In a corner of Jiangning City, which is still shrouded in a joyful afterglow, a small tavern opened in a shabby alley was carried down and an extremely welcoming banquet was held.

The big bowl of potato-sauce wine, the big chunks of sauce boiled fat and thighs, facing the taste of these bold and brave men, they were full of oil and drank them all, but their expressions were not so pleasant and joyful.

"Although the land on Huai River is large, it is no longer a place where we are heroes of the world."

An indignant voice was coming, but it was a man from the north with a deep face and thick hands and feet.

"It is said that Huai land has many wealth and opportunities... but it's another matter when it really comes."

"The local governments are doing the same as farming and fighting, and the method of joining household baojia, especially the strict discipline of outsiders."

"It can be regarded as a place of severe punishment and law that can be taken care of from head to toe,"

"As long as you are in a city, even if you spit on the ground and make it convenient for the roadside, you may cause accountability from officials."

"If you can't handle it for a few words, don't say you're going to lose money and get rid of your life, you'll have to suffer the pain of being imprisoned."

"A lot of fellow gangsters have suffered a big trouble just because they didn't investigate for a while..."

"I was detained and arrested on the spot, and I was sent to the place where I was sent to the house, and I suffered from the hard labor."

"There are even those who lost their lives for this...."

"This is simply a tyrannical and tyrannical Qin Dynasty's evil laws that are alive..."

"What's more, the local area does not value scholars at all but is good at using officials..."

"In this place, any minor official can easily interrogate and humiliate us..."

"Every time I regard it as a sinner and will never give up..."

"Otherwise, why would I run far south of this river?"

Of course, what they say is also indecent or deliberately making choices and conceals.

Since the fall of the Northern Dynasties, the heroes, rangers, swordsmen, and even other figures from all kinds of people from the grassroots or green forests who were originally in the separatist and melee of the vassal states, have all lost a general direction to struggle and work hard.

Therefore, in the northern land today, there is enough confidence and capital, and enough prospects and room for improvement, so there are only a few forces left to accept their investment. Among them, Gao Chong, the governor of Guannei, or Wang Duanchen, who is the left-behind Wang Duanchen, are typical confidants who value the southern army, and their subordinates are destroyed and their livelihood is in decline.

Therefore, there is enough basic territory, as well as enough structure and space to give people the hope and expectation of high officials and generous salaries; but correspondingly, Huaizhen also has strict scrutiny for these foreign populations and has a high threshold. If it is just a simple transit or a short stay, as long as someone in the local area can register with the government and receive a certificate.

However, it is not that easy to settle down and settle down in Huai Town, and it requires corresponding contributions or a relatively long period of identification and postgraduate entrance examinations. This is undoubtedly the most difficult thing for these rich men in the world who are unrestrained and free by nature and often have no place to live.

In other words, many of them are unwilling to accept this all-round restraint, and they are at ease to be a kind and obedient people who are indifferent to the world under the social system of Huaizhen, and are unwilling to endure the supervision of relatively strict military disciplines and regulations. They join the army because they are eager to get to know each other, and start to seek a new origin from the bottom. They just regard Huai land as a safe haven and temporary residence for rest.

However, Huai land is so safe and peaceful that there are neither many crimes of committing crimes and need to be rewarded with external forces to chase them; there are not many demands for escorts along the way, and even the number of their own escorts and the style and length of weapons they are equipped with are strictly restricted and controlled;

Then, after gradually slept with nothing, someone saw the prosperity and stability of the local area, as well as the unprepared traffic in the countryside outside the city, and inevitably made some illegal and illegal activities, and then he was like stabbing a beehive, causing big trouble and mobilizing the local people to chase and get imprisoned;

For example, after stealing a few chickens, someone was surrounded and blocked by the people of the entire village with weapons. Finally, he jumped into a stinky ditch and was still unable to escape being detained and paraded, and then sent to the labor camp to redeem the tragic result. As for the bold and reproached people who dared to kill and kill lives or resist in the local area, they didn't know how they died. Many of them were beaten into sifted corpses and dried heads, and they are still hanging from ports and exits everywhere in Huai.

Or in other words, since the local area has equipped and owned the corresponding firearms, the martial arts that these foreign rangers rely on for fame and life are no longer so psychological and physiological advantages, which undoubtedly further leads to their loss and confusion.

"Even that Song Gongming and Song Heisan was a person who claimed to be in time for rain at that time..."

Thinking of this, another voice said with a grudge that was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that it was so angry that

"Now, after joining the official family, I have become a stern face and no longer take my fellow workers seriously..."

"Even if you come to the door and ask for a meal..."

"We must also pretend to be stylistically, and we will be embarrassed by all kinds of requests..."

"Even if you want him to be a guarantor, you can rest on the ground and avoid the limelight."

"I refused to agree, so I took some small money and sent it out."

"It's just a person who looks down on people..."

"Don't say this Song Heisan..."

Another person said with an excuse full of grumbling.

"Even if it was the guy Lu Junyi, who was once generous and known as the Jade Qilin...

"Why is the King Chao who is very friendly and generous in his friends, he looks so evaded by it..."

"Or it is the virtue of dislike in the three...."

Of course, for these foreigners who voluntarily defect or enter the country, Huaizhen still has a semi-official institution, the Weiwen Department, which is specially used to accept registration for those strange people who believe they have some skills and corresponding skills and expertise, and to conduct corresponding evaluation and recognition, and then give corresponding identities and treatments based on their reflected values.

But what is disappointing is that in the selection list of the strange news department, various craftsmen and craftsmen, even veteran farmers, or thieves, are the non-stop methods of craftsmen and craftsmen; they are always easier and more opportunities to obtain preliminary review and approval than these craftsmen who are good at fighting or fighting for victory; only some martial arts inherited by special sects and fighting skills suitable for military promotion will be selected as special trainers or officials, and they will have the sixth and seventh grade household registration and identity qualifications.

As for those heroes who became monks and became spontaneously and relied on the experience accumulated by fighting, most of them were blocked out of the door again and again. Some even fell into prison because they were only recognized and exposed the old stories of committing crimes back then, and then fell into prison and waited for the crime to be punished.

Therefore, in a sense, Huaizhen has become an invisible black hole in the eyes of these northern heroes. Those who were attracted by the past will either polish their edges and sharpness and be incorporated and transformed by the system; or they will discourage the past and take their families to settle down and become a good citizen who pays food and pays taxes; or they will simply be crushed into ashes by the system under rash resistance.

Of course, there are other people who do not want to give up the material richness and social convenience in Huai land, nor do they want to waste their abilities and skills, nor do they want to be strictly controlled; so after they finally thought about change, they also found a way to choose the fourth road that was free, which was to gather together in groups to seek life on the edge of the control of the Huai Town power;

On the one hand, through corresponding mortgages and guarantees, in the Yanbian area of ​​Huaizhen, he obtained a fixed foothold and repairing and supplying office as an official registered bourgeoisie group; on the other hand, he took the initiative to undertake some rewards that occurred outside the sphere of influence of Huaizhen, eliminated scattered bandits in the wilderness and captured refugees, and even the escort work after the corresponding business travel situation, and then used the convenience of long-term entry and exit to rush the price difference between some internal and external specialties, and gradually gained a foothold in these gray areas on the edge.

Of course, with this opportunity and direction, when most people grow older in the future, they can choose to use their savings to naturalize themselves to Huai for retirement, or to find opportunities to make up for the opportunity and future of a certain origin in the sequence of auxiliary service when Huaizhen reopens war and expands its military. As the saying goes, the doctrine of moderate practice of having room for advancement and retreat.

Like the host and convener of the banquet who was sitting on his head but basically didn't speak, Huang Xin, who was once a generation of Zhongzhou heroes, called "Zhen Sanshan", and the old brothers who had worked together to seek life many times and had also made several wars, also took different paths;

For example, Duan Jingzhu, who was a family-born Xiangmao, who was a horse-training equestrian, Tang Long, who once professionally built military armor for the court, Jiang Jing, who was proficient in number calculations and was known as a live abacus, Hou Jian, who was a former tailor family known as a magic needle, and Meng Kang, who had experience in supervising the construction of large ships in the river trough, all passed the review of the Weiwen Department and embarked on the corresponding special personnel.

Even Jiao Ting, the pickpocket leader he knew, who was known as "despicable", was also retained in another way after being identified, and used as a reverse material for street anti-pickpocketing and stealing methods, as well as teaching corresponding modified voice and content methods.

The older grades have some savings, such as Pei Xuan, the "Iron Holem" Li Yun, the "Old Judge" Song Qing, and the "Iron Fan" who spent a lot of naturalization to move their family to Xinzhou, Yanbian, Huai Town, and opened houses and shops in the city, which was considered to be abandoning the past to support the rest of their lives.

As for the younger and stronger juniors and newcomers he knew, such as Yang Lin, the "Broken Leopard" and Xuan Zan, he followed the old friend "Little Tornado" Chai Jin, and now he is the way of the first battalion governing the Chai Grand Official, and joined the army to become a junior school and a card official.

There is also Liu Menglong, who was once a "hunjianglong" from Green Forest and a local naval army leader. He joined forces to form a group of 70 or 80 people in Sizhou, specializing in waterway guarding and purifying business in Yanbian of the Huai River.

On the contrary, these people who were represented by Huang Xin, the "Three Mountains" who could not survive and had to come to the south were frustrated after fierce competition and differentiation. After the fierce competition and transformation, they were both losers who could not change their old habits or those who could not endure hardships and restraints, and thus were eliminated and were frustrated.

However, what is surprising is that in this capital south of the river, some people are willing to accept and recruit special people from the northern region, and give them corresponding treatments for a long time. Now it is finally time for them to be useful in private.
