Chapter 64 Conscription

Watching all the women bid farewell with tears, Du Yi felt quite uncomfortable, and secretly wished these poor women in his heart!

"You can't bear to part with it!" Seeing Du Yi in a bad mood, Xiao Min felt surprisingly uncomfortable and pouted, looking very unhappy!

"Hey, I'm jealous!"

Du Yi's words made her blush, but Xiao Min didn't refute because she knew she was just jealous!

"Hey, actually I'm just worried about these poor women. I've done everything I can, and the rest is up to them!"

Xiao Min was silent. Others thought that Yuxiao Demon Lord was a big devil, but who knew that he was just a lonely poor man without the care of his parents. He only had loneliness to accompany him. It was not until he appeared that he felt

Warmth, and now the feeling given to him by a group of miserable women has won his approval, and he has some emotional sustenance, but this does not include the love between men and women. Xiao Min can feel this deeply!

After experiencing what happened at Yuxiao Pavilion, the two of them lost interest in traveling around and rushed back in just two days!

The weather in Changming Mansion at the end of July was extremely hot. Almost all the men on the street were shirtless. This made Xiao Min, who had just entered the city, blush like a peach blossom!

Du Yi looked at it funny and couldn't help but laugh, which made Xiao Min immediately angry!

When they returned to the Yamen of the state capital, the two of them were immediately stunned. In the lobby, everyone was in a hurry. Apparently something important had happened!

"Oh, father-in-law, I have just left the house. I am a little far away from you. Please forgive me for my father-in-law!"

"Oh, sir, you are back. My father-in-law has been waiting for you for an hour!" Zhang Fugen immediately came out and explained to Du Yi, and he kept blinking!

Du Yi seemed to understand what Zhang Fugen meant. Apparently, Eunuch Guo had just arrived. Fortunately, he had sent a letter to Zhang Fugen Feige before. If not, he would have been in trouble today!

The imperial court had extremely strict control over officials, and leaving one's post without permission would be a serious crime. That's why Zhang Fugen and Zhang Haogu were so eager!

"Oh, Lord Marquis, you are back. The Sa family has been waiting for you for a long time. Hurry up and accept the order. The Sa family has to go back to recover!"

Du Yi had no choice but to kneel down to receive the order. There was no way around it!

When Du Yi heard what was in the decree, he couldn't help but frowned, but he didn't say anything and accepted the decree!

"Lord Wang, the recruitment of troops is imminent. Your Majesty has given you half a year to train troops. I will be back soon!"

"Eunuch Guo, wait a minute, you have come all the way here, but it's a pain for you. I will definitely accept a little respect!"

"Hey, if you treat the Sa family so well, Mr. Hou, the Sa family will be worried about the Marquis!"

"What did you say, Eunuch Guo? You and I have known each other for several years, so you can't help but be so polite!"

"Hey, you're right, the Sa family has an affair."

In fact, Du Yi was so awkward, not to mention calling him brother-in-law with a father-in-law, the hairs on his body almost stood up!

"Eunuch, why does Your Majesty want to recruit troops? I haven't heard of any war?"

"Hey, don't mention it. Our Great Zhou Dynasty has only one neighbor, the Gale Empire. The Gale Empire has strong folk customs and strong aggression. It is extremely unlucky to have such a neighbor!"

"Oh, is it possible that our Great Zhou Dynasty is going to have a decisive battle with the Gale Empire?"

"I don't know about this. After all, the Sa family is just a father-in-law and cannot participate in politics. However, I have heard that the situation at the border has been tense recently and a war is imminent!"

Du Yi understood this time. It was indeed a national war. With the war going on, the people's lives would be difficult again!

"That's all, these are things that are beyond our control. Let's do our best according to fate. It's time for the Sa family to say goodbye!"

"Father-in-law, walk slowly!"

After Guo Taiyi left, Du Yi looked at the decree in his hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly!

This time there was a lot of conscription. One hundred thousand soldiers were conscripted at one time, and he was solely responsible for it. From Guo Taiyi's behavior, it can be seen that this time the two countries have indeed reached an irreconcilable point, and a large-scale war may break out at any time!

In half a year, it would be no problem to catch 300,000 men, not to mention 100,000, but these people go to the battlefield unwillingly, what effect can they have, and the Gale Empire has always played a leading role, so they must be prepared, and

The people of the Gale Empire are fierce, and this battle will definitely be extremely brutal!

The conscription was fine, but Du Yi couldn't bear the thought of sending these people to a point of no return with his own hands, so Du Yi hesitated!

Xiao Min took the imperial edict from Du Yi's hand and frowned when she saw it. What she saw was not the number of soldiers to be recruited, but the words asking Du Yi to command the troops!

The most discerning person in the incident was the head of the family, Zhou Chenglong. He had paid a lot of attention to Du Yi in recent years and spoke highly of Du Yi in terms of his strategy and ability. Otherwise, he would not have been awarded the title of Marquis of Zhenguo!

And this time the military conscription needed commanders, but for some reason, Zhou Chenglong asked Du Yi to command a state of 100,000 soldiers. It was a whim, but it was better to say that he was betting on Du Yi, hoping that Du Yi could give him a surprise.

That’s it!

But Du Yi was stumped. Among thousands of troops, what is most important is strength. In a war involving hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of people, it is a meat grinder. Life and death are only a matter of seconds. He

His ability is very high, but no matter how high he is, he can't protect a hundred thousand people. Once there is a large-scale war, the more people there are, the more people will die, and there will be more worries!

"That's all, that's all, so what if you resist the decree, hum!"

Hearing Du Yi's cold snort, several officials present could not help but shed cold sweat!

"Brother, what should I do with your cultivation!"

Du Yi smiled bitterly: "There is no Foundation Building Pill anyway, so it doesn't matter if we delay it for a few months!"

Xiao Min gave a bitter smile, but when she thought of something, her face suddenly turned red, and then she ran away nervously. This made Du Yi and all the officials confused!

————————————

"Post a recruitment notice in the city, recruiting 100,000 soldiers, with a monthly salary of 10 taels. Those who can stay in the army for half a year will receive a monthly salary of 60 taels!"

The dozens of officials present were immediately shocked. They were joking. Ordinary soldiers received a monthly salary of 50 taels, while new recruits received a monthly salary of 10 taels. And if they could stay for the first half of a year, it would be a year's salary for ordinary soldiers!

"Hurry up and make arrangements!"

Suddenly, everyone in the hall was shocked. They all knew that Lord Zhizhou was serious about it, so they didn't dare to neglect and followed the order!

But there were only two people left in the hall, Zhang Fugen and Zhang Haogu, two fifth-rank officials!

Zhang Haogu and Du Yi are relatively easy to talk to, and they are older and often act like their elders. Du Yiben is a good-tempered person, and he is older than himself when talking to others, so he doesn't mind calling him Uncle Zhang!

"I said seven taels, what are you doing? Although the weather has been good these years and the treasury has money, it still cannot withstand such trouble!"

"Do you think I want to do this? I am recruiting people, and I am recruiting strong men. Only when the money is thrown away can I have strong laborers to join the army. And this time I am only recruiting 5,000 to 10,000 people. What I want are elite soldiers.

The more people there are, the more people will die. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and I don't want so many people to die in my hands!"

Zhang Haogu frowned and said, "But the imperial decree is to recruit 100,000 people. Wouldn't it be troublesome for you to do so?"

Du Yi smiled bitterly and said: "It doesn't matter, the worst thing is that I won't be the Marquis. It's no big deal!"

Zhang Haogu and Zhang Fugen looked at each other and then smiled bitterly, but they were in awe of Du Yi in their hearts. What does it mean to care about the world and the people? This is the case with the young man in front of them.

However, in the minds of the two of them, Du Yi is good at everything, but the only thing he is sure of is that he will run all the way to the dark side, and it is too difficult to change!

As soon as Du Yi's notice appeared, the city and surrounding counties suddenly became a sensation. Just kidding, when they saw the conditions on the notice, not to mention men, even women were jealous, and many shrews wanted to go there with kitchen knives.

Sign up!

Ten taels of silver a month, that's ten taels of silver, the money that ordinary people can survive for half a year. What's even more eye-catching is that if you insist on it for six months, the monthly salary will rise to sixty taels of silver. If nothing else, the people are working hard.

After saving money for a lifetime, it is considered good to be able to save sixty taels of silver. Many strong young men have rolled up their sleeves and are ready to fight!

It's true that money can make you go around. The flow of people in Santianfu City is three times more than before. Most of them are people from Changming Prefecture, and a few are from other prefectures. Counting Du Yi

This move has offended the nearby state capitals, and they don't have that much money to recruit troops!

After seven days, the number of conscripts was calculated to exceed 500,000, and there were still many people who had not signed up!

Du Yi knew that he must train his troops immediately, otherwise the larger the number of people would be, the harder it would be to control them. At the same time, he issued an order to suspend the recruitment of troops!

There is a large open space outside Changming Mansion, and this open space has become a training ground for Changming Mansion. The open space, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, is overcrowded today!

Du Yi stood on the city wall, used his true source and shouted loudly: "When the military training begins, there are words in advance. Anyone who can listen for a month will be given a salary for that month. If you can't stand it, you will quit the barracks and you will be free. But you are no longer in charge of our country."
