Jiangxi, Nanchang City, Guangrunmen.

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: In the past, Taizu raised an army from Huai Left. After ten years, he drove the Mongol Yuan to the north of Mo, and then he regained my Chinese clothes and clothes."

"But today, the peace has been coming, and the four directions are uncertain, evil spirits are growing, and the disease of tinea scabies grows in the ribs and armpits, and ghosts and monsters arise in the distance."

"The country is hard to think about generals, and Confucian scholars can lead troops. Now I reopen my martial arts. I want to find the good generals of Piao Yao and Dingyuan to kill Loulan under the horse, and restore the mighty power of the Ming Dynasty. When the Dukes were granted the Langju, I will be willing to be granted the title of Marquis."

"I will tell the world that I will hear it."

In front of the crowd, a scholar wearing a long gown and holding a book in his hand was reading with his head shaking.

"Scholar, I have the strength to recruit soldiers?"

A strong man carrying a load of firewood asked the scholar.

"You, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Your Majesty is not recruiting soldiers this time, but to select good generals. One of the conditions is a scholar like me."

"How can you do it? Recruiting scholars to join the army? There is no such thing in the world? Someone is illiterate. The scholar is afraid that he is not going to scare me."

The strong man looked resentful, and the peddlers and pawns around him also started to make excuses.

"It is really a strange thing for scholars to join the army. Are you, the scholar, going to deceive me and not read?"

Seeing that everyone started to accuse him, the scholar blushed and was angry for a moment. He didn't care about the soldiers' stops. He hurriedly walked to the notice, pointed to the words on it, and recited it word by word.

"This time, we recruited military officers, so we selected scholars from 18 to 25 years old, without military citizenship, monthly salary of 2 taels, disability pension, Yinzi died in battle, retired army and was awarded the title of Juren, and given priority to the title of officials."

The scholar's face turned red, fearing that he would be misunderstood again, so he read the conditions for enlistment aloud word by word.

"The monthly salary is 2 taels, which is really a big deal. It's all my money to pay for the money I have to collect firewood in a year."

The strong woodcutter licked his lips before and said unwillingly.

"What's the point of two taels of silver? This scholar-in-law will be a juren after retreating. Do you know that the juren is a serious official? I heard that our county's parents are a juren."

A man who went into the city to sell fish looked at the scholar with envy, as if he was already a juren.

"What's the point of a juren? Haven't you heard the scholar's remarks just now? Your Majesty said that if you can be a wolf, you still have to be a marquis. If you are a marquis, you will be a marquis. Just like Xu Zhongshan, who founded the country, Chang Kaiping, you will be a marquis, and you will be famous in history."

Everyone made the scholar blush with one sentence, one sentence by one.

"Dad, the child is going to join the army."

In the main hall of the Li family, the scholar knelt on the ground before.

"Brother, get up quickly and don't make your father angry. We are only eighteen years old this year. We are ready for the exam at home. Sooner or later, why bother to be the leader of the lord?"

A woman reached out to help the scholar up, but the scholar knelt on the ground without moving as if he was determined.

"Dad, mother, the child is going to be an officer. His Majesty said in the imperial edict that if he can be conferred a title of marquis, he will be conferred a title of marquis."

"If a child is lucky enough to be like Huo Piaoyao and Ban Dingyuan, he will surely be able to shine his family. Even if he fails, he will be able to become a juren after retreating and will be given priority to select officials."

The scholar kept talking about the benefits of joining the army.

"Brother, you are just talking about the benefits of joining the army. You are unlucky for your mother. There is no eye on the battlefield. If you have any faults, you will not live for your mother."

After the woman finished speaking, she touched her tears with her handkerchief.

"Mom, why do you say this unlucky thing? I'm going to be an officer and don't have to rush forward in person. Besides, even if I'm really loyal to the country, I can still earn a generation of scourge for our family."

Seeing the bad luck from his mother, the scholar was a little angry and hurriedly tried to defend him.

"well!"

With a sigh, the middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back spoke slowly.

"Tengjiao, you have been smart since childhood. You have never worried your parents about your education and education. You have become a scholar at the age of eighteen. This is something that our Li family has never seen in generations."

"Do you know what kind of expectations my father has for you? I really hope that you will be able to pass the imperial examination and become the prime minister one day."

Speaking of this, the man choked up.

"Dad, you often teach your child to put family, country and the world first. Now your Majesty recruits our aspiring people, which is also the time for us to serve the country. Moreover, after the child retreated, he was already a juren and could still participate in the imperial examination. It is particularly clear that he was named a marquis and a minister."

The scholar was reluctant to give in and then said.

"Dad, you once told me that our Li family ancestors were originally from Bianjing. During the Jingkang Incident in the Northern Song Dynasty, more than 300 Li family members died under the Jurchen butcher knife. Only two ten-year-old children were hiding in a dry well to survive."

"The two ancestors followed the imperial court to cross the south and lived in this land of Ganzhou. Although they lived in Ganzhou for generations, our Li family still regarded themselves as Hakka."

"Dad, you once said that this is our ancestors reminding us not to forget the national hatred and family hatred."

"Now Your Majesty is recruiting our scholars to join the army. He must follow the example of the prosperous Tang Dynasty to recruit good children to join the army and restore the prestige of our Ming army."

"My father also told the child that now Your Majesty eliminated Wei's rebellion, killed the 'Five Tigers', and regained the Sun again. Two famous ministers from Han entered the cabinet and took Yuan's house as the Minister of War, and this was the lord of Zhongxing."

"Now Your Majesty revives his martial arts, and the child is fortunate to be able to enter the emperor's brocade sleeve. It coincides with the Holy Lord, who is the minister who made great achievements. I hope my father will fulfill it."

After the scholar finished speaking, he solemnly kowtowed to the man.

"Oh, okay, my father has repeatedly taught you brothers to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism. How could it be your turn to go back on your word and become fat? This is contrary to the teachings of the saints. If you stop you from going, you may not be ashamed to see your ancestors tragically die in the Jingkang Incident after death."

"Well, you can go to the capital and be loyal to our Li family for our country."

The scholar heard this and was immediately overjoyed.

"Brother, are you going to join the army in the capital?"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a few half-year-old children rushed in from outside the hall.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn just now, so the children kept eavesdropping outside. Seeing that their father agreed, they immediately rushed in.

"Brother, the capital is not far away. How long will it take for you to come back?"

A girl asked crisply.

"Brother, is the capital city fun? Don't forget to bring us fun when you come back."

A boy about ten years old said with a smile.

“There are delicious.”

Another little boy was afraid that the scholar would forget it, so he added another sentence.

"Your brother is going to be a military officer in martial arts, fighting, not traveling around the country. Look, you are excited and just thinking about eating."

The mother of the scholar's mother's eyes were red, and she reached out to wipe her tears again.

"Mom, don't worry. The child must protect himself. There will definitely be no problem. Besides, with your blessing, the arrow will also circumvent it."

The scholar wiped his mother's tears and laughed and persuaded her, which made several children laugh.

For a moment, the whole hall was filled with mum.
