Yu Liang returned home and talked about joining the army, but the old lady and his wife were crying, and he almost never got beaten by his father. Later, he said that he was just a military attache, and then I was slightly forgiven.
Then he began to vigorously encourage the villagers to join the army, and tirelessly talked 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 decree.
...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 is having dinner in the yard while discussing what the Yu family has said.
Although it is a yard, there is 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 children are dead, and the one who died in Xiuhuanghe, now there are three other men besides Zhang.
Old man Zhang took a sip of vegetable leaf soup, and said: "Must be free..."
The gray-headed old woman hurriedly said: "If you are going to fight for your life, swords and guns do not have eyes."
The third son: "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 is dressed in tattered clothes, and his head is tied to the top of his head with a twine. He is very thin, but because of his thick bones, he looks very big and burly.
He finished a sea bowl of vegetable soup, leaving a thin layer of rice in the bowl, stood up, and walked to the fifth, who was holding the bowl on the threshold 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: "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 remaining rice into the younger brother’s bowl and smiled: "Half-sized son, just when he can eat. The fifth younger brother is better. I will ask for a wife later. The Zhang Family's incense sticks."
The old fifth wiped his eyes and said: "If I can beg my wife, let her serve the eldest and third brothers too."
When the old woman heard this, she spit, and cursed: "Stupid!"
Zhang Da walked out of the house and hummed: "I go to Shusheng Yu, I go to Cong Wu."
Zhang Sandao: "Brother, I still go, you are good at farming."
Zhang Dadao: "The third child is still young, maybe I can still beg 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 brothers burst into tears.
"Cry a fart!" Zhang Da cursed, "Isn't the second and the fourth buried in this way? They are all dead, so what do they cost?"
Zhang Da talked to his parents, then went out to Yu's house, and the third child followed him involuntarily.
As for Yu Liang's house, he entered the dewafang hall, 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 that job, Yu Shusheng said at the village."
Yu Liangdao: "Join the army?"
"Huh." Zhang Da said from his nose.
Yu Liangdao: "You two brothers in your old Zhang family?"
Zhang Dadao: "I will go, he will come and see."
The third son: "I will go too."
Yu Liang was a little polite, and then asked: "Have you eaten?"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the old man next to him "cough cough" 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."
"Hit it?" 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 does not need to be in service."
The two of them joined the army in a few words, and when they went back to talk about it, the old lady cried again. But the family said that they had become a military citizen, and they did not dare to go back for fear that they would be arrested by the government.
Three days later, Yu Liang had gathered a dozen men and walked to the county with them. A green-robed official received them, and then 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, only the sound of chopsticks colliding with the bowl and the sound of chewing rustling.
Someone ate quickly, holding the bowl and licking the bottom of the bowl after a while.
At this moment, I heard a burst of crying. When everyone turned their heads to look, the third member of the Zhang family cried loudly in Nao. Zhang Da annoyed: "How much are you crying? Ashamed and not ashamed!"
Zhang San choked sobs: "I eat white rice, my parents are drinking vegetable leaf soup..."
Zhang Da looked dimmed for a while, and said: "Hurry up and eat, the food is not the rations at home, so I save them."
Everyone was silent.
The wheat cakes from the county government for a few days are packed in cloth bags! Then Yu Liang and another leading man went all the way to Kaifeng Mansion. The crowd was dull in the first two days. It didn't take long for everyone to feel tired after eating a full meal. The atmosphere became more lively.
As for Daying outside Tokyo, one wheelbarrow on the main road was pushing grain into the camp, and the sack still had the words "Taicang" on it. Seeing so much food, everyone felt more at ease.
The commanding envoy personally received Yu Liang and his dozens of people. They were all young and strong. They were very happy. They immediately appointed Yu Liang as the first commander, the third team, the right group, and the ten generals. How many people fill up a team for him.
Next, a large truck of clothes arrived, and there was a flag on the truck that said: 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 army."
The commander made his face all smiles: "Shen Chen Li Shang Xing is worthy of righteousness and light fortune, and he is a righteous businessman!"
"Where and where." 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 eyes stayed on Zhang Da's tattered clothes, frowning, "Like this kind of clothes, quickly change Throw it away! We are not begging for food!"
Except for clothes, one person and one helmet; no armor and no weapons.
When everyone took 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. Grey linen, strong and flat, well-made, dense and neatly stitched. 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 smiled and said: "I heard that the clothes made by Shen Chen Li were all the clothes of high-ranking officials and nobles. The things they made are really serious! Might and prestige!"
Zhang Da widened his eyes, looked at his third brother, turned back and forth twice, "tsk tsk" and said in two voices: "Mother, it's no wonder that people rely on clothes and horses and saddles. Third brother is so different. Why can't I 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."
... Ten days later, the Kaifeng Mansion commanded all the recruits. The commander did not train troops, just told everyone to stand in the queue for a while and tell them that they were going to Jiangnan Camp.
Tokyo is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they are going to Jiangnan. Everyone doesn't know why, but most of them are honest farmers, very obedient. They have food every day, and go wherever they are.
Soon, good things are coming! Not only take care of the food, but also pay back!
One person always pays a piece of cloth as a "settling-in fee." The commander said that he could not go home for a while, and went straight to battle after the training; he gave everyone a few days to go home to send "settling money", and then went 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 to three thousand miles!
Taking the court’s delicious food, wanting to run is a felony!
The third child below muttered: "Whoever wants to run, eat dry meals every time, I will not leave..."
A few days later, Zhang Da and his two brothers returned to Zhangzhuang with money, as if they had had a dream! Not seeing them for more than half a month, they changed their bodies and "returned to their hometown".
Every household in the village came out to watch, Zhang Da held his head high, and was babbled by acquaintances, but couldn't answer, and said from time to time: "The emperor's." It says Taicang, which the emperor took from his own granary......"
When the people heard the emperor's words, they looked at them in awe. The Zhang family brothers became the emperor's guards.
The broken yard of their house is even more crowded. The third child gave the settlement allowance to him in the house, but Zhang Da calmly glanced at the fifth younger brother, deliberately shaking the copper coins in the money bag in front of everyone. Also opened the cloth bucket. He deliberately said loudly: "The emperor has made the imperial decree, and we have done the work, but it is not cloth, but silk and 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 military camp, clasped his fists to the side, and said: "The officials treat the generals kindly, do you dare to die?"
The old man Zhang, who is in a tattered and scrawny body, has changed his tone 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 daughter-in-law in the crowd was blushing when they looked at him. After less than half a month, he felt like he was reborn.

(Sorry everyone, I have been delayed in going out these two days, and I have been feeling guilty, alas.)
