Wang Er and Wang Zuojiao have been pacified, the southern part of northern Shaanxi has settled down, Shangluo soldiers are ready to lead Liu Yingyu to lead his subordinates to leave northern Shaanxi and return to Guanzhong to repair.

Lu Xiangsheng's Praetorian Guard stayed in Yijun County for two more days, and saw that the homeless people who returned to their hometowns did not make any more trouble, leaving hundreds of troops to guard the county seat, so they left Yijun County with the army and marched north along the official road.

Li Hongji's uncle and nephew also went north with the army, and along the way, they saw that the Praetorian Guard kept dividing their troops, leaving hundreds of thousands of people behind every county they passed. When Li Hongji asked the captain of the Jinyi Guard, who had already become acquainted, he was told that these troops would lead the people in the counties to fight against the inferior gentry and divide the land.

"Your Majesty was furious by the civil unrest in northern Shaanxi, and it was found out that the reasons behind it were all caused by the oppression of the people by the squires and evil officials, and His Majesty was determined to punish the evil officials and bad gentry in northern Shaanxi, and also gave the people of northern Shaanxi a bright future." So said the lieutenant.

"Your Majesty is really a saint!" Even Li Jin couldn't help but praise.

"That's nature!" The lieutenant smiled, "The whole world has been ruined by those corrupt officials and gentry, they have deceived Your Majesty, and the people in the countryside are preyed on, only by defeating them, the common people can live a good life." ”

"Uncle, I look at this emperor very well, the people can live a good life sooner or later, what kind of rebellion are we going to make." Li Jin whispered to Li Hongji.

Li Hongji was silent for a moment and nodded, having lost the pride he had at the beginning. The emperor himself was in charge, and there were tens of thousands of elite Praetorian Guards to deter him, coupled with the continuous transportation of disaster relief food to northern Shaanxi, and the Praetorian Guards led the displaced people to fight the inferior gentry and divide the fields, and there was no soil for rebellion in northern Shaanxi. Although there is still some chaos in other places, I am afraid that it will not take much time to calm down, and what is the future of another rebellion?

"I don't have any intention of being the king and hegemon, I just feel that the world is going to be chaotic, rather than living in a nest, it is better to do it vigorously, just like the heroes of Chen Sheng Wu Guangliang Mountain, eating meat in large pieces, drinking wine in large bowls, killing all corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and robbing their wives and daughters as mothers-in-law and aunts, such days are interesting." Li Hongji sighed lightly.

Li Jin shook his head: "Uncle, it doesn't make much sense to kill people in my opinion, they are all raised by their mothers and fathers, everyone has wives and children, if we continue to fight like this, the world still doesn't know how many people have died, since the emperor has given us a way to live, uncle, you have become a hundred households, let's live a good life, maybe you can become a general in the future." ”

Li Hongji's eyes were shining again, and he slapped Li Jin heavily: "Okay, let's do a good job, when I become a general, Jin'er, you will be my deputy general!" ”

When the army arrived at Yan'an Mansion to treat the skin, it did not continue to move forward, because Emperor Zhu Youzhen had already arrived here from Qingjian County half a month ago.

The army was stationed in the south of the city, and only about 5,000 of the 10,000-strong army remained. Even if there is no combat mission, military discipline is still very strict, and training is necessary for a morning every day, and even Li Hongji and others have to train with it. In the afternoon, it is allowed to go out of the camp, but you need to make a report, and at least five people are together at a time.

That afternoon, Li Hongji's uncle and nephew and three other Praetorian Guard soldiers left the camp together, walked around the market in the city of Fushi, and when they returned to the camp, Li Hongji suddenly saw an acquaintance.

"Brother Zongdi, why are you here?" Li Hongji said happily.

This person's name is Yuan Zongdi, a native of Suide, wearing a rookie costume, burly and handsome, but Li Hongji sent a letter to Suide when he was a post boy and got acquainted.

"Brother Hongji." Yuan Zongdi was also very happy, "You are also a Praetorian Guard!" I was also selected to be a Praetorian Guard, and I'm training in the boot camp. ”

The two chatted happily, according to Yuan Zongdi, Suidezhou also fought against the gentry and evil officials, the Praetorian Guard distributed the fields of the squires and evil officials to the poor, each village elected a village head, more than a dozen villages were organized into a township, and the members sent by the Praetorian Guard were the township leaders.

"My township is good, fair, anyone in trouble will help, this winter will lead the big guy to repair the canal, said to repair the canal to every village, and wait until next year to no longer have to worry about the crops drought."

Originally, the poor buddies in the village elected me to be the village head, but when I heard that His Majesty was going to recruit Praetorian Guard soldiers, I had the strength to know some martial arts, so I took the lead in signing up. We're not for the military salary of two taels of silver a month, but now the villagers are proud to be the Praetorian Guard, and I heard that in the future, the village chief and the township will be selected from the retired soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, so we can't be the village chief for a few years, and then be driven down. Yuan Zongdi said with a smile.

"The folks are doing well now, aren't they?" Li Hongji asked with a smile.

Yuan Zongdi smiled and nodded: "Of course, the squire's fields are divided, everyone has their own fields, and they don't have to pay taxes for three years, Your Majesty has transferred a large amount of grain from Luoyang Guanzhong, don't worry about starving to death this winter, the big guys are secretly happy." ”

Li Hongji exhaled softly, and there was no trace of delusion in his heart.

"Huh? How can there still be child soldiers? Li Jin suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Li Hongji turned his head to look at it, and saw five or six children in their eighties and nineties not far away, all wearing military uniforms, walking in a neat queue from the market.

"They're martial arts boys." Yuan Zongdi glanced at it and said casually. He's been training at Skincare for a few days and knows a lot about what it's like here.

"Your Majesty has set up a martial arts school in this Fushi City, recruiting students from the entire Yan'an Mansion, from eight to twenty years old, healthy men can sign up regardless of their background, and they are selected as martial arts students, without any tuition fees, and a monthly allowance of two cents of silver, young people from all over the country are crazy to sign up, these are the first batch to be selected. If I wasn't over 20 years old and couldn't recognize a few words, I would have wanted to sign up. Yuan Zongdi said regretfully.

"What does this martial arts teach? Swords, guns, bows and arrows? Li Hongji said curiously.

Yuan Zongdi shook his head: "I don't know, but as long as I am selected, I will definitely be able to become an official after graduation." ”

"Hey, kid, I'll ask you." Yuan Zongdi shouted to a few boy scouts who came over.

Several boy scouts stopped and looked up at Yuan Zongdi and the others.

"Kid, what are you learning in martial arts?" Yuan Zongdi asked with a smile.

"Now it's the cohort training, and I've heard that in a few days we will start classes, learn literacy, learn arithmetic, and learn the law." The child at the head was in his teens, and he looked like a tiger, and replied seriously.

"It's not easy to learn so much." Yuan Zongdi smiled, "By the way, what's your name, kid?" ”

"My name is Li Dingguo!" The child replied crisply, gave a military salute to Yuan Zongdi and the others, and led the team forward.
