The number of scholars in the Ming Dynasty was actually not large. In the northwest region, the number was particularly rare.

However, the number of official positions is even smaller.

This is destined that not every scholar can get a job. Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, the situation of selling official positions became more and more serious. Those scholars who had no background and had no background had almost no way to enter the official career. This led to their dissatisfaction with the court increasing day by day. It seemed that the later Fushe was born from a group of unsuccessful scholars at the beginning, which was a bit of anger.

Of course, not all angry young people will embark on the road of rebellion. After all, the crime of rebellion is still very serious and is still very intimidating. However, if there is a persuasion from a person with a heart and appropriate interests, it is indeed a bit difficult to refuse. Scholars are also human beings and they also have to live. Especially many scholars, in addition to studying, there are actually very few other living skills. The so-called lack of diligence in the four bodies and no distinction between grains. If their thoughts begin to shake, and the burden of their wives and children, they will generally surrender.

The conditions offered by the White Army are actually very favorable and allow them to have no worries. As long as you are willing to cooperate with the White Army, the White Army can help conceal your identity and use some means to make you disappear without realizing it. After you arrive at the White Army, you will live with a fake identity name. After the wind is over, you will restore your original identity.

It seems like Zhang Tianhao, his external names are fake. No one knows that he actually comes from a well-known family in the capital. At that time, there was no camera yet, and all the video materials could only be portrayed by hand. Obviously, for the current white-clothed army, only Xu Xingxia can enjoy such treatment. The government only has Xu Xingxia's appearance information. As long as others change their names and keep their original identity secrets a little, almost no one can recognize who you are.

In fact, in the chaotic society at that time, a small family, a few people, or a dozen people disappeared collectively. As long as no one reported the case, almost no one would have thought that they would surrender to the White Army? Moreover, since the White Army was willing to help you migrate secretly, they would naturally send people to deal with the aftermath. As for the president, Li Zheng, who was directly in charge of grassroots household registration at that time, he could have kept his mouth shut as much as a bottle.

In Shaanxi, there are actually many scholars who make soy sauce. For some reasons, they are temporarily unable to enter the official career, but they have to support their families, so they can only take a little risk. No matter what, they can't sit still for nothing? Under the guidance of those who are interested, they surrender to the White Army and take on the position of staff, which is natural. After all, the money and food for this position are still very good, with at least ten taels of silver per month. The benefits in other aspects are also quite good, and they are definitely better than staying in the Ming Dynasty.

Most scholars disappeared on the excuse of escape. At that time, this was definitely the best excuse, because the emergence of the White Army was a great threat to many people. Some capable people did not even dare to stay in Xi'an Prefecture, but migrated directly to Henan and other places, or to the farther south of the Yangtze River. In fact, the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty at that time was basically in name only. Most of them could not be found by looking for people according to household registration.

In fact, the purpose of Xu Xingxia pulling Zhu Xieyuan and others over is to strengthen the staff of the White-Clothed Army. The future development direction of the White-Clothed Army is to actively promote cultural knowledge.

There must be a group of scholars as the basic team and literacy movement to develop better. In the future, the technical content of wars, muskets, cannons, and warships will become higher and higher. The requirements for cultural knowledge will only become higher and higher.

As long as Zhu Xieyuan comes, some other scholars, especially some young scholars, can reduce many concerns. Their speed of surrendering will be faster. After coming here, they can also work quickly and with peace of mind. Look, even the high-ranking censors have surrendered to them. What are you, little fish and shrimp?

"I understand. Mr. Hengyue, you can take a look." Xu Xingxia took the information, glanced at it briefly, and handed it to Zhu Xieyuan.

Zhu Xieyuan didn't expect Xu Xingxia would show him the military information, and began to call himself Mr. Hengyue, which obviously narrowed his distance with him and expressed a certain respect.

This made Zhu Xieyuan feel very warm. After a moment of stunnedness, he subconsciously took the information.

As a result, it was fine if I didn't look at it. After reading it, my brows couldn't help but frowned. According to the report from the Huangxiakou Fortress, at least three thousand people's shoes gathered in front of the fortress.

The shoes of three thousand people are not a small number. If it were the past, three thousand people went south to Ningxia Town, and the entire four northwest towns would have to take action to find a way to drive the Tartars away? Now, a small pass has gathered 3,000 people. There are probably more than one person in several passes in Helan Mountain. Zhu Xieyuan had to worry a little. This Mo Rigen is so cruel that he is really willing to take action. At the same time, his troops are really strong.

However, judging from Xu Xingxia's reaction, it seems that it is not the shoes of three thousand people at all, but the unarmed farmers of three thousand without any threat. How could such a young man under twenty years old be so calm? How did his battlefield experience be trained?

To be honest, even if they are old officials like me, they will feel nervous when they encounter such a complicated situation. It seems that he and Huang Kezan are both over 50 years old and have been in the officialdom for decades. In vulgar terms, they have eaten more salt than Xu Xingxia has eaten. They have walked more bridges than Xu Xingxia has walked. Even so, they still feel a little afraid in front of Mo Rigen.

It should be noted that the person who led the shoe target to the south was no one else, but the famous shoe target to the arrow god Mo Rigen. This guy was a person who was in the desert. No one dared to provoke him easily. Now, he has been blocked by Xu Xingxia and suffered a little loss. With his style, he will probably become more severe, hysterical, and even more crazy. In this way, Ningxia Town faces greater pressure. What's more, Mo Rigen also pulled Lin Danhan into his own chariot.

Zhu Xieyuan asked with concern: "Xingxia, should we send troops to reinforce?"

Xu Xingxia shook her head and said, "There is no need for the time being. Mo Rigen does this just to disperse my troops. We cannot be fooled easily."

Zhu Xieyuan said cautiously: "Aren't you afraid of accidents?"

Xu Xingxia smiled slightly and said confidently: "I have confidence in my troops."

Zhu Xieyuan thought for a while and said slowly: "I'll ask you a risky question, how many defenders are there in Huangxiakou Fortress?"

Xu Xingxia casually said: "One squadron, three people."

Zhu Xieyuan was speechless. There were 3,000 people in attacking, but there were only three people in the defense of the White Army. The total strength comparison was 1 to 1. If it were someone else, I would be afraid that my face would be gray. But Xu Xingxia was still so calm and didn't take it seriously at all. Such calmness, such confidence, and such confidence, and such a sure victory, except for the White Army, and Xu Xingxia, there is probably no other army that can do it.

To be honest, Zhu *yuan felt very relieved at this time.

As a Han man, of course he hopes that the Han army can fight and kill all the shoes. As for who this army belongs, it is not very important. The meat is rotten in the pot, and it is better than being snatched away by others. Moreover, he was quite satisfied with Xu Xingxia's behavior of calling him Mr. Hengyue just now. Before he knew it, he already felt that he had a close relationship with the White Army.

Xu Xingxia suddenly thought of a question, and his face suddenly became serious. He subconsciously stared at the location of Bayannur grassland on the map and asked deeply: "Mr. Zhu, if you were Mo Rigen, what would you do in the face of the current situation?" Zhu Xieyuan was stunned again and did not understand what Xu Xingxia meant for a while. He was not used to this reverse thinking style. He was used to thinking only from his own perspective. However, he still tried very hard to adjust his thinking and stood at Mo Rigen's corner to start thinking. However, for the first time in reverse thinking, Zhu Xieyuan was obviously not very adaptable.

Xu Xingxia had no urgent intention to express his opinion. He said smoothly: "If you were Mo Rigen, how would you break the current dilemma? It is obvious that Zhenyuan Pass has no way to take it down. If you return it, you are not willing to do so. What should I do?"

Zhu Xieyuan slowly closed his eyes and began to think seriously. This was his old habit.

As long as you think about a problem, you must close your eyes and concentrate all your energy. Huang Kezan also has this habit. Sometimes, when two people are together and think about a problem together, a strange phenomenon will occur, that is, both of them close their eyes and rest, and quietly face each other.
