Mu Feng and they traveled for a few days to Fuzhou County, which was the location of their conscription. And Guan Shan himself has been waiting at the gate of the county government for a long time.

The conscription lasted for a month, and they borrowed another side hall from the Fuzhou County Ya. When the county magistrate knew the identities of these people, he was surprised and delighted, and naturally welcomed them.

Fuzhou County is one of the thirteen counties of Yan State, and when the current county commander took office, Fuzhou City was equivalent to an empty city, and the people were hungry. However, the county magistrate is a good official, and after taking office for a few years, he has turned Fuzhou County from the poorest county into a Fuzhou where the people live and work in peace and contentment.

This is also why Yan Wuge decided to choose Fuzhou as the location for conscription, the materials are sufficient, the county order is a good official, he will definitely support it, and the conscription will be relatively smooth.

"This is the Four Princes." Yun'er said to Guan Shan and the others.

"See the Four Princes."

Fuzhou County ordered Yang Yonggang and others to bow down in a hurry, this is the prince, he has not seen the prince and princess in the palace. If he can see His Highness once, he will have no regrets in this life.

"Get up."

"Yes."

Yun'er looked at Yang Yonggang's appearance with his head down, and said with a smile, "You are Yang Yonggang, the commander of Fuzhou County?" ”

"Humble is." Yang Yonggang said respectfully. When this little girl heard that she was a person close to His Highness, he naturally didn't dare to be contemptuous.

"Your Highness said that you are a good official who is engaged in politics and serves the people." Yun'er said.

"Really?" Yang Yonggang raised his head excitedly, he didn't expect His Highness to know about him, "Your Highness really said that?" ”

"yes." Yun'er wasn't lying.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your love." Yang Yonggang knelt down and made a big salute. received praise from Yan Wuge, this is a thing worth bragging about for a lifetime. It is not in vain that he has been conscientious and conscientious all these years, serving the country and the people. Yan Wuge made him feel that it was worth it for him to do so much.

"Alright, alright." Yun'er smiled, "You get up." ”

"This is Brother Mu Feng. The Mu family in Beijing. Like me, I am also a person close to His Highness. ”

"Hello Mu Gongzi."

"I've seen two generals below." Mu Feng forcibly saluted Guan Shan and Li Feng, first, they were older, and secondly, they were born and died in Yangcheng and His Highness, and he Mu Feng would take it to heart to those who were good to Yan Wuge.

"Just call me Mu Feng."

Before Yan Wuge went to the battlefield, it was the Mu family who went out to fight. The Mu family is a generational martial artist, and the children and grandchildren of the Mu family, both men and women, are brave and good at fighting. And the descendants of the Mu family also died because of guarding the Yan Kingdom. It wasn't until Yan Wuge could take charge on the battlefield that the Mu family retreated from the battlefield.

"Your Highness said that Brother Mu Feng is solely responsible for this conscription." Yun'er said.

"Yes." Guan Shan and Li Fengqiang glanced at each other and replied.

Yan Wuge said this, which shows that this conscription is said by Mu Feng. It also made them understand that this person was Yan Wuge's confidant and won Yan Wuge's trust.

I heard that the people who grew up next to Yan Wuge were carefully selected by the emperor for Yan Wuge. This is Yan Wu Ge's power, and it also shows that at any time, these people can give up their lives for Yan Wu Ge, even their families.

The people who can follow Yan Wuge are not ordinary people, even if they are Yun'er and Little Orange, they talk all day long, but their families are all first-class.

Although Yan Zhanglin's status is relatively noble, this is on the battlefield, and he knows nothing about marching and fighting. And his flowery fist embroidered legs were simply a joke in front of Mu Feng and Yan Wuge.

He also wanted to go to the battlefield before, but Yan Wuge never gave him a chance, and this time he didn't know why she would let her father send her. Although her decision is given to Mu Feng, she has never been out of the capital, and she still yearns for the people. In this conscription, he also wanted to experience life in the barracks.

But Mu Feng didn't think so, he also asked Yan Wuge why he sent Yan Zhanglin to follow, he was already very annoyed with one Yun'er, and there was also Yan Zhanglin. Mu Feng has followed Yan Wuge all these years, he is the older among several people, and he is naturally calmer. He only has Yan Wuge in his heart, and he doesn't care about other princes and princesses at all.

So although he didn't treat Yan Zhanglin like Yun'er, he didn't treat him much better. Before Mu Feng came, Yan Wuge also specially explained and asked Yan Zhanglin to study hard.

"General Guan, have the conditions for this conscription been announced?"

"It has been posted in thirteen counties, and the conditions for this registration are listed in detail in accordance with the emperor's will." General Guan Shan replied.

"Hmm." Mu Feng said, "In this conscription, every soldier who comes to register must be recorded one by one on paper, and a copy will be left for them at the same time, and the handprint will be stamped at that time." ”

"What chapter?" Li Fengqiang asked.

"Whoa." Mu Feng took out the chapter, and wrote the words "Yan, Bing" at the bottom of the chapter. "Your Highness means that whoever has this paper every year to show that someone in his family is a soldier will receive ten taels of silver, and if a soldier is killed, his family may take this stamped paper and receive thirty taels of silver."

If you do that, it's a good thing for the soldiers. Some of them serve the country to serve the country, some to support their families with money, and some to feel that they have at least something to eat when they become soldiers. And the salary of ordinary soldiers is very low, usually five taels of silver a year. After he died, no one counted him, and his family could not be favored.

After the emperor did this, the soldiers reduced their worries, increased their enthusiasm, and at the same time allowed their families to rely on for the elderly. It should be a blessing in the army that Yan Wens can make this suggestion for the benefit of the soldiers.

"Then who is responsible for this stamp?" Li Fengqiang asked.

"This will be handed over to the four princes."

"Me?" Yan Zhanglin asked incredulously. There are so many people, why do you let him do this coolie?

"Hmm." Mu Feng saw that he wanted to refuse, so he added leisurely, "This is what His Highness explained." ”

Yan Wuge's words were equivalent to a holy decree, and Yan Zhanglin swallowed the words that he refused in his mouth. thought in my heart, I didn't seem to have offended the third sister......

"Mu Gongzi." Yang Yonggang asked, he didn't dare to call him by name, "If you need help from the lowly position, just say that the lowly job will do your best." ”

"Hmm." Mu Feng nodded, this county order is still good. Suddenly remembered that His Royal Highness had come down, and I didn't know how they were in Luzhou County.

"Then what am I doing?" Yun'er asked, did she have nothing to do, just play.

"You, whatever you want." Mu Feng looked at the happy Yun'er, it was best for her to stay away from him, shouting behind him every day, Brother Mu Feng, Brother Mu Feng, I was annoyed to death.

Yun'er and Xiao Chengzi are still young, although they have more experience than their peers, but their temperament is exactly the same as their peers. Greedy to play all day long, and like to ask this and that, usually Mu Feng is far away from the two of them.

The next day, when Mu Feng got up, it was already dawning for a long time, and when he walked out of the room and came to the yamen, he found that there were already many people queuing.

Guan Shan and Li Fengqiang were divided into two groups, screened qualified people, and the two masters helped to register, and remembered to stamp Yan Zhanglin.

Mu Feng walked up to them, looked at them in good order, and nodded with satisfaction. And Yan Zhanglin looked at Mu Feng who was refreshed with a sad expression, why did he get up at dawn and sit here, and he slept until now.

But he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, not to mention that the third sister was not easy to provoke, and he didn't dare to provoke the people around her.

"Wait a minute." Mu Feng looked next to Li Fengqiang for a while, and then stopped a person who wanted to press his handprint.

"What's wrong?" Li Fengqiang asked.

"General Li, this person is not qualified."

"I'm not up to the mark." The man who came to sign up replied, "I'm eighteen." And the height is also reached. Even if I'm a little thinner, it doesn't matter. ”

"But you're sick." Mu Feng stared at the silk scarf he held in his hand.

"Can't I sign up if I'm sick? I originally came to join the army to sign up and get the money to go to the hospital, but your notice didn't say that I couldn't sign up if I was sick. He clutched the silk scarf in his hand tightly, and coughed from time to time in his mouth.

"We didn't say on the notice that sick people can't sign up, but we said on the notice that people who are strong and fit are needed." Mu Feng drifted and came to him, grabbed his hand, and took out his silk scarf, which had blood on it.

"It's all coughing up blood,"

"yes,"

"That's how you sign up."

There was a lot of talk around the people. The man was sweating profusely and looked at the people around him in fear.

"You go back." Mu Feng said to him.

"Please, let me sign up." He knelt down and begged, "My family is poor and has no money to cure the sick, so I can only come to join the army, hoping to get the money so that I can cure the sick in the future." ”

"Please, let me sign up."

Mu Feng didn't speak, he was unmoved. Yan Zhanglin looked quite pitiful, he didn't expect this silver to be so important to a person. I suddenly felt that I had been extravagant before, and I felt a little ashamed in my heart.

"Mu Feng, otherwise, let's let him sign up." Yan Zhanglin said.

"Nope." Mu Feng said.

"Why are you so cold-blooded, I am the prince of Yan Kingdom, I said that he can sign up if he can." Yan Zhanglin stood up and fought against Mu Feng.

"Fourth prince, don't forget, only I have the right to decide here."

"So what, you are so unsympathetic, when the time comes, I will tell the third sister and let her punish you." He can't cure him, can't the third sister cure him? And he's happy to help people this time.

"Do you think Your Highness is as stupid as you?" Mu Feng sneered.

"You!"

Mu Feng came to Yan Zhanglin and asked him step by step.

"Fourth Prince, have you ever fought? Have you ever killed someone? Have you ever touched the body of a dead man? Have you ever seen the corpses that littered the mountains, the countless human heads, the blood that stained the red rivers after the war? ”

Mu Feng pointed at Guan Shan and them.

"Compassion? You ask a few generals, and you ask the soldiers who have been on the battlefield. You ask them, on the battlefield, will the enemy show mercy to your men because of your sympathy? Will the enemy let you go because you're sick? ”

Mu Feng swept away, Guan Shan and they all lowered their heads, they had already seen the cruelty of war.

"No, it won't. On the battlefield, either you die or I die. You're actually here to talk to me about compassion? I tell you, on the battlefield, there is no compassion! ”

"You tell me, how can a man like him fight on the battlefield? With him like this, he may not be able to survive the training period, and if you let him go to the battlefield, he will be sent to death! ”

Yan Zhanglin stopped speaking in shock, he sat down and looked at Guan Shan and Li Fengqiang, who bowed their heads and were silent.

Mu Feng's words are right.

After hearing what Mu Feng said, the man stopped talking, stood up, and walked out of the door in disappointment.

"Go ahead." Mu Feng said, "You have to take a good look at it, every stamped piece of paper is a human life." Don't be child's play. ”

"Yes." The crowd replied.

Yan Zhanglin sat there in a daze, his heart was dense, looking at the back of the person walking back in disappointment, which deeply stimulated his heart. If he goes to the battlefield, he will die, and if he does not go to the battlefield, he will still die if he has no money to heal his illness.

When is it, there is no way to choose even to live. Yan Zhanglin suddenly felt that his eyes were a little moist, and he was like a piece of wood, stamping them one by one.

"The Four Princes." Mu Feng looked at Yan Zhanglin.

"What were you doing when Your Highness was born and died on the battlefield? You always thought that it would be easy to fight, and when you go to the battlefield yourself, you will know what it is like. ”

"Every stamp you stamp is a human life, and these people are now passing through your hands. Why do you think Your Highness let you come here? After Mu Feng finished speaking, he left Yan Zhanglin with a pensive face and left.

Yan Wuge wanted Yan Zhanglin to know that it is not easy for a person to live, and death is just an instant. Especially those who are on the battlefield, they have to face the choice of life and death every day, on the battlefield, if they win, they live, and if they fail, they die. Those who die in battle, the better ones will be buried by the living soldiers, and the worse ones will be the dead and exposed to the wilderness.

War is a life-and-death affair, where is the need for compassion?

Yan Zhanglin looked at the pieces of paper under his hand, which recorded their lives, ages, where they lived, and so on. Suddenly, I felt that the chapter in my hand was particularly heavy.

This chapter also represents their identity. After they died, this stamped piece of paper also became a little thing they left to their families.
