Forty-four years of commitment, spring.

Liangdong Road, originally two Liao, this place is outside the Guan, but it is a good place with good mountains and rivers, and a horse Pingchuan extends to the northeast.

More than 40 years ago, the old general Wu led a standard of men and horses into the customs to pacify the rebellion of the kings of the Central Plains.

Yanning City, there was no Yan word, but Yan King Wu Jingting set up a mansion here, there must be a Yan word, this city is the first big city in Liangdong Road, is the front line of defense of the Great Qi Empire against the northern Khitan, although there has been no war for many years, but anyone feels that this is a dangerous place for soldiers.

Since it is a dangerous place for soldiers, recruiting soldiers is of course a daily program.

Bai Xiu, nicknamed Boss Bai, I don't know what his father thought back then, he even gave him the name of 'Xiu', maybe he hoped that he could get some literary popularity, but unfortunately, the people who are soldiers want to be soldiers, the name Bai Xiu was rarely mentioned later, and others only called him Boss Bai.

"Boss White! Pulling people again today? ”

"What pull? We're serious calls! ”

"Hahaha...... You're just a bad old man, haha......"

"Roll the ball for Lao Tzu!"

"Hahaha......"

Boss Bai will always be teased twice, and he will always use his Liangxi accent to scold a few words, but there is no way, he recruits soldiers, and he is always dissatisfied, and there are people who don't know, and he thinks that this guy wants to eat empty sounds.

West Street, which is a place specially opened up for the major battalions of the Wu family army to recruit soldiers, was originally a very lively place, because there are many benefits to being a soldier in this dynasty.

If one person in the family becomes a soldier, that is, you can be exempted from the Ding tax of the rest of the family, that is, the poll tax that the common people often say, and you can be exempted from the Ding tax for nine years after three years in the army, which is a good deal.

In addition, you can fight for a background, civil officials have imperial examinations, and military attaches have martial arts, but what can ordinary people do?

Serving in the army, being a soldier for a few years, if you can get the appreciation of the peak and become a military school, then you can retire from the army in the future, you can go to the local government to be a small official or something, what six doors, history, and catching fast, are all a good way out.

This dynasty has such generosity for the army, it is indeed rare, think that in the previous years, when the soldiers were not strong and strong, or to compensate for conscription, it was said that the prosperous Tang Dynasty, then you still need to prepare your own weapons, otherwise you have to pay a lot of money.

The reason why this is so is because of a civil strife in the empire more than 40 years ago, and Liangliao is the place where General Wu raised his troops, so naturally he has given a lot of benefits in terms of joining the army, so that there are soldiers available.

Zhao Qianyuan, who was still the crown prince back then, promised a lot of benefits.

West Street used to be lively, but now in this year, there is a little bit of a change in the past here, and there is no other reason, that is, there are fewer people who want to join the army.

It's too peaceful, the rivers and mountains of Daqi, the south is the world of flowers, although these two Liao say that the mountains and rivers are good, but after all, it is a bitter cold place, and then there is ah, more than 40 years ago, the empire was in civil strife, and many people ran to this side, which is called breaking through the Guandong. Now it's not messy, so don't you want to go back to your hometown and return to your roots?

For more than 40 years, there has been a lot of loss of people, and many Liaodong men have been soldiers and enjoyed the benefits, so there are naturally fewer people in the army.

General Wu has been on the table many times, hoping that the Holy Lord can relocate some people, but for so many years, most of the people he has seen are prisoners or degraded officials.

The effect is minimal.

It is said that King Yan has an army of 80,000 in his hands, but those who know the inside story understand that it is 60,000 when it is full, and it is difficult to recruit troops now, and it is even more difficult for Boss Bai!

What he wants is different from others.

The old location on the street, there is a table here, usually thrown here, let the wind and rain blow, the white boss came, made a piece of cloth up, and used it as his own table, and then erected the guy he carried, a big flag, which read:

Ningbei Dragon Drum Camp.

For Boss Bai, his recruitment business can be regarded as open.

Although there are fewer people who want to join the army now, after all, it is the famous West Street, and there will still be some stunned young people.

No, a dozen young men came to the south.

"The little brother spread his hands out and looked."

"I'm going to join the army, what do you think I'm doing?"

"Look, what are you afraid of?"

"Good!"

Boss Bai saw the opportunity to pull a young man, but he made such a request, and this one had no choice but to do it, just look at his hands, and he was not an ass.

"Oh." Boss Bai swept his eyes and saw that the callus on his right hand was thicker, so he said again: "Little brother, can you let us look at your shoulder?" ”

When the young man heard this, he was not happy at once, "Is there something wrong with you old fellow?" On this cold day, you let me show my shoulders? ”

Now, it is gone.

Boss Bai didn't keep it, but just sighed.

Why?

Boss Bai knew in his heart that the young man was probably a wanderer, and he might have committed some kind of crime, so he thought of Liang Dongdao to come and become a soldier and wash his old bottom clean.

The calloon on his right hand is thick, it must be left by practicing swords, and then look at his shoulder, people don't let him see it, Boss Bai knows very well, if it is a really innocent crop man, there must be traces of carrying a hoe on his shoulder, just think, who can always carry the sword on his shoulder?

Such a person, we Dragon Drum Camp can't want!

Boss Bai is dissatisfied with recruiting troops, it has something to do with this, the rules of the Dragon Drum Battalion were set by General Wu Lao back then, and the kind of crime prisoners who committed the case, our Dragon Drum Battalion must not accept it, and there is no side reason, it is such people, most of them are disobedient.

In this Liaodong, all the people who can go are gone, and most of the ones who come are for some reason, and the foundation is not very clean.

Just when Boss Bai was a little disheartened, he hit another person from the south, this person was dressed in dust, wearing this coarse cloth shirt, covered with a coarse cloth cloak, a felt hat on his head, and a green mule by his side, this mule is so thin!

This person is also interesting, in the middle of West Street, looking around, seems to be a little dazed, and finally seems to have made up some decision, so he exclaimed: "That, I am here to join the army, which of you wants to recruit me?" ”

This sentence is really interesting, it stands to reason that there are few people who are soldiers at the moment, so it should be that many people are fighting for it, but it is cold, and no one comes to pull him.

But why?

When the white boss saw this scene, he walked over and said to the young man, "This little brother, what kind of soldier do you want to be?" ”

The young man smiled and said, "I'm very good at equestrianism, although I've only learned it for two months, my slashing skills are really good, and my grandfather said it was good." ”

When Boss Bai heard this, he smiled and said, "Your grandfather? Ha ha...... Let me tell you, little brother, if you want to join the cavalry of my Wu family's army, you have no chance. ”

"Huh?" The young man was taken aback.

Boss Bai explained: "Look at this mule next to you, what are you starving for?" The cavalry has to take care of the horses themselves, and when you come to the army, who will dare to hand over the horses to you? ”

The young man didn't seem to think of this at all, scratched his head and said, "This mule, that ...... It's already skinny. ”

"Haha......" Boss Bai smiled, "You tell me it's useless, you can ask the recruiters here, there is the Flying Dragon Rider over there, the Tiger and Leopard Rider on the left, and the Ghost Face Rider below, our Wu Family Army has the most types of cavalry, and it is also the most tricky to use, you can try it." ”

"Then I'll give it a try......" the young man thanked and went. 、

But it didn't take long for him to come back and say to Boss Bai: "They, that ......"

"Hahaha......" Boss Bai laughed and said: "I'll tell you the truth, even Wu Jiajun's baggage camel team won't want you, the mule can be cultivated by you like this, how can the camel team pull things?" ”

"That'...... Can you tell me where to go? The young man also sighed, "Actually, my grandfather really often praised me, saying that I was good at equestrianism, and it was good to kill immediately, and my second uncle also said that I should join the Ghost Face Cavalry." ”

Boss Bai believes that his grandfather is a big-headed ghost! Believe that his second uncle is a big-headed ghost!

"I said little brother, if you really want to be a soldier, then come to my brother, come to our Dragon Drum Camp." Boss Bai continued, but still explained the rules, "If you want, stretch out your hand and spread it out to see." ”

The young man didn't think much of it, and immediately stretched out his hands.

There is no cocoon, and Boss Bai is even more sure in his heart, this kid's mouth full of cowhide, what grandfather, what second uncle, it's all nonsense.

"Reading?" Boss Bai wanted to find out the origin of this person.

"No, I used to be a monk." The young man was sincere.

But Boss Bai's eyes changed, "As a monk, why don't you speak honestly?" ”

"Huh? I'm honest, a lot of people say I'm honest. "Young people are weird.

But Boss Bai didn't say much, he knew it in his heart, it was probably because the cowhide blew too much, and then he couldn't be a monk, but however, there were some things to ask, "Is there a traitor?" ”

When this question was asked, the young man was stunned for a long time before he said, "I, I have killed many people before. ”

When Boss Bai heard this, he stared at the young man for a long time, and finally said, "After you enter my Dragon Drum Camp, can you do less bragging?" ”

It's clear, people don't believe it!

And the young man was ignorant, he said in his heart, where do I have to brag? I'm not Huang Tianhua.

But the white boss took out a small notebook, "Name, who else is in the family." ”

The young man replied solemnly and simply: "My name is Wu Bucheng, and I still have a grandfather, a father, a second uncle, and a third uncle at home......"

"Okay, okay, the relationship is all public...... "Boss Bai gave a brief note.

In this way, Boss Bai is worth the trip today.
