Chapter 620
"This conscription is written too small; if you don't pay attention, you really can't see it."
"This Great Qin Daily office is really something; can't they write the characters bigger?"
"Forget it, this newspaper is full on all four sides; if they write bigger, we won't be able to read 'Journey to the West'."
"That's right, 'Journey to the West' is my favorite serialized novel; I'm following every edition of the daily!"
"Don't talk nonsense; what is the content of the conscription above? Say it quickly."
"If I weren't illiterate, I would have read it myself."
Someone wanted to know the content of the conscription.
Those who were literate also read it one after another.
"Great Qin conscription, please Great Qin citizens participate enthusiastically."
"The Xiongnu are bullying people too much, killing our Great Qin citizens; because of insufficient cavalry, we cannot launch a roundup and slaughter of the Xiongnu."
"Now Great Qin is officially conscripting soldiers, protecting the country, killing the enemy to earn military merit, and being promoted and ennobled is not a dream!"
"Great Qin comprehensive conscription, those who meet the conditions can participate on their own."
Below were also written age, height, and various requirements.
This conscription was large in scale, and all those who met the conditions could join the army.
"This conscription will not be too many; it will stop when full,"
"Respond to the empire's call and sign up for the army enthusiastically!"
"Fully display the true colors of men; dedicate to national defense and forge a steel Great Wall."
"Men have the ambition to go to the frontier, youth has no regrets dedicating to the military camp!"
Xianyang city was made to boil again by this conscription information.
Nationwide comprehensive conscription.
Many people were puzzled.
Just fighting the Xiongnu.
In their hearts, the Xiongnu were just some small tribes.
Does fighting small tribes require nationwide conscription?
Great Qin's current military force should be in the millions, right?
Many people had doubts in their hearts, not knowing what to do with large-scale conscription.
But this did not affect their enthusiasm for conscription in the slightest.
They knew that the opportunity to change their destiny had arrived.
Earning military merit to be promoted and ennobled was the dream of many people.
Before, there was no conscription, so they had no opportunity.
In the past, Great Qin forced people to join the army when they reached a certain age.
In a family, if there were many children, several had to go; if there were few, one had to go.
Those with only one child would not be forced to join the army.
After all, the elderly in the family needed someone to look after them.
But since the destruction of the six states, there had been no forced military service.
Now that there was an opportunity, how could they not cherish it well?
After all, the fastest way to change a person in Great Qin was to join the army.
Even if it was a commoner, as long as they joined the army, various salaries didn't need to be mentioned.
Mainly, they could be promoted and ennobled, and could leap from a commoner to a military officer.
This was something many people looked forward to; this was a shortcut that could change a person's life.
However, risk and opportunity coexist; going to the battlefield to kill the enemy also carries life-threatening dangers.
"I also want to join the army, but my old father at home needs care; it's a pity."
"I'm going to join the army; from now on, I won't be a hooligan; I want to be a great general!"
"The moment I return is also the moment I reach the peak of my life!"
"Hahaha, I'm going too, not for anything else, just to kill the Xiongnu."
"I don't have such great ambitions; I just want to change my identity; being promoted and ennobled is my dream."
"This is an opportunity to change identity, an opportunity for a commoner to become a military officer."
"Men have ambitions in all directions; going to the battlefield to kill the enemy is the final destination; I'm going!"
The crowd discussed, and many people wanted to join the army; this was an opportunity to change their lives.
But some people didn't want to go, and some couldn't go because of various things.
Some needed to take care of elderly family members, and some had no ambitions and were afraid of dying on the battlefield.
There were all kinds of people.
Many people saw the location written on the newspaper.
Places to sign up near Xianyang city included:
Yongcheng Camp, Lantian Camp, and Xianyang Camp.
All three camps could sign up to participate.
As for cities further away, it would depend on the situation.
This news was circulating in Xianyang city.
Whether it was wine shops, tea houses, or markets.
All places in Xianyang city were discussing this matter intensely.
Cities around Xianyang city were also occupied by this news.
As for places further away, as time passed, this news would soon blow across the entire Great Qin.
This heat continued to rise and did not fall.
Even the court officials were shocked when they received this news.
The first reaction of the court officials when they received this news was disbelief.
After all, they had not received the news at the Qilin Hall.
This matter had not been announced.
And now it was directly published in the Great Qin Daily.
It could be seen how terrifying the influence of the Great Qin Daily office was in Great Qin.
The edict of His Majesty the First Emperor bypassed them and was directly published in the newspaper.
Comprehensive conscription?
What was this trying to do?
Fighting the small Xiongnu shouldn't require this.
Perhaps there were even bigger things, it wasn't certain.
These thoughts were only something they, as officials standing slightly higher, would think of.
As for those commoners, they wouldn't think about these things.
Many officials gathered together the first time they received the news.
They wanted to see the Emperor and see what was happening.
Why was there suddenly comprehensive conscription? ===== CHAPTER 622 =====
