The time in Wuchang Mansion in Hubei Province has reached the middle of May, the weather is gradually getting hotter, people have taken off their heavy cotton clothes, put on light shirts, the cool breeze and warm sunshine in May sprinkled on the body of the people are very comfortable, many people have come out of the house to the street.

Although Wuchang Mansion had a catastrophe a year ago, the squires and wealthy households were swept away, and many civilians were also looted, but since the Great Zhou army occupied Hubei this year, the current governor of Hubei, Hua Yan, vigorously persuaded farmers to cultivate mulberry, and applied to Pang Gang from Shandong for the transfer of a large number of agricultural tools, seeds, and a large number of materials such as ploughing cattle, and is slowly recovering.

The arrival of this batch of materials greatly alleviated the situation of material tension in Hubei, and at the same time, Huayan ordered to start measuring the land again, and the rich squires in Hubei were slaughtered by the rogues and left a lot of ownerless land, most of these lands are fertile land, as long as someone can cultivate it well, God will be gracious again, and it will be another bumper harvest year in a few months.

In the past six months, Huayan has been so busy that he has lost more than 10 pounds, and the problem of Hubei is not only a problem of farming, but also the problem of displaced people.

Fortunately, Pang Gang issued a conscription order a few years ago, requiring that conscription begin in Hubei, which greatly relieved the pressure on the displaced people and eliminated potential hidden dangers.

The west gate of Wuchang City was wide open, and more than a dozen sergeants armed with mini rifles were divided into two rows under the leadership of a small flag, standing neatly at the city gate, looking at the passers-by seriously, at this time, from the west gate of the gate came an ordinary-looking, with a curious look on his face, a young man of about twenty years old, he was wearing a black short cotton jacket and a pair of gray trousers, and a pair of torn cotton shoes with exposed toes on his feet.

I saw him come to the gate of the city, walked in front of a row of sergeants, bowed to a sergeant who seemed to be the leader of this group, and then asked with a smile: "Dare to ask this military master, do you still want to recruit soldiers here?" ”

This sergeant was a small banner, and after raising his eyes and carefully examining him, he nodded kindly: "Yes, we are recruiting soldiers here, do you want to join the army?" ”

"yes, yes." The young man hurriedly replied: "I heard that Wuchang City is recruiting soldiers here, and I am here to be a soldier!" ”

"What's your name?"

"My name is Pi Erdan!"

The little flag was silent for a while and then asked, "Erba, being a soldier is very hard, can you stand it?" ”

The young man clapped his chest loudly, "It's okay, as long as I can eat enough, I'm not afraid of any hardship!" ”

"Hehe" Xiaoqi smiled after hearing this, reached out and patted the young man's sturdy shoulder and shook it vigorously, but the young man always stood firmly uh, Xiaoqi's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, nodded and smiled: "Okay, yes, it's a good seedling to be a soldier, go!" The registration point is at the door of the governor's yamen, you go straight forward from here, until you walk in front of a compound, there is a registration point, you go there and someone will naturally ask you something, with your body board I estimate that there should be no big problem to be a soldier. ”

"Thank you, thank you."

The young man nodded and entered the city gate, and then walked forward quickly, and after walking for a while, he saw rows of people lining up inside, and then walked forward quickly.

"Hurry, hurry, we're all in line."

In front of the prefect's yamen, many homeless people lined up in several rows, a long line until the street entrance, most of these homeless people are young and middle-aged, they slowly moved forward with the crowd in front of them, while secretly looking at the sergeants who were standing solemnly around them with envious eyes, those sergeants were all wearing black helmets and black armor, holding long firearms, and there was a water bladder and a small leather bag hanging on their bodies, and some of them also had a few black iron bumps on their bodies, although the homeless people didn't know what this thing was, But that doesn't stop them from feeling in awe of these things.

Pi Erdan stood in the middle of the queue, looking at the homeless people in front of him who were taken down after the officer who was interviewed passed the inspection, his heart was full of a trace of envy, and he knew that as long as he could pass the officer's interview and become a soldier, he would be able to eat and dress warmly from now on, and no longer have to worry about sleeping in the leaky and dilapidated house at home, and being woken up in the middle of the night in the icy and snowy winter.

Thinking of this, Pi Erdan touched more than a dozen copper plates in his arms, which was the last property on his body, and the kind officer who gave him a silver ingot a few days ago, it was by relying on this ingot of silver that Pi Erdan walked from home to Wuchang Mansion without being starved to death on the way to this thousands of miles. Pi Erdan had already thought in his heart that he would also be like that officer, riding a tall horse, carrying a firearm on his back, holding a saber in his hand, and being a majestic cavalryman, that would be in vain for him to be a soldier.

Just when Pi Erdan was thinking happily, a strong force came from the side, pushing the caught off guard Pi Erdan out of the queue.

Pi Erdan didn't pay attention, and was pushed out a few steps away, and sat on the ground with a butt piercing.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw that there were several homeless people standing in the place where he was standing and looking at him with a sneer, and they drove out several people who were queuing around them, and then swaggered in, and the few homeless people who were driven out did not dare to say anything, and stood aside and looked at them angrily.

"Why are you pushing me!"

Pi Erdan, who was furious in his heart, stood up, he patted the dirt on his ass and walked to the front of a few people who were rampant and rampant, and who were not good at first glance, and asked angrily, although Pi Erdan was upright, but it didn't mean that he was a good bully, and sometimes it could even be called impulsive, which can be seen from the last time he dared to beat the little leader of the rogue who fell off the horse.

Furious, Pi Erdan strode to the place where Pi Erdan was standing just now, and said angrily: "Why are you pushing me!" ”

The first one is a tall and burly, fierce middle-aged homeless person, who looks like hob meat in the market, he stared at Pi Erdan a few times with squinted eyes, stretched out two fingers and tapped Pi Erdan's chest twice, and then sneered: "Why? Boy, you ask me why I'm pushing you. Uncle tells you, I have taken a fancy to this place, so you have to move the land for the uncle, understand, boy, if you don't understand the uncle, I don't mind teaching you what the rules are with my fists! ”

"You straight thief!"

"Bang!" The sound of an object hitting sounded, a scream rang out, and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground also came to everyone's ears.

Everyone saw that the homeless man who was still arrogantly standing in front of Pi Erdan just now fell to the ground and snorted, it turned out that after listening to the words of this homeless, Pi Erdan, who couldn't bear it anymore, smashed it with a fist without saying a word, knocking the proud homeless man to the ground.

"Grass, brothers, get this bitch to death!"

The homeless man who was knocked to the ground by Pi Erdan's punch clutched his chin and shouted loudly, spitting out two bloody teeth from his mouth as he got up, and greeted his companion indistinctly.

It was only at this time that several companions around suddenly realized that they rushed towards Pi Erdan, they rushed over, cursing loudly in their mouths, Pi Erdan also roared angrily, waved his fists and responded, and in a blink of an eye, he was hit with those people.

Pi Erdan had also practiced martial arts with others at home, so he was not afraid in the face of five or six homeless people, and fought with them, and after a while, he beat down three homeless people, and the price he paid was that he was hit by several punches and kicks. Pi Erdan, who had received a few punches and kicks, did not fall, but became more and more courageous the more he fought, beating the remaining four or five homeless people into defeat and retreat.

They were in a mess, and the homeless people who were originally queuing around them naturally couldn't line up. As we all know, the Chinese people love to watch the lively Tian surname is very strong, and they all gathered together to cheer for the Pi Erdan and his party, and for a while, the entire recruitment venue was in chaos.

"What are you doing?"

At this moment, an angry roar came from the side, and then a middle-aged general wearing a black delicate armor led dozens of sergeants armed with Mini rifles to separate the crowd and quickly surrounded the fighting. The general walked in front of everyone without saying a word, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and indiscriminately split his head and brain at the people who were fighting, and it was a whip, which made the homeless people cry and cry for their mothers.

The majestic general glared at everyone and asked murderously, "Tell this official, why are you fighting?" ”

"Master Jun, the villain has something to say!" Pi Erdan immediately raised his hand.

"You say!" The general pointed at the skin with a horsewhip.

At this time, Pi Erdan was punched twice in the face, and the torn cotton jacket on his body was even more broken after being kicked a few times, looking very embarrassed, he looked at the general without fear and said angrily: "Master Qiqi, these people cut in line, and pushed the villain to the ground for no reason, and the villain couldn't see it, so he fought with them, and looked at the military master." ”

"Hmm!" The general's sharp gaze looked at the few homeless people who were standing cowering on the side, and said in a deep voice: "You say, is that so? ”

After listening to the general's words, several homeless people also knew that they had been seen by so many people, and they couldn't hide this matter anyway, so they knelt on the ground and begged: "Master Jun, it's the villain who was confused for a while, and he was blinded by oil, so you will spare the villain for a while!" ”
