Chapter 1089: Recruiting Soldiers
When the people heard that reinforcements were coming, they calmed down.
"However," Zheng Shicheng changed the subject, "our Hubei Northern Army has suffered heavy casualties in order to protect everyone's homeland. We are recruiting new soldiers starting today. If you still want to join the army, you can come to the government office to sign up."
He paused and continued, "But we are not recruiting female soldiers for the time being. We ask all the villagers who are as brave as men to register at the government office first. If we recruit female soldiers in the future, we will notify you."
I have to say that Zheng Shicheng is indeed a talented person. Although there are not many women in the crowd, he also took into account the face of women. He did not ask them to go back directly, but politely asked them to register first.
Under the influence of Shen Qingqian, Zheng Shicheng himself had no discrimination against women serving as officials and doctors. He even changed his mind about not wanting his only daughter Zheng Ruoxi to show up in public. Now Zheng Ruoxi is in the army, helping to handle some daily affairs.
When everyone heard Zheng Shicheng's words, they became excited again and turned around, wanting to be the first to sign up.
Zheng Shicheng looked at the scene and smiled with relief.
Think about how difficult it was for them to recruit soldiers in the past. I didn't expect that as long as they sincerely cared about the people and made sure they had enough food and clothing, they would be willing to dedicate themselves to this peace and tranquility. This may be what the sixth girl said, "heart for heart".
In fact, this was also Zheng Shicheng's wish. However, at that time, his power was limited and materials were not abundant, so many of his ideas could not be realized.
Today, Zheng Shicheng is very grateful to Shengze for bringing him to northern Hubei. That was the best decision he has ever made in his life.
Chenzhou Western Suburbs Residence
Princess Zhao watched the letter in her hand burn bit by bit and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon she became excited again.
She was finally going to escape from this place!
No one wants to be imprisoned, let alone her, the Princess of Zhao, who once sat in such a high position but is now under strict surveillance. She is very unwilling to do so, both in terms of psychological gap and quality of life.
Oh no, how could her current life be called a quality of life? She only had the simplest meals every day, and they even often gave her potatoes and sweet potatoes from the supposedly high-yield area of northern Hubei. How could she, a princess, eat what the lowly people ate?
After calming herself down, Princess Zhao frowned again. She wondered if Zhao Ling had received her letter. Qin Zhilu was going to send someone to pick them up tonight.
Princess Zhao was anxious and expectant, but she had no idea that all her actions were under the control of the Qin army.
Although they didn't know what kind of trouble she would cause, they still deployed three times more troops near the house, and all of them were good fighters borrowed from the Shadow Guard Division.
The Qin army was a little panicked because he was not sure when Princess Zhao would take action, and the front line was short of manpower at that time. He was very conflicted and didn't know whether he should send some people back.
The Qin army soon found out the answer.
That night, just after the hour of Chou, the house where Princess Zhao lived suddenly caught fire.
"Help! Help!" followed by Princess Zhao's shrill cry for help.
Zhao Ling heard the noise and banged on the door desperately, "Let me out! I want to save my mother!"
He was also very nervous and excited at this time because he had received a letter from Princess Zhao, but he had remained silent until this moment because he was afraid that what his mother said was false.
The gatekeepers looked at each other. Qin Jun had already given the order, so they followed their lead.
One of them picked up the key and brought Zhao Ling out.
"Don't try any tricks, we brothers are watching you!"
"Thank you all, I just want to save my mother." Zhao Ling looked anxious and stumbled towards where Princess Zhao lived.
