everyone, how can it be the same? ”

The man who spoke before said: "It is also said that when the Tang Dynasty was strong, our ancestors were rampant here, and the Tang Dynasty declined, our ancestors were angry here, and they were careful to survive."

Now that the Central Plains has changed to the Ming Dynasty, which is stronger than the Tang Dynasty, my status here is very different from before. From this point of view, whether the Central Plains is strong or not is really related to the livelihood of our overseas people.

Since the Son of Heaven wants this Mughal, then let's be this soldier and lay down this Mughal for the Son of Heaven, even if we wait for the battlefield, we can enjoy blood and food, and we can earn countless lands for future generations, which can be regarded as a great merit! ”

The bearded man sneered: "The merit of fart, what do you want to do with those who have and don't?" To be a good soldier and kill the enemy, and to lay countless lands for the Son of Heaven, is to support those overseas people like me, and do that meritorious bird thing? ”

Although this man's words were rough, the truth in them was correct, Zhu Jingxue and Zhu Ciyi couldn't help it for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing.

The man with a beard on his face was about to open his mouth to scold, but when he saw Zhu Jingxue and Zhu Ciyi's dress, he immediately swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

These two young children don't care about their bearing or dress, they are obviously only available to those rich and noble families, and they will inevitably find some trouble for themselves when they open their mouths to scold others at this time.

Zhu Ciyi saw the stupidity on this man's face, so he bowed down and said: "The kid has no form, listening to what the two uncles said is a little interesting, I couldn't help but listen to it for a while, it's the kid's rudeness, I hope you forgive me?" ”

The two of them were suddenly a little at a loss, and the man with a beard on his face hurriedly replied: "You can't afford this gift from a petty official!" ”

After bowing sideways to avoid the two men's saluting movements, Zhu Ciyi continued to ask: "I just heard from the uncle about how the overseas people are, but it seems that the overseas people will be angry?" ”

The man who spoke before said: "The little officials don't know, like in the past, when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, no one dared to provoke the overseas people, and those vassal countries only wanted to hold my Ming people to the sky, and their officials didn't dare to ask me about the Ming people."

Later, when the Tang Dynasty fell, those barbarians were eager to kill all of us overseas remnants, and who was looking at us? Speaking of which, after all, it is your own country that will be sincere to your own people!

Therefore, no matter what the people of the Central Plains are, there is no one in our group who does not look forward to their country being strong, whether it is called Datang or Daming! ”
