Chapter 66 Local Government Soldiers

a day ago. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the tenth day of the ninth month, Ding Youyue is not the second day. The day is worth death, and the big thing is not used.

Twenty miles west of Stone Town in the mountains.

Lu Xiangwu, the deputy commander of the Sea Cliff Mansion with a handsome face, looked at the target of this crusade with a military telescope.

What caught my eye was a small gathering place, with about 200 middle-aged men inside. Their gathering place must have been newly built, with rudimentary protective fences on all sides, made of wood and leather plundered from the villages and caravans around Stone Town, and some cattle and sheep in them.

As for the weapons and equipment of those strong men and bandits, they were miscellaneous, hoes, wooden sticks, shovels, rusty knives, and blunt swords...... It's miserable, as for their cultivation, Lu Xiangwu judged according to his own Tianwu vision: most of them are martial apprentices, and a few are martial artists.

The spiritual energy of the Xuanyan Realm is extremely abundant, and the people of Yunlu do not need to cultivate, as long as they are physically fit, they can reach the level of a martial apprentice; if they practice the lower breathing method, they can reach the level of a martial artist in a few years; if they persist within ten years, there is generally no problem with the level of spiritual martial arts. If there is a martial arts hall master to guide and meat to replenish the body, the Xuanwu level is also very promising.

This kind of speed is placed in the Rain Covering and Tang Shuanglong planes, it is already the level of a peerless genius, but it is an ordinary qualification in the Xuanyan Realm, if it is not for the extremely low cost performance caused by the suppression of heaven and earth, it can be regarded as a cultivation paradise in the Xuanyan Realm.

However, for Lu Xiangwu, the Heavenly Martial Monarch, there is not much difference between the two hundred strong men in front of him and the five combat strengths. If this group of bandits were not armed with tattered weapons, and there were also stolen goods such as cattle and sheep in the camp, he would have suspected that this group of people was a savage who escaped from a ravine! The peasants of Yunlu were all at the level of martial artists, and the hunters were basically at the level of spiritual martial arts. It's also strange that this group of people are so weak that they dare to be bandits and rob. He even began to wonder if this large-scale attack was inappropriate, nearly 500 government soldiers came to destroy these wild people, and it would not be regarded as a good merit by the county governor's mansion, right?

"Hmm...... Since the enemy is weak, this operation will be dominated by prisoners! When the time comes, we can ask them where they came from, and perhaps we can find out the ......."

Lu Xiangwu is now twenty-six years old, unlike the city lord who is nearly sixty years old and is no longer self-motivated, he has both cultivation and family background, and he is more ambitious!

His family is now the head of the family of Wujun County, inherited from the famous Confucian generals of the Three Kingdoms period of the Han Dynasty, and is famous all over the world.

It's a pity that no matter how prominent it is, it can't withstand the long years and the branches, and no matter how much Yu Ze is, it can't withstand the sharing of the profits of the descendants of many branches. Therefore, in addition to a few sources close to the sect's family, there are also many people who have broken down the side branch and distant sects, and even most of them have long been excommunicated.

Fortunately, Lu Xiangwu, a distant sect, produced a Wendao Grandmaster nicknamed "Wen Zhong" during the Fifth Demon Tribulation more than 400 years ago, and even intersected with a Wen Sheng, and since then he has entered the mainstream of the Lu clan. Although he was not taken seriously in his early years, he relied on his talented younger brother seven years ago to re-enter the vision of those high-ranking and powerful clan relatives, and became one of the signs of support in the side branch family, and began to get on the right track in the difficult career path.

The plaque of the lonely loyalty of the sea country represents the past glory of this side branch, and the earnest teachings of the elders in the family are still in the ears.

"Keep your duty and do things with your heart. ”

"Your boss and helper have their own family, but your colleagues and subordinates depend on your own ability. ”

"Thinking of a foreign land, or a change of place, you really value your own family, and your family is not a clan ......"

"Your younger brother is very talented, and he is treated by the clan family, and he will definitely be able to be named on the gold list in the future, with the support and operation of the family, and he may become a local magistrate in more than ten years......"

"The world changed greatly half a year ago, and according to the judgment of the Zong family, the world will be in chaos in five years...... But that man fought to the death, and maybe he could delay it for ten years...... The family has done its best to deal with it, and you have to work hard to forge ahead. ”

"This man is your beginning, and you have to make a living...... In the future, the family may have to rely on you and your brother to survive the chaos. ”

There are so many famous families in the history of Yunlu, but under the catastrophe and turmoil again and again, most of them have collapsed and scattered, and the glory is gone.

The family lord looks infinitely beautiful, but when the troubled times come, these seemingly powerful existences cannot be left alone, and the wealthy families with a large number of population, wealth and material reserves are not strong enough, it is easy to become the object of coveting and plotting by any new force, and the slightest carelessness will be a catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangwen clenched his fists, Qiongya County can be said to be a poor place with bad mountains and bad waters, but Diao Min's resources are very scarce, and he has not been able to get much military merit in the past six years!

This time, persuading the boss and asking the county governor's office to quickly approve him to lead the army alone has consumed the network resources accumulated for a long time, and this battle must not be lost!

"A rabble of ......"

Lu Xiangwu's expression was firm, looking at the gathering place of the bandits from afar, he already had some calculations in his heart, and began to return to the makeshift military tent and arrange the action according to the government soldiers' drills.

Soon, sentry guards began to look out on the top of the hill with a wide field of view, and crossbows and arrows were ready to be laid on the slopes and commanding heights in front of them. The main force of the infantry army is organized into a frontal battle camp under the command, the mobile team is used as a flank mobile force, the spirit armor equipment team is used as a reserve force to prepare for accidents, and the rest are classified as auxiliary armies.

At noon, when the bandits eat en masse, the raid was carried out. This will not only leave nothing behind, but also most effectively weaken their combat power.

Around noon.

Faced with the military order to go to war, some government soldiers were a little nervous and excited.

One of them is Zhang Hu, who hails from the poorest town of Stone Knife in Haiya Province, where the steep slopes of the hill are nicknamed "a knife" by the locals, and the whole town is built on the steep back of the knife. Although there is abundant rain every year, arable land is scarce, and we can only barely survive by hunting and grazing.

Therefore, the best way out for these mountain people is to go out in groups with the help of their fellow villagers.

During the compulsory education of Mengxue during the reform of Emperor Wudi, he, a mountain man, was finally able to name himself Zhang Hu, instead of being called Zhang Wu by age. Although Mengxue has only been in school for three years, it has already exposed him to a new world. Perhaps since then, the seeds of longing and hope have been planted in the hearts of their generation, so once they reach adulthood, they are more determined and courageous than those elders to go out of the mountains.

After going out of the mountains, compared with low-income occupations such as coolies and miscellaneous labor, joining the local army and signing a name as a soldier is the best choice. The treatment as a local government soldier is enough to make the whole family live a better life.

Zhang Hu and the six people with the best physique among his peers are enough to meet the minimum standards for the selection of Shangfu soldiers. Poor background, simple-minded, hard-working, is simply the favorite of the selection officer, so without exception passed the assessment, the most outstanding of them was even sent to serve in the border army, because he is relatively thin, neither suitable to control the war beast to become a cavalry, nor convenient to shoot to become an archer, pick up the sword and shield is not accidentally satisfactory, sent to the long army is not strong enough, so he was assigned to make a logistics soldier.

Fortunately, he worked hard enough in the army for five years, and the foundation of Mengxue laid when he was a child did not make him illiterate, and the exercise booklet issued by the army could be practiced to his heart's content, and finally reached the Xuanwu level that can stimulate the soldier-level and non-commissioned officer combat body a year ago, so he was successfully promoted to a non-commissioned officer by the school officer and became a captain of the long corps.

The annual salary has also been promoted from the soldier's three times to the ten times of the non-commissioned officer's big money, if you count the various benefits provided by the imperial court, his family of seven is officially at the level of well-off, which is really the envy of the townspeople.

However, he is still not the best among the young generation who are out and about in Stoneknife Town. Brother Fang, who was elected to the border army, has built five large tiled houses for his family, and he has also accumulated military merits to become a lieutenant of the border army. It is said that there are not only six clothes in rotation during the two festivals a year, but also various material subsidies for cotton, linen, firewood and charcoal in the cold and summer, and the annual festivals are routinely given, and the clothing, food, and food utensils are taken out of the public house, and the treatment is a little stronger than that of the captains and captains of the inland government soldiers, perhaps higher than the battalions and schools.

Brother Fang took turns off during the Spring Festival this year, and the foreign customs that people said when they returned to the town made them envious of several government soldiers, and Zhang Hu's heart was hot when he thought about it.

Even if it is an ordinary soldier of the border army, he can get a salary of ten yuan a month, and if he is a chief, he can also get an extra ten yuan, which is a more lucrative income than now. In addition, there are all kinds of seizures that are frequently levied and oil and water looted from foreign races, and in the end, I am afraid that the final ones will be several times the salary! Not to mention the foreign beauties who can vent wantonly after attacking the city and plundering the land, I heard that they are not only tall but also have their own characteristics, which is simply a man's paradise.

He was still looking forward to it, when he heard the captain's order to attack, he hurriedly commanded the team to cooperate with the array to advance with his excitement.

"Damn! He retired after this crackdown on the bandits, and the day before yesterday he told the lord of the mansion that he wanted to go back to his hometown to get married, and the lord of the mansion approved it! Next year, a certain family will join Brother Fang to become a border army, and all the soldiers in his squad will be kept for my brother! Everyone is a fellow brother and drinks, eats meat, and plays with Yanmar!"
