Chapter 118 Joining the Army
"I have no elders, and I am the only one in the family. I have the final say! I want to join the army!"
"I have elders, but my father agreed."
"My grandma agreed."
"My sister agreed."
"I have no elders anymore. If you don't let me join the army, I will be unable to stand on my knees."
"Get up, how can a man kneel down so easily when he has gold at his knees?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright black eyes and said sternly, "I have other plans for you, get up."
They stood up one after another and said eagerly, "What plans does Madam Hong have for me?"
"Take whatever you want." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with gentle eyes and said, "But there is still a difference between you and Shui Sheng and the others because you have been in the military."
"You train me, I believe I can catch up with them."
"I won't be worse than them."
"I will definitely train hard."
"Shui Sheng heard it, the little guy now has a very loud tone." Chen Zhongyuan tilted his head slightly and looked at Jiang Shuisheng and teased.
"Then give it a try!" Jiang Shuisheng said with his bright eyes looking at the boys who were newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers, and made a crackling sound with his fists.
Hong Lianshuo glanced at Jiang Shuisheng and said, "Don't scare them." His eyes fell on them again and he said, "You are also training, but the training is different. Is it okay to wait until you are eighteen years old and receive the ceremony of wearing a weak crown before officially entering the army?
"
"Ah! I have to wait until I'm eighteen!" They all said with dissatisfaction, pouting.
"What if I could defeat Colonel Chen and the others!"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Chen Zhongyuan with green eyes.
"Are you willing to accept the challenge?" Hong Lianshuo looked at Chen Zhongyuan with a smile.
"Okay, no problem." Chen Zhongyuan said angrily with a smile on his face, "I'm waiting for these little brats."
"Are you satisfied now?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a warm light in his jade-like eyes, "Plant on the ground first, and then we will train."
"As long as you let me join the army, I will follow your orders and farm the land first!" Each of them got a satisfactory answer, bowed their hands and retreated.
Lin Nanzheng looked at their departing figures and said with emotion, "This military service has always been dissatisfied with the recruitment, so they can only arrest them directly. Every family is crying as if there is no one left."
"That's not a narrow escape!" Jiang Shuisheng said with deep understanding.
Lin Nanzheng shook his head and said with a smile, "Everyone is rushing here, but they can't be driven away. It's hard to be in the army!"
"Maybe this massacre has touched them too deeply! If you don't want to be a lamb to be slaughtered, you have to become stronger!" Chen Zhongyuan said in a thunderous voice, "Actually, I am the same."
"Everyone is the same." Han Qinhu said with lingering fear.
"The conditions for us to join the army are so good! We have enough to eat, and we are taught how to read and write. We will teach more in the future, so why don't we come here in a hurry." Si Xi said carelessly.
"But people will die in war." Lin Nanzheng looked at him with deep black eyes and said.
"No one will die in this world!" Jiang Shuisheng said coldly.
Chen Zhongyuan looked at them with a pale face and said, "They slaughtered unarmed people. They didn't want to die, they wanted to survive in this troubled world. Although joining the army is not the only choice, it is a good choice."
Hong Lianshuo looked at Chen Zhongyuan in surprise with his black eyes flashing, what he said was reasonable.
"Mrs. Hong, what are you looking at me for?" Chen Zhongyuan touched his stubbled cheek and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"No, that's good!" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a smile and said.
"That's right!" Chen Zhongyuan said, blushing in embarrassment after being praised.

"We have to put the training matters aside and resolve the Qiuzhong matter first." Hong Lianshuo tapped his knee with his index finger and looked at them and said.
"What else can happen in a place like this? I think they are very active." Lin Nanzheng chuckled.
"When it comes to stomach problems, everyone is positive." Chen Zhongyuan chuckled, touched his stomach and said seriously, "The feeling of being hungry is unpleasant."
"What does Madam Hong want to say?" Han Qinhu looked at her with brown eyes and asked.
"People are plowing too slowly." Hong Lianshuo said simply and straightforwardly, "I want to borrow those horses."
"Ma, where did we get our horses?" Lin Nanzheng asked, blinking at her with confused eyes.
"I forgot to mention that there are a thousand horses in the palace, which were left behind by the Hu soldiers when they fled." Hong Lianshuo briefly introduced them.
Lin Nanzheng's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "That means they are all war horses." Han Qinhu nodded and said, "No, no, how can we let war horses plow the ground? That plowing is all the work of cattle.
Use horses..." He shook his head resolutely and said, "It's too bad for horses, it can't be done."
"We are in a hurry. Originally, the autumn planting should be carried out after the wheat harvest. The soldiers have been around for a month, and now more than half a month has passed. If we don't plant, what will we eat in the winter?" Hong Lianshuo's eyes were as warm as ink pills.
She looked at him and said patiently.
After hearing this, Lin Nanzheng took a few deep breaths and said worriedly, "These horses are not as docile as cattle. I'm afraid ordinary people can't use them to plow fields."
"It's simple. Count everyone who can ride a horse, and one of them will help plow the land first." Han Qinhu said without thinking.
Hearing this, Lin Nanzheng stroked his forehead and said, "A horse can travel thousands of miles, but it can't plow the land as well as an ox. It's better to plow the land than an ox!"
"The situation is urgent, and people are always too slow to plow the land." Hong Lianshuo pursed his lips and looked at him with deep black eyes.
"Can this man keep up with the speed of a horse? This horse can run faster than an ox." Lin Nanzheng added worriedly.
"It is true that when plowing the land, the pace of the horse needs to be consistent with the pace of the person leading the horse to plow the land." Hong Lianshuo nodded in agreement, "If the pace of the horse is too fast, the person plowing the land cannot adapt, and ultimately the plowing of the land cannot be guaranteed.
The efficiency." After thinking for a while, he added, "And the pace of this cow cannot be too slow, because the control of the plowing speed is in the hands of people."
"I have plowed the ground, and I know that it affects more than just the speed of cultivated land. Whether the land is flat or not, plowing flat land can be faster than sloping land." Chen Zhongyuan pondered for a while and then said, "The level of control of the cultivator should not be underestimated."
"What does this plow look like?" Hong Lianshuo suddenly asked curiously, "Is it easy to use? Is it light and easy to use? Does it save time and effort?"
"There is no way to save time and effort in plowing, especially if you just rely on people. Plowing the ground can exhaust a person to death." Jiang Shuisheng shook his head slightly and said with lingering fear.
"Ms. Hong, when it comes to plowshares, today's plowshares are all used by oxen. Whether this horse can be used remains to be discussed." Lin Nanzheng frowned and looked at her and said.
"Don't look at it. Most of these plowshares are used by oxen, so they are naturally not suitable for horses." Hong Lianshuo said without thinking, rubbing his chin with his index finger, thinking about how to improve the plowshare.
