Jiang Xianyun raised his eyes and glanced over there.
There are many people at the entrance of the village now, some from my own village and some from other villages. It seems that the new soldiers from several nearby villages have gathered here. The old people, children and women are standing far away, and some of them have red eyes, obviously crying.
There was a simple table in sight. Someone was sitting there checking the names and registering. On the other side, soldiers were distributing military pay. After registration, each person received five taels of silver. If they survived, they could receive four taels of military pay every month. This was the treatment of ordinary soldiers. If they died, the government would also give their families a ten-tael pension. Their Xuanwu country treated soldiers well. After they died in battle, their families could receive some money.
Sitting at the table was a bearded old soldier who was literate.
Jiang Xianyun took a look and saw that he was still a young general.
"Next……"
Seeing that it was his turn, the young man who was already in line handed over his household registration card.
"Liu Si is from Wangjia Village, Jingjiang County."
The young officer who was in charge of registration read out the names and checked the registration. Then he said, "Get your pay next to you and wait on the side."
"Yes, Sir."
"Next……"
People checked the registration quickly one by one.
Finally it was Jiang Xianyun's cousin's turn.
The person registering looked up at him, then took the household registration card from him to verify the registration.
"Jiang Dali is from Xihe Village, Jingjiang County."
"Go over there to collect your military pay, and wait over there."
"Okay, sir."
This is ancient conscription.
Jiang Xianyun simply carried a bag in her hand and found a corner to wait quietly. She did not rush forward. She did not go forward to queue until there were only a few people in the queue who had registered.
The number of people in front of her dropped from a few to two, and then the person in front of her also left, and finally it was her turn.
She is the last one of the day.
She reached out and handed over her household registration card.
When they saw Jiang Xianyun, the soldiers all looked at her. Even the man who was registering stopped and subconsciously put his hands on the table.
He looked at Jiang Xianyun.
"woman?"
"Are you here to join the army?"
Jiang Xianyun was dressed in black, with her long hair casually tied up with a silver hairpin. She looked neat and tidy. She was outstanding in appearance, fair-skinned, beautiful, and heroic, standing there very conspicuous.
Maybe he hadn't seen any beautiful women for many years, and when he saw one, the old soldiers next to him looked straight at her.
"Girl, the battlefield is not fun. Go home. You should find a husband at your age."
They had noticed her before, but they didn't expect that she was here to join the army.
Jiang Xianyun gave him a murderous look.
The other party subconsciously shut up.
All I can say is that the original owner's face was quite serious and could be very lethal when he wasn't smiling.
The registered general had a good temper.
"My lady, women are not within our conscription range and do not need to join the army."
Jiang Xianyun glanced at him and nodded slightly.
She said with a serious face and thin lips: "I know, I came here by myself."
"Women from Xuanwu Country can join the army."
She paused slightly.
Then he continued, "My father is a hunter in this village, and I am his daughter. I have learned hunting skills from my father since I was young, and now my martial arts are also pretty good. Now the country is in need of manpower, and even though I am a woman, I also want to do my part and go to the battlefield to resist foreign enemies."
Not far away, a man wearing armor and with a sword hanging on his waist walked over.
"well said."
"We have women enlisting in our military camp now, such as our general's two daughters. But if you want to join the army, you must prove that you can go to the battlefield first, otherwise we can't accept you, because if you go, you will just be sending yourself to die."
So straightforward.
The person who came was the Left Lieutenant General Gu Zhou, who was the person in charge of this conscription.
His first reaction when he saw Jiang Xianyun was, wow, what a beautiful woman. Her height was not much different from those of his soldiers, and she was actually a girl. The general's two daughters were much shorter than her.
The Left Lieutenant General came over.
He looked at Jiang Xianyun and asked.
"Do you know martial arts?"
"Ah."
She raised her eyes slightly and nodded in response.
He nodded. "Can you shoot arrows?"
Jiang Xianyun nodded.
"meeting."
"Give her a bow and arrow to try."
"Yes, Lieutenant General Zuo."
Soon a soldier in leather armor came over with a bow and arrow.
"Big sister, I'll give it to you..."
"it is good."
She reached out to take the bow and took an arrow from the other man's quiver.
"I'll prepare a target for you."
Hear the soldier talking.
Jiang Xianyun said calmly.
"Need not."
She said looking up towards the sky.
At this time, there were several wild geese flying by.
The wind is blowing
She raised her hand and tested the wind direction.
The expression on his face suddenly became serious.
She had three arrows nocked in her hand.
"What is she doing using three arrows?"
"No way, no way, she wants to shoot the wild geese?"
"How can it be."
There was a voice in my ear.
The next moment Jiang Xianyun had already drawn the bow, raised his hand to aim, pulled the bowstring directly, and let go instantly.
Three arrows were fired at the same time, and the feathered arrows shot into the air.
At the same time, the bow in her hand made a cracking sound, then broke.
It was at this moment that three arrows accurately hit three wild geese, which fell from the sky and someone ran over to pick them up.
There is a moment of silence now.
Countless pairs of eyes filled with envy, shock, and disbelief, all kinds of complicated looks fell on Jiang Xianyun.
"I'm sorry, the bow is broken."
Jiang Xianyun stretched out his hand and handed over the bow.
After she finished speaking, everyone came back to their senses.
"Amazing."
"She really is a woman. This is too strong."
"Three arrows were fired at once, all of them hit the target, and the target was a wild goose in the sky. Wow, awesome!"
"That's the girl from the hunter family in our village. She learned hunting skills since she was young. Some time ago, she shot a wild buffalo and brought it back from the mountain herself."
"real or fake."
"Of course it's true. We saw it with our own eyes..."
At this moment, Admiral Gu was so happy that he slapped her on the shoulder. But when he thought about her being a girl, he felt it was inappropriate and laughed dryly.
"Sorry, I'm used to it. You're amazing, little sister. I didn't expect there are so many hidden talents in this village. This one move of yours really shocked me."
At this point, he asked again, "Do you really want to join the army?"
Jiang Xianyun nodded lightly.
"Ah."
Admiral Gu smiled happily.
"Haha, good job."
"Write down her name for me. She will be my soldier from now on."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Jiang Xianyun, this is my household registration card."
As she spoke, she handed over her household registration card.
