"However, we must guard against man-made disasters!"

Dong Ce's words changed, and his voice was high-pitched and passionate: "Jiannu entered Kouxuanda in July and August this year, and looted countless castles and villages and towns in the county, but wherever the city was broken, the old and weak women and children were all killed, and the strong men and women were all taken away and taken to the bitter cold land of Liaodong as slaves and maids, and suffered for generations. D-M The grain in the field, the family's belongings, and the savings of several generations have been swept away! After this catastrophe, the land of my northern Jin Dynasty is ten rooms and nine empty, the villages and towns are barren and abandoned, and the bones are everywhere! ”

"And this year Jiannu has tasted the sweetness, do you think they will come next year? The official said that they will! Moreover, around my rock fort, the land is fertile, the products are abundant, and the grain is abundant, and anyone with long eyes can see it, and even one with long ears can hear it! When Jiannu gets the news, he will definitely not let go of our Rock Fort! ”

Hearing Dong Ce's words, the people below were suddenly in chaos, their faces all showed frightened looks, looking at each other, and what they found on other people's faces was full of panic and fear.

The name of Jiannu can fight has long been spread throughout the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, and according to folk rumors, they are all eight feet tall, with a waist circumference of ten feet, green faces and fangs, and bloodthirsty and man-eating demons and monsters, which are extremely exaggerated. As soon as the generals and soldiers heard the name of Jiannu, they did not dare to face the battle at all, but fled thousands of miles away. When the gentry and the common people heard the name of Jiannu, they were even more afraid of it and trembled. The combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners before entering the customs is indeed strong, but it is not to this extent, it is really the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the military equipment is lax, and the army's combat effectiveness is extremely weak, so the Jiannu of the contrast is so strong.

It's all about tiger color change.

As for the veracity of these words, they did not doubt them at all. At this time, the common people trusted the words of knowledgeable officials, basically gentry, officials, and scholars, almost to the point of blind obedience. Say whatever you say, without doubting the truth. Not to mention, this Dong Ce Dong is a powerful person who personally cut off the heads of more than a dozen Jiannu, what he said, can there be a fake?

In fact, Dong Ce really didn't tell the truth. According to his memory, Chongzhen built a slave in the seventh year of Kou Xuanda, robbed the silver, grabbed the woman, grabbed the grain, and grabbed the soft, but the second year was the eighth year of Chongzhen, it was Huang Taiji who finally ruthlessly integrated the major forces within the Jiannu, and the year when Jianji ascended the throne was not to enter the Kou.

If it is not expected, Chongzhen's eight-year northern Jin will be spent in peace and stability, and it will be a rare year of recovery.

But how could he tell the truth?

"So what do we do? Armies everywhere have the responsibility of defending the territory, and they will easily not care about other people's affairs! If you want to live, you can only save yourself, only protect yourself! The official of Jiannu has also seen it, and the official has also killed it, and he has killed a lot! They are also human beings, and they hurt when they are injured, and if they are seriously injured, they will die, and if they are cut, they will bleed! He took a dozen or so brothers with him and killed a dozen of them! What is there to be afraid of? ”

Dong Ce's sonorous and powerful voice resounded throughout the university: "Therefore, this official is here today to announce that after the 15th, the recruitment of soldiers will officially begin and training will begin. ”

Suddenly hearing the news, the people only felt that their heads were blinded, and suddenly it was quiet, and many people looked at Dong Ce blankly before they could react.

Dong Ce no longer spoke, but scanned the crowd with a calm face, waiting for them to digest this order.

There was a whisper in the crowd, saying everything, but most of them had reluctance on their faces.

Originally, Dong Ce wanted to change them all to military households subordinate to Panshi Fort, but in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, especially in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, they were successively plagued by rogues and slaves, and the household registration system had become quite loose. You only need to report the roster after forming an army, and you will be paid according to the number of people, and it doesn't matter whether it is a military household or a civilian household.

These people were told that they would be conscripted into the army when they first arrived, but at that time they had no choice, under the threat of starvation, crying and shouting that they wanted to be accepted, whether they were slaves or servants, let alone soldiers and soldiers. But then no one mentioned it, so I slowly forgot about it, and Dong Ce said it coldly at this time, and he was suddenly a little caught off guard. In the early Ming Dynasty, military households were very popular, and the households wanted to become military members, but in the middle and late periods, the military households lived miserably, and their social status also declined rapidly, which was worse than the beggars and lowly households.

Everyone sees being a soldier as a daunting path.

Dong Ce's face gradually became unsightly, the passionate agitation was over, and the big stick should be beaten down, he said with a calm face: "It is the supreme glory to be a soldier and defend your homeland. Besides, I just want you to be soldiers, but I don't turn you into soldiers, why do you all pull the faces of dead people? There is no army to resist the Jiannu rogues, waiting to be killed and robbed in the future, and be plundered to a bitter cold foreign land as slaves? ”

"If you don't want to be a soldier, you can do it!"

Dong Ce sneered: "Rock Fort does not support idlers, after the completion of this project, food will no longer be distributed every day, if you want to live, you will find a way to live!" And if you are selected to join the army, you no longer need to worry about yourself, just practice every day, eat and live in the public school, have several sets of clothes every year, eat in the canteen, eat full, and see meat. In addition, eight buckets of grain are distributed every month for the family's use. ”

"As for the ...... who can't be chosen," Dong Ce smiled faintly, but didn't say anything more.

It's just that this kind of implication is not made, so it does not move, and the unknown created is even more frightening. If he simply said it, even if it was the worst outcome, it wouldn't be so scary.

The second is a human being, Dong Ce's speculation and grasp of people's psychology is undoubtedly in place, and with his words, the people's emotions and thinking are constantly changing. When Dong Ce finished saying this, what they were thinking about was not whether they wanted to be a soldier or not, but a thought suddenly popped up: If I am not selected, what should I do? If no more food is distributed, will not the whole family starve to death?

This thought arose, and suddenly there was a great fear in my heart, as if the feeling of hunger that had been lost for a long time after coming to the Rock Fort also hit me suddenly, and my stomach couldn't help but feel a burst of inexplicable convulsions.

Because Dong Ce turned being a soldier into a good choice, in this way, it was not Dong Ce begging or forcing them to be soldiers, but they begged to be soldiers.

At this time, they suddenly realized that they had lived a stable life these days, how could they become in the midst of blessings and not know the blessings? Who gives the good days now?

In fact, people's consciousness at this time was really very low, and it could not be compared with that of China in the thirties and forties of the 20th century, after the May Fourth Movement and ideological trends.

But I don't know how many people have already made up their minds to decide: "I must be a soldier, I must be chosen." ”

Not for anything else, but for yourself and your loved ones to live!

Li Gui and the others looked at Dong Ce with admiration, the heart is an adult, this speech, this skill, are all clever, who is not convinced? Who doesn't care? Who would dare to slack off?

"After the fifteenth day, all the males over the age of thirteen were gathered here and began to select soldiers. Those who chose to stay in the barracks that night, began to eat lunch, and were given clothes, shoes and socks. Now give each person a one-time ration for 15 days, and if you feel that you have hope, you can eat it raw during this time, and you can keep your body alive, so as not to be unable to choose it when you get it, and you will regret it. ”

"Anyone, don't try to evade military service! Once you find out which school-age man didn't show up that day, or if he was selected, he retreated! His voice suddenly became much harsher, and he gritted his teeth and smiled coldly: "The man breaks his leg, confiscates all the land, rolls out of the rock fort, and fends for himself!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but feel a spirit.

Dong Ce explained clearly the reward and punishment measures, and the treatment of this soldier, the people heard that it was really good, much better than the sloppy beggar soldiers outside, and suddenly the expectation and determination in their hearts increased a little.

"Alright, that's it! Don't live up to the expectations of your own officials. ”

Dong Ce returned to the mansion, while Li Gui and the others stayed to arrange the work. Even if the election is held half a month later, this work must not be left behind. Besides, work is also a way to work hard, isn't it?

Dong Ce went back to the front hall, and after he spoke, he couldn't help but have a dry mouth, and wanted to take a sip of tea, but he found that there was no one in the front hall to serve him, and if he wanted to drink tea, he had to go to the backyard to get it. With a wry smile, I had no choice but to give up, thinking about it, now that my family has a big business, it is indeed time to find a few people to serve.

He went out to take a look, the family had settled down, Dong Ce ordered everyone to live here today, fortunately, there were bedding and stoves in the wings, and they could get firewood and light it to keep warm. The walls of the house are all bricks, which are very thick, and the warmth is also very good. He asked Wang Tong to find Uncle Zhou and bring some food. Running all the way, not to mention them, Dong Ce hasn't eaten yet. After a while, Li Gui led a middle-aged man into the Dong Mansion one after the other, and the middle-aged man was Jia Yunxi, the steward of the brick kiln. The brick kiln is in charge of Li Gui, and this Jia steward is also his cheap father-in-law, and the woman Li Gui likes is his daughter. He Li Gui also took some care of him, first operated a chief, and then moved to the position of the manager of the brick kiln. However, Li Gui did not have any respect for this cheap old man who was a few years younger than himself, and he commanded in a low voice: "Until now, not a single brick has been burned, and the eldest man is a little displeased, but I will bear it." Adults don't know how to settle you, it's not for nothing to raise so many people, after you go in, be careful to speak, remember one thing, don't be the big man, saying that this responsibility is his. The big man is right, except for the mistake, it must be that those of us who are subordinates have not understood well, understand? ”
