Li Erwa stayed in Shejini Village for three days and left.

Before leaving, he secretly said to Zhang Laoqi: "Laoqi, tell you something, my eldest son told me about this matter, don't tell others"

"What's the matter?"

"My country seems to be going to fight again and is preparing to increase its troops. In the past five years, it has brought a large number of immigrants from the Far East, with at least 500,000 households and two or three million people, and at least 100,000 suitable for military service"

"In the past, our country recruited soldiers from children who went to school. This time it was different. We were preparing to choose from militias among immigrants. This time we did not serve in the army for a long time, and we could be discharged from the army in two or three years."

"Chaolu has now started to secretly select in Khwalensk County. At the beginning, he only selected the household registration book and militia registration book, and was preparing to conduct preliminary selection at homes under thirty years old and more labor-intensive."

"You know, our country takes great care of the soldiers. Our country has a strong military strength and very little casualties in every war. Even if we sacrifice, we will have generous pensions. It is better if we are injured. We can go directly to the government offices at all levels to do things. This is how my eldest son came out."

"Otherwise, he will not be able to do anything by studying alone"

"This is a good opportunity. Although you are already sixty years old, you are still in good health. I can see that you value the third boy Zhang Jizu very much and are ready to let him go on the road of studying. There are two girls on it, both of whom are at the age of getting married."

"Fortunately, our country stipulates that women can only get married when they are twenty years old. You can endure it for another time and wait until three years later"

"You mean to let Wang'er join the army?"

"Yes, the opportunity is once a year. Nowadays, it is naturally much more comfortable to dig in the soil than in the Qing Dynasty. But after all, it is still a mud-legged person. In three years, a considerable number of the more soldiers can go directly to the yamen at all levels to do things."

"Even if you are defeated, you can directly serve as a village chief, township chief, and sheriff. You know how old you are, and you are still in the position of this village chief. In addition to being more glorious, there are mainly some subsidies."

"Your age is here, but according to our country's rules, it is not a father's position and son's succession, but a re-select. If the eldest son is not good after he is discharged from the army, he can succeed you as the village chief. In recent years, Helan has taught in Lviv City, and he has served in the army, so he has not missed the situation."

Zhang Laoqi twitched his cigarette puff and was also very excited, "If I had the chance, I would definitely let the eldest son sign up. By the way, why did I suddenly want to increase troops? Should I completely attack the Russians?"

Li Erwa shook her head, "This is a national event. Even my eldest son doesn't know, so don't pay attention to it. Once you're notified, sign up quickly."

"Brother, I remember. I originally wanted to keep you for a few more days, but unfortunately you are all pillars of the family. The journey is far away, so I won't keep you."

....

Shortly after Li Erwa and others left, the village received a notice of recruitment, and the statement was similar to what Li Erwa said before. Zhang Laoqi quickly encouraged Zhang Wang to sign up. Since he was only nineteen years old this year and was the descendant of the earliest generation of immigrants, even the mayor of Tiechina and Lviv were alarmed for his wedding, and it was passed without much review.

To the north and west of Lviv, there are many villages like this, and recruitment soon began. In recent years, after the exaggeration of old immigrants like Zhang Laoqi, joining the army and doing things is no less than the best way to go to government agencies through studying and then entering government agencies, and there are endless recruits.

The selected people in each village are naturally very happy, because this person is very likely to be a city worker in the future, and the worst one can be a village chief or a village security officer. The whole village beats drums and sets off firecrackers to send these people to the city for training.

This scene was naturally known by Stoke, the lord of Medica.

The borders of the two countries are close together, and you can see clearly the situation of young people riding their tall horses gathering together into the city without using a telescope.

Not long after, Stoke got the news of the Truchens' increase in troops from the lord of Przemehir. Although the lord said it was not targeted, it still made the Medica's people nervous.

Finally, twenty people in Shejini Village were selected to serve in the city, and Zhang Laoqi had thirty militias under him, which was the same as the number of knights under Stoke on the opposite side.

I don’t know when it started, but Stoke suddenly stepped up patrols on the border. Zhang Laoqi was unaware of it, but he also strengthened the patrol. The scenes of patrolling between the two sides across the fence have become commonplace since then.

Although the knights under Stoke are all mercenaries and are used to being arrogant and domineering, they also know that Truchen is powerful. Although some of them look down on the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans in the militia team opposite, they finally did not cause trouble.

Of course, for the sake of demonstration, both sides cursed each other through the fence and shouted, but they finally did not open fire.

There are large oak forests near the village of Shejini and Medika, and the fields are hidden in it. In the past, the lords not only let the serfs farm, but also asked them to take care of the woods. In addition to paying a large amount of rent, each household also had to provide the lords and knights with some weapons such as guns, so they formed what they are now.

This day is the day when autumn and winter meet. The temperature in Ukraine dropped sharply. Although both sides insisted on patrol, the frequency and number of patrols have dropped significantly.

Of course, it is also because in winter, because there are not many jobs in the fields, a new group of militias concentrated in the city for training have also begun to enter the city. Some of the militias in Shejini Village have been transferred away, and there are not many militias left behind.

Stoke saw that the number of patrols on the opposite side had decreased, and the number of patrols on his own was reduced accordingly. In the end, it reached the point where only one or two people patrolled.

On this day, the cold winter officially came, and snowflakes floated in the sky. It was the turn of the Japanese samurai patrolling the city. This man naturally wanted to go to the city to serve in the army, but he was almost forty years old and had no chance at all, so he had to stay in the village to be a militia.

If they are Chinese, Korean, and local white people, they are obviously not very enthusiastic about militia positions. Although their lives are much better than before, they should be based on gratitude and dedication to the country to manage the border well, but they are ordinary people after all, and they are still poor people in the past.

After living a good life, the first thing they think of is their wives and children, and the whole family is happy. Who is willing to patrol the snow and ice?

But Japanese samurai are different. They are different from the above people. Although they are now farmers because of their age, the awe-inspiring spirit developed in Japan cannot be concealed.

This warrior is one of them. He is very enthusiastic about the position of militia. He takes the initiative to sign up every time he patrols. Today, because it snows, no one wants to come out, so he takes the initiative to come out.

Riding on a tall horse, his short figure looked a little funny, but he was still wearing a military uniform, straightening his upper body, and observing carefully along the fence.

By chance, when he walked into the jungle near the west end, a knight came from there, and the one who had scolded him through the fence.

It seems that the knight is similar to the warrior. As a member of the mercenary, he suddenly got ten serfs. In the cold weather, he should be hiding by the fireplace to enjoy it, but he still came out.

This can only show one thing. This person used to be a regular army, but later became a mercenary by chance.

At the core, he is also a devout soldier.

After seeing him, the warrior did not continue to curse through the fence, but instead greeted him on his own initiative. Although the man looked down on him a little, he did not take too much control and responded very well. In the end, both sides simply continued to patrol west across the fence.

Not far to the west is the Carpathian Mountains, which are thousands of miles from north to south. When you approach there, there is another village. Although you are still unsatisfied, the warrior still turned his horse's head back. The knight on the opposite side did not go with him at this time, but walked towards another path away from the fence.

"Bang..."

The knight had not walked far, and a gunshot suddenly rang out, and the knight fell down from his horse!

The warrior was startled. He knew very well that the shot was not fired by him. He didn't pay attention just now, and he didn't know whether it was fired from the fields or from the dense forest on the eastern foot of the Carpathian Mountains. However, the wind and snow were getting worse and the vision was very poor. Looking at him, there was no one else in the area of ​​a few miles apart from them.

The warrior suddenly thought of something, and didn't care whether the man was still alive, so he quickly rode his horse toward his village.

After returning to the village, he quickly told Zhang Laoqi about this situation. Zhang Laoqi was also shocked. Although he was the village chief, he was an ordinary farmer after all. Although there were some conflicts between the two sides before, it had nothing to do with the overall situation, but it was different now.

A death happened!

He did not dare to delay and rushed to the county government office in Lviv in person to report - both Lviv and Lviv are in Lviv.

After reporting it to the police station in Lviv County, the director did not dare to neglect it and quickly reported it to the municipal bureau.

The police chief of Rossi Port City who had previously investigated the secret assassin organization with Omubu, Batu, had been promoted to deputy mayor and director of the municipal bureau at this time, and he soon received the news.

If it were an ordinary policeman, he would definitely continue to report it, but since he experienced the assassination of Qilibu and Princess Tana, Batuer has been much more alert.

In Vinnica Province, because Lviv is the richest city and leans on the border, it has actually become a big city that is no less than Vinnica and Kiev. His status is almost the same as Vinnica and Kiev, and Rossi Port is a county-level unit. It is obvious that he was promoted and attracted to his experience.

Batu's subconscious reaction was that the enemy in the dark was at work.
