However, it was said that during the period when Deng Yue presided over the school martial arts exercise, Deng Yue's eclectic list of recruiting talents also spread rapidly, and for a time, the entire Huainan suddenly exploded, and in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, those who could be officials, except for the military and Chinese martial arts, were mainly local fame.

Now Deng Yu issued a recruitment list, as long as he has the ability, he can apply for an official, which opens a window for ordinary people and down-and-out sons.

In Huainan Haozhou City, a stout, not tall middle-aged man beckoned his wife and children to leave for Sizhou City.

Who is this big man? He is the first blacksmith in Haozhou City, Wang Da Hammer, this Wang Da Hammer family has been making a living from iron for generations, and the ability to build iron tools is needless to mention.

It was a fantasy that the blacksmith Wang, who lived in Haozhou, wanted to move, and a neighbor immediately came up and asked, "Sledgehammer, why are you going, the subway smith's shop is not open?" ”

"Uncle Li, I won't open this shop, go to Sizhou City to be an official, don't you know, Deng Dashuai of Sizhou City has a recruitment list, as long as you have a skill, you can be an official!"

Can a blacksmith be an official? You're fooling the ghost! I have heard of sows flying into the sky, but I have not heard of blacksmiths being officials.

Uncle Li watched Wang Da Hammer grow up, and seeing that he was going to be 'deceived', he suddenly became anxious, and took out the power of his elders to dissuade him repeatedly, but Wang Da Hammer was determined to go to Sizhou City, and Uncle Li couldn't persuade him.

Haozhou City is like this, and the rest of Huainan City can be imagined, and batches of 'talented' craftsmen marched to Sizhou City in groups, and for a while, Sizhou City turned out to be fragrant.

If the blacksmith wants to be an official, it can be justified, but what is this tailor and farmer doing? Could it be that Deng Dashuai can still make tailors and farmers become officials?

Within a month after the promulgation of the recruitment list, groups of people poured into Sizhou City, and the recruitment hall was even more overcrowded.

Those bombastic 'scholars' can still be perfunctory, but those blacksmiths, carpenters, and merchants are all great talents, Deng Yue gave an order to die, but those with extraordinary skills must be recorded immediately, even if the so-called 'literati talents' are sent away, these craftsmen and big businessmen cannot be left out in the cold.

In the city of Sizhou, there are some scholars who look up to the sky and sigh, once upon a time, merchants are not as good as dogs, craftsmen walk all over the street, now it is good, scholars are not as good as those craftsmen who do rough work, the most annoying thing is that even those farmers in the Zhaoxian Hall are also like guests.

Where do the 'talents' know Deng Yu's thoughts, those who live in the Zhaoxian Pavilion are not ordinary farmers, they are all agronomists with real materials, and they have unique insights into crop cultivation and ditch construction.

In just over a month, many people came to Sizhou City, of course, there were some bastards who took advantage of the chaos to eat, but these people were quickly cleared out of Sizhou City by the soldiers defending the city.

But even so, there are still too many people left, especially these scholars, all of whom went to Sizhou City and Xuyi City to become officials, and it is impossible.

However, Deng Yu will not let these scholars leave easily, the position of city management is gone, but there are a lot of teaching positions for teaching non-commissioned officers in the army to read and write.

Teaching in the army, the officer is longer than the tun, and can enjoy a salary of ten yuan per month, which is already very advantageous for the poor soldiers, and with the new positions, many of the soldiers who want to go home will stay.

Deng Yu saw the surging of talents in Sizhou City, and his heart suddenly blossomed.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and a bad news came, which made Deng Yu's mood fall to the bottom.

It turned out that after the school martial arts exercise, Deng Yu arranged for Deng Ming to return to Xuyi City to guard, and just eight days ago, Zhang Shicheng's envoy came to Xuyi City.

As soon as this envoy came, he boasted arrogantly that Zhang Shicheng's forces were rich and wealthy, with hundreds of thousands of troops, and now, Zhang Shicheng was willing to accept his refuge for the sake of Deng Yue's slight reputation, and Deng Yue wanted to become a member of the Great Zhou (the force established by Zhang Shicheng), and he needed to go to Gaoyou to meet Zhang Shicheng in person.

Deng Ming has always had a fiery temper, and when he heard this envoy despise Deng Yu so much, he was immediately furious, and he was about to order the guards to pull him out and behead him.

At the critical moment, Xuyi County ordered Li Mu to persuade him, Deng Ming thought of Deng Yu's earnest entrustment to him when he left Sizhou City, and immediately held back the anger in his heart, and did not directly kill Zhang Shicheng's envoy, but just drove him out of Xuyi City.

Zhang Shicheng's envoy escaped death, he should have been happy, but he hated Deng Ming to the extreme, and after returning to Gaoyou, he exaggerated to Zhang Shicheng about the insult he received in Xuyi City, and slandered Deng Yue for looking down on Zhang Shicheng and disdaining to be with Zhang Shicheng.

Zhang Shicheng, who was provoked, was suddenly furious, and immediately sent his younger brother Zhang Shiyi to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to exterminate Deng Yu's forces.

After Zhang Shiyi led his troops to Xuyi City, he saw that Xuyi City was eager to attack and take it, so he adopted the suggestion of his subordinate general Qiu Hong, and used the radical method of scolding Deng Yu angrily to provoke Deng Ming out of Xuyi City and ambush him.

Deng Ming carelessly fell into Zhang Shiyi's ambush, not only the whole army was wiped out, Xuyi City was lost, but also Zhang Shiyi's life was hanging by a thread.

......

"Zhang Shicheng, you're looking for death!!" Deng Yu held the letter and newspaper book in his hand, gritted his steel teeth, and roared angrily.

Deng Yue was familiar with the history of the late Yuan Dynasty, and knew that Zhang Shicheng would be besieged by a million soldiers and horses under the command of Yuan Prime Minister Totok a few months later (1354), and with Zhang Shicheng as a target to attract the Yuan army's firepower, the rest of the rebel army would be greatly reduced.

Based on this, when Deng Yue planned his expansion goals in the near future, he deliberately avoided Zhang Shicheng's forces and did not go to him for trouble, but who knew that Deng Yue did not fight Zhang Shicheng's idea, but Zhang Shicheng gave Deng Yue a ruthless blow first, which made Deng Yue not angry?!!

After calming down a little, Deng Yu said to the guards with a cold face: "Quickly send the civil and military to see you!" ”。

The guards received the order, their steps trembled and left, and after about half an hour, Deng Yu's subordinates entered the hall of the General's Mansion and stood in order.

I saw that Deng Yu's face was dark and about to drip water, and he didn't speak with a cold face, and everyone in the hall intuitively pressed the mountain in their hearts, and their breathing was suddenly a little uncomfortable.

It didn't take long for a general to step in, and everyone looked up, it was Deng Ming's good friend Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi at this time had a vicious face, and his chest was like a volcano, which could erupt at any time.

I only heard Zhang Qi earnestly bow: "Boyi conscientiously guarded the city of Xuyi for the handsome, but was calculated by Zhang thief, and was seriously injured, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. ”

When Deng Yu heard this, he glanced at Zhang Qi, who was angry, and seemed to be aroused by the anger in his heart, walked down the high hall with a frosty face, personally helped Zhang Qi up, and shouted coldly: "This commander plans to raise troops to fight against Zhang Shicheng, do you have a clever plan to help?" ”
