Gu Zheng didn't want to smear the other party's kindness. After he responded with a smile, he came to the old village chief when they walked away and told him what he wanted to come this time.

"Missar, I want to be a sailor."

"What?"

The village chief was still thinking about how to get a good price for the fishing goods in the village during this bumper harvest year. After hearing Gu Zheng's words, he was stunned.

"How old are you? Why do you think about joining the army?"

"At a young age, don't think it's easy to be a navy leader just because of good luck."

"It is safe and secure in this village, and you don't need food or clothing. Just the harvest from going to sea this time, you can get a lot of money."

"In two years, the village chief's grandfather will be the leader, and tell you that you are a good family and have a treacherous child. This will also make the incense of your old Gu family prosperous again."

But Gu Zheng, who had already made up his mind, could the old village chief pass it by just a few words?

He smiled and took out the famous letter from Wang Yingqiang and Wang Baihu from his arms, and then shook it in front of the old village chief.

"It's too late. Yesterday I agreed with the official who escorted us back and went to his military camp to report today."

"That's why I will tell you my plan to Grandpa. By the way, hehe, let's pre-pay my share of this trip to the sea."

"After all, I will represent our little fish village in the future, and I will be alone in the military camp of Weihaiwei."

"Isn't it unfounded if there is no money on it?"

Hey, when did this boy Gu Zheng become so smart and decisive?

The village chief seemed to have met the most ordinary boy in the village today, and looked at Gu Zheng several times.

Just as the boy's increasingly determined eyes sighed and compromised, "Oh, okay, if you really make a decision, let me go home and get some."

"Grandpa Qian's family will help you with this."

"But such a big thing, why did you decide so suddenly? At least I would like to tell you in advance, so I would like to ask the villagers to set up a practice table for you."

"Also, the Gu family's kids, you can figure it out clearly. Being a sailor is no better than those of us fishing people. That's not a joke. If you accidentally lose your life."

"You are the only one in your Gu family. Why don't you wait any longer? After you are sixteen, you can marry a wife and stay with me, and then you can go out and have a chance?"

What?

By that time, the daylily fields had been uprooted.

The client's request was to embrace the beauty. If Gu Zheng really stayed in the village until the sixteenth day, looking around, Lin Shuixiu would really be the only choice left.

Gu Zheng turned his head and bowed to the village chief's idea. He fanned the wind out of his hand. He began to pull the village chief's sleeve regardless of it and dragged him towards home.

"Oh my village chief, grandpa, even my dear grandpa is not as annoying as you. I'm still waiting to go to the navy to report. You, please, get me some money, right?"

"Don't worry, you don't know the nature of my boy Gu? If there was really any danger, I would have gone down hard and when I came out again, I would have escaped without anyone noticing."

As expected, the old and weak village chief could not resist Gu Zheng's tearing, and finally returned home obediently and put the rare silver in Gu Zheng's arms.

"Take so much money, be careful. These slings are too inconvenient, so it's easy to hide some small silver dollars."

"When you have settled down, I often go back to the village to check out during Mu Xiu's day. Anyway, Weihaiwei is close to our village, so grandpa will make delicious food for you!"

"Okay!" Looking at the nagging old man, Gu Zheng felt a little jealous. When he waved his eighteenth hand towards the village chief's house, he could no longer see the old man who was slowly following him and wanted to send him a little more.

It's great. Some people in the village are waiting for him to return. When he has time, he must be filial to the old man who has grown up half-pulled.

Gu Zheng, who was no longer nostalgic, walked very quickly and after passing through Longkou Village, which was half a mile away, he could reach the camp station where Weihaiwei was located.

He didn't care about seeing the first scenery along the way in this world, but just kept rushing forward with his head down.

"Who! Stop walking forward, the Weihaiwei station is ahead. The idle people are prohibited from moving forward!"

The sound of the patrol soldiers stopping Gu Zheng's feet wearing straw sandals finally made Gu Zheng stop.

The thin black boy immediately showed a simple smile and bowed half unfamiliar to the patrolling team officers and soldiers: "I wonder if the official, where is the recruitment point of Weihaiwei?"

"oh?"

When I heard the inquiry from the man opposite, who was born as a fisherman and was not old, he had stopped patrolling the five guards, and glanced up and down at Gu Zheng and pointed in one direction.

"Did you see the blue square over there? Under the row of wooden masts, there is a table with an umbrella. There is someone who will be responsible for registering there."

"Oh, one last question." When the leader saw Gu Zheng's thanks and was about to leave, he spoke curiously: "How old are you?"

“Tenth Fourteen.”

"Oh, so young? Your family is willing to let you join the army?"

"I, there is no one in my house."

Cooperating with Gu Zheng's somewhat dim expression, the members of the team patrolling the side all showed a sudden expression.

Their Weihaiwei has been expanding its enrollment for several days. Apart from those bachelors who have no homes and no jobs to recruit for money, few of the fishermen around here have called for registration accordingly.

This half-grown boy looked pitiful. He was so thin that he might only have a bite of food when he came to their military camp.

The military men who were really misunderstood had a better attitude towards Gu Zheng again. They waved their hands together and gave the best proposal for people like Gu Zheng.

"Then you have to explain your situation to the clerk who wrote it clearly when you go to register for the army. When distributing daily supplies, our Weihaiwei has specially prepared a gift package for you, a soldier who is cleaner than a face."

"Don't slap the swollen face and pretend to be fat, you will lose the benefits you get."

"This is the last time you can use other people's sympathy to seek benefits for yourself. When you really get to the barracks, no one will take care of you anymore."

Gu Zheng, who felt that the military master on the opposite side was right, answered very well-behavedly. After thanking him sincerely, he ran towards the playground of the military camp where he was put into it.

Sure enough, there were several long poles where the patrol soldiers just now, and a thick canvas was used to support something similar to a modern tent.

Under the canvas, there was a long desk table, a few pages of books, a cup of unsteamed tea cup, and a book crossed her legs and dunked comfortably on her face, looking like a registered clerk.

"May I ask, is the Weihaiwei recruitment office here?"

Seeing this scene, Gu Zheng hesitated a little.

But after he whispered the inquiry, the man with a book on his face shook his ears twice, and then he turned over and straightened his waist from the Eight Immortals chair with a backrest.

"Yes! What? Are you going to apply?"

"Here, have you read the recruitment instructions in front of the table?"

Oh? And this thing?

Gu Zheng looked around and saw no board. He scratched his head and continued to ask, "Didn't you see it? There's nothing."

After hearing the half-grown boy's answer, the clerk finally stood up and looked in front of the table. He was a little embarrassed to laugh, and sat back on the seat, took a few strokes between his legs, and pulled out a square wooden board with big red paper.

"Hehe, I forgot to release it, little brother, I'm sorry, you can take a look first."

After saying that, the little official stopped talking and put the board outside the table, where it should have existed.

This guy was really vague. Gu Zheng shook his head gently and his attention turned to the instructions for enlistment.

There are not many conditions above, only three.

1. Be healthy, know the nature of water, and be innocent.

2. The years of enlistment and the corresponding types of troops.

3. Welfare benefits.

After only two or three eyes, Gu Zheng saw clearly. He raised his head and nodded at the minor official, and replied: "Thank you, I understand."

After saying that, he was about to take out the famous post Wang Baihu gave him from his arms, but his arm that had just been lifted was caught by the clerk opposite him.

"Oh hey! Do you know the words?!"

Ah? Yes, what's wrong with this?

When Gu Zheng realized it, he realized that there were not many ordinary people in the world where the client was located, among them, who were literate.

But Gu Zheng, who was quick to start his brain, immediately returned to his literacy: "My neighbor, brother, studied hard in the academy in the town. When I went home during the break, I always listened to the school."

"That's all, I can recognize a few. The official's notice was written simply, and the calligraphy was concise and clear, so I can understand it."

Although the little official who was praised smiled on his face, his hands did not let go: "You don't know how difficult it is to find someone who can read in this recruitment."

"How old are you? Take out your household registration certificate quickly. I'll find you a place that suits you."

"The logistics supply distribution department of the baggage battalion is short of staff, and the Navigation Chart Testing Squad is also short of staff. Oh my, what should I do?"

Although it is a good thing to be very popular, Gu Zheng, who was opposite, couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Official, can you let go first and I will take out the certificate."

"Oh oh, I'm so anxious. Since you've all been here, can you still run away? Well, let's hand me the relevant certificate first."

"Oh, OK, please see, sir."

Gu Zheng's proof information was handed over to the little official who had a slightly longer face, along with Wang Baihu's famous post.

The originally enthusiastic official's face suddenly collapsed after seeing Wang Baihu's famous letter.

"Ah? You were recommended by the military officer. Oh, it's so vain."

After seeing the famous letter, this little official knew that the source of troops coming from this characteristic was not arbitrarily distributed by his powers according to the old rules in the camp.

Thinking of this, he became weak when he asked and registered.

"Name? Age? The years you discussed with Wang Baihu's enrollment period."
