Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The city of Tokyo is bustling with activity. Outside the Zhaobi of Kaifeng Mansion, many people gathered, blocking the road.

There were two groups of people, a large group of men, women and children gathered there to watch the fun, and a scribe beat a gong to read a notice. And there is a group of people here, all men in long robes and Futou, young and old, all of them are huddled there looking at the yellow list posted on the wall.

"Student" Yu Liang was also among them, he had just rushed over from Hongying's house to watch the list. Candidates for the Jinshi examination are called Xianggong and students. Yu Liang is a student sent by the local county school.

At this moment, a man suddenly yelled "I got hit!" Then he jumped up, and when he lifted his feet, he slapped his hands hard on the shoes, his hands and feet danced, his face flushed, and he raised his head again, "Hahaha..." and laughed.

A person next to him who seemed to know him bowed and bowed, and said with a complicated expression: "Congratulations, Brother Liang..."

Yu Liang glanced sideways, then continued to look at the list above with his head held high. There are not many people who have passed the Jinshi department. He read it many times in a row until his neck hurt, but he still didn't see his name.

As expected, he missed.

Yu Liang stood there blankly, not knowing where he was or what to do for a moment. Do you want to go home and farm? But he doesn't know anything, not to mention that there is really nothing good to plant in the land of Yu's family. His parents, wife, and brothers work hard from morning to night, but he usually doesn't even have enough money for paper and ink, and he has to rely on his uncle in the family to help him.

And that Hong Ying treated her kindly, but she only gave some pens, inkstones, paper and ink, food, and the necessary fees for the exam. There is not much money... She once said that she should not feed too much, which probably meant that.

At this moment, Yu Liang felt a little ashamed to see the elders at home, because it was useless to the family, and now he didn't even get a result... Continue to take the exam in another three years? Yu Liang even wondered if he was that material.

At this moment, I heard a sound of "Ai", and saw a thin man with gray temples turned away from under the list, and walked towards the street alone. Yu Liang looked at that figure, and felt that that person was his fate for a moment.

Not far from the wall, a clerk was beating the gong occasionally, and shouting loudly: "Everyone has fame, as long as they are willing to stand out! If you don't ask for fame, you will buy land with nothing!"

Yu Liang was slightly distracted by the doggerel, probably scholars are easily attracted by such things.

Then I heard the scribe say: "The Privy Council's "Military State Order" states that there are 350 prefectures in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and 200 prefectures are selected from the rich and wealthy. Ten prefectures form an army with 100,000 soldiers.

As long as the sons of good families, farmers, tenant farmers, artisans, scholars, everyone is voluntary. If you spend money in the counties, each county has to send it to the camp; you can throw away food and clothing when you enter the camp, and you will be full of your own royal food! There will be generous rewards for meritorious service in the battle, and you will go home for three years to buy land and build a house!

Military registration is only for three years, and after three years there is no requirement. As long as you have a military registration, your parents and brothers will not be subject to corvee; if there is any injustice, you can file a complaint with the military government, and ask the government with your colleagues. Can you tell right from wrong?

Those who can read and write can become generals if they bring their fellow countrymen into the army, and after they go to the military, the officials specially ordered the "systematic department" to be officials; those who fail the ranking can directly become officials, and military officials can take the "systematic department"..."

Yu Liang didn't continue to listen. Isn't it a joke to go to the army after ten years of hardship?

After much deliberation, he could only go back to Hongying.

Traffickers and pawns are in a hurry on the road, pedestrians go their own way, Yu Liang sees it, not for fame, but for profit.

Hongying is at home, and she is usually at home when her legs and feet are not good. Yu Liang is an acquaintance in the house, so he easily entered the house.

When Hongying met her, she asked softly and concernedly, "Is Yu Lang on the list?"

Yu Liang had a dark face, and finally couldn't help asking: "Lady Hongying promised to give my poems to Han Xizai, and Han Xizai would recommend them to his friend Li Gu. How come Li Gu doesn't know me at all? The poems must not have reached Prime Minister Li Gu!"

Hong Ying's gentle face was affected immediately, and she said calmly: "Then Han Xizai is a venerable scholar, maybe he forgot about it? Or maybe Li Gu is honest and didn't give Han Xizai any favors?"

After hearing this, Yu Liang got angry, and said coldly: "My lady really treats Xiaosheng like a three-year-old child. According to your relationship between Mrs. Shen (Chen Jiali) and Mr. Han, Mrs. Han would disgrace Mrs. Shen for such a trivial matter? And Mr. Li, the one whom Mr. Han can rely on for life and death..."

"Are you blaming me?" Hong Ying pulled her face down.

The grievances in Yu Liang's heart surged up, and he smiled with an ugly face: "Yang Ye is in your heart, and you are so enthusiastic when he comes! I am just like a cat or a dog in your heart! This is not difficult for you, and you are not willing to help me..."

"You're wrong..." Hong Ying sneered, "But what you said is not entirely wrong. My little girl, I like the strongest man among a bunch of men."

Yu Liang suddenly became angry from embarrassment, came up and grabbed Hongying's arm, and stuffed a curse word of a bitch in his throat.

Unexpectedly, Hongying was not afraid, but said coldly: "I think you are becoming more and more ignorant, what do you want?"

Yu Liang stood there in a daze, at a loss for a while... He didn't dare to scold Hongying, this girl knew some powerful people.

Yes, Yu Liang didn't dare to offend her too much; but what's the point of staying here? This girl got a lot of money from some unknown source and opened a few shops, but it has nothing to do with Yu Liang, he can only get some scraps;

The two froze there, silent for a long time, Hongying smiled.

Yu Liang didn't know any high-ranking officials, and Hong Ying was the only person he knew who was well-versed. He thought for a while, Hongying didn't seem to owe him anything, she gave him food and clothing, and slept with him for nothing.

Sure enough, Hong Ying said softly, "What am I sorry for Yu Lang?"

Yu Liang stood there, hesitating very much, his heart was in a mess.

On the one hand, he felt that this meal was very unpalatable, and even if he was full and clothed with a warm beauty in his arms, he still felt very blocked! On the one hand, he doesn't know where he is going, and there is no way out, this Hongying might be able to help him... She is indeed not bad.

At this moment, Hong Ying put her hand on Yu Liang's handsome face, and said softly: "I treat you with all my heart, man, the most reliable thing is something you earn yourself. If you say this, I will punish you and hurt you."

Yu Liang's face turned green and white, and he swallowed a sigh of relief: "A man has a face, a tree has a skin! Farewell!"

Hongying was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Whatever you want, I will give you money."

Yu Liang said loudly: "Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, if you are a scholar with tens of thousands of households?!"

He strode out the door and wiped away his tears with his sleeve.

Yu Liang walked out of the mansion, asking people along the way, and asked that the place where Kaifeng mansion recruited "Xiangyong" turned out to be outside Tokyo. Immediately rushed over.

When I arrived at the camp on the outskirts of the city, I saw a square flag hanging on the camp: folks who serve the country loyally and bravely!

Before reaching the door, a clerk and several sergeants immediately came. When they asked Yu Liang if he was a scholar who came to join the army, they immediately held Yu Liang's wrist and said, "Brother Yu! From now on, we will all be brothers in the same robe, and we will share the blessings and share the difficulties..."

Yu Liang was stunned.

The clerk led him into the camp again, and kept talking, "Brother Yu doesn't need to see you when you come in. You have clothes to wear and food to eat with you. You don't need to bring anything. We will arrange a place for you first, and then register and register after you stay..."

Yu Liang suddenly felt very warm, and only felt that the people here were very kind to him!

On the way into the camp, all the soldiers who came and went greeted him very kindly. Yu Liang finally couldn't help but said: "No, this... I don't know martial arts, you choose soldiers?"

The official said with a smile: "Master Cao, young people who like to read books and good people are the most. It doesn't matter if they know martial arts, as long as they are good!" He said in a tone of his own, "To be honest, recruiting soldiers is not easy these days. You have to be voluntary, and you have to be young and strong. The country is employing people..."

Yu Liang's brain became hot, and he clasped his fists and said, "Just show respect to my brothers, dare you not report it?"

When it came to the lobby, a military general looked Yu Liang up and down, and he was very polite. He even asked someone to sit on a bench, and asked him gently about his name and background.

Hearing that Yu Liang was a student, the general immediately said: "If you go back to your hometown and bring some young and strong farmers, I will immediately make you ten generals! Take care of the people you bring."

(The troubled times have just passed, and people who can still study and test their fame are generally well-to-do people with a bit of respect in the local area.)

"Ten generals?" Yu Liang was a little puzzled about this military position.

The military general talked eloquently: "The ten generals of our township brave army are not ordinary ten generals. There are as many as thirty-six under them! A team of thirty soldiers, six firemen, divided into three fires.

There are some things you don't know yet. Xiangyong mainly uses bows and firearms, and the tactics are three-stage shooting, so the army is very different from the imperial army. The three teams took turns to shoot, forming one capital; the two capitals formed one regiment, with a school lieutenant; "

A military commander is a commanding officer, and it seems that only by recruiting people can he become a veritable commanding officer, otherwise he is a bare rod. He kept persuading him, "Even though Brother Yu is a student, it is not easy to be admitted to Jinshi, and it is not easy;

If you come to join the army now, you are a scholar, and if you find some people to come over, you will become ten generals. In the future, if you make some meritorious service on the battlefield, you only need to be promoted from ten generals to two ranks, capital commander and deputy commander, and you will go to the military after three years, and you will be given an official position immediately!

If you can't be promoted to a command envoy, you have to participate in the "systematic department", only the military officer examination for naturalization, and it is much easier to get in the list than to directly take the regular examination. No matter how bad it is, a scribe can still have a mouthful of imperial food, right? Military officials and scribes, the imperial court will issue preferential treatment, but they can be promoted to become officials! "

In order to encourage him, the general said in a low voice: "With Mr. Cao waiting in court, it's not like we are left unattended..."
