Chapter 622 The No. 1 Troop Source in the World Is So Terrifying!
"Da Lang, you have to think about it for yourself. It's a matter of your whole life. Don't make mistakes. You have been studying for a few years, but you are better than my godfather who only knew a few characters when I was in the army!" Before leaving, Li
The lame man gave another instruction to his godson Xiao Dalang. After saying that, he got on the bicycle with his lame leg and pedaled back to the inspection station.
Looking at Li Laizi riding his bicycle away, Xiao Zhengqing stayed for a while before turning around and going back to the house.
When working in the afternoon, Xiao Dalang was careless and even blew a few times, but in the end he blew it.
"You kid, you are not made for this kind of work. There is no place for your heart, so I'll do it anyway." After scolding his son, Xiao Zhengqing snatched the embryo and started making it himself.
As the evening approached, Xiao Zhengqing stopped and said, "That's all for today. I'll go to Wang's house in the evening to have my guts fucked."
"His father, Li Laizi asked us to reply tonight. How did you plan?"
After looking at his mother-in-law and then at his son, Xiao Zhengqing said, "Does your son want to go?"
"Dad, I want to go."
"Okay! I'll finish delivering the goods, buy some things, and go to your godfather's house to settle the matter."
Seeing that her man had made up his mind so quickly, Second Sister Ma couldn't help but become anxious: "His father, why don't we think about it again? Let the baby serve as a soldier to feed me. I always feel pain in my heart."
"Just let him go to the army and endure hardships, stay in the house, and you and your mother will be noisy. Are you a boy? If you don't strive for a future and provide a stable meal, you will always have no future! Just like us, if we hadn't been ruthless back then,
I brought Dalang to the capital with my last heart, how can I live like this now? Look at his godfather, after a hard fight, didn't he become an official from a bachelor? One day, he will return to the village.
He is much more prestigious than us. If I had not been burdened by my family back then, I would probably be more successful than his godfather."
After hearing her husband's words, Ma Erniang glared: "Are you saying that we ladies are dragging you down from becoming an official? Where is your conscience? If you were a bachelor and joined the army, how could you have the four sons you have now? Li Laizi is so majestic.
He's very young, he's only a palm-sized baby right now, and he doesn't know when he'll grow up. Otherwise, why would he be so interested in our elder man?"
"Let's stop arguing! It's settled that Da Lang is going to join the army. I'll go and give him a message. His godfather has made it clear that the four boys in our family should think more about the future."
"Oh! You men are just hard-hearted. It's not the flesh that you have shed, but your heart doesn't know how to hurt. When I think of Dalang joining the army, my heart trembles."
That night, it was agreed that Xiao Dalang would join the army. Li Laizi was also concerned about this matter. When he was handing over his job, he still took the time to take his godson to the Military Affairs Department in the East District of the city to go through the military inspection and complete the formalities.
A few days after completing the procedures for Xiao Dalang, Li Laizi officially left the inspection station and reported to Yucheng County in the Central Plains. Before leaving, he invited the Xiao family to dinner, and gave his house in the capital to Xiao Zhengqing to take care of.
He gave his bicycle to the Xiao family.
Originally Li Zizi wanted to sell his house in Beijing, but then he thought about it and realized that there might be a chance to transfer him back to Beijing. The price of houses in Beijing changes every year. If he buys a family property by then, he might spend more money.
Money. So when it comes to selling a house, don’t rush into it now. Let’s wait and see what happens in a few years.
The enthusiasm for joining the army in Beijing is very strong, and people like Xiao Zhengqing's family are busy with it. In the second month of the lunar calendar, Zhu Youjian received a notification from the Ministry of War. From the notification, this recent wave
The increase in troops has made progress far beyond expectations. Even in places like Beijing, the tide of joining the army is rising. It seems that it has fundamentally changed people's understanding of joining the army!
However, the officials of the Ministry of War seem to have some different opinions on the upsurge of military participation in the capital. They made a few comments in the report materials and suggested that the number of troops in the capital should be controlled, fearing that the soldiers coming out of this place would not be able to be used. In previous years, the so-called
The soldiers recruited in the capital are actually mostly recruited from refugees who come from all over the country. Nowadays, most of them are children who grew up in the capital, which is really worrying.
The soldiers from the capital are not able to withstand fighting. It is not entirely because the people in the Ministry of War are too prejudiced. Their concerns are also justified. In the armies of later generations, there are exclusive terms such as city soldiers and Beijing soldiers. From this we can know what they are like.
It is useless. Being a soldier and fighting is a hard and hard work. Soldiers coming from a place with good conditions and a wide range of choices are indeed no more useful than those from a hard place.
It is said that this is because there are more places to source troops, which gives the Ministry of War the right to be picky. In previous years, they wanted to be picky, but they didn't have that leeway.
Where in the world is the best source of troops? Regarding this, the Ministry of War and even all officials have a consensus, that is Shaanxi! Half of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty came from the Three Qin Dynasties, and now they occupy northern Shaanxi, don’t they have a good source of troops? Who can see it?
Three melons and two dates in the capital?
It is not just the consensus of the Ming Dynasty courtiers that Qin soldiers are easy to use. This concept is not a problem whether looking forward or looking back. In modern times, even the Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou has several famous generals from Shaanxi. Like
The bald principal loves to employ people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and he has many popular generals from Shaanxi and Shaanxi under his command. Doesn’t this explain the problem?
In the report materials of the Ministry of War, Zhu Youjian was surprised to see the content of the Qin soldiers' report. The Ministry of War said that they should quickly organize reserve officers to go to northern Shaanxi. Not only were there nearly 20,000 regular troops who were temporarily under Sun Shoufa's command and needed to be reorganized.
, Ma Youliang and others also recruited more than 20,000 people. Maybe they will build two more armies from northern Shaanxi.
After all, it is the largest source of troops in the world. It is so terrifying! If fifty or sixty thousand troops appeared in other places, Zhu Youjian would not make a fuss. But where is northern Shaanxi! Counting from the early years of Chongzhen
, everywhere has been in chaos for twenty-five years. During this period, Hong Chengchou and others built a Qin army, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others pulled the troops several times, and Sun Chuanting even tossed them several times. In addition, people like Tang Tong
The team waiting for them is also based on people who came from somewhere. After such a torment, they can actually have 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers. It is really an exaggeration.
Just by liberating a barren land like northern Shaanxi, the troops that emerged were comparable to more than half of a populous province like the Central Plains. No wonder people generally agree that Shaanxi sent troops. In terms of population, there is no comparison between Shaanxi and the Central Plains.
Judging from this situation, Shaanxi can definitely send more troops than the Central Plains.
What a strange place! We must not estimate this place according to common sense. In other places, it may be that one soldier is sent out by five dings, one soldier is sent out by ten dings, one soldier is sent out by three dings in Qin, or even one soldier is sent out by one ding.
.When you count the recruiting flags, there are soldiers who eat food, which should be the Qin Dynasty. The awareness of eating food as a soldier is engraved in people's bones, and it is definitely incomparable to other places.
