Chapter 44 Expansion of the Army
"proclaim oneself emperor?"

When Mi Ling got the news from the clerk, Mi Ling was sitting upright reviewing the accounts, and jumped up when he heard the news, dumbfounded.

Since the first Yellow Turban Rebellion, every year in every state and county in the world, countless thieves and bandits have devoted themselves to the great cause of rebellion.

At least a dozen times a year, as many as dozens of months.

But even if it is so frequent, there are many rebels, but very few proclaim the emperor.

Back then when Zhang Jiao gathered a crowd of millions and eight prefectures responded, almost sweeping the world, he did not dare to claim the title of emperor in vain.

The instigators are still cautious, and the latecomers rarely dare to make mistakes.

Especially under the banner of the Yellow Turban, if one proclaims himself emperor, let alone the people of the world, his own family members will do the opposite.

A great virtuous teacher is nothing but a self-proclaimed general. What kind of family do you dare to surpass him to become emperor?

Of course, there are always fools.

For example, at that time in Yizhou, there was a group of yellow scarf bandits, whose leader was Ma Xiang, who occupied only three counties and declared himself emperor, which was ridiculed by the people of the world.

The final result, from the incident to the defeat, persisted for less than a month, and the soldiers were defeated and died, and the corpses were separated.

Now, it seems that a second person is about to appear.

"He has no more than [-] soldiers and now he proclaims himself a general, and he still uses the banner of Zhang Jiao's reincarnation. I already think this son is extremely arrogant."

Mi Ling muttered to himself, and sat down slowly: "But I never thought that he would be so crazy that he only occupied a county. This."

"Is this the sweet dream of becoming an emperor?"

While talking, Mi Ling shook his head again and again: "Such a stupid and arrogant boy can even gather people to make trouble, and let him get away with it by luck."

It seems incomprehensible, let alone unbelievable.

The buddy also showed disdain, and echoed:
"Shopkeeper, you don't know yet, not only is the king's government miserable, but all the thieves under him are also vulgar and ignorant of etiquette."

"Then Wu Niu found some storytellers in the county and asked what the emperor wanted, and the scholars said they wanted to build palaces, make dragon robes, and rickshaws."

Speaking of this, the man paused, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Then Wu Niu and the storytellers don't know what a carriage is, so they directly found a carriage and painted the whole body of the carriage with gold powder. They said that since If it is carried by the Son of Heaven, it must be the same as the golden pole, and it is also golden."

"Hahaha."

Hearing the clerk's vivid description, Mi Ling couldn't help but burst out laughing, and asked while laughing, "What else?"

"I also heard that Wang Zheng is going to proclaim himself Wencheng Wu Deze and the Holy Heavenly Emperor of the Cangsheng. He will be officially enthroned in Zhao County in three days. All the thieves under him will be generals."

"It is said that there must be more than a few hundred, or some kind of hereditary replacement, and they will be distributed around Zhao County."

"The fields of those gentry families before are also within the scope of enfeoffment."

The last sentence made Mi Ling's face turn cold immediately, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "The thief really deserves to be killed!"

Although his family's property business in Zhao County has not been intruded by thieves, Mi's family is also a leading landlord in Xuzhou. Hearing Wang Zheng's actions, he couldn't help feeling sad and even more angry.

"A total of several thousand people, how many hundred generals are here?" Mi Ling snorted coldly: "It's really going against the grain and bringing on its own destruction."

Speaking of this, he felt a little emotional: "It seems that I was thinking too much before."

"When we met for the first time that day, this child was pretending, but he was intimidated by him."

"Later, he completely let go of this transaction. My family set the price on its own, and never sent someone to monitor it. I was still worried at the time. I always felt that things were abnormal, and maybe there was something strange."

"Looking at it now, this guy is an ignorant and stupid thief, who never thought of this episode at all!"

Hearing this, the man's eyes lit up, and he asked, "That being the case, shall we inform the pawn?"

"It's still too late to do tricks."

Hearing this, Mi Ling's expression changed, after thinking about it, he still waved his hand:
"Then there's no need, anyway, this thief's life is not long, so why should we make trouble."

Even when he thought this son had some tricks, Mi Ling didn't think that the other party could cause much trouble.

After seeing the information passed by his family, Mi Ling was even more convinced that the day of defeat for this gang of bandits was not far away.

After all, the gap between the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Bandits and Cao Cao's regular army is too great.

It's just that there are so many people but there is such a short-sighted leader, and Mi Ling feels a little sympathetic.

Claiming to be emperor is an act of treason.

When dealing with the Yellow Turban Bandits before, Cao Cao only paid attention to punishing the chief villain. I am afraid this time, he wants all the rebels to be buried with Wang Zheng.

"Three days later"

Thinking of Cao Jun's movements in the previous information, Mi Ling secretly estimated.

Not too late in time.

He told the clerk: "Go and inform the pawn, all the goods must be accounted for before today, and after notifying Wang Zheng, we will quickly ship out the goods."

"If Cao's army breaks through the city, this group of people can see this batch of goods, it will be troublesome."

"In this world, there is no difference between officers and soldiers and bandits."

"Yes."

Zhao County at this time.

Hundreds of Tianfu troops were beating gongs and drums, carrying baskets of rice, spreading out, shouting loudly along the streets and alleys.

"The Celestial Army is recruiting soldiers!"

"Men over the age of 15 and under the age of 40, as long as they are in good health, they can sign up and have two meals a day."

"If you go to battle to kill the enemy and get military merit, you can also get extra rewards, such as grain and gold and silver, so that the whole family can live a good life together."

"Elders with a certain skill are treated more favorably, forging iron, healing wounds, riding horses, being good at archery, reading and writing, etc., are treated favorably!"

"Not only do you manage meals every day, but you also get extra military pay every month!"

"Those who don't want to go to battle to kill the enemy can also sign up to join the auxiliary army and be responsible for building the city wall. There are no restrictions on men and women. No matter how much work you do, how much food you get, the more you do, the more you get."

Such straightforward words are for the convenience of the public to understand.

After the Tianjun circled the city three times in a row and ended the propaganda, the news that the Tianjun was going to recruit troops and expand its army quickly spread throughout Zhao County, causing quite a lot of discussion.

Cao Jun also recruited soldiers in Zhao County before, but they were simple and rude "La Zhuang men".

In contrast, Wang Zheng's approach is relatively soft, and there is not much resentment in everyone's heart.

Especially in this simple slogan, even if some words are half understood, it still makes many people quite excited.

Of course, most of them, like Mi Ling, are not optimistic about the future of the Tianjun.

After all, the historical record of the Yellow Turban bandits is there.

But this idea is completely inferior to the "rice" and "satisfaction" in the slogan.

Especially at this time, after the powerful families in the county were wiped out, many people are now unemployed.

At this time, either to fill their own stomachs, or to earn some money to support their families, and even some former rogues, they really wanted to join the army to obtain military functions and become officers.

So when there were seven or eight recruiting points in Zhao County, countless people rushed up.

Most of the time, Shengdou Xiaomin only cares about what is in front of him.

Some of them may have thought about how to deal with the officers and soldiers when they joined the Heavenly Army at this time to quell the chaos.

It's just that I can't take care of it.

From a thief?Bad reputation?

That's only for those who don't have to worry about food and clothing.
