Chapter 518: Serving in the Army

It is not so easy to form a righteous army, the Chu army is already insufficient, it is impossible to divide troops to Nan Zhijin, go to Haojie, he doesn't know, standing on the street to recruit people, it is estimated that no one will take care of him, Nan Zhijin quickly thought of a way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He went to prison.

Nan Zhijin asked for a pardon through Qu Zixi, and all prisoners, no matter how big or small the crime, as long as they are willing to join the righteous army and go to the battlefield, can be exempted from the charge, released immediately, and the co-sitter is not guilty, and the family property is returned.

He first went to the military prison, where some criminal soldiers were imprisoned, and they were the main force in his eyes, "Die in prison or die on the battlefield, you choose." ”

Some people are willing to die on the battlefield, and more than forty people voluntarily follow Nan Zhijin, with only one request, to restore their identity, so that their families will no longer be affected.

Nan Zhijin sent people to handle it on the spot and restore the original military status of these people, so more than 20 people joined.

Nan Zhijin wants to come to the armor, and these people are no different from normal soldiers after wearing them.

In the early hours of the morning, he led his troops to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion Prison, where the prisoners were imprisoned, mostly ordinary people, and in the past two days, there were more people in the city, and the prison was full of people.

"You have the guts to make trouble, but do you have the guts to follow me to fight the enemy?"

Everyone looked, but no one answered.

Nan Zhijin said again: "Those who serve in the army, each person will be issued a hundred taels of silver, and one family member can be escorted out of Beijing by the government." ”

"The capital is about to end, why don't you let all the people leave the city?" A voice shouted.

Nan Zhijin followed the prestige, she was an old woman, there were too many prisoners in the prison to be detained separately, and several women who were temporarily arrested were also locked up in the men's prison, but they occupied a cell, and the old woman was the most daring, not only daring to speak, but also staring at the officials.

"There are hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, plus people outside the city, no less than a million, so many people are crowded on the road, no one can walk, as soon as the enemy arrives, the fleeers will die in the massacre without the protection of the city wall. So it's okay to walk, but it's necessary to go in batches to ensure that the road is smooth. ”

The imperial court hadn't thought of how to evacuate the people, Nan Zhijin said casually, but the prisoners all believed it and nodded one after another.

The old woman spoke: "I am willing to join the army, I don't want any silver, just let my son leave Beijing." ”

Nan Zhijin didn't want the old woman, but this was a start, and he immediately said, "Okay, is there anything else?" Is it to eat here in prison and wait for the enemy army to attack the city, or to eat military rations and follow me to make contributions......"

"Go! The Huns are not three-headed and six-armed, what are they afraid of? I'd rather be a hero than a bear! A male prisoner yelled, slapping his palm on the wooden fence, shaking the sawdust flying.

The people couldn't tell the identity of the enemy army, and thought it was the Huns.

Nan Zhijin took one more look and made a note of this person.

There were many people who should make peace, and Nan Zhijin walked all over the prison cells of Jingzhao Yin Mansion and recruited more than 800 people, more than half of whom came in to make trouble in the past few days.

Nan Zhijin immediately summoned military officials and made up a roster, first, it was convenient to govern the army, and second, it was handed over to the imperial court to give corresponding rewards.

The old woman stepped forward and said, "My surname is Hou, Hou Xiaomoth, not a nu'e, but a worm moth, can you write?" ”

The military officer turned his head to look at the boss standing next to him, and said vigorously: "Women don't let women shave their eyebrows, but this is a war, and women are not needed." I think your crime is just to intercept the prime minister's sedan chair, not a big deal, go home. ”

"I won't go back, I'm going to fight in the army." Hou Xiaomoth raised his fist, "Don't think that women can't fight, call a man out and watch me beat him down with three punches and two kicks." ”

The soldiers and prisoners around all laughed, and no one believed it, the old woman was short and strong, and she looked very strong, but it was impossible to beat the man.

Hou Xiaomoth was furious, turned around and kicked down the male prisoner who laughed the loudest behind him, and after landing on the ground, he pounced on a nearby soldier and punched three times in a row, the soldier was shocked, and he retreated step by step, and he didn't even have time to pull out the waist knife.

A strong man came out of the team and jumped in front of the old woman, "I'll take you a few tricks." ”

The old woman didn't talk to her, she punched and struck, and the strong man launched a counterattack several times, but he couldn't gain the upper hand.

Nan Zhijin hurriedly said: "The two heroes stop, I will stay." ”

The strong man retreated, and the old woman chased after him and punched three more times, only then did she stop, raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm a hero?" ”

"You're a hero." Nan Zhijin arched his hand.

Hou Xiaomoth came to the military officer's table again and shouted, "Is my name written correctly?" ”

The officer nodded again and again, and turned the book for the old woman to see.

"I can't read." Hou Xiaomoth waved his hand, but still glanced at it, "Well, I recognize 'small' and recognize the edge of the worm." ”

The officer asked, "What is the name of the husband?" ”

"It's dead."

"Then you have to leave a name."

"The surname is Luo, I forgot what it was called, there is a son, named Luo Shifu, the 'Shifu' who 'rises and falls with the world', said okay, you have to send him to a safe place, he is weak and can't be offended."

Nan Zhijin heard it on the side, and was slightly surprised in his heart, although the old woman was vulgar, her husband might be a scholar.

The strong man also walked over, "My name is Hu San'er, known as Tietou, I have no home or job, give me all the silver, and I don't need anything else." ”

Nan Zhijin checked the records and quickly found out the crime of the iron-headed Hu San'er, which turned out to be a beating person when he lost a gamble, and was sent to the government by the victim.

"You follow me from now on." Nan Zhijin said.

Hu San'er looked at Nan Zhijin a few times, "What kind of official are you?" ”

"The right side of the Imperial History Observatory, and the forward general of the military department." Nan Zhijin made up an official name.

Hu San'er nodded, "It's okay, it's not a shame to follow you, wait until I go find a few more people, there are so many people." ”

Nan Zhijin was really worried that this person would never return, and his face hesitated.

Hu San'er sneered: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, I see a bigger official, it's much happier than you." ”

"Give you two hundred taels of silver, and come back before dark."

Hu San'er took his leave, took the silver and strode away.

Nan Zhijin left the soldiers in Jingzhaoyin's mansion, and he only took five people to the prison of the Criminal Department.

There are not many people in the custody of the Criminal Department, but they are all repeat offenders, many of them are officials, so the prison officials are very cautious and carefully check the official documents, Nan Zhijin will not make mistakes in this kind of matter, and the orders of the Prime Minister, the Military Department, and the Criminal Department are all available, without any flaws, and he was quickly allowed to go to prison.

He said much the same thing, assuming that felony officials would prefer to serve in the military to atone for their crimes, only to receive a more pronounced cold reception.

"I know you, Nan Zhijin, you have offended the emperor and want to make meritorious atonements, no, you want to die to show your will, you have long been ready to die, but unfortunately the emperor did not allow it, you did not die. Sorry, I don't want to join in the fun. ”

Nan Zhijin looked at it and recognized it as Yin Cuo, the harmless son of the former prime minister Yin, who was imprisoned because of the case of soldiers and slaves.

"There is Great Chu, there is the emperor and the minister, there is the dispute between the monarch and the minister, and now that the Great Chu is in danger, any battle between the court and the central government should be put aside and concentrate on the enemy. Nan is going to be determined by death, but not to His Majesty, but to Da Chu and the people of the world. Think twice, whether you are ruined or famous, or the name is passed down through the ages, all in this dynasty. ”

Still no one answered, Nan Zhijin sighed lightly, he didn't have much hope, he turned to leave, and a voice came from the innermost cell, "Come and let me see you." ”

Nan Zhijin was stunned for a moment, but still walked over, and the jailer followed with a lantern, and whispered: "That person's name is Luo Huanzhang, and he has been in prison for several years." ”

Nan Zhijin remembered that Luo Huanzhang was originally a well-educated Confucian, but he was arrested and imprisoned because of his participation in the Cui Family Palace Change, but he didn't expect to be alive now.

Nan Zhijin stood in front of the prison door, and a pair of eyes appeared in the rice delivery hole on the door, "The emperor hasn't changed?" ”

"It hasn't changed."

"What about the Cui family?"

"The Cui family was taken away, the eldest son Cui Sheng died in the army, and the second son Cui Teng was assigned to the border pass, but the queen is still Cui's, and Cui Taifu was reappointed as the secretary of the military department."

Luo Huanzhang laughed, and then asked, "What about the King of the East China Sea?" ”

"With His Majesty on the expedition."

Luo Huanzhang laughed again, and suddenly put away his smile, "What about Chun Yuxiao?" ”

Nan Zhijin shook his head, "I don't know much, it is said that there is nothing pure at all, that is a book, the book has been destroyed, and there will be no more demagogic hopefuls." ”

Luo Huanzhang sighed, "If we could have succeeded ...... at the beginning"

"If you succeed, Da Chu is still in civil strife today, there are many places in various places, the dragons are leaderless, and the Great Chu is handed over to people, and you and I are all slaves of foreign races."

"The little emperor does have some skills."

"Your Majesty has grown up, and my ability is greater, I am willing to join the army to fight the enemy, the most important reason is to believe that Your Majesty can finally save Da Chu, even if I die in the battle, it will not be a vain sacrifice."

"I have committed a sin of treason, which by law will never be forgiven."

"There are many things according to the law, but the enemy army did not stay outside the fortress according to the law, but approached the capital, and today's things are not according to the law."

"Can you call the shots?"

"Prime Minister Lord Zhuo and Lord Yu Shi Qu are in charge, Your Majesty is not the kind of person who holds grudges, the Cui family and the King of the East China Sea can be pardoned, let alone others?"

Luo Huanzhang stepped back, his face disappeared, and only a voice came out, "My crimes can be erased, but my stupidity will always be there, okay, I am willing to join the army, I can't hold a knife or gun, I can still hold a pen, it's useless to hold a pen, I can still shout, it's useless to shout, I can always fill a number." ”

"Welcome."

A few more people were willing to join the army, but there were not many of them.

Nan Zhijin walked to Yin Cuo's prison door, glanced inside, remembered that Prime Minister Yin was harmless, and sighed with emotion, but he didn't say anything, turned around and left.

The capital is under martial law, there are not many people on the street, it was already afternoon when Nan Zhijin returned to Jingzhaoyin's mansion, Hu San'er had already returned, bringing dozens of people, seeing that most of the costumes were street gangsters, the poor people in the house recognized these guys, Xiang Nan Zhijin quietly shook his head, but Nan Zhijin didn't care, and praised it.

"No matter how many people are willing to join the army, they will leave tomorrow morning."

Hu San'er said: "After I get out of the city, I can call some more people." ”

One of the gangsters brought by Hu San'er squeezed over, and he was dressed relatively normally, like a hawker, but he was quite heroic between his eyebrows, and said straight to the south: "Please come aside and talk." ”

When Nan Zhijin was employing people, he was more polite to everyone, stepped aside, and arched his hand: "Didn't you ask your Excellency for your name?" ”

"My surname is Yao, and my cheap name has not been used for many years, so it is not worth mentioning, and people gave me a nickname, called 'Don't Die'."

"Are you...... Are you Yang Feng's entourage? Nan Zhijin has a little impression, it is really that this person's name is rather strange, and he can remember it at a glance in the official document.

Don't nod your head, "It's not an entourage, I owe him a debt, it's just a favor, I came today to have nothing to do with Hu San'er, I want to replace someone." ”

"Who?"

"Hou Xiaomoth."

"Do you recognize her?" Nan Zhijin was very surprised, and when he looked up, Hou Xiaomoth was wielding a short knife in a corner of the courtyard, and no one dared to approach.

"She is Yang Feng's wife, and His Majesty has been looking for her for a long time." (To be continued.) )
