Qi Qige was triumphant, and said to Huo Qingzhou: "Look, Ah Ping also said no." ”

Huo Qingzhou laughed and said, "Okay, you go and clean up, and my brother will take you to visit the overpass." ”

Qiqige was surprised and delighted, dangling two pigtails, and ran out with a jump, Ah Ping walked behind her, hugged Huo Qingzhou and Huo Roufeng, and also walked out.

When the master and servant walked away, Huo Roufeng said to Huo Qingzhou: "Is this good?" ”

"I took people away and it didn't affect Zhan Wu, shouldn't you be happy?" Huo Qingzhou said angrily.

But after speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he took a piece of persimmon and sent it to Huo Roufeng: "You also saw it, don't say that I am not good to that kid anymore." ”

Huo Roufeng laughed, took the persimmon, and said, "When it comes to being smart and witty, my brother is this." ”

As she spoke, she cocked her thumb at Huo Qingzhou.

Indeed, the moment Huo Roufeng saw Ah San, his heart moved. Ahsan is Gahai's sister-in-law.

Now that the Tartar group has no leader, and more than a dozen tribes have fought one after another, although the current target of Jiahai is not the Central Plains, but he has dominated the steppe like Dorhana, and his appetite is not only Tartar.

Huo Roufeng was still thinking about how to prevent Ah Sang from peeking into the northwest military defense, so Huo Qingzhou started from his style.

"When did you talk about flyovers?" Huo Roufeng asked.

"On the way from Yulin to the racecourse, I talked to her all the way." Huo Qingzhou said with a smile.

Although Yan Niang is a Han Chinese, she mostly lived outside the customs when she was young, and she may not have been to the overpass, so she is unlikely to tell interesting stories about the overpass to her Qige, so when she heard Qiqige mention the overpass today, Huo Roufeng knew who said it.

Huo Qingzhou is an authentic prince of the capital.

Go to the capital with his character, with Huo Qingzhou's ability, he can protect his character and thoughtfulness, as for Ah Sang and the quiet Ah Ping, let them go.

Huo Qingzhou left Shaanxi with his entourage, and there was news that Zhanhuai helped Huo Roufeng recruit private soldiers.

It is not an easy task to recruit troops, especially in the identity of Huo Roufeng, but Zhanhuai set the location of recruitment in the area of Qinling and Daba Mountain.

In the Qinba Mountains, there are some areas where even the local parents and officials have not been there, but the people sent by Zhanhuai to recruit soldiers trekked through mountains and rivers, crossed mountains and mountains, and posted notices in these villages: young and strong men over 15 years old and under 30 years old will be given 10 taels of silver for a soldier, and 5 taels of silver will be given for a boy over 12 years old and under 15 years old.

And Zhanhuai still has two tricks, one is the only son who has no queen; The second is the lack of recruitment.

Whether it is an only son without a descendant or a wealthy person, he has the responsibility of establishing a household, supporting his parents, and passing on the lineage, and such a person is not suitable for being a soldier.

It didn't take long for the name of benevolence and righteousness to spread widely in the local area, and the number of people who came to apply for the recruitment did not decrease because of these two non-recruits, but more and more.

Ten taels of silver can buy ten acres of land in the local area, which is enough for the poor to eat and drink.

The military households of the imperial court are hereditary military positions, and men over the age of fifteen can take up their posts, and they can not retire until they are sixty years old, so that the children of the clan can continue to take up their posts.

As early as many years ago, the Duke of Min began to recruit soldiers on his own in Fujian, these people are not in the register of the Ministry of War, they are all selected from the people, this is the origin of the 50,000 horses, in addition to the 50,000 army, the Zhan family also has its own private soldiers in Fujian.

At present, Zhanhuai is following the practice of Min Guogong, the recruitment is very smooth, the recruitment place he chooses is in the local quite poor place, to be a soldier can leave ten taels of silver for his family, and there will be nine dollars of silver every month in the future, which is a lot of income for poor people.

Of course, in this way, the silver was spent like flowing water, and in less than two months, three thousand people were recruited in three places in the Qinba Mountains alone.

After Mrs. Zhong heard about it, when she was out hunting, she asked Huo Roufeng: "Xiao Jiu, you tell the truth to your aunt, are you raising private soldiers just for self-preservation, or do you have other purposes?" ”

Huo Roufeng smiled: "Who didn't it all start out to protect themselves?" ”

Mrs. Zhong was stunned, yes, she had heard Min Guogong say that when the Xie family raised troops from Shaanxi in the past, it was originally for self-protection, both father and brother died, and the sea of blood was deep, and the Xie daughter led the remnants of the soldiers left by her father and brother to rise up, if I don't fight, you will kill me, in that case, why not fight?

Mrs. Zhong didn't ask any more questions, and Mrs. Zhong remained silent until Huo Roufeng proposed to personally go to the Qinba Mountains to recruit female soldiers.

Mama Ruoshui asked her quietly: "Old lady, the fifth master and the ninth lady are both young and vigorous, do you want to give a few words of advice?" ”

Mrs. Zhong glanced at her and said quietly: "They haven't done anything out of the ordinary, what can I advise?" ”

Mama Ruoshui stopped asking.

In July, Huo Roufeng arrived in the Qinba Mountains.

Zhanhuai didn't accompany her, and transferred Hua Siniang from Xi'an to follow her.

Because Zhanhuai's people have just recruited soldiers here, and now I heard that another woman is also going to be recruited, and it is a female soldier!

For many people in the mountains, their ancestors have never walked out of this mountain, and they don't know who the current emperor is, what the year name is, and they don't know who they want to fight when they go to be soldiers, they don't know, and they don't care, what they care about is to eat a full stomach, marry a wife and have a baby.

However, the conscription of female soldiers is too rare, and I only know that I can give money to be a soldier, but I don't know that women can also be soldiers.

Women have gone to serve in the army, won't men be even more unable to marry wives, so who will give birth to a baby?

So the matter of recruiting female soldiers was full of resistance from the beginning, and Huo Roufeng was also at a loss when he heard that the people who went to recruit below came back to complain.

Huo Roufeng lives in the town and borrows the houses of local wealthy families.

On this day, she came out of her residence and was about to walk around the town and listen to what the people were saying.

The town is very poor, and the rich family she borrowed from is actually only a few hundred acres of fertile land and a few forests, so what she lives in the town is only a three-entry house.

But such a family is already a big family in the local area, and the people who come and go in this house can always attract attention.

As soon as Huo Roufeng and Hua Siniang came out of the house with a few words of guards, they attracted many people on the street.

Since arriving in Shaanxi, Huo Roufeng has never worn a power fence, she walked in front of people generously without the slightest shyness.

Suddenly, I saw a person rushing over from across the street, rushing towards Huo Roufeng, Hua Siniang's eyes were quick, and she pulled Huo Roufeng behind her!
