Autumn is high and refreshing, especially on the edge of Peishui, looking at the stars in the sky and watching the harvest in the ground, that feeling is really refreshing.

The lame sixth brother is in a very good mood now, and after drinking two taels of wine in the evening, his daughter-in-law fried two more meat dishes. Have a beautiful meal, and then go out of the village to make a good tour and digest the food. This is simply the day of the gods.

This is Yongning Village, one of the countless villages and towns in Peishui, and you can guess by listening to the name, this village was first formed by the hungry people of Yongning Prefecture.

However, ten years have passed, and now there are people living in the village from all over the world, and the population has swelled more than tenfold, and now there are more than 1,000 permanent residents in Yongning Village.

If you want to say who is the most famous in Yongning Village, it is, of course, the lame sixth brother. Don't look at the sixth brother's age, he is only twenty-seven or eighteen, his identity is terrible. He is not only the chief of Yongning Village, but also the chief instructor of the militia groups in the surrounding ten villages.

The lame sixth brother's house is the most generous in the village, it is said that when this house was built, General Xiao Wanghou and General Wu Zhan were all involved, and even after the house was built, the Flowing Fire Lord came to drink a glass of wine.

Don't be unconvinced, the lame sixth brother is your personal soldier of the general of the martial arts, and on the night of the Peishui tragedy, he killed an awakened person with his own hands, and saved his daughter-in-law. Later, in the process of pursuit, the lame sixth brother's leg was blown off by an inflammatory blast technique, and the sixth brother was finally lame after not being treated in time in the chaotic battle.

It is said that the sixth brother cried at that time, and he was snuffed out when he saw the light on his official career. If he didn't go lame, he would have killed a fire cultivator with his own hands, and now he would have to be a centurion for the next time, even if he couldn't be a centurion, he would be a personal soldier by the side of the general of martial arts, it would be amazing.

The lame sixth brother has been depressed for several months, and he has never even smiled when he marries his daughter-in-law. Watching his brothers in the Black Iron Legion one by one, there are five or six people, and many of them who are not as good as him have begun to be promoted, but he can only watch at home, and no one can stand that kind of mood.

Fortunately, when the expansion of the Black Iron Legion was completed, the wise Lord Flowing Fire made an important move. Liuhuo actually ordered the implementation of the national compulsory military system in Peishui.

Good guy, this decree has caused an uproar in the world. Throughout the history of Zhongzhou, there has never been a dynasty that implemented the all-people military system.

From that day on, all men, except for the elderly and women, all men, who were over the age of 16, were organized into the militia and underwent uniform military training in their spare time.

According to the plan of Flowing Fire, as long as you are a resident with Peishui's household registration and enjoy the various preferential policies given to you by Peishui, then you have the obligation to serve in the military. Under Pei Shui's rule, the children studied for free, the land rent was the lowest in the whole Chu country, and the Black Iron Legion also protected everyone. You enjoy so many rights, then you should do your duty.

Peishui is my home, and protection depends on everyone. This slogan was shouted back then. In this context, Peishui's militia was built, the chiefs of each village were elected, and the second spring of the lame sixth brother finally came.

It's not just the spring of the lame sixth brother, in fact, this is the spring of all the wounded soldiers in the Black Iron Legion, in this militia system, a large number of Black Iron members who can't continue to be soldiers for various reasons are placed, and these most loyal soldiers form the most basic administrative system of Peishui, and the Flowing Fire Decree has been implemented without reservation.

In the eyes of daydreaming, Flowing Fire is no longer an outlier in the Chu State, and Flowing Fire is simply an outlier in human history. In all dynasties, it is simply unimaginable that administrative orders can be carried out in the countryside without reservation.

In the normal administrative system, due to cultural differences, because of the level of education of the common people, and even because of geography, it is already inconceivable that administrative orders can be transmitted to the township level.

But Peishui is different, Peishui is a completely new land, the people who have been devastated by the Peishui mine for decades have been impoverished, and so many displaced people are also desperate people with no foundation. It can be said that what was handed over to the flowing fire was a completely blank piece of paper.

Through the division of land, it can be seen that there are no landlords with more than 500 acres of land on both sides of Peishui, and a large amount of land is simply barren and ownerless. To put it simply, there is no power in Peishui that can compete with the flowing fire.

Flowing fire loves the people and protects the people, on both sides of the Pei River, the flowing fire builds schools, and lowers the land endowment, and also provides countless opportunities for the people to make money to support their families, it can be said that the flowing fire has won the hearts of the people.

What's more, on the night of the Peishui tragedy, for the life and death of these poor people, Liuhuo actually turned his face against the Eight Hundred Fire Cultivators, and actually raised the butcher's knife against the awakened.

It was the first time that the grass people knew what it was like to be protected. The Flowing Fire really protects us grass people.

It was after the Peishui tragedy, when the prestige of Liuhuo was at its highest, and with the aftermath of the great victory, the implementation of the national military service system of Liuhuo was extremely smooth.

No one objected, not even the slightest complaint. The blood and fire that night made the people understand a truth, in the end, they still have to rely on themselves to protect themselves. What kind of bullshit good men are not soldiers, what is more than less, these ideas that have ruled the hearts of the peasants for thousands of years were all abandoned at that moment.

Of course, there are also those who can't think about it, there is never a shortage of those guys who just want to enjoy their rights and don't want to fulfill their obligations, but none of these people dare to jump out and oppose it. Ya, if you don't want to stay in Peishui, no one will keep you, you think Peishui is not good, you can go, and no one will stop you.

But who is willing to live like a honeypot like Peishui?

Ten years is a long time that can grind all the harsh taxes into a habit. This is a reincarnation, and in this reincarnation, there is enough for everyone to adapt to the new deal of the flow of fire, and there are no complaints. Because in ten years, everyone has long regarded this kind of life as a habit.

In the past ten years, every eligible man has participated in countless trainings, and the training time is not less than three months a year.

Lord Drifting Fire is smart, he knows how to motivate people. In each militia group, all the militia soldiers who are the most well-trained and have won the top ten in the competition can actually exempt the whole family from taxes for one year. And the best training can also be supplemented to the Black Iron Legion first, and from then on live a good life of tax exemption at home and eating imperial food by himself.

This is terrible, the entire Peishui martial arts storm is rising, everyone is proud of practicing martial arts, and all young people are taking joining the Black Iron Army as the greatest glory.

From that day on, both sides of Peishui became the Chu State and even the mainland of Zhongzhou, the area with the highest military value, where there were martial arts training grounds, towns and towns were built defensive walls, every day from morning to night, people could see at least four or five times in the fields of the militia regiments, and the morale of the competition was high.

Every foreigner who came to Peishui for the first time, when he saw such a scene for the first time, he was shocked and thought, only fear.

The Peishui people have unleashed all the belligerent elements in human nature, and it is obvious that these people's desire for war has been suppressed for ten years, and they don't know who will be the first opponent of the unlucky.

"The battle of Wild Horse City is a fart, we have only sent out thousands of soldiers in Peishui, and they are not enough to quench our thirst..."

"I thought that in the vast city, we could have a good fight, but as a result, the empty walkers and they got some battle merits, and our black iron soldiers simply ran for nothing..."

"As for the battle in Wengang, not to mention, in the end, it was Lord Flowing Fire who took action to solve the problem, and our two thousand soldiers fought for one night and it was over, but it was not enjoyable, it was really not enjoyable..."

"I don't know who the next guy who will be sent to the door for us to abuse, who will not open his eyes?

As the lame sixth brother walked, he joked with the soldiers of the militia under him, he had said these nagging words countless times, but these militia soldiers had not heard enough at all, and they had to ask him the same question every time they saw the sixth brother.

"Sixth brother, when will we fight in Peishui? The brothers are still waiting to enter the army to eat the imperial food, you say every day that you want to fight, you want to fight, why are these three battles this year all thunderous and rainy?"

It's no wonder that these young soldiers are anxious, after all, the strict recruitment of soldiers is notoriously strict, and so far the Black Iron Legion of Flowing Fire is only 50,000 people when it is full, but there are more than 300,000 militia soldiers waiting in line outside the Black Iron Legion.

To put it mildly, there is a random soldier in the Black Iron Legion who has typhoid fever, and basically there are hundreds of militia boys who have taken that position, and it is estimated that there are many people who are looking forward to typhoid fever and that kid can't afford to get sick.

How could the lame sixth brother not know what these young men were thinking, and he didn't explain much, it was just to repeat the old clichés of the past.

After comforting and comforting the militia soldiers, the sixth brother stepped onto the earthen fence outside the village. This earthen fence was built five years ago, half a meter thick and four meters high, which firmly protects Yongning Village. On the inside of the earthen enclosure, a platform was erected with a heavy wooden frame, and the soldiers stood guard on this platform on weekdays.

This kind of earthen fence is everywhere in the Peishui village, perhaps stimulated by the night of the Peishui tragedy, the Peishui people went crazy to build all kinds of fortifications, like this kind of earthen fence is the most common equipment, many villages are even equipped with trebuchets and ballistas.

The lame sixth brother will never forget the words of Lord Liuhuo when his new house was built: "Li Feiyang's eight hundred fire cultivators, eight hundred awakened people, did not die in my hands, nor did they die in the hands of the black iron soldiers, but actually died in the hands of thousands of Peishui people..."

"It was the people, the people, the grassroots who defeated them... Since we Peishui people have the courage to challenge the power and have the courage to protect ourselves, then we will turn Peishui into a huge military camp that no one can touch, and let all the enemies who come to attack fall into the vast sea of people's war..."

"From today onwards, Peishui... All are soldiers..."
