Chapter 529 Recruitment Order

Guan Dali lay on the hot kang, sipping sugarcane wine, watching his children playing with the dog and his wife busy in the kitchen. He felt extremely happy in his heart. This was the greatest happiness in the world.
"I almost forgot about one more thing!" Guan Bei suddenly said while playing.

As he said that, he took out a letter, climbed onto the kang, and handed it to Guan Dali.

Guan Dali took it and looked at it, then asked in confusion, "How did you get this letter?"

"I met Uncle Guan Wu when I went to buy wine. He fell down. He said he had an important letter that he had to give to you, but he couldn't walk anymore, so he asked me to give it to you." Guan Bei said quickly.

He looked at the letter eagerly. He was familiar with the envelope of the letter, because he knew that his father would receive a letter with such an envelope every month. He also knew that the reason why his father could buy himself some wine and candy for him and his sister from time to time was because of such letters he received every month.

"Uncle Guan Wu repeatedly told me to make sure you see this letter." Guan Bei emphasized as he recalled the situation when he just met Uncle Guan Wu.

"Yes," Guan Dali nodded, then carefully opened the envelope, took out the letter inside and began to read.
Then Guan Dali put the letter down and waved to Guan Bei, "Bei'er, help Dad read this letter."

Guan Bei took the letter and asked doubtfully: "Dad, you never let me read this kind of letter to you before."

"Actually, I couldn't quite understand the previous letters, but I know the contents. This letter is different." Guan Dali glared at Guan Bei fiercely.

Guan Bei's head shrank, then he spread out the letter, cleared his throat and began to read the letter.
"Conscription Order!" Guan Bei's childish voice sounded in the house.

Guan Dali suddenly sat up straight and looked straight at Guan Bei.
Guan Bei was startled, but he continued reading: "Dear veteran of the Imperial Guards, we inform you with grief that the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Guards, His Majesty the Emperor Zhengde, was killed by the traitor Jiang. Jiang. Lin San half a month ago..."

"What Jiang Linsan?" Guan Dali asked seriously.

"I don't know how to pronounce this word." Guan Bei scratched his head and said.

Guan Dali looked carefully at the word Guan Bei pointed at and said, "I know how to pronounce this word. It's pronounced as bin. He is the admiral of the Imperial Guards. I've seen his name often before."

"Oh oh oh, he was killed by the traitor Jiang Bin, and his life or death in the capital is still unknown." Guan Bei continued reading.

"What?" Guan Dali grabbed Guan Bei and asked anxiously, "Did you read it correctly? Did you read it correctly?"

"No! I know all these words. I learned them in school." Guan Bei said quickly.

Guan Dali let go of Guan Bei in despair, muttering, "How is it possible? How is it possible?" Guan Bei picked up the envelope and continued to read, "Jiang Bin has evil ambitions and intends to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. You once followed Emperor Zhengde in battles and made great contributions to the country. The Ming Dynasty is in danger and needs warriors like you to stand up and fight for His Majesty to thwart Jiang Bin's conspiracy, so I specially summon you to join the army again."

"Your Majesty needs you, the Ming Dynasty needs you!"

"I hope that after receiving this conscription order, you will report to the nearest train station as quickly as possible. I look forward to fighting with you for His Majesty the Emperor Zhengde!"

"Zhu Hou. Hou. Huoquan, the Prince Regent of the Ming Dynasty. December 4, the twenty-fifth year of Zhengde." Guan Bei read the letter in one breath. Although he didn't quite understand some parts, he knew that something big had happened.

At this time, Guan Bei suddenly realized that his father had burst into tears. In his impression, his father was as cold and hard as a stone. It was the first time he saw his father crying like this.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The memories in Jiang Dali's mind suddenly flooded up, making him unable to control his emotions.

Then he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly wiped his snot and tears, and kept muttering: "Your Majesty needs me, fight for Your Majesty"

He looked up at the beam and soon saw what he was looking for. He struggled to stand up and tried to take the box down from the beam, but his right leg went weak and he fell onto the kang.
His right leg is not in the right shape and is lame.
"Bei'er, take that box down for me!" Guan Dali said.

"Okay, Dad!" Guan Bei was excited. He had been very curious about the box on the beam for a long time. He had wanted to secretly see what was in the box, but was discovered by Guan Dali and was beaten up.
From then on, he never touched the box on the beam again. Unexpectedly, his father would take the initiative to ask him to take the box down.

Guan Bei stepped on his father's shoulders and took the box down deftly.

Guan Dali carefully took the box, gently brushed off the dust on the surface of the box, and then opened the lock on the box.
Guan Bei hurried over. The first thing that caught his eye was a few small red square boxes. Under the small square boxes were a few red-covered notebooks with the words "Certificate of Honor" written on them. Under them was a set of red clothes neatly placed.
Guan Dali carefully took out the things inside and then started to put on the red clothes.
Guan Bei looked at his father with strange eyes. The dress was too red, like a ball of flame, redder than the red dress worn by Wang Po at the village head.
But when Guan Dali put on the clothes, Guan Bei's opinion changed. Guan Dali looked dignified and capable, which was completely different from what he had imagined.
Then Guan Dali opened the small boxes, took out five or six badges of different colors, and hung them on his chest.
These badges were copper, silver, and even gold. They were all made very beautifully. Guan Bei was dazzled by them. He had never seen anything so beautiful in his life.
Guan Dali touched his belly and muttered, "I've gained a lot of weight. My clothes don't fit me anymore."

At this moment, there was a sound of porcelain breaking at the door.
Guan Dali and Guan Bei turned around and saw Guan Li standing at the door, staring blankly at Guan Dali in his military uniform.
"What's going on?" Guan Li asked in shock.

Guan Dali and Guan Bei exchanged glances, then explained to Guan Li what had happened.

After hearing this, Guan Li burst into tears immediately, "I don't understand why we have to recruit a cripple like you. With your lame leg, it's hard for you to escape from the battlefield."

"The Guards will not run away!" Guan Dali looked at Guan Li and said seriously.

"If we encounter such a situation, we will move forward with our chests held high. Even if we die on the way forward, we will not turn around and run away." Guan Dali showed a proud expression.

Guan Li stopped crying, stared at Guan Dali blankly for a while, and then cried even louder.
