(Thank you for the reward from the captain of the Inspector, Xie Lu Xie for your support!) ）

Beginning in February, the recruits were successively sent to the barracks in the states and counties of the Qin Domain. In April, veterans had already begun to return home from military camps in various places, and young veterans could be seen everywhere on the roads and rivers being sent back to their hometowns by military officers.

As soon as I experienced the pain of sending young children to enlist in the army and separate, many military families immediately began to rejoice, and the joy of reunion was experienced. Most of the veterans returned to their hometowns with joy on their faces, but some soldiers were used to the life in the barracks and were reluctant to leave the barracks. However, although they have been discharged from the army, many soldiers are not worried about their future lives. The states and counties had already begun to arrange future work for them long before they returned.

For all states and counties, veterans are a group of very popular guys and endearing. They are all strong guys, and they can't join the army if they can't be healthy. Moreover, in the army for a few years, even ordinary soldiers have experienced three years of tempering, and they have learned a lot of skills. At least two thousand words in three years can be read and written, and they can also do some arithmetic, and even some other paperwork. Moreover, these veterans basically learned two or three trades in the army, driving cars, repairing and so on.

For the local government, the use of veterans is not only in response to the call of the King of Qin, but also very appropriate. Whether it is in the township office, or in the county yamen, or even the township soldiers, militia groups, unity soldiers, urban management teams, security teams, tax collectors, etc., they are the most suitable people. Even physical education teachers at all levels of schools are suitable candidates. So much so that now. This period of annual discharge. The province goes to the state, county and township. From the government to schools, and even those private caravans, workshops, etc., they are all staring at these young men who have retired from the army, ready to compete for these "talents".

And a small number of veterans, veteran non-commissioned officers, veteran officers, and a small number of other veterans are competing fiercely every year.

The April sun has begun to gain momentum, and people who bask in the sun at noon are a little nostalgic for the warm winter sun.

The men, women and children of Red Fox Village are rushing to plant spring wheat by mid-April, and the weather south of the Great Wall is warm, and winter wheat is usually planted in autumn and September and October. But in the north, just outside the Great Wall, the weather is cold, and spring wheat can only be planted in March and April, when the weather is warmer. By the time of July, the harvest was made.

In the past, Red Fox Village did not grow wheat, or they only cultivated a small amount of wheat, mainly grazing. Today, however, most of the villagers are Han Chinese, who are more accustomed to farming than grazing. In addition, the government has already divided the land. Everyone's pasture and pasture have also been divided, so there are fewer cattle and sheep grazing. For example, Agulang's family also began to plant wheat.

They have a lot of land, and the Great Wall of Rehe is sparsely populated, and everyone can get a large piece of land. Fortunately, they all have a lot of cattle and horses, and they don't need much manpower. However, for Agu Lang and other Xi people who have just started farming, this is still a very hard and difficult thing. Fortunately, the county's agricultural technology station has special personnel to guide them in the field, and there are those very advanced agricultural tools they have guided and built, and everything is much better.

Aguro kept taking off the water bag from his waist to drink, and since early in the morning, he had already emptied the water bag twice. I drank a stomach full of water, and now when I walk around, I can hear the sound of my stomach shutting with water. But after a while, his mouth was dry again, his clothes were soaked, his face was covered with sweat, his ears were buzzing, his throat was sticky, and he couldn't speak. The three women in the family, all covering their faces in headscarves, were helping, and large beads of sweat rolled in the cleavage in the middle of Alia's full breasts.

Agulang's eldest daughter-in-law's cheeks were flushed, and sweat soaked through her clothes.

His eldest son drove the oxen in front of him, and walked along the long field with the plough, sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water, and his clothes were sticking to his body, and he was very annoyed.

"What do we want to farm for, we are not farmers, we are herdsmen, we herd cattle and sheep and horses, we are warriors!" The eldest son shouted angrily at his father, who brought him water.

"Forget it, now we are no longer Xi people, we are Qin people, we all have to get used to this kind of life in the future. Look at the Han people next to you, they all live like this, since the King of Qin has allocated land to us, then let's farm the land, raise cattle and horses, and now it's not so convenient. Fixed-point grazing and captivity, the same needs to be planted grass, it is better to not be able to feed these cattle and sheep. ”

"Even if we want to plant, we don't need to plant so much, hundreds of acres of land, planting a season, our whole family can eat for many years. Just planting a few dozen acres is completely enough. What's more, our family also raises cattle and sheep, and we work as errands in the county, don't we also have a salary, so we can plant a little less. ”

"Don't talk so much nonsense, hurry up!" The old centurion glared at his son dissatisfied, and turned to go back.

When the eldest daughter-in-law waited for her husband to plow to her side, she shouted, "Oh, don't do it." ”

"Wait, finish plowing this hill."

"Let's wait for the afternoon to cool down and come back to plowing, it's too hot, I'm not going to do it!"

She stood there, her thin dress wet with sweat, the two lumps of flesh on her chest growing fuller and straighter, and she gasped as if her husband were pulling the plough instead of the two oxen.

"Why don't we go to the pond over there and wash it first."

"There's still a long way to go, at least two places."

"Let's just ride a horse, and we'll be back and forth in a while." The wife said.

The husband glanced at his father behind him with some concern, but looking at his wife's expectant look, he wiped his face and said, "Let's go, ride a horse." ”

They rode away, and Alia hurriedly dropped her tools behind her, and ran ahead, where she untied a horse and rode it as skillfully as her young husband, and chased after her.

Old Agu Lang watched the three of them run away from behind, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The three of them rode on that road in the field, far away. There was a cloud of smoke. It is rushing along the dirt road.

"The man is running so fast on horseback!" The eldest daughter-in-law shouted.

The sergeant narrowed his eyes. Staring at the cloud of smoke, through the dust and mist, the silhouette of the horseman was faintly visible. After a while, it became clearer and clearer.

"Running at such a speed, this horse can't bear it, and it will have to run bad in a while."

He frowned, rested his right hand on his hat, and looked at it carefully. He had clearly seen the man on horseback. He bent over and rode his horse at a galloping speed, with three small red flags planted on his back.

"Stagecoach Courier!" The sergeant of the township soldiers quickly recognized it, and hurriedly beckoned his wife and sister-in-law to make way out, these post messengers with three small red flags could not be stopped, even if they were hit and killed, not only in vain, but also possibly to have a lawsuit, which he learned in the township soldiers.

The post messenger sped past and shouted, "Yellow alert, yellow alert!" ”

A cloud of dust kicked up by a stagecoach hit his face. He watched the departing messenger, and his mind was a little confused.

In the village soldiers. He learned many military orders in the Qin army, such as the urgent post horse at the post station could not be stopped, otherwise he would be hit and injured and he would be held responsible. In addition, such as yellow alert, red alert these. The red alert is the mobilization of the whole people, and all the young and strong must be armed and rushed to the county to assemble, which generally means that the enemy invades and needs the people to help defend. It is even possible that the Qin Domain encountered a major crisis and needed to be mobilized to fight.

The yellow alert, on the other hand, is only to mobilize solidarity soldiers, township soldiers, and militia groups, as well as newly retired veterans.

He stood there stunned for a moment, looking at the vast fields under the sun. Then, the united soldiers and village soldiers who were busy cultivating the fields, and even the young people who had just been discharged from the army, began to ride their horses and run towards the village from all directions.

In the fields, on the road, these township soldiers and militia groups rode their horses to raise clouds of dust and mist, and after they ran onto the road, they galloped away in groups, dragging a big yellow tail of dust, and ran towards the village.

All the township soldiers, solidarity soldiers, militia groups, and those young people who had just returned from the army left their jobs behind and rushed back to their villages.

He saw his father, Agulang, turn on his horse and run towards the village, waving to him all the way.

"What's wrong?" Alia and her sister-in-law screamed and looked at him in horror.

He suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "Yellow alert, emergency assembly order, I have to go." He turned his horse's head, ran back to the place where the field had been parked, jumped off his horse, put on the cloak he had taken off when he had worked, and mounted his horse again, following his father, and vanishing into the dust and mist like the men.

The drying field in front of the township office in the village was densely packed with gray people.

Rows of horses, soldiers' equipment, and auxiliaries wearing village soldiers, solidarity soldiers, militia groups, and even uniforms without epaulettes and badges, and hats or hats, all looked a little heavy and solemn.

As auxiliaries, they generally only train during the slack time, and they take turns to train. In the past two years, when they were not fighting, they were trained for three months a year, and they had not gone out again for two years, so that everyone was somewhat accustomed to this kind of life. Now all of a sudden, the yellow alert sounded again, and the emergency assembly order immediately worried them.

The shops in the village market were closed, and the few small township officials in the township office who were not in the stream were full of sadness and worries. On the side of the street, there were women who had changed their costumes.

On everyone's lips, there are five words, emergency mobilization order.

Next to him, there was a bearded sergeant of the unity soldier arguing with a third-class soldier of a township soldier: "Nothing will happen, it is estimated that it is an exercise, the drill is clear, we will be back in a few days." ”

"Why do you need such a big battle for the exercise, I think it's going to be a war."

"Nonsense, didn't there be a drill two years ago, that time was no less than this time, but then it wasn't nothing."

"Who said that there was nothing wrong, that time it was not to fight Chengde, and then the King of Qin personally led the army to the Bohai Sea. Maybe Chengde wanted to blow up the stab while the King of Qin was away, or maybe the tribal army on the Bohai Sea was fierce? ”

"Phew, shut your crow's mouth, you don't have to think about it, now, the marshals of Chengde Town have been detained in Yanjing City, and the King of Qin is going in person on the Bohai Sea, not to mention, who can be the opponent of the King of Qin and his old man."

The quarrel between the two of them attracted a group of people to talk about it, and an old man said excitedly on the side: "Let's fight a war, it has nothing to do with us, they fight them, and our crops have not been planted yet." ”

"Yes, you see, the whole village has called here. If you miss the solar term, then this year's harvest will be gone. ”

"The township chief said that it was an order from above, and a yellow alert was issued, so gather everyone.

On the side of the township office, according to the differences between the unity soldiers, the township soldiers, the militia, and the new veterans, four plots of land were divided, and different people automatically stood on the part to which they belonged.

Soon, all the people on the roster were counted, and several officials from the township office began to mount their horses and take the soldiers from the village market to the county. Although they didn't know what was waiting for them in front of them, these auxiliaries and veterans were not afraid of panic, but instead followed the people next to them along the way and made all kinds of jokes, which was extremely relaxed.
