Chapter 73 Recruiting soldiers, forcibly conscripting them into the army?

Zui Feng Tower

The guests are noisy and drinking glasses!

Wei Hong and Deng Haisheng found a seat by the window on the second floor.

A table of good wine and food was ordered, and the two of them drank together comfortably.

"Come on, come on, you've had a great time killing today, I'll give you a toast, Master Deng!"

"You kid, you are really evil!"

Deng Haisheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

However, he was still very satisfied with the apprentice he had accepted out of nowhere.

Wei Hong knows etiquette and discipline, knows how to advance and retreat, and kills people without blinking an eye. He is really a good material for being a natural executioner.

Deng Haisheng just brought him into this industry, and he was able to win his favor without any effort at all. It was very cost-effective to say the least.

"Come on, keep drinking!"

"I won't come home until I get drunk today!"

The two of them continued to drink and exchange cups!

It’s a pleasure to eat meat and drink wine!

But not long after drinking, Wei Hong's eyes were attracted by the movement on the street.

It turned out that a group of soldiers set up a table at the street corner with great fanfare and posted an imperial list. There were also several strong men with loud voices shouting around.

"The country is in crisis today. The rebels are rebelling against the king. The country is in danger of losing its eggs. The people are in danger of falling. If the country has no generals, how can we call home?"

"At this time of crisis, the imperial court has decided to recruit troops to fight against the traitors. General Meng Beiyue will be sent south to quell the rebellion. We are now recruiting people with lofty ideals to fight and defend the country."

"Those who join the army will be exempted from taxes for three years and receive generous military pay every month. If they have meritorious service in battle, they will be granted the title of marquis or prime minister. If there are casualties, they will be generously compensated!"

The shouts immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

Passers-by on the street stopped to watch, and soon they were surrounded by people.

"Is this recruiting soldiers? Good guy, the recruitment has come to the capital of God?" Deng Haisheng put down his wine bowl and cursed: "These princes in the court are really stupid. They are embarrassed wherever they recruit soldiers. Why did the Zhou Dynasty last for 800 years? Are you still in embarrassment to defeat several rebel kings?"

"Master Deng, be careful!" Wei Hong reminded casually: "Nowadays, the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty is turbulent and turbulent. There are barbarian attacks outside and anti-king rebellions inside. The various state capitals are suffering from disasters and have no time to take care of themselves. There is no way to send soldiers to quell the rebellion. From the capital of God, It’s normal to temporarily recruit troops to go south.”

"This little brother is right. The imperial court has been in rebellion for a long time and has been unable to send troops. Now it is difficult to recruit General Meng. What can we do if we don't recruit troops at short notice?"

"The black-armored army is still guarding the border. The Northern Di and the Southern Barbarians are watching with eager eyes. The border troops are unable to send people anywhere!"

"No, I heard that the imperial court is planning to mobilize 12 patrol battalions from Shendu this time and recruit 500,000 new soldiers to go south to train while marching!"

"Alas! This is why they only issue imperial lists to recruit troops in the capital of God. If it were elsewhere..."

The diners in Zuifeng Tower were talking endlessly.

Wei Hong naturally understood the key to this, which was that only in the capital city of the gods could you recruit soldiers with dignity. If you wanted to recruit strong men in other places, you would have to forcefully recruit them.

"It seems that the situation in Dazhou is really not optimistic." Wei Hong murmured in a low voice.

"Whatever, if the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up." Deng Haisheng took a sip of wine and said gloatingly: "No matter how chaotic the world is, it has nothing to do with us ordinary people. I guess not many people are willing to go to recruit soldiers. In the end, The imperial court will still find each big family to share the money. "

"Too!"

Wei Hong nodded in agreement.

The twists and turns are actually tacit.

Even though the imperial court spends a lot of money to recruit soldiers, few people dare to go. Eventually, the pressure will be put on the powerful and wealthy households, forcing them to provide money, effort, people and food. The wealthy households will be forced to turn around and exploit the common people. This is class. The underlying logic of domination.

The recruiting troops are noisy in the streets!

One after another, people were attracted to sign up.

However, most of the people are still very clear-headed. The imperial court is recruiting cannon fodder. Only fools go there. Be careful to take the money but not spend it.

"Silence, silence!" At this time, a tall military general roared: "How can you not want to serve the country while enjoying the blessings of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Now that the national crisis is facing us, it is a good time for men of our generation to stand out. Those who have eggs can fight with me. Rebellion and kill the enemy, follow General Meng on the expedition, and I will protect you all from becoming a general!"

"Now, each person who registers can receive 30 taels of housing allowance. After joining the army, he will receive 3 taels of military pay per month, equipped with armor, cotton-padded clothes, and swords. He can also practice advanced martial arts for free, and secret medicines will be distributed every month."

"Our founding ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a military soldier. Eight hundred years ago, he risked his own life to build this unparalleled foundation. Don't you want to imitate the ancients and make contributions?"

In the crowd, many young men were excited and excited!

Setting up a family and spending military pay is not very attractive.

But free learning of advanced martial arts and various secret medicines is really exciting.

We know that it is not easy for civilians to practice martial arts. Who doesn’t want to become stronger and change their destiny?

At this time, if you shout a few slogans about sacrificing your own life to achieve great achievements, young people will inevitably make a choice in their passion.

"I'll go!"

"Count me in!"

"Made, what's the point of death? I'm not afraid of being poor!"

More and more people stood up and lined up to sign up.

Wei Hong frowned and looked at the general who had just spoken, recognizing his identity - Meng Kaishan!

This man once had a fight with him on the painting boat, and he suffered a lot of humiliation at that time. He didn't expect to meet him here.

"Meng Kaishan? Meng Beiyue?" Wei Hong was surprised: "Could this guy also be a member of the Meng family? That's right, this surname is not common. There are thousands of disciples in the Meng family's side branches, and it's not surprising to have some blood connection. This time, General Meng will definitely send family members to follow him."

Thinking!

Meng Kaishan below also raised his head and looked over.

The two looked at each other, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Hehe!"

Meng Kaishan raised a playful sneer at the corner of his mouth.

He waved his hand directly to signal other soldiers to continue to register.

He took two people and went straight upstairs, attracting everyone's attention.

"General, do you want to drink tea?"

The waiter nodded and bowed to greet him.

Meng Kaishan waved his hand impatiently and pushed him away, and stood in front of Wei Hong and Deng Haisheng's table with his people. The huge figure that looked down on him brought extreme oppression, and the aura he exuded silently was even more suffocating.

"Blood Refining Realm?"

Wei Hong frowned slightly.

He sensed a threat from him that he had never felt in the Skin Refining Realm.

The last time the two fought, Meng Kaishan was still in the Perfect Skin Refining Realm, but now he could pose a threat to Wei Hong, proving that he had not been in vain during this period of time, and had obviously broken through to the Blood Refining Realm.

"Wei Hong, right?" Meng Kaishan said with a fake smile: "Meng is now recruiting you as a soldier of the Rebellion Suppression Army as a lieutenant of the temporary recruitment of soldiers in the Rebellion Suppression Army. Go down and register now!"

"Hiss!"

The sound of people sucking in cold air suddenly rang out all around.

No matter how stupid everyone was, they could see that there was a conflict between the two.

Meng Kaishan clearly wanted to rely on his status to forcibly recruit Wei Hong as a soldier!
