The arrival of the Ning family completely disrupted the plan that Chen Chao had arranged long ago.

Originally, he planned to leave for Baiyunguan in two days to accompany the birth.

But now, that plan had to be changed on the fly.

That night, he entered the palace and had a secret conversation with Emperor Yongxing, promising to help the emperor solve some troubles.

As the prime minister, Chen Chao will naturally not break his promise, and the first one is to solve the bandits in Yunzhou.

Yunzhou is thousands of miles away, and the Chen Dynasty does not know much about the situation there, and the one who knows the situation best is the military department.

So, one day when the wind and the sun were beautiful, Chen Chao ordered Houji to bring a gift, which was a cart of Nanshan pure brew, and went to visit Zhou Mi, the secretary of the military department.

After the last conversation, Chen Chao only had respect for this veteran general who had been fighting horses for half his life.

If Daji wants to go to the next level, it needs more thought.

In a few words, Chen Chao pulled the topic to the Yunzhou bandits.

Zhou Mi may have received a secret order from Emperor Yongxing in private, asking him to cooperate with the Chen Dynasty.

So whatever Chen Chao asked, Zhou Mi answered, no matter how big or small.

When it comes to the best of fun, the two will inevitably be revealed.

When Zhou Mi drank Nanshan pure brew, his eyes lit up.

Hey, good wine.

It's just that when he heard that this small jar of wine could be sold for more than a thousand taels, just like that, the princes and nobles couldn't grab it, Zhou Mi couldn't help but be surprised.

A carload of pure Nanshan brew is enough to make the poor and sour Zhou Mansion suddenly become rich.

Zhou Mi said that he didn't want anything, and said that he could leave one or two jars and taste fresh, but Chen Chao forced Zhou Mi to give a car and send a favor.

After really understanding the situation in Yunzhou, Chen Chao's face became ugly.

Originally, I thought that with a brave and unparalleled pioneer to break the bandits, open a breakthrough, and Yunzhou bandits would solve their troubles, but now, Chen Chao doesn't think so.

According to Zhou Mi's words, the bandits in Yunzhou have become a trend, coupled with the chaos of the people, they have swept hundreds of thousands of people, and the state of Chu is behind to fund grain, grass and armor, and the combat power has reached its peak for a while.

The officers and soldiers who were previously sent to Yunzhou to suppress the bandits could not be found in the north by the bandits, lost their armor, and lost successive battles.

Give the bandits a few more months, and Yunzhou will be independent.

No wonder, Emperor Yongxing was so worried about the situation in Yunzhou and was anxious for Chen Chao to find a way to solve it.

After returning home, Chen Chao began to gather his staff to discuss a solution.

With Emperor Yongxing's private permission, the Chen Dynasty started the first step of the plan to suppress bandits:

Recruitment!

Only with soldiers can we fight.

As for the soldiers who are currently registered in the Daji Military Department, Chen Chao can't look down on them.

He had to train himself.

Train an army of steel, a division of a hundred battles!

The banner is naturally to support Yunzhou and quell the bandits.

As soon as this news came out, it was naturally impossible for some officials of the military department and the military to watch the Chen Dynasty not only hold power alone, but also get involved in military power.

So, they joined forces and went to the book to refer to Chen Chao.

But Emperor Yongxing never replied to them, and this excerpt of the Chen Dynasty was finally lost.

At this time, the smart person reacted and thought that the Chen Dynasty had privately recruited troops, which should have been authorized by His Majesty.

Otherwise, the Chen Dynasty would not dare to recruit troops in a big way.

After thinking about it, they turned a blind eye and simply followed Chen Chao.

But more people are worried.

After the Chen Dynasty took control of the army, where should Daji go?

.....

The worries of the hundred officials were not considered by the Chen Dynasty.

He is now with his men and horses, and has rushed to Qingshan County.

The reason why the first stop of the recruitment was in Qingshan County was based on several considerations:

First, Qingshan County has a large population, with 80,000.

Second, during the catastrophe, the Chen Dynasty brushed a wave of favorability in the hearts of the people of Qingshan County, and the recruitment of troops would be smoother.

Third, the living conditions of the people here have gone up, so it is natural to think that when the status can be improved, it is the best choice to become a soldier and fight a war for the country.

For these three reasons, the Chen Dynasty began to recruit troops in Qingshan County.

In the early morning of this day, the wind was beautiful and the white clouds were fluttering.

Chen Chao changed into the purple robe of the crane and took a few people to the gate of Qingshan County.

Tell Hou Ji to post the notice of recruitment in the notice board at the gate of the city.

With the sound of a gong.

Hou Ji opened his throat and shouted:

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss it when you pass by, the imperial court recruits, the imperial court recruits~"

"There are not many places, first come, first served, and you will be given a settlement fee of thirty taels for registration!"

"Thirty taels! Thirty taels! ”

"Meritorious service on the battlefield in the future, meritorious service will be counted separately!"

This voice summoned all the people.

Unlike other countries, the Daji Dynasty practiced conscription.

That is, the state forcibly conscripts all young and middle-aged men to serve in the military.

Daji implements a conscription system, and the people voluntarily participate, and the recruits are diverse, including prisoners, merchants, people's husbands, hooligans, and everyone else.

This also led to the uneven quality of Daji's troops, and the combat effectiveness was extremely poor.

Although the army is not very good, who is called Daji, even if it is a wheel battle, the enemy can be dragged to death!

"Yo, recruitment? Go fight the bandits. ”

"I see."

"The settling-in allowance is ...... Three, thirty taels? ”

"What, thirty taels!"

The people gathered around the notice board were amazed.

The imperial court recruited soldiers in previous years, and due to the large population of Daji, you are not worse than alone, so the settlement fee for being a soldier is better than nothing, at most two taels of silver.

It's good now, give thirty taels at once?

That's too much, right?

Take thirty taels of settling-in allowance, and then be a soldier for another year, and live a gangster life, and when you come back, you can marry a yellow flower girl as a daughter-in-law.

When some sturdy men heard this, they rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward, and asked eagerly:

"Official, is it true that thirty taels of settling-in expenses? Don't lie to us. ”

"This is stamped with an official seal, written in black and white, I can still fake it......"

Hearing this answer, those men rushed to the registration office impatiently to sign up for the army.

Waiting for the old officials to take the pen and write their names in the conscription book, the man licked his lips and stretched out his hand, "Official, thirty taels, I just said it." ”

Hou Ji looked over, but he did not ask anyone to give them the silver.

Instead, he raised his head and said loudly, "This recruitment is different from the form of previous years, those who sign up must undergo two months of military training, and those who remain in the end and are not eliminated will have a settling-in allowance of 30 taels." ”

Rumble!

The one who has already signed up exploded.

Isn't it a lie that there was a riot at the scene? Make them happy in vain.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Hou Ji sighed and pulled out the knife at his waist.

"I see who dares to make trouble! Try it! ”

"Those who have the ability will take thirty taels, and those who don't have the ability should go home as soon as possible to nurse the child."

The man was not convinced, and stood in front:

"Qingshan County, which one has no eggs, stand up!"

No one stood forward.

The man said loudly again: "Official! Two months is two months, if we pass that so-called military training ......"

Hou Ji stepped forward and glared, "Don't give it to you, Lao Tzu didn't bring eggs!" ”

"Done! What I am waiting for is the official's words! ”
