Outside the gate of Yuancheng, with the conscription edict issued by Liu Xin half a month ago to pass on to the counties of Kyushu, many people, heroes and righteous people heard the news, and a few left their parents, wives and children, and rushed to Yuancheng to join the army.

They spontaneously prepared silver taels, purchased weapons and armor, and looked very bright.

The conscription edict promulgated by Liu Xin this time was conveyed in the name of Wang Mang. Those people and heroes are gearing up to take refuge in Wang Mang and contribute to the country.

On the edict, Liu Xin detailed the generals and money and food matters sent by the major families according to Wang Mang's words.

After they heard about it, they all praised Wang Mang for being really worried about the country and the people, and his troops and money and food ranked first among everyone.

In their opinion, being able to follow Wang Mang to the army will definitely be able to make better contributions and glorify their ancestors.

At the beginning, Wang Mang lived in Liaoning and did not enter the imperial court. They have always been a little dissatisfied in their hearts, and they all hope that Wang Mang can enter the court and share the worries of the people.

Now Wang Mang has entered the imperial court and is in a high position. They all believed that the officials who oppressed them must be eradicated by Wang Mang, a saint. The land of Kyushu will also be like Liaoning, with abundant food and clothing, and smooth wind and rain.

So they responded to the call and hurried to come.

Although Wang Mang said it first, no one should stop those who joined the army from coming to join the army.

However, there are policies at the top, and countermeasures at the bottom.

Those local city lords and officials didn't want their states and counties to lose too many strong men and lose their strength. So they obstructed from all sides to prevent too much loss of strong men.

Therefore, there are still many strong men who have the heart to join Wang Mang, but they are blocked. I was furious in my heart, but I was helpless.

The reason why they are so active in joining the army is entirely because of Wang Mang's reputation. If other great families want to send troops, they will definitely not have such a sensational effect, and the people will not believe those great families.

Only Wang Mang has such an appeal and convincing.

Wang Mang treats those who serve in the army well, treats them equally, regardless of their identity and background, rewards them for meritorious service, and punishes them for mistakes, which makes them feel at ease.

They thought that if they were unfortunate enough to die in battle for the country, then their families would definitely be able to receive accurate benefits, and no one would dare to be greedy for this money.

If you are lucky enough to achieve military merits and kill a lot of enemies, then no one else can take away this credit that belongs to you, and you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself and shine on the lintel.

All fairness and justice have been best interpreted by Wang Mang. They don't have to worry about everything, they just need to follow orders to kill the enemy.

Life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky.

Whether it's life or death, they don't care, because it's up to God to arrange. There is only one thing they care about, that is, no matter whether they live or die, Wang Mang will definitely treat them fairly, and no one dares to interfere.

Right now, outside the gate of Yuancheng, there are many strong people who have come to join the army, waiting for Wang Mang's order to send out the army.

These people are all because the place where they live is relatively close to Qingzhou, or they are from Qingzhou.

As for people outside Qingzhou, there are not many of them, and they can't come in a short time, and they are still on the way.

When they came to the gate of Yuancheng, they were all very conscious. spontaneously organized, stationed outside the city, practiced, and waited for Wang Mang's instructions, which was very orderly.

Wang Mang learned about this from the beginning, so he specially sent many henchmen and generals to arrange matters outside the city, explain the rules of the army, register the families of military personnel, check and verify the specific origins, and practice their combat skills.

He has only one requirement for these military personnel, that is, they must honestly and clearly explain their origins. Who are your relatives and where is home. If he is unknown, no matter what skills he has, he will not do it.

Wang Mang's intention was very simple, because he could not guarantee the life and death of these people on the battlefield, so he could only arrange it in the worst case. It is important that after they are killed in battle, their families can be informed and they can receive bereavement.

He firmly believes that the vast majority of people have parents, wives and children, and if he doesn't check this issue clearly, then in the future, these strong men will unfortunately die in battle, so won't he live up to their wishes?

He put himself in the identity of the strong men. It is expected that if he joins the army and goes out, Wang Jingyan will definitely miss himself very much and want to know everything about himself.

Whether you live or die in battle, you must be clear and clear, and you can't be without news.

It is precisely because of Wang Mang's request that the people are more convinced and more willing to join Wang Mang.

In the evening, Wang Mang said goodbye to Wang Jingyan, left the general's mansion, and walked out of the gate of Yuancheng, just about to see Yu Lao. He heard a shout from a distant direction ahead, and he was sure that it was the strong men who were practicing.

After hearing the voice, his heart moved, changed direction, and ran towards the camp with Li Hanfeng.

Within an hour, he came to a place where soldiers and horses were trained, and saw those strong men being taught and practiced by the generals.

The generals were taken aback when they saw Wang Mang suddenly arrive. With a wave of his hand, the strong men stopped the drill, and then walked quickly to Wang Mang, "Lord Wang, why are you here at this time?" ”

Wang Mang smiled and said, "General Hanyang, I was going to go out of the city to do some business, but I happened to hear your shouts, so I came over to take a look first." ”

General Hanyang pointed to those strong men and said, "Lord Wang, these people are all here to join the army. According to the statistics of their subordinates, many of them are good at skill and can be called fierce generals. It can be seen that the strong men who came to join the army this time are all heroes who really have the heart to serve the country. ”

"A hot-blooded man has the ambition to serve the Quartet, this is a great loyalty!"

Wang Mang moved to the high stage of the military exercise and looked at these strong men.

When he looked at it, he saw that these people were clear in military discipline, their faces were resolute, and their morale was high. I couldn't help nodding violently, looking relieved.

These people vary in age, from eighteen or nineteen years old to those in their forties. Now they all came to join the army spontaneously, wanting to contribute to the country.

In this conscription, Wang Mang did not force them to join the army, but just asked Liu Xin to make an announcement. Let them come if they want to, and it doesn't matter if they don't want to come.

Under the drill platform, many strong men looked at this young man who suddenly appeared, and they were a little suspicious.

Most of them didn't know Wang Mang, and they didn't know why this young man was so respectful when he came to practice his own generals.

Many generals stood next to Wang Mang, and then the commander-in-chief, General Hanyang, coughed a few times, stepped forward, and shouted at everyone: "Everyone, this lord is Wang Mang, the commander of this expedition. At this moment, he came to see us. ”

His words weren't very impassioned, just a statement of the situation.

However, it was such a simple introduction and statement, and those strong men were in an uproar, exclaiming, and their eyes were on Wang Mang.

They had always heard of Wang Mang's name, but they had never seen him, and now when they saw him, they were surprised.

Especially those who have some skills, they didn't expect that this legendary Wang Mang is not so tall and not so brave, but a young man who looks quite sunny.

Wang Mang waved his hand, motioned for them to stop talking, and then asked Hanyang, "Have you done everything I asked you to do?" Can I follow my regulations? Do they have any comments? ”

Han Yang replied: "Back to your lordship, your subordinates have arranged it according to your instructions. Although they were a little confused at first, most of them did not object, and only a few people were puzzled.

It's not easy for the subordinates to explain the reason to them, so those who oppose it, the subordinates haven't arranged it yet, just waiting for you to show it. According to the statistics of his subordinates, there are currently 3,987 people who have joined the army. ”
