Chapter 16 Recruitment

Ask for recommendations, ask for collections, ask for rewards, hehe

Seven days later, Li Rusong and the infantry led by Pan Bao successfully converged and returned to the dangerous mountain.

This robbery of Hamhung Mansion can be said to be a great success, and the Koreans were busy fleeing for their lives and fighting fires, and no one had the courage to resist the cavalry of Li Rusong and others. The cavalry was left uninhabited, except for two unlucky ghosts whose heads were smashed through the eaves, and the others were unscathed.

Pan Bao and 100 other arsonists suffered no casualties, and before leaving, they killed seven or eight North Korean soldiers and took their armor and weapons away. These people all used the large cloth bags prepared in advance to pack the silver, and then tied the cloth bags to their shoulders, and along the route that had been discussed before, they evacuated Hamxing Mansion as quickly as possible, and directly loaded the silver two trucks outside the city and returned to the dangerous mountain.

In this way, after Li Rusong led the cavalry to break off, Pan Bao and other foot soldiers drove dozens of carriages to go first, and quickly left North Korea.

"I'm overestimating the IQ of these sticks! There was such a big thing, and it was actually infighting first! I knew that the young master should do a few more votes to help them in their struggle" Listening to Cheng Yi's report with tears and laughter, Li Rusong was completely convinced of this group of strange sticks.

Seven or eight nobles were slashed and killed by Li Rusong, and Li Rusong was also terrified afterwards, fearing that the Korean army would pursue and retaliate on a large scale. Therefore, he led all the cavalry to take all kinds of remote roads, and even prepared to go to the sea and take the sea route when he was forced by the enemy to have no way to escape.

But the performance of the North Koreans surprised everyone: not only did they not send troops to hunt them down, but they did not even investigate who did it!

The powerful ministers, relatives, and nobles of North Korea were busy fighting for the property and power left by those dead nobles, and they almost did not send a single soldier to hunt down Li Rusong and others.

Treacherous mountains

With the 100,000 taels of silver he snatched from North Korea, as soon as Li Rusong returned to the dangerous mountain, he was stunned by everything in front of him: Is this still a dangerous mountain city?

The city was originally one in the east and one in the west, with a dilapidated military camp, and a large number of wooden houses in the middle of the city, where many women and old people came and went, full of happiness and satisfaction; Near the city wall were adobe barracks, and two tall soldiers stood at the door with spears in their hands, wearing brand-new mandarin duck jackets, and their faces were full of fierceness; The innermost part of a simple and dangerous mountain general's mansion has begun to take shape, but Daddy Li Chengliang went out to train the soldiers, only sighing porridge followed a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, and a group of scribes were busy with something.

"Senior Brother He!" When he got closer, Li Rusong was stunned, this middle-aged man was actually He Xinyin.

"Senior Brother Ha Luha, he is really the next generation descendant of Mingyang Patriarch! I have only been here for a few days, and I have heard countless people praise the exploits of my junior brother: a fire to kill the Jurchen cavalry to deter the enemy, burn hundreds of Jurchen Tartars, bravely save the people of the Ming Dynasty, and face thousands of Jurchen iron horsemen alone without fear. Senior brother, do you really doubt that you are the reincarnation of Master Yangming? He Xinyin smiled very happily, his junior brother was bright, and his senior brother Wang Xue's face was very bright.

"Ha Luha, thanks to my senior brother's help in the imperial court, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get so much gunpowder!" Li Rusong smiled and bowed to He Xin, and after the latter happily returned the salute, the two sat and drank the coarse tea poured from the porridge and chatted.

Through He Xinyin's introduction, Li Rusong learned that the Mongolian Tumen Khan and Duoyan Dong Fox soldiers invaded in two ways, and the border passes were continuously lost, Luo Wenzhi, the general soldier of Liaodong, was killed in battle, Tieling was also lost, and the entire Liaodong was in chaos.

And He Xinyin happened to be in Quang Ninh at the time, visiting friends to give lectures. Seeing that the situation was erosive, He Xinyin immediately made a decision to take the families of the Li family and the families of Li Rusong's brothers who were young and Li Chengliang away from Guangning and went directly to the dangerous mountains. Sure enough, with the death of Luo Wenzhi, the Ming army in Liaodong was in chaos, and there was a military rebellion in Guangning, and hundreds of people were killed by the rebels, but only these people who were taken away by He Xinyin survived. Following He Xinyin and a group of Wang Xue's disciples, he traveled thousands of miles to the dangerous mountain.

"Liaodong is actually in chaos like this? Fortunately, the senior brother has taken precautions, please accept the worship of the younger brother" Li Rusong's eyes turned red, stood up, and knelt down on one knee to bow to He Xinyin.

"Hey! If you can't loosen it! Senior brother's greatest wish in this life is to help the world and save the people, what is this. Don't be like this, hurry up" He Xinyin hurriedly helped Li Rusong up, his eyes were full of relief.

"Teacher Wang Gen, I really didn't see the wrong person. This Li Rusong is different from other Ming people, he only has Ming people in his heart. Not controlled by the secular Cheng Zhu Lixue, not empty talk, this is the foundation of my Wang Xue's great prosperity" sighed in his heart, He Xinyin called a few apprentices he brought over to meet Li Rusong.

He Xinyin brought three apprentices this time: two male apprentices Li Xiangyu and Niu Hua, and a female disciple Zhang Zhixin.

These three people inherited the ideas of the Wang Gen Taizhou School: they have systematically studied agriculture and other livelihood academics, while Zhang Zhixin has studied medicine.

"Ha Lu Ha gave birth to my parents, and I know my senior brother Fushan!" When Li Rusong heard what these three people were good at, he was immediately overjoyed, and he saluted He Xinyin again and again with a happy face, and the latter also stroked his beard with pride.

"Hehe, senior brother, junior brother, I made a fortune when I went to North Korea this time. Are you interested in seeing how I train and recruit soldiers? When He Xinyin asked Li Rusong about his next plan, Li Rusong smiled and invited.

He Xinyin was full of curiosity about his junior brother who had defeated Tartar several times and defeated Wang Gao, and happily accepted Li Rusong's invitation.

Sending two male apprentices to continue planning the development of Dangerous Mountain City, He Xinyin took Zhang Zhixin and followed Li Rusong to a high platform outside the military camp in Dangerous Mountain City. Li Chengliang was already standing under the stage, affectionately chatting with the people in the audience, and when he saw his son and He Xinyin coming over, he confessed his guilt and led He Xinyin to the high platform.

At this time, a large number of people had gathered in the audience, and Li Rusong had ordered Cheng Yi and others to come to the meeting with all the residents of the dangerous mountain.

For this heroic boy Li Rusong, who was in trouble to save the dangerous mountains, did not hesitate to risk alone in order to rescue the people, and overwhelmed the Tartars, everyone was full of gratitude and awe, so as soon as they heard that Li Rusong had something important to announce, every family put down their work and came to the high platform.

"Uncles, brothers, old and young masters! Aunts, aunts, sisters, sisters! Today, Rusong summoned everyone here, not for anything else, I just want to ask you: Are we doing well now? Do you want to continue to live a stable life and live a better life! Standing on the platform, feeling the awe-inspiring gaze below, Li Rusong cleared his throat and shouted loudly.

"Little brother of the Li family! The life of my king Dazhu's entire family was single-handedly taken down from the hands of the Tartars! My life is yours, say what do you want me to do, if my Wang Dazhu wrinkles his eyebrows, he will not be a man! As soon as Li Rusong's words fell, a man in the crowd with a simple face and a thick face squeezed to the front, holding the edge of the platform, and shouted with a red face and a thick neck.

"That's right! Count me Liu Mazi as one, I just ask Brother Li to be kind to my family, so I am willing to die! ”

"And my sophomore dog!"

With the first one to take the lead, countless people suddenly rushed up and shouted hoarsely, as if this was not a conscription for war, but a job that was paid for nothing and did not work.

The people are not stupid, and they all understand the meaning of Li Rusong's words as soon as they hear it. Although they were reluctant to serve as soldiers these years, their previous experience made it clear to them that without a reliable army, they would not be able to live and work in peace. And Li Rusong was alone and rescued them from the hands of the Tartars, which is a great kindness. In the eyes of the simple people of Liaodong, such a general's son is worthy of their trust and help with their lives!

"Do you see it? This is the real people's desire! When Wang Gen and my master Jiuquan learned about this, he would definitely be able to smile at Jiuquan" looked at his junior brother dotingly, and He Xin said with tears in his eyes.

"Good! Since the elders look up to my Li family's father and son, my Li family will not be sorry for everyone. This time, we will recruit 1,000 young people, who will be in charge of food and housing, without military salaries, and each person will be divided into 30 acres of land, and there will be no need to pay taxes. Those who are not selected to join the army will be divided into fifteen acres of land for each family, and the tax will be paid after two years according to this year's tax amount, and if the court increases the tax, my Li family father and son will pay out of their pockets to make up for it! If anyone dares to take your land in the future, it will be the Tartars, my Li family's father and son, who will take you to fight, and it will be the dignitaries and dignitaries of my Li family's father and son who will fight for their official positions, and don't advance and retreat with you! Glancing at his father, under his father's encouraging eyes, Li Rusong felt a wave of pride in his heart, and loudly announced his plan.

"Swear allegiance to General Li Chengliang! Li Rusong Gongzi! As soon as Li Rusong's words fell, the audience suddenly heard a tsunami-like voice, and hundreds of people cheered with joy on their faces, and couldn't wait for the start of recruitment.

"Rusong, you are worthy of being my son Li Chengliang, what this people want all their lives is nothing more than land and stability, just thirty acres of land in exchange for a thousand loyal soldiers, even if you lose this official, it is worth it. Let it go, Daddy has your back! Li Chengliang couldn't close his mouth happily, he has been worrying about recruiting soldiers in the past few days, give more money, be tight, don't give money, I'm afraid that no one will take care of him, and he will be so worried that he can't eat and can't sleep at night.

As a result, as soon as his son came back, he easily solved the matter, and these people still volunteered to join the army, which made Lao Li relieved and had to admit that his son was more capable than himself!

"Hehe, it's not like Daddy you taught me since I was a child. I'll look at the next thing, Dad, go to Uncle Leopard to count the silver taels. Leaning sideways and whispering to my father, the robbery was a great success, and Li Rusong called Li Ning, Cheng Yi and others to prepare for recruitment.

"Tsk, I'm starting to wonder if he's the reincarnation of Master Yangming? This son can be literate and martial, and he will definitely do something in the future. And it is most for the sake of the people, successful and not arrogant. Hehe, the old man can rest assured that he will leave you here" He Xinyin, who had been watching everything, had his eyes shining at this time, and he was amazed by Li Rusong.

"Master, this Li Rusong is much more interesting than you said! I'm looking forward to his next performance, if he can follow him to overthrow Cheng Zhu Lixue, he will not hesitate to do so! Zhang Zhixin pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly everything was eclipsed, and the country and the city were overwhelmed.

"It's finally this step! You can do it even harder! Tumen Khan, Dong Fox, wash your neck and wait for death! Looking at the people who were full of trust in him, Li Rusong's heart surged, and he said to himself.
