Chapter 820 Contradiction

As soon as the news came out, the people of Ezhou were in an uproar.

"How could the general make such a decision? Can those foreigners use it?"

"Yes, they are prisoners! Can they sincerely fight for us?"

"What happens if they rebel midway?"

The people were talking a lot, but the new arrivals in Ezhou were confused.

"What kind of prisoner? Why don't we know about this?"

"Of course you don't know, I'm telling you..."

After the people finished talking about the prisoners, the newcomers were shocked.

"Captured hundreds of thousands of people? How is this possible?"

"Don't you understand this?" The people of Ezhou held their heads high proudly, and with a flick of their heads, they told all the rumors that had been spread to the point of myth.

Nowadays, the story of the Northern Hubei Army's battle with hundreds of thousands of foreigners that day has long been rumored to be inaccurate. Gunpowder weapons clearly had the advantage, but now it is said that it was a spell cast by the gods of Xuanji Mountain.

The newcomers were dumbfounded.

"Your Ezhou is blessed by the gods of Xuanji Mountain?"

"It's 'our Ezhou'. Why haven't you gotten used to it? Don't talk about you anymore. Our Ezhou must be a blessed place blessed by gods! Think about it, how did you come here? Look at our place again , I’ve never been short of water!”

"That's right. We in Chenzhou are pretty good. I heard that places in Linzhou and Yunzhou are so miserable. There are people who drink human blood!"

"Isn't it too inhumane to drink human blood? Fortunately, we are from Ezhou, otherwise..."

The topic gradually went off track, but the doubts in everyone's minds were still not resolved.

Not only the people of Ezhou were deceived by this news, but the prisoners were also deceived.

Ryan and Lyle had just come out of the arsenal. After hearing the news, Ryan's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Go! I have to apply!"

Lyle immediately poured cold water on him, "Dear brother, aren't you worried that this is false news they deliberately released?"

"How is it possible? My dear brother, I believe in my eyes. Haven't you noticed these days? The girls and boys in Dajin are all too enthusiastic, especially my beloved girl, she..."

Before Ryan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lyle, "My dear brother, let me remind you that Miss Six is ​​the lover of the young general. Are you sure you want to be his enemy?"

The young general he mentioned was Shengze.

When Ryan heard this, he immediately became scared and said with evasive eyes: "I'm just talking about it, but I must go to this recruitment!"

"Aren't you afraid that they will make us cannon fodder?" Lyle was speechless to his brother. How could he have such a simple-minded brother?

Ryan patted his chest confidently and said, "Mr. Qin still relies on us to make steam engines. I believe they won't let us be cannon fodder!"

Hearing this, Lyle suddenly stopped worrying and walked quickly to the cafeteria.

They are now Mr. Qin's right-hand assistants. Ryan's desire to join the army is simply a dream!

Lyle was right. The scope of this recruitment did not include the technical talents selected previously.

Due to the controversy among the people of Ezhou over the scope of conscription, some prisoners who have integrated into the life of Ezhou have also been questioned.

Zheng Shicheng's side had been very anxious these past two days. After finally calming down everyone's emotions, he hurriedly came to find Shengze and Liang Cheng.

"Your Highness, General, why don't you think about this matter again?"
