After hearing the words of the crowd, the beggar could not help but hesitate. Looking at the few military officers in front of him who were not angry but were imposing, there was a voice in his heart that told him to leave quickly to avoid physical pain... However, if he did not become a soldier, his large group of people would probably starve to death by the Jialing River and become one of the floating corpses in the river. In order to survive for himself and for the large group of people to survive, after stopping for about half a minute, he gritted his teeth and walked to the front of the conscription office.
At this time, both the onlookers and the applicants had run away. The beggar also enjoyed the treatment of going straight to the conscription booth without being eliminated. He shrunk his neck and asked in a low voice,"Sir, are you recruiting soldiers?”
"Yes, sit down and talk!" Zhou Zhong nodded.”
"No, no…I'm dirty. Don't dirty the officer's stool…" The beggar quickly said.
"It's okay. Sit down and talk slowly. It takes a lot of time to fill in the form!”
" I'm fine standing. I'm not afraid of standing. I'm used to it…"
" Then do as you please…" Zhou Zhong took out two forms and said,""Can you read?"
"Sir, my family was alright when I was young. My father let me have a private meeting for a few years!"”
Hearing this, Zhou Zhong, Yin Yong, and the rest were a little surprised. They had recruited several hundred new recruits today, but the literacy rate was less than ten percent. They did not expect this beggar to be literate!
"Where's the household registration certificate?" Zhou Zhong nodded.”
When the beggar heard this, he immediately became dispirited and said,"Sir, when I was young, I was persecuted and my entire family was robbed. I was the only one who fled to Nage Qing to beg for a living.”
"Then find someone to vouch for you!”
"Sir, I am a beggar. Who would dare to vouch for me? Please have mercy on me, sir. I've been reading the teachings of Confucius and Mencius since I was young. Although I'm down and out, I've never forgotten the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith taught by my former teacher. As long as you take me in, I'll definitely arrive at the assembly place within the specified time. If you don't trust me, you can give me the settling fee when I arrive at Qijiang or not. Anyway, there's no one left in my family. I only ask you to take me in and let me have a mouthful of food. Sir, I kowtow to you. As long as you agree, I will work for you for the rest of my life!”
Zhou Zhong stopped the beggar who was about to kneel and turned to look at Yin Yong.
The beggar immediately knew that Yin Yong was the one who would decide whether he could stay or not. He hurriedly rushed to Yin Yong's side and was about to kneel down when Yin Yong held him up in advance and said,"Since you're educated, you should know that men have gold on their knees. They can kneel to the heavens, their ancestors, but there's no reason for them to kneel to anyone else…This is forbidden in the 1st Independent Brigade. If you dare to kneel to anyone else, you'll be punished by military law…"
Hearing this, the beggar knew that Yin Yong had accepted him and hurriedly said,""Thank you, sir, for taking me in. Thank you, sir, for taking me in. From now on, I will go through fire and water for you, sir, and die for you…"
" No, you don't have to do it for me. You should do it for all the Chinese. The army doesn't belong to one person. It belongs to our country. I was ordered by my superior to form the independent 1st Brigade. My purpose was not to be a warlord, but to let all my compatriots live and work in peace and contentment…I don't know what happened to your family, but I believe you must be very angry, very sad, and very disappointed…This kind of thing doesn't only happen to you. Many Chinese people may be experiencing things that are more painful than you. When you put on your military uniform and pick up your weapon, you should not do anything for a certain person. Instead, you should not let our future generations experience your pain again. You should let everyone have something to learn, something to work for, something to treat the sick, something to live in, and a place to live in peace!”
The Pauper revealed a thoughtful expression and said,""Yes, I will remember your advice!”
"Alright, go and register!"
"Yes, sir!"
Zhou Zhong picked up a letter of enlistment and asked,""Name?"
"Yu Shouzheng, his voice reverberates around the beam, he is upright and righteous.”
"Age?"
"Twenty."
"Education level?"
"Sir, when I was young, I was studying for personal familiarity. After the huge changes in my family, I have been begging until now. I have never gone to a new school, and I don't know what my educational level is!”
"How many years have you been in private school?"
"Seven years!"
Zhou Zhong filled in 'seven years of private school' for his education level and said,""Native place?"
"Qijiang County's Ganshui Town!"
When Yin Yong heard the three words Qijiang County, he couldn't help but be happy. He was about to go to Qijiang to take office and felt that he knew nothing about the situation in Qijiang. He didn't expect someone to send him a pillow when he fell asleep. He quickly said,"Yu Shouzheng, are you from Qijiang?"
Yu Shoushou stood up straight and said,"Sir, I'm from Qijiang!"”
"Alright, the place where I'm going to be stationed in is Qijiang. I'm looking for someone to understand the situation in Qijiang.”
"Yes, sir…but I've been away from Qijiang for many years. Because I'm afraid of being persecuted by my enemies, I've never returned to my hometown. I'm not clear about the current situation in Qijiang County.”
"It's alright."
Not long after, after Yu Shouzheng signed and pressed his fingerprint, Wu Tao counted ten dollars for him. Yu Shouzheng shook his head and said,"Sir, it's better to wait until we reach Qijiang before giving me the settlement allowance!”
"Take it. Since I've filled in the enlistment notice, I'm now a member of the 1st Brigade. If I can't even trust my own brothers, how can we go to the battlefield together? Besides, even though 10 dollars is not a small amount, it will be spent one day. However, if you join our independent 1st regiment, you will be able to live comfortably for the rest of your life. I don't think you are so short-sighted.”Yin Yong said.
"Yes, thank you, sir!" Yu Shouzheng took the ten yuan with his black hands and said,""Sir, I still have some friends who are beggars like me. They also want to join Sir's team and seek a way out. However, they are timid and dare not come forward to register.”
"Alright, go and call them over! As long as you meet my recruitment requirements, I'll accept them all!”
"Yes, sir. I'll go right away!”Yu Shouzheng couldn't help but be overjoyed. He imitated the soldiers and saluted before turning around and running away.
When Yu Shouzheng took the ocean and left, the onlookers finally woke up from their shock. They never expected that the officer in front of them would be so easy to talk to. He was even willing to take in beggars that everyone avoided. The recruits who had signed up but had not left felt that their new officer was a benevolent person. It was definitely a wise choice to follow him...
Not long after, Yu Shouzheng brought over twenty to thirty beggars. One person was already enough, but twenty to thirty people came at once. The sour smell was so strong that it could make people faint. Therefore, the people who seemed to be watching the fun did not even look. They covered their noses and ran. Some people ran and retched, while others kept saying "Pei, pei". It was as if the sour smell was not smelled, but eaten…
After nearly half an hour, a total of 35 beggars had all reported their names. Including Yu Shouzheng, there were exactly 36 of them. These 36 beggars had always been loyal to Yin Yong. Coupled with their outstanding military achievements, they later became high-ranking officers in Yin Yong's army, navy, and air force. The important thing was that all of them had experienced hundreds of battles, but none of them died on the battlefield. The ignorant people thought that the 36 of them were the 36 heavenly stars that had descended to assist Yin Yong. Naturally, Yin Yong was regarded as the " True Dragon and Son of Heaven " by these people, although many people expressed disdain for such a statement…
After the new recruits were brought to the ocean, Yin Yong took them to a clothing store and bought a set of clothes for each of them. They found a bathhouse to bathe and change their clothes. Then, they went to a hairdresser and had a meal with them in a small restaurant. Finally, Zi Shao found a hotel for them to stay in. Yin Yong paid for their room and food for ten days. Later, someone asked them why they were so loyal to Yin Yong. Without exception, they would talk about what had happened that day. They would say that they would never forget this day. On this day, they truly felt the feeling of being respected. They felt from the depths of their hearts that Yin Yong treated each and every one of them as his life and death brothers…
The name of the Thirty-six Heavenly Stars was added here: Yu Shouzheng, Yu Zhi, He Jie, He Rong, Shi Xu, Bijie, Meng Ke, Wei Dashan, Zhao Zheng, Zhao Tong, Yang Shilong, Yang Ming, Qu Fei, Fang Hai, Le Qingyun, Zhan Hua, Liu Lin, Liu Jian, Chen He, Chen Xiang, Xu Run, Dong Qiang, Chang Ping, Mao Mingyi, Sima Xu, Qiao Huan, Gao Bo, Deng Hao, Chi Bin, Su Chen, Li Siyuan, Yin Shouren, Yin Shouyi, Yin Shouli, Yin Shouzhi, and Yin Shouxin (the last five didn't have names.) It was later that they changed their names after they learned culture in the military's cleaning class. It was not difficult to see their gratitude to Yin Yong from their names. Although Yin Yong objected to their naming, it was their fault that they did not have a name and did not even know their surname.
