Chapter 657: The lower-class Northern Wasteland people

"Borrowing troops from Jiangnan?"

The news of borrowing troops quickly spread to the major tribes in Beiyan. The recruitment order has been conveyed through messengers, and many soldiers are talking about it.

The countries in the Northern Wilderness are basically tribal systems, including Great Beiyan. Except for the big city of Beilang City, Beiyan has no other cities in the grassland area of ​​the Northern Wilderness. All herdsmen under its command are tribal systems that can move at any time.

The so-called soldiers, especially those without blood, are usually herders in the tribe and serve as auxiliary soldiers in wartime. In normal times, they are no different from ordinary herders.

The rich and middle-class people live in warm cities, while ordinary people pitch tents in the cold snowy fields. This is the living condition of the people of the Northern Wilderness, and it is the living condition of most people at the bottom for generations.

Most of the people who can live in Northern Wolf City are blood families or warlock families, or they are scholars who are given preferential treatment. Northern Wolf City has the nearest trade, and there is salt, food, and cotton-padded clothes raised by people in the tribe. Cattle and sheep can only be exchanged there. There is almost no other choice, unless there are merchants from the North who skip Northern Wolf City and are willing to look for scattered tribes in the huge snowfield.

The blood warriors and sorcerers in Northern Wolf City have absolute force and economic and trade advantages. Almost the scattered tribes have no way to resist. For generations, they can only herd cattle and sheep on the cold ice fields, and occasionally return to their hometowns. There are some unruly wolf monsters to deal with.

At this time, news actually came down from above, saying that Jiangnan was borrowing troops and wanted to draw 500,000 fine clothes from the tribe's children to go to the land of Jiangnan.

As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar!

"Is this news true? What do you think?"

Outside the tent of a small tribe, several young men who had returned from driving cattle and sheep gathered together to discuss this major event that shocked the tribe.

"The messengers are here, how could it be fake? Didn't it be announced some time ago that we, Beiyan, have attached themselves to Jiangnan?"

Several people began to think after hearing this. Although the previous news was shocking, it had little to do with them after all. According to the older generation, in the past, the Northern Wilderness countries had always attached themselves to the Central Plains. Anyway, they were all upper-class nobles and The interests of some transactions in the Central Plains basically have nothing to do with lower-class herdsmen like them.

But this time.

"If this is true, then do we have a chance to go to Jiangnan?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts jumped slightly.

The only good time in these years was when Dayan was full of martial virtue, invaded the Central Plains, and occupied the sixteen cities of Youyun.

At that time, due to insufficient population, herders were needed to help manage the city. Many herders finally experienced the life of a small noble. They could live in warm stone houses, drink tea and listen to music in the backyard, and live a stable life like the people of the Central Plains.

Unfortunately, this good life did not last long, and they were driven back to the ice sheet. However, because they were driven back only in recent years, many middle-aged herdsmen still remember those days.

Moreover, it is the northern land with the same dry and cold climate. I heard that the Jiangnan water town is very beautiful. Not only are the mountains and rivers picturesque, but the abundance of materials is exaggerated. Many of them have heard of Jiangnan, where there is so much food that the warehouses can store it. No less, every household can brew fine wine. It is said that the blood ginseng wine, which is sought after by the nobles here, is drunk as water there!

"Do you want to go?" The oldest and tallest man inside glanced at the person who first spoke.

"Brother Chao, don't you want to go?"

"You guys think simply." The man who was called Chaoge shook his head and said: "No matter how good Jiangnan is, those good things cannot be enjoyed by common people. It's not like you haven't seen the faces of those nobles. They just treat them like Even if the food is rotting in the warehouse, I can't bear to give a grain of rice to those who are about to starve to death. Being rich in Jiangnan does not mean that ordinary people are rich. If you go there, life may not be better than here. And if you answer the call, your cattle and sheep What should I do? Leave it to my brothers at home?”

A few people opened their mouths and were about to say that they could sell it. Even if they took the money to go to Jiangnan for a while, it would be better than herding sheep in the sterile place of Beihuang.

But when they thought about the recent prices of cattle and sheep, a group of people sighed again.

This year has been like an evil sect. Cattle and sheep can suddenly go on a rampage and eat people. Not many people dare to buy live cows and sheep, and dead cows and sheep are not easy to sell in North Wolf City now.

The reason is that those pythons in the North will bring some monster meat from time to time. Nowadays, there is too much monster meat accumulated in every household, which has greatly affected the price of grassland beef and mutton. Now the price of fresh beef and mutton is not half what it used to be. .

Many herdsmen are reluctant to sell the cattle and sheep they have worked so hard to raise now, and are waiting for the monster meat in Northern Wolf City to be consumed and the price of beef and mutton to pick up.

But at this time, Jiangnan was recruiting troops.

Just as a few people were sighing, the tribe suddenly announced that they were gathering.

"It should be the tribe elders who are going to talk about this matter. You guys must not come forward. If you can, hide from this matter, especially you fool. You have done meritorious deeds and consumed the most cows. It would be better to operate a little." If you have some, you will be able to marry a wife soon, but don’t worry about it at this time.”

The young man named Hanzi nodded when he heard this, but there was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

He doesn't want to spend his whole life herding sheep here, and then marry a woman and keep herding sheep until old age. Oh, it's a luxury to hope for old age. People like them will most likely be summoned to the front line the next time the nobles want to fight, and become those bloodline members again. Cannon fodder of the nobles

By the time a few people arrived at the open space outside the largest tent, hundreds of young and strong men were already standing outside.

The elder nodded slightly when he saw that everyone was here, turned around and smiled at an extremely tall man: "General, everyone is here."

The man nodded slightly, and the elder quickly said: "This is a general from Jiangnan. He came here with His Majesty's permission to draw troops. Everyone is standing still. If you are favored by the adults, you can go to a good place like Jiangnan." ”

Many young people looked at the tall man curiously after hearing this. The armor on that man was so beautiful, domineering and mighty. The cavalry gentlemen in the grassland liked to despise the armor in the Central Plains, thinking it was a turtle shell. They rode and shot on the grassland. In front of the unparalleled soldiers, he was a target.

But at this moment, she didn't think so. This dazzling armor looked like a soldier.

And to be so majestic and tall, he must be a descendant of Jiangnan blood, right?

Just as he was thinking about this, the man spoke: "I am the leader of the ten-man team under the Seventh Army of the Jiangnan Fighting Army: Han Lin, you will only select ten people from your tribe today. From now on, my soldiers will all stand up." "This choice is not forced. If you don't want to, you can tell me immediately and I won't force you. Even if no one in your tribe wants to follow me, I can go to the next tribe without such resistance."

These words made many people feel a little relieved. What they were afraid of now was being selected and taken away by force.

But what’s worth paying attention to is the opponent’s identity. With his momentum and physique, is he just the leader of a ten-man team? In their grassland, he is just a ten-man captain, right?

Are you kidding me?

The elder also looked at the soldier curiously. Those who can be tribal elders are basically blood children, but their blood is not very pure, but after living for so long, their eyesight will not be bad. The man in front of him is full of energy and blood. Just now When I walked over, the snowflakes floating in the sky could not get closer than three feet. It was like walking beside me as if there was a mobile stove.

Is such a man a captain of ten?

Being a captain is more than enough, right?

Then, the big man's selection of people became even more surprising. He stretched out his hand and groped around for everyone.

The elder couldn't help but ask: "Sir, are you touching the bones?"

"Yeah." The fighter army was obviously not a person who liked to talk a lot, so he answered simply.

"But." The elder was a little confused. Bone-touching was generally done by bloodline families. When children of aristocratic families are young and it is still uncertain whether they can inherit the family's bloodline, bone-touching can predict the child's strength to the greatest extent. , if you pay attention to cultivating good root bones when you are young, your body will be stronger and more likely to be able to withstand the strong blood of your family.

But I chose ordinary soldiers. Is this necessary?

"My lord." The man who had previously warned others outside not to choose to go to Jiangnan said, "Does it take a bone scan to choose an auxiliary soldier?"

He was very confused. Touching bones was usually only done by young people. The bones of people here have basically grown. What else is there to touch? And what's the use of touching it? Can common people like them still use high-end medicinal materials to temper their bones?

When Han Lin heard this, he stopped and looked at the other party: "Who told you that you are here to choose auxiliary soldiers this time?"
