Looking back, I found that it had been more than three months since Chen Yi left.

We're not a strategic town, and we don't have any reports of war coming back in normal times - unless there is a big victory or a big defeat.

Obviously, neither of these things happened during this time, so I didn't hear anything about him, and I didn't even know if he made it to the battlefield alive or not.

The phrase "what is terrible" is sometimes very true, and before June was over, the tense atmosphere enveloped the entire Shuangqi Town.

First of all, the town's conscription notices were posted everywhere in a day, and in several surrounding towns. The old people in the village said that this time was not yet the time for the official conscription of the army, and such a hurry must be due to the tightening of the war on the front line.

Martial Master Chen was very experienced in this matter - the students in his martial arts hall enlisted in the army every year, and there were two of them this time, and one of them was still an apprentice of Martial Master Chen.

"Conscription is difficult to say, easy to say, it depends on who you are conscripted underneath." Today, Martial Master Chen was going to send his apprentice to join the army, so Achu took the opportunity to take me to join in the fun and talk about it, and by the way, I tasted the cold skin in the town that we have both been hungry for a long time.

"Is it so particular about conscription?" I scooped a spoonful of sesame sauce into the bowl.

"Naturally. Slip ...... This time the conscription in our town was an officer under the command of the British Public, and he ...... Those who came after them were all willing. "Martial Master Chen was snorting at the cold skin, and he was very interested in me and Achu Kop.

Since the founding of the Chinese country, although the interior is also stable, the surrounding area has never been really peaceful, so the Chinese soldiers are still valued, and their status is only slightly worse than that of scholars, which is indeed a good way out for most ordinary people.

And every time they are recruited, everyone is most willing to go, the first is the Gu Jiajun led by the British Gong Gu Ye - the Gu Jiajun is famous for its bravery and good fighting, and the military discipline is strict, the military appearance is neat, and the generals are rewarded and punished, so everyone regards joining the Gu Jiajun as a glorious lintel.

"Gu Jiajun's name is indeed known to everyone in China, and Sister Cai also said that Gu Jiajun's soldiers even look more majestic than ordinary soldiers when they walk on the road." Achu said, "But didn't the village chief say that at this time, the conscription plan was to be sent to the battlefield, and they were all willing to take this risk?" ”

Chen Wushi said: "This is also a doorway, think about it, if the war is more urgent, the young man will have to be dragged to the battlefield whether he wants it or not." If you want to go to the battlefield, go to a better army, and the chances of saving your life are also greater, and you may be able to receive meritorious service awards. ”

Besides, when you were not born in the past, Beirong Yidi was eyeing the scene, and we have more personal experience here near the border pass, which we have remembered from generation to generation. Martial Master Chen's voice was a little firm.

Although I haven't really lived in this world for 17 years, I can still empathize with this feeling. No matter what era there is no shortage of benevolent and righteous people who are determined to serve the country, there will never be a shortage of hot-blooded men who defend the country on the battlefield, and even the most ordinary people like us will always have some feelings for the country and national righteousness.

After making a generous remark, Wushi Chen even ate the cold skin with a much stronger momentum, and after "slipping" a bowl of cold skin, he wiped his mouth heroically: "Let's go, go and send you Senior Brother Liang." ”

This was said before, it was still early when we arrived at the recruitment office, but there were already many people in line. The two soldiers in charge of registering and distributing the documents were already sitting upright in front of the stage, looking well-trained.

There are also many people who pass by or come here - there are those who simply watch the excitement, there are those who hesitate to wait and see, there are those who come to see off the conscripted prospective soldiers like us, and there are also some young women or old women, who come to "see" whether there is a man they like or their daughters.

The chief officer in charge of the conscription came very punctually, perhaps because the people who came down from the battlefield had a fierce momentum, and when the officer arrived, the crowd of onlookers instantly became much quieter, and spontaneously gave way to a road.

The officer saluted and silenced the crowd, and then said aloud:

"The folks have the heart to serve the country, and they admire it. Young men between the ages of 15 and 40 are recruited for this conscription, and those with martial arts or special skills are preferred. Those who are sick or disabled will not take it, the only child in the family will not take it, and those whose parents, wives and children are resolutely unwilling to let it go. ”

Those who intend to join the army will be examined by me first, and those who pass will be registered at the sergeant's office on my left, receive the documents, and prepare the things required on the documents before the application tomorrow and report them to the designated place. ”

You must have heard of the recent situation, after the end of this call-up, new soldiers will be sent to the three passes in the north of the town to garrison and fight against the Tartars. The conditions outside the customs are difficult, and the training of Gu Jiajun is extremely strict, and there will be no mercy for deserters, so please think carefully. ”

After the officer finished speaking, he gave another salute and sat down. So everyone signed up according to the queue order, and the progress was very orderly. During this period, from time to time, some people joined the team, and some people silently withdrew and left before they were arranged.

Wushi Chen was very experienced in sending people into the army, and after instructing Ah Chu and I to stay where we were and not to move, we went to the market to help my apprentices buy saddle bridles and other things. Those of us who don't participate are waiting for Master Chen Wu's apprentices to sign up, and Fang Zhi and others queuing up is a more difficult thing than queuing.

Extremely bored, I quietly pulled Achu's sleeve: "Achu, that ...... Senior Brother Liang, right, how long will it take to get him? ”

Achu replied in a low voice: "I haven't actually seen him before, and now I can't shout to make him agree, I originally thought that I hadn't seen the conscription to see the excitement, but I didn't expect it to be crowded and boring." However, Gu Jiajun is indeed very capable, there are so many people, there is no confusion in the three of them. ”

I said, "yes." Especially the chief officer, the question was to the point, the answer was concise and concise, and he was really shrewd and capable. ”

was chatting casually, a sharp female voice behind him suddenly sounded: "Oh, Shen Bingran, are you so interested in that military master?" ”

The "military masters" at the scene were only three sergeants of the Gu family army who were in charge of recruitment, and it was absolutely ill-intentioned to call me by name and surname on this occasion. Everyone didn't dare to communicate loudly about the conscription, and even the three busy soldiers were stunned for a moment.

This voice is no stranger to me.
