Chapter 1216: Jixian Order

In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright and misty.

It didn't rain, but the mountain was humid in summer, especially after a night, when the sun just rose, the thick water vapor almost condensed into water droplets. At this time, if people stayed outside, they would be wet in a short time.

However, as a real mountain dweller, Li Shan had been accustomed to such a climate for decades.

At this moment, they were walking on a newly opened trail. In the front were two tall soldiers holding long swords to lead the way. Although the armor on their bodies was only leather armor, it was powerful enough for the mountain dwellers.

The two young mountain dwellers who were only behind the two soldiers looked at the somewhat torn and old armor with envy. For the young mountain dwellers, this was very impressive.

It was a pity that they were just new recruits and did not have the qualifications to wear armor. They had to become veterans before they could get it.

However, if they can make achievements, they can skip the time-consuming process and only need to go through the training period to get armor.

As for now, let alone armor, even their weapons are made of wood.

Of course, they know that the time for them to get armor and weapons will not be too far away.

Because they have made achievements!

At this time, according to common sense, they should be training in the army, but just five days ago, the army issued a gathering of virtuous people.

The general meaning is that the Yingtian Army is now in a state of disrepair and lacks all kinds of craftsmen and literate people. If you have the ability, you can receive two military salaries.

The military salary of the Yingtian Army has undergone a reform, from specific materials and money to merits. Merits can be exchanged for anything, even directly promoted to a higher position.

Two young mountain people, one named Li Xian and the other named Li Neng, look very educated, but in fact they are illiterate. When they were born, their family spent a chicken and asked an old gentleman who had read a few books in the village to give them these two names.

They were illiterate, and apart from farming and making traps to hunt small wild animals, they had no other abilities, so they naturally did not meet the requirements of the Jixian Order.

However, there was a recommendation mechanism in the Jixian Order of the Yingtian Army, so if they recommended someone who met the requirements, they could also get merit.

The two brothers of the Li family thought about it, thinking that there were a few people in their family who could write carpenters and bricklayers, and thinking that the Yingtian Army gave a lot, they were somewhat confident that they could persuade these people, so they asked for leave from the superiors and explained the situation.

The Yingtian Army now gives these mountain people a five-day holiday every month. This holiday can be accumulated and paid in advance, but the mountain road is difficult and far away, and it often takes three to five days to go back and forth. If not, this holiday will not be effective.

The mountain people only thought that the Yingtian general was sympathetic, but they didn't know that the holiday was granted for the soldiers, and the general's situation was told to the people in the village to dispel the last concerns in everyone's hearts.

Although there were all kinds of ghost stories before, they were all somewhat illusory and lacked substance. With the previous preparations and the stories told by the mountain people who went home during the holidays, people immediately felt confident that this was a kingly army!

In this era, ordinary people's impression of soldiers was roughly equivalent to bandits.

In the mountains, because they did not obey the king's rule, such emotions were indeed weaker, but under word of mouth, concerns and vigilance were naturally not less.

People's hearts are very subtle. Many times, they are preconceived. Although only a part of the young and strong people in the village joined the army, a village had more or less some in-laws. Just after a leave, everyone knew what the situation of the Yingtian Army belonging to Huang Tian was.

Now, a consensus has been reached in the village. It turned out that outside the mountain, Huang Tian’s army failed to enter the Southern Wilderness, and the army was defeated. In such a critical moment, General Yingtian received Huang Tian’s order, and Huang Tian appeared in a dream. In a short time, he gathered the scattered comrades in arms in the vast mountains.

At this point, the support of Huang Tian’s army was on the way.

Next, the two armies will join forces, follow the will of heaven, and enter the Southern Wilderness!

This story itself is undoubtedly full of legends, and the previous tricks have added a bit of persuasiveness to this matter.

Now, according to the time, the mountain people have joined the Yingtian Army for more than a month. Before, after about 20 days of continuous training, the army granted a leave to let the mountain people go home, and let some mountain people take their salaries back.

Of course, most of the mountain people chose to keep their achievements instead of exchanging them directly.

Only a very small number of people who really lacked food at home did this.

It was exactly one month when the mountain people returned to the barracks. As for the Jixian Order, it was issued on the fifth day after the mountain people returned to the barracks.

The Li brothers thought about it for two days in the army before they chose to take leave. At the same time, without spending too much effort, they invited Li Shan from their own family, and Li Shan’s son, Li Mu. In addition, there was Li Shi from the same clan who could do masonry work, and his son, Li Li.

In this era, even if it was just some superficial skills, they were passed down from generation to generation. It was difficult for outsiders to learn them.

And just relying on a little craftsmanship, the two families lived a good life in the village.

As for the easy persuasion, the Li brothers were very young. They thought that they were family members after all, and this was a great thing. This time, they also showed their faces in the village. After all, there were more than a hundred villages in Lianshan, and there were many people with skills. But if their brothers had not joined the Yingtian Army, how could such a good thing be their turn? !

They didn't know that Li Shan was still a little upset when he followed the team at this moment. If there were no family members in the army, and there were many young and strong people in the village, plus the ghosts and gods before, even if the Yingtian Army gave more, he would not be able to come out.

As a man of age, he knew that it was not easy for ordinary people to survive in this world. A little storm and a little accident were enough to swallow up a family.

But he also knew that there was no hope in the mountains. Too many villages have disappeared in recent years.

When he was young, by chance, he actually went out once. He also learned a little carpentry skill at that time, but he did not stand firm outside and had to come back.

Therefore, when Li Xian and his brother found him, he thought about it for a long time. Considering the reputation of the Yingtian Army in the village, he chose to take his son and take a gamble.

As a carpenter, he does not need to rush to the front line to join the army, and his safety can be guaranteed.

Even if he is defeated in the future, craftsmen are rarely killed.

Of course, this is just an idea. If he finds that the Huangtian Army is not as good as the rumors in the village, he will naturally give up.

Few mountain people can read and write, but it does not mean that they are not smart. Younger ones may be confused by appearances and easily fooled, but when they are older, they are very smart unless they encounter something they don’t understand.
