If we hadn't seen everyone holding weapons, the gate guards almost thought it was the chaotic army coming to revolt. There were at least five or six hundred people.
The guard knew the situation as soon as he saw the battle. Even if he knew that the other party had no weapons to attack people, he didn't dare to let so many people into the city.
So the guard captain immediately sent a small soldier to inform general Zhou.
Zhou Yong did not delay and reported the matter to Yan Ze, and the couple had just finished breakfast.
Qin Yiling looked at the time. At eight o'clock in the morning, many shops in the county haven't opened yet. It's really strange that so many people came at this time.
"Go and have a look."
When the couple came to the gate of the city, they saw a dark group of people. However, it was amazing that so many people stood quietly outside the door, very honest.
I don't know who shouted, "Yan Tongling and his wife are coming." the dark crowd suddenly became restless, but everyone didn't make a noise, but they looked very excited and whispered.
The couple looked at each other and tacitly turned to the crowd.
Obviously, these people are not here to make trouble. As for the purpose? The couple had a vague guess.
Just then, a man in shabby coarse cloth came out. He was in his thirties. He looked very calm and credible. As soon as he raised his hand, the crowd returned to a silent state again.
"Yan Tongling, Mrs. Yan, my name is Li San. I'm from Lijiagou. These people behind me are all villagers in my village. Our village is located in a remote place, close to the mountain and a little far from the county.
So we have come all day. We have only one purpose. We want to take refuge in the national government and join the national army. We also hope that the commander and his wife can accept us. "
As soon as Li San finished his words, the crowd behind him began to respond one after another.
"Commander, we are not afraid of hard work or death!"
"Yes, we will follow you to fight bandits and bandits, so that we poor people can live a good life."
"We also want to contribute to peace and prosperity."
"Even if you die."
......
A clear color flashed in the eyes of the Zeling couple, and their guess was really right.
These people really came to take refuge in their national government. It seems that what they are doing is not in vain. The reputation of their national government has gradually spread out.
Both of them have read the map and roster of the county. Lijiagou is not a village under the jurisdiction of Yong'an county at all, but a village under the jurisdiction of the neighboring county, Yongping County.
Seeing this, they are still a little surprised. They haven't gone to Yongping County yet. Unexpectedly, so many villagers have heard about them and even traveled a long way to join their team.
At least, Zeling and his wife were very moved because their efforts were responded to.
Yan Ze stepped forward and said loudly, "thank you for your trust in the national government. On behalf of the national government, I welcome you to join."
Hearing the speech, the crowd suddenly boiled up. After the uneasy along the way got the definite answer at this moment, everyone's heart can finally be at ease.
Their village is too poor. Although it is close to the mountain, the products in the mountain are relatively rich, but also because it is close to the mountain, the farmland in the village is basically some sandy gravel land, which is not suitable for planting food at all.
Therefore, even if they are close to the mountain, they can only ensure that they will not starve to death, but they are often hungry all year round. There is no way. There are not many people who can go deep into the mountain to hunt. The whole village depends on the food on the edge of the mountain, which is not enough for the whole village to eat.
In addition, it's a long way from the mountains to the villages and towns, and it's inconvenient for everyone to buy anything. In this cycle, people living in the mountains are living in more and more poverty.
Now, after listening to the people who came back from the outside say something about what happened outside, everyone feels that there must be a way out, otherwise they will be trapped in the mountains for generations.
And the person who leads us is Li San!
Because he is the one who is specially responsible for helping everyone run errands and shopping between the mountains and towns. Everyone will give him some hard money. This can be regarded as the best of both worlds and mutual benefit.
After returning to the village, Li San began to tell everyone about what had happened in the villages and towns outside during this period. The focus was to tell them about the national government and what the national army had done.
Li San is the most knowledgeable person in his village. He told everyone his own ideas and made suggestions.
Li San said that the national government is trustworthy and worth fighting. Perhaps there will be a good way out with the national government. At least in the future, children and grandchildren will not stay in this mountain.
Just because Li Sanyi said firmly on his face that the commander and wife of the national government were people who really did practical things for the poor people, they mobilized with the support of the ethnic people.
Next to them, there are three villages near Lijiagou. After hearing their decision, they also went back to the village to mobilize.
So all the teenagers in the three villages went out and followed Li San on the road to join the army.
Originally, Zeling and his wife thought that even if the matter came to an end, they were going to return to Mingshan village the next day. They didn't know that they had failed the next day.
Because early in the morning, a large number of people poured into the city gate of Yong'an county.
These people are teenagers in several villages under the jurisdiction of Yong'an county. It is estimated that they have also heard about Li San. The village has also encouraged everyone to sign up for the army.
After all, as long as they join the national army, they represent the position and attitude of the whole village, which means that they are sheltered by the national government and are citizens of the national government.
What's more, Yong'an county has belonged to the national government. Can they do the opposite in these small villages?
Besides, there was a plague in Yong'an County, which more or less affected the surrounding villages. After all, many people have been to the county, and some of the people who escaped before the warning hid back in their hometown villages.
Fortunately, the national government did not ignore them, but also sent small soldiers to send them therapeutic drugs, handed in a lot of knowledge of plague prevention and control, and even special nursing staff to check them.
Therefore, the villagers thanked Mrs. Yan from the bottom of their hearts and were very willing to join the national army and want to serve the national government.
The most important thing is that the vision of the national government has long been spread. I'm afraid it's everyone's wish to have a "peaceful and prosperous era".
In order to make the world peaceful as soon as possible, they also want to do something about it. They just want this day to come early.
