The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Many years have passed since we had a peaceful life, and the people here are happily reproducing. At first, he was just a bachelor soldier, but now his family has dozens of people.

The local government also knows what is going on in this kind of village. Even though they are now useless old soldiers, they still have many students and old friends in the army, and some of them have even become officials. If you want to find trouble with them, it may not show up at the time, but if there are generals going to the royal capital, they will stop those generals and say a few words, and the local officials will be very happy.

Therefore, when there is nothing to do, local officials will not come here, unless they are mentally ill. Not only can you not find any good things here, you may even lose your job. For every official, such a place is a forbidden zone in his life.

But the situation today was different. The children in the village saw from a distance that a group of black knights were coming. These people were wearing black gauze clothes, riding war horses and camels, and they were coming towards the village. It was obvious that something was going on.

The young people in the village also saw this scene and hurried to inform the elderly in the village. They had never seen anything like this since the day they were born, which was already 20 to 30 years ago.

Didn't the court promise them before? The village would not come to recruit soldiers, but these people were obviously recruited from the capital.

Although the elderly in the village often say that they want to send their children and grandchildren to join the army, it is just talk and no one is really willing to let their sons join the army.

Especially those families who have a decent life are even more reluctant to let their children and grandchildren join the army. They have experienced the ruthlessness of the battlefield in their early years. Now they are shouldering the credit just to let their family live a good life.

People in their forties and fifties are not that worrying, after all, they are too old to keep up. Even if they are brought to the battlefield, they will not be able to serve the empire. The most worrying thing is people in their thirties.

In the eyes of all the generals who have served in the military, these people can be said to be the most valuable assets of the entire army. Their physical strength can still keep up, and most importantly, their combat experience is very rich. If they can be organized, they will definitely have more than three times the number of new recruits.

Moreover, these people have families and jobs and are easier to control. They will never desert on the battlefield. If they desert or surrender, their families will have a hard time. Even if they are assigned to do the most dangerous work, these people will go without hesitation, and their families will take good care of them after they die in battle.

But if you escape, then your family will have to enjoy the exile. Anyway, there are too many places to be exiled around the Arab Empire. Everywhere are newly occupied lands. In those lands, the disputes between them and the indigenous people are so numerous that it would take three days and three nights to talk about them.

Several old people came out of the house in a panic. They looked at everything in front of them in disbelief. If it was normal, it would be fine for the family members to serve in the army. After all, the army of the Arab Empire was invincible. Although there were casualties, the chance of survival was very high. But now the situation is different. The army of the Arab Empire is fighting with the army of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone can see that our losses were very large during the battle with the army of the Tang Dynasty. Although the court has been promoting our victory, these old people also understand that if we really win, will they send people to recruit soldiers?
Sending people here to recruit soldiers can only mean one thing: the existing army can no longer hold on, and they have to be mobilized.

"Hello, old man Modila..."

Just when these old men had not yet figured out the situation, a team of black cavalrymen had already arrived in front of them, and a junior officer dismounted from his horse. This man knew Modira. When old man Modira led his troops to capture Tunisia, it was a huge price to pay. He brought more than a hundred people, but in the end only five or six people survived. Those five or six people were the original residents of this village.

"Sir, I don't know why you are here. We have received the will of the previous caliph, allowing us to live here permanently and not allowing us to join the army again."

Modila said nervously that he had four sons in total, three of whom died on the battlefield, and one son was by his side. If he was called up now, he would not worry about going to the army, but he might not be able to keep this son. Would he be left without a son when he was old? What's more, my grandson is still young, and I can't support the family at all.

"That was all in the past. Now, under the command of Grand Marshal Sukhguman, His Excellency the Caliph has allowed us to recruit soldiers around the capital. According to the policy we have formulated, your village must provide 19 people under the age of 35."

The gentleman took out the official document he was carrying. There were people in the village who could read, and when they saw the blue official seal on it, they knew it was authentic. Moreover, it was stamped with two official seals, one for the army responsible for conscription, and the other for the local government.

Nineteen under the age of thirty-five?
Modira began to figure out in his mind if he could keep his son here, but when he thought about it, he found out that the government had already counted everyone in, including his only surviving son, and no one could escape, so they were going to transport away some of the most elite people in the village.

You should know that the area around the capital of the Arab Empire was not so peaceful, and there were still many desert bandits around it. These people had all kinds of identities in the early years, but they had one thing in common, that is, they were at odds with the Arab Empire, so they ran to the desert to become bandits.

The Royal Capital Garrison had also cleared them out many times, but unfortunately there had not been much success. Some people even said that the leaders of those bandits kept giving gifts to the garrison, which was the reason why they had survived countless clearings.

If all the strong men in the village leave now, then this village will become the favorite place for bandits. Maybe they will come early tonight, and then the whole village will become a disaster area. (End of this chapter)
