Of course not!

The soldiers of Juxian County were filled with righteous indignation.

If it weren't for Jiang Chengnai's sake, he would have caused a mutiny at this time.

Although they didn't say a word at this time, their sharp gaze made the originally peaceful atmosphere tense.

The soldiers of the Jingji Battalion, who were still eating, suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, but it was clear that it was cold in the middle of June and summer, and they looked up at the cloudless clear sky, not understanding what was happening.

Chen Da was angry when he saw the group of lazy soldiers and oil soldiers in the Jingji Battalion who couldn't distinguish the crisis at all.

"General Jiang, our South Vietnam country is small, and Your Majesty wants to use conscription to put pressure on Western Chu, and I can understand it."

"But the Western Chu State was obviously defeated in the raid on Jinling, their captives were guarded by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the army fought in the northwest...... Why did you recruit 20,000 troops in Jinling and Zhenzhou? ”

Chen Da was not convinced.

And in order for his brothers to be able to vent, he had to express it.

Jiang Cheng and Chen Da had the same thoughts, so he could only think that this was His Majesty the Emperor deliberately making things difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Lao Chen, what you and I can understand, can Your Majesty not understand? As I just said, Zhenzhou will come out of Jinling without 20,000 soldiers and horses, but in addition to guarding the prisoners, Chuxian also has to guard against the Xichu attack again, unless the militia is strong...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely resist and disobey the order. ”

If you don't obey the order, you will be killed!

"Does the emperor want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to apologize for his sins with death?"

Among the garrisons, I don't know who shouted in response to Jiang Cheng's statement.

The soldiers who were eating with rice bowls all stood up menacingly.

The tense atmosphere finally infected the five thousand soldiers of the Jingji Battalion, and they stood up in a panic, and the monk of Zhanger was puzzled.

I don't understand that this holy decree is given to the officials of the town and state, why are these big-headed soldiers in a hurry.

Only Song Qin and Song Zhi calmly ate the nest head in their hands in this surging confrontation.

Song Qin's brain is not very good, but fortunately, Song Zhi is on the side to analyze the current situation.

He understood that Jiang Cheng's intention in leading troops to Zhenzhou was probably not to suppress the rebellious people, but to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and at the same time to fight for His Royal Highness the Prince's place in the army.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now occupies 30% of the territory of South Vietnam, so naturally he will not let His Majesty the Emperor take it away.

Once the war starts, Jiang Cheng, as the former Zhenzhou guard, has more than 20,000 henchmen and soldiers, plus 20,000 soldiers and horses recruited, as long as Jiang Cheng is willing to intercede for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in wartime, His Majesty the Emperor will also have to think about it.

The father-son relationship has a buffer room, and narrowing the scope of the war and reducing the losses of South Vietnamese troops should be the ultimate goal of Jiang Cheng, the defender of Zhenzhou.

Knowing that Jiang Cheng didn't really want to be conscripted to send him to death, Song Qin was certainly not in a hurry.

But Chen Da didn't know.

"General Jiang, you are also from Zhenzhou, the first queen is kind to you, you will ...... Are you just watching His Majesty persecute His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”

Even though His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed in Ju County for several days to measure the fields, Chen Da had never seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with his own eyes.

But just by virtue of the fact that since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came down, the arable land has increased, the people's income has increased, and the rice in the rice field has grown more and more vigorously, he knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just as rumored to say.

Love the people like a son, and serve the country wholeheartedly.

He didn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor would persecute such a crown prince.

"It is rumored that His Majesty does not like the three princes, and the three princes were driven to the Huangzhuang with the poison in their bodies, and when they fled with the whole family, they temporarily canonized the three princes as the princes of the prison country, not to entrust them with important tasks, but to let the three princes die for the country.

As soon as this remark came out.

Jiang Cheng's face changed drastically and blurted out.

"Chen Da! Don't you want to die?! ”

He knew that Chen Da was a person who knew how to repay his kindness and thought about the soldiers under him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Da dared to arrange the emperor's rights and wrongs in public.

He originally wanted to provoke Chen Da to test which side Chen Da would stand on after the war.

Unexpectedly, Chen Da was even more determined than him to protect His Royal Highness the Prince's intentions.

"Life? When Your Majesty abandoned the city and fled north, did you think about our lives? ”

"When Your Majesty was afraid that the assassins of Xichu would take his life, did you think that after the death of the country, Zhenzhou would also be reduced to fish and meat under the sword?"

Chen Da sneered and bowed to Jiang Cheng.

"General Jiang, I know that you understand the truth, so you can tell the true intention of the emperor to embarrass His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, isn't it 20,000 soldiers and horses? There are many sons and daughters in my county who are not afraid of death! Isn't that right? ”

"Yes!"

Most of the recruits stationed in the garrison are new recruits.

There are naturally many brothers and uncles in the family.

They can't make decisions on behalf of others, but they can think that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really disobeys the decree and doesn't want Jinling and Zhenzhou to be conscripted and killed by the emperor.

They were willing to give their lives.

Because they are dead, their families are still there, the farmland is still there, and the living are still looking forward to it.

But if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dies, His Majesty the Emperor will have to empty the grain of the government when he passes through Ju County, and the rice fields that are about to be harvested may become the people's fat and ointment squandered by the royal family.

When the arable land is gone, the displaced people and refugees will not even be able to gnaw the bark of trees, and then it will not be a matter of a few strong men in one family.

Instead, everyone will be slaves and slaves, and live a life that is inferior to cattle and horses again.

"General Jiang, you may not know what kind of good life the people of Zhenzhou are living now, this soldier, without Jinling recruitment, all the states and counties in our Zhenzhou can also be gathered!"

In fact, Jiang Cheng learned about the current situation in Zhenzhou as early as in the letter.

But it's nowhere near as shocking as what you see with your own eyes.

In the past, when conscription, everyone wanted a ration, and defending the country was just an empty word for penniless civilians.

But now, something is different.

"General Chen, don't talk big, you are just a general in Juxian County."

Jiang Cheng still did not forget his mission and continued to stir up.

Chen Da put down the terracotta bowl in his hand and shouted behind him.

"Where's the scout order?!"

"The last general!"

"Quickly convey the holy decree to all the states and counties in Zhenzhou, and say that my sentence county can gather at least 2,000 recruits today, and other states and counties will look at it!"

"Yes!"

Gather 2,000 recruits in one day?

Chen Da's words sounded like empty words to the local garrison.

The soldiers of the Jingji Battalion, who were sitting in the shade drinking porridge and eating meat, burst into laughter.

"In the whole area of Ju County, a small county with a population of 20,000 can produce 2,000 recruits? Being a soldier is not old enough to be a soldier, recruit some crooked melons and cracked dates into the military camp to eat food for nothing to make up the number, and when the time comes, you won't be able to pay the emperor's errand, and I'm afraid that General Jiang, a big general, won't be able to do it. ”

For this kind of cool words.

The soldiers of the Jingji battalion spread the word of mouth and gloated.

Jiang Cheng is not their original top general, they only came to Zhenzhou to suppress the rebellious people to receive credit, plus there are people behind them, knowing that Jiang Cheng has no way to take them, he doesn't need to take care of others at all.

And the local garrison would have stood up for Jiang Cheng when they heard this, but today they learned that Jiang Cheng was here to send the holy decree to recruit soldiers, even if they knew that Jiang Cheng was only here to convey the will, they would inevitably be angry.

Jiang Cheng suddenly felt like a mouse in the bellows, angry at both ends but unable to attack.

Thinking that he was able to keep the peace of Zhenzhou after being wronged, he felt that it was worth it.

"General Lao Chen has been involved in the conscription."

Chen Da let out a "hmm" without being salty, and looked at the soldiers of the Jingji Battalion who said that they were full of food and drink and wanted to take a nap.

"It is also Your Majesty's will to suppress the rebels, and I will send people to cooperate in the end, I don't know if General Jiang will personally go to the place where the rebels are hiding or assign other generals to go?"

Conscription of 20,000 is such a big thing.

Jiang Cheng should have stared at the completion of his own stare and led his troops to ask the emperor for credit.

Just when Chen Da thought so.
