"Have you all arrived?" Village Chief Wang Lao was on rattan canes and turned his head to Village Chief Li Shugen.

Li Shugen stretched his neck and looked left and right for a while, and shouted in his loud voice: "Have all the families come, are there any who haven't arrived?" ”

"It's all here, it's all here." There is a noise below, basically everyone already knows what is the reason for calling the villagers this time, I heard that it is to draw Ding to assemble for training, many people are worried, most of them have failed to harvest this year, and each family is making up their minds to go to the vicinity to do some short-term work, or go out to sea to fish and earn some food. With this draw, a strong laborer is gone.

"General Wang, everyone is here." Old Village Chief Wang turned his head to the officer with a knife who closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

The officer opened his eyes, glanced at the villagers under the locust tree, nodded, and said to the long-robed scribe, "Officer Zhang Kongmu, you can announce the emperor's edict." ”

Kong Muguan, surnamed Zhang, nodded, walked in front of everyone, took a silk book from his bosom, opened it slowly, and chanted it loudly.

"Be cautious about guarding the frontier, so be prepared, train the armor soldiers, so there is a ban on violence, a general code for generations, and a national eternal map. …… In the year of natural disasters and famines, the people famine, Pang Xun's remnants, selfless virtue, invaded Yizhou County, plundered villages, and never forgot to learn. And this is a square town to prevent border suppression, and as for emergency, it is advisable to rescue. Now the army is entangled, unite the soldiers, make sure that the head and tail are guarded, the heart is the same, the punishment of the net, the momentum of the horns, the poor Kou can not commit, there is no place to return, the horses are trained, the provocation is moved, the field is accumulated, the enemy is sought, the battle can be expected, and the victory is in. The edict ordered all parts of Henan Province to draw one ding from fifteen households, gather in each county, and still lead it, so as to wait for it. The soldiers who wanted to be armoured were then supported, planted by public and private, and ploughed and fought. Each should be disciplined, and the vice is embraced. ”

After reading a large section of the emperor's edict, the scribe took out another notice, but it was a general order from Song Wei, the envoy of the Ziqing Ping Lu Army who controlled the five states in the eastern part of Henan Province.

"Ziqing Pinglu, the ground is connected to the border kou, although the regiment trains the soldiers, it must always be safe. If it is heard that Pang Xun's remnants have returned, it is advisable to order Qi, Qing, Zi, Lai, Deng, etc. to examine the situation, double the defense, when it is necessary to be sharp, to wait for work, when the thief road is the key military county, it is necessary to increase the number of soldiers and horses, and let it be accommodating and disposed of one by one. The Lord will be the following, if he catches the heart and cares about everything, let him reward him more; If the abolition of officials is slow to steal, and those who are obedient will be strictly constitutional. He still instructed the envoys to take up their posts and deputies. He should build the fortress and build the unfinished, and order it to be completed as soon as possible, so that there is no delay, and it is not ready to be defended. Its soldiers are recruited dangerously, called athletes, given spring and winter clothes, and family rations; When you become a common person, you are called a group practice, you return in spring and autumn, you chase in winter and summer, and you are given a body of food and pickles every day. ”

The scribe recited the proclamation like a song for a long time before he finished reading the two proclamations. However, after he studied hard for most of the day, the villagers below were almost dozing off, and few of them understood half of the sentence at all.

"Brother Xiucai, what is the white-bearded old man thinking?" Wang Xiaoshi, who was beside Li Jing, asked him with an ignorant expression.

"The imperial court wants to draw Ding to train troops to prevent bandits, and fifteen households will draw one Ding." Li Jing replied, but there was an uncontrollable excitement in his heart. The two general orders only said one thing, that is, to send strong men to enlist in the army and form regiments for training. And the reason for the draw is also said, that is, the remnants of Pang Xun, who rebelled from Guilin to Xuzhou four years ago, began to move again, and the imperial court transferred soldiers to form a united army as a reserve force.

It's just that Li Jing deduced a result from these two general decrees, that is, the so-called Pang Xun's remnants have made a big fuss, otherwise it would be impossible for the central court to issue such an edict. If it is really just some remnants, it is enough to order the dispatch of troops and horses from all over the country to suppress bandits, so why do you need to draw 1 out of 15 to form a regimental training.

It's not simple, and if something goes wrong, it's a demon. If his prediction was correct, it must have been the beginning of the Great Famine due to this year's catastrophe. The people who can't survive will definitely have to wander around, and some careerists and even bandits and bandits will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. The fifteenth year of the imperial court was drawn to one ding, not only to form a reserve army for preparation, but also to draw salaries at the bottom of the kettle, and to draw out many young and strong people one step in advance, so as not to be thieves.

It should be true, according to Li Jing's knowledge of later history, because of locust plagues and droughts in the Tang Dynasty, the harvest in the eastern part of Henan Province was first lost, and then the price of grain skyrocketed, and then the hungry people fled everywhere, and then bandits flocked to various places. Then, next year, Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao, the two biggest thieves, will start an incident. Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao's move was a major outbreak of the late Tang Dynasty, and the original Mars should have started at this time.

The civil uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty will begin, and the Tang Dynasty will soon enter the last few decades of the stormy period. The peasant army will flow to fight in all directions, and the last balance of the Tang Dynasty will be broken, and the balance that is barely maintained by the mutual checks and balances between the various feudal towns will be completely broken, and the era of division and melee will begin.

Troubled times, a real troubled times are coming.

People in troubled times are not as good as dogs, but there are heroes in troubled times!

Do you want to be a dog or a hero?

Li Jing once thought about using his knowledge to make a small voice, get a small business, and live freely in this coastal area. But after experiencing the disaster of the unjustified prison that had just passed, he completely woke up. This is the late Tang Dynasty, and this is not the prosperous era.

In the troubled world of the late Tang Dynasty, human life was not as good as a dog, and the Huang Chao Army and Caizhou thieves were all in the dark era of using people as military food, and it was impossible to be alone. Wang Liang's dog thing is just colluding with a small sesame storehouser, and he can easily put himself to death. If it weren't for the amnesty, he might have become a few skeletons outside Chishan Town at this time.

Putting life and death in the hands of others should never be. Your own destiny should be in your own hands.

In this troubled world, how to control your own destiny?

The king of chaos is the king, the big fist is the boss, and the force of soldiers and horses is the most powerful and core force in this world.

Only by being a soldier and becoming a soldier can you have the opportunity to control your own destiny.

Li Jing turned his head, just in time to see Gui Niang and Wan'er standing by the side of the Han family, and behind them, several other members of the Li family also arrived. Looking at this family, he felt reluctance for a moment in his heart, but the next moment, he immediately strengthened his thoughts. Staying, it is just a moment of tranquility, and no one can be good alone in the tide of the troubled times of the late Tang Dynasty.

In troubled times, only by protecting and strengthening oneself can we have the opportunity to protect the people around us.

Before the villagers could understand the contents of the notice, the scribe had already brought a clay pot and shouted loudly to everyone: "There are 158 households in Wangli Village, and according to the method of drawing one ding from 15 households, there are a total of 158 pebbles in this clay pot. Of the 158 pebbles, only 10 were impregnated with ink. Each of you sends one person to touch a pebble, and the ten households that touch the ink-dyed pebbles must each send one to enlist in the army! ”

All the villagers understood the meaning, and no one went up to touch it for a while.

"I'm coming!" Li Jing shouted, squeezed out of the crowd, and was the first to step forward, and in the midst of everyone's exclamations, he put his hand into the clay pot.
