On the construction site of Tiande Town, it was time for lunch. Civil servants and slaves gathered together in twos and threes, each carrying a porcelain bowl, eating and chatting.
"Have you heard? General Huang is recruiting scouts, and he will be given an extra kilo of rice per month."
"I also heard that this time General Huang not only recruits children from good families, but also civilian husbands, slaves, etc. I heard that once a slave is selected, General Huang will immediately deregister him."
"It's such a good thing that all the soldiers have already robbed them all."
"You are stupid. Everyone can be a scout. Nine out of ten scouts have no bones left. They are celebrating the New Year. I want to burn incense for you at home, but I can't find a place. It's better to die than to live." It¡¯s not that there is nothing we can do, who will be the scout?¡±
"This treatment is worth dying for. It's better to die in battle than to be a slave here."
¡°The coward will starve to death, and the bold one will starve to death.¡±
¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
Everyone was in twos and threes, muttering and discussing the order issued by Huang Mingyuan. The supervisors on the side didn't seem to notice, and didn't even bat an eyelid, allowing them to spread the news.
"I'm quitting my job. I'm going to be a soldier."
Suddenly, a man in the crowd stood up, put the finished porcelain bowl on the ground, and strode towards the supervisor.
This man looks to be no more than 20 years old, but he has a muscular body, a broad purple-black face, and piercing eyes. At first glance, he is an expert in fighting. Seeing his power, everyone did not dare to block him and automatically opened a path for him.
The supervisor standing aside did not punish him. He stepped forward to ask why and took him directly to the recruitment office to register.
The people below sighed for a while, praising him for being freed from his status as a slave, but also seeing how the man couldn't think about it. It was better to die than to live, and he had to die.
At this time, in a corner sheltered from the wind, there was a young man. Although his clothes were ragged, he was handsome and handsome. He looked at the man just now with envy and said, "Brother Ninth, how about the two of us also become scouts?"
The man lying on the sand beside him didn't even look at him. He uttered two words coldly: "I'm not going!"
Hearing his brother¡¯s rejection, the young man became a little anxious and asked hurriedly: ¡°Brother Ninth, why is this? If we become scouts, we will no longer be slaves, and we no longer have to live like this every day.¡±
The man next to him slapped him on the head and scolded: "You have a life to earn this kind of money, but you have to earn the money you have no life to spend."
The young man did not give up because of his brother's scolding, but his thoughts became more intense. He grabbed the bowl in his hand and threw it to the ground, shouting: "Even if you die, it's better than being a slave here. Brother Ninth, I've really had enough. I think that I, the Qian family of Wu Xing, have been crowned with honors for generations. It is considered a wealthy family, but now my two brothers are working as slaves here, carrying earth and pushing rocks every day, which has brought shame on our ancestors. A man should carry a three-foot sword and make achievements. I am willing to be wrapped in horse leather ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡±
The young man on the side suddenly stood up and knocked the young man down with a slap.
"You have forgotten that I said that sinners like us cannot repay our family and humiliate our ancestors."
After saying that, the young man no longer looked at the boy, but put down his job, flicked his sleeves, and strode towards the supervisor.
The young man behind didn¡¯t care about the pain in his face. He was so shocked that he covered his face and shouted: ¡°Brother Ninth, what are you going to do?¡±
The young man in front said without looking back: "I will be a scout as you wish."
The young man was startled, then ecstatic. He immediately rubbed his face and ran to follow him. Brother Ninth finally figured out what else he could care about in order to survive at this time. Now, relying on the abilities of themselves and Ninth Brother, they finally got through this time.
¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
Although there are all kinds of people who hope to change their destiny through joining the army, there are still too few people willing to join the Scout Army, and most of them are slaves. As for civilian husbands, perhaps it is more suitable for them to be civilian husbands. At least the fatigue now is only temporary, and they will go home soon.
Qin Qiong, who went to escort them, came to Datong with about 300 people. All of these people were temporarily placed in the newly built military camp in the north of Datong City.
At this time, in addition to this wave of people, there are more than 200 non-soldiers in the camp. Most of them are slaves and their family conditions are very poor.
These people and more than 400 people, including the original scouts, totaled about a thousand people.
When these people arrived at their destination, someone specially led them into the camp. They were not allowed to enter the tent, but each person was given a bowl of broth.?There are also two large meat buns weighing one pound, plus some fruits and the like, which will be very rich. .
"And these slaves are doing heavy labor all day long, and they don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. When they see these things, they go crazy. Someone was about to come forward to grab it. The cavalryman who was maintaining order immediately pulled out the whip from his waist and whipped it towards the crowd.
This group of slaves subconsciously thought that the other side was the overseer, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but the cavalry on the other side didn't even look at them, they just maintained order.
The boy before was also very surprised when he received this food. He was originally prepared to have this kind of experience at the critical moment of life and death, but now it has completely come true.
The young man held the porcelain bowl and ate the meat buns while saying to his brother: "Brother Ninth, you see I'm right. These meat buns alone make our trip worthwhile."
The young man nodded, wolfed down a meat bun, and then drank the broth in one gulp. Looking around again, no one was paying attention, so he put the remaining meat bun into his arms.
"Brother Ninth, what are you still doing with it? Eat it."
The young man shook his head and said: "I don't know what will happen next. I think I have to keep a meat bun for emergencies."
"That's okay. Brother Ninth said he won't eat it, so I won't eat it either."
The young man was obedient and immediately put the meat buns into his arms.
At this time, the young man saw that the first big man who came out not far away also put the steamed buns into his arms. The big man caught his gaze, the two of them smiled at each other, and each turned to one side.
At this time, no one knew that on a high platform not far away, Huang Mingyuan and Chen Yuan were standing on the high platform looking at the people eating and drinking.
Seeing many people secretly hiding the steamed buns, Chen Yuan smiled and said: "My lord, there are some smart people in this group, and they will probably look better tomorrow."
Huang Mingyuan smiled and was noncommittal.
"There are smart ones, but not many. Believe it or not, Mr. Zhong, most of these people who hide food are poor and scared. It's not because they have any preparations. It's purely because it becomes theirs just like domestic dogs." nature."
Chen Yuan held up his hand and said, "My lord is aware of everything. It's just that my lord has really decided to act according to your plan. Yuan also feels that this selection method is too much."
Huang Mingyuan looked at the people in the distance without turning around and said: "Now that we have decided to start, how can we stop the plan?"
