Chapter 7 Serving the Army Again (Part 1)

Chen Houshi might not be able to relieve himself in one breath. Chen Wanrong hurriedly patted his back and started to instruct: "Dad, don't be anxious first. Wait until Airong will finish his words, and then he will talk about it after he has figured out the matter."

"What else can I say? He doesn't have to study!" Chen Laoshi finally recovered. His chest was swelling rapidly, and his breathing was as fast as a ox.

Chen Zairong also had high hopes for studying, and did not agree with this matter, but she was more honest and calmer than Chen and agreed: "Old man, don't be anxious. This is not the first time Zairong doesn't want to study, and he has been persuaded to go back."

In order to reduce the financial burden of the family, Chen Zairong dropped out of school several times but failed. Chen Laoshi and the others persuaded him to go back. After hearing this, Chen Laoshi was a little relieved: "There is me in the family, your mother, and your brother, you don't have to worry about it. Zairong, just listen to your father and go back to study, okay?"

Chen Zairong said in an unshakable tone: "Dad, I won't go back this time no matter what!"

Chen Wangshi hurriedly pulled him: "All right, listen to your father, okay? The family is just a little bit of land, and we are busy. We are planning to rent a few acres of land to plant, which is not enough for us to plant."

"Mom, I didn't say I'm back to farm. In the past, I wanted to come back to farm for you, but this time I'm not." Chen Zairong was straight and he was quite proud.

In Chen Hushi and Chen Wangshi's impression, every time Chen Zairong wants to drop out of school, he uses the excuse of going home to help them work. This time it is not. He can't help but be curious and looks at Chen Zairong. Chen Hushi asked, "Then what are you doing?"

"Dad, mom, please sit down and talk. If you have something to do, just say it. Don't be anxious, just talk slowly." Chen Wanrong knew that the storm was not so easy to resolve, so he closed the door and moved the stool. Chen Laoshi and the others sat down as they said.

Chen Wang was still feeling sorry for Chen Zairong, so he poured a bowl of hot water and handed it to Chen Zairong: "Drink some water and warm it up. Zairong, if you ask you to wear more clothes, you just don't listen. If you dress so thinly, you are not afraid of being frozen."

Chen Zhenzhen loved Chen Zairong, the son who was responsible for glorifying his ancestors, and then said: "The new three years, the old three years, the sewing and repairing for another three years, and the old ones are broken and the old ones are done as long as it can be warm. We poor families can't care about face or not. If you want to compete for face, you will be successful, and we can't compare with others."

"Dad, am I cold? I didn't wear this way in winter?" Chen Zairong was quite proud of his ability to resist cold.

They got off the topic apart, and Chen Wanrong had to take on the responsibility of bringing the topic back: "No matter how lucky you are, what do you think you are going to do?" This matter needs to be solved and cannot be avoided.

When Chen Zairong heard this, he was so excited that his face shone with excitement: "Brother, I'm going to join the army. Our county is recruiting talents and brave men, and it's up to me."

The Tang Dynasty promoted both civil and military affairs, and was not as important as later generations as those in later generations. It was a good choice for joining the army in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty's military merits were rewarded more than ten times better than planting crops. If Chen Zairong joined the army, the army would definitely welcome it warmly.

The backbone of the Tang Dynasty army was composed of "good children". Good children must have land in their families, be honest, absolutely loyal for generations, and have to read books. It was the Tang Dynasty army, which was backbone of these good children, who were brave and good at fighting and were invincible in the world. Not only did they destroy the Turks, but they also went deep into the Middle East to compete with the Arab Empire for control of the Middle East, which once had the upper hand. If it weren't for the "Anshi Rebellion", we could think about it in a better way: maybe the current Chinese land would include the Middle East!

Chen Zairong is strong and strong. He has had a special interest in weapons since he was a child, and he likes to fight, kill, and play guns. He said that the sword he had on him did not spend a penny at home. He had a few days of contact with Zhang Blacksmith of Luojiadian and helped Zhang Blacksmith do a few days of work. Zhang Dejiang built it for him. Although the quality is not very good, it has it after all.

He has all the excellent conditions that an excellent soldier should have, and joining the army is a very good choice.

"What did you say? Are you going to recruit talents and brave men?" Chen Houshi was so scared that he could not close his mouth.

"No matter how Rong, you didn't lie to your mother, right?" Chen Wangshi also disbelief.

The brave men are equivalent to our current special forces and Marine Corps. They are the elite among the elites. The selection conditions are very strict. In addition to a strong body, they also need a flexible mind. If they can be selected similarly to those in studying, they will be as glorious as those in studying. Chen Laoshi was not only not angry when he heard this, but was surprised.

In our modern society, if any company can have a Marine Corps or Special Forces soldier, it will be very awesome and highly respected.

Chen Zairong raised his head and felt a little bit lustful: "Mom, I haven't told you yet. I've tried it. I've tried it, long piles, horse shooting, step shooting, flat shooting, tube shooting, horse rifle, clasping, weight-bearing, and body-bearing."

In the early Tang Dynasty, the government military system was implemented, and the recruitment system was also implemented. The border army mainly relied on recruitment. By the Jingyun period, the government military system had declined and was gradually replaced by the recruitment system. The real abolishment of the government military system was the adoption of Zhang Shuo's proposal and the implementation of the recruitment system. It went decades later.

Chen Laoshi's displeasure just now was swept away, and he replaced it with a look of pride. He held Chen Zairong's hand and rubbed it: "Zairong, then aren't you a martial artist? You are so amazing!"

The conditions of talented and brave men are very harsh, and he has many projects, so he is the best in everything. This is not as simple as choosing talented and brave men. There is no difference between him and a martial scholar. Chen Chen is extremely proud and looks at his beloved son, and his eyes turn into a beacon!

The Wu Juren was established during the Wu Zetian period. The assessment items were similar to those of the Ministry of War recruiting brave men, and later they were abolished.

Chen Wangshi was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth. She opened her mouth and laughed: "Another honor, you have grown up! Mom didn't love you in vain!"

Chen Zairong was so arrogant that he stood up: "That's it!"

Chen Wanrong thought that it would be a good place to join the army with such excellent conditions as Chen Zairong, and he would be happy for him.

"Mom, I have three stagnant of money a month, I will save it for you. You have been up early and late for my studies and suffered and suffer. My son will repay you now." Chen Zairong looked forward to a bright future: "When I go to the battlefield, kill more Turks, and have great military achievements, you will live a good life at that time."

His age is in the years of passion. His eyes are red when he thinks of a bright future. He wishes he will go to the battlefield immediately and kill him.

The military pay of the Tang Dynasty was rich, and the brave men were the elite among the elite, and their treatment was naturally higher than that of other armies. The monthly pay of three staple money was an astronomical figure for a poor family like Chen Laoshi and others. Chen Laoshi should be very happy when he heard it. However, this is far from the case.

Chen Chen, who was originally happy, suddenly pulled down his face and asked, "Zairong, what do you say? Kill the Turks?"

Chen Zairong blinked his bright eyes, but he didn't expect any problem: "Yes! What else can the brave men recruited by the Anbei Protectorate's Office do if they don't fight the Turks?"

"No matter how glorious you are, my father won't let you join the army no matter what! If you want to join the army, you will not wait for your father to die!" Chen Laoshi said in an extremely firm tone.

Chen Wangshi also agreed: "No matter how glorious you are, I won't allow you to go."

Only then did Chen Zairong realize something was wrong and asked in confusion: "Dad, why is this?"

Chen Zhen grabbed Chen Zairong's hand tightly, for fear of losing him: "Zairong, if my father can let you go elsewhere, the father of Anbei Protectorate's Mansion cannot let you go even if he dies!"

The Anbei Protectorate was both the pride of the Tang people and the pain in the hearts of the Tang people! During the Jingyun period of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had three main political and military opponents: the emerging Arab Empire, the Tubo entrenched on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the Hou Turkic in the desert.

When we mention the term "Western Region", we think of Xinjiang. The Western Region refers to the vast area west of Yumen Pass. It has undergone great changes in the past dynasties. There is no accurate number. It can only be said that Xinjiang is just a part of the Western Regions.

The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty were very large, several times larger than the current Xinjiang. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, the forces of the Tang Dynasty began to enter the Middle East and officially competed for control of the Middle East with the Arab Empire.

This was just the beginning. Wu Zetian increased his efforts to compete for the Middle East, especially during the Kaiyuan and Tianbao periods of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, which was the most fierce competition between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire. The Tang Dynasty had the upper hand and its influence in the Middle East became increasingly greater. Unfortunately, Gao Xianzhi failed to fight for Talas, and the Anshi Rebellion occurred two years later, and the Tang Dynasty completely withdrew from the ranks of fighting for the Middle East.

Tubo not only competed with the Tang Dynasty for the Western Regions, but also mainly competed with the Tang Dynasty for the "Hexi Corridor" strategic channel connecting the Western Regions from the central area of ​​China. As a result, more defeats than less, and many defeats were lost to the Tang Dynasty, which greatly lost its strength.

The amazing and talented general Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night and destroyed *, Jie Li Khan was captured, and * was declared to be destroyed. Emperor Taizong of Tang then established the Anbei Protectorate, managing the northern part of the Great Wall. The northernmost end was Lake Baikal in Russia. Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Wu Zetian made mistakes in dealing with the Turkic issue, which led to the rebellion of the Turkic, known in history as the "Post Turkic".

The rebellion of the Later Turks led to the Anbei Protectorate who could not gain a foothold in the north of the border and had to move to the south of the Great Wall. The second year of Jingyun was placed in the "Xi Shujiang City". For the Tang people, Emperor Taizong of Tang destroyed the Turks, and the humiliation of the Wei River forming an alliance under the city made them extremely proud. However, the rebellion of the Later Turks made them extremely angry, and it was not a pleasure to mention the Turks.

The Western Regions, Ganliang Road and the northern part of the Paibei were the most frequent wars during the Jingyun period of the Tang Dynasty. These three places were the most intense wars in the northern part of the Paibei region. There were wars almost every year, and they were harassed by the Turks in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The Anbei Protectorate is now recruiting brave men. There should be major military operations against the Later Turks this year. The casualties rate of the army here is very high. If Chen Zairong really goes to the northern part of the Seychelles, there is a high possibility of death. Chen Zhen feels sincere that even if he has a high monthly salary, he will not let him go to the Anbei Protectorate.

However, for a passionate young man like Chen Zairong, reappearing the hegemony of Emperor Taizong of Tang and making the Turks surrender again was their wish. Chen Zairong stood up suddenly, his voice raised high, and almost shouted: "No! Fighting the Turks and restoring the hegemony of Emperor Taizong is what our men think of! Even if I die, I will die on the battlefield of fighting the Turks!"
