Lin Yiqing unconsciously turned his head and glanced at Yuan Weiting, who was standing not far away, at this time, Yuan Weiting's waist was straight, his face was solemn, and he looked like a standard soldier.

It's just that Lin Yiqing understands that Yuan Weiting at this moment is suffering the pain of losing his son in his heart, but when he was performing official duties, he didn't show it in the slightest.

He had already learned from Yuan Baoling that there was a terrible plague in Yuan Weiting's hometown, and Yuan Weiting's son Yuan Keling was unfortunately infected and finally died, because he couldn't stand the blow of the death of his son who was only 3 years old, Yuan Weiting's wife Yu went crazy.

Such misfortune is unbearable for anyone.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start the drill!" Lin Yiqing nodded to Yuan Baoling.

Standing on the seashore, looking at the majestic forts in the distance and the warships anchored in the sea, Zhang Yanlin was very excited.

Moreover, he had seen the legendary man who had been widely praised in the newspapers.

Zhang Yanlin likes to read illustrated books such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", and "Speaking of the Tang Dynasty", but since seeing the serialization about Lin Yiqing's war in Japan in the "Dianshizhai Pictorial", Lin Yiqing has taken the place of those traditional heroes in his mind.

With the long whistle, the battleship in the sea began to move, and Zhang Yanlin saw that the red dragon flag was slowly rising on the mast of the battleship, and the cannons began to turn.

"Boom! Rumble! With a loud bang, the guns of the battleship flashed with dark red fire and thick black smoke, and the cannons on the shore batteries also roared.

Although Zhang Yulin knew that this was a drill, he was still trembling with excitement when he saw this spectacular scene for the first time.

The shelling of the battleship was noticeably more accurate than the fire of the artillery on the battery. Zhang Yanlin does not have a telescope though. But his eyes have always been good. He clearly saw that many of the shells fired by the battleship (of course, the drill shells) hit the battery, and although the guns on the battery fired were terrifying, all the shells fell into the sea next to the battleship, and none of them hit.

As the battleship continued to bombard, a group of soldiers in bright red uniforms rushed to the shore in small boats, shouting and rushing straight to the battery, they ran and fired. Soldiers from the battery also came down, fired at them, and launched a counterattack, and the two sides soon got into a scuffle.

The exercise ended after a short time, and the result was the same as Zhang Yulin thought: the fort, as the defensive side, was broken by the warships at sea.

This short exercise can be said to have taught Zhang Yanlin an incomparably vivid lesson.

He didn't realize at this time that his military career had actually begun now.

Come to the school. He talked to his friends about what he saw and heard, and the friends were stunned.

At the end of the day's studies. Zhang Yanlin returned home to help his parents with the housework, and after dinner, he felt a little tired and soon fell asleep.

In his sleep, he seemed to have come to another time and space and saw a different scene.

……

"Chubby, Chubby......" Zhu Sheng's voice, of course Luo Jun is familiar with it. So, Xiaopang turned to look at Zhu Sheng's head, feeling that Zhu Sheng's mood was different from the past, "What's the matter, why are you in such a hurry today?" ”

"I heard that my mother said that you are leaving, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I came to see you today, I am really reluctant! Why are you leaving so quickly, isn't it not yet the annual conscription date? Zhu Sheng seemed to be a little puzzled.

"I don't know, it seems that a batch has been temporarily recruited this year. Anyway, I'm going to join the army. Haha, I'm going to come back on a tall horse, so that you won't be bullied by others again, and we don't have to catch fish to eat," Luo Jun said a little excitedly, he had to grab Zhu Sheng's shoulders with both hands, "I will definitely come back." ”

"However, I still don't want you to leave me and Ah Lin so soon. Then you have to take care, I will miss you. Zhu Sheng said.

"Well, I will." Luo Jun looked at the horizon in the distance, where the afterglow of the sun gradually spread out.

Both of them were stunned, but Zhu Sheng spoke first; "Let's go, I'll go pack up with you. Oh, by the way, there's this," Zhu Sheng took out a shiny dagger from his pocket, "My family's ancestral self-defense weapon, although it is a murder weapon, but all of my family members use it as a talisman, and with him, you can have a safe journey." If you take it, you'll be safe all the time. ”

"How can this be done, that's your family heirloom, how can I take it, you take it back! I'm going to have a lot of strength, and I'll be fine. Luo Jun said and shoved the dagger into Zhu Sheng's arms.

"You take it, this is for you, there will be a lot of wars in the future, so you can have something to protect yourself." Zhu Sheng insisted on giving it to Luo Jun.

"Hey, don't say it, you take it, this is your treasure, heirloom, you can't just give it to outsiders," Luo Jun put his hand on Zhu Sheng's shoulder, "Let's go, pack up with me." ”

Zhu Sheng couldn't resist him, so he had to follow Luo Jun to pack some necessary clothes for the march.

The south gate was crowded with a lot of people, not because of the bazaar it had, but because of the strangely sad smell of the crowd. Parents are explaining what they are saying to their children, and the children are listening attentively.

On the one hand, it is the heroic spirit of the teenagers, and their ambition to go into battle to kill the enemy and defend the country; On the one hand, there is the unstoppable entrustment of their parents, and it is their wrinkles that have aged a lot. When the wind rises, it raises the blood of young men, but it blows white but their hair.

"You have to pay attention to the clothes when you get there, it's already cold. And you have to listen to Shangguan's words, pay attention to your own safety, no matter what, you have to come back safely, you know? The mother said to her son, who was already very manly, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Well, I will, Mother! I will be a great general, and then I will ride a tall horse to pick you up and take you to the general's mansion. ”

"Jun'er, you have to protect yourself, we are your son, we are all old, you know?" The old father did not shed tears, but his back was already a little bent.

"I know, I'll take notice. Father and mother. You have to pay attention to one thing......"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! A drum beat caught everyone's attention. The appearance of conscription generals. It means that the soldiers are about to begin.

A middle-aged man with a full beard walked to the high platform in the center of the school field, followed by an old general with a red tassel around his neck and gray hair on his temples.

The middle-aged man began to speak: "Everyone be quiet, we are going to start ordering troops, this time Admiral Song will personally lead the troops, everyone should be careful." ”

"Ah, it's Admiral Song......" There was a burst of cheers in the schoolyard.

The chief soldier began to read the names of the enlisted soldiers.

"Wang Zong!"

"Here!" Hearing a loud voice, I saw a person walking out of the crowd. Stand in an open space in front of the high platform of the school grounds.

"Hu Yuan!"

"Yes!" Another young man ran out of the crowd, but he was not as mature as the previous one, obviously a little casual, but from the eyes he could see that he was a very tiger teenager.

"Jiang Sheng!"

"Here!"

"Andy Yang!"

"Here!"

"Luo Jun!"

"Here!" Almost when it was almost over, Luo Jun's name was pronounced, and he also let out a sigh of relief, shouting with an amazing momentum in a voice that had been held in his chest for a long time. He walked up and lined up with the young man in front of the high platform in the middle of the school field.

The chief soldier glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth turned up into a kind and encouraging smile. At this time, Luo Jun was a little absent-minded, and the probes left and right. Like looking for something.

The drums of war finally stopped, and the counting was over. Some of the teenagers who had not been drafted had disappointed expressions.

The chief soldier whispered to the old Admiral Song for a moment. Then I saw him walk to the middle of the high platform in the school field and start facing everyone.

"Everyone be quiet, Admiral Song has something to say to you, please be quiet." As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and made a downward motion.

Whether it is the people watching the excitement in the market, the frustrated young people who have been defeated, or the parents who have sent their children off to enlist in the army, they have gradually stopped, and the school field has become very quiet. Looking in the direction of everyone's eyes, it was Admiral Song who walked to the center of the high platform at some point.

"Folks." Maybe his lips were a little dry, he licked it with his tongue and faced the crowd, "I'm very happy and thank you, thank you for having so many villagers, you are willing to send your son to the battlefield for the country, when the Japanese invaded, what you made was not only a kind of family affection, but also a sacrifice that almost gave up everything." Really, thank you, thank you......" He clenched his fists, bent down, and gave him a deep squeeze.

Then he turned to the young men who were about to enlist in the army. "Seeing you like this reminds me of when I joined the army, but it's different from that time. Now is the autumn of the country's survival, and that is the day when you go into the barracks and sleep with your head covered, but you can also mix the emperor's food. Moreover, you must understand that what you are going to do in the future is to take up the sword and gun in your hands and rush at your enemies, to catch the Japanese bandits who want to seize your homeland and the property and even life of your loved ones. ”

"However, all of you have relatives, friends, and families, and there are no soldiers who do not love their families, I have lived for so long, fought for so many years, but I still know this, I also love my family, but I have to stick to my position, because I am a general, I escape, then our defense of the country is over, I am the one who survives, and it is the whole country that falls. But you are different, perhaps, you will be deserters. But that is not possible, otherwise you will also be executed according to military law, and will be spurned by the people, so you will have no way to escape, in this case, do you still want to join the army to fight and defend your homeland? ”

"Yes! We want it! The Japanese must be exhausted from coming from the sea, so we must be prepared to defend in advance......"

"Yes, we are going to beat them up......" The masses were no longer as sad as they were just now, and everyone began to cheer up, everyone knew that this was for the country and for themselves. And the recruits lined up in front of the high platform began to shout a loud slogan: "Defend the family and defend the country!" Swear to kill the Wokos! ”

The slogan over and over again made everyone's mood even higher, Admiral Song nodded slightly, showing a relieved smile, and inadvertently noticed Luo Jun, but at this time, Luo Jun did not have the momentum when he first appeared, he glanced in the crowd from time to time, as if he was looking for someone.

At this time, the chief soldier was on his right knee to the ground, half-kneeling and clenching his fist, and reported to Admiral Song that various affairs had been prepared. Request an unplug. Admiral Song didn't pay attention to Luo Jun anymore. Turn around and take out the command flag from the flag soldier's hand. Delivered to the adjutant. I only listened to the adjutant's order: "The new barracks listen to the order, the general orders, open the dial, go out of the south gate, until the Biliu River." ”

The recruits waved goodbye to their relatives, and there was indeed too much reluctance in that scene, after all. This time, I don't know when I can see each other again, maybe this is already a farewell in this life.

Luo Jun shouted at his parents and Zhu Sheng: "Father and mother, I will come back, and I will ride a tall horse to pick you up." Zhu Zhu, to learn to do business hard, to make a lot of money, to help those poor, and also told Ah Lin to study hard. I want him to be my military advisor in the future. Remember, we're going to catch fish together in the future......"

Uncle Luo and the fat aunt couldn't stop nodding. There seemed to be a few more wrinkles in the corners of their eyes with the tears they were holding, and it turned out that there were also them, but this time they came faster and deeper. Zhu Sheng also kept nodding, "I'll tell Ah Lin." They couldn't hear what Luo Jun was saying when they were separated by the soldiers who came up to maintain order, but they really couldn't hear it......

Seeing that the team continued to move away, and the crowd began to disperse, Uncle Luo and the fat aunt turned around and pulled Zhu Sheng, who was still watching, "Let's go, they have already gone away." ”

"Well, it's a pity that I didn't wait for Ah Lin's last face." Zhu Sheng hung his head in frustration.

"Silly boy, didn't Jun'er say it? He'll be back, and we'll have a chance to meet in the future. Uncle Luo touched his head.

"Yes, yes, this stupid boy ......" the fat sister-in-law also spoke.

"Ahh Whose wild child, how did he ride the horse so fast......" There was an exclamation in the distance. The three of them couldn't help but look there.

"It's Ah Lin, it's Ah Lin, he's here." Zhu Sheng trotted all the way over, "Ah Lin, hurry, Xiaopang just left, go and chase him, you can still see him, they walked from the south gate, ......" Without waiting for him to finish, Zhang Yulin kicked his horse, all the way to the south, and went away.

Rushing along the road outside the south gate, Zhang Yulin didn't dare to stop for a moment, because he knew that this would be a long time, maybe a lifetime. He looked up and saw in the distance the line of people in front of him on the road. He began to shout, "Chubby! Chubby! I'm Ah Lin, I'm here to see you! Chubby! Chubby ......"

He rode his horse as fast as he could, and only a moment before he approached the center of the group, Zhang Yanlin's eyes searched back and forth.

As if hearing some familiar voice, Luo Jun looked back and saw a familiar figure on horseback from a distance. He rushed out of the ranks, ignoring the consequences of doing so that he had already enlisted. He kept running to the back of the line, and kept shouting, "Ah Lin! Ah Lin! Ah Lin! I am here! I'm here ......."

Finally, Zhang Yulin saw Luo Jun's figure. He jumped off his horse, fell to the ground, and immediately got up and ran on, and kept running...... Then it's two people walking up to each other and a strong hug.

"I'll go with you, and we'll go together to fight the Japanese invaders." At this moment, Zhang Yulin didn't know why he said such a thing, perhaps, this was what he really wanted. Luo Jun was a little stunned at first, and then nodded happily, "Okay, I'll go and talk to Lord Commander." ”
