At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 278 Why doesn't the man wear a Wu hook?
"Everything is voluntary, never forced!"

As soon as these eight characters come out.

All the spies scoffed.

In this era, in order to obtain enough soldiers, most of the methods adopted by everyone are...conscription!
As for the volunteers...

almost none.

In their minds, this is impossible.

People in this era can't get enough to eat.

How could he take the risk and put his head up his trouser belt to join the army?
You know, this is not a peaceful world.

Joining the army in peaceful and prosperous times can still get a share of military pay.

And relatively safe.

But in this era, there is always a war.

Once joining the army, one will die on the battlefield!
As soon as Xu Mu's news was announced...

In front of the huge portrait of Xu Mu in front of the palace, 36 phalanxes shouted their respective slogans again.

"Why don't you bring the Wu hook and charge Guanshan Fifty States!"

"My husband is born in a country, and I have made up my mind for a long time!"

"Fix the king's affairs in the world, and win the fame before and after!"

……

Various slogans echoed outside the palace again.

The expressions of the common people were touched, and many men were already moved.

Immediately after...

Under the orders of Zhang Xutuo and Xu Shiji, the 36 phalanxes turned back directly, facing all the common people.

They shouted in unison: "In troubled times, would you like to be duckweed and go with the tide, or hold steel knives and fight for a peaceful and prosperous world!"

This question.

Most of the people at the scene were men.

They all lowered their heads.

In a short period of time, they did not have the courage to join the army.

After all, it is possible to die.

Exactly at this time.

Xu Mu's voice sounded again: "I know that joining the army is a dangerous thing! But in troubled times, no one can escape unscathed! Now you can enjoy a stable life, you can enjoy high-yield seeds, you can enjoy the two-tax law, and you can reduce your income. Corvée, tax exemption, what did you get for it?"

"It's them!"

"It's the soldiers in front of you!"

"They threw their heads in front, sprinkled their blood, put their heads on the waistband of their trousers, held steel knives, and fought the enemy countless times to the death, in exchange for your momentary peace!"

Having fooled so many people, Xu Mu deeply knows that to mobilize the approval of the people, he must use interests to touch them.

People don't see that far.

Talking about ideals with them is far from feasible.

then……

Xu Mu glanced at the tens of thousands of people, and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought that if one day, the soldiers on the front line are defeated and defeated by Li Yuan and Dou Jiande, in an instant, all 36 prefectures in Henan Province will fall into the chaos?" adversary!"

"What do you think... what they can bring to you?!"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Mu described the scene where the people in Jingzhao County were in dire straits and the victims were everywhere.

There is also Hebei County, which is recruiting troops wantonly and constantly collecting taxes...

Most of these people have other relatives and friends in other counties, and they all know the situation there.

By comparing the two, they just realized that the lord did not lie to them!

In the past few months, the good governance implemented by the Lord's Mansion has allowed them to achieve an unprecedented bumper harvest.

The grain output of one season can already catch up with their harvest for several years!

The most important thing is that the tax received is only collected twice, and it is only eleven!

Now being told by Xu Mu...

All the people think of their own vested interests, and they are very likely to lose because of people like Li Yuan or Dou Jiande...

Suddenly became filled with righteous indignation.

One after another, the common people clenched their fists tightly. After realizing this point, their fear of joining the army was much less.

Then, Xu Mu began to announce a brand new recruitment policy: "This time, we need to recruit 20 soldiers! There are three things that will not be accepted, please keep them in mind!"

"The only child in the family will not be accepted!"

"Those who have no heirs will not be accepted!"

"Those who are under [-] years old and over [-] years old will not be accepted!"

These three non-receipts have just finished speaking...

All the people talked again.

If the only son in the family joins the army, he will be old and have nothing to depend on, and no one will be filial to his knees.

Those who have no heirs, that is, have no descendants, if they join the army, it means that this line will be completely cut off.

As for the third point, it was entirely Xu Mu's consideration from the source of troops.

Under eighteen, strength and courage are far from enough.

Forty and above, most of them have acquired inherent habits and are not suitable for training!

But these three non-acceptances made the spies stationed in Luoyang all over the place instantly confused.

They didn't expect Xu Mu to come up with so many restrictions.

They are all forced to recruit soldiers, no matter how old or weak, as long as they are men.

And here...

Actually set a threshold and keep people out?
After Xu Mu announced the recruitment policy, the subsequent matters were handed over to Fang Xuanling.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Xuanling began to publicize the benefits of joining the army.

For example...

After joining the army, you can enjoy priority when going to Xianweiju for dinner.

That is, there is no need to queue.

You know, if you go to Xianweiju for dinner, if you don't line up in advance, you will have to wait at least an hour before you can eat.

In addition, there is a generous salary every month.

Moreover, a three-year deadline will be set with them!
In other words, only served in the army for three years.

After all, what Xu Mu promised, within three years, the world will be wiped out!

As for three years later, if they wish to stay in the army, they can continue to stay.

If you don't want to, you can take off your armor and go home, and the Lord's Mansion will help you distribute errands and farms!

All in all, as long as you join the army, you can enjoy the privileges that these ordinary people have never enjoyed in their entire lives!
After the military parade.

The tens of thousands of people watching in front of the palace went home one after another.

Then word of mouth spread.

He told his relatives about the recruitment of soldiers in the lord's mansion.

The first batch to respond were those hot-blooded men who had just turned eighteen.

They have older brothers who can take care of their parents.

They are also married, and most of their wives are pregnant.

After discussing with the family.

These teenagers from the farmland...

That night, the first batch arrived at the guard outside Luoyang City.

"We want to apply!"

Soon, a special official in the guard came to be responsible for the registration.

And give them their first enlistment fee!

The real deal consistent money!

Almost equivalent to the annual expenditure of normal farmers!
These teenagers were high-spirited, disdainful of money, and directly gave the money bags to the relatives who came with them, and then bid farewell to their relatives outside the guard.

"Father, the child is not filial, and I can't be filial in the past three years! But the lord is right, we can have today's life, it is because the frontline soldiers sacrificed their lives and sprinkled blood in exchange for it! My father once sent me to study in a private school in the country. After two years of study, the child understands some truths! Under the overturned nest, there will never be any eggs! The husband is born in a country, and his heart has been resolved for a long time!"

"Father, my son has never read any books, but my son also knows that whoever wants to destroy our life and collect our taxes is our enemy! My son has killed the enemy, so take care of me!"

"There's nothing to say, big brother, take good care of your mother. If I go here, I will find a family of ten thousand to come back!"

"Huan'er, after three years, I will come back to see our children for my husband!"

……

Outside the guard.

Scene after scene.

Moved with sadness.

After the exaggeration of the military parade and Xu Mu's speech.

The reasons for the first batch of teenagers who rushed to the guard to join the army were different.

Some are to gain fame, and some are to protect the hard-won good days now...

But without exception.

These teenagers were all shocked by the scene during the day.

This is a high-spirited age.

Inspired by Xu Mu, all of them actively applied for the army.

After hearing the noise outside the guard, Zhang Xutuo walked out after hearing the news, and seeing the outside of the guard surrounded by hundreds of people, he was filled with emotion.

"The hearts of the people are available, 3000 million people want to recruit 20 troops, it's easy!"

At first, when the lord said that the people should be recruited voluntarily, he didn't believe it.

After all, since ancient times, people have been afraid of death.

Except for the perverted period of the Qin Dynasty, when the folk customs were tough, all the people went to the battlefield desperately for a military exploit.

That's why the king of Qin swept Liuhe and ruled the world.

Now the lord uses good governance and a military parade to inspire these people, and the effect is actually no worse than the military incentives during Shang Yang's reform.

In comparison, this effect is actually better.

Because the people are defending their own interests!

After going to the battlefield, I will do my best.

Such soldiers will be trained very quickly!
that night.

In the guards outside Luoyang City, more than a thousand people were recruited.

Most of them are teenagers.

At this high-spirited and blood-swelling age, they react the fastest.

And on the second day...

Those simple people, who were older, thought a lot, and they also went to the guard.

First of all, the enlistment fee is consistent, which can relieve the urgent needs of their families.

Secondly, there is a military salary every month.

And earn more than they did doing errands...

They can pass through the military camp and be sent to their families.

After understanding the various preferential conditions, more and more people poured into the guard!

On the second day, the guards outside Luoyang City recruited more than [-] people!
And the conscripts... have already started to line up in a long line!
The scene was magnificent.

Outside the guard, according to Xu Mu's request, various recruitment slogans were posted.

Such as "We are waiting for you in the army", "If you are a man, join the army", "What kind of woman do you like, real men only like steel knives"...

All in all, they are all very easy to understand and inspiring slogans.

Let the people who have not been bombarded by information in this era go directly to the top.

……

Three days later, more than [-] new recruits were recruited in Luoyang City alone!

Both Zhang Xutuo and Fang Xuanling were extremely excited.

At the same time, a series of paintings by Yan Liben were also mass-produced.

It was distributed to the 36 states of the whole county through the Lord's Mansion, and full-scale recruitment began.

Through these lifelike paintings, those ordinary people who failed to see the military parade that day can restore the shocking scene of that day.

and……

Driven by the large-scale upsurge of joining the army triggered by Luoyang, soon, the people of the 36 prefectures in the county also began to line up outside the guards.

Why don't men wear a Wu hook? It has become the consensus of all men in the 36 prefectures of Henan County!
