Chapter 137: Secret Petition to the People
It's really an accident that is too unexpected for Mizhi County!
After the news spread that the emperor was going to recruit a thousand soldiers for Mizhi, there were many squires from Mizhi who brought their daughters and sons to sign up!
That's right, it's those squires who shirk the task of fighting a war as soon as they encounter it, and shift the task of fighting a war to the poor people!
In fact, there are not many squires left in Mizhi, Shaanxi has natural disasters and man-made disasters every year, and all kinds of rogues have looted over and over again, and the remaining squires are less than thirty percent of the Wanli years, but even so, these squires have taken the initiative to send their daughters and sons......
Chongzhen doesn't think it's strange, the art troupe has attracted the attention of the people by singing in Mizhi in the past two days, and there are also rich military salaries, war and famine eras, in order to sell their daughters for a little food, the so-called family affection has just not been tested.
Moreover, in this natural and man-made disaster, the squires who can survive are all treacherous and cunning, Tianziwei does not lose a soldier or a general, and is like a broken bamboo to take Xuanfu Wang Chengyin and Datong Jiang Xuan, and Tian Jianxiu's army in Yulin City has not moved, it is said that there has been internal strife, and Tian Jianxiu's situation is precarious.
Besides, the women of Datong are also vying to enter the "untouchable" They have also heard of it, Mizhi and Datong are the hometowns of famous beauties, and the emperor is passing by in a hurry elsewhere, why stay in these two places for the longest time, and there is no way to enter the "untouchable" in other places! In addition, what kind of "lowly status" is this, have you ever seen a "lowly family" with a military salary higher than the county order?
Regarding the issue that the military salary is higher than the county order, Chongzhen will make an introduction. The military households of the Ming Dynasty were too hard, and it was difficult to ensure loyalty. Therefore, Chongzhen is very generous to Tianziwei, as for the silver, one hundred taels per person, and his five thousand elites are only one million a year, and they can still afford it!
These squires are very keenly aware that the current emperor is even more powerful than Liu Xiu, the son of the Han Guangwu Emperor, Zhang Xianzhong is obedient, and Li Zicheng, a rogue, will soon be ordinary, so hurry up and send all the young men and girls in the family to be soldiers, and you don't have to think hard about how to protect these girls; Second, if you can recruit it, it is the wife of the emperor's hand-picked Tianzi Wei!
Eh, Chongzhen wants to focus on it here, this is all the credit of Wei Zaode, this champion who is greedy for life and afraid of death slaps the dragon's fart too fiercely, and his argument is first-class, and Chongzhen is blown into a god.
Well, also, Zhang Xianzhong, who is now in Sichuan, would be very confused if he learned that he had returned to the imperial court, because he had no contact with the imperial court, Sichuan was too far away from the capital, and the news had not yet reached Sichuan, and he still didn't know that Chongzhen and Daming Daily had publicized that he had returned to the imperial court, and his Great Western Army was still confronting Qin Liangyu of the imperial court.
But it doesn't matter, it's good that Li Zicheng and the people know. The news transmission of the Ming Dynasty was slow, and the emperor and the official media Daming Bao both said that they were obedient, so can it be fake?
The squires have all sent their daughters over, and Chongzhen, the lascivious and obscene procedural ape in his previous life, naturally wants to take a look, if there is a good one, take it together!
This Mi Zhi's mother-in-law is so famous, why don't you see it with your own eyes!
By the way, you can also learn about the people's feelings, and see if Liu Ruis and Chen Yuanyuan are jealous of the beauty of other girls.
So, Chongzhen asked Wang Dahu to take someone to protect him secretly, and took Xie Shanshan, Xie Tingting, Shen Yue and other girls to dress up in disguise, and also appeared outside the county government recruitment office.
At this time, the recruitment department was crowded, including the squires who led their daughters to sign up, as well as the guards of the Son of Heaven and the female soldiers of the art troupe.
As soon as Xie Tingting, a naughty little girl, saw the lively place, she jumped up and down happily and wanted to hurry in to join in the fun. Chongzhen stopped Xie Tingting.
"Wait, Xie Tingting, Shen Yue, you two go in and watch, I'll just watch outside."
If he goes in, Liu Ru is Chen Yuanyuan will definitely recognize it, and they will be influenced by Chongzhen when they choose people, it is better to be outside the door, from the expressions of these girls who came out, you can know which girl was selected and which girl was not selected, and listen to these people's evaluations of Liu Ru and Chen Yuanyuan.
"Yes!" When Xie Tingting heard this, she happily pulled Shen Yue in, but Shen Yue looked at Chongzhen reluctantly.
This Xie Tingting is completely a little girl who doesn't grow up, Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh, eh, she is indeed a little girl, only fourteen years old. Shen Yue is two years older, and she is obviously a lot more sensible.
"Shen Yue, go ahead, there is Xie Shanshan's amount of Jiang Qianxi, Tianziwei is also secretly protecting, I'm fine."
Seeing that the emperor said this, Shen Yue was relieved to follow Xie Tingting in.
After Xie Tingting and Shen Yue entered, Chongzhen pulled the two girls to sit down and eat at a small stall next to the county office.
"Guest officer, you are from out of town, your two daughters are so handsome, they must be chosen." Seeing Chongzhen and the two women sitting down, the owner of the food stall said with a smile, the emperor recruited female soldiers of the art troupe in Mizhi, and everyone with girls in the nearby county town brought the girls to apply.
"Boss, you are setting up a stall here, have you ever heard that this art troupe is recruiting female soldiers?"
"Hey, this guest officer, are you worried that your daughter will be bullied when she enters the art troupe. Don't worry, this art troupe is not like the previous camp prostitutes, in our rice fat, people are respected and envied. In the past, we were the most frightened people who had handsome daughters in the family, afraid that the rogue would rob them to be the wife of the village. It's different now, the art troupe only sings, and they still sing the tunes of those great poets, and there is no obscenity at all. Tianziwei is also powerful, a few hundred zhang can take people's lives, I saw it with my own eyes. In the future, the emperor will marry Tianziwei, and have the protection of Tianziwei, so what are you afraid of! The stall owner looked at him with envy.
"Your Majesty's personal expedition this time, if we can exterminate the bandits, our good days are coming." A middle-aged man said that when he saw the boss talk about the rogue, he also followed.
"It must be possible, the Daming Daily said that Zhang Xianzhong has been surrendered, and Li Zicheng's 500,000 troops have fled back from the capital. Now the world is Li Zicheng, a thief. ”
"My son signed up to join the army, and Li Zicheng, who was a pretentious, made peace with the emperor and went to fight the emperor, which will harm us in Shaanxi."
"Just like the Daming Daily said, Li Zicheng is a disaster star, and Li Zicheng is followed by a group of lazy ruffians."
"No, these rogues are not good people! said that the field was divided for a few years, and in the end, it was not the emperor who gave us the field! ”
There are many people in the small stalls, and they are talking about the rogue and the peace of the world, Shaanxi has been in chaos for more than ten years, and these people are too eager for stability. Listening to the people's discussions, Chongzhen found that the people on the side of public opinion began to give hope to the imperial court. Even though Tianziwei has just hit Mizhi, the people of Mizhi have been imperceptibly affected by Daming Daily.
