General Qin

Chapter 34 Enlistment

A large military camp.

The soldiers recruited from the townships under the jurisdiction of Xianyang are gathering.

The military service system of the Qin State is a combination of farming and war, combining soldiers with agriculture. Men of the right age plowed the fields on weekdays and had to serve one month of military service a year, receiving corresponding military training and engineering labor.

If a war breaks out, according to the needs of the country, these reserve soldiers will be recruited by administrative organizations at all levels to join the war.

Soldiers, like flowing water, gathered together from every township to every county, and finally condensed into a monstrous wave that swept across the world.

Now that the horn of war has sounded, the king of Qin ordered another conscription to go north to support the general Wang Jian and destroy the country of Yan in one fell swoop.

In front of the barracks, Zhao Tuo handed out his biography, and the military official in charge of registration took it, carefully looked at the information on the amulet, and suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Zhao Tuo?"

"Wei. I also ask the officials for advice."

Zhao Tuo responded.

The military official looked at Zhao Tuo in surprise. The boy in front of him was only fifteen years old, but he enlisted in the army with a talisman issued by the state captain's mansion. It was very special, and it was not something ordinary people could get.

Moreover, the other party has a family name in front of him, and he is a duke at a young age, so he might not be the son of some noble family.

But if you are a son of a nobleman, why do you start as a pawn?

I don't understand.

"Nothing, just to make sure."

The military official shook his head, and didn't ask any more questions. The boy has a test pass, so he just needs to register according to the procedure.

He lowered his head and seriously wrote Zhao Tuo's information on the bamboo slips.

When Zhao was destroyed before, Guanzhong soldiers had already been conscripted once, and a large number of young and strong people left. They are either stationed in Zhongshan, or stationed in various parts of Zhao State, or have already buried their bones in other places.

Therefore, the number of soldiers recruited this time is not much, and young people like Zhao Tuo who voluntarily enlist in the army are naturally welcome, especially since he has a special order from the State Commander's Mansion.

After the military official registered the information, he took out a wooden stick from the wooden box next to the case, wrote a few words on it, and handed it to Zhao Tuo.

"Xintun Gengshi, go inside and turn right, the fourth row, the seventh room, there is a sign on it."

"Thank you."

Zhao Tuo smiled lightly, took the stick from the officer's hand, and walked into the gate of the camp.

The camp here is not a real combat barracks, but a semi-permanent facility specially used to gather soldiers. It is more similar to the soldiers' houses in counties and counties. It is only used for temporary reorganization. They will go to the real barracks in a unified way.

After entering the gate of the camp, all he saw were rows of low rammed-earth houses. Zhao Tuo followed the instructions of the military officials and walked all the way to the earthen house where Gengshi was.

There is a big "Geng" character written on the wall with paint. Although the paint color has peeled off a lot, it is still very conspicuous, and I am not afraid that others will not find it.

What, what do you say you can't read?

Compare the words on the wooden strips to find them, they look the same.

I don't know how many years the house has been built, the earthen walls are full of holes, and even a hole in the wall can be seen.

If you lie on it, you can see what the people inside are doing without entering the door.

But Zhao Tuo obviously had no interest in spying, so he pushed open the dilapidated wooden door and walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, there was a gust of hot wind, and there were all kinds of strange smells in the wind.

"That Yan man is one foot tall, with a blue face and red eyes, his teeth protruding from his mouth, and he looks really vicious. Just watch him stretch out the map and reach out to grab the dagger hidden in the map."

"That dagger is very poisonous. Other people will die next to each other. Even if a big hog is poked, it will immediately fall to death."

"Huh! The Yan people are so powerful, what should we do?" There was a burst of exclamation in the house.

"What are you afraid of? Your Majesty will be hurt by this mere Yan people."

"I saw that the Yan man's outstretched hand was empty, and the dagger had already been held by the king in advance. Seeing the sudden change in the situation, the Yan man was so scared that he was so scared that he turned around and ran away."

"Your Majesty went after him, but I didn't expect the Yan people's assassins to be so cunning that they circled around the pillars in the palace, so that Your Majesty could not catch him for a while."

"Such cunning Yan people dare to circle around the pillars, what should we do?"

"Hmph, isn't the king an ordinary person? With an idea, he turned around and chased in the opposite direction, and collided with the Yan assassin, and then heard a few 'swish swish', and the Yan man was hacked by the king. On the ground."

"Good! King Kamui!"

"As expected of a king!"

The whole room admired and applauded.

Zhao Tuo stood at the door, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

This is already what he has heard, I don't know how many versions of Jing Ke Assassin Qin.

The "Jing Ke walks around the pillar" said in this room is not the most outrageous, he has heard even more absurd and unbelievable versions.

Since the incident happened, the entire state of Qin, especially the Guanzhong area, has been boiling.

While hating the assassins of the Yan people, the common people in Guizhou began to imagine what happened at that time, and various versions of the story were born.

Of course, in all these stories, the assassins from the Yan people were despicable and shameless, and the king of Qin was tall, mighty and clever, and he saw through the assassins' tricks on the spot.

As for the truth, the leaders of Guizhou don't care, they only need to know that the Yan people assassinated, and Qin needs revenge.

Including even in the Qin government's notice to the common people, it only mentioned the assassination of the envoy Yan, and did not mention that he was reported by the deputy envoy Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo reckoned that if he mentioned his accusation of adultery, it might show that the king of Qin had been prepared and used the matter for profit, so he was invisible in the notice.

In this way, it is beneficial to Zhao Tuo, at least in the army, he does not have to worry about others looking at him in a strange light.

Of course, it’s just that the common people at the lower level didn’t know about it. The dignitaries at the upper level basically knew the truth of the matter. At that time, Zhao Tuo made a generous statement in the hall, and everyone in the hall saw it. The nobles of the country will know it sooner or later.

After the story was told, all the people in the room felt the cold wind blowing in from the door, and all turned their heads to look at each other.

Zhao Tuo squinted his eyes, looking at the scene in the room.

I saw a six-foot-wide aisle in the middle of this dilapidated earthen house, and on both sides of the aisle were two elongated earthen platforms, each with five mats of withered grass. Looking at the black and messy appearance of the withered grass, I didn’t know it. How many people have slept through it.

In the Qin Dynasty, there were five people in one army, and ten people in one team.

Ten people live in one room, and this earthen house is equivalent to a dormitory for ten people.

Before Zhao Tuo entered the room, there were already eight people in the room, squatting on the floor bragging, talking about Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Qin.

At the moment Zhao Tuo entered the door, all eyes fell on him.

"Good young gentleman, come in quickly."

On the right earthen platform, an eight-foot man spoke first, breaking the silence.

A smile appeared on Zhao Tuo's face.

The people in the room are his future robes.

Bang Wei is often referred to as "Guo Wei", the most famous person is Wei Liao.

According to the unearthed Qin Fengni, the official name of the Qin Dynasty was "Bang Wei".

The title of Guowei was changed because Liu Bang's "Bang" was taboo in Han Dynasty. Just like the "Xiangbang" in the pre-Qin period was changed to "Xiangguo" in the Han Dynasty
