Chapter 23
Although the middle-aged man cupped his hands and saluted, his attitude did not change at all.In other words, after knowing that the visitor was the army of the imperial court, the previous tension was gone, and it even seemed a little bossy.

Immediately, he said with a somewhat contemptuous tone: "Everyone has come from afar, and we are far away to welcome you. The Wubao is simple, so we will not entertain you. Come, send thirty shi of grain to Wang Shi, and support Wang Shi to discuss thief!"

"Damn it, treat us as beggars, right?" Yang Le was dissatisfied immediately, and complained in a low voice.

"We didn't come here to beg for food, it's just that the other party looks down on me so much, it's too contemptuous!" Zhang Mo frowned.

"Shuguang, the Patriarch of the Xin family doesn't seem to have a good opinion of us, and he will not plan to arrange for his children to join the army. We are just making fun of ourselves by staying here. We might as well leave early..." Zhu Yong obviously saw this too , said in a low voice.

"Is the imperial court's army so unpopular?" Li Ming couldn't figure it out.

"Leaving aside the solitary army, there is no official establishment yet. Others may think of us as defeated soldiers. Besides, there are only 500 people around, and we have to deal with thousands of Yellow Turban stragglers. I'm afraid he doesn't like us?" Zhu Yong With a wry smile.

Looking at Zhu Yong's expression, Li Ming was almost certain that this situation was normal.It's just that I don't know why, but I can't swallow this breath in my heart. The main reason is that the other party's attitude makes him unbearable!

"Master Xin, a certain is under the command of Zhu Jun, the right middle man of the great Han Dynasty, and Li Ming, the captain of the other department. He was ordered to recruit children from good families along the way to join the army, defend the family and defend the country, and fight against gold traitors. Now passing through your land, I dare to ask if the family has any plans to make contributions. The warrior?" Li Ming raised his head and shouted, why should they look down on him.

"The Xin family worked and studied in the heirloom, and never planned to develop in the military!" The middle-aged man frowned and said slowly.

"Perhaps the two behind you don't necessarily want to study hard in the cold window, and sit and watch the land of China being plagued by yellow turban thieves? What's wrong with the scholar? The scholar should be so weak that he should see the country ruined and his family destroyed, and still hold his books and study hard at home ?" Li Ming shouted, "I've heard a poem before: Why don't men wear Wu hooks to help the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty! Please go to Yuntai Pavilion for a while, if you are a scholar!"

This is one of the thirteen poems of Nanyuan written by Tang Dynasty poet Li He.The original intention was to collect the fifty states in Guanshan, not Yuntai Pavilion, but Lingyun Pavilion.It's just that there are only thirteen prefectures in the Han Dynasty, and Lingyun Pavilion did not appear, only the famous Yuntai Pavilion.

Fortunately, Li Ming was not too stupid to copy it, and reluctantly modified it.It doesn't matter if it's smooth or not, anyway, he also knows that he is a martial artist, so he doesn't need to have too much construction in poetry.

"Good poetry! It's just that the style of poetry is seven words?" The young boy shouted suddenly, but was pulled back by the elder.

"Oh, Li is just a vulgar person. He hasn't read any books. How can he know so many rules of poetry? He improvises and makes a fool of himself!" Li Ming cupped his hands and smiled. In fact, he knew very well that he had already aroused interest in teenagers.

"The seven-character poem style is unprecedented, but if it can be carried forward, it can be said to be a school of its own. Not to mention that this poem has fulfilled the true meaning of fame and fortune. It is really a good poem!" Lang immediately nodded and commented, and his elder brother also nodded slightly, but he didn't show his expression.

"Patriarch of the Xin family! How many official positions does a big man have? That's thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, how can we do it without any insurance?" Li Ming saw the young man taking the bait, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, "Besides, the army also needs civil servants to contribute. I'm afraid When your son grows up, he doesn't like others to say that he is a "crowded turtle who only knows how to hide in the Wubao when the country is in crisis"?"

"I'm not a coward, I want to join the army! Father!" The young boy shouted suddenly.

"You're only 16 years old, joining the army is nothing but nonsense!" The Patriarch of the Xin family suddenly felt helpless.

"How old was the champion when he joined the army? 17 years old! How old was Gan Luobai? 12 years old! The most indispensable thing in life is dreams and the courage to chase them! Let me ask you in today's world. What is better than military merits? Do you really want to go through the experience slowly in the court until your blood is full of enthusiasm?" Li Ming raised his arms and shouted.

"Daddy!" The young man made up his mind immediately, "It's good to be an official and have a big brother, my son wants to go to the battlefield!"

"Nonsense! They're just miscellaneous troops, not even the regular army! If you really want to join the army, I can arrange for you to join the regular army, whether it's Lu Zhi's, Huangfusong's, or even Zhu Jun's. Why bother?" Put them under their command? Not to mention, they plan to fight against thousands of Yellow Turban stragglers with 500 people, isn't that going to die?" The Patriarch of the Xin family stomped his feet, dissatisfied with how easily the youngest son was attracted.

At the same time, in my heart, I couldn't help being very upset with Li Ming, didn't I just give him a little embarrassment, how could I just abduct someone else's youngest son?It's just that seeing the young son's determined appearance now, he didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, the boss was steady, even though he showed an obvious expression of interest, he didn't take any further action.The Xin family cultivated and studied the family heirloom, the key is to have a relationship with the Yuan Clan, the future is bright in the future, why should they take the military route.

"If Li's predictions are correct, you should have other relations. It's just that the more you use the favor, the less you use it. Don't you plan to be promoted after your two sons become officials? Besides, it's good to start from scratch, and you don't have to be restrained by superiors and colleagues. It is also easier to obtain. Besides, if the credit is enough, is it still far from becoming a regular army?" Li Ming laughed.

At this moment, let alone the head of the Xin family, only Yang Le and Zhang Mo behind Li Ming, and even the subordinate officers, held their breath and planned to fight hard.It is definitely a matter of Guangzong Yaozu if he can really spell out a general.

"You! Well, I'm afraid of you!" The head of the Xin family sighed, and he saw determination in the eyes of the youngest son.This young son's talent is actually better than his elder brother's, but his temperament is also more unstable. Now he finds that this son has grown up, his wings have grown hard, and he is no longer obedient.

After thinking about it carefully, I have to admit that no matter how good the relationship with the Yuan Clan is, can both sons become officials?Resources are limited, and there are only a few official positions. The eldest son will definitely become an official, and the youngest son is afraid... Thinking of this, the Patriarch of the Xin family also reluctantly agreed with Li Ming's words.

A quarter of an hour later, the Wubao was opened wide, and the young man joined the army with four hundred servants.After all, he is his youngest son, and he has to work hard in the army, so the Patriarch of the Xin family will naturally not let him be wronged.At least, he will never be allowed to start as a soldier!
Li Ming naturally reciprocated, and immediately appointed the young man as a Marquis, even higher than Zhang Mo and Yang Le.It's just that it's hard for the two of them to say anything. The four hundred soldiers around the young man are far superior to the soldiers under their command in terms of loyalty and obedience.

"Speaking of which, what's your name?" Li Ming was about to make an appointment when he remembered that he still didn't know the boy's name.

"My subordinate's name is Simpi! This subordinate not only learned swordsmanship and riding, but also learned the art of war and counting. I dare not say that in archery, but I can hit six out of ten arrows!" Simpi took the opportunity to introduce himself.

Li Ming didn't know at all that he was the Simpi in history, and at this moment, he was only a 16-year-old boy.But because of Li Ming's intervention, life has obviously entered a new turning point.

"Welcome to join the army, Xin Junhou!" Li Ming laughed suddenly.

 Ask for collection!Ask for a recommendation!
