Chapter VI Conscription(1/2)
A pile of iron slag can be made into fine iron, but if a pile of human scum can do the same, it would go beyond the laws of nature. Faced with Guo Wei's question, Xu Xian replied happily: "No!"
Guo Wei frowned and asked, "Why?"
Xu Xian pointed outward, "Your Majesty, look at their appearance. They are all guarding the door for you now, and they are still staggering one by one. I have no doubts about their fighting power and loyalty to you. If there are assassins
When you come, they will stand up and stand in front of you. But something has soaked into their bones and cannot be erased."
Although Xu Xian did not explain it directly, Guo Wei, who was born as a soldier, knew best what Xu Xian was referring to. He only said: "It seems that you can only draw on white paper."
"Your Majesty is wise! It is best to be a loyal and responsible farmer's boy."
Guo Wei sneered and said, "How can a loyal and honest peasant be willing to join the army? I have already failed the people inside Bianliang City, and I don't want to fail the people outside the city again."
The reputation of the military master is too bad. Except for the young men in the army or the local gangsters who recruit refugees, the loyal peasants would rather be thieves than join the army unless they are forced to recruit young men.
"It doesn't mean you have to be a farmer, as long as you haven't been in the military!"
Old Mutou snorted coldly, "How disdainful are the people in our army to you."
"Old Mutou, don't interrupt!" Guo Wei looked at Xu Xian and said, "Then you go recruit a hundred people and teach them your physical training method, and let them guard the gate for me and be more energetic. If you can train them
Once you have practiced well, I will promote you to the position of team leader!"
Xu Xian did not think that Guo Wei recruited people just for guarding purposes. As an emperor who was born as a pawn, he must have seen the benefits of the so-called physical training method for training soldiers. After all, it was originally used to train new soldiers in future generations.
If Guo Weiruo is satisfied, he may promote it in the army. This is definitely a good thing. The tragic situation of the insurgents entering the city is vivid in his mind. If possible, Xu Xian does not want such a thing to happen again in Bianliang City.
Although Xu Xian just wanted to live peacefully in this troubled world and become rich in the future through the support of the old Zhao family, he still had passion in his heart, otherwise he would not have been so angry that day that he killed the two Tianxiong soldiers who had insulted a good family woman.
In the evening, when he returned to the restaurant, there were already customers in twos and threes in the hall. When they saw Xu Xian, wearing a neat armor, entering the restaurant, everyone stopped and stared, fearing that he would suddenly draw a knife.
.
Xu Xian quickly cupped his hands and showed the warmest smile, "Don't be surprised, everyone, I am the shopkeeper of this shop..."
As soon as he finished speaking, several diners dropped their coins and ran away. There was also a woman whose clothes got caught on a nail on the table. She couldn't take them off or walk away, so she almost burst into tears.
"Sister-in-law! Let me help you..."
Just as Xu Xian was about to step forward to help, the woman fainted with a scream and fell directly on Xu Xian. A man who had already escaped turned around and came back, stood at the door timidly and said: "The villain's wife
She is already three months pregnant, please let her go."
What the hell is this? Who am I to take a fancy to your sallow-faced and skinny mother-in-law? If I can, I will make my own mother-in-law fatter.
Aunt Liu slapped Xu Xian hard on the back, "How many times have I told you not to come to the store wearing armor!" Jiubao and Dakui also complained, saying that it was not easy for several customers to come.
He was scared away.
Xu Xian was depressed. He could also blame me for this. If your father, brother and uncle hadn't burned, killed and looted in Bianliang City, they would all have suffered from post-traumatic syndrome.
A teasing chuckle suddenly sounded in his ears. Xu Xian turned around and saw Feng Dao and his old servant sitting in a corner of the hall, eating and drinking.
Jiubao quit immediately, stepped forward and slapped his table and shouted: "All the customers in our store have run away, what's so funny about it."
"Isn't I a guest?" Feng Dao was not angry and tapped Jiubao with his hand, "Brother, yelling and screaming is not the way to treat guests. Go and get me another pot of tea!"
Jiubao snorted, picked up the teapot on the table and turned to go to the kitchen. Xu Xian stepped forward and asked softly: "Why did the Grand Master come to the shop again? Isn't it enough to eat for free once?"
"Do you know my nickname? Changle Lao!" Feng Dao stroked his beard and said: "I call myself Changle Lao, and your place is called Changle Tower. The two complement each other. It doesn't matter if others don't come, but I can't help but come. I have won the throne.
With the reward, I already have money in my pocket."
"Then I have nothing to say. Just say hello to me if you want anything. I will definitely serve you to your satisfaction."
Xu Xiangong returned to the counter, took out a pen and paper and started writing the recruitment list. Unexpectedly, Guo Wei trusted him so much that he would handle all the recruitment of soldiers. This is reasonable.
It is estimated that the Privy Council will not take it to heart. By the time they complete the process, Guo Wei may have died.
Xu Xian finished one piece of dry ink and put it aside, then started writing another one. Tomorrow he would take it to the Privy Council and ask Wei Renpu to stamp it and then post it.
"Recruitment notice?" Feng Dao came over at some point, took one and looked at it carefully, "Did the emperor ask you to do it?"
"Of course, if it weren't for the emperor's decree, how could I dare to recruit soldiers privately? I think my life is too long."
Feng Dao looked at Xu Xian with a playful look, "Could it be that you proposed to the emperor to train the so-called heavenly soldiers with loyalty, justice and shame?"
"That's not true, it's just recruiting a few gatekeepers in front of the palace."
"I thought I was so easy to coax. The guards in front of the palace must be the emperor's old Yuan Cong subordinates and are in charge of his cronies. How could they recruit new soldiers? Don't worry, I won't ruin your business. On the contrary, I really want to see what you can do.
Come."
Dakui heard the sound and suddenly came up to him, "Brother Xian, what did you just say about recruiting soldiers in front of the palace?"
"Nothing, just recruiting some palace guards according to the order."
As soon as Xu Xian's words left his mouth, Da Kui shouted, "Jiubao, come here quickly, brother Xian has been ordered to recruit guards in front of the palace!"
Jiubao and Xiaozi rushed over immediately, "Brother Xian, is what Dakui said true?"
Xu Xian stopped writing and replied: "Yes! Is it possible that you also want to come? No, no, you should stay in the Guardian Army. It is not that easy to be a guard in front of the palace."
"What's wrong with you? You told me you're just guarding the emperor's door, right? Son of a bitch, go and tell the iron shop to find Muggle and Liang, and see if he dares to agree."
Xiao Zi not only notified A Liang and Muggles, but also quickly spread the news throughout Liuhe Bay. As soon as Xu Xian returned home, women came to the door one after another with their babies, insisting that Xu Xian accept them.
.
Xu Xian already had a target in mind, which was a strong man between twenty and twenty-five years old. Most of the young men who stayed in Liuhe Bay and had not yet joined the army did not meet the conditions.
Dakui and A Liang, who are tall and strong, can barely pass the test, and the rest are just babies who haven't grown up in Xu Xian's eyes. Even Xu Xian, like Jiubao, who practices martial arts at home every day, can't accept it, let alone
Not to mention those who still have thorns in their heads and runny noses.
Xu Xian couldn't understand why he was so enthusiastic during the stock raising despite pushing back and recruiting soldiers. After careful questioning, he realized that he was thinking that there was no risk in front of the palace and wanted his children to eat the imperial food for a few more years.
If there are advantages, take advantage of them, regardless of whether you have such a big appetite or not. This mentality makes Xu Xian say what is good, but when he thinks about it, there are many such people in the 21st century, and he is relieved.
Thanks to Lao Zhang who coaxed everyone away, Xu Xian finally found a clean slate. A Liang and Da Kui couldn't be pushed away. Even if Xu Xian didn't accept them, they would have to enlist in the army next month, and he wouldn't be able to do it without a confidant by then.
.
After leaving, Lao Zhang turned around and came back. He pushed Jiubao in front of Xu Xian, with a posture of fighting for his life if you don't accept it. Xu Xian had too much affection for Lao Zhang and there was nothing he could do.
As soon as Lao Zhang left, Aunt Huang came back with the Muggles and knelt down when she came up, "The men in my family died early, and this is the only son left. The army will not accept him. Brother Xian, you are just and give it to the Muggles."
A way to survive."
If he takes in Muggles, he will have no way out. I can't imagine what Guo Wei will be like when he passes by the door and Muggles laugh and tell him that they want to chop off his head.
Really unable to withstand Aunt Huang's cries and begging, Xu Xian had no choice but to temporarily accept him and find an excuse to eliminate him during training. Aunt Huang could not say anything. In the future, when her business grew, she was afraid that Muggles would not be able to eat.
.
The next day, Xu Xian took the written recruitment list to the Privy Council and asked Wei Renpu to have it stamped. Guo Wei seemed to have explained it to him, and there were no obstacles in the process.
He asked A Liang and Dakui to post notices everywhere in Bianliang City, and then found a conspicuous place in Yujie to set up a table and prepare to accept people.
Xu Xian originally thought that the reputation of Master Bing was too bad, especially since the city had just been plundered by rioters and it would be difficult to recruit soldiers. Unexpectedly, less than half a cup of tea after sitting down, someone was already looking for him with the application list.
The man who came was a strong man who looked to be in his early twenties, but had a thick beard under his chin. His short brown hair was oily and had not been washed for an unknown period of time. He asked, "This is what you posted."
?”
"That's what we posted. Are you going to join the army?"
"That's right, I want to be a soldier!" The young man patted his chest vigorously, trying to prove to Xu Xian that he was strong, "I have a strong body and often use a sword. I have killed not only 1,000 but also 800 men."
!”
After hearing this, Jiubao immediately drew the knife nervously. Xu Xian held down his hand and said to the young man, "Are you a bandit?"
The young man shook his head and said, "I am a butcher who kills pigs!"
Jiubao immediately scolded: "You are a pig butcher, how can you show off? Killing people is not the same as killing pigs!"
"What's the difference? The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out! Master Jun, just accept me!"
"Okay!" Xu Xian immediately took a pen and paper to register him, "What's your name? How old are you? Where do you live?"
"My name is Luo Fubang. I am twenty-one years old this year. I live at the south dock of the city."
"Why do you want to be a soldier?"
"Actually, I have wanted to be a soldier for a long time, but I didn't want to. He died last year and can no longer control me."
With such a strong desire to join the army, a strong body, and a good name, Xu Xian made up his mind to recruit him, "I'm asking you what is your original intention of joining the army?"
Luo Fubang raised his head and chest and replied: "Revival of the Tang Dynasty!"
Don't be surprised. Before Shi Jingtang ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and established the Later Jin Dynasty, unifying the world and reorganizing the Tang Dynasty had always been the mainstream of public opinion.
Even after thousands of years, there are countless Chinese fans and Tang fans in later generations. As the fifth generation of the continuation of Tang civilization, it is normal to have Tang fans. Xu Xian roughly checked his body and accepted him after knowing that he did not have night blindness or flat feet.
, and asked him to post the article back again. I was up half the night and wrote the article. Is it easy?
As soon as Luo Fubang left, a scholar came up behind him. He had messy hair, black eyes, thin cheeks and a slender mustache on his lips. He was wearing a tattered Confucian robe. He was a little older, probably.
He is nearly thirty years old.
Xu Xian was overjoyed. He really hoped to have a real scholar to act as an instructor to educate the soldiers. For this reason, he clearly wrote this article in the list and relaxed the conditions, but he did not have much hope. He did not expect that
Here comes one.
