About an hour later, a group of homeless people suddenly appeared at the gate of Chuang Long Town.

In today's world, homeless people are not uncommon, but there are not many homeless people in Chuang Long Town.

After all, they became homeless because they didn't have enough to eat, and they were forced to wander and beg for food.

And begging for food everywhere is to survive.

But when he came to Chuang Long Town, he ran counter to his original intention.

Here, maybe you have the opportunity to eat, but you don't have a chance to survive - the war in Longjiang City is now in full swing, and the imperial court continues to increase the investment of soldiers and horses, but as the war progresses, anyone with some brains understands that Longjiang City is now a huge cemetery, and less than one percent of the people who enter it can come out alive, and even if these people are lucky enough to survive one battle after another, but what awaits them in front of them is an endless war.

It was a desperate, infinite abyss.

It is precisely because of this that many people have begun to evade conscription, and the shortage of soldiers in Longjiang City has long been not a matter of one or two days.

In order to complete the conscription requirements delegated by the imperial court, officials at all levels did everything they could, and the displaced people who came to the door, in the eyes of these conscripts, these were not displaced people, but political achievements that allowed them to climb up!

Therefore, when such a large number of homeless people appeared in front of him, Zhu Xingxiu, as a guard, was incomprehensible, and even felt a little incredible.

He even secretly doubted that this group of guys would be a fine work sent by the Northern Wei Dynasty, but such doubts were quickly dispelled.

For he saw this group of homeless people with their heads bowed and shackles on their hands, and beside them there was a swaggering girl with an arrogant expression.

In this posture, Zhu Xingxiu recognized the identity of the other party at a glance - it was a person from the conscription corps.

Because of the difficulty of recruiting soldiers in the past six months, the imperial court has issued a lot of funds for this, but it still has little effect.

In such a situation, the conscription corps came into being.

Strictly speaking, these people are not considered to be the people of the imperial court, but some supernumerary members, and the officials of the imperial court cannot recruit enough soldiers and horses, so they cannot communicate to the imperial court, so some people have started to crooked their brains, and handed over these things to the personnel of the non-imperial court, who will go out of the horse and use some forcible means to plunder the population, and then pull them to Longjiang City.

This kind of thing is not uncommon for Zhu Xingxiu, a few days ago, there was a group of conscripts, and there was a twelve-year-old boy among the strong men who brought it, and this group of people has done everything to make money......

"Recruiters?" Zhu Xingxiu stood up, looked at the girl in the lead and asked, although he had already guessed the identity of the other party, but for the sake of insurance, he still stepped forward and asked routinely.

When the girl heard this, she stretched out her hand and threw out a token with a large "sign" engraved on it.

"I'm a conscription officer under Lord Lu Shuiqing, you can see it." At the same time, the girl's voice also came at this time.

Zhu Xingxiu looked at the token in his hand when he heard this, and nodded immediately, Lu Shuiqing in the girl's mouth is a big man, this conscription is a precedent for him, relying on such means, he has exceeded the conscription requirements delegated by the imperial court for several months, so he has won the favor of the imperial court.

Zhu Xingxiu, such a small guard and bookkeeper, naturally did not dare to offend the other party's people, he put a smile on his face, and complimented: "My lord, I have worked hard all the way, sit down there, let me count the number of people, and I will settle the payment for you later." ”

The girl nodded noncommittally when she heard this, and even sat down on the side, Zhu Xingxiu hurriedly got up and walked to the side of the group of homeless people, counting the number of people, while looking at the physical condition of these guys - because the strong men brought by the conscription corps are paid according to the head, so these crazy guys will often catch some guys with broken arms and legs in order to get together the heads, so that the generals in front are naturally dissatisfied, and they will be angry with the guards who are responsible for collecting people.

Zhu Xingxiu is caught between the two and is angry at both ends, so he can only have a heart, so as not to blame him when he gets it, and it will be difficult for him to do it.

His gaze swept over the group of people, they all looked pretty good, at least much better than those yellow-skinned people sent a few days ago, he secretly felt satisfied, at least this group of people should not be punished from above, but with this thought, his brows suddenly furrowed again, and said, "Why are there still women?" ”

Hearing this, the girl from the conscription on the side stood up and said, "What's wrong with the woman? Two months ago, Lord Lu Qingshui changed the requirements for conscription, as long as it is a woman of the right age, she can also go into battle to kill the enemy and contribute to the country, besides, now is not as cunning as a few months ago, those Diao people are very cunning, one by one received the news of conscription, they are all hidden in the woods and mountains, I brought these, how to say that it is better than those old, weak, sick and disabled, or half-grown children, right? ”

Although Zhu Xingxiu frowned slightly when he heard this, it was really difficult to refute, after all, what was put on the surface when the recruitment was difficult now, and the imperial court did revise the regulations to allow women to join the army, although the general above may still be dissatisfied, but he is a small minion, and there is really no way to refute the other party.

But he still couldn't help muttering: "Even if it's a woman, you have to find something strong, do you think these thin arms and legs can hold knives and guns?" ”

After that, his eyes lit up again, and he looked at a woman standing among the homeless people with her head bowed, and suddenly said, "Look, you have to be like this girl, with a strong physique." ”

As he spoke, he also stepped forward and grabbed the other party's arm, squeezed it hard, and sighed: "How tight this arm is, at first glance, it is a good girl who can give birth......"

He seemed to like this touch very much, and he was not satisfied with touching it with one hand through his shirt, and even wanted to reach into the cuffs to feel it, and his face was even more intoxicated.

The woman's body fluttered, and she jerked her hand back.

Seeing this, the girl from the conscription regiment on the side hurriedly walked up, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she said, "My lord! I still want them to be registered, I still have a lot of things to do! ”

Zhu Xingxiu didn't dare to offend the other party, so he could only laugh dryly and say, "Okay, okay, you take them to the camp, and I will go to the bank to withdraw money." ”

The girl smiled faintly when she got the answer, and then beckoned the homeless people with their heads drooping to enter the town.

And Zhu Xingxiu looked at the backs of those women whose physiques were obviously larger than ordinary women at this time, and muttered in his mouth.

"What a good mother-in-law, this is on the battlefield, it's a pity ......"
