In addition, there are some newly surrendered and defected forces. These forces will be arranged to do grassroots work first, and then it will depend on the situation in the future whether they will be fully accepted and promoted.

Finally, this part originated from the military and has existed throughout history.

After all, the soldiers of Daqian are not illiterate.

New recruits are taught to read and write at the initial stage. After a few years, not all of them will become successful, but any soldier from this 200,000-strong army is capable of serving as an ordinary official.

After all, it is also a merit. If you are really lucky and think it is appropriate, it is possible to transfer from a soldier to a clerk, or from a military to a civil servant. It may not be impossible to be promoted from a clerk in the future.

certainly......

In fact, there are still relatively few people in the army who are willing to change their careers. At most, they can temporarily hold a position and gain some merit and experience, but most of them will not be happy to completely change from soldiers to officials.

This opportunity to gain military merit has finally come, and no one would give it up.

It's just that they have just captured the city and are short of manpower, so they are just holding on temporarily. After getting through the initial stage, they still have to return to the team. The real job is to continue to make contributions in subsequent battles.

Besides, if one really wants to be transferred from a soldier to an official, then after making military merits and getting a higher position, he can also get a better level of treatment when he transfers to civilian work.

At this time, in a corner a little further away from the crowd.

Two ragged young men were looking around secretly.

"Young Master Ling, aren't we going to register? I've found out everything. We have to register, make a list, and get an ID card. Only then can we be considered citizens of Daqian. Maybe we can even join the Daqian army in the future!"

One of the young men, who had a square face and was not particularly handsome but had a rather masculine temperament, was speaking in a low voice to another person.

When mentioning the army, his eyes involuntarily looked at the elite soldiers who were patrolling a little further away. He saw that they were wearing armor and holding weapons, and every move they made was filled with an indescribable sense of order, showing the style of a powerful force in the army!

I couldn't help but look envious and fascinated.

The other man, with a softer, more handsome appearance and a more calm and reserved temperament, hesitated after hearing this and said, "That being said, Master Zhong, we were all Boss Yan's men before. You saw him being taken to a public trial and sentenced yesterday, and a bunch of his men were also imprisoned. If our identities were discovered, would we be implicated as well?"

"That shouldn't be the case..." Kou Zhong hesitated after hearing this, but he quickly cheered up: "Young Master Ling, look, although we are Boss Yan's men, we haven't done anything harmful to the world. At most, we just stole some things to make ends meet. It's not a big deal. I think most of Boss Yan's men back then, except for a few, didn't get a heavy sentence. They only had to serve one or two months of labor reform before being released. For people like us, I think a month is the maximum. What are you afraid of?"

Xu Ziling pondered, "Master Zhong, I'm not afraid, but I have some concerns. We don't know the exact details of the forced labor punishment. What if it's very harsh and our lives are in danger? We won't be able to escape then and can only wait for death!"

"I don't think so. If that were the case, what difference would it make if the sentence was more or less? Wouldn't it be a waste of time, like taking off your pants to fart? Besides, we've all seen what the Qian army is like, so I think we can rest assured. Besides..." Kou Zhong paused slightly, then smiled and said, "Yesterday and today, the Qian army has been opening their warehouses to distribute food. We've finally been able to have a few full meals, so we're indebted to them. If anything goes wrong, we'll just have to pay with our lives."

Xu Ziling was also moved by what he said and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhong, what you said is encouraging. It's true. Our brotherhood comes first. Since we have received the kindness of the Qian Army, there is no reason not to repay it."

Two young men who depended on each other for survival had agreed on something and were about to go forward to line up when they suddenly heard a clear and cold laugh. They were startled and turned around to see a tall woman in snow-white warrior uniform standing two feet away. She had a bamboo hat on her head with a layer of heavy gauze hanging down. Her face could not be seen, but her jaw was slightly pointed and round, crystal white, and there was a tiny mole on the side of her lips, which added a bit of mystery. Just one glance could make people conclude that this woman must be extremely beautiful, and her temperament made her even more graceful.

Kou Zhong blinked, amazed, but thinking of her laughter, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! Girl, what were you laughing at just now? Did we say something funny?"

Xu Ziling touched him and signaled him not to talk nonsense. Although the woman in front of him was stunning at first glance, she was obviously not someone to be trifled with. In his opinion, he should avoid any contact with her.

But seeing that Kou Zhong had already spoken, he had no choice but to stop.

The woman snorted coldly, "Of course I'm laughing at you two brats for overestimating yourselves. Where do you get the confidence to think that the Daqian Army would value your lives? What are you worth being schemed against?"

Chapter 635: Fu Jun'er! The Future of Goguryeo!

After hearing this, Kou Zhong just laughed and said, "You are so tactless and your words really spoil the fun! What's our brothers' business? Why are you overestimating yourself? Young lady, you are too contemptuous! Just wait and see, I will definitely become a successful person and achieve great things in the future! When that happens, you will know whether my life is precious and worth it!"

Xu Ziling looked a little embarrassed. He tugged at Kou Zhong and whispered, "Mr. Zhong, just ignore her."

He had sharp eyes and had already seen the long sword hanging on the other person's waist. He was probably a swordsman?

This is not something they can afford to mess with.

There is no need to argue with him just for the sake of breathing.

Kou Zhong also saw it, but waved his hand, not afraid at all: "Young Master Ling, there's no need to be afraid of her. Yangzhou City is guarded by the Daqian Army. How dare she hurt anyone?"

As he spoke, he looked at the woman with a smug look and a provocative expression.

"He's definitely good at leveraging his power to bully others, like a fox pretending to be a tiger, but..." The female swordsman snorted coldly, scrutinizing Kou Zhong for a moment, then added, "You're a small-time thug, but you've got such ambition. That's rare. Maybe... you can actually do something."

Having said that, he no longer paid any attention to them, glanced at the registration team, and turned away.

When Kou Zhong heard this, his expression froze.

Originally, when he heard the other party's sarcastic remarks, he didn't show it on his face, but he might have been secretly annoyed in his heart. But when he heard the other party's slight praise, his anger disappeared for a moment, and he felt a sense of joy of being recognized.

Hey! You’re really good at judging people!

Kou Zhong touched his chin and grinned, "Young Master Ling, this girl really has a keen eye. She noticed my uniqueness at first sight!"

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were very familiar with each other. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "Mr. Zhong, I bet you were cursing at me in your heart just now."

"Hey! How can you slander someone's innocence? I'm not that kind of person!" Kou Zhong smiled.

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the back of the line and were queuing.

On the other side, Fu Jun'er walked out of Yangzhou City and looked back with a complicated expression.

This trip to the Sui Dynasty was originally ordered by her master to assassinate Yang Guang. Unfortunately, the assassination attempt failed and she was injured. She was chased all the way by Yu Wenhuaji and the guards he led. She had no choice but to flee south along the Yangtze River. If it were not for the arrival of the Daqian army, which directly shocked and frightened Yu Wenhuaji away, her current situation would most likely still be dangerous and unpredictable.

"Daqian..."

Fu Jun'er murmured to herself, waves of emotion appearing in her beautiful eyes.

She had heard of the name Daqian when she was in Goguryeo, but she didn't know much about it. She only heard that it had a vast territory, a strong national power, and the most elite military force in the world!

It’s just... I know it, but after all, we are too far away from each other, so it’s hard to have any intuitive feeling.

Only after seeing the Daqian army in person did I realize that the rumors were true!

Even this rumor is relatively conservative.

Fu Jun'er felt quite complicated.

On the one hand, one is naturally amazed at the elite strength of the Daqian army, which is truly astonishing and invincible!

The Sui Dynasty, which had been on high alert and regarded as a powerful enemy by Goguryeo, was completely defeated by the Daqian army's attack! There was even the possibility of overthrow at any time!

Fu Jun'er felt both happy about her revenge and worried about the future of Goguryeo.

The Sui Dynasty's three campaigns against Goguryeo resulted in countless casualties among its people, weakening the nation and leaving it destitute and exhausted. This was a national and familial feud! Fu Jun'er deeply hated the Sui Emperor Yang Guang and traveled south to assassinate him, not only to obey her teacher's orders, but also out of her own heartfelt desire to rid the world of this tyrant!

Knowing that the Sui Dynasty had suffered defeat after defeat and that more than one-third of its territory had been seized and occupied was naturally a great relief.

But...this is also where the worry lies.

The combat power displayed by the Daqian elite was too terrifying!

It would be easy to annex the Sui Dynasty!

And once the Sui Dynasty is completely destroyed, will the Daqian army stop fighting?

It would be fine if the war could just stop here, but what if not?

Will Goguryeo, which borders the Sui Dynasty, become the next target of the Daqian?

Could Goguryeo resist an elite army that even the Sui Dynasty found difficult to resist?

This is completely different from the situation when the Sui Dynasty launched three expeditions to Goguryeo.

The reason why Goguryeo was able to hold on was because of the right time, place and people, which allowed it to barely repel the Sui army.

But if it were the Qian Army, Fu Jun'er would find it hard to imagine how they could resist such an elite force that was the best in the world!

Rely on the right time and place?

The elite troops of Daqian were able to cross and even traverse the forbidden desert stretching for thousands of miles with almost no losses. Such elite troops and generals were beyond the imagination of the world! Could the dangerous mountains and rivers of Goguryeo alone hinder the Daqian army's attack?

Of course it’s impossible!

Then is it because of logistical pressure?

This is also not feasible.

After all...they can accomplish an expedition thousands of miles away, which shows how strong their logistics are!

It's hard to call it an obstacle.

Moreover, Daqian has now seized the border states and counties of the Sui Dynasty. How far is it from the border to Goguryeo?

Thousands of miles away, it can meet the military supplies of 200,000 elite troops. How can this place... not be able to meet the needs?

The most important point is that the Goguryeo army, even the most elite part, can never be compared with the Qian army, let alone withstand its offensive!

Even if we clear the walls and fields and defend the city without leaving, it will be of no use.

She had witnessed with her own eyes how the Qian army easily broke through and occupied Yangzhou City, a big city in the south. Under normal circumstances, even if an army of 100,000 were besieging the city, it would not be a problem to hold out for a year or two. But for the Qian army, let alone a year or two, it took less than half an hour!

Moreover, the number of soldiers used was only a few thousand.

The difference in combat power is like the difference between heaven and earth!

If you look closely, Goguryeo's army is not as good as the Sui Dynasty's army!

If Daqian were to target Goguryeo, the situation would be no better than that of the Sui Dynasty. It's highly likely they wouldn't even be able to hold out for half a month...

Fu Jun'er couldn't help feeling a little worried when she thought about this.

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 636: The Differences Between Daqian and Dasui! Heading North! Pegasus Ranch!

only......

Thinking about what she had seen and heard during this period of time, Fu Jun'er found it difficult to feel any rejection in her heart.

After all, she herself was not of noble birth, nor was she a high-ranking official in Goguryeo. Compared with the high-ranking ruling class and vested interests, she naturally tended to be more sympathetic to the common people.

If Goguryeo was really annexed and ruled by Daqian, it seems... there would be nothing wrong with it?

At the very least, people's living conditions will be ten or even a hundred times better than they are now!

This is fundamentally different from the Sui Dynasty.

The Sui Dynasty launched three expeditions to Goguryeo simply to satisfy Yang Guang's ambitious desire for conquest. If he had succeeded, the people of Goguryeo would have soon suffered the same fate as the people of the Sui Dynasty.

Being levied and oppressed! Never ending!

Therefore, when facing the Sui Dynasty, the people of Goguryeo were determined to resist to the end, and there was no possibility of compromise!

However...Daqian is different.

She had seen a lot during the two days in Yangzhou City. Although she could not say that she had a deep understanding of Daqian, just based on what she saw here, she could clearly and intuitively feel that Daqian's governance was clean and strict!

All the policies implemented are beneficial to the country and the people!

This can be seen from the fact that the local people quickly won over the cause.

If the people of Goguryeo knew about this situation, what would their attitude be? What would their choice be when the Daqian army arrived?

If you think about it for a while, you can guess it.

Fu Jun'er looked thoughtful.

I gradually began to have ideas about what to do next.

First of all, the assassination plan must be abandoned.

If you fail once, there will be no second chance.

Besides, the Sui Dynasty court is now unable to take care of itself, and the tyrant Yang Guang will definitely come to an end in the future, so there is no need for an assassination.

Just wait for a while, and perhaps you will hear about the tyrant's end...

She was looking forward to it.

Secondly, this trip to the Sui Dynasty, in addition to assassinating Yang Guang, actually also had the mission of exploring Yang Gong's treasure.

It is said that the treasure contains a large amount of wealth and weapons.

As long as she could find out clearly, she would be able to obtain a large amount of military equipment, supplies and huge wealth for Goguryeo.

At worst, the news can be spread to strengthen the anti-Sui forces and speed up the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

Previously, she was still hesitant about how to deal with Yang Gong's treasure, but now it seems that perhaps she can give it to Daqian to obtain?

Although for Daqian, these things may not even be the icing on the cake, but firstly, as long as they can contribute to the cause of destroying Sui Dynasty, even if it is just a little bit of help, she will be happy to do it; secondly, Daqian is so powerful, no matter what the future holds, it is a good thing to establish a good relationship first.
