Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

Of course, the family is very thin, and parents and elders cannot even nod. But there are also a few brothers who are too poor to find a wife and hope to find a chance to get ahead, so they get together.

When the Tai family team finally left, there were more than a hundred new troops.

The old man acted prudently, so he asked for paper and pen, recorded the names of all the young people in the village, and asked everyone to put their fingerprints next to their names.

First, if there is military pay and wages, they can be distributed and received according to this list.

Secondly, if there are casualties, it will be easier to notify their families.

Of course, the most important thing is that this list proves that everyone took the initiative to go to the border to support without any coercion. No one can regret it in the future and go to the Tai family without mercy...

Mr. Tai and his team temporarily returned to Taijia Village to rest for a night, then rushed to the border and found He Xiong.

The battle between the border guards and the Rakshasa Japs was very dangerous. The soldiers outside the pass had all withdrawn to the inside. Relying on the steepness of the city wall, they would be able to defeat the enemy with half the effort.

He Xiong heard the report and knew that the old man was here. He was really worried, fearing that something big would happen to the Tai family.

When I finally met the old man, I was still shocked by the more than 300 young men around him.

"Uncle, where are you coming from? Where are you going?"

Mr. Tai laughed and responded, "These are the warriors from our tribe and nearby villages. They have been killing the scattered Rakshasa devils before. Now that the Rakshasa devils have been killed, let's come over and see if we can help." Yes, and also contribute to the defense of our hometown!"

The men in each village were afraid that He Xiong would not keep them, so they started shouting one after another.

"General, please leave us alone. We are very brave. We are not afraid of killing people!"

"I chopped off the heads of two Rakshasa devils!"

"I can ride a horse and I'm very strong!"

He Xiong laughed, reached out and patted the two men nearby, and praised, "No wonder Uncle Tai brought you here. It turns out that you are all upright and good men! Don't worry, as long as you are willing, our border guards welcome everyone who fights alongside us. Folks!”

Mr. Tai also said, "Since we are here, we are really here to help. If you have any errands, just send them!"

He Xiong thought for a while, but still did not arrange these villagers to join the army. After all, they are all novices who have never participated in a battle, and a single oversight could really put their lives at risk. But it cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the folks...

"Uncle, shopkeeper Chen has sent back news that convoys are arriving one after another to deliver food. The road is not smooth now, and the convoys may not have enough manpower. If you don't mind the hard work, why not help me pick them up."

Mr. Tai's eyes lit up and he thought this was the best job, so he agreed immediately.

"Okay, let's go south now to meet the grain transport convoy."

He Xiong asked someone to get the border guard's sign so that the old man and others could pass through various cities on the way to avoid misunderstandings. After all, they were a team of several hundred people.

Mr. Tai took the sign and was about to lead the people away, but He Xiong stopped him and said, "Uncle, you forgot one thing!"

"What's the matter?" The old man was confused.

He Xiong smiled, opened his hand, and responded, "Of course it's the list! Bring me the list and put it in the book. Not only will you be paid, but when you win, you will be rewarded based on your merits, and you will also have a share!" Hearing the cheers, I originally thought that I would have to transport food back before I could mention this matter. Who would have thought that He Xiong would take the initiative to include them in the military rolls!

After handing in the list, the old man took everyone on the road again. Some people couldn't help but worry and asked, "Uncle, after getting into the military register, what should we do if we want to go home after the war? Will we be left behind... …”

Mr. Tai waved his hand and gave everyone relief pills.

"Don't worry, the border guards will not miss us hundreds of people. If you want to stay, you can stay. If you want to go home, I can't tie your legs! Cheer up and work hard. You can't say this The money you earn in a while will be enough for you to go home and marry a wife!"

Some people didn't believe it and responded, "Uncle, we all know that the border guards are very poor. I don't know where this military ration came from. Is there really any money for us?"

"Yes," Mr. Tai was very confident. If it were before, he really wouldn't dare, but now that the border guards have treasures in their hands, they will never be short of such a small amount of money.

"There must be some. Just work hard. Even if the army doesn't have them, my family also has them. I won't lose you!"

Everyone was completely relieved and headed south overnight despite the wind...

Let’s not talk about the fierce commotion here in the border area. I just want to say that people in Kyoto are also in panic these days. After all, this place is only a thousand miles away from the border. The Rakshasa devils are attacking on a large scale, and even fools have received the news.

Everyone in Kyoto was shocked, and everyone hoped that the news was false. But when I dug out the battle report at the bottom of the box from the Ministry of War, it really slapped the imperial court hard in the face!

Needless to say, officials in the Ministry of War were unlucky from top to bottom. Those who have lost their official positions have lost their official positions, and they are fighting against each other. It is really a bleak and gloomy situation.

But even so, the matter is still not resolved, and the Rakshasa devils outside the border will not disappear out of thin air.

Because the emperor was seriously ill, he only went to court once every few days, and now a large number of civil and military officials gathered every day.

Someone suggested sending food and weapons to the border guards immediately, otherwise the border guards would not be able to support them and the Rakshasa devils would come in.

But some people disagree. The national treasury is empty, and the border guards have been holding on for so many years without food and weapons. This time is no less important.

More people remained neutral, frowning, looking worried about the country and the people, but refused to express their stance. The main thing is not to offend both sides, look for opportunities, and the fishermen will benefit!

The common people in the city pricked up their ears and waited to hear the news from the court every day. All kinds of uncertain true and false news were flying all over the sky, and teahouses and restaurants were also overcrowded.

"Oh, have you heard that the border pass has been broken, and the Rakshasa devils are coming soon!"

"Impossible. The cousin of my next-door neighbor, the third uncle, lives at the border gate. They have already sent the message. The border gate is fine, and the Rakshasa devils will definitely not be able to attack."

"Really, when did you get the news? Yesterday, I heard from a passing merchant that the general of the border guard army was seriously injured and was about to die. Without him in charge, the border crossing might not be able to hold on for a few more days!"

"What a sin. What a good life, why did it turn into chaos?"

"It's not like those people in the imperial court oppress the border guards every day without giving them food or money. They want to fight for their lives in such dangerous times! How shameless!"

The timid ones couldn't help but persuade them, "You can't say that. No one expected that the Rakshasa devil would suddenly have a seizure! Do you think we should also go to the south to take shelter?"

"What are we avoiding? We are at the feet of the emperor! None of the royal relatives have run away. Why are we in a hurry? Let's wait and see."

Just when people were talking about it, another big thing happened the next morning! (End of chapter)
