Nanming: I can build wonders

Li Laoshi raised his hand to hit him, but he stopped when he heard his son's ear.

This is the heart and soul of his treasure, he really can't do it.

He said a lot of cruel words before, but they were all angry words. He didn't really think that way in his heart, he just wanted to make this kid subdue.

But now it seems that this kid has exactly the same temper as him, and the stones in the latrine are as smelly and hard.

After a long silence, Li Laoshi let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it, if you insist on going, then go."

Li Changle was stunned.

"Father, what did you say? Did you agree?"

"Stinky boy, don't get cheap and act like a good boy."

Li Laoshi gave Li Changle a hard look and said, "What's wrong, aren't you happy?"

"Father, my son is happy, my son is very happy. Why did you agree all of a sudden?"

"When the child grows up, he wants to go out and venture out. If I force you to stay, will you be able to stay?"

"Father is so kind to me."

Li Changle blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Father, then I will really apply."

"Go away, before I regret it."

Li Changle smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said: "Okay, Dad, I will go to apply first, and I have to go home for dinner tonight."

After finishing speaking, he poured another glass of water for Li Laoshi, and then walked out of the room with small steps.

Li Changle walked out of the house like a wild horse that had run wild.

He ran happily on the dirt road and left the village not long after.

On the official road leading to the county seat, he saw many children of his age.

Some he knew from the same village, and some were so unfamiliar that he couldn't remember their names at all.

"Dezhong, wait for me!"

Li Changle vaguely found his childhood playmate Chen Dezhong, and chased after him overjoyed.

"Dezhong, why are you going to the county seat?"

Chen Dezhong was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "I'm going to the county town to recruit troops, how about you?"

"So coincidental? Me too."

Li Changle seemed even more excited: "Then we have to be together, maybe we can be organized into a battalion."

The two grew up playing in the mud together, if they can be recruited into the army together again, it will be a good story if it gets out, and then there will be someone to take care of them on the battlefield, wouldn't it be great!
The two of them walked for a long time before arriving at the county seat. When they looked up, the sun was already hanging in the sky.

This time the recruiting site was chosen in an open space next to the county government office, and Li Changle and Chen Dezhong went to apply for it together after lunch.

I don't know if I didn't come, but I was really shocked when I came.

The conscription county is almost crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot.

Judging from this posture, the recruitment may not be completed in one day. The enthusiasm of the young people in Yangzhou is really high.

The long line was almost outside the gate of the square, and even if a person counted their heads, it would take a long time.

"Shouldn't it be our turn today?"

"It's all here, what's the point of entanglement."

"That's right, if you come, you'll be safe. What did the scholars say, right? I've heard Mr. Qiu talk about it."

"That's true. By the way, what else is Mr. Qiu talking about?"

"Mr. Qiu talked so much, I can't remember it. But the sentence that Mr. Qiu said the most is what Zi once said."

The two walked forward slowly while chatting.

Anyway, it seems that they won't be able to turn for a while, so there is no need to worry.

"Dezhong, I haven't asked you yet, why did you join the army?"

"You know "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou". I know that the Tartars are so cruel. We Yangzhou people should strengthen ourselves, join the army to kill the Tartars, and go to the capital of the Tartars to avenge the people of Yangzhou."

Li Changle sighed and said: "These villages are hundreds of miles away, and every village has been slaughtered by Tartars. It is not an exaggeration to say that we have a bloody enmity with them."

"Fortunately, Master Daming called and gave us a chance to stand up and be human."

"For our Han family, Erlang should stand up and fight, and never kneel down and be a slave."

The more they talked, the more they got into each other's temper, chatting and laughing happily, but they soon discovered a problem.

The applicants are basically strong and big men. These people are burly and muscular, even if they are slightly inferior, their bodies are still there.

The two of them are quite different, obviously not fully developed, and their bodies look a little thin.

Although the two of them didn't talk about it, they felt a little guilty in their hearts.

But it's all here, and I can only endure it slowly.

Even if they want to leave now, they can only be pushed forward by the people behind them.

After a few hours, Li Changle finally got to the front.

There were only a few people left in front of him, and Li Changle could even see clearly the officers and soldiers in charge of registration.

These officers and soldiers are so young, they should have just joined the army not long ago.

The clothes are really nice, the military boots look very valuable, the Ming army must be too rich, Li Changle was dumbfounded.

It seems that the Ming army treats the new recruits very well, giving them ample opportunities, Li Changle only hopes that he can get out like these Ming officers and soldiers.

In this way, when I return to my hometown in the future, I will be able to show off in front of my parents and fellow villagers, and my father will also have glory.

Although it is difficult to get ahead as a soldier, at least I have a thought, it is better than eating in the loess for a lifetime, and the leaflets say that the Ming army is invincible, and five Qing troops died on the battlefield. If a Ming army dies, safety is absolutely guaranteed.

"Next!"

Soon it was Li Changle's turn, but he was still dreaming happily.

"Next!"

The Wehrmacht officers and soldiers in charge of registration seemed a little impatient.

"coming!"

Li Changle let out an exclamation and pulled away from his imagination.

"What's your name? Where are you from?"

"My name is Li Changle, and I'm from Shuanglong Village."

"Why did you apply?"

"I want to serve the Ming court."

"You're young, but your tone is not small."

The officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces snorted coldly and said, "Tell the truth."

"It's true. I want to kill the Tartars. Isn't killing the Tartars just to serve the court?"

Li Changle explained anxiously.

"It's kind of believable to hear you say that."

No matter in which era, sincerity is always a nirvana.

"You are going to sign up for the new army of the Ming Dynasty National Defense Army. After passing the military training, you will have two silver dollars every month, but you must obey the command and not leave the camp without permission. Otherwise, you will be dealt with according to the military law. Have you figured it out?"

Li Changle originally thought that joining the army would provide him with food and lodging, but he didn't expect that there would be money, and it was two silver dollars a month, which Li Changle never dreamed of.

Although Li Changle didn't know what a silver dollar looked like, Ming Jun was so rich, so he shouldn't cheat an honest man like him, right?

"I do, I do!"

He quickly replied, afraid that the other party would regret it if he spoke too slowly.

"Press your thumbprint here."

The officer and soldier clicked on a page.

Li Changle hastily dipped his thumb in ink pad and pressed it hard.

And his younger brother Chen Dezhong also successfully applied for the job.

This time the Ming Dynasty recruited troops in Yangzhou, of course, not to let them go to the battlefield, but to train a local armed force to prevent banditry in the rear when the main force of the Ming Dynasty went north.

At the same time, it can also be used as a reserve source of troops. Once the battle ahead is tight and the casualties are too large, they will be asked to support the Northern Expedition.

The new army assembled in three days, so Li Changle and Chen Dezhong still had time to go back and see their families.

Especially Li Changle still felt a little guilty towards his father, so he wanted to have a good chat with his father this time when he went back.

The two left the county together and returned to the village together.

As soon as Li Changle entered the room, he shouted loudly: "Father, I was chosen."

"You were chosen?"

There was some disappointment in Li Laoshi's tone.

In fact, he still had a little fantasy that his boy would not be selected.

"Then when are you leaving?"

"Three days later."

The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and the room was silent.

Li Laoshi sighed and said, "I will kowtow to your mother later, she is packing up your things."

"When you go to the Ming army, you have to work hard. You can't be petty like you were at home. After all, no one is used to you like that. When fighting, don't rush to the front. Just follow behind and cheer. The battle you can win is as good as yours. One, if you don’t win a battle, you will be in the front and it won’t help.”

Taking advantage of his son's time to apply for the draft, he inquired around for information about the Ming army. He also knew that Ming soldiers had high status, good pay, low casualties, and easy prospects, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li honestly murmured: "Father has no other requirements for you, not asking you to be a marquis or minister, not asking you to be famous, but I hope you come back alive in peace, dad is just a son like you, and I am waiting for you to give me a son." retirement."
