62 The troubled times began

Although Chen Mo has never been to Fuyou City, he still knows about several major cities in Qingzhou from the book.

Fuyou City is the first big city in Qingzhou near the north, in a strategic sense, it is the first line of defense in Qingzhou, and the fall of Fuyou City means that Nanyang will have no danger to defend before, and can only fight according to the city.

Fengxian, also a big city in Qingzhou, the population of the city is second only to Nanyang, located on the right wing of Nanyang, if Fengxian also falls, then Nanyang will be dumplings by the rebels.

It can be said that the current situation in Nanyang is very critical.

In order to rescue Fengxian and relieve the siege of Nanyang, he could only recruit soldiers.

According to Wu Shan, Pingting County only lost 500 places because the county magistrate was a prefect and a student, and other counties had 1,000 places, and some counties with large populations had even more.

Chen Mo originally wanted to go into the city to find out if the thieves were coming, but he didn't expect that the Qingzhou army had already lost the battle.

The weather has just warmed up, and spring hasn't started yet, right?

That's too fast.

"Wushan, isn't there 100,000 elites in Qingzhou, this is not the beginning of spring, why did you lose Fuyou City?"

Judging from the limited historical knowledge before Chen Mowei's travel, the peasant uprisings in ancient times. Don't look at the momentum, but most of them have been suppressed.

In the final analysis, a rebel army composed of a group of peasants is nothing more than a rabble, how can it be an opponent of the regular army, not to mention that this is still a martial arts world.

Wu Shan shook his head, he was just a small catcher, how could he know so clearly, he said: "I heard that it seemed to be won at the beginning, and then the ambush was pursued by the victory, and I don't know the specifics." ”

Brave and resourceful, it seems that this rebel army is not just a simple peasant army.

Chen Mo took a sip of tea, and then said: "Brother Wu, these five hundred places in the county, Master Chang wants to recruit them outside the city." ”

"Brother Chen is worthy of being a scholar, and his brain is fast." Wu Shan said: "According to the meaning of the adults, start recruiting troops from outside the city first, and if it is not enough, then make up from the city." ”

Sure enough, I really don't treat people outside the city as human beings.

As for offending people?

In the past, when the city fee was collected, the hierarchy of people had already been divided.

You can't even afford to pay for going into the city, what's wrong with offending you?

Tapping his fingers lightly on the table, Chen Mo smiled and said, "Since Brother Wu came to me, there must be a way to help me get rid of conscription." ”

In this world, being caught and going to the front line to kill the enemy is no different from death.

Besides, in this dog's court, it is good enough that he doesn't rebel, and it is impossible to give it his life.

For him, as a traverser, he has no sense of identity and belonging to the Great Song Dynasty.

Wu Shan gave Chen Mo a thumbs up and said, "Brother Chen, since the first time you and I met, I felt that you had a compassionate face, and the last time I was in the Zijin Building, I also felt that you were extremely bright, you and I brothers, how can I bear you to go to the battlefield......

The yamen decided to start arresting Ding tomorrow, and if Brother Chen wanted not to be arrested, there were only two ways. One is to go into the city now and buy a house in the city, and move into the city immediately. But this method is not very safe, once the yamen does not gather people at the city gate, it will still arrest people from the city to fill the vacancy..."

Speaking of this, Wu Shan paused, rubbed his hands, and said in a low voice: "Spend money to avoid disasters." ”

"How much?" Chen Mo understands the meaning of this, that is, to spend money to replace you, originally you were going to be requisitioned, but if you spend money, you can let someone who has no money take your place.

However, in the current situation, I am afraid that this kind of hypocrisy will not be done with you, and it will directly force the strong Ding.

Wu Shan tapped the tea with his finger and wrote a number on the table.

"Five taels." Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, this number doesn't sound like much, but in a small mountain village like Fuze Village, if you empty a home, you can't take out five taels of silver.

"Brother Chen, you are a martial artist, these five taels are the price of a martial artist, if you are not a martial artist, then you have to add another five taels." Wushan Road.

Wu Shan left, and when he left, Chen Mo gave him an extra tael of silver.

Wu Shan can still deal with this person, at least he really does things with money, and Chen Mo also needs a source in the yamen.

As for the money for this conscription, Chen Mo plans to give it.

Although he could hide in the cellar or hide in the mountains to escape, first, doing so might affect Wu Shan, and second, there was no big chaos at present, and Chen Mo didn't want to hide yet.

Of course, there is another way to avoid conscription, but this method is more ruthless.

That would be self-harm, stabbing one's eyes or breaking one's own hands and feet.

If he remembers correctly, he had already learned about this in a text he had learned.

……

Next.

As Wu Shan said, the people from the Yamen entered the village to arrest Ding, and the whole village was in an uproar.

This time, not only the people of the yamen, but also the garrison of the city were also sent out to assist.

House doors were kicked open.

"The Heavenly Master in the north has come to the thief, and the time has come to make meritorious contributions."

"Lu San, huh? Why is this gone? ”

"Forty, forty don't you have to go? You can still walk and jump. ”

"What, you want to serve in the army for your father? I don't care about you. ”

For a time, the whole village cried, bones separated, and husbands and wives were separated everywhere.

And the Chen family and Zhang He's family survived because they paid silver taels.

……

Fuze Village has a small population, and when it happens, the whole village is in mourning, and every family is crying.

Before, even if life was hard and difficult, and even if taxes were collected before, the villagers would greet others with a smile when they went out.

But now, all smiles are gone.

On the contrary, Liu Shu escaped the conscription because he followed the group of splatters and was not at home every day.

The Chen family, because of the impact of conscription, the crying of every family, Han Anniang's mood was also relatively low.

Song Min is making a grimace to make Han Anniang happy.

"Uncle, when is such a day a head?" Han Anniang hugged Chen Mo tightly, and her voice was crisp and soft.

Chen Da was seriously injured because he went to the battlefield, and he left not long after he returned.

Han Anniang knew that these people went to the battlefield, and if they could survive or not, there would be no one out of ten.

Hearing this, Chen Mo was silent, he didn't know when it would end, what he knew, such a huge peasant uprising, when the imperial court needed to recruit troops to resist, it was often when a country was about to perish, which meant that the real troubled times would begin.

At that time, order will collapse, chaos will arise, and real human life will be like a mustard.

Now people are dying of hunger in a village, and the sale of children and daughters is just a pediatric.

Until then.

The human world is no longer the human world.

The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.

That would be hell......

ps: I read the previous comments that some people said that the protagonist was going to overthrow the court and rebel, and I will clarify now that this is not a rumor, this is the main line.
