Xianyang City, west of the city.
In a restaurant, in the lobby where storyteller Chen Fusheng is.
Chen Fu spent his daily life here specifically telling stories, telling anecdotes about ancient times and the heroic deeds of the Qin State. People came to listen to him, including traffickers, henchmen, and dignitaries. And in Xianyang City, Chen Fusheng is the most famous storyteller.
I don’t know where Chen Fusheng got the news from, but he talks about it every day, and it’s almost never the same.
Today, Chen Fusheng is sitting in the lobby.
The hall below is still full of guests and friends.
The people who came to listen to the book include merchants, common people, and even the children of nobles. After all, Xianyang City is the capital of the Qin Dynasty, and there are many high-ranking officials and nobles in Xianyang.
The nobles' children who had nothing to do came to listen to books and pass the time.
Chen Fusheng was sitting upright today. He slapped the gavel on the desk with a snap in his hand. In an instant, everyone in the lobby fell silent.
This is the rule.
Chen Fusheng wants to write a book.
Chen Fusheng's eyes were soft, and he scanned the people present. He opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, today's story-telling has to be postponed a little bit. Because the little old man has got some news, I will talk about a little digression first."
"Mr. Chen, who wants to hear your off-topic remarks? Don't waste time, hurry up and tell the story."
Among the crowd, a noble man spoke.
As soon as these words came out, many people spoke in agreement. Everyone is here to listen to books. Who wants to listen to your off-topic remarks? How boring is that?
"Everyone, everyone, please listen to the little old man."
Chen Fusheng raised his voice again.
As a good storyteller, Chen Fusheng has an excellent voice, with a rich and resonant voice. As soon as he spoke, the sound of gold and iron instantly silenced everyone's voices, and no one spoke anymore.
Chen Fusheng smiled and said: "If the little old man's digression cannot satisfy everyone and cannot make everyone agree, the little old man will pay for your tea today. So, please listen to me."
Those who listen to the book all know Chen Fusheng.
Everyone knew what Chen Fusheng was like. When they heard Chen Fusheng's words, many people chuckled. Who cares about your tea money.
However, no one spoke anymore, something must have happened. Otherwise, Chen Fusheng would not have done this.
Chen Fusheng nodded slightly and continued: "I want to ask you all, what kind of person is our Holy Ancestor Emperor of Qin?"
"Of course you are a wise king, a great wise king."
In the crowd, someone immediately spoke.
"The Holy Ancestor Emperor was born in a time of crisis. He turned the tide, made use of talents, and worked hard to govern, which is why we have the territory of Great Qin today. The contribution of the Holy Ancestor Emperor is no less than the founding of the country."
"With the Holy Ancestor Emperor, today's Great Qin is possible."
"Who in the Qin Dynasty will forget the contribution of the Holy Ancestor Emperor? No way."
Everyone who came to listen to the book spoke.
Ying Jiuxiao has a very high prestige among the people, especially for the entire Great Qin Dynasty. There is no doubt about Ying Jiuxiao's meritorious service.
This is the consensus of the court and the people.
Chen Fusheng nodded and continued: "Everyone is right, the achievements of the Holy Ancestor Emperor are no less than the founding of the country. But just after the Holy Ancestor Emperor passed away, Sima Chong, the emperor of the southern Jin Kingdom, betrayed the alliance and brazenly sent troops Approaching the south of our Qin State, we will send troops to attack our Qin State."
"In addition, the barbarian Yan Kingdom in the north has always been afraid of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, and only dared to make sneak attacks and did not dare to attack. Now that the Holy Ancestor has passed away, the Yan Kingdom Emperor Liu Yuan also personally drove south to invade."
"Do you think you can tolerate this?"
Chen Fusheng's voice echoed in the lobby, arousing countless anger.
"Of course I can't bear it."
Someone in the crowd shouted again, saying, "Does it mean that our newly appointed Emperor has to give in?"
A pair of eyes looked at Chen Fusheng.
Many people's eyes turned fierce. The reason was very simple. Qin was a martial state, and the people of Qin had always been tough to the outside world. They never gave in to the weak.
Chen Fusheng shook his head and said: "The little old man has some channels and knows the news. His Majesty the Emperor has issued a decree to fight against the Yan State in the north and the Jin State in the south. He will never admit defeat. Moreover, the imperial court is recruiting troops to fight."
"After I got the news, I asked my two sons to enlist in the army to fight against Yan and Jin."
"I, Da Qin, have been in the country for so many years. When have I ever been afraid?"
"Am I, Great Qin, afraid of the coward Jin?"
"Afraid of a ball."
Although Chen Fusheng was a little older, he became excited now, his words were a little rude, he even rolled up his sleeves, and said forcefully: "If it weren't for the fact that I am already fifty years old and the court does not accept people like me, I would have left long ago. ”
"Damn it, when our Qin State sent troops to destroy the Xia State, that son of a bitch from the Jin State followed our Qin State to take advantage of it. Later, when we defeated Qi State, Jin State followed our Qin State Behind us, we can benefit from a sneak attack on Qi."
"But now, he actually wants to take advantage of others' danger."
"Can this be tolerated?"
Chen Fusheng stood up quickly. He saw everyone standing up to listen to the book. He slapped the gavel again and said loudly: "I am here to tell you that all the sons and daughters of our great Qin will defend the country. We all have the responsibility to defend ourselves against foreign enemies."
"In one sentence, just do it."
"As long as among you, or the rest of the people of Qin, you go to the battlefield, no matter what happens to you when you come back, you can listen to books here, Lao Chen, without paying for tea. You can come to my place to listen to books and drink tea. "
"Here, I have to say to the soldiers fighting on the front line that you are great."
Chen Fusheng's voice echoed in the lobby.
At this moment, the lobby started talking. Many people were talking about it, but there were even more people who were very angry.
"You son of a bitch, a mere soft-footed shrimp from the Jin Kingdom, dare to attack our Qin Kingdom, I will join the army."
"I will go too. Our country, Qin, cannot be humiliated."
"I am coming too."
One by one, young people or middle-aged people who were listening to the book bowed to Chen Fusheng and left the hall to inquire about the military recruitment.
The same thing was spread around Xianyang City. In wine shops, restaurants, and shops, the government also arranged for people to post notices and beat gongs and drums to publicize the fact that Qin was being attacked, so as to facilitate the recruitment of troops.
In Xianyang City, people's hearts are boiling.
Some young people went directly to the recruiting places, and there were also old parents from every household asking their sons to serve as soldiers to defend against the enemy.
In Xianyang City, countless people began to join the army.
As time went by, the news spread rapidly, and even the people in the surrounding counties of Xianyang got the news. Countless people began to gather and headed towards Xianyang City.
Because countless people arrived, all the city gates in the four directions were overcrowded.
People everywhere came to join the army.
Lin Feng got the news and personally checked at the Sifang City Gate. Near evening, Lin Feng came to the recruitment point outside Nancheng, where there were still countless people queuing up. Thousands of people shouted to defeat Northern Yan and Southern Jin, and to let the enemies know how powerful Qin was.
Lin Feng also had a smile on his face.
This is a good thing and the people's support can be used.
Although the Qin State was still lagging behind in terms of building academies and enlightening the people's intelligence, the people were simple and knew better from good than from bad. When everyone learned that Jin and Yan were attacking, countless people were willing to fight and join the war to protect their homeland.
Lin Feng made some calculations in his mind. According to the current situation, it would be impossible to end the conscription in a while. He ordered people to notify Li Zhi and Zhou Jinfa to come. As soon as they arrived at Lin Feng's side, they both saluted Lin Feng.
Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "The imperial court is recruiting troops, and the people are participating enthusiastically. This is a good thing."
"Just looking at the current situation, because there are too many people coming, it will not end for a while. These people are still waiting here, and we cannot let down the enthusiasm of these people. Please make arrangements and coordinate with the Black Dragon Army General Zhao Feixiong, please He arranged for the soldiers to prepare meals and supply them to the recruiting points at the four gates of Xianyang City."
"Everyone who comes here to enlist in the army, regardless of whether they are selected or not, will be provided with food to ensure that everyone has food. The soldiers in charge of recruiting must make sure to arrange this properly when giving rewards."
"Here!"
Li Zhi and Zhou Jinfa both responded.
The two quickly arranged and coordinated to arrange things properly.
That night, the lights outside Xianyang City were brightly lit, and torches dispelled the darkness. It was all about recruiting troops.
This incident lasted for two days.
One hundred thousand people, recruitment completed.
In fact, there are still many people who apply for the job hoping to be selected. It's just that when enough people have been recruited and conscription has ended, all those who come can only return the same way they came. All the people who had completed the conscription were temporarily placed in the Black Dragon Army and handed over to Zhao Feixiong for proper placement and simple team formation.
Lin Feng and Bai Cejun met and went straight into the palace.
Both of them have to lead troops into battle.
Lin Feng went north, while Bai Cejun went south.
When the two of them saw Ying Yuqian, Lin Feng said directly: "Your Majesty, when I go north to attack, if the Ministry of War responds to any matters, I can leave it to Li Zhi, the left minister of the Ministry of War, to act on my behalf for the time being. This time I go north to attack, I will not defeat the Yan army. , we will never withdraw our troops.”
Bai Cejun followed: "The old minister went south to join Meng Chong. They are also the undefeated Jin army. They vow not to withdraw their troops. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Qin army will win."
Whether it's Lin Feng or Bai Cejun, they are both very motivated.
There is no need to be afraid when the enemy comes. As long as we are united and the people's support is available, we can succeed in the battle.
Ying Yugan nodded and said: "I am in Xianyang, waiting for your triumphant return. When you return triumphantly from this battle, I will personally ask for credit for you."
"I obey the decree."
Lin Feng and Bai Cejun answered simultaneously.
The two walked out of the hall, and Bai Cejun suddenly said: "Commander Lin, we are all together in destroying Xia and attacking Qi. Once I was the coach, and once you were the coach. This time, we are one in the south and one in the north, each on one side. How about that? , how about making a bet?"
Lin Feng had a smile on his face and asked, "How does Bai Shuai want to bet?"
Bai Cejun said: "I heard that there are fine wines and delicacies at Commander Lin's house. If my army defeats the Jin army first, how about Commander Lin hosting a banquet at the house to entertain me and let me taste the fine wines and delicacies?"
Lin Feng asked: "What if Bai Shuai loses?"
Bai Cejun shook his sleeves and said directly: "In my house, there is no pure ginseng wine, but there is tiger bone wine and tiger whip wine. This wine is extremely good. I have never given any of it to people outside. .If Lin Shuai wins first, I will invite Lin Shuai to a banquet and drink."
Lin Feng's eyes were bright and he said with a smile: "In that case, I want to win sooner. Bai Shuai, I'm determined to drink your tiger bone wine."
Bai Cejun said: "The same is true for me."
"Hahaha……"
Lin Feng and Bai Shuai smiled at each other and left.
The news also spread to the palace.
When Ying Yuqian heard Wang Shun say that Lin Feng had made a bet with Bai Cejun, a bright smile appeared on Ying Yuqian's slightly solemn face.
He was looking forward to this battle.
Da Qin must win!
