Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Centurion Cao Lianwang personally led his troops and took away all the registered military households in Hongliutun except Zhang Liao.

He came and went in a hurry, without even a formal document.

Zhang Liao looked worriedly at the family members of the garrison troops who were blocking the door of their home, crying and cursing.

Cao Lianwang was definitely abusing his power for personal gain and making things difficult for him. How could he recruit soldiers in the middle of winter? Besides, all the military households over the age of 15 in Hongliutun had been taken away. Where the hell was he going to find people?

When the thief took his men away, he gave a death order that if no soldiers could be recruited, he and his family would be exiled to the northwest. Everyone knew that there was a war going on there. Cao Lianwang wanted to kill his entire family!

No, I have to find out what happened!

……

In the meeting room, everyone looked at Shen Lanxi with strange eyes.

Did she know something, so she used the funeral as an excuse to give a formality to the military households stationed there?

Generally speaking, this kind of transfer of military households must be because there is a war going on somewhere, and they are sent to the station to fight!

"I called you here today to discuss recruiting soldiers!"

Liu Yan replied: "My Lord, how about I go to the county and buy some food now?"

Suddenly, the recruits were in a panic, as if something was out of control. At this time, they were not panicked because they had money and food in their hands!

Shen Lanxi: "Don't worry, you can't buy it even if you go to the county now!"

Wei Dongzhu: "The local barracks must have purchased food and fodder in advance!" Even if there is high-priced food, it will take a few days!

Cheng Zheng wrote: "Maybe it has something to do with the Queen Mother!"

Sang Guo: "Maybe it's related to the King of the Northwest!"

The other students all meant the same thing: someone is rebelling!

Wei Dongzhu also agreed: "It can't be the northwest, there is the Northern Expedition Army stationed there. Even if they want to withdraw troops, it won't be Dongchuan's turn to withdraw them!"

Liu Yanhui hesitated for a moment and said, "I think we should take precautions in advance and prepare enough food for the winter."

Shen Lanxi: "What you said makes sense, but no one hits the point!"

Everyone: "..."

"I want to join the army, what do you think?"

Several people expressed shock!

"My lord, are you sure?" Liu Yanhui swallowed hard.

Shen Lanxi looked at him: "Sure!"

"But... you are a woman!" Liu Yan's reply was what everyone present was thinking!

Shen Lanxi saw their shock and said indifferently, "In the past, we didn't recruit soldiers under the age of fifteen or over the age of fifty!"

Everyone was startled.

The recruitment order that Cao Lianwang left behind when he left clearly stated that special recruiting would be allowed, that if an exiled person joined the army, his entire family could be released from military membership, that prisoners who joined the army could be changed to military households, and that civilians who joined the army could each receive 20 taels of silver as a resettlement allowance. Regardless of their background or status, anyone who was willing to serve could enjoy the treatment of an ordinary soldier, be rewarded according to their merits, and be granted a title of nobility or a position as prime minister!

"Why is the imperial court so anxious to recruit soldiers?" Liu Yanhui murmured, the bad premonition in her heart becoming stronger and stronger!

Shen Lanxi glanced at everyone with her eagle eyes: "I want to join the army, are you willing to follow me?"

Several people hurriedly stood up and saluted: "We are willing to follow!"

Shen Lanxi looked at Shen Yuanjing at the back: "What about you?"

Shen Yuanjing was so shocked that his mind was completely paralyzed. When he saw everyone expressing their opinions, he quickly stood up and said, "I am willing to join the army, too!"

Shen Lanxi: "Go home and discuss it with your family. We will only wait for you for half an hour!"

When Shen Yuanjing heard the time limit, he ran towards home!

Shen Lanxi tapped the table lightly and continued to arrange the next matters!

"Master Hu's family, Shi Da and his four companions, follow me to join the army."

"Liu Yan will be in charge of the rear. After we gain a firm foothold, we will bring you, Cheng Zheng and others in!"

Wei Dongzhu said: "Xiao Fang and his nephew may also be willing to join the army with us."

Shen Lanxi: "Go ask them. The list must be finalized within an hour!"

"Yes!"

In addition to them, Feng Wu and six secret guards were also included in the list.

Shen family

"No, I don't agree!" When Shen Congwen heard that his son was going to join the army, he was the first to stand up and stop him!

"Yuan Jing, we have granted amnesty now. After the spring, perhaps we can return to the capital. Kid, don't make trouble!" Shen Conglian also followed suit to dissuade him!

Shen Yuanjing shook his head: "Father, uncle, don't think about it. Even if we are pardoned, we can't go back to the capital!"

Shen Yuanxu also stood up.

"Father, I think joining the army is a great opportunity for our Shen family!"

Mrs. Liu didn't want to listen to her son's nonsense. No one knows a son better than his mother. From what her son said, she knew that he must want to join the army.

"Yuan Xu, swords have no eyes on the battlefield. This is not a child's game. Don't talk nonsense!"

Shen Yuanjing's ideas coincided with Shen Yuanxu's, and Shen Yuanjing knew more after listening to several meetings!

"Grandfather and grandmother, I have a question for you. The Wei army's food and money were stolen, and our family was sentenced to exile. Is this too light or too heavy a punishment?"

Of course it was an exaggeration. The fact that the Wei family army was completely annihilated was enough for them to take hundreds of heads home!

"With the passing of the Queen Mother, we have lost one more person to protect our Shen family. Although the Northern Expedition Army has already gone to fight, the number of civilians killed and injured, as well as the manpower and money spent, is innumerable. There is no guarantee that someone will not bring up the issue of stolen food and money again and take the opportunity to punish us severely!"

The Shen family was silent!

Shen Yuanjing continued to add: "When we were in the capital, there were quite a few people who disliked our Shen family!"

Shen Congwen wanted to interrupt several times, but the words were on the tip of his tongue but he was too weak to say them.

Because what my son said is true!

"Grandma, grandma, father, uncles, aunts, I am joining the army to seek a glimmer of hope for our Shen family!"

Don't think that if they hide in Dongchuan, no one will deal with them. All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects. Even if they are exiled to the ends of the earth, just one sentence like the above can destroy their entire family!

"My grandson, he is both wise and brave, courageous and resourceful..." Old Madam Shen covered her face and cried bitterly!

"Is there no other way? Perhaps the higher-ups have forgotten about us? Doesn't His Majesty still protect us?" Miao murmured in despair.

Shen Yuanjing was anxious, as his elder sister didn't give him much time!

"Grandpa, grandma, and father, please make a decision as soon as possible. If we miss the deadline, I'm afraid our family will be drafted into the army!"

The Shen family was terrified after hearing the words "conscripting men"!

"How could that be? We are civilians!"

Shen Yuanjing ruthlessly shattered their fantasies.

"The men we are conscripting are civilians. We should make a decision early while we still have money to settle down!"

The Liu, Miao and Tian families originally thought that if Shen Yuanjing wanted to go, he could go by himself, since they would not allow their son to go anyway.

Now when they heard Shen Yuanjing say that he would conscript men, they began to panic.

"I heard from my elder sister that the court is very urgent this time. A family may capture more than one able-bodied man. It is very likely that all males over the age of fifteen will be captured!"
