These two memorabilia came from different departments, but the things in the last recital were similar, both about this national recruitment of soldiers.

It stands to reason that such an ordinary matter as recruiting soldiers should be handled by the military department alone, and even if there are some problems, they should be reported to the cabinet minister, and Tyrion will weigh the pros and cons, so as not to alarm the king of a country.

However, there are accidents in everything, and many courtiers really didn't dare to deal with this incident in vain, because some of the people who came to join the army had different identities.

Just as Li Nan discussed with the cabinet ministers, this conscription mainly recruited foreign immigrants, free prisoners of war, and northern Han Chinese, hoping to change the social status of these people who were not recognized by the imperial people by joining the army.

The military department set up recruitment sites all over the country, and Jiaozhi, the base of the empire, was naturally no exception, and soon a group of prisoners of war living in Jiaozhi and other places came to sign up.

These people are all superb in martial arts, and some of them are both civil and military, and they can be said to be the best choice to join the army, and what attracts attention is their identity.

At that time, under the leadership of Fang La, the Mingjiao rebel army gathered millions of people to sweep the southern part of the Great Song Dynasty, and even Li Nan, who was just starting out, and his Zhennan Kingdom, did not want to fight against Mingjiao at that time.

Later, the Song court sent Tong Guan with the elite of the Western Army, united with the army of Zhang Shuye and others, and began to kill Mingjiao.

Although the number of Ming Sect is large, it is a rabble, and in the face of the Western Army soldiers with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Great Song Dynasty, they are really defeated repeatedly, and finally flee to the land of Xichuan.

It was at this time that Li Nan led his troops to block the Mingjiao army at Baidi Mountain, Chijia Mountain and Baiyan Mountain, the main roads into Sichuan.

At that time, the Mingjiao sect had hundreds of thousands of pursuers from the Great Song Dynasty, and there was a large army from Zhennan in front of them to intercept them, which can be said to be in a dead end.

Li Nan didn't want to fight in the same room and fight with the Mingjiao sect, who were also Han Chinese, so he promised that as long as Fang La was willing to lead the people to surrender, he would protect the lives of Fang La and all the generals.

Fang La finally chose to surrender, and Li Nan also kept his promise, not only sparing the lives of many leaders of the Ming Sect, but also letting them take their families to live in a remote place in Jiaozhi.

Now that several years have passed, Fang La, the Four Heavenly Kings and the Eight Hussars under his command have all lived and worked in peace and contentment in the East China Sea Province of Jiaozhi, and they have multiplied, which can be described as a quiet and peaceful life.

It stands to reason that the generals of the defeated army did not suffer death, which is Li Nan's kindness and grace to them, if they were replaced by other emperors, they would have all been killed a long time ago.

It's just that everyone thinks differently, like Fang La and some of his people don't like this kind of plain life, and they don't want their children and grandchildren to live in this remote place like this.

When the news of the Empire's recruitment of soldiers reached Jiaozhi Donghai Province, Fang La and the others were moved.

This time, the main recruits were foreign immigrants and prisoners of war, and Fang Laji's family members met the second condition, so there were a large number of elites going to the conscription office.

The Imperial Intelligence Bureau has always sent people to monitor unstable figures in the country, and Fang La, the former Ming Sect leader, is naturally the main target, so the news was sent to the imperial capital Changsha as soon as possible.

Fang La's identity is special, and no one among the ministers dares to deal with this matter, so he played it in front of Li Nan.

After reading this recital, Li Nan smiled proudly.

Li Nan is different from other emperors, because he has the insight of later generations throughout the history of China, has a wide vision, and knows a lot, so his mind is also extraordinarily broad-minded.

In the history of China, in fact, the Han people, who are numerous, are the most stable people, and as long as they can continue to live, they will never rebel. And every troubled time, it is because the people can't survive anymore, so they will take risks.

Back then, Fang La might have been able to take advantage of the rebellion of the Song Dynasty to gain momentum, but now that the people of the empire live and work in peace and contentment, even if he is capable, he will not be able to set off any storms.

Thinking of this, Li Nan put the fold on the table, picked up the imperial pen and replied on it: "Thousands of rivers will eventually flow eastward, the sea will accept all rivers, and there is tolerance!" ”

After ordering the two copies to be sent out, Li Nan sat at the table and thought about it for a while, and wrote another letter to Zong Ze.

For other former ministers of the Song Kingdom, Zong Ze has been quite used since he came to the empire, and he has become the minister of transportation of the empire.

This is not only due to his own ability, but also because of Li Nan's eclectic attitude towards employing people in order to show the empire.

Zong Ze had the merit of recommending Yue Fei last time, and Emperor Li Nan also attached great importance to Yue Fei, so since this matter spread in the empire, there have been many old friends visiting every day, and the threshold of the Zongfu is about to be broken.

Zong Ze naturally knew the intentions of these old people, but he was loyal and upright, and he was a subordinate, so he did not recommend other candidates to Li Nan since then.

Seeing Fang La's incident today, Li Nan suddenly remembered the two old people, these two are rare elites in the Song Kingdom, since the people of the Ming Sect can serve the country in the army, it is a bit too wasteful to let the two of them idle.

Recently, construction has begun on various roads in the north, and after all the works have begun, Zong Ze also returned to his home in the imperial capital to rest.

On this day, Zong Ze was reading tea at home, and suddenly heard a report from the servants at home, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he said that the emperor's personal guards of the Imperial Forest Army came to the door.

After sending Li Nan's handwritten letter, the royal guard left immediately, and Zong Ze returned to the room, opened the letter and read it.

Zong Ze's wife heard that the emperor had sent someone to come, and she couldn't help but worry, she hurried to the study, but she didn't expect to see Zong Ze holding the letter in his hand and was contemplating.

"Master, the emperor sent someone, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Zong Ze pondered for a moment and replied, "Well, it's a good thing, but there are also disadvantages. ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Zong asked in surprise, "Master, is this a reconciliation?" ”

Raising the emperor's handwritten letter in his hand, Zong Ze said with a smile: "Your Majesty ordered me to recommend two Song ministers to surrender, it seems that these two people are about to rise to prominence, which is a good thing." But in this way, I am afraid that our family will be even more unpeaceful, and it is estimated that more people will come to ask me for help and recommendation. ”

"Phew! You old thing, scare me. ”

Mrs. Zong pretended to be angry and accused: "I thought something big happened, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor really values you very much, this is to add glory to you, you still don't appreciate it!" ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Which two people does the emperor fall in love with?" ”

"The first one you must know, he is the grandson of Zhang Qi in the former Song Kingdom, born in Jinshi, and once served as the right secretary of the Wailang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion......"

"The person you are talking about is Uncle Zhang?" Without waiting for Zong Ze to finish speaking, Mrs. Zong interrupted him and said in surprise: "He led the soldiers and horses of the Wulu Prefecture Mansion back then to conquer His Majesty the Emperor, how could this be?" ”

"This is the spirit of the emperor!" Zong Ze said with emotion: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, and now he actually uses Zhang Shuye, which is really admirable!" ”

"What about the other one?"

"The other is somewhat similar to Zhang Shuye's experience, this son is named Han Shizhong, and I heard that he is also a fierce general of the Western Army. In the battle with the empire that year, Tong Guan led his troops to escape, and this young general was captured. Because Han Shizhong is the leader of the war criminals, he has been imprisoned in a labor camp to build roads, and he is currently under my jurisdiction, which is why His Majesty the Emperor will write to me to recommend the two of them. ”

The emperor wanted to use these two people, but asked Zong Ze to recommend them, and after the two of them were reused in the future, they would inevitably be grateful to Zong Ze, which was simply a good thing for nothing, so Mrs. Zong said with a smile: "Your Majesty is still wise!" ”
