Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 655: Homecoming

Yu Liang returned home and talked about joining the army. As a result, his old lady and his wife were crying, and he was almost beaten by his father. Later, he said that he was going to be an official or just a military attache. This was only slightly understood.

Then he began to vigorously encourage the villagers to join the army, tirelessly talking about the benefits of being a village sergeant. Because if you don't find some people, you can't be a ten general... He is a student, if he is a pawn, he can't make a difference at home.

The situation is pretty good. The Kaifeng branch office is not easy to recruit people because the villagers don’t know it! People in the village are illiterate and rarely enter the city. But the officials in that county didn't implement the imperial order.

...In the village of Zhangzhuang, the old Zhang family originally had five sons, but now there are three left. The oldest ones are in their early thirties, all bachelors!

A family of five was having dinner in the yard while discussing what the Yu family had said.

Although it was a yard, there was only a dilapidated earth wall, not even a door. The sky was already dimmed, and a few people were holding thick bowls in the yard, there was still a little light, but the room was dark and there was no lamp oil.

The second and fourth are dead. Xiuhuanghe died, and now there are three men besides Zhang.

Old man Zhang took a sip of vegetable leaf soup and said, "Must be free..."

The old woman with gray hair and tousled hurriedly said, "Those who are going to fight for their lives, swords and guns do not have eyes."

The third son said: "It's better than repairing the Yellow River every year, so you don't need to bring rations."

The boss said weakly: "There is still a lot of money to burn after death..."

One person in the family said one sentence, and then he said nothing.

Zhang Da was dressed in tattered clothes, and his hair was tied to the top of his head with a twine. He was very thin, but because of his thick bones, he looked very big and burly.

He finished a bowl of vegetable soup, leaving a thin layer of rice in the bowl, stood up, and walked to the fifth, who was sitting on the threshold holding the bowl and said nothing. The fifth was only twelve years old. Zhang Da poured the rice grains from the bowl into Lao Wu's bowl.

The old fifth swallowed a sip of water and hurriedly said, "Big brother, you eat, you eat."

Zhang Da turned around and put the bowl in the room.

After a while, the third child also poured the leftover rice into the younger brother’s bowl and said with a smile: "Half-sized son, just when he can eat. The fifth brother grows better, and I will ask for a wife later, my old Zhang’s family will pass incense ."

The old fifth wiped his eyes and said, "If I can beg my wife, let her also serve the eldest and third brothers."

Upon hearing this, the old woman spit, cursing: "Stupid!"

Zhang Da walked out of the room and hummed, "I go to Shusheng Yu, I go to Congwu."

Zhang Sandao: "Brother, I still go, you are good at farming."

Zhang Dadao: "The third child is still young, maybe I can still beg for my wife. If I die, the government will take the money to marry my wife, and I will be buried in a straw mat."

At this moment, the two younger brothers suddenly burst into tears.

"Cry ass!" Zhang Da cursed, "Isn't the second and fourth buried in the same way, they are all dead, so what do they cost?"

Zhang Da talked to his parents and went out to Yu's house, and the third child followed him involuntarily.

When he arrived at Yu Liang's house, he entered the building of the building, and there were two other men talking to Yu Liang. Zhang Da and the third child stood silently at the door and stood against the wall. The two brothers moved their hands in their tattered sleeves and stood there with their necks locked.

Yu Liang cast his gaze over, and asked casually: "What do you two do?"

Zhang Dadao: "Just do the job, Yu Shusheng said in the village."

Yu Liang said: "Join the army?"

"Humph." Zhang Da said from his nose.

Yu Liang said, "You two brothers in your old Zhang family?"

Zhang Dadao: "I'm going, he will come to see."

The third son said: "I will go too."

Yu Liang's tone was slightly polite, and then asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Old Man Yu next to him coughed dryly. Zhang Da turned his head and glanced, and said, "I will have eaten it."

Yu Liang picked up the pen and wrote for a while, then raised his head and said, "Then go back and prepare, and go with me in three days."

"Have you hit?" Zhang Da asked puzzledly.

Yu Liang said: "It's hit! As soon as I report it, your Zhang family is a military household. As long as someone is in the military, the whole family doesn't need to be in service."

The two were confused and joined the army. When they went back to talk about it, the old lady cried again. But the family said they had become a military citizen, and they didn't dare to go back, for fear of being arrested by the government for guilt.

Three days later, Yu Liang had gathered a dozen men and walked to the county with them. A green-robed official received them and took them to the official courtyard for dinner.

It turned out to be white rice!

A group of people beamed their eyes, sat on the table, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating. No one said a word. On the table, there was only the sound of chopsticks colliding with the bowl and the sound of chewing rustling.

Some people ate quickly, holding the bowl and licking the bottom of the bowl after a while.

At this moment, a burst of crying was heard suddenly, and when everyone turned their heads to look, the third Zhang family cried loudly in Nao. Zhang Da annoyed: "How much are you crying? Ashamed and not ashamed!"

Zhang San choked up and said, "I eat white rice, my parents are drinking vegetable leaf soup..."

Zhang Da looked dimmed for a while, and said: "Hurry up and eat, it's not the rations at home, so I save them."

Everyone was silent.

The county government sent out wheat cakes for a few days and packed them in cloth bags! Then Yu Liang and another leading man took the people to Kaifeng Mansion all the way. The crowd was very dull the first two days. It didn't take long for everyone to feel tired after eating a full meal, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

At the big camp outside Tokyo, one wheelbarrow on the road pushed food into the camp, and the sacks still had the words "Taicang" on them. Seeing so much food, everyone felt more at ease.

The commanding envoy personally received Yu Liang and his dozens of people. Seeing that they were all young and strong men, he was very happy. He immediately appointed Yu Liang as the first commander of the right regiment and the third team of the third team. A dozen more people were arranged. Make up a team for him.

Then, a large truck of clothes arrived, and there was a flag on the truck that read: Shen Chen Li Weaving.

The escorted robe man clasped his fists and said: "This batch of uniforms is the heart of Mrs. Shen, please accept the military."

The commander's face was full of laughter: "Shen Chen Li Shang Xing is worthy of justice and light fortune, and he is a righteous businessman!"

"Where is it." The robe man said politely.

The commander waved his hand: "Go to the river to fetch water and boil the bath water, wash it and change it!" After speaking, his gaze stayed on Zhang Da's tattered clothes, frowning, "Like this kind of clothes, quickly change them and throw them away. ! We are not begging for food!"

Except for clothes, one person and one helmet; there is no armor and no weapons.

After everyone had taken a bath and changed into uniforms, the camp was noisy, and "haha" laughed from time to time, and everyone was very happy. Because this uniform is really beautiful!

The shoulders are leather! It looks like shoulder armor; the wrists are also leather. The gray linen is strong and flat, well-made, with dense and neat stitches. A large placket on the chest is shaped like a breastplate, with a green fluorene head on the waist and a leather belt; the linen pants on the lower body are lighter in color, and the color of the whole set is very layered. Melaleuca boots are also very comfortable to wear.

The commander also laughed and said, "I heard that the clothes made by Shen, Chen, and Li are all the clothes of high-ranking officials and nobles. The things they make are really serious! Might and prestige!"

Zhang Da's eyes widened, looking at his third brother, turning back and forth twice, "Tsk Tsk" made two voices and said: "Mother, it's no wonder that people rely on clothes, horses and saddles. Third brother is so worried. Can't ask my wife?!"

The waists of the two of them straightened up, and they were full of energy after eating. They talked endlessly.

The third son said: "If you know that Congwu is so good, you should have come long ago."

... After ten days, the Kaifeng Mansion commanded all the people. The commander did not train the troops, just told everyone to stand in the queue for a while and told them that they were going to Jiangnan Camp.

Tokyo is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they are going to Jiangnan. Everyone is not sure why, but most of them are honest farmers, very obedient, and have food every day, and go wherever they ask.

Soon, something good is coming! Not only take care of the food, but also send money!

One person always has copper coins and a piece of cloth as the "settling-in expenses". The commander said that he could not go home for a while, and went straight to battle after training; he gave everyone a few days to go home and send "settling money", and then set off to the south.

The commander said several times in a row and must come back. Everyone has been registered, and will not obey the military orders within three years. Deserters must be beaten with a rod for fifty and be exiled for three thousand miles!

Taking the delicious food from the court, wanting to run is a felony!

The third child muttered: "Who would like to run, eat dry meals every time, I will not leave..."

A few days later, Zhang Da and the two brothers returned to Zhangzhuang with money, as if they had had a dream! They have not seen each other for more than half a month.

Every household in the village came out to watch, Zhang Da held his head high, and acquaintances babbled and couldn’t answer. He said from time to time, "The emperor sent it." With the words of Taicang, the emperor took it out of his granary..."

When the people heard the emperor's words, they looked at them in awe. The Zhang family brothers became the emperor's guard for a while.

The broken yard of their house was even more crowded. The third child gave the settlement allowance to him in the house|mother, but Zhang Da calmly glanced at the fifth brother, deliberately shaking the copper coins in the money bag in front of everyone. Also opened the cloth bucket to see. He deliberately said loudly again: "The emperor has laid down the imperial decree~www.readwn.com~ We have done our work, and we are not sending cloth, but silk gold and silver!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

As for the risk of hypocrisy, Zhang Da is not aware of it yet, besides, in this village, who knows about the emperor?

Zhang University looked like the generals in the barracks, clasped his fists to the side, and said: "The officials are kind to the generals, do you dare to die?"

An old man in tatters and skinny Zhang, his tone of voice has changed unknowingly when he talks to his neighbors, just like a respected villager. Everyone spoke very politely, one by one.

Zhang Da noticed that the little girls and daughters-in-law who were onlookers in the crowd were blushing when they watched him. After less than half a month, he felt like he was reborn.

...

...

(Sorry everyone, I have been delayed in going out in the past two days, and I have always felt guilty in my heart, alas.)
