Chapter 25 Why Women Can't Join the Army
Great, finally someone came to rob!

Ah, excited heart, trembling hands, the future rations have been settled!

Obscure Moon has never felt that these ferocious horse bandits are so kind.

In the blink of an eye, the gang of menacing horse bandits surrounded the Xu family's campsite with dust and smoke.

The leader of this group of horse bandits has a square face and a smooth beard that is two feet long, very much like the legendary bearded public official Guan Yu.

Obscure Moon looked up and down at the bearded leader, staring at his beard curiously, and didn't know what shampoo he used to keep his beard so smooth.

When the rest of the Xu family heard the commotion outside, they quickly ran out of the tent with farm tools. Several children who had learned some boxing skills from Shen Yinxing pointed at the horse bandits with hatchets, and looked eager to try.

Originally thought that this wave of horse bandits would clamor to kill men and take away children and women.

Surprisingly, the bearded man on a horse looked around the crowd, then with a big wave of his hand, he summoned two soldiers to throw a few bulging sacks on the open space.

Um?What does it mean?
Obscure Moon tilted her head to look at the sack thrown on the ground.

The sack was bulging, and judging from the bulging shape on the outside, it seemed that there were round objects inside.

Damn, it's not a human head pretending to be inside!
Thinking of this, Ozuki couldn't help shivering.

Then with a stabbing sound, the bearded man drew out the big knife from his waist and cut through the sack on the ground.

Everyone stretched their heads to look inside the sack, and they couldn't help being surprised. It turned out that the sack was filled with big white steamed buns.

Ozuki was dumbfounded, huh?What's the situation?

The horse bandits stopped robbing, and changed to helping the victims?

"My fellow countrymen, Fang Qishan, a native of Zhoushan in northern Henan, is currently the left governor of the Hebei government army and is loyal to King Yuan of Hebei. Now that the Qiang people are attacking and Daqing has abandoned northern Henan, King Yuan can't bear the killing of the people in northern Henan by foreign enemies. Trampling, I want to lead the rebel army to intercept the Qiang enemy, and now I urgently need to recruit troops to guard the homeland together." The bearded man Fang Qishan spoke like a bell, and the cloak behind him fluttered in the wind, showing the demeanor of a general.

Wuyue nodded, she understood, the translation of Fang Qishan's words was that King Yuan of Hebei was dissatisfied with Daqing's handing over the territory to the Qiang people, so he reversed, and now he wants to take the opportunity to win over the people to resist the Qiang people, and wait to save Northern Henan After that, it is logical to occupy the Hebei and Northern Henan regions.

King Yuan is begging for wealth and wealth, dare to turn Daqing out to make trouble at this time, there are Qiang people before him and Daqing behind, King Yuan is afraid that he will be attacked by the enemy next time, and he probably will not have good fruit.

But if King Yuan can repel the Qiang army and become famous among the people, there will definitely be many people who will go to join him. The world will probably be reshuffled, and the dragon chair of that bastard prince Daqing may not be able to sit secure.

The meaning of Fang Qishan today is very simple, that is, I am willing to give you a bite to eat, but you have to work hard for me.

This is actually a forced conscription, Fang Qishan's words did not seem to force it, but if you dare to refuse, then you have to ask the big sword in their hand if they agree.

The members of the Xu family heard the meaning of Fang Qishan's words, and felt very embarrassed for a while. They were all honest and responsible farmers. Now that the family suffered from a drought, they only wanted to escape to other places to farm and make a living. They never thought of following Man-made rebellion.

Fang Qishan was not surprised to see these refugees' expressions of embarrassment and no one came forward to snatch the steamed buns. He stroked his beard and said, "Mr. When there is a war, the whole people will fight."

In other words, as long as you join the army, you will be given [-] acres of fertile land. When there is no war, everyone will plant the fields, and when there is a war, you will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

This Yuan Wang's calculation is really good. Fifty acres of fertile land is a great temptation for this group of homeless farmers.

Leaning on his crutches, the old village chief cupped his hands and said, "General Fang, there are thousands of miles of dry land in northern Henan, and now there is no land to plant. May I ask where the fifty acres of fertile land are placed?"

Fang Qishan: "Hebei is vast, with thousands of miles of fertile fields. If you join the army, the chieftains in Hebei will allocate fertile land, and a family will only need one male."

Everyone heard that if they were not going to the battlefield, then Hebei would be a good place to go.

Right now there is a shortage of food, and everyone will starve to death if they go north. It is better to defect to Hebei and follow Yuan Wang to fight the Qiang people. Maybe one day they can return to their hometown in northern Henan.

"I'm quite willing. Yuan Wang Renyi not only helps us fight the Qiang people, but also divides our land. It's much better than that wimpy Prince Daqing," Brother Erya said.

"How about? Let's go to Yuan Wang together? That's fifty acres of fertile land!"

"Yes, we simply follow Yuan Wang and do some business."

"The current situation in the world is turbulent, and there will be no peace wherever you go."

Several young and middle-aged members of the Xu family were chattering on the sidelines.

"Father, aren't we going to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia?" Oogyue asked while hugging Xu Jingyang's neck. In fact, she still wanted to go north to Inner Mongolia to see the vast grasslands. King Yuan is weak and his chances of winning are not great. Hebei is actually Not a good place to go.

Obscure Moon's idea of ​​going north to Inner Mongolia reached Fang Qishan's ears, he stroked his beard and laughed: "Little baby, it's late autumn and winter will soon come, and the grasslands in the north are windy in winter and the climate is cold When the white hair wind comes, countless cattle and sheep are frozen to death in the blizzard, and the number of people who die on the grassland in winter is no less than the people who are now suffering from famine."

After hearing this, Wuyue suddenly felt that Fang Qishan was right. She had indeed ignored the seasonal factors. In winter, the grassland was frozen three feet, and the aquatic plants were covered with ice and snow. At this time, the herdsmen would migrate to warmer places. In fact, summer is the The best time to go to the grasslands.

"Yue'er, we actually have no choice. The rations are almost gone, and we can't even reach the Shantong Pass." Shen Yinxing said, shaking the dry ration bag that had bottomed out.

"Seventh Uncle, shall we go to war? People will die in a war." Ozuki raised her face and asked the old village head.

The old village chief sighed, and then patted Lu Yue's little head: "Child, there is no other place to go now, and if we don't agree today, I'm afraid it will be a dead end."

"I'm going to Hebei to follow Yuan Wang and fight against the Qiang enemies together. Do you still have any objections?" Fang Qishan got a little impatient with the wait, and the group of refugees really started discussing there, thinking that they still have the right to choose.

Hearing Fang Qishan's question, everyone in the Xu family didn't say anything, as if they had already acquiesced.

"Wait? I have an objection!" A female voice came from the crowd, which seemed a little out of place at this time.

Fang Qishan saw that it was a woman in common clothes, so he said impatiently: "You are a woman, what objection do you have?"

Shen Yinxing put down the shriveled dry food bag in his hand, and said confidently: "Why can't women join the army because you only want men?"
