Chapter 28 Incitement and Expansion

The county magistrate was stingy, and provided about fifty stone of grain, three pigs and two sheep, and some wine.

However, as a lower county, it can't be said to be stingy to be able to take out so many things to reward the military. It's just that the county order has never appeared again from beginning to end, and this feeling of disdain for them is very unpleasant.

Li Ming has a sense of immediacy at this moment: 'You guys eat and rest early, and you will fuck me off the next day'!

The county lieutenant brought Li Ming to the post station, and there were already special people who came out to entertain him. Of course, with Li Ming's status, he naturally couldn't enjoy the highest, but he also got a clean and tidy room.

"No matter what, the captain is the benefactor of this county! If it weren't for the school captain's timely help, I was afraid that the county would not be protected! Before saying goodbye, the county lieutenant solemnly thanked him, and then said in a low voice, "That county order is actually a bad seed, tough on his own people, but he was too scared to go out of the county government before, and he couldn't say that he was still thinking about whether to surrender!" ”

"I can't say that the county is also thinking about a strategy to break the enemy?" Li Ming replied with his hand, saying behind his back that people are right and wrong.

"That's it!" The county lieutenant smiled and took his leave.

"Call Simbi here!" Seeing the county lieutenant leave, Li Ming instructed Zhu Yong.

"What's the plan? Maybe you haven't noticed that when you have a bad idea, the corners of your mouth will turn up slightly! Zhu Yong looked at Li Ming carefully, and then asked in a low voice.

"I'll pay attention to this later, but you'll find out tomorrow for what it is!" Li Ming smiled faintly.

Zhu Yong didn't want to continue to say anything when he heard this, so he nodded directly and went to the outside of the city to make arrangements.

The food in the evening was not bad, there were chickens and fish, roast mutton and corn, and even a small bowl of rice wine. The meat was provided by the merchants in the city, which was the result of Li Ming's accidental inquiry. Fan Guang said that it was a reward, but in fact, it was simply a flower offering to the Buddha.

This also directly made Li Ming's evaluation of him drop a few points!

The next day, with the opening of the county gate, Xin Bi was also taken by Li Ming to the front of the yamen of the county seat. At the same time, according to Li Ming's intentions, Zhu Yong, Zhang Mo and Yang Le called the people out and surrounded them.

Li Ming looked at the people in the next place, most of their expressions were very numb, or for most people, their greatest hope was to still be alive tomorrow. Other than that, there is no desire, and I dare not ask for anything!

In contrast, a small number of merchants or scholars exist in bright clothes and are full of energy. This existence, which only occupies less than one percent, forms a wise contrast with these people who occupy ninety percent!

"Folks in Jiaxian!" Li Ming shouted, "I am Li Ming, the lieutenant under the command of Zhu Jun, the right lieutenant!" General Feng ordered to come to crusade against the Yellow Turban stragglers, and just yesterday, he had already punished 3,000 thieves! Jiaxian is safe for the time being! ”

Hearing this, many people immediately raised their heads. Yesterday's battle took place in the afternoon, so they don't know exactly what the situation was. I thought it was just a killing, but I didn't expect it to be a punishment!

When I saw Li Ming, I was shocked by his youth again, how old is he, but he is over twenty? Before he was twenty years old, he had already led troops to kill more than 3,000 thieves, which is incredible!

"At the same time!" Li Ming paused, "The captain of this school is about to set off to defeat the Yellow Turban stragglers outside several other county towns. It's just that after yesterday's battle, the soldiers have been lost, so I hope to recruit soldiers in Jiaxian! As long as you are 20 years old or above, you can sign up! I'll provide armor and weapons, and even the usual money per person for a settling-in fee! ”

These words naturally caused an uproar among the crowd, and it is not surprising that the war will inevitably kill people, and the shortage of manpower will naturally require conscription to replenish it. Especially nowadays, most of the people enlist in the army as long as they are fed, and there is a settling-in allowance for the usual money, which is unimaginable.

It's just that everyone is ready to move, but they don't dare to step forward. One has no determination to fight, and the other has no courage to fight. In Jiaxian, even if you are full and hungry, you can survive. Without an existential crisis, not everyone wants to enlist.

"I also said what are you going to do, dare to recruit troops directly here? What the hell do you think? Zhu Yong suddenly asked in a low voice, in his opinion, Li Ming was completely nonsense!

"As you say, as long as you are a good citizen of property, you can be conscripted into the army! They are all residents of Jiaxian, and each of them has an industry, so they must be children of a good family, why can't they be conscripted into the army? Li Ming gestured to the people in front of him and said.

"Having said that...... Zhu Yong also planned to further persuade Li Ming to give up this plan.

"Look at this marquis next to me!" Li Ming pulled Xin Bi over, "He is the second son of Xinjiabao not far away, he is only sixteen years old this year, and he has not even reached the crown yet!" But he is a dignified man, and now the yellow turban thieves are wreaking havoc everywhere, making the people miserable and all industries withering. He, a sixteen-year-old boy, can resolutely devote himself to the righteousness of the country! ”

Then he swept all the people and said slowly: "Could it be that you can't even compare to a young man?" Could it be that you can watch the Han Dynasty be wantonly destroyed by the Yellow Turban thieves and be indifferent? Looking at your land, looking at your hometown, directly destroyed by these yellow turban thieves and insensitive? ”

"Or rather!" Then he glared, "Are you going to just mess around like this for the rest of your life?" Don't you plan to make a career and make a name for future generations? Could it be that you are willing to live like this, living without a match, and just hoping to continue to live tomorrow? Don't you want to one day, with armor and become a generation of famous generals?

Folks, now is a great opportunity to make a contribution! This is a great opportunity to change your destiny, and now a bright future lies ahead of you. Look at it, Xin Bi just joined the army, and he directly mixed up with a military marquis!

Joining the army may be fraught with danger, and there may be many people who can't wait for the day when their fate changes. But isn't it worth the gamble compared to what you are now? The prince and the general, would rather have a kind?! ”

"I bet!" Suddenly, a common man shouted, and at the same time caused a series of chain reactions.

The entire county seat of Jiaxian has a population of nearly 100,000, and there are more than 130,000 or 400,000 people who have fled from the surrounding areas. Qingzhuang didn't dare to say much, there would always be thirty or forty thousand, and if it met Li Ming's requirements, there would be more than one or two hundred thousand.

At that time, more than 20,000 people had already roared at the same time, and those who did not meet the conditions were suddenly very unwilling.

"I feel like you're not recruiting, you're inciting them to rebel!" Zhu Yong said in a low voice, "You shouldn't gather them all, now as long as someone instigates it, they will rise up and rebel!" ”

"Then it's not my problem!" Li Ming smiled faintly, and then swept the county government with the corner of his eye.

"Do you need to do that?" Zhu Yong immediately understood Li Ming's intentions.

"An Min is originally the responsibility of the county order, I am just a reckless man, only responsible for fighting!" Li Ming shrugged.

The recruitment process went very well, or even many people as young as 19 or 36 came to ask if they could enlist. The people were so depressed that they suddenly woke up to their unprecedented enthusiasm for joining the army.

Seeing this, Li Ming simply raised the recruitment standard. Don't be under the age of 30, don't have an only child in the family and have a wife and children.

In this way, 1,100 people were finally selected, and the establishment of 2,000 people was made. In this way, he, the airdrop captain, is finally worthy of his name. It's just that in terms of combat effectiveness, there is almost no need to think about it......

"Generally speaking, what do you do in such a situation? Don't tell me, arrange it for me! Li Ming found Zhu Yong and didn't give him a chance to answer, and directly gave him the task.

Zhu Yonggang wanted to speak, but he didn't want to be choked back directly. Immediately, he could only obediently follow the habit and break up the original 900 people and mix them with these 1,100 people.

Many people have been promoted to become captains, and many people have become chiefs. Zhu Yong, Yang Le, Xin Bi and Zhang Mo were all promoted to military commanders, each commanding a total of 400 soldiers. Li Ming led a song alone, as a pro-guard.

The envoy sent to repay the merit also returned at this time and brought Zhu Jun's appointment. In view of Li Ming's punishment of the Yellow Turban stragglers in Jiaxian County, Li Ming was officially appointed as the captain of the thief school, commanding 2,000 troops. As for the list of subordinate officers, he arranges and reports it.

At the same time, let the messenger bring two words to Li Ming: "Nonsense!" ”

Obviously, he was dissatisfied with Li Ming's behavior of single-handedly entering the enemy formation. Hearing this, Li Ming looked at Zhu Yong, who turned his head to the side and pretended to be there to watch the scenery. Don't think about it, this is the one who informed!

"Captain, the county has commanded, the Yellow Turban Thief has not yet been pacified, and I hope the Captain will leave early!" The county lieutenant also came to Li Ming, "He was very angry and threw something inside, but he didn't dare to come out directly!" ”

"Let him look down on people!" Li Ming felt a sense of refreshment.

"Having said that, literati are inextricably linked to each other, and if he slanders something outside, it will definitely not be a good thing for Captain Li!" When the county lieutenant heard this, he reminded in a low voice.

"Li has nothing, so why should he be afraid of losing something?" Li Ming smiled and slowly stepped forward, "Sons! Time is running out, the whole army is assembled! Departure today! ”

"Whoa!" The veterans had no bottom in their hearts, and the recruits were even more bottomless, but Zhu Yong and the four of them were the first to shout.

"Whoa!" The bosses didn't dare to slack off when they heard this, and they shouted one after another. The recruits did not dare to slack off, and they responded one after another. They originally thought that they would play after a whole training, but they didn't expect to play so soon.

Fortunately, there are weapons and armor, put on leather armor, pick up weapons, and feel a lot more relieved. The biggest regret is not that this army of 2,000 people is purely spear and shield soldiers, and there are no suitable archers. The point is, there is no time to train an archer now!

"Isn't that too risky?" Simbi was a little nervous.

"Our time was very valuable! So, there's no time to wait for them to run in! Li Ming gritted his teeth, "Train while walking, and deal with discipline violators strictly!" Those who dare to fight on the battlefield and flee from greed for life, kill them! ”

"Whoa!" Simbi also knew that this was the best way to go.

The most fortunate thing is that human life is really worthless these days, and it can easily replenish the supply of troops. Rao is like this, Xin Bi is still a little bottomless in his heart......
