Chapter 162: The eldest son joins the army
Although he, the Zhejiang inspector, was of no quality, but the emperor was the emperor's decree, so he should have given him a lot of things, including seven guards, one clerk, one groom, and one long-super. These ten were his subordinates, and they were paid by the court. If they were not enough, no one would care about hiring a few more, but he had to pay for it himself.
Silence felt deeply that he was erected by the court as a benchmark. I am afraid that the tree would attract the attention of the Japanese and pirates. However, he could not resist the order and refused to obey it, so he had to strengthen his own protection... But if he put his hope on these seven soldiers, it would be purely a pity that he had long life.
He thought for a long time and decided to let Chen An go out of the city: "Take this musket and go to Jianhu Town, find a black man named Tiezhu, and say to him: 'Young Master Chen is an official, please go and be the captain of the guard. If you have a good brother, you might as well bring it together.'"
"Young Master, we have no organization." Chen An whispered: "If you have more, you have to pay for it yourself."
"The mansion promised to raise five for me, and the county promised to raise three for me." Chen Si said softly: "I will raise ten more by myself, so you can take it to about twenty."
Chen An was a clever guy, and immediately smelled a dangerous breath from these words: "Young Master, we are so busy in the city. It seems that we can't use so many guards, right?"
Silent smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think the 2300 taels of funds per month of the court support me in the city?"
Chen An shrank his neck and said, "I knew the emperor's job was not that easy to do... but the world is full of chaos..."
"Noisy!" Chen Mo glared at him, and Chen An immediately opened the way.
When he walked to the door, he heard the silent voice again: "Bring four guards and be careful on the way." Chen An immediately smiled and said, "I knew that the young master was a good person."
As soon as Chen An walked away with his guard, Chen Jing hurried in and said to Chen Si: "Go and have a look, the eldest son's father is going to break his leg."
Chen Si said in surprise: "What's wrong?" But Chen Jing pulled out and walked out: "When he walked, he said." The two of them got on the carriage parked outside and drove towards Baoyouqiao Street.
Chen Jing told him on the carriage that yesterday, the eldest son was very happy to see his father, so he took the opportunity to ask for his army with General Yu to fight against Japanese pirates. Dad Yao was immediately dissatisfied and scolded the eldest son and locked him up all night. He asked again this morning, but the boy was determined to join the army!
Chen Jing said with a look of fear: "I went to look for him this morning, and then I saw his father holding a stick as thick as a bowl and was about to knock his legs. I said you can persuade him, so his father didn't do it."
Chen Si frowned after hearing this, "When he talked to his eldest son the night before yesterday, he didn't mean that?"
Chen Jing hit his thigh and said, "I remember that before you received the reward yesterday, the eldest son and Yu Dayou were next to each other, as if the man named Yu was telling him something."
"This guy is quite capable. He took time to incorporate his eldest son." Silence couldn't help but smile.
"What? According to your opinion, I don't object to the eldest son joining the army?" Chen Jing glared and said, "Why do you think only for the court and not for the brothers when you become a superior?"
Silence hammered him and said, "Stop talking nonsense. It is because I am a brother that I respect his choice."
Chen Jing was not convinced, and Chen Si no longer defended him, but said, "Let's talk about it when I get to the place."
The two families were not far away, and soon they arrived outside the Sanren Business. The two hurriedly got out of the car and walked directly from the store to the backyard. They saw the eldest son kneeling on the ground with bare back, while Dad Yao sat opposite him angrily, without even looking at him.
Hearing the footsteps, Dad Yao turned around and saw that he was silent. He quickly stood up to greet him, "Young Master is here." Because he was so angry, he couldn't squeeze out a smile on his face.
Chen Si went over and took his hand and said, "Uncle, why did the eldest son make you angry?"
Dad Yao said in a muffled voice: "He wants to join the army!"
Silently pulled Dad Yao to sit down on the silence, and gave a wink at the eldest son and said, "How could you have this kind of thought?"
The eldest son's eyes were black and his eyes were covered with bloodshot, but his expression was extremely firm: "I just want to be a soldier! I can't sleep if I don't join the soldier."
"As for this serious?" Chen Si asked softly, this time he was not pretending.
"As soon as I close my eyes, I see the scene of that night. Those beasts were murdering and raped on the boat, shooting arrows at the people who fell into the water. They laughed loudly in the pool of blood," the eldest son clenched his fists and said, "It is clearly mocking me that there is no one in China!"
The first time Mr. Yao heard him say this, he was very shocked, but he was still unwilling to change his mind and said: "The rules set by Taizu, fighting is the business of the military households of the garrison. We households only care about the labor service and taxes..."
The eldest son said in anti-voice: "Dad, what you are talking about is the old Huangsheng! Chaosheng and General Yu both told me that our garrison in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have already gone to nine out of ten. I pointed at these people to fight against Japanese pirates, and the whole of Zhejiang will be lost!"
Dad Yao was surprised and said, "Who is fighting now?"
"It's a good people like you!" A thick voice sounded, and Yu Dayou's burly body appeared at the gate of the courtyard. He bowed to the silent first, and then said to Dad Yao: "The eldest son and brother just said that the ward is empty, which is the truth. In order to deal with the rampage of Japanese pirates, the court specially ordered the governors of the coastal provinces to recruit soldiers."
"Is there any difference?" Although Dad Yao was said to be fainted, the idea of ​​'A soldier for one day, his descendants must be soldiered' was deeply ingrained, which made him still unacceptable. He looked at Yu Dayou with vigilance and said: "I understand that the eldest son wants to join the army. The Japanese pirates ruined the common people. If they are a man, they want to fight with them. But when the Japanese pirates are gone, he will continue to be the soldier! His descendants must continue to be the current one! They will blame him to death!"
Yu Dayou shook his head and smiled, "Brother, listen to me, recruiting soldiers is absolutely different from the guards. They are not hereditary, but come here. Although they are soldiers, they are still affiliated with the people and retired. After fighting the Japanese/pirates, he can still come back to be his little boss and support his children to study and study... and become a person like Lord Shen."
What Mr. Yao was most worried about was the problem of his descendants' future. He heard this and said skeptical: "You are not...what, what, is it a delaying plan?"
"Hahaha..." Yu Dayou burst out with a hearty laughter, and reached out to take out a wooden sign from his arms and said, "If you don't believe me, just take a look."
Dad Yao took it, looked at it with his back and forth, and there were few words he knew, so he had to hand it to silently and said, "Young Master, help the old man Niannian."
Silently, he read to the densely packed small words on the front: "Zhang Jingyi of Nanjing Ministry of War and Governor of Zhejiang, Fujian, Shandong, Guangdong and Guangxi: Protecting the country is the basis for men, how can we all entrust all military households? Now that the country has something to do, we specially recruited all the people from the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Japanese. Although we have clearly stated that the people will return to the farm, we are afraid that the people will not know everything and have any worries. Therefore, this official engraved small receipts and used them as the quality of the people. Anyone who applies to the recruitment will give them to them and promise that the matter will be settled, and then he will be the trust of the people."
After turning it over, I saw two lines of words written in one big and one small. The small words are "the people who are recruiting" and the big one is "Yao's eldest son".
"That's true." Dad Yao wrote this.
"You can always promise your child to leave with General Yu, right?"
The big problem ahead was solved, and Dad Yao trembled with his lips and said, "Then, then..." When he thought of his son facing those evil Japanese pirates like evil spirits, he could not let go of this.
Yu Dayou was obviously used to doing such abducting business, and he slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, brother, the eldest son is going to be a personal soldier for me, and he will never leave me." He said, pointing to his big face and said, "I am a dignified general... Oh no, the deputy general, and I will not go to the battlefield unless I have to."
In the ears of Dad Yao, this undoubtedly ensured the safety of the eldest son. He finally felt a little relieved, but he still couldn't let go of that mouth. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said to the silent: "Young Master, please come up with an idea for me, I'll listen to you."
Silence was silent. Although he promised his eldest son would help him when he was in the Huarentan, it was really difficult to make this decision now that he had to send his brothers to the battlefield with his own hands.
Seeing that he was not talking for a long time, the eldest son whispered: "Chaosheng, you understand me the most, and you must support me!"
Chen Si finally nodded slowly and said, "I understand." As he said that, he raised the lower collar of his robe, he knelt side by side with his eldest son and said, "If the eldest son doesn't come back, I will be your son..." Dad Yao panicked and helped him, and said repeatedly: "Young Master will never do it."
As he said that, he glanced at the eldest son and said, "The old man has another son, let me give this to Daming." However, his face was full of tears.
The eldest son and his family were reluctant to leave. Chen Ji and the other three went away first. Seeing that they had something to say, Chen Jing said, "I'll go there and wait for you." After that, he didn't look at Yu Dayou and left.
He smiled silently and apologized, "Brother Yu, don't mind, he has this temper."
Yu Dayou shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, I've encountered many such situations."
Looking at his pale temples and thick skin, Chen Shu suddenly felt sour in his heart: "It's not easy for you."
Even though he was a man who was strong, Yu Dayou was a little moved and said, "I will thank you for your understanding."
