In the barracks training ground in Luoding City, ordinary people usually walk around this place, because if they are unlucky, they are not pleasing to the eye by any officer in the barracks, and the reward is light.

And today, this place where the people stayed away ushered in the largest passenger flow in its history, and the people of Jeolla Dingcheng were driven here by Yang An's people, and the training ground was crowded.

"Old Zhu's family, you are here too!"

"Second Ke, your family is also here."

"Why are you saying that these vicious people are driving us all here!"

"Did you hear it yesterday, that thunder, I heard that it was Lei Gong who was angry and chopped those Qing court soldiers to death."

The sounds of each other mingled together, and the whole training ground seemed noisy.

Standing on the platform built in the middle of the training ground, Zhu Deqi looked at the black head below, swallowed a small mouthful of saliva, and said to Yang An with palpitations: "Nephew Yang Xian, are you sure it's okay to gather the people together?" If they had a small riot, even one person would have drowned us with a spit. ”

Zhu Yusheng, Wang Wu, Zhao Si and others also nervously put their hands on the scabbard, ready to protect Yang An and the others if they saw that something was wrong.

Yang An made a reassuring look to Zhu Defei and the others, took a deep breath and looked at the commotion below, especially seeing the dazed, scared, and numb looks on their faces, a trace of fluctuation arose in his calm heart, his eyes looked firmly ahead, and his body knelt straight on the ground.

Zhu Yusheng behind him saw Yang An kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly wanted to go up and pull Yang An up, but was grabbed by Zhu Defei beside him, who shook his head at her slightly, Zhu Yushang could only bite his lip lightly, and looked at the young man in front of him complicatedly.

The people at the front looked at Yang An, who was kneeling on the ground, their faces were stunned, and they looked at each other in shock, wondering why this young man who seemed to be a senior official of the Ming army knelt down to them, and they looked at each other speechlessly.

The people who couldn't see clearly in the back saw that the people in front of them were silent, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, and the people who knew the reason were also speechless, and the noisy scene was strangely quiet, and everyone's eyes were staring at the tall figure on the high platform.

"I'm sorry for everyone, I'm sorry for everyone, I'm sorry for everyone."

Yang An's magnetic voice resounded over the empty training ground, filling the eyes of the people below with doubt.

"Bring Wu Qiang up."

Wu Qiang, who was tied into a zongzi, was escorted by Wang Wu to the high platform, Yang An pointed to Wu Qiang, whose face was like ashes, and shouted: "It is my Ming Ming's fault that I left my Ziming here and let them suffer the ravages of the Tartars; Now my Ming army has come back, but there are always some scum who destroy my Ming image, this person. ”

Yang An pointed at Wu Qiang and shouted excitedly: "He, Wu Qiang, a garrison officer of my Ming Dynasty, but he actually destroyed the innocence of a woman from a good family after the siege of the city, the Son of Heaven committed the same crime as the common people, today, I will hand this person over to the people for trial." ”

The audience was silent, I don't know if I was shocked by Yang An's words, and after half a salary, I don't know who shouted, "Kill him!" In an instant, it ignited all the people like a spark, and the angry screams made Zhu Defei, who was standing behind, a little pale.

If this is not well controlled, and the people rush to the stage, I am afraid that they and others will be torn to pieces by Baixin, who has lost his mind!

"Good!"

Yang An, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up, pulled out the matching knife in Wang Wu's waist on the side, and roared solemnly: "Today, I will be sentenced by the Ming guerrilla Yang An, Wu Qiang, who committed the crime of strengthening women, violated military discipline, and was decided!" ”

With the knife in his hand, a round head rolled to the ground, and the headless neck sprayed bright red blood, and the people splashed with blood below did not feel afraid, but looked excited.

Grabbing Wu Qiang's head with one hand, Wu Qiang didn't expect him to die here, he didn't enjoy the silver he had robbed, he died because of his lust, it was really a knife on his head!

The people below watched Yang An's movements, and the voices of talking to each other gradually became quieter, and they all looked at Yang An with admiration.

"Now the Ming Dynasty is suffering from the invasion of the Tartars, and it is precisely because of these Tartars that our originally stable life is gone, and countless people have died because of this, so I am here, I am here to save everyone from hell and be a real Han again."

Yang An paused for a moment, and looked down with his eyes genuinely.

"All the people who died because of this must make their sacrifice meaningful, and let them die well, so we must pick up the sword, form an army to defend our homeland, and drive out the invaders, did I, Yang An, believe you wrong?"

"No!"

"No!"

"No, we'll get revenge!"

"Lord Yang An, lead us to attack, my lord!"

Yang An heard the chanting below, raised the head and sword in his hand, and shouted loudly.

"For the sake of Daming, for ourselves."

"For the sake of Daming, for ourselves."

The people below followed Yang An's desperate roar: "For Daming, for ourselves!" ”

Zhu Defei looked at the surging crowd below, and the figure in front of him, although not majestic, flashed a trace of surprise in his eyes, a hero is a teenager!

The people below roared in unison, Zhu Defei sighed, the people's hearts are available!

Yang An stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then shouted loudly: "I decided to start recruiting troops now, and give everyone a settling-in allowance of three taels when they come in, now please go to the gate of the yamen to register in the afternoon, now you will disperse first." ”

Looking at the departing people, Yang An breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that his dangerous move was a complete success, and now he only needs to arrange the recruitment in the afternoon.

In fact, Yang Anxin was also related to him just now, after all, a bad one just now would cause a riot among the people.

。。。。。。

The situation of recruiting troops in the afternoon is really very hot, and there are constantly young and strong good people who come to join the army, if it is not for Yang An's military salary, and keep improving, I am afraid that more than this person will be recruited, until the final count, Yang An and others found that more than 900 young people have been recruited.

Although so many soldiers were recruited, Zhu Defei's face did not show a happy smile, but was worried.

"Why is Uncle Zhu worried?"

Seeing Yang An asking himself, Zhu Defei said worriedly: "Virtuous nephew, although we have recruited so many people, but after all, these are strong men who have just joined, I am afraid that if we fight, even our hundred bandits will not be able to defeat us, and we can't defend this place for more, otherwise the Tartar army will press in, I'm afraid that our little people will not even be enough to stuff the teeth between others!" ”

"When the time comes, I'm afraid that most of these newly recruited people won't leave, after all, it's hard to leave their homeland, and it's probably difficult for them to willingly abandon their families and children to follow us!"

"Who said that they must follow us willingly, and I didn't say that I want them to abandon their families."

Yang An's words made Zhu Defei stunned for a while, and his face was puzzled.

"I want to take not only the families of these soldiers, but also all the residents of Luoding City."

Zhu Defei only reacted after hearing the second half of the sound, and shouted in a lost voice: "Virtuous nephew, you are doing something like a rogue person." ”

Yang An's approach is actually to coerce the people to strengthen the momentum, this method is not unusual, most of the peasant uprisings in the past dynasties followed this method, not to mention far away, close to Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other thieves at the beginning of the incident have the bad deeds of coercing the people, through coercing a large number of people to join the army, it is indeed for them to defeat countless Ming troops who came to encircle and suppress, until they shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, so it cannot be said that this method is completely useless.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Yang An's eyes, and he said coldly: "Only in this way can we quickly increase our momentum, when the time comes, as long as we walk in the city, a large number of Manchu soldiers will come to attack the city, and it is the kind of team that will slaughter the city whenever the city is captured, plus we are slightly coerced and coerced in the back, and the people in the city will have to go if they don't want to go with us." ”

"Uncle Zhu's concerns I also understand, there is no truth in this world without roots, so coercing the people is just an expedient measure, and when the strength is greater in the future, we will naturally open a government to set up a government, govern the place, and collect money and grain, so that is the long-term way."

Zhu Defei knew that this was the best way at the moment, but he still didn't agree with it, because there was a more important reason that they didn't have so much food.

The consumption of tens of thousands of people is so much, according to the food they seized after entering the city and the food in their hands, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it for half a month, and then I am afraid that no matter how much they are coerced, they will not be able to prevent the people from escaping.

Hearing Zhu Defei worrying about food, a hint of coldness flashed in Yang An's eyes, and his voice revealed a hint of fierceness: "Then it depends on how much the gentry in the city can support, as long as it can last for two months, I have a solution." ”

Although I don't know what kind of solution Yang An can have to solve the problem of food, since Yang An can make such strange things as explosives packets, he must not let himself and others down this time, and Zhu Defei has no way out, he can only believe that Yang An can turn decay into magic, and he can only succeed.

Zhu Defei stared at Yang An for a while, Fang sighed and said: "If you really want to do this, I can't persuade you, you should understand the pros and cons better than me, I hope you won't go astray in the future." ”

"Let me do the matter of borrowing food from the squires, after all, as a member of the Daming clan, I can still convince them a little, and it is easier to deal with them, virtuous nephew, you have been busy for a day, just rest early, don't get tired."

After speaking, Yang An was not allowed to refuse, so he called a servant from the original yamen, ordered him to prepare some hot water for Yang An to clean, and asked someone to prepare some food for Yang An.
