Seiwa

A few days later, Meng Qinghe approached the middleman again, and successfully released a message through the middleman's mouth. The reason why Meng Twelve Lang wanted to sell his house and land was to abandon his pen and join the army, and go to the land of Saibei to avenge his father and brother!

Meng Twelve Lang wants to join the army?

As soon as the news came out, it was like pouring hot oil into cold water, and Mengjiazhuang exploded with a bang.Even the woman who went to the well to fetch water and the farmer who went to the field to plow the fields said the same thing.

Within a few days, there were rumors in several nearby villages.

"Meng Twelve Lang really wants to join the army?"

"Is it true? I heard it with my own ears."

"Could it be that you are stupid, you can farm without studying, and you can become a killer if you don't plant a good field."

A few farmers were talking vigorously, when another voice came in, "Farming? You have to have a field to grow."

"How do you say that?" A farmer put down his hoe and rubbed his ears, "Both Meng Lao Liu and his two sons are capable, so they can't have nothing left, right?"

"I heard," the interjecting farmer squatted by the field, beckoning them to come closer, and deliberately lowered his voice, "Meng Guangxiao is not kind. He took advantage of the catastrophe Meng Guangzhi and Hachiro Jiulang were in to bully the orphans and widows, and conspired to seize the house and property." , forcing Twelve Lang's family to have nowhere to go. Didn't Twelve Lang get kicked out of school at the beginning, didn't they all say it was strange? He was admitted as a child student at the age of 13. He could have been a scholar with Meng Dalang, but now there is no hope. Twelve Lang If you want to join the army, it’s probably because of this, there’s no way out.”

"Ah?! Are you serious? Wang Laosan, don't talk nonsense."

"How can you say that Meng Guangxiao is also the patriarch of the Meng family, and he and Meng Guangzhi are cousins ​​who have not been out of the fifth service. How can he do such a thing?"

"There can be fakes? Don't believe it, it's not just Meng Guangxiao, even Meng Guangshun and Meng Guangming are not clean, they joined forces to calculate the family property of the cousin. More than half of the 60 acres of land sold by the Twelve Lang's family were Shangtian, don't Let’s talk about three funerals, even thirty. Let’s see what happened to Meng Guangzhi, father and son, and what kind of life Twelfth Lang’s family is living now.”

After speaking, everyone felt that it was reasonable.To take care of the widowed mother and take care of the two widowed sisters-in-law, the property and housing cannot be kept, the imperial examination is hopeless, and there is no skill to go with it. Joining the army, even if it is to go to the frontier to farm, is at least a way out.

Thinking about it this way, it made sense for Meng Twelve Lang to join the army.

Everyone in the world loves to gossip, gossip, gossip, and the reputation of Meng Guangxiao and others is getting worse and worse. Meng Qinghai in school was also questioned by his classmates. At least he took the scholar's face into consideration and didn't embarrass him face to face.

However, Meng Qinghai didn't seem to be affected, he devoted himself to his studies all day long, and devoted himself to preparing for the college examination in a few months.This move reduced the rumors around him a lot, and by accident, he even got the favor of the county school's instructors, saying bluntly that this son does not panic when encountering problems, calm and composed, this kind of bearing is rare, and he will become a great weapon in the future .On the contrary, he treated Meng Qinghe, whom he had never met before, a little bit badly.

"Rumors are not true. A child who was driven out of school has a character."

Knowing this, Meng Qinghe just smiled indifferently, not to mention the teachings of the county schools, even the teachings of the county schools, the professors of the state schools, and the professors of the prefectural schools have nothing to do with him.He really hoped that Meng Qinghai could pass the examination as a scholar, that way he would have more fun.

The days passed and the rumors showed no signs of subsiding.

Meng Qinghai was able to keep his composure, and people who had nothing to do with him could be used as a source of conversation after dinner, but the members of the Meng clan who were involved were anxious.

After learning that Meng Qinghe was indeed going to join the army, Meng Guangxiao couldn't sit still at all, or it should be said that anyone who could be related to Meng Qinghe couldn't sit still.

Twelve Lang really wants to join the army?This is not bad!He became a military household, and more than one family was troubled!

After the mid-Ming Ming Dynasty, the system of recruiting troops was established, and the guard system in various places in the early Ming Dynasty had not yet collapsed, and most of the military households were hereditary.

Once enrolled in the military, they are military households for generations, fathers die and sons succeed, brothers end up with brothers until the family dies.If you want to get rid of your nationality, unless the emperor gives grace and the court orders, or the children in the family work hard to become stronger, from officials to the Minister of the Ministry of War, sweep away all professional backgrounds with a fearless spirit, and become the Minister of Defense of the Ming Dynasty.

In contrast, the latter is less feasible, especially for the grassroots, it is simply an impossible task.

Of course, Emperor Hongwu is also a grassroots, but this grassroots is not that grassroots, as long as he knows it personally.

What's even more deceptive is that as long as a military household dies or escapes, the vacated position must be replaced by a relative.It doesn't matter whether it's managing the ancestral business or stacking and collecting, and it doesn't matter whether it's a regular household or a subsidized household. In short, it's a radish and a hole until it is filled.

Empty pay?From Hongwu to Yongle, this move is no different from courting death.

Adopted son to replace?In the early Ming Dynasty when monks had to check their household registration and strictly limited their age, it was even more unnecessary to think about it.

Meng Qing has nothing to do with selling fields and houses, and it's okay to leave Mengjiatun with his mother and sister-in-law. If he wants to join the army, it will be very bad.

With Meng Twelve Lang's innate conditions, let alone going into battle to kill the enemy, he might not even be able to lift his waist knife.After entering the army, it is thankful that I can survive a year.

It doesn't matter if he is dead, Meng Guangzhi doesn't have any other males in this branch, and the ones left by Hachiro and Jiulang are all girls, who will be found for the recruitment of military status?Meng Guangxiao and others were the first to bear the brunt.

Once someone was sent to the door, it would be useless for Meng Dalang to pass the examination as a scholar.

Meng Guangxiao was in a hurry, he could not care about his own reputation, but he couldn't care less about his son's future.Meng Qinghe has become a military household, and his family will be in trouble.If you can escape the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day, there will be a day when Dalang's imperial examination path will be completely blocked.

The more he thought about it, the more he lost his mind, and finally found Meng Qinghe's house again, not to mention his sincere attitude, and even specially put on a sackcloth over the padded jacket.

Meng Qinghe bowed his hands in salute, and tugged the corner of his mouth with his long hair hanging down.

Family card?Who is the fool?

"Nephew, don't be impulsive, at least think about your mother."

Meng Qinghe's expression was resolute, full of scholarly spirit, "Lord Uncle, both my father and brother died at the hands of the Tartars, and even the bones were not recovered. I will not take revenge for this revenge!"

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Meng Guangxiao's forehead, "Nephew, Tartars are not easy to kill. Listen to my cousin's advice, the land and the house are the foundation of a family's life, so don't sell them. Don't even think about joining the army." , An Sheng is farming at home and wants to continue studying, and my cousin will also find a way for you. Guangzhiquan knows, and he certainly doesn't want you to be arrogant."

"How about the second cousin's money and food?"

"It doesn't matter, I'll talk about it!" Meng Guangxiao hastily said, "They are all relatives, so we have to take care of them."

Seeing that Meng Qinghe didn't speak for a long time, Meng Guangxiao thought that there was something to be said, but he didn't want Meng Qinghe's next few words to make him lose his temper, and he didn't recover for a long time.

"Thank you for the kindness of the hall uncle. A man can never change his words easily. What's more, people can't stand without trust. My cousin cares about family affection, but my nephew doesn't want to embarrass my uncle. The middle-aged man has been found, and I will return the uncles." For money and food, my nephew went to join the army."

"Nephew, listen to what my cousin has to say."

"Boss don't need to persuade me anymore, my nephew has made up his mind, and he won't regret it even if he dies!"

"Nephew, think again."

"Don't think about it," Meng Qinghe waved his hand, with an awe-inspiring look, "If one person joins the army, the whole family... No, the whole family is honored!"

Glorious X!

Meng Guangxiao stopped sweating, he started to cry, a fool is unreasonable, let alone unable to communicate.He was in a daze at the beginning, that's why he thought the fool was "good".

Seeing that Meng Guangxiao wanted to persuade him again, Meng Qinghe simply tore open his shirt, his eyebrows were erected, and his face was full of ferocity, "Whoever prevents my nephew from selling fields and houses is preventing my nephew from joining the army, whoever prevents my nephew from joining the army is preventing my nephew from avenging my father and brother , Trapped my nephew for being unfilial and unrighteous! I am my nephew's sworn enemy! My nephew is willing to fight with his life! My nephew is not talented, even though he can't wield a hatchet, a kitchen knife is still fine."

"Nephew, you will pay for your life if you kill someone..."

"You don't have to worry, Boss." Meng Qinghe bared his teeth with disheveled hair, turned around and took out a large tome, which was the "Yuzhi Dabao" personally ordered by Emperor Hongwu. "Great Patent"! There is an order from the imperial court, and anyone who has a great legal order in his family will be punished by a lower class. My nephew is fighting for his life, and his head is not hindered. At most, he will be exiled to the army. If he is exiled, he will save the trouble on the road."

While talking, he weighed the weight of the big letter, and compared it with Meng Guangxiao's head, he was eager to try it.

He is a fool, and what a fool does cannot be measured by common sense.

Looking at Meng Qinghe, who was holding a big certificate in his hand, with a thousand streaks of auspiciousness, Meng Guangxiao's lips trembled twice, he didn't catch his breath, rolled his eyelids, and passed out successfully.

Before falling to the ground, two words with epoch-making significance spit out from his mouth: I X!
