The recruitment location was selected in the open space next to the county government. Liu Goudan and Chen Shuangxi went to apply for the election together after lunch.

I don’t know if I didn’t come, but I was really shocked when I came.

Oh my god, there are so many people coming here to apply for the recruitment.

Side shoulders against shoulders, feet follow feet.

It may not be possible to complete this situation in one day.

Everyone's enthusiasm is really high.

"Shuangxi, there should be no limit on the number of people in this recruitment. We came so late, we won't be able to recruit them, right?"

"Probably not."

Chen Shuangxi was obviously very unsure.

The long queues were almost outside the yard gate, and even if a person had counted his head, it would take most of the day.

"I've come here, what's the point of tangling about these things."

"Yes, since you come, you will be at ease. What does scholars say, right? I heard from my husband."

"Haha, you went to the village entrance to eavesdrop on Mr. Qiu's teaching again?"

"I don't listen. I don't listen. Mr. Qiu was so loud when he was studying. It was difficult for me to pass by him and I couldn't hear him."

"That's true. By the way, what do Mr. Qiu and his gang often say?"

"I can't remember how much Mr. Qiu said. But the most common sentence Mr. Qiu said was that I once said."

The two of them slowly moved forward while chatting.

Anyway, it seems that they won't be their turn for a while, so there is no need to worry.

"Shuangxi, I haven't asked you yet, why do you want to join the army?"

"I want to join the army to kill the Tartars and avenge my brother."

Speaking of this, Chen Shuangxi's eyes were a little red.

"My brother died tragically at their hands, I want to avenge him!"

Chen Shuangxi clenched his fists and said loudly.

"Well, I'm about the same, but I want to avenge the villagers who died tragically."

Liu Goudan sighed: "Every village that is nearly a hundred miles away is bound to be slaughtered by Tartars. It is not an exaggeration to say that we have a deep feud with them."

"Well, fortunately, the King of Master came here and gave us a chance to stand up and be a human being."

"We Han's sons should stand up and fight, and never kneel down as slaves."

The more they talked, the more they became more and more versatile, and they smiled happily for a moment.

But they soon discovered a problem.

The people who came to the election were basically men with big waists and round waists, and these people had burly tendons.

Even if it is a little worse, the body is still there.

And Liu Goudan and Chen Shuangxi are much different.

They were obviously not fully developed and looked a little thin.

"Hiss, they won't screen according to their figure, right? If that's the case, wouldn't we be wiped out?"

"It shouldn't be true, people should not behave like appearance."

Although the two of them said they didn't know how to do it, they felt a little guilty.

But when we came, we could only wait slowly.

Now even if they want to leave, they can only push them forward by the people behind them.

After a few hours, Liu Goudan finally got in the front line.

There were only a few people left in front of him, and Liu Goudan could even see the officers and soldiers responsible for the registration clearly.

Are these officers and soldiers so young? They should have just joined the army for a while, right?

It seems that the Ming army treats new recruits very well? Giving full opportunities, Liu Goudan only hopes that he can make a living like these officers and soldiers.

In this way, when you return home in glory, you will be able to show off in front of your fellow villagers? Your father will also be shining on his face.

Although it is difficult to make a fortune in the army, at least I have a thought. It is better than digging food in the yellow soil for the rest of my life.

"Next!"

It was soon Liu Goudan's turn? But he was still dreaming freely.

"Next!"

The officers and soldiers in charge of registration seemed a little impatient.

"ah!"

Liu Goudan exclaimed and pulled out of her imagination.

"In? I'm here"

[Haitang Bookstore] "What's the name? Where is the person?"

"Oh, my name is Liu Goudan, I am from Taoyuan County."

"Why come to apply?"

"I want to serve the court."

"At a young age, I'm not very young."

The officer and soldier snorted coldly and said, "Tell the truth."

"It's true, I want to kill the Tartars? Isn't killing the Tartars just to serve the court?"

Liu Goudan explained anxiously.

"It makes sense to hear what you said."

"What you want to sign up for is the new army of the Hu Ben Army? After joining, you will get one or two silver taels of silver every month, but you must obey the command and cannot leave the camp without authorization, otherwise it will be handled according to military law. You can think clearly."

Liu Goudan originally thought that he could take care of food and accommodation in the army, but he didn't expect that he would still have silver. And it was one tael of silver a month, which Liu Goudan never dreamed of.

"I do? I do!"

He quickly replied, afraid that he would repent if he said it too slowly.

"Press the handprint here."

The officer and soldier clicked on a page of paper.

Liu Goudan quickly dipped his thumb into the ink paste and pressed it hard.

"Okay? Go back to the back. Next."

Chen Shuangxi followed up tremblingly and said respectfully: "I am also from Taoyuan Village? My name is Chen Shuangxi. I joined the army to kill the Tartars, and there is also a full meal."

Chen Shuangxi straightened her waist and looked very confident.

"I haven't asked yet? You've finished answering them all. It's interesting."

The officer and soldier quickly wrote down Chen Shuangxi's information, and then asked: "Are you with that Liu Goudan?"

"yes."

Chen Shuangxi nodded and said, "We are from the same village, we have grown up since we were young."

"Okay, put your handprints on it. Here."

Chen Shuangxi quickly dunked the ink paste and pressed his handprint.

In this way, he will be considered to be in the army.

The new army gathered three days later, so Liu Goudan and Chen Shuangxi still have time to go back to see their families.

Especially Liu Goudan felt a little guilty about her father, and she would have a good chat with her father when she went back this time.

The two left the county town together and returned to the village together.

Everyone goes back to their homes and finds their mothers.

As soon as Liu Goudan entered the room, he shouted loudly: "Dad, I'm selected."

"Ah, was selected?"

Liu Laoshi's tone was somewhat disappointed.

He actually had a little fantasy that his kid would not be chosen.

"Then when will you leave?"

"Three days later."

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and the room was silent.

"Forget it, I won't stay."

Liu Laoshi sighed, "I'll kowtow to your mother later, she's packing up your things for you."

"If you go to the army, do it well. Don't be as petty as you are at home. After all, no one is spoiling you like that. Don't rush forward when fighting, just follow behind and cheer. The one who can win is not bad for you, and even if you can't win a battle, you won't help even if you rush forward."

Liu honestly muttered: "Dad has no other requests for you. He does not ask you to be a marquis and ministers, nor does he ask you to be a prestigious person, but he asks you to come back safely. Dad is the only son, you are still waiting for you to support me in my old age."
