Chapter 535 - 535: Translate, Translate, What is a Surprise?_2

Translator: 549690339

In the past countless years, the imperial court and the Zhenbei army would recruit soldiers outside the pass. If they could not recruit soldiers, they would even be forced to recruit.

Most of the time, the people complained about this. After all, the military conscripted young men from their families every year. They were considered strong laborers and often took care of the entire family.

Not only was his life in danger, but he would also not get much reward.

Therefore, if it wasn’t for the disastrous year where they couldn’t even eat their fill, the people would be extremely reluctant to recruit soldiers.But now, when he heard that the Starmoon Army was recruiting soldiers.

However, the people of the entire northwest region were all flocking to it.

As soon as the news was released, the young and middle-aged laborers lining up at the entrance of the Star Moon Army even surrounded the entire Star Moon Army headquarters in North Ice River Town.

In order to get a spot for the physical examination, there were even people who fought.

Looking at the lively scene outside the military camp, even though Ding Yi, Tian Liang, and the others were experienced and knowledgeable, they were all somewhat speechless.

Under normal circumstances, it was not easy to recruit soldiers.

Sometimes, they even had to go from house to house.

It was rare to see such a situation where the citizens would line up to send their family’s pillar of support to join the army.

And the reason for this.

Tian Liang, Ding Yi, and the others also made a simple conclusion.

The Starmoon Troops were so popular in the northwest because their policies were too friendly to the people.

The slogan of conscription was not to protect the country, but to protect the people.

The rolling Yangtze River mows eastward, ana the waves wash away all the heroes.

After less than a week, the Star Moon Army was filled to the brim, and the people who were still not satisfied even suggested that the Star Moon Army continue to expand. After all, only with more soldiers would the Star Moon

Army be able to ensure that they would not be bullied by Great Zhou or Great Qin.

Therefore, they were eager for the Starmoon Army to recruit more people.

The Star Moon Army’s higher-ups didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

However, Li Yueming did not plan to expand the Starmoon Troop in a short period of time. After all, some things could be done quickly, but some things could not be done quickly.

The army was like this. If too many soldiers were recruited at once, it might cause the combat strength of the entire Starmoon Troop to drop drastically. Moreover, it might not be able to recover for several years.

The reason why the Star Moon Army had been able to grow in the gap between Great Zhou and Great Qin was not because of their large numbers, but because they were well-trained and fearless.

Li Yueming had spent a lot of effort to cultivate this spirit.

They could not let the number of recruits disperse their hard-won determination.

Therefore, in the first year of recruitment, no matter how others looked at it, Li Yueming only recruited less than 50,000 soldiers according to the original plan.

In fact, by this time, the entire northwest region had basically recovered its vitality. It had already recovered from the flames of war and began to become more and more prosperous.

For the people who had lived in the bitter cold of the northwest for generations, this could be considered a fairy-like life. They were already very satisfied with everything in front of them.

However, he did not expect that this was only the beginning of Li Yueming’s reform. The real highlight was still to come.

After the recruitment was completed.

The Starmoon Troop began to build schools in the North Ice River, North City, and West City. They started to teach from the beginner class to the world governing class. They also began to tell the people in the northwest about the significance of building schools and the benefits of reading and writing.

If Li Yueming had carried out such a reform a few years ago, it was estimated that there would be no sound in the entire northwest..
