Five hundred and seventieth chapters join the army fever
Thinking of this, Yi Qushe's expression couldn't help but change. But he was still a little unwilling, muttering in his mouth, "Then we can't let Jizhou develop like this, and it will eventually become a thorn in our side."
"Of course not." Gongsun Wen spoke again. He knew very well about his brother Gongsun Guang's abilities. Since his brother had mentioned the Jizhou threat theory, there must be a threat, so it would be absolutely impossible to allow the other party to develop peacefully. Impossible. But Dadi is really not suitable for using troops, but he can let others use troops, such as Huyan Gai who calls himself a Xiongnu.
Feeling that the time had come, Gongsun Wen immediately revealed his plan. "Everyone, we don't need troops, but we can let Hu Yangai use troops. If the Emperor of Daqian blames him, he will only blame Hu Yangai. Not us. Of course, if it is possible to arouse Daqian's wrath and finally help us deal with the so-called Huns, it would be the best thing."
"Kill someone with a borrowed knife!" Di Wang Yiqu said in an ominous manner, and then asked Gongsun Wen with great interest, "Can Qing Wen guarantee that Hu Yangai will send troops?"
"Haha, as long as the benefits are sufficient, they will definitely send troops. Just leave this matter to the ministers, and the king can relax." Gongsun Wen said with confidence. From the time he stood up just now, he already had it in his heart. A mature plan.
Seeing that Gongsun Wen was so confident, Yi Quxiao immediately made the decision and said: "Okay, even so, everything will be left to Wen Qing. Whatever is needed, all the ministers will give their full assistance. In short, we cannot just sit back and watch the development of Jizhou. , it is best to take this opportunity to severely attack the Huyangai tribe. If Dadi and the Xiongnu can be reunited, then our strength will be just around the corner."
"Your Majesty, Shengming." Everyone said with some excitement after hearing this. Dadi fell apart in their hands. If it can be reunited in their hands, of course it would be the best thing.
After the meeting, Gongsun Wen made some preparations, and then led Baiqi straight towards the area controlled by the Huns. Seeing that there was only more than a month left before Jizhou's harvest, he could not wait any longer. He wanted to convince Huyan Gai as soon as possible. Just fine.
...
Jicheng.
Tang Ao returned to Jicheng late at night.
As usual, the army did not enter the city, but went straight to the military camp outside the city. Only Tang Ao led a few people back to the Zhizhou Mansion in the city.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Tang Ao didn't even take a bite of the hot meal. He took the dragon newspaper sent by Zeng Tong, the governor, and reviewed the contents of the new issue.
This issue of Dragon News introduced in detail the fact that the Jizhou Army defeated the Guzhou Army and captured and killed 30,000 enemies. It also recorded that the three counties of Guzhou would later be assigned to Jizhou. As you can imagine, this Once this newspaper is printed, I am afraid it will quickly cause a new sensation, and Jicheng will become very lively again.
"Okay, let's publish it as it is." After reading it, Tang Ao didn't find any problems, so he nodded and agreed. Zeng Tong nodded and stepped back knowingly. He already knew that several of the future wives of Prince Ji But he had already prepared hot dishes and was waiting for Tang Ao to come over. At this time, he would not stay to spoil the fun, although he still had many things to report.
Not to mention that Tang Ao enjoyed all the blessings of everyone this night. Five beauties were accompanying him to dine at the same time. It was really beautiful and delicious. Just say that early the next morning, when the new issue of Dragon News was printed overnight , and after appearing in the city, Jicheng was indeed boiling.
For many years, Jizhou has been a seemingly non-existent existence. The historical wars in the Central Plains have nothing to do with them. Even if someone becomes the emperor, he will never take this place seriously, just like a forgotten foot. Fall in general.
Of course, it cannot be said that it has no value at all. For example, this is always the first place to accept foreign invasion. It is like a hotbed for aliens to live forever. Whenever they are in need, they will appear here and fight. After looting, they left in a show of glory.
Over time, this place became synonymous with backwardness, poverty, remoteness, and bitter cold. Even when it was owned by King Zhong, he never set foot on this land, only when he needed soldiers, food, grass, and silver. It seems like I just remembered this place.
If we talk about the levels of people in Daqian society, for example, from the highest royal family, to the powerful, the good, the humble, and the slaves, the people in Jizhou sometimes live worse than even the slaves. At least the slaves There is still use value, but they have almost lost even a little use value. As a result, the people who come out from here seem to be born as dwarves. Anyone with some ability will find a way to get out, and there will not be many here. Stay for one minute.
This situation lasted for many years until the young King Ji came here and everything changed.
In less than a year, the streets here have become extremely clean, the houses here have become spacious and bright, the people here are no longer in ragged clothes, and the people living here finally have enough to eat...
The people here have a livelihood, and the people here have hope. The children here can actually go to school and can read and read. All of this is something that the people of Jizhou could not imagine a year ago.
But now, after defeating the Beidi and Guzhou armies one after another, the people here have dignity again. When they go out in the future, they can at least straighten their backs. At least when facing the Di and Guzhou people, they can Proudly say, you have nothing great, otherwise, why would you be defeated by us?
The people were agitated because of these changes that affected them, and the direct result was that the only five recruitment points in the city were once again overcrowded.
The area of Jicheng is not small, and the number of people now exceeds 200,000. There are only five recruitment points, which is really too few. This is what Zeng Tong, the prefect, strongly requested. There is no other way to come and enlist. There are too many young soldiers. In order to retain enough labor force among the people, we have no choice but to reduce the recruitment points. In this way, we can recruit fewer soldiers. Compared with other states and counties, this measure is exactly the same. opposite.
Others wanted to recruit soldiers but couldn't, but Ji Cheng wanted to be a soldier but couldn't.
From this point of view alone, it is enough to illustrate the importance of winning people's hearts.
The big red paper on the recruitment desk is still so bright. The handwriting on it is still so clear. Three meals a day, food and accommodation included, two months' salary in advance, and new armor uniforms allocated from the logistics department It was issued to everyone, and once selected, they would immediately get fifty acres of fertile land. These various favorable conditions were enough to make every recruiting office crowded with young men.
In front of the recruitment point, there is a row of small tables neatly arranged. There are clerks sitting in front of the small tables. Behind the clerks are several burly Jizhou soldiers. But in fact, they never need to say anything to sign up.
The people were all very orderly and seemed to be afraid of overcrowding and would directly remove the recruiting point, thus cutting off their thoughts.
This situation is a bit like some MLM organizations in later generations that suck people into their traps. The difference is that in MLM organizations, everyone is afraid to avoid them, but in front of each small table, there are people with their families.
There are many people lined up.
"Do you think we can be chosen?"
"We are also worried. Look, there are people in front of us. How many places are there?"
After hearing a question from a ragged refugee, a Jicheng native replied: "It's hard to say. If you meet the conditions, you can join the army. If the conditions are not good, you may not recruit anyone in a day."
Needless to say, this speaker must not have come to sign up for the first time. When his voice came out and was heard by the people who were queuing up in various dialects, they all looked confused.
These are not people from Jicheng, they are refugees from outside. They heard people talk about the changes in Jizhou, so they came here with a trace of luck. Originally they thought the rumors must be false, this is Jizhou,
It is the northernmost place in Daqian. I heard that it is cold here for nearly half of the year. How can the conditions here be good?
Although I believed that the rumors were untrue, I had no choice but to go to Liaozhou and Guzhou, and found that people would starve to death there as well, so I thought of coming to Jizhou to have a look. The worst I could do was eat bark, grass and roots all the way.
Just go back. Never thought that as soon as they came here, they would be blinded.
It is completely different from other places. As soon as you enter Jizhou City, you can see some porridge restaurants at the four gates. You can smell the aroma of rice even far away. Compared with other porridge restaurants, that one pot
With a few grains of rice and water, the porridge here is obviously much kinder.
Unexpectedly, they could see the porridge market. The refugees felt as if they had come to heaven from hell and rushed over excitedly. When they drank several large bowls of rice porridge one after another and felt that their stomachs were obviously full, this
Only then did they have time to look around, and then a surprising scene appeared in their eyes. They discovered that they were the only refugees in front of these porridge restaurants. Even if the locals saw them, they seemed not to have seen them. On the contrary, some people were still walking around.
Walking here, it feels like there is something ominous here.
What exactly is going on?
This abnormality has gone beyond the knowledge of these refugees. Some brave refugees asked the people passing by, and soon they knew the answer. It turns out that the people living here have already had enough to eat, although it is not
It's a delicious meal, but at least you won't go hungry.
As for the reason for not coming to the porridge market, it is even simpler. Living in Jicheng, as long as people are not lazy, they can find work and make money. The difference is just a matter of how much. In such an environment, who would go
If you eat in the porridge shop, you will only be looked down upon by others. Once you appear here frequently and are seen by the patrolmen, I'm sorry, you will be arrested and sent to the prisoner coolie camp to work.
