Blood spurted out several feet, and his head rolled on the ground several feet.

At this moment, everyone was stunned, and all the stove owners simply couldn't believe their eyes - the head of the chartered merchant was cut off like this!

"Kill, kill......"

The steward, who had been following Ji Deshun's side, was stunned for a while before yelling at the salt patrol over there.

"Quick, catch, catch them......"

"Who said that he wanted to arrest this official!"

Without waiting for the steward's words to finish, Zhu Mingzhong sneered.

"I want to see who dares to appease the envoy in this Jiangbei!"

Appeasement?

When the steward was confused, seeing those salters with knives and guns killed, Wu Pinya said in a loud voice.

"The pacification envoy of the Daming Jiangbei is here, who dares to be presumptuous!"

Just one sentence was enough to make Yan Ding, who was about to rush over, looked at the young man who looked like a boy in astonishment, although they were illiterate, but a few days ago, they also knew with the notice sent that the current Jiangbei is the world of Jiangbei's pacification envoys, and the fear of power makes them dare to rush up again. Just standing there cowering,

"The grass, the grass people knock to appease the ......"

When the frightened steward hurriedly knelt down, Zhu Mingzhong just snorted coldly and ignored him, but walked to Wang Dezhu's side, looked at the whip marks on his back when he was stripped of his clothes, and asked in a deep voice,

"You don't want to be a stove farmer?"

Wang Dezhu, who was stared at by this prince-like official, didn't react to what was going on, and when he asked, he hurriedly said.

"Who, who wants to be a stove people!"

Wang Dezhu's words immediately caused a chorus of echoes around him, perhaps because Ji Deshun was beheaded like that, or maybe because they believed that this person was the legendary Qingtian Lord.

"That is, my lord, but whoever is a person, who wants to be this stove people, lives in a thatched layer, eats pickles, cockroach sauce, and has to eat white maggots, and the family lives on one stone and more stove grain given by the wall merchants......"

"How can a family eat that stone of grain, don't you still have to rely on wild vegetables and sea fish for a living......

"What if you don't have enough to eat? Do you dare to escape? You Wang Zhuzi, even if you run out, what will happen? If you escape, catch your son as a stove household, if you don't have a son, you will catch your grandson, if you don't have a grandson, you will catch your son-in-law, aunt, and grandson, unless your relatives in the Wang family are dead......"

Listening to the complaints of the stove people, Zhu Mingzhong looked at these ragged stove people, and looked more like beggars than ordinary people, thinking about the rows of thatched huts near the sea that he saw on the way here, and then connected with the poverty of these people, he secretly had a bottom in his heart.

"If you don't want to be a stove household, you are willing to join my loyal army as a soldier!"

Staring at this Wang Dezhu, Zhu Mingzhong did not say anything about military salary.

"Loyalty? Soldier? ”

Wang Dezhu looked at this adult a little blankly, looked at his son, who was only seven or eight years old on the side, and thought that in the future, his son would be like him, and he would be a stove in this salt farm, so he gritted his teeth violently,

"Big master, if the big lord allows the grass people to get out of the stove, the grass people are willing to join the army!"

"Even if you don't have a military salary, do you want to?"

"As long as you can get rid of the stove and re-enter the civil register, the grass people are willing!"

Not only did Wang Dezhu say so, but even some young people nearby shouted,

"The grass people are also willing, I just ask the lord to be merciful and allow me to join the army!"

"Ask the lord for mercy and allow me to join the army!"

But it was only a moment's work, and he knelt in front of this time, and almost half of the stove Ding knelt there, kowtowing.

"Ask the lord for mercy, and allow me to join the army and leave the country......"

For these Stove Keepers, who have been equated with untouchables for centuries, when they see an opportunity to get rid of their Stove status, they almost immediately choose to accept it, and they care about anything else.

"Hmmm......"

Nodding slightly, Zhu Mingzhong's heart was just agitated, there are at least one or two thousand people in front of him, if all of them are like this, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to recruit fifty or sixty thousand soldiers?

"Don't be in a hurry to join the army, do you know that my loyal and righteous army has strict military discipline, not to mention ordinary military discipline, if someone acts as a deserter, then not only will he be punished, but his family will be held responsible, not only will his wife and children be expelled and beaten as a lowly household, but also the same ten households will be punished, so, are you willing to join the army?"

"Yes!"

Wang Dezhu replied without hesitation. Not only did he not hesitate at all, but most of the other stoves kneeling on the ground were also like this, and they all kowtowed and said.

"As long as the eldest lord is gracious and allows us to be naturalized as a citizen, we are willing to swear to serve the eldest lord to the death, and we will never dare to escape......"

For them, who are already equivalent to untouchables, they don't have much deterrent power for them, and the reason why they are willing to join the army is to get out of the country, to become ordinary people, not to be stoves for generations.

It is precisely because of this that when these stove men asked to join the army, the women who were originally crowded aside, although they were all desolate, almost no one stopped their men, because they also wanted to get rid of the stove family, and for these generations of stove women, they also hoped that one day their children would be like the children of ordinary people, marry their lovers, and live a comfortable life of male farmers and female weavers.

"Good!"

With a deep snort, Zhu Mingzhong commanded Wu Pinya directly.

"Call some people to come, and make a register with the brethren, and as long as they are willing to join our loyal army, as long as they are not too old, and are in good health, and meet the requirements of our loyal army, they will all stay......"

Zhu Mingzhong, who was still worried about recruiting soldiers, looked at the enthusiastic appearance of these stove people, and then looked at those women with desolate faces, and listened to them lament how to live in the future.

Thinking that he had said that the loyal and righteous army had no pay, Zhu Mingzhong smiled.

"You don't need to worry about your family, my loyal army will never treat you brothers badly, after you join my loyal army, in addition to the monthly salary of five yuan, your family can receive one stone of rice grain every month!"

Because nearly two million stone of grain was seized, and there was enough rice to cover the military salary, so when talking about the military salary to these stoves, Zhu Mingzhong directly used one stone of rice grain to offset the military salary, and according to the grain price at this time, one stone of rice is two taels of silver.

When the people of the stove, who had some apprehensions, heard that in addition to the monthly salary of five cents, there was also a stone of rice grain, and there was still the slightest concern, and even the desolation on the faces of the women faded a lot, and some even showed a little surprise.

Seeing that the people of the stove were enthusiastically signing up to join the army, Zhu Mingzhong, who was in a good mood, instructed Fang Guowei, the new captain of the pro-soldier beside him.

"Guowei, you are now like a recruitment notice, posting all salt farms, ordering all salt farms not to stop Zao Ding from joining the army, and those who dare to stop will be killed!"
