When Yu Liang returned home, he told the story of joining the army. As a result, my mother and his wife cried and almost beat him up by his father. Later, he persuaded him and said that he was going to be an official, but he was just a military officer, so he was slightly forgiven.

Then he began to encourage the villagers to join the army, and he said tirelessly that the benefits of becoming a soldier in the village were. Because he could not be a ten general without looking for some people... He was a disciple, and if he was a disciple, he would not be able to hand in the wrong at home.

The situation is pretty good. The Kaifeng Prefecture Branch is not easy to recruit people because the villagers don’t know what’s going on! The people in the village are illiterate and rarely enter the city, but the officials in the county have not properly implemented the imperial court’s orders.

...In the Zhangzhuang village, the old Zhang family originally had five sons, but now there are three left. The older one is in his early thirties and they are all bachelors!

The family of five was having supper in the yard while discussing what the Yu family said.

Although it was a yard, it was only a broken earthen wall, not even a door. The sky was already dim, and several people were carrying thick bowls in the yard, and there was still a little light, and the room was dark and there was no lamp oil.

The second and fourth brothers are already dead, and the Yellow River is the one who has died. Now, in addition to Old Man Zhang, there are three other men.

Old Man Zhang took a sip of vegetable leaf soup and said, "It's free of labor service..."

The old woman with gray hair and matte hair hurriedly said, "You have to work hard, you can't be too scared to see a sword or a gun."

Lao San said: "It's better than building the Yellow River every year, so you don't need to bring food."

The boss said weakly: "I still have a lot of money to burn when I die..."

The family said one by one, and then they stopped talking.

Zhang Da was wearing tattered clothes and his hair was tied to the top of his head with a hemp rope. He was very thin, but because of his thick bones, he looked very big and burly.

After drinking a bowl of vegetable soup, a thin layer of rice grains was left in the bowl, he stood up and walked to Lao Wu who was squatting on the threshold and holding the bowl without saying a word. Lao Wu was only twelve years old. Zhang poured the rice grains from the bowl into Lao Wu's bowl.

The fifth brother swallowed a mouthful and hurriedly said, "Brother, eat, eat."

Zhang Da turned around and went into the house to put the bowl.

After a while, the third brother also poured the remaining rice into his younger brother's bowl and smiled and said, "Half-old boy, just when he can eat it. The fifth brother is better. In the future, I will ask for a wife. My old Zhang family will be incense."

Lao Wu wiped his eyes and said, "If I can ask my wife, let her serve the eldest and third brothers too."

When the old woman heard this, she spitted and cursed: "Silly words!"

Zhang Da walked out of the house and hummed, "I'll go find Shusheng Yu, I'll go to join the army."

Zhang San said: "Brother, I'll go, you're good at farming."

Zhang Dadao: "The third brother is still young and may be able to ask for a wife. If I die, I will take the money given by the government to marry my wife and give me a straw mat and bury it."

At this moment, the two younger brothers suddenly burst into tears.

"Cry!" Zhang Da cursed, "Isn't the second and fourth brother buried it like this? I'm dead, so why are you still expensive?"

Zhang Da said to his parents, then went out to the Yu family, and the third brother followed without saying a word.

When they arrived at Yu Liang's house, they entered the tiled house, and there were two men talking to Yu Liang there. Zhang Da and Lao San stood against the wall at the door. The two brothers moved in one move, put their hands in their broken sleeves, and stood there with their necks locked.

Yu Liang turned his eyes and asked casually: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Dadao: "Just do that job, what Shusheng Yu said in the village."

Yu Liang said: "Join to the army?"

"Hmph." Zhang Da said from his nose.

Yu Liang said: "You old Zhang family go to two brothers?"

Zhang Dadao: "I'll go, he'll come to see you."

The third brother said, "I'll go too."

Yu Liang spoke a little politely and asked again: "Have you eaten?"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the old man Yu next to him coughed twice. Zhang Da turned his head and glanced at him, saying, "I'll take it."

Yu Liang picked up his pen and wrote for a while, and looked up and said, "Then go back and prepare, and go with me in three days."

"I'm hit?" Zhang Da asked puzzledly.

Yu Liang said: "I've won! As soon as I report it, your Zhang family is a military household. As long as someone is in the military, the whole family will not need labor service."

The two of them followed the army in a few confused words. When they went back to talk, they made the mother cry again. But the family said they had become military citizenship and dared not repent, for fear of being arrested by the government and being questioned.

Three days later, Yu Liang had already summoned more than a dozen men and walked to the county. A green-robed official received them and then took them to the government yard for dinner.

It turned out to be white rice!

A group of people looked lit up, sat on the table and picked up chopsticks and started eating. No one said a word, and there was only the sound of chopsticks and bowls colliding and the rustling sound of chewing on the table.

There was something that was fast to eat, and soon I held the bowl and licked the bottom of the bowl.

Just then, I suddenly heard a burst of crying. When everyone turned to look, the third son of the Zhang family burst into tears. Zhang Da said annoyedly: "Why are you crying? Isn't it embarrassing!"

Zhang San choked and said, "I'm eating white rice, my parents are drinking vegetable leaf soup..."

Zhang Da's expression dimly and said, "Eat quickly. What you eat is not the food at home, so you can save it for them."

Everyone was silent.

The county government handed out wheat cakes for a few days and put them in cloth bags! Then Yu Liang and another leading man went all the way to Kaifeng Prefecture. The crowd was very dull two days ago. Not long after, because everyone had a full meal every time, everyone didn't feel tired, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

When we arrived at Daying outside Tokyo, wheelbarrows pushed grain into the camp on the main road, and the words "Taicang" were also on the sack. When everyone saw so much food, they felt more at ease.

The commander personally received Yu Liang and his more than a dozen people. Seeing that they were all young and strong men, he was very happy and immediately appointed Yu Liang as the tenth general of the third team of the Right Regiment of the Right Capital, and arranged more than a dozen people to gather a team for him.

Then, a large cart of clothes was transported over, and there was a flag on the car that read: Shen Chen and Li Weaving.

The escorted man clasped his fists and said, "This batch of military uniforms is the intention of Mrs. Shen, so please accept it with a smile."

The commander's face was shattered: "Shen Chen and Li Shangxing are righteous and careless, and they are worthy of being a righteous businessman!"

"Where are there," said the man in the robe.

The commander waved his hand: "Go to the river to get water and boil bath water, wash it and change it!" After saying that, his eyes stopped on Zhang Da's ragged clothes and frowned, "Clothes like this, please change them and throw them away! We are not begging for food!"

Apart from clothes, each person has a pair of helmets; there is no armor and no weapons.

When everyone took a shower and changed into military uniforms, the camp was even more noisy, and "haha" laughed from time to time, and everyone was very happy. Because this military uniform looked very beautiful!

The shoulders are made of leather! They look like shoulder armor; the wrists are also leather. The gray linen is solid and flat, with good workmanship, and the stitches are dense and neat. A large piece of lace on the chest is like a breastplate, with a cyan fluorene head on the waist and a leather belt; the linen pants on the lower body are slightly lighter in color, and the whole set of colors is very layered. Thousand-layer sole boots are also very comfortable to wear.

The commander also smiled and said, "I heard that Chen Chen and Li weaving made all the clothes of nobles and nobles. The things they made were really impressive! Majestic!"

Zhang Da stared at his third brother, turned around twice, and made two voices, "Tsk tsk" and said, "Mom, no wonder people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. The third brother is so worried about not being able to get married?!"

The two of them also straightened their waists, and they were energetic after eating, so they couldn't finish talking.

The third brother said, "You should have come here long ago if you know that it is so good to follow the army."

...After ten days, the commanders of Kaifeng Prefecture recruited all the people. The commander did not train troops, but just asked everyone to stand a little and told them that they were going to Jiangnan Camp.

Tokyo is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it is necessary to go to Jiangnan. Everyone knows why, but most of them are honest farmers, very obedient, and they eat every day, so they can go wherever they call.

Soon, good things come! Not only do you care about food, but you also pay for money!

Each person has a copper coin and a piece of cloth as a "family settlement fee". The commander said that he could not go home for a while, so he went on the battle directly after training. He gave everyone a few days to go home and then drove south.

The commander said several times in a row that he had to come back. Everyone had already registered and made a book. He refused to obey military orders within three years. The deserter had to be beaten fifty and was exiled for three thousand miles!

If you take the delicious food from the court, you will be a serious crime if you want to run away!

The third brother below muttered: "Who wants to run away? Every time I eat a good meal, I won't leave..."

A few days later, Zhang Da and the other two brothers returned to Zhangzhuang with their money, as if they had a dream! After not seeing each other for more than half a month, they transformed into a transformation and returned home in glory.

Every household in the village came out to watch. Zhang Da raised his head and was asked by acquaintances, but he couldn't answer it. He said from time to time: "The emperor sent it." "I ate imperial grain. Shusheng Yu said that the word Taicang was written on the grain bag, and the emperor took it out of his own granary..."

When the people heard the emperor's words, they all looked at them in awe. The Zhang brothers became emperor's guards for a moment.

Their dilapidated yard was even more crowded. The third brother handed over the settlement fee he had obtained to him. But Zhang Da looked at his fifth brother quietly, deliberately shaking the copper coins in his pocket in front of everyone, and even opened the cloth bucket. He then deliberately said loudly: "The emperor has issued an imperial edict, and we have made contributions. We are not cloth, we have to send silk, gold and silver!"

Everyone was in an uproar.

As for the risk of forgery, Zhang Da was not conscious yet, and in this village, who knew about the emperor?

Zhang Dao looked like the generals in the military camp, clasped his fists and said, "The official treats the soldiers well, how dare we die if we fail?"

Old Man Zhang, who was covered in tattered and thin, had his tone changed when he talked to his neighbors, and he looked like a respected fellow villager. Everyone was very polite in speaking, saying Zhang Yuanwai one by one.

Zhang Da noticed that the little girl and wife watching in the crowd were blushing when they looked at him. Less than half a month later, he felt as if he had been reincarnated.
