Chapter 973: Officers and Soldiers

That's right, although our village is remote, there are a few people who went to the border to join the army before, but each of them has a military salary every month! The military salary is sent home every month, which is enough to feed a large family! ”

"That's right, my cousin is in the next village, he went to join the army, unfortunately died on the battlefield, and the court also gave his family a pension, which alone is enough for their family to eat for several years!" It was said.

In the face of the villagers' verbosity and doubts, the group of soldiers had long been impatient.

The leader of the soldiers shouted a reprimand: "Shut up!" Less nonsense! It's a special time, can it be the same as before? Now the rebels are in turmoil, and there are small forces such as mountain bandits and homeless people everywhere! Now is the time when the imperial court needs people, and it is the unshirkable responsibility and obligation of all of you to join the army and serve the country! No one is qualified to escape! ”

"You live a peaceful and happy life under the protection of the imperial court! Now is the time when the court needs you, and you are still concerned about military salaries! If you don't stand up, when the rebels rule your village, your wives, children, and parents will be enslaved, and you will all be killed by the rebels! Your family's money will be robbed by the rebels, the grain that your family has worked hard to grow will be robbed by the rebels, and the chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep you raise will be robbed by the rebels! ”

"Therefore, you must stand up and join the team to defend your homeland, because only in this way will the army of the imperial court grow, and only when the army of the imperial court grows can you defeat the rebels and return the beautiful and peaceful homeland to you!"

"Now the imperial court is tense, and there is no military salary to pay you at all! Let's see! Again, all men who have reached the age of ten, whether they have a family or not, must join the army! Fight the rebels together! ”

"Violators will be killed!"

As soon as these words came out, the group of villagers became even more restless.

"What? When you turn ten, you're going to join the army! Oh my God! Ten-year-old male dolls are going to die on the battlefield before they grow up? Official, didn't you go when you were fifteen years old when you joined the army before? How has this changed? An old man asked.

"Who said that?" The leader of the soldiers asked aloud, "Stand up for me!" ”

No one in the crowd answered.

The leader of the soldiers said again: "Whoever said it will stand up for me, and if he dares to stand up, he will be exempted from the quota of his family!" ”

As soon as these words came out, an old man in the crowd raised his hand.

"Official, official, it's me, it's me, I said that sentence just now!"

"Very well, then you go to the front!" said the leader of the soldiers.

I saw that the old man quickly squeezed out of the crowd and came to the leader of the soldiers.

The old man grinned at the leader of the soldiers, "Official, I said that just now, you see, my family's quota ......"

Before the old man could finish his words, the leader of the soldiers drew the broadsword he was wearing, and cut the old man's neck at once.

The scene was suddenly bloody.

"Ahh

Where have the villagers seen such a scene, they are all frightened and pale.

There were also many villagers who fainted in fright, and they didn't dare to catch their breath.

This is to set an example for the chickens!

After the leader killed the old man, the crowd no longer dared to raise any doubts.

"I'm an old man, and I'm left with a handful of old bones! Are you going to be arrested for war today? Oh my God, I don't have any force at all! I can only wait to die! Old man Dugu said.
