Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower-Chapter 2544 - 2546: Recruitment

"General Xing?" Shi Hao Yi saw Long Qian Xing’s look and called out.

"It’s nothing." Long Qian Xing shook his head and then said, "I’ll stay here and wait for Hua’er."

"She shouldn’t take a long time unless Master has a lot of things to say," Shi Hao Yi said and then he thought about Qi Xue. Considering that there were not many people to talk with, Qi Xue might want to talk a bit more with Nan Hua.

Moreover, Qi Xue had just opened her store and if Nan Hua were to come, she could also increase the status of her restaurant.

Well…

Can it be considered taking advantage of their relationship with Traveling Doctor Liu and his other disciples?

Traveling Doctor Liu often warned them not to take advantage of his status and identity, but Shi Hao Yi felt that it couldn’t be helped. Sometimes, it was easier for them to connect with the people who were also Traveling Doctor Liu’s disciples.

Of course, there were also times when it was the complete opposite.

They were not willing to have any contact with other people who were also Traveling Doctor Liu’s disciples.

It just simply depends on their preferences.

"I know." Long Qian Xing nodded and didn’t care too much. After all, he also knew that Traveling Doctor Liu is Nan Hua’s master and had taught her many things ever since she was young. There was no way that Nan Hua not want to talk with her Master.

He looked outside and then asked another question, "Are there any construction ordered by Fei Yang Kingdom?"

"There are roads connecting one city to another," Shi Hao Yi replied. "But many roads were not done yet."

Fan Yi Kingdom had only fallen for a few months and there was not enough time for them to complete the construction of road for the entire area. Moreover, the manpower was simply not enough…

Wait, is it really not enough?

If Long Qian Xing was not wrong, Fei Yang Kingdom took a lot of war prisoners and used them to build various things.

Even though slavery couldn’t be said to be right, but Long Qian Xing chose not to say anything. The practice in this era was like that and unless one was at the position where they could influence the politics and various important people’s decision, they could only follow the flow.

Long Qian Xing had no interest to enter the politics, so he didn’t say anything about this.

And for Fei Yang Kingdom, using these war prisoners as labor forces were much better than killing them directly. After all, there were many things that Fei Yang Kingdom had to do after the war was over.

It was impossible for them to kill everyone who refused Fei Yang Kingdom.

Otherwise, they would severely lack people who could work for them.

"Are there more medical students?" Long Qian Xing asked another question. He felt that there were more people in this place.

"Some people are trying to avoid the soldiers’ conscription. Medical personnel were among the people who would not be asked to go to the frontline," Shi Hao Yi replied helplessly.

This was actually quite embarrassing.

But because there were already many soldiers who were recruited by Fan Yi Kingdom back then, the remaining people couldn’t withstand such consumption anymore. After all, they knew very well that as long as they were of age, they might be called to the frontline to fight for the kingdom.

Fei Yang Kingdom back then took a long time under Emperor Yang Zhou’s grandfather’s time to increase the number of soldiers.

There was nothing that they could do but to wait.

It was also because of the accumulation time that took so long that Emperor Yang Zhou’s grandfather failed to fulfill his dream.

It was passed down to his grandson, allowing Emperor Yang Zhou to have great advantage in terms of number and many others.

With so many soldiers, Emperor Yang Zhou finally managed to conquer the entire lands.

If one had to say, in the beginning, the number of soldiers in Fei Yang Kingdom was second only to Shi Long Kingdom. Moreover, the policy that Emperor Yang Zhou made allowed the number of people to continue.

But this was not the same for other kingdoms.

For example, Fan Yi Kingdom.

While they have a lot of soldiers but the last war against Fei Yang Kingdom made Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor had to force recruit many soldiers at the last minutes. And these soldiers without any training only existed as nothing more than cannon fodder.

They didn’t even know how to fight, so how could one expect them to make proper contribution in the army?

They were only there for the sake of being a meat shield.

Many of them died but some of them remained and those who declared themselves loyal to Fei Yang Kingdom were spared. But those others who refused to switch to Fei Yang Kingdom side had turned into war prisoners.

But these people would not be easily sent back to their home.

Their status remained as soldiers.

And if they head back home on their own, they would become deserters and could be killed at will. Their family would also be implicated, so many people didn’t dare to do so. They could only honestly wait.

Now that Fei Yang Kingdom might want to fight against the northern tribe, they also needed soldiers.

"There’s recruitment?" Long Qian Xing asked in surprise.

Shi Hao Yi nodded. "Yes, there’s recruitment for soldiers and this time it’s not mandatory. However, some people are afraid in case Fei Yang Kingdom needs a lot of soldiers and there will be forced conscription, so they turned to me and become disciples here."

As long as they have the status of medical disciple, they would not be sent to the battlefield. Even if they go, it would be as medical personnel and they could stay at the rear, responsible for helping the injured soldiers.
