Chapter 114 Recruitment Essay
August NO.20, today is a very important day for Biancheng County, because today is the day for Biancheng County to recruit soldiers.

On August 19th, the second day after Zhang Tie left Biancheng County, Zhang Shun issued an order to recruit soldiers and spread it throughout Biancheng County.

[Recently, in Biancheng County, there are bandits doing evil inside, and barbarians outside harassing the border. However, the county magistrate Mr. Zhang has eliminated the bandits within ten days of his tenure, but there are still foreign enemies around, threatening the safety of the county people, so a list is set up here to recruit soldiers.

All the strong men in Wang County will defend the enemy with us outside the gate, so that the wives and children in the family can farm with peace of mind during the day and sleep with peace of mind at night.

Defending the family, defending the country, making contributions and making achievements, that's what a good man should do!
Today, six hundred soldiers are recruited, with monthly rations of one tael of silver, some rice noodles, and monthly silver of two taels in wartime, and another reward for killing the enemy.

The recruiting place is outside the north gate, and the time is [-] to [-] days.

Biancheng County Lieutenant Liu Yishi]

Whether it is in the county or in the countryside, Zhang Shun specially sent people to convey it.The content conveyed is naturally different from the solicitation of essays. They are all in vernacular, and what is needed is for the common people to understand.

"The current situation is not peaceful. There are wicked people and bandits working together to do evil inside. There are Mongolians and Koreans outside who are stalking us. They are eager to cut off a piece of flesh from us."

"Although the bandits in the county have all been wiped out, we can't let our guard down. There are two wolves outside the country drooling, watching us from the sidelines, and coming to bite us at any time and eat our flesh! Drink our blood!"

"For this reason, the magistrate of this county, Mr. Zhang, together with the county lieutenant, Mr. Liu, issued an official document to recruit soldiers to resist foreign enemies outside the gate, defend the border county, and protect their families."

"All recruited soldiers will receive one tael of silver per month, which will be doubled during the war. Now the first month will be issued once in the first month, and the silver tael will be issued every three months thereafter. Anyone who is injured and can no longer fight will be given two taels of silver. Those who died in battle will be given two taels of silver. Three taels of silver for his family members."

"The application date starts on August No. 20 and ends on August No. 30. The application location is outside the north gate of Biancheng County."

An official document instantly caused a storm. The entire Border City County, whether in the streets or in the countryside, was discussing the draft official document.

Beside the well, two men were fetching water while discussing the recruitment documents issued by the county magistrate.

The person holding the water asked the person waiting, "Xiao Ming, what do you think about tomorrow's conscription? Are you going to participate?"

Xiao Ming replied helplessly: "My, hey, I am the only seedling in my family now. My eldest brother and second brother have been killed one after another, and I have no children under my knees. I really want to go, but my mother will definitely not let me go." If you want to go, you have to leave some kindling for the family first."

The man who fetched water nodded understandingly. He also understood the situation of Xiao Ming's family. In this worldview where there are three ways of filial piety and no offspring is the greatest, Xiao Ming's situation is still present in Biancheng County.

"I won't say much about your family's situation. Hey, every family has sutras that are difficult to recite."

"Brother Wansan, will you participate in this conscription?"

Wan San replied affirmatively: "Of course, the county magistrate has paid so much to us now, and it's time for me to repay him."

Wan San had an expression of admiration, and Xiao Ming, who was carrying the bucket, also had an expression of agreement and admiration.

The matter of exterminating bandits made people in Biancheng County very supportive of Zhang Shun, as long as it was within their ability, they would do it.

The conversation between the two people next to the well was like a microcosm of this Biancheng County. Everyone wanted to contribute to Biancheng County and contribute to the newly appointed county magistrate Zhang Shun.

And on this day, outside the north gate of Biancheng County, a group of soldiers were cutting down trees and bulldozing some raised rocks and soil. Some soldiers were carrying wood. Under the guidance of several craftsmen, they placed The ground was bulldozed.

This place is officially the place where soldiers will be recruited tomorrow. What these soldiers are doing now is to build a new stronghold on this land.

One is used to drill recruits, so that recruits who have just become soldiers are familiar with some basic military knowledge, the focus is on obeying orders and explaining military regulations.

Second, it is used to prepare in advance for the construction of factories in the future.At the same time defend against foreign enemies.

Speaking of soldiers, I have to say one thing. After Zhang Shun blessed the soldiers, not only the attributes of the soldiers were improved, but also some basic common sense that soldiers should have in their minds.

Don't think it's nothing. You must know that among the soldiers in Biancheng County now, except for the North Gate Barracks, the soldiers in the other three barracks don't have the basic common sense that soldiers should have at all.

These basic common sense will make it easier for Yan Beichen to train soldiers, and the soldiers will more clearly carry out the tasks given by their superiors when receiving orders.

With the help of a group of soldiers whose attributes were two or three times higher than that of ordinary people, the entire stronghold took shape at a rapid speed. By evening, the general shape of the entire stronghold had been completed and could be used tomorrow.

As for the subsequent detailed work, it was beyond the capabilities of this group of soldiers. Although they had a lot of strength, they were still novices in terms of craftsmanship, and the details were still handled by craftsmen.

In the early morning of August [-]th, when the sky was still slightly bright, some civilians began to appear outside the north gate of Biancheng County. They all surrounded the newly built stronghold and looked at the newly built stronghold.

When the city gate opened, the north gate of the entire Biancheng County was already full of people. Almost the entire Biancheng County, nearly 3000 people came here, some of them responded to the call-up order, and some came to watch and watch of the masses.

The entire Biancheng County became more lively due to the recruitment of soldiers. The grocery stores in the county were sold out by many people as soon as they opened, and the surrounding shops were also full of people.

When the time came to Chenshi, Zhang Shun and Liu Yi led Yan Beichen and others from the county government to the outside of the newly built stronghold. The civilians along the way consciously gave way to let Zhang Shun and others pass. At the same time, they all looked at Zhang Tie on the horse with respect and gratitude.

Now Zhang Tie and Liu Yi are both wearing very formal attire—official uniform, riding on a white horse and a gray war horse respectively, smiling at the civilians on both sides of the street.

Behind him were Yan Beichen, Zhang Sanfeng, and Qiao Shan, and behind them were Wei Yan and other eighty soldiers, all of whom were recruited by Zhang Tie himself.

On the far left, Yan Beichen is wearing a white armor, holding a silver-white gentian, and is also riding a white war horse. This white equipment, and Yan Beichen's appearance itself is not a little boy, but it is also long. Very handsome, with the addition of this equipment, he looks even more handsome.

This white war horse was the only one of the two white horses captured among the many bandits. The other horse was naturally the horse Zhang Shun sat on.

Zhang Sanfeng in the middle is wearing a blue battle armor, holding a Yanyue knife in one hand, and holding a horse rope in the other, driving a gray horse to follow behind Zhang Shun.

The cyan battle armor is exactly the Shu Kingdom battle armor that Zhang Tie was tricked into. Under Zhang Sanfeng's beating day and night, it was miraculously 'repaired'.

On the far right is Qiao Shan in a long gown with a sword hanging from his waist, riding on a horse with his head held high and his chest held high, with a vague smile on his lips.

Behind them were Wei Yan and others. The horses of the same color, the same clothes, the same weapons, and the same pace completely shocked everyone present.

"This army is the Tsing Yi Army that wiped out bandits in the county!"

The Tsing Yi Army is what the civilians call Wei Yan and others in private, and it means the army of Lord Qingtian.

The bandits, on the other hand, were called the devil army of Wei Yan and others.

A group of nearly 90 people, [-] horses, and the chilling aura that came to their faces were all shocking. The civilians in Biancheng County had never seen such an elite army. This kind of aura was something they had never seen before.
