    In Jinyiwei¡¯s torture chamber, more than a dozen prisoners were tied to benches.

    Today, people have arrived relatively neatly, and all Ji Gang¡¯s confidants are here.

    Looking at these prisoners with bloody bodies, no one present changed their color, they had long been accustomed to it.

    Ji Gang sat next to a pot of charcoal fire and said with a smile: "This group of people have confessed. We have made a contribution. Come and bring in the food and wine."

    Wine and food were brought in like a stream. One of the dishes was hot pot, but the firepower of the small charcoal stove was not enough.

    Ji Gang smiled and said: "The weather is getting colder. It's better to keep it warm. Get some oil and boil it."

    Zhuang Jing hurriedly said: "Then get some strong fire oil."

    Fierce fire oil is a strategic material, but there is no shortage of royal guards.

    A large wooden bucket was brought in by a thin guard in Jinyi. He lowered his head, took a spoon and scooped up a small amount of fire oil, and poured it into the charcoal stove. Suddenly, black smoke rose and the flames burned fiercely.

    Pang Ying smiled and said: "This fierce fire oil is good, but the smoke is a bit stronger and the smell is a bit stronger. It is difficult to put out when it ignites."

    Ji Gang pressed his hands and said, "Everyone has worked hard during this period. Come on, sit down and let us brothers have a good drink."

    After everyone sat down, Wang Qian said in surprise: "Sir, is this the freshest dish?"

    Ji Gang nodded, "Let's have a meal, and Fang Xing won't be able to get rich. Come on, have a drink!"

    ¡­¡­

    The sunset in autumn is beautiful. It feels golden and shines on the eaves, as if a field of rice is planted on it and is about to be harvested.

    But Fang Xing¡¯s mood was not good.

    In Taisun's house, a child who was only as tall as Fang Xing's ribs, wearing a shabby and obviously fat coat was kneeling on the ground in a daze.

    Fang Xing went in and saw this scene and asked, "Who is this?"

    Zhu Zhanji was not there, so Du Qian said: "This is a sergeant from the Yingzhou Guard."

    "A sergeant from Yingzhou Guard?"

    Fang Xing picked up the child, who looked to be seven or eight years old at most, and asked, "Who asked you to become a soldier?"

    The child said blankly: "Sir, there is no one at home"

    Fang Xing looked up and saw Zhu Zhanji coming in.

    Zhu Zhanji waved his hands and waited until he sat down before sighing: "One of the child's father and uncle died in the grassland, and the other died in the Jiaozhi. According to military regulations, those people went to his house to check, but there were only a few left at home.  I married a seventy-year-old grandfather and hooked him up in the end.¡±

    Fang Xing was shocked, touched the child's head and asked, "What's your name?"

    This man, who may be the youngest sergeant in the Ming Dynasty, said: "Sir, the younger one's name is Yue Baoguo."

    This person¡¯s parents must not be illiterate, and the anger in Fang Xing¡¯s heart was rushing around.

    "Is grandfather still there?"

    Yue Baoguo said: "Still."

    Zhu Zhanji said: "When his grandfather Yue Xingbin learned about this inspection of the guard station, he wrote a letter to the Ministry of War."

    Fang Xing said sadly in his heart: "What did the Ministry of War say?"

    Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Master Jin is very sympathetic and has already written to Grandpa Huang to expel his family."

    In the military household system of the Ming Dynasty, once you are selected, as long as you die or are unable to perform military service, the military personnel will immediately contact the local government and continue to select the male members of your family to supplement.

    And this rule is so strict that apart from bribery and escape, it is almost impossible to avoid it.

    Fang Xing smiled bitterly and said: "Unless the sergeants of the Ming Dynasty become ministers of the Ministry of War, they cannot be removed from their ranks. This depends on whether your majesty is accommodating outside the law."

    "I want to submit a memorial!"

    ¡­¡­

    Zhu Di received Jin Zhong¡¯s memorial, and after reading it, he was as heavy as water.

    "Your Majesty, I would like to send you a memorial from Uncle Xinghe."

    The chief eunuch carefully presented the memorial.

    Zhu Di took it casually.

    "Two members of his family sacrificed their lives for the country. Isn't this unloyal? However, after being so loyal, he fell to this place. Isn't it disappointing? Your Majesty, will anyone be willing to serve the country in the future?"

    "Asshole!"

    Zhu Di threw the memorial out, got up and circled on it.

    Recalling Fang Xing¡¯s last memorial, its purpose is obvious: to change the check-box system!

    Zhu Di was a little annoyed, no, it should be said that he was ashamed and angry!

    "If word of this gets out, those people will regard Gou Jun as a fearful way., where will we find sources of troops then?

    "Let Zhanji take care of this matter."

    Zhu Di is well aware that change is not easy. While there are still powerful enemies on the northern grasslands, the reform of the military system must be cautious. Otherwise, if there is a recurrence, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger.

    "You are ignorant!"

    ¡­¡­

    "Your Majesty said, you are ignorant!"

    Huang Yan left proudly, and Du Qian sent him out diligently, leaving Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji behind.

    Zhu Zhanji said awkwardly: "Brother Dehua, is this Yue Baoguo placed in the academy?"

    Since you are a loyal and good person, you should receive preferential treatment.

    Fang Xing nodded in agreement, and then said helplessly: "The reform of the military system must be cautious. I understand this truth, but being cautious is one thing, and being silent is another. Everyone is delaying it. If you wait for decades, then  That¡¯s when the time comes that it¡¯s truly hard to get back!¡±

    When Zhu Zhanji saw Du Qian coming back, he interrupted Fang Xing with a dry cough and said, "I will send someone to pick up his grandfather right now. Brother Dehua, take this child back."

    So Fang Xing had an extra little tail on the way back.

    When he arrived at the academy, Fang Xing called Ma Su and introduced him: "His name is Yue Baoguo, and he will be a disciple of the academy from now on. Please arrange for someone to take care of him until his grandfather arrives."

    Yue Baoguo turned around and looked at Fang Xing, with fear in his eyes.

    "grown ups¡­¡­"

    The childish voice made Fang Xing feel a little sad, and he said: "Don't call me an adult here, call me Mountain Chief."

    "The mountain is long."

    Yue Baoguo tugged at the sleeves that had completely covered his hands and said timidly: "The elder is the mountain chief. The younger one knows how to work, brush horses, feed grass, and wash clothes."

    "This is an academy. You will be a student from now on. Don't be too petty. Just call yourself a student from now on."

    Ma Su didn¡¯t know the origin of this kid wearing a ridiculously large military uniform, but since it was arranged by Fang Xing, he would definitely take good care of it.

    Yue Baoguo looked at Fang Xing with a hint of dependence in his eyes.

    This is a sensible and sensitive child. From the conversation in Taisun Mansion, he keenly realized that the most reliable person is Fang Xing.

    Fang Xing comforted him: "You can live here peacefully. Someone will take care of your life every day. There will also be someone to help you with your studies. If you need anything, just go to the professors."

    Yue Baoguo nodded, and after Fang Xing turned around, he knelt down on the ground, looked straight at Fang Xing's back, choked with sobstears bursting from his face!

    Fang Xing heard the sound, but did not look back, and strode away with a hard heart.

    A child at a certain age is selected to join the army. God knows what he has gone through!

    The sergeants at the local guard station have long become free labor for officials and local gentry. For such a young child, Fang Xing can imagine the pain he has experienced.

    Bewildered, parting, and then suffering.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
