Poor family mother and son

Chapter 842 Volunteers

Xinlunzhou is very lively these days.

On the way back, Xu Nianping kept seeing convoys passing by, and whether it was a carriage, mule cart, donkey cart, or cart, there was a huge red flower hanging above the goods they carried.

It is bigger than the safflower on the bridegroom's chest.

Anyone who can be entered into the vanguard of the Chu family also wears a big red flower on their chest.

The wedding party that was supposed to get married today, and the groom's official with red flowers on his chest, would rather be late than in time, and let the team step aside to give way to these red flower vehicles.

Moreover, they looked at those "red flower volunteers" with envy in their eyes, as if "bridal chamber wedding night" is not one of the four happy events in life, but should be changed to "becoming a volunteer soldier".

Both sides of the street were also surrounded by common people. It was more lively than watching the beheading, and everyone looked excited and full of expectation. From time to time, the crowd said: "Good boys, you have kindness! We must win the battle!"

Many women among the common people also commented: "Look, there is a medical girl! I heard that they are from the south to help!"

"Oh, the barracks are full of old men, these girls don't want to be famous!"

"That's not right! How can a girl from a good family be so careless? Isn't this going to be surrounded by men?"

Immediately a man answered: "Sister-in-law, what you say is not pleasant! If there are fewer doctors, who cares if the soldiers are killed or injured? What if the Voss come in?"

"That's right! If the Voss win, let alone the girls, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your reputation!"

An elderly man even muttered: "It is always said that the people of the Chu family are indecent, and if they become relatives, they will form gangs to show off, but who would have thought that in order to keep our Donglun, oh no, Xinlunzhou , men, women and children are all in battle!"

"We can't be too old-fashioned. We have all tasted the taste of national ruin and family ruin. If we could be like this in the past, how could we... well, but fortunately, the common people didn't understand anything back then, and it's still the current day OK!"

"That woman! Stop chewing your tongue! If your son-in-law goes to the battlefield, don't you expect a doctor to save your life?! You know how to talk your wife's tongue every day!"

Hearing that the men around them didn't dislike these women going to the battlefield, the women who had just chewed their tongues also became serious.

It's not that they really just want to make irresponsible remarks. In fact, if they don't care about their families, they also want to be like those girls, able to stand upright and walk in front of others.

But they have to test the thoughts of the people around them, otherwise, what if they say the wrong thing and get scolded?
It's not like you can't keep your mouth shut.

However, in such an exciting scene, they just wanted to say something.

Now, the men don't object to women showing their faces to do things, so a woman in the crowd shouted: "Hey! Those female doctors! Is there anyone in charge? Do you need someone? I can help too." busy!"

Some also shouted: "We can do laundry and cooking. We are better at cooking big pots of rice. Are you short of a man?"

Perhaps the atmosphere became brighter, and one or two women shouted, which caused more women to participate.

In the end, there was another man's voice: "Damn it, stop bluffing! Go home and take the child!"

"Shut up! You are everywhere!"

"People are people, you are you, go home!"

Alas, some men really have double standards. While praising other people's noble morals, they order their own daughter-in-law not to learn from them.

However, the women of Dafeng and his party walking in the team all had misty eyes, and their hearts were surging, all of them held their heads high.

They are not ordinary women, but strong women who can defend their families and the country!

Not only are they not ashamed, but they are also respected!
Look, even the men on the side of the road have spoken out for them and defended their dignity!
Only Xiaobao, reluctantly dressed in plain women's attire, walked among Dafeng and the others, expressionless and not agitated at all.

Xu Nianping walked against these teams, and the red sea-like team around him saw his blood boiling, with the horse's head forward and his head backward.

"Lord Chu, I can't handle my errands well!" These were the first words Xu Nianping said when he saw Chu Qing.

"How do you say that?" Chu Qing handed Xu Nianping chopsticks and a jar of mustard red oil mixed with elbow flowers.

Treating Xu Nianping, Chu Qing's basic principle is to treat Xu Nianping as the Stove Lord on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and give the Stove Lord's sweet mouth as much sugar as he has.

"General Xue, I want a thousand sets of leather armor, and I will give you black hammer armor." Xu Nianping was ashamed: "Even the streets are full of people supporting and helping the army, but I can't convince General Xue Allot more armor."

Alas, needless to say, General Xue must be angry.

Although he was suspected of dereliction of duty, Linyang County fell, and the people of Voss were guilty in the name of Chu Qing, so they should share the guilt.

And when Chu Qing arrived in New Lunzhou, he didn't go to meet him or give him an explanation, which made him hold his breath even more.

"It's all right," Chu Qing hurriedly comforted Xu Nianping: "I was worried that General Xue would show your face, but I asked you to take the blame for me. You haven't been embarrassed by General Xue, have you?"

This is all nonsense, no matter how angry General Xue is, he can't vent to the supervising army representing the emperor.

Xu Nianping was very ashamed of Chu Qing's concern: "No, it's just that leather armor is too unsafe;
However, General Ma said that he had prepared [-] sets of leather armor, [-] sets of black hammer armor, and a set of archer armor for you. "

Chu Qing: "Uh..."

In fact, what Chu Qing wanted was leather armor.

It can be said that Xu Nianping has overfulfilled the task.

You know, Daxuan's armor is too heavy. Every time Chu Qing went to the military village to inspect the cotton planting, and saw the soldiers running in armor, he couldn't breathe for them.

Motors often make soldiers wear armor, which is considered weight training.

Xu Nianping also said that Da Da had prepared the archer armor for Chu Qing, which weighed fifty catties. To be honest, with that armor, Chu Qing felt that he would rather let Xiao Bao, who weighed more than one hundred catties, ride on his neck and run instead of wearing armor.

"Well...General Ma is really generous!" Chu Qing had to admire.

Being able to get a set of crossbow gloves for himself is because Ma Da knows that he is good at shooting, and the second is for the purpose of protecting Chu Qing as a woman.

In fact, General Xue is quite interesting, at least he gave the leather armor back, otherwise, it would be good for the recruits to be given paper armor.

The most likely thing is that they don't give any armor, and let them rush directly to the battlefield. They are not afraid of being injured or dead, and they just fall to the ground as an obstacle to slow down the cavalry.

It's just that nothing can be compared. Compared with Ma Da, Xue Zhenghao's armor seems petty.

The Chu family has their own cotton-iron composite armor, but the quantity is not large, only [-] sets. Master Lu did not expect the Chu family to go to the battlefield.

If money is hard to buy, I knew it earlier. If Master Lu could predict the future, he would have saved a large number of them early.

"General Xue also asked, how many people are there in your vanguard, one battalion or two battalions?" Xu Nianping added.

This can be regarded as the basis for giving a thousand sets of armor, allowing you two battalions of troops at most; it can also be regarded as a reminder to Chu Qing: Don't make too many mobs, which will affect our regular army's operations.

"As much armor as he gives, it counts as many people." Chu Qing said, but in fact she didn't know the bottom line.

Xiaobao said that more than 5000 people have gone to Baijiaxing, and how many more people will go there, Xiaobao didn't say, and Chu Qing didn't know.

Chu Qing couldn't even figure out what the composition of those 5000 people was.

Others were prepared to rebel in their hearts, but forgot to save the money for the rebellion; the Chu family had enough money for the rebellion, but the rebels were completely ignorant.
