Chapter 842
Suddenly, the crowd sitting on the ground in groups of three or four became more and more noisy, and people who knew each other and those who didn't were chatting together.
They poured out the bitterness they had suppressed for months.
At this moment, someone, not knowing what was on their mind, chuckled bitterly at themselves, "Oh! This frustration is probably far from over!"
The person next to him asked, "Brother, is there something behind what you said?"
The person who spoke sighed deeply, glanced in the direction of the Alchemy Department from a distance, and said, "Now we feel suffocated by the gate. I'm afraid that being the gatekeeper is still considered good! At the very least, we are still called Jinyiwei in name and work in the Jinyiwei Yamen!"
"Now I've been transferred to the Alchemy Department..."
"We're just rough guys. We're good at fighting and beating up those Yuan barbarians, but what else can we do in this alchemy department besides doing hard labor for those immortal masters?"
Having said this, the man lowered his head in frustration.
As everyone knows, this Alchemy Bureau is a place where His Majesty recruited many Taoist masters to make elixirs. His Majesty attaches great importance to it. Even the Jinyiwei sent to guard here were transferred from the Longxiong Guard and Huxiong Guard, which are the most trusted and closest to His Majesty.
These people, who were transferred from foreign enemies and were rootless, had only done things like guarding the gate and patrolling after being incorporated into the Jinyiwei. It was obvious that they were not here to take over the work of the Longxiongwei and Huxiongwei.
That being the case.
If you just use your brain to think about it a little, the statement "coming here to work as a coolie"... seems to be the only conclusion left.
Therefore, when these words were spoken.
The originally noisy sounds slowly faded away like the tide, and the atmosphere became inexplicably heavy. Instead, sighs rose one after another.
Working as a laborer in the Alchemy Department...what future could there be? — Water flows to the lowest places, while people strive for the highest ones. This is something no one wants.
But thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the king.
No matter what the situation is now or in the future, they, who have no background, will not be able to disobey.
The dead silence lasted for a moment.
Someone muttered indignantly in a low voice, "Tsk! Might as well go back to the borderlands and eat sand! The name may not sound so good, but it's so refreshing! It's so free and easy! If the Yuan barbarians dare to come, I'll take them on!"
Compared to simply guarding the gate, patrolling, or even being forced to do hard labor in the Alchemy Bureau, guarding the border guard post...
Firstly, it is a great pleasure to punish those who have oppressed me in the past;
Secondly, tinkering with and studying things that you have been immersed in for many years and putting them to use gives you a great sense of accomplishment.
Thirdly, if you do a good job, the Ming Dynasty will reward you according to your military merits, so there will definitely be opportunities and room for promotion in the future.
By contrast.
No wonder there are so many voices of resentment.
Among the people present.
Some of them came from the Military Equipment Bureau and the Military Equipment Bureau of Yingtian Prefecture.
But more of them came from major bases. The early Ming Dynasty had just emerged from the chaotic times and its military power was spread all over the world. No matter where they came from, they were definitely not cowards. Wherever they went, they would become soldiers.
This man's words, which came out of his heart, touched the hearts of many people. When they heard about fighting the Yuan barbarians, they all became excited, and even the frustration on their faces faded a lot. They all raised their heads and responded:
"That's right! I came from the Daning garrison! When those stubborn Yuan barbarians head south, Daning will be the first to bear the brunt of their attack! But I'm not afraid at all!"
"Lead the charge! Push your muskets forward, load them with gunpowder, stone bullets, and iron bullets, and start smashing! Smash to death those Yuan barbarians who are still determined to come to our Ming border to raid the grasslands (using the excuse of horse herding as a pretext to plunder and use as military pay, commonly known as raiding the grasslands), and smash their horses too!"
