……..

There was good news about the recruitment from the East Gate. More than 400 people signed up for the Taiping Camp in one afternoon. This made Qin Zhisheng and Shao Jiugong, who were not optimistic about the recruitment situation, dumbfounded. , I know that in this year, I want the people to take the initiative to join the army, there is no other way than to force it, and I have never heard of people voluntarily joining the army. But the facts were in front of them, and the names written in black letters on the roster really told them that today’s Taiping Camp really recruited more than 400 young people into the camp, which made them really incomprehensible.

It was not only Shao Jiugong and the others who couldn’t understand it, but the gang of clerks and officers of the Zigaoyao county government were even more dumbfounded. rejoice for them. They are all people from the same place, Gaoyao City is not big, and many of the young people who signed up are familiar to the clerks, and even some of them are close relatives, but they did not dare to step forward to dissuade them, and even secretly winked. I dare not, I can only feel pity for these people in my heart.

Except for the dozen or so poor beggars at the beginning, why did the rest of the people join the army? Are they really out of their minds and want to be fooled by the Taiping Camp? Don’t they know the consequences of being a master?

There are people who understand, and we all know that these people can’t get enough to eat at home. It’s better to go out and go with the Taiping Ying, no matter whether the promise of the Taiping Ying is true or not, at least they will have enough food in front of them. Besides, the one and a half lads won’t let them out. You can worry about your parents dying at home. Anyway, they are not afraid of death, so let them go crazy. If you are lucky, you can’t really be a person in the army. What’s more, it’s a good thing for them to join the army. If the Ming army enters the city, the troops of the Qing Dynasty can let go of Gaoyaocheng. Can you spare the people in this city?

People who knew what the consequences of entering the Ming army in the city had long thought about going out of the city for refuge. The Ming army in black in front of them was guarding the city gate, but it could be seen how they emptied the money and grain from the county government warehouse. Probably not for a few days. Just waiting for the army men in black clothes to leave, everyone will leave here with the old and young, otherwise it will be too late. You said that the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty were monks who were vegetarians and chanting scriptures, and that once the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty came, they would kill people! Why were the neighboring counties slaughtered a few years ago?

Many people who signed up to join the army saved their lives in the camp. There is no shortage of people who will find opportunities to escape in the future. However, these people are a minority after all. Most of the young and strong people come here because they can eat enough. As for the promise of the Taiping Camp to be able to eat meat, they just heard it and couldn’t take it seriously. Those young men in the city who did not come to sign up to join the army did not necessarily want to take refuge in the camp. The problem was that the Taiping Camp only recruited young men, not the old and the weak. They all had wives and children. Who can stomp their feet and ignore them.

Zhou Shixiang doesn’t care what the young people who sign up have in mind, as long as they come in. Shao Jiugong was instructed to find a few open spaces in Dongcheng to place these recruits, and wait until tomorrow for a reorganization of registration. In terms of food, the whole camp has eaten well today. The restaurants and big households in the city all have wine and meat for “filial piety”.

That night, the city of Gaoyao was really lively. After several scouts confirmed that there were no signs of the Qing army near Gaoyao, Zhou Shixiang allowed the whole camp to have a drink, which made all his men laugh from ear to ear. Zhou Shixiang himself had a rare drink, and then he personally sent Song Ying out of the city. Song Ying went here to find Zhang An, and Zhou Shixiang asked Zhang An to go to the provincial capital in person.

The ban on alcohol was imposed, but he did not ignore it. Tie Yi’s engineer battalion was not allowed to drink alcohol, but instead took up the task of patrolling the streets. The street patrol was not afraid of conspiracy by the big gentry in the city, nor was he afraid of the spies of the Qing army, but because the sergeants who had been drinking too much would go out to make trouble. The greatest power Zhou Shixiang gave Tie Yi was that as long as he caught the drunkard who was in the city, whether it was an officer or a soldier, he would be tied first, and if he resisted, he would be beaten with a stick.

Fortunately, there were a lot of drunken soldiers that night, but most of them were sleeping soundly in the camp. Few ran out to play drunken madness, and none of them ran into people’s homes to make trouble. The engineer battalion patrolled all night and only bundled more than 20 drunken men, half of whom were found sleeping on the street.

……

The number of people who signed up the next day was significantly reduced. In the morning, there were only a few dozen. After noon, no one came to sign up. After reporting the situation over there, Zhou Shixiang asked him to close the stall. No matter if anyone came to vote, the soldiers would not be recruited. All those who should vote have voted, and those who should be thoughtful have also come, and the rest will basically not join the army again.

Just after noon, according to legend, Zhou Shixiang ordered the entire battalion to gather in Dongcheng. Li Fuguo and his 200-odd Green Battalion soldiers were also brought out and escorted there. The more than 400 high-level recruits who had been recruited in two days were also shouted and brought to Dongcheng. The open space in Dongcheng is not large, so many people are concentrated in one place, and it suddenly seems crowded.

Tie Yi ordered people to build a high platform according to Zhou Shixiang’s instructions. On the high platform, there were two big flags. One side was written with a big “Ming” character, and the other side was embroidered with the three characters of “Taiping Camp”. Among the officers, except for Ge Zheng Brothers, they were ordered. Guard the east and west gates, and the rest are ordered to come. Because I don’t know what Qianhu-sama called everyone to do, so I’m guessing. Because the wine and meat were enjoyable last night, the composition of the soldiers was complicated, and most of the officers were from bandits and green battalions, so the discipline was not very good and it was messy.

“Sir Qianhu is here!”

Following the loud cries of Zhou Shi’s blind date guard ~www.readwn.com~ Zhou Shixiang, who was dressed in a strong suit, slowly stepped up to the high platform with his saber in one hand. After going up, Zhou Shixiang couldn’t help frowning when he heard the noisy discussion below, and when he raised his hand, three drums sounded immediately.

Hearing the sound of the drums, the officers and veterans sighed subconsciously, and immediately began to maintain order, and the situation soon quietened down. The prisoners in the Green Camp were uneasy, not knowing what was waiting for them today, and those Gao Yao soldiers who had just been recruited were also uneasy, not knowing what the generals on stage would do to them.

After the scene was silent, Zhou Shixiang looked at the audience and said to them: “Since the day I set up the Taiping Camp, this thousand households have vowed to lead everyone to restore the two capitals and restore my Daming Han family. For this purpose, my Taiping Camp needs heroes from all over the world to vote, but I will accept all the heroes, but if it is a cowardly scum, I will not have one!… When the former Japanese camp attacked Gaoyao City, Ben Qianhu I heard that there are a few timid and timid seniors who not only disobeyed orders, but also shouted in front of the formation, disturbing the hearts of our troops. Therefore, when I called everyone here today, I wanted to put these rats right in front of everyone. Military law, good military discipline!” (A good event for the pie in the sky, the cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
