Chapter 28 Foundation (Part 2) The most fickle thing in this world is the human heart. Before Tuohuan Timur and his son killed each other, some wealthy gentry families, salt tycoons, and down-and-out scholars in various parts of Huaiyang who had lost their privileges always felt that there was still hope for a comeback in the Yuan Dynasty, and that they still had a chance to turn over and follow Butcher Zhu settled old and new accounts together, so even if they chose to surrender on the surface, secretly, they tried every means to cause trouble for the General Manager. For their own safety, the trouble they caused was often not too big, and their methods were very Hidden, so although the officials at all levels in the General Manager's Mansion were annoyed, they didn't have much to do with these people. After Tuohuan Timur and Aiyoushili Dala faced each other with swords, these Yuan-minded people hiding in Huaiyang suddenly changed their faces. At this time, they finally discovered that the Yuan Dynasty was really There was no hope for them, and their "loyalty" could no longer be rewarded. Therefore, many of them made a 180-degree U-turn in their attitude toward the Huaiyang General Manager's Office. They did not openly and secretly compete with the government at all levels. On the contrary, they took the initiative to respond to various government orders and organized the younger generations of the family to actively participate, lest they fall behind others. "The dynasty is changing, the dynasty is about to change. Although Zhu Tutu comes from a humble background, his aura of emperor is very obvious. If he doesn't obey the heaven and accept the people at this time, how long will it take?" As for all the previous resentments, they have become a fleeting thing in an instant. The new dynasty needs people, and the new dynasty will naturally be controlled by the new rich. After the laborers rejoice, they will still be trampled under the feet of the laborers. This is the norm and the way of heaven. , non-manpower can turn things around. Although the Huaiyang General Administration now talks about the words "all people are created equal" all day long, and various government decrees are also trying their best to clear the way for newly emerging workshops and businesses, but "everyone is equal" "After all, it will not be the norm. After a period of fussing around, order will eventually return to orthodoxy, and people will eventually be differentiated into superiors and inferiors. If you don¡¯t believe it, look at it, now the son of Director Huang of the Industrial Bureau, the nephew of Director Yu of the Commercial Bureau, and the relatives and friends of the commanders and envoys of several major armies, which one is not a serious official, and which home is not a high-walled courtyard, and there are There are hundreds of hectares of fertile land, but a few years ago, none of them were hungry. After eating, there would be no tomorrow. Therefore, "all men are created equal" sounded scary at first, but now you look carefully, it is just a slogan for Mr. Zhu to win the hearts and minds of the people. Even if he does it now, it will be in vain sooner or later. Now that the Yuan Dynasty is completely hopeless, truly smart people should know how to change their strategies in time, no longer dwell on the grudges of the past, but put down their dignity and immediately let their sons and nephews find ways to integrate into the team of hard-working people of the new dynasty. , make contributions and establish a career. Only in this way can the family have a chance to rise again and slowly regain its past glory. From this point of view, the fight between Timur and his son happened at the right time. If it had been earlier, the Huai'an army would have been fledgling, and even if it wanted to go to the north, it would be powerless. If it were later, the government schools and universities under the Grand Governor's Mansion would A large number of "own people" will be cultivated. There will be enough civilian officials available during the Northern Expedition, and there is no need to recruit talents in an eclectic way to fill the vacancies that may arise in the officialdom of the newly recovered areas. It is neither sooner nor later than it is now. It is just right. The Huai'an army has enough strength to make the Northern Expedition. The number of civil servants in the Grand Governor's Office has increased but cannot keep up with the army. The conditions must be lowered and talents from all over the world must be recruited. It must be said that "meat eaters" are usually better than "meat eaters". Foodies" respond more quickly and know how to seize opportunities. Especially in an era of material scarcity, having a certain family background and background often means more adequate food, better education, more social interaction activities and a broader world. Vision, and the last four together often mean a person's overall competitiveness. Therefore, when the "smart people" from all over Huaiyang led their respective families to turn around, the General Manager's Office was set up in front of the registration offices for civil servants in various places, and it immediately became crowded. It was originally expected to take half a month to recruit all the places. , it was overcrowded in less than three days, and the review standards that were originally deliberately lowered were continuously raised again and again. Not only that, due to the influence of local gentry and down-and-out scholars, the image and future of the General Manager's Office in the market instantly became extremely bright. Especially after November, young people went to county schools and government schools to apply for admission. , suddenly increased significantly, and those who signed up for the martial arts hall were no longer limited to the sons and nephews of generals, officials and craftsmen under the Huaiyang General Manager's Office. There were young talents from all walks of life who were willing to join the army, even The young men queuing up at the gates of the military bureaus of various prefectures to apply for the draft are no longer refugees who don¡¯t have enough to eat and idle men who have no good way out. There are some "second generation ancestors" who are not good at reading or practicing martial arts, but whose family background is relatively well-to-do. ", he also repented and joined the army to gain fame. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡If you are victorious in every battle and plan your way out as a soldier, the risks will be much smaller than before, while the benefits will increase several times. Therefore, for many scoundrels who are unwilling to live a mediocre life and are temporarily unable to discover their own strengths. For a young man, joining the army to kill the enemy is undoubtedly a choice worth considering. What if the Northern Expedition succeeds? What if General Manager Zhu really becomes the emperor in the future? You are not qualified to be ranked in Ling Yan, at least assist him. After fighting in the country, the previous decrees of the Guanda General Manager's Office gave the best treatment to one's own people. As long as they did not die on the battlefield, even if they were missing an arm or an eye, they would be able to work as a black-clad city manager after retirement and eat public food for the rest of their lives. We all have been clever since we were young, and our bodies are stronger than those of the refugees. Why can't we get a better result than being an urban management officer? As the saying goes, everything in the world is for profit. When something suddenly becomes profitable, even if there are high risks, it cannot stop people from scrambling to get involved. But in the end, who is lucky enough to get more than expected? Even if the benefits are high, it is unknown who will accidentally lose his life. This rush for service soon spread throughout Xusu, Huaiyang, and in a blink of an eye, it also swept across the Yangtze River, including Jiqing, Taiping, Zhenjiang, Ningguo and other places that were relatively new to the General Administration. It was also blown all over, but the people from all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River were not included in this recruitment, so the passenger ships going north suddenly became crowded, and many young people who could not apply and were recruited in the south of the Yangtze River packed up. Salute and board the ship to pursue the only opportunity to change your life. Many of the teenagers left home secretly without the permission of their elders, so they had no relatives or friends to take care of them on the ship. Many of the teenagers were traveling for the first time in their lives. Their eyes were darkened, and no one even knew they were from the gathering. Qing arrived in Yangzhou, how long did it take to walk by water? After arriving on the north bank of the Yangtze River, he didn't know what to do next. What procedures and formalities needed to be completed before he could sign up for the army or apply for a civil service job? He just relied on the unique passion of young people to do it. As a result, among the traveling companions, those with obvious Huaiyang accents became popular, and many people instinctively gathered around them, hoping to get some advice and guidance. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from home. "Actually, it's not that troublesome. The general manager always pays attention to rules. The closer to his home, the clearer the rules. As long as everyone follows his rules, there is no reason to be turned away." From Jiangwan Port. On a public carriage bound for Yangzhou City, Chang Xiaoer was shaking a silk fan and talking eloquently. The temperature in winter was already very low, and the humidity on the riverside was heavy, but he didn't feel that waving the fan was unnecessary. On the contrary, every time he waved it, and every time the cold wind blew on his face, his energy level increased. , the energy when speaking became more and more abundant, "If you want to study, of course the best schools are Huaxia University and the Yangtze River Lecture Hall, but Huaxia University requires you to graduate from Fu Xue, and the Lecture Hall also requires you to know at least two thousand people. and can recite "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War". Did you know that it was a military book written by Sun Ce and Sun Bofu during the Three Kingdoms period? Sun Ce was Sun Quan's eldest brother. He gave the jade seal to Yuan Shu, and then With more than two thousand borrowed soldiers and horses, he swept across Jiangdong. If he hadn't been killed by assassins, there would have been nothing wrong with Cao Cao and Liu Bei. The Three Kingdoms would have returned to Wu long ago. " "Oh," the audience nodded. , I deeply admire Sun Tzu Ce's ability. There are also people who have read a lot of books and know in their hearts that this grandson is not that grandson. But now they want Chang Xiaoer to lead the way, so they can only pretend to be confused. "So, I think we can't count on the university or the martial arts hall, let alone the difficulty in passing the exam. Think about it, it takes three to four years for a university to become an apprentice, and the martial arts hall, even for infantry It will take more than two years. If you are unlucky enough to get into the gunnery department, you will have to study arithmetic for another half a year. By the time you finally graduate, this battle will have already been played. The swords and guns are stored in the warehouse, and the horses are released in Nanshan. No one can find them. Do serious things." Chang Xiaoer has been crazy about being alone since he was a child. When he saw a carriage of people cheering for him, he would even spit out his words. "As for joining the army, it is much simpler. The rule is to be strong and run fast. Be quick and be courageous. Of course, if you can ride a horse and shoot arrows, it will be easier to get admitted. If you can ride a horse, you can be a scout. If you can shoot an arrow, you can directly become a musketeer. There is no need to go through the training of auxiliary soldiers and the selection of combat soldiers. Go there and share the land, eat the food, and get the military pay. " "Hey." On the carriage, several relatively tall young men clenched their fists and were full of pride. The air in Jiangnan is humid and horses are prone to illness, so there are not many people who can ride a horse. Yes, but there are quite a few people who can ride a buffalo. Come to think of it, it¡¯s the same as riding a buffalo, so the difference between riding a buffalo and riding a horse is not that big. Anyway, Yangzhou is far away from my hometown, so I had to say it when I signed up. I know how to ride, but I can¡¯t sayYou can also get away with it. "Don't be stupid and lie." Chang Xiaoer seemed to be able to see through the minds of the big guys. He shook his fan and pretended to be a mysterious warning, "The general manager values ????the rules, so he hates others breaking his rules and lying. People obviously don't respect the rules. Not only will they not be able to serve as soldiers, but no one will even want to be auxiliary soldiers. Let me tell you, the biggest advantage of us people is reading and literacy. Although we apply for the martial arts hall There is definitely no chance of going to university. It is probably difficult to apply for a civil service job, but it is easy to get ahead as a soldier if you can read. As long as you pay more attention and don't become a boss, being a gang leader is better than those who are blind. It will be easier, and then we can rise step by step. We can understand military orders and make suggestions for our superiors. We can work hard in the army for three to five years. If nothing else, hey, we won¡¯t be able to become a battalion commander. It¡¯s too difficult.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right.¡± After hearing this, the teenagers nodded again. Although they couldn¡¯t study at home, they knew hundreds of words more than ordinary people, but now this is their biggest advantage. If they go to the army to compete with illiterate people, their chances of winning are definitely much higher than their opponents. "But, then again, just being able to read and write is not enough. We have to be able to observe people's movements, know how to advance and retreat, and know what the superior likes. At the same time, we have to support each other. As the saying goes, a fence has three stakes, and a hero has three stakes. We are a gang, we can ride boats together, ride cars together, and join the army together. This is fate. We will stick together in the army and help each other. As long as one of us can get ahead, the rest will not have to worry about their background. " "Yes, let's help each other." "Brother Chang, we listen to you. Whatever you say, we will do what we do." "Brother Chang, from now on, the brothers will follow you." The young people were so excited that they all became excited. Respond loudly. "Well, as long as I have someone to eat from, everyone will be indispensable. My home is in Yangzhou City, across the street from the Bingke Yamen. The head of the Bingke is still a neighbor of my family. When we come back, I will be with you. He said, let him recruit all our brothers and then live and die together, I don¡¯t believe it, just rely on our brothers¡¯ ability, as long as we work together.¡± The more he said, the more excited he became, flesh and blood There were stars in his little eyes, and he seemed to see himself leading the carriage brothers, chasing the enemy northward, killing the enemy troops to pieces, leaving corpses everywhere, while the chief steward was watching him from behind, holding the With a record of meritorious service and gold, he was ready to be promoted to an official position and given a heavy reward. "Xiao Erzi, get out of here." Just as he was so excited that he couldn't control himself, a shout suddenly came from his ears, followed by the carriage's carriage. After being pulled away from the outside, a fierce old man jumped up and pinched his ears, "You heartless little bastard, you are messing around again. I asked you to study but you skipped school, and you were asked to work and you were so tired. , I finally found you a free job, but you are so good that you ran away from your job again in less than half a year. Little bastard, you wait, wait until you get home, and see how I expose you. "This book was originally published from 17K Novel Network, read genuine content for the first time!
