580. Chapter 580: The Choice
Anding County, Liangzhou, where the 500,000 troops newly recruited by Guanzhong gathered, added a lot of vitality to this desolate county.
In order to lead the 500,000 army, Zhong Xuan and Chen Jing led Li Le and Han Xian to maintain the order of the army.
These were just new recruits who had not yet been trained. When they heard that they were going to war, many people were a little uneasy.
On this day, most of the lieutenant generals and colonels were summoned and went to the commander's camp to discuss matters.
The meeting lasted for a long time, and the generals returned to their respective teams with complicated faces and began to inform the soldiers of the content of today's meeting.
A commander summoned his men and said to them, "Do you have a grudge in your heart when you have been summoned by your lord to serve as soldiers? ”
Soldiers, you look at me, and I look at you, but none of them are the first to speak. It's just that from the expressions of a few people, the tun chief still saw some clues.
Seeing the performance of those people, the tun chief was immediately furious.
He stepped forward and kicked a man with an angry face to the ground, and scolded loudly: "If it weren't for the lord to shelter us from the wind and rain, how could you live and work in peace and contentment in your hometown?" ”
"Now that the lord needs you, but you are all a little unhappy in your hearts, have you forgotten who gave you your current life?"
"Without the lord, you would have been starved to death, killed, and ruined by the wives and daughters in the family!"
The last sentence was almost shouted out by the tun chief, and the man who was kicked to the ground by the tun chief was still angry. After hearing Tun Chang's words, he immediately lowered his head in shame.
The tun chief ignored the man, but continued: "I don't understand the big truth, I only know that it is a troubled time now, and there is chaos everywhere. ”
"If we don't serve the Lord and wait for others to break through the city, will we still have the life we have now?"
When a hundred recruits heard this, they immediately lowered their heads.
Being a soldier in troubled times is not a good thing, but it is even more difficult to accept that your hometown has suffered the scourge of war and caused the destruction of your family.
The tun chief glanced at everyone and said disdainfully: "I know your thoughts, aren't you afraid of losing your life on the battlefield?" ”
When the recruits heard the words of the commander, many of them suddenly turned red, and a group of bloody young people suddenly shouted: "Everyone is carrying a head on two shoulders, who is afraid of whom in the battlefield fight?" We're not afraid! ”
Hearing the words of those young people, the tun chief showed a playful smile on his face and said, "Don't be afraid now, don't be scared to pee your pants when you go to the battlefield!" ”
The young people who shouted were immediately furious, and they were about to retort, but they were rudely interrupted by the tun chief: "If you are afraid of death, it is not your mouth that has the final say, now the lord wants to recruit elite troops to fight for him in the south and the north, and those who are not afraid of death and want to make contributions will sign up!" ”
"I made it clear in advance that this time it was completely voluntary, and if you are afraid of death, don't participate. Those who do not sign up will not be discriminated against, but will be left in the counties and counties of Liangzhou. ”
"Even if you don't want to be separated from your family, you can take them over and settle down. The government will reimburse the cost of the journey along the way, and if your family can completely abandon the family inheritance, they will be allocated double the land here. ”
"Those inheritances that you have abandoned will also be recycled by the government at market prices."
Tun Chang's words undoubtedly caused an uproar among the recruits. Many of these young people who have been requisitioned are newlyweds, or they are old and young, and they are reluctant to have relatives at home.
After they were conscripted as soldiers, they were worried that they would not be able to return to the battlefield in the future, and they didn't think that this time they would just be in Tuntian instead of going into battle to fight.
What's more, he was able to bring his family over and put down roots in the local area. This is also a great good thing for the soldiers.
The Han Dynasty has been in turmoil for many years, and many people have left their homes. Even after the situation in Guanzhong calmed down, few people returned to their homes.
Most of these conscripted soldiers were displaced people from other states and counties who poured into Wen Zhao's rule, and although they have now settled down, they do not have a strong sense of belonging to the local area.
Of course, if Wen Zhao directly ordered the people to move to Liangzhou, even if these people did not have a sense of belonging to their new home, they would definitely be reluctant.
The situation is different now, and after these people were conscripted into the army, they have always felt a little uneasy in their hearts. Now I suddenly learned that not only did I not have to go to the battlefield, but I could also take my family over to live.
The most important thing is that the government reimburses all the travel expenses of the family, and even the family's property can be sold to the government fairly, which is already very good.
Moreover, their border tuntian this time is not a matter of three or two years, it will take ten years. Ten years is too long, and it is indeed very difficult to endure without relatives by your side.
Therefore, after hearing the news, many people couldn't help but cheer.
Although this military camp was a military operation, in addition to simple drills, they could also go home to reunite with their relatives and take care of the newly distributed fields in Liangzhou.
In this way, life is not very difficult.
Of course, not everyone is willing to let their families migrate, and a small number of people are silent.
Keeping everyone's performance silently in mind, the tun chief suddenly roared and said: "As I said before, only if you don't want to join the army, don't want to become a real elite division, and don't want to be a person with a sharp blade in the hands of the lord, you choose this path." ”
"If you have ideals and want to make a contribution in the troubled times, take up your weapons and stand on my left!"
"Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind? As long as you dare to fight, you will eventually gain unimaginable status and wealth in this troubled world! ”
Speaking of this, the tun chief stared at everyone with burning eyes, and said in a rather seductive tone: "Your future is in your own hands. ”
"Whether you are willing to work hard all your life facing the loess with your back to the sky, or dare to gamble your life and win a brilliant future, it all depends on your choice today!"
Tun Chang's words made the scene silent.
After a long time, the hot-blooded young man shouted: "For the sake of glory and wealth, fame and fortune, in order to become a sharp blade in the hands of the lord, do it!" ”
After speaking, he walked to the left side of the tun chief without hesitation.
There are not a few people with blood in their hearts, and there are also many soldiers who try to change their lives. Moreover, the treatment of the elite soldiers in Guanzhong is indeed very good, even if he is injured and retired, he can become a small landlord.
As the man moved, more and more soldiers rushed to the left of the commander. It didn't take long for only half of the soldiers to remain.
When the tun chief saw this scene, a bright smile immediately bloomed on his face.
