Yuanyuan was a golden moon.
The armored cavalry headed south.
Under the moonlight that was clearer than the previous night, they were about to reach Guangzhou.
The soldiers and horses were tired, and Wang Ziteng ordered them to rest and reorganize.
A group of soldiers with yellow faces scattered into small groups and gathered outside the tent to chat.
"Oh, it's a pity we're in the middle of nowhere. Without seven or eight innocent girls, he could use them to vent his anger. Five or six brothers to use one.
That's enough. "
He added, "I've wanted to gamble for a long time. When we take Guangzhou,
Rob him until the sky and earth are dark.
Just go and gamble for a few days and nights. "
And also,
He missed the taste of human flesh that he had enjoyed when he was slaughtering Jinling.
His eyes turned green from thinking about it.
There was also a nostalgic knife that entered his body.
The taste of blood splattering everywhere. He thought of the torture of Jinling and all kinds of revenge on the peasants and lowly merchants along the way.
He cackled.
In the wilderness, beside the tent, the boundless.
It was the appearance of these living people.
But they seemed to have sharp teeth and shiny eyes.
Without exception, they were not afraid of death.
They were not afraid of killing people. They even enjoyed killing people.
After a round of intentional indulgence, they were unbridled and tyrannical.
They.
No longer treated people as people.
Prince Ziteng looked at his tiger and wolf army with satisfaction.
He himself.
But he was riding on a horse.
He looked into the distance and allowed the moonlight to shine on his body.
"Marshal? Aren't you going to rest? "
Ever since Wang Ziteng received the news of the incident in Guangzhou from the frontline spies, he had been pondering for a long time.
Wang Ziteng said, "Do you still remember who was in charge?"
"I only know that the ruthless one is called Lin Shan."
"Then do you know?" Wang Ziteng smiled. "His words are like a mountain. His brother's words are like the sea. The two brothers happened to take the meaning of the mountain of books and the sea of learning. "
When the clansman heard this, he was shocked and said, "Ruhai … Lin Hai, aiya, isn't this the son-in-law of the Jia family's great-aunt who died early? Then this Lin Ruoshan … "
Wasn't he the marshal's in-law?
Wang Ziteng did not speak anymore. He just let the horse slowly lower its head to chew the grass. He looked up at the moon and muttered to himself,
"August 15th …"
Little brother, I'll send you to reunite with your short-lived elder brother.
Guangzhou, port.
It was the first time such a long queue had appeared at the recruitment office.
A young man of eighteen was holding the hand of a seventeen-year-old girl.
In front of so many people, the two of them did not care about shame. Their faces were red as they stood there uneasily.
The young man shrank back under the stares of the people around him. The girl pulled him back. "You're not allowed to go back. If you want to come, let's come together. Let's go to the river together. "
The girl was shy and timid, her steps were slow and slow. The young man pulled her back, "Don't step back. If you want to come, we'll come together. If you want to leave, we'll drink together. "
"We're here to recruit soldiers, not to be ice mediums." The registrar waved his hand.
The young man blushed. "We, we're not here to look for … ice mediums."
The young lady suppressed her shame and said, "We are here to enlist in the army …"
It turned out that the two of them were holding hands to encourage each other.
This is a pair of lovers.
At this moment, the parents of the two families caught up from afar.
The young man hurriedly said, "Sir, can we join the army now?"
The Business League officials and Freedom Army soldiers who were registering couldn't help but laugh. "Hey! Are you guys eloping? "
The young man was ashamed, but the girl was bold. She mustered up her courage and said, "We've been deeply in love since we were young, but we only hate our parents for being stubborn and wasting our marriage until now. Yesterday, I saw Marshal Lin post a notice saying that in Guangzhou City, men and women are allowed to freely marry … "
When she said this, she lowered her head, unable to restrain her shame. She just firmly pushed the name card in her hand forward.
"I'm willing to defend Guangzhou City."
The young man hurriedly responded, "Marshal Lin said that if you join our Freedom Army, you'll protect our Guangzhou City. There are no rules in the Freedom Army, so you'll protect us."
An officer of the Freedom Army hurriedly stopped the two stubborn parents and smiled at the young man and woman. "Good, good! Register two people, a man and a woman. "
The people just responded to the young children with kind smiles.
On the other side, another strange pair had arrived.
It was a family of four. The oldest was in her forties, and the youngest was only fifteen.
The leader was a vigorous woman in her forties. Although her hair was white, she was still full of spirit. "Register."
"This … Who are you registering for?"
The woman pointed. "One, two, three, four. Me, my daughter, my granddaughter, and my daughter-in-law. "
The Business League official saw that the four women had white silk tied around their arms and were wearing hemp clothes.
This family was unusual.
He heard the housewife say, "We escaped from Shengjing. We want to avenge my husband, my son, and my grandson. The men in our family are all in the rebel army, and they all died in Shengjing. "
It turned out that they were the families of the martyrs of the allied rebel army.
This … The official was hesitant. This situation was special.
Unexpectedly, when the family of four saw the hesitation on the registrar's face, the housewife seemed to have misunderstood. She angrily slammed her palm on the wooden table and said, "Are you looking down on us?! My men are all iron-blooded men. None of them are cowards who surrender! Let me tell you, all the daughters in our family are tough as nails. None of them are weak! "
The Free Army officer quickly said, "We are all brothers who went against the imperial court. How could there be such a misunderstanding! Even if a small group of people in Shengjing surrendered, most of the rebel army are true heroes who would rather die than surrender! But, auntie, don't you plan to leave some descendants in your family? "
The people around him also looked at him with admiration.
When the housewife heard this, she hesitated for a long time. Then, she pulled out the fifteen-year-old girl at the back. The girl was unwilling and shouted, "I'm the best at using a saber. I want to avenge my grandfather, father, and brother!"
"You are not allowed to go. You have to stay and pass on your family. "The housewife paused." If your mother, your aunt, and I can't come back, then you will teach your children. Teach your children to practice martial arts from generation to generation! You must kill the imperial court's evil emperor Kong! "
Only then did the girl become silent.
Seeing this, the housewife said sincerely to the Business League registrar, "Please thank Marshal Lin on our behalf. Thank him for promulgating the law so that men and women can establish families and pass on their family names. "
"Of course, of course." The Business League official quickly said.
The housewife held the red tasseled spear tightly and slapped the name card on the table. She said loudly, "I am willing to protect Guangzhou!"
If this family was admirable, then the one who came later made people not know whether to laugh or cry.
This was a rich young master with delicate skin.
What was even more shocking was that he was still holding his orchid fingers. He was wearing a costume with pearls and jade ornaments. The thick ink on his face was not completely removed. He was dressed as a beauty. It was as if he had just gotten off the stage in the pear garden and went straight to the recruitment office. He was panting.
A group of servants behind him shouted, "Young master — — Langjun — — Come back. Master is going to get angry — —"
He shouted and stuffed the name card into the registrar's hands, "Quick, quick, I want to register!"
An officer recognized that this was the only son of the Cen family, a famous rich family in Guangzhou.
He was a hedonistic son of a rich family and didn't care about common affairs. He only liked to hang out in the pear garden.
"I say — — this — — little brother, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place."
The young master was angry. He even held his orchid fingers and said seductively, "If I want to register, then register. Don't talk nonsense!"
The registrar was dizzy from his actions. He remembered that Marshal Lin said that it was all up to the registrar. No matter rich or poor, male or female, old or young, there was no age limit.
Seeing that this young master had all four limbs and was not panting after running for such a long distance, he was afraid that his health was not bad. There was no reason not to register him. Helpless, he could only pick up the pen and write.
Just as he finished writing, the servants arrived, crying and wailing, "My Lord, you're such a noble, yet you're joining the army. How much injustice is this! Master's huge family business … "
"Shut up!" The young master angrily shook him off, "You almost ruined my makeup! Who wants his stinky money! I only want this! "
He carefully protected his costume and costume like he was protecting a treasure.
Seeing that the commotion was outrageous and everyone was watching the show, the soldiers of the free army could only go forward to stop him.
Young Master Cen, who was dressed in green, pressed his hand down and snorted, "Seeing that this person surnamed Lin is willing to abolish the so-called distinction between the three religions and nine schools, to give my Pear Garden justice. Master — — "
He paused, "I am willing to protect Guangzhou!"
The queue at the recruitment office was getting longer and longer.
There were grandparents and grandchildren who brought the old and the young.
There were young people who came despite their family's obstruction.
There were whole families going to war, father and son soldiers.
There were rich children who carried luggage and threw away their silk clothes.
There were poor legs and ragged clothes, carrying only pots of ointment.
There were actors, workers, scholars, unmarried women, flirtatious women, Taoist priests, monks, and even foreigners …
Guangzhou seemed to have become a melting pot.
The recruitment continued until the middle of the night.
Lin Ruoshan also sat alone in the meeting hall for the whole day.
"Commander, Mr. Xiaoxiang ran around to help us register for the whole day. He just returned to his room and was so tired that he fell asleep," a young female officer of the free army reported.
Lin Ruoshan then said, "Then, let's get ready. Deploy the firearms battalion, artillery battalion, infantry, cavalry, navy, and all the other battalions and tents. "
When the meeting hall was silent again, Lin Ruoshan slowly walked out with his hands behind his back. He looked at the big and round moon, "August 15th …"
