Now the official mansion of Shuyang has become the place where Lin Yuyan stays, and it was yesterday that the Shuishui bandits attacked Shuyang again, but it was not the Shuyang wharf, but the ordinary towns on both sides of the water, with nearly 100 dead and wounded.

Suddenly, the people were panicked, and a large number of people fled to the city of Shuyang, and the people who got the news of the Red Turban Army from the southern border of Wuguo also moved north one after another.

For a time, Wuyang City was overcrowded.

But that's not good news.

Jing Yi looked at the information on the book and said, "Your Highness, the number of people who have gone to Shuyang to join the army is now more than two thousand!" ”

Lin Yuyan was also unexpected, she didn't expect that this recruitment notice had only been issued for a few days, and so many people wanted to join the army.

However, it is not as much as you come to collect, the establishment of the Shuyang Army is there, and it is only a thousand people who will die.

However, the number of people in the army is still increasing, which means that a large number of these people will not be able to join the army.

"Maybe it's better this way, at least you can pick someone ......"

Lin Yuyan thought so, but now the problem is coming again, how to pick people?

In fact, Lin Yuyan already had a vague plan in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out.

However, this is not a problem, as long as it takes a little time, Lin Yuyan can clear his thoughts, so Lin Yuyan instructed Jing Yi: "Jing Yi, issue an announcement and let all those who are interested in joining the army go to the east of the city to gather." ”

"This ...... Your Highness, the manpower on the other side of the wharf in Shuyang cannot be withdrawn, after all, most of the people in the gang there have joined the army under the organization of Hongtou and Chen Sipi......"

Lin Yuyan nodded when he heard this, then the first thing to do at the Shuyang Wharf was to arrange these people who were interested in joining the army in Shuyang City.

So Lin Yuyan instructed Jing Yi according to what he wanted in his heart.

Immediately, the recruitment announcement issued from the government of Shuyang was once again dispersed among the people.

Under the big sign in the east of the city, a large number of people gathered in Wuyang, and literate people stood in front of them looking at the official documents on the notice board.

"Squire, what is this talking about?"

"It says that those who want to join the army will gather at the barracks of the original Shuyang garrison in the east of the city the day after tomorrow to prepare for joining the army, but it is ......"

"But what? Could it be that those big families are going to produce some moths? Doesn't it mean that this time the poor people can run for the Shuyang Army! ”

"yes, yes......"

"It's not that you are not allowed to join the army, and these places are not set by those big families, but the conditions for recruiting this time are a bit harsh...... It's not about family background, it's about physical strength. ”

"Strea?"

"Uh-huh," the squire nodded, and then explained: "It says that if you want to join the army, you must pass the review of the day after tomorrow, that is, the three basic ones of fast walking, lifting stones, and fighting, but if you have good water nature, archery, etc., you can also be selected from the ......."

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's easy...... Isn't it just walking, carrying stones, and fighting with each other? ”

The squire shook his head and said, "It's not that simple, as it is said above, walking quickly is to walk ten miles within a pillar of incense, lifting a stone is to lift a hundred-pound boulder above the head to count breaths, and fighting is the third item, that is, people who pass the first two test this item, and use a wooden sword or a wooden knife to test each other's martial arts." ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, it was indeed not easy to hear it like this!

However, some people laughed on the spot: "That's fine, compared to our family background, how can we compare to the connections of those big clans, but if we compare strength, who are we afraid of these mud-legged people!" ”

But the figure gradually dispersed, and the man asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Some of the people also replied: "If you don't go back to practice a few times, otherwise you will be too wronged if you have fought over those children of the big clan, but you will be trapped!" ”

"That's ......," the man nodded approvingly.

However, after a while, the movement caused by this notice also slowly receded.

Yang Zhong is one of the only remaining teams of the original Shuyang army in this Shuyang City, responsible for the role of guarding the city gate, the main force of the original Shuyang Army went to the Shuyang Wharf to assist in the defense, but even if Lin Yuyan's Zong Guards came over, some things could not be completely handed over, and these old guards in the original Shuyang City should inevitably leave some people over.

Yang Zhong is one of them, he is from the mountainous area of Beiling in the north of Shuyang, and he is alone, and the city gate army is a very oily position in the defenders of Shuyang, Yang Zhong can hold such a position in his hands with a person who has no background at all, without him, because this Yang Zhong was previously begging for a job in the hands of the Yong clan of the Huaiyang clan.

In a branch of the Yong family, Yang Zhong was born tall and dignified, but he was also honest, so he took him into his own family as a son-in-law.

Then it was the operation of the Yong family, and Yang Zhong entered the city gate army.

However, it seems to be beautiful, but only he knows the suffering, Yang Zhong, as a son-in-law, where will life be so good, although his wife is gentle and virtuous, but his father-in-law and mother-in-law are difficult to deal with.

Yang Zhong sent people under the fence, how can he have so much freedom, he has been out for almost ten years, but he has never returned to his hometown once, and he can only send back a cart of grain every year.

Yang Zhong held the notice board at an angle with an expressionless face, and turned his back to the city gate, but he didn't find a line of rustic figures walking over.

"Brother Yang, do you think that's the second brother of the Yang family?" Someone pointed at Yang Zhong and said.

Yang Xiong looked at the figure, tall and mighty, dressed in armor leather, if it weren't for the side look similar to the back then, Yang Xiong would not be sure.

"Second Brother Yang?" Yang Xiong stepped forward and greeted the man.

Yang Zhong's hand froze slightly, the intimacy of this slightly Beiling accent made him stunned slightly, and then he slowly turned his head, saw the figure behind him clearly, and was slightly stunned before asking loudly: "Yang Xiong?" ”

"Sure enough, it's you, Second Brother Yang!" Yang Xiong also greeted.

Yang Zhong swept behind Yang Xiong, and found that there were indeed many figures with familiar faces, and immediately said: "You guys are finally here, originally I was afraid that you would miss this recruitment, Yang Xiong, call all the villagers, I invite you to the restaurant to have a good meal!" ”

Yang Xiong hesitated a little, thought about it and said, "No need, Second Brother Yang, we brought dry food." ”

Food?

Yang Zhong's eyes were a little moist, back then, Yang Zhong was like these descendants of Beiling who came to Shuyang City to beg for work with dry food on his back, and the kind of dry food burned in the mountains had not been eaten for many years.

"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of dry food to eat in this city, stay in this city for the past few days, eat and drink well, polish your body, and prepare for the test of joining the army the day after tomorrow, but I can tell you, this time I am here, and I can't find any way for you, and I look at it tightly." Yang Zhong said.

Yang Xiong nodded and replied, "Second Brother Yang, you can rest assured!" Our people in Beiling haven't lost to others in terms of strength! ”

"Good, good...... The descendants of Beiling are all good! Let's go, let's arrange your stay! ”
