Chapter 10 The Lieutenant of Yidu County
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the Yi barracks officially marched to the Jingcheng camp.
The whole battalion of 762 people, without carriages and horses, except for the soldiers with swords, together with Tian Xin, marched with bare hands, and only carried three days of military rations.
Obviously, the Yi barracks were not trusted, they were not allowed to be armed when marching alone, and they were not even equipped with rudimentary equipment such as bamboo guns, and they seemed to be very worried about the Yi soldiers gathering in a crowd to cause chaos.
On the ninth day of the first month of May, the familiar Jingcheng camp.
Tian Xin just sighed when he looked at the 'Hanshou Pavilion Houguan' battle flag fluttering on the gate, and he still didn't jump out of it when he went around, and still returned here.
Yi soldiers from the gate of the fish in, the main book Liaohua, the soldier Cao engaged in Xiahou Ping standing side by side, there are several military doctors standing next to the two, carefully observe the face and complexion of the Yi soldiers, if there is weakness, illness will be picked out and resettled.
Even more terrifying than the war is the plague, which has been pervasive in the past two years, and the epidemic prevention is like a tiger.
The Yi barracks successfully settled in the camp, and Tian Xin and Junzheng Luo Qiong each held a plate of bamboo slips to report to Xiahouping.
This Xiahou Ping has nothing to do with General Xiahou Lan who confronted Cao Jun on the front line, and he has nothing to do with the Xiahou clan of Qian County, he is a child of Pao Ze raised by Guan Yu.
His father, Xiahou Bo, was defeated by Liu Bei in the Battle of Xuzhou, and Xiahou Bo and Guan Yu were captured by Cao Cao and temporarily surrendered. In that special period, serving the Son of Han was serving Cao Cao, which was a confused account and could not be calculated. Xiahou Bo committed suicide when he heard the news of Liu Bei's death, and Xiahou Ping was raised in the army by Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and he always followed.
As Liu Bei completely established himself in the southwest, the children of the old army in the early years, such as Xiahouping, also absconded and returned, and most of them stayed in Jingzhou to serve.
In the hall of the general school, Liao Hua flipped through the bamboo slips of the military book of the Yi Barracks: "Filial piety is good to go, and I thought that filial piety would never return." ”
Tian Xin replied with a wry smile: "Master book, the lower officials also want to fight for fame and then return to Xiangyang, but the situation is changeable, and there is no place for the lower officials." ”
There were only two ways for him to persuade Liao Hua, one was to run around the Jingcheng camp three times, and the other was to tell about the character flaws of Fangling Taishou Kuaiqi, which made Liao Hua value it and recommend it to Meng Da.
Although Kuai Qi is Zhuge Liang's eldest brother-in-law, and Liao Hua is the Xiangyang crown family, they are not the same group of people.
When Liu Biao died and Jingzhou was in turmoil, the Cai and Kuai families simply jumped ship because they had an old relationship with Cao Cao; And Liao Hua was one of the 100,000 people who followed Liu Bei to move south.
Xiangyang's industry and status are thrown away, this is Liu Bei's appeal.
Liao Hua smiled, the format of the military Chinese book was regular, sweeping ten lines at a glance, and seeing that the list of thirty-two military officers who came with him Tian Xin had added labels, only five of them were marked as 'usable', and the remaining military officers marked defects, such as timidity, laziness, and alcoholism.
He rolled up the military book and put it on the other side, so that Xiahou Ping, who was about to reach out to catch it, was stunned, but he didn't care, Liao Hua picked up another volume of military books and studied it.
The Yi barracks are cannon fodder, and they are also soldiers, and they are well paid. Therefore, the amount of monthly military expenditure is also huge, anyway, it is much higher than Tian Xin's Yulu.
When it comes to corruption, civil affairs and engineering, there is not much greed in reality; Military spending is the bulk of these years, and what we are paying close attention to is also the audit and implementation of military spending.
Tian Xin's military expenditure account table is also a board and a glance, anyway, there are no horses in the Yi barracks, only the soldiers' rations are calculated, and the rations and meat and vegetable money subsidies of the military officials are okay.
Liao Huajian saw that the figures were in line with expectations, but Tian Xin made a list of materials in it and needed to be supplemented. He handed it to Xiahouping to read, picked up another volume and flipped through it, and said: "Xiaoxian needs 300 horses of coarse silk and 2,000 catties of twine, why is this?" ”
"The main book, the lower official saw that the soldiers were good at running, and wanted to dye the grass juice with 300 horses of coarse silk to make military uniforms. In this way, when the army is running and lurking in the mountains and forests, the enemy is difficult to detect. Two thousand catties of twine are intended to weave fishing nets and lassoes, which are conducive to fighting in battle formations. ”
Liao Hua nodded, and asked again: "Then what's the use of mung beans?" There are no cattle and horses in the barracks, is it really necessary to eat mung beans? ”
"Yes, mung bean stew is a good way to relieve the heat. Reduce the half-made corn to equal weight, or equivalent mung beans. ”
After Tian Xin finished speaking, he saw Liao Hua looking directly at himself, and asked carefully: "Tian Xiaoxian, can mung beans really relieve the heat?" ”
"In the hot summer, the master can understand its medicinal properties by eating mung beans."
Tian Xin's tone did not fluctuate as usual, mung beans to cool off is his common sense, but for many scholars, it is a secret method and heritage that is enough to pass on the family.
Liao Hua stretched out his hand to take a brush, rolled up his sleeves and wrote the words 'mung bean to cool off' on a bamboo slip, and asked: "Xiaoxian is a weak champion after all, and he has no experience in battle." I am afraid that the unified Yi military camp is negligent, I don't know if Xiao first wants to wait for the prince to try, or wants to find another position? ”
It seemed that he was worried that Tian Xin refused to fight for the opportunity to lead the troops on the spot, Liao Hua said again: "The matter is serious, filial piety has been separated from relatives for more than two months, why don't you take a break for three days and think carefully, and then report to the official." ”
"The main book, Tian Mouning is a centurion, not a scholar."
Tian Xin's tone of reply was still calm, no matter how many shortcomings the Yi military camp has, this is also an independent formation battalion, and the tactical tasks it often undertakes are also different from those of the Han army in Jingzhou. Therefore, after the battle feats, it is relatively dazzling.
His words caused Luo Qiong to look sideways, and Xiahou Ping's gaze at him softened a lot.
"Well, in this case, Xiaoxian can return to the mountain in front of Micheng with his official warrant to see his relatives, and return to the camp before noon on the thirteenth. On the fifteenth day of this month, the prince will review the camp, and at that time, whether he will be a centurion or a camp governor, will be reviewed on that day. ”
Liao Hua took out a bamboo slip that had already been prepared, Tian Xin got up and took it, and simply walked out of the meeting hall.
Before passing Guan Yu's assessment, his position was temporary and very short-lived, so naturally there was no need to agree on his own salary.
However, the rank ratio of the tun chief is 200 stones, and the monthly salary is 27 stones, which is enough to alleviate the hunger in the clan.
The rank ratio of the commander of the military marquis of the Yi barracks is 600 stones, and the monthly salary is 50 stones; The battalion superintendent is a new military system established by Ji Han, and according to the literal meaning, there is no independent command, and the authority is far less than that of the captain and the Sima of other departments, and it is not as good as the Sima who presides over the daily work of the first battalion.
Therefore, the rank of the battalion governor is 600 stones, and the monthly salary is 70 stones.
Above the battalion superintendent, there are Sima and other Sima officials with a rank of 1,000 stones, and the general Sima and the department governor have a rank of 1,000 stones; The rank ratio of the lieutenant is 2,000 stones, and the rank of the lieutenant general is 2,000 stones.
If you are promoted to the rank of captain, you will be able to keep a certain number of troops, and you will be able to raise more if you will be able to operate, and you will not be financially weak, so you will be able to raise less.
After packing his bags and carrying the silk quilt prepared for his little sister, Tian Xin carried a gourd of clear water and walked to the gate.
When the guards didn't want to check out the camp order, an elegant middle-aged man wearing a crimson official uniform and a crown of bird feathers on his head bowed his hand to Tian Xin: "Can you smell the chicken dancing under your feet Tian Xiaoxian?" ”
"It's Tian, who is Mr.?"
"Oh, my man Changsha Fan You, the official Yidu County Lieutenant, the commander of a battalion of soldiers obeyed the command of General Dangkou."
Fan Youren is nearly middle-aged, and he is a little lacking in confidence when he speaks: "I heard that the military officials in the camp said that the Tianying Governor was good at soothing the soldiers, and our people happened to be General Zuo's order to march and will go to Hanzhong." And General Dangkou wants to leave two battalions of Yi soldiers to serve together, and now the camp is complaining, and wants to ask the Governor of Tian Camp to sit in charge of us for a while. ”
As he spoke, he was holding a heavy bag in both hands, and when he looked at the ribbon, he knew that it was a silver seal that only two thousand stone county lieutenants had.
Tian Xin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, where is this official seal, it is clearly a poisonous bait.
Guan Yu extended another battalion of soldiers who should have changed guards and should have gone home, Liu Bei summoned you again, you may be promoted, just simply push the official seal and responsibility to me?
