Hanjia Village, Nanchong County, Sichuan.

Han Dagu, director of the township patrol station, was preparing to go to the patrol station for work.

He walked very fast, and his empty sleeve on his left side kept swinging back and forth.

When Han Dugu was attacking Chongqing, a fierce Ming army chopped off his left arm with a knife.

After he recovered from his injuries and was discharged from the army, he changed his job and became the director of the patrol station and settled down here.

He usually works very lightly, catching some petty thieves and mediating neighborhood conflicts.

If there is a real murder case, higher-level departments will come to provide support, and they will just cooperate with the action.

When he saw Wang Shu, the village postman, he smiled and said hello: "I haven't been to Hanjia Village for a long time. Who am I delivering letters to in the village?"

"Director Han, this is a letter for you.

Official documents and letters must be delivered to me personally. I have not sent them to the patrol station. You must sign for them in person."

Han Dugu took the letter and looked at the three large characters on the letter - Recruitment Order. The letter was signed to the Military and Administrative Office of the Southwest Governor's Office.

He was holding this letter with his right hand shaking.

"Director Han, if it is inconvenient for you to sign, you can put your fingerprint on this book."

Han Dugu pressed his handprint with his trembling right hand.

He took this letter and returned home immediately.

Instead of tearing the letter open with his teeth as usual, he opened the envelope bit by bit with his right hand, pulled out the letter inside, and read the contents.

Captain Han Dagu, the war is coming, King Su He of Qin ordered to recruit retired soldiers to join the army again.

According to your situation, you will re-enlist to serve as the commander of the third company of the fifth regiment of the Southwest Dudufu Logistics and Security Corps.

If you plan to re-enlist in the army, please register at the Nanchong County Government Office before October 20th.

Han Dagu leaned at the door of his home and thought carefully.

He longed for the battlefield where swords, guns, and blood rained down, even if he was just serving as a logistics soldier.

He felt that he couldn't let go of this family.

After he was discharged from the army, he got married, and now the child has not been weaned. If something goes wrong when he goes to the battlefield, what will the two of them do?

A relatively strong woman was walking home with her child on her back.

"Master, why didn't you go to work?

Don't worry about the fields. The township has already helped our family harvest the rice with machines.

Now the threshing machine has finished threshing the rice and stored it all in the warehouse built in the village.

Now even if it rains, we no longer have to worry about it."

Han Dugu was silent for a while, and then he said: "I received a recruitment order from the Governor's Office, calling me to re-enlist in the army.

Damn it, do you think I should sign up?"

"I know you, if you didn't want to go, you wouldn't tell me this.

I support your decision, even if you are honored, I will raise the child."

When Han Dugu heard what his wife said, he finally made up his mind and went to the county government to register.

"Excuse me, Commander Ji Feiyang, is your home here?"

Zhu Dashan, the leader of the Baoji Prefecture Security Corps, looked at the house full of people, and everyone's face was full of grief.

Soon a young man with a sad expression came out.

"I am Ji Feiyang, what do you want from me?"

"Captain Ji, the Fifth Army Headquarters has forwarded an official document through military channels and needs to be delivered to you in person."

Ji Feiyang took the official document from Zhu Dashan.

This official document is stamped with the official seal of the Fifth Army and the private seals of the Fifth Army Commander Su Li, Chief of Staff Pang Jianan, and Zhu Shi Zhongliqing.

He opened the seal on the official document and read it.

It was just an order for him to return to the army immediately and violate military law.

The tone was extremely harsh, this kind of thing is very rare.

Ji Feiyang asked for leave and used up all the vacation he had saved over the years. A normal vacation would last for three months.

It has only been half a month now, and he has only been home for two days when this order came.

It must be that not long after he left the army, huge changes occurred in the army.

Recall all officers and soldiers on leave.

In this case, if you do not return to the team on time, you will be treated as a deserter.

According to wartime regulations, they were shot directly without even interrogation.

Ji Feiyang walked into the hospital and saw his elder brother explaining the situation.

"Brother, the army urgently called me back, and I have no choice now.

My father is on his deathbed and he doesn’t know when he will grow old.

I can only rely on my eldest brother at home."

The eldest brother patted Ji Feiyang's shoulder and said, "You can return to the team with peace of mind. Under normal circumstances, I won't call you back to the team in a hurry.

Something big must have happened now, and there may be a war.

If you really go to the battlefield, you must ensure your own safety.

Leave everything in the house to me."

Ji Feiyang said goodbye to his relatives and friends, and looked at his father who was lying on the fire bed in great pain.

He knelt down by the fire bed, kowtowed three times, got dressed and walked out of the house.

Ji Feiyang rode the war horse borrowed from the army and rushed to Baihe County along the official road.

He had served as a top soldier in Baihe County before and knew that opposite Baihe County was the Xunyang Mansion of the Ming Dynasty.

The Imperial Guard is now stationed here, and the Fifth Army's station has been moved here. Could it be that they are preparing to march into Huguang?

…………………………

Qi Minggui, director of the Hanzhong Arsenal, held a factory mobilization meeting.

"After receiving the order from our superiors, starting today, everyone will work in two shifts.

The machine never rests, and no one is allowed to take leave.

Even if you work overtime, you must complete tasks with quality and quantity.

The weapons are all engraved with your serial number. If there is a problem with any weapon, you will be held responsible for life.

Everyone, please be more alert, you have such a good job.

Don't cause trouble for yourself and your descendants just because you are slacking off for a while.

Wages for overtime work are directly calculated as twice the normal wages."

Qi Minggui said at first that the workers were indifferent.

It is normal for the arsenal to work overtime. They all work overtime all the time.

After listening carefully, I realized that this is different from the previous overtime work, and the work intensity has doubled.

Now it is spinning continuously, producing weapons and ammunition non-stop.

This is really treating the workers like beasts. Factory Director Qi is not afraid of arousing the workers' anger and directly throws him out of office.

When they heard that overtime wages were twice the regular wages.

The unhappiness in everyone's hearts completely disappeared.

With such a high salary, they are willing to live in the company, let alone work two shifts.

When Qi Minggui saw the workers applauding, his tense mood relaxed.

The workers in the arsenal are the most skilled workers.

If he really pisses them off and causes these workers to go on strike, he will definitely not end well.

The Shaofu has issued a military order. Within one month, he must produce the ammunition required for a hundred thousand troops and a month of high-intensity combat.

Qi Minggui's only option is to expand the factory, which he has now done.

It's just that factories are easy to build, but workers are hard to find.

Recruiting workers in the arsenal requires a very complicated review.

The background check of the secret guard will take two to three months.

The new factory building has been built and the machines have been put into the factory building.

There are no new workers to operate the machines, so old workers can only be transferred to the new factory.
