Chapter 237: Joining the Army
"What do you think?" Jiang Moyan was the first to speak. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Although this 'dispersal of the army' is a coward, once the emperor's order to levy arrives, he will have to send troops no matter how much he coaxes. If the threat of this place is not lifted, Dingzhou City will always be under threat. ”
Jiang Moyan nodded, agreeing very much with Bao Jianfeng's analysis. "In that case, let's make a good fuss. As the saying goes, if you can't get into the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, so didn't Xiao Er say that they were recruiting? Jiang Moyan pointed at everyone and said with a smile: "Such an excellent soldier, presumably they won't refuse!" ”
When several people heard this, they all laughed.
Bao Jianfeng smiled and added: "There are exactly seven of us, so it's better to divide into two teams, three people in each team, and leave one person here to guard, so that we can contact each other." The three of you have more contact with those Northern Underworlds, so go to their cavalry camp to mingle, and let's go to the infantry camp to have a look. What do you think? "Bao Jianfeng is so distributed, or because most of the cavalry battalions in the Northern Ming are formed by enlightenment people, and even if the Han people are recruited, they are all used as miscellaneous servants such as miscellaneous feeding horses.
The gods immediately nodded. It's good to follow these leaders, but their abilities have been difficult to show. Now that they are divided into two teams, they feel a lot more relaxed. Assign good men, and everyone eats. A table of meals was swept away by everyone, and they all quickly bottomed out.
After eating, everyone made a little preparation, and then set off in groups.
Bao Jianfeng took the lead and took Jiang Moyan and Zhao Nianzu to the recruiting point that the shop Xiaoer said. As expected, the recruiting official immediately accepted it happily when he saw the image of these three people, all of them with heroic swords. After several days of not being able to recruit people, and no one came, Shangguan was going to be angry.
After filling in their names and hometowns, the three sworn brothers who assumed the names of Baoda, Jiang Er and Zhao San, went to the infantry battalion in the north of the city.
Jiang Moyan and the others, who had been in the barracks for a long time, were no strangers to the infantry battalion here, and several people were very comfortable entering the camp tent and finding their own position. By this time it was time for dinner, and after they had eaten a tasteless dinner with everyone, they began to talk with a few people in the house.
There were only five people living in this barracks, and there were only eight of them, and there were two empty seats. Jiang Moyan started from the number of people: "This eldest brother is good, junior brother Jiang Er, I don't know the eldest brother's surname?" ”
That person looked like the bearded Zheng Shuang who was sent to Feng Jiutian's side at the beginning, and he was also a big beard, "Oh, you guys are new, my name is Zheng Qi." ”
Yo, my surname is Zheng. "I see that Brother Zheng looks quite similar to a friend of mine, and he is also surnamed Zheng, you won't be a family! Where is Big Brother from? ”
That Zheng Qi was tidying up his clothes, there was no woman in this barracks, so he had to do these things by himself. "I'm from Xinxiang in the north, where are you from?"
"We're from Hengzhou."
"Hengzhou? Isn't it already occupied by the Northern Underworld? Zheng Qi was a little curious, stopped sorting out his clothes, and asked Jiang Moyan seriously.
Bao Jianfeng walked over, holding a packet of sauce meat in his hand. For these soldiers who have been in the barracks for a long time, they can't see a meat star for many days. Bao Jianfeng beckoned a few people in the room who were sitting or lying down to come over and eat meat together. A few people were not polite and readily agreed.
Bao Jianfeng put down his meat and said to Zheng Qi: "Isn't it occupied, so our brothers just left their hometown and came here, but I didn't expect that there would be a war here." Why did you join the army? ”
Zheng Qi pinched a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, swallowed it after only chewing it twice, and said while savoring the aroma of the meat: "It's not that the military service is too heavy!" My family has many brothers, life is hard, my second brother went to serve as a soldier at the beginning, but he never came back and died on the battlefield. A few days later, the conscription arrived again, forcing my family to leave again. My dad couldn't help it, so he put my name on it, so I came here. Zheng Qi became a little sad as he spoke, and he didn't even eat the meat.
The other, apparently his fellow countryman, came over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, as soon as you say this, you are homesick, you say that you are a big man with a full face and beard, and you are homesick like a girl?" Really. ”
Jiang Moyan said: "No wonder Brother Zheng is sad, he has a good life, who wants to live this kind of life of licking blood from the knife edge?" To put it mildly, let's eat meat together today, maybe one day we will be separated by yin and yang. wins, and the official is promoted and rich; Defeated, let's lose our heads. ”
The fellow said, "It's true." Let's just talk about the Dingzhou War a few days ago, I heard that the dead are old. A few of them were lucky enough to run back and let ...... Let that 'Feng Jun San' click, saying that he was afraid that they were Donghuang's spies. If you want me to say, it's really not easy for us to be soldiers. The man spoke quieter and quieter, apparently fearing that his words would cause trouble.
"I heard that the guards of Dingzhou have some ability, how can they be defeated so miserably?"
"It depends on who you compare with, those Donghuang people are all very powerful. Ever heard of it? There is a Marshal Jiang in Donghuang who once injured the emperor with a trick. And this time, it is said that it is the crown prince's personal expedition, who can beat it? Seeing that the other party mentioned his name, Jiang Moyan was still a little strange, could it be that his prestige had already spread here?
Bao Jianfeng said: "Now that the city of Dingzhou is broken, isn't it very dangerous for us here?" Shouldn't we become cannon fodder? ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn. After all, compared to other people's gossip, one's own net worth and life are much more important and serious.
Jiang Moyan looked at everyone's silent expressions, and added another fire, "If you want me to say, we have to be smart." There are no eyes on the battlefield, if we really explain it here, our life will be in vain. Several people nodded in agreement. However, Jiang Moyan and they just came, and it was not good that they immediately instigated too much. Everyone ate and drank and joked again, that is, they went to bed early.
There are no beds here, just a large bunk. Bao Jianfeng left the position against the wall to Jiang Moyan, and he himself blocked her outside. Jiang Moyan glanced at him gratefully, didn't take off his clothes, and went directly into the quilt.
Bao Jianfeng also lay down in his clothes. Looking at Zhao Nianzu next to him, he was already snoring.
The next day, Jiang Moyan and others were assigned to the patrol team and followed everyone to patrol the streets. After walking down this day, I really had back pain. But in addition to being tired, their gains are not small. First of all, I have a general understanding of this Baozhou city: Feng Juncan's governor's mansion is located in the center of the city, and the cavalry battalion and infantry battalion are located in the north of the city, respectively holding the east and west ends. The southern part is mostly a gathering area for ordinary people. The defense of the four city gates seems to be very tight, and it must be that Feng Juncan, who is afraid of death, has sent his best men to guard the city gates.
