Returning to the Pastoral: Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 338 Enlistment
Wang Qiu swallowed his saliva. He had heard from the villagers that the enlistment treatment given by Mr. Lu was very good.Some villagers came back and said that in the barracks, it was indeed as written in the notice. Three meals a day were all dry land, and there was meat for every meal, and a chicken for breakfast.

With such a favorable condition, not to mention the high salary, just for this meal, those who have nothing to offer are willing to sell their lives to Governor Lu.

Although Wang Qiulai was prepared when he came, he was still a little frightened when he saw such a huge scale of conscription.

He thought about it again. According to the notice, he wanted a son from a good family and a height of at least seven feet. If he met all these requirements, it shouldn't be difficult for him to enlist in the army, right?

As for the rule in the notice that the only son is not allowed to join the army, Wang Qiu has automatically ignored it.

There is no one in my family, and I am alone. Does it matter if this is the only child?

As early as when his wife was gone, he should have died together.Now saving his life is just to avenge his family.He knew the virtues of the people of Qing Kingdom best, and they were stable now, but they would definitely call again in a short time, and there was still a great chance of revenge.

Thinking of this, Wang Qiu took a lottery and waited silently in line.

When it was finally his turn, the enthroned official took the lottery and first sized Wang Qiu up.This scrutinizing gaze made Wang Qiu feel a little uneasy, but thinking of the tragic death of his parents, wife and children, he mustered up his courage again, raised his chin slightly, showing his composure.

"What is your name?"

"Wang Qiu."

"How old is it? Where are you from?"

"On the eighteenth year, a person from Wangjia Village, Ji County, Youzhou."

"Who else is at home?"

Wang Qiu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I was the only one, the others were all killed by the Qing people..."

The little official who was writing down the words trembled slightly when he heard this, raised his head to look at the king and begged, and could not help but sigh in his heart: "How unlucky is this man?"

There was a trace of sympathy in my heart, and seeing that Wang Qiu was tall and tall, his body was very solid, and his face was also very generous, he couldn't help but feel a little fond of him, and asked: "Why do you want to come here when you are the only one left in this family?" Join the army? Why don’t you go to the city to find a job and find a woman to carry on the family line. Serving as a soldier is bloody.”

"My lord, I'm not afraid!"

Wang Qiu gritted his teeth, clenched his hands involuntarily, and his joints turned white, "My lord, my mother was killed by the Qing people, and my three sisters committed suicide because of the humiliation. My wife who was pregnant in three months also committed suicide." I was ruined by them, my lord, the little one is already alone, the reason I live is to see the day when the Qing people wipe out their clan!"

After finishing speaking, he knelt down with a plop, kowtowed and said, "My lord, please let me enlist in the army! No matter what you do, even if you are a groom or a hot soldier, as long as you can serve as a soldier to protect your family and country and avenge your relatives, I will sell my life to Master Lu!"

The little official looked at the determination on Wang Qiu's face, and also at the deep-rooted hatred in his eyes when he mentioned Qingren, sighed slightly, shook his head and said: "As a man and a child, a man who is a husband sees his wife and children dying before his eyes and cannot take revenge. That is the greatest suffering in the world. Forget it, I will make an exception to accept you, take this lot and go to the side to wait, and later go to receive the resettlement allowance and clothes."

"Thank you sir!"

Wang Qiu kowtowed a few more times gratefully, then took the lottery and stood aside to wait.

"This brother, you are really good!"

Not long after Wang Qiucai stood up, a black-faced man praised: "There is also a person in our village who is as miserable as you. He neither has the courage to die, nor does he want to join the army to avenge his parents, wife and children, but spends his days drinking heavily... ..."

The black-faced man gave a thumbs-up, admiring again and again, and everyone around echoed him.

Sometimes, living is much more difficult than dying, especially in the face of such tragic events, it takes more courage to live than to die.

There are many brave people in the north, and after hearing about Wang Qiu's experience and seeing his perseverance, they felt a little admiration in their hearts, and enthusiastically pulled Wang Qiu to introduce everything here to him.

"I heard from the villagers that the new army formed by Mr. Lu is called the Menghu Camp. The daily drills are very strange, and they are also very hard. But because there are three meals of white rice and noodles, there is also meat, and there are chickens in the morning. , but I can bear it, but such a weird way of training soldiers is unheard of and unseen.”

The black-faced man talked eloquently, obviously he was also someone who could chat, and said with a slap in the face: "I also heard that this drill was made by Mrs. Lu, tsk tsk, I really don't know how a woman can train soldiers."

"You don't want to die!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone changed their faces, and they all made silent movements, saying: "Keep your voice down, it's not good to be heard by others. These nobles are not something people like us can talk about."

The black-faced burly man chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of? That lady is very approachable, and she went to Ji Shan Tang yesterday to give rice and clothes to those widowed old people and orphans."

"That's right, this lady is really kind-hearted! This Jishantang has been established since Taizu came to the throne, but at this moment, it has become a place that no one cares about. After this lady came, she gave The money was used to renovate the Jishan Hall, and the master was hired to teach the children in the house to read and write, and even a doctor was hired to sit in the township and treat the sick old men and women all day long."

"Oh, this lady has done more good things than this one? I heard that the righteous school was also proposed by this lady. Tsk tsk, Lu Qingtian is already a great official, and there is such a virtuous lady. In my opinion, it is not In a few years, we Youzhou people will be able to live a prosperous life again."

"It's a pole, it's a pole!"

After listening to everyone's discussion, Wang Qiu had a new understanding of Lord Governor and his wife.

Although he is very insignificant, but people are like this, our instinct drives us to approach kind-hearted people, so is Wang Qiu.

There were a lot of people who were recruited, and a lot of places were dismissed. Until the evening, all the people who came to apply for the army today were registered.Wang Qiu followed the little official and a group of people to a hut not far away, and took his family allowance and a set of military uniforms.

The material of this military uniform is very good, but the style is a bit strange, unlike the military uniforms seen before, the cuffs and trousers are tied together.The military uniform in his hand was directly made into narrow sleeves, and the trousers were also like cavalry trousers. The bottom was cut directly into a closed cuff just like the cuffs.

In addition to the clothes, Wang Qiu also received a package with a strange shape. After a demonstration by the little official, he realized that the two straps on the package were used to carry it on his back.

I don't know who came up with the clever trick, but even slightly changed it, it is much more convenient.

After changing into the military uniform, putting on the backpack that the little official said, and putting on the new shoes that were issued together just now, Wang Qiudun felt that he was a bit different, if he used the weapon again, it would be different, right?
