The barracks are stationed in different locations depending on the type of troops.

An army is divided into small armies, middle armies and upper armies according to the number of people.

After the Beiting crossed to the south, the strength of the Great Song Dynasty has always been very small, and a series of policies such as the dismissal of the three major generals, followed by the Shaoxing Peace Conference, etc., the soldiers and horses of the Southern Song Dynasty were suddenly reduced by a large margin.

When the army goes out, it is generally divided into five armies, front and back, left and right.

The front army is the vanguard of the army, the left, the center and the right are the main forces, of which the central army under the direct jurisdiction of the commander is the elite of the elite, as for the rear army, most of them are baggage troops, but they also serve as the cover and guard of the rear road of the army.

For example, a troop of 10,000 or 20,000 (including non-combatants such as cooks and grooms) generally only has three armies: the front, the middle, and the rear, and the 50,000 or 60,000 is the normal five-service system.

If it reaches about 100,000, it belongs to the upper army, in addition to the normal five-army system, the commander of the first army will set up different "military names", such as the Yuejia army's Shengjie army, the enemy army, the water army and the Beiwei army, etc., a total of twelve numbers.

More people means that it is difficult to manage, but fortunately, the commander is not a fool, and each army has two generals who are responsible for management, and they are assisted by commanders, deputy commanders, commanders, and even various generals.

But after all, the general is small, and he has to be busy with military affairs, where can he have time to manage the affairs of the battalion? Then there were petty officers such as battalion colonels, and in order to deal with the problem of sergeants running around the camp, they formulated a "military card grading system".

The soldier sign, a finger-thick semicircular bamboo tube, with the name of the military and the battalion number written inside, and a red line drawn outside.

Men and ordinary soldiers wear white cards, and they are not allowed to leave their camp unless they are ordered or on military business, (500 men in a battalion), which means that you can only wander around the barracks in this camp.

What if you want to get out of the camp? It's very simple to be an officer or have an errand, so that you have a thick red line on your badge, called "first-class card", which allows you to wander around the battalions in your army.

If you are from the rear army, why don't you want to go to the front army? It's very simple, you can draw two lines on the military card, and if you can get three lines, you can freely enter and exit the military marshal's account, and if you can get the three-level card, at least a middle-level official.

Someone asked, how many bars are there between the marshal and the generals? The first lesson in the army, in addition to learning military law and camp rules, also learn to "recognize face", in addition to the senior officers in their own army, there are other generals in the army, this is done to avoid recognizing the wrong person in the war, running into the ranks of others.

The dog was forcibly installed by Wu Dashuai, who loved talents, and set up a small trough officer in charge of grain and grass in the rear army, and it was naturally a line to get the identity brand, so when the pro-soldiers who sent him over, as soon as they entered the rear army camp, they left people on the road, and said "Let's go by yourself" and ran back to the tent.

The rear army is the army with the largest number of people, although there are many people, but because there are not many soldiers, the status can only be ranked last.

Auxiliaries, Zizhong soldiers, miscellaneous soldiers, cooks, medical officers, and civilians all bear the names of the rear army, but in reality, these people will be sent away by the various armies.

For example, the former army general said, "Order the rear army, and transfer five battalions of civilians to dig pits and build bridges!" ”

The herald would run to the officer or the clerk in charge, and as soon as the order was handed over, he would lead the people to run over to work, and then come back when the work was done.

Some of the work that cannot be returned after they are done, such as the miscellaneous soldiers and cooks, will be left behind permanently.

The rear army is very large, and there are many barracks, and I heard from the soldiers that the people of Longzhou live in the fifth and sixth camps of Geng, and the dogs don't know the way, so they have to inquire all the way.

I asked a lot of people, but they only knew that it was the southeast direction, and there was no way for the dogs to run around in the barracks.

When the sixth encounter with the same patrol soldiers, the dog gave up the struggle.

"A few brothers, where is the sixth battalion of Minfu Geng?"

After the leading sergeant checked the dog's sign for the sixth time, he arched his hand and said, "Follow us, you will pass by the Gengliu Battalion in a while!" ”

The dog thanked them, and trotted behind them, no way, this group of men, long legs and fast steps, did not run two steps and was left behind.

In the sixth camp of Geng, a group of people in Tangjia Village squatted together, pulling their hair one by one and sighing.

"Grandma's legs, if you really can't do it, I'll go to the military law camp and inquire!" A man in Tangjia Village couldn't bear this oppressive atmosphere, so he stood up and turned around and shouted at everyone.

"Uncle Ma can't" Tang Xiaoqi stopped: "It's not better than the county government, there are more rules, it's easier to have an accident if you run to inquire recklessly, just now the general asked me and Xiao Er to follow him out tomorrow to get rice and grain, and I'll inquire when the time comes!" ”

"Yes, yes, don't be impulsive, the little dog didn't make any big mistakes, at most a few days at most, I saw him and those big officials walking very hot, let's go back to them and let people out!"

The man named Tang Ma heard this, so he had to squat down.

Tang Donggua, who buttoned the soles of his shoes on the side, sighed and said: "We small people, where do we have the face to find someone, we will definitely be kicked out!" ”

"Don't be afraid!" Tang Xiaoer snorted and said: "The officials are greedy for money, let's all pool some money and give it to him, it should be no problem to inquire about individuals!" ”

"Yes!" Tang Xiaoqi nodded and said: "Officials are greedy, as long as they take the money and go over, they will definitely help!" ”

"How much does that cost?" The crowd asked.

"At least the money should be consistent!" Donald and the three old gods are in the way.

"So much money to inquire?" A man in his twenties from Tangjia Village was surprised.

Tang Laosan pointed at him and scolded: "Nonsense, last time you were arrested for fighting with someone in the county town, I went to the yamen to inquire about the news, and the officials at the gate asked me for two dollars of silver, but now I ask the officials in the barracks, and it must be consistent money!" ”

"Alright! Let's have as many as you want! I have twenty dollars here, by the way, can we just pay for it? Are those people out there still out? Tang Donggua turned his head and asked Tang Xiaoqidao.

Tang Xiaoqi turned his head to look outside, frowned, and said, "I'll ask, I guess there's no hope!" ”

After saying that, he got up and walked out, and went to a barracks next door, where the group of small traders lived, and these people were lying on the bed complaining, and when they saw Tang Xiaoqi coming in, they quickly stood up and arched their hands: "Seventh Master, is there something wrong?" ”

Hawkers, often do some lack of morality, so Tang Xiaoqi didn't expect to raise money, seeing them return the gift, he gave his hand perfunctorily and said: "We discussed to save the puppy, and planned to raise some money to find out the news, do you want to come out, don't you speak quickly, grandpa is still waiting to go to the next barracks!" ”

A house of vendors, you look at me, I look at you, one of the older hawkers said loudly: "The dog is not thin on us along the way, so it is naturally out, but the money on us has already been spent, and there are only five dollars left, you can see if it works!" ”

Tang Xiaoqi was stunned, it was not easy for these guys, who usually love to be calculating, to be willing to pay for it.

"Okay, take the money and go to the next room to find Tang Xiaoer to register his name, and I'll go to the next room!"

In the next room, there was a group of flower arms, who were gathering on the bed to brag and chat, and when they saw Tang Xiaoqi coming in, they hugged their fists and said, "Is there something wrong with the seventh master?" ”

Tang Xiaoqi waved his hand and said: "We are discussing raising some money to find out the news of the dog, if any of you have the heart, go to my barracks to find Tang Xiaoer to register, not limited to three or five words!" ”

Hua Arm said that it was no problem, and a group of people walked out noisily.

Tang Xiaoqi entered the next barracks again, and it was still a flower arm to live here.

The flower arms are broken down as idlers in the market, and they pay the most attention to righteousness and face, if we don't pay it, then you don't deserve the name of "hero", and everyone won't play with you.

The last barracks was occupied by the chaotic prisoners held in the prison, and Long Yangnan also lived here.

I heard that I wanted to donate money to save the dog, so I nodded in agreement one by one, but I really didn't have any money in my pocket, and I didn't want to be pointed at by others, so I said, "I still have a pair of linen shoes here, can I donate them?" "I won't eat today's dry food, I'll donate it!" There is also a saying: "I'll wash your clothes for two days, can you take a look?" ”

Hearing the messy words, Tang Xiaoqi was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "If you really don't have any money, forget it, just have this thought!" ”

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the Long Yang man next to him spoke: "Seventh Master, I still have a hundred and ten dollars here, which was rewarded by the dog when he killed pigs in Qingshui Village, you can use it!" ”

Tang Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, and looked at him for a long time and praised: "Dead Longyang, I didn't expect you to do things quite magnificently, I really underestimated you before!" You can go to my barracks and register! ”

Longyang was overjoyed, and he was not allowed to enter the barracks of Tangjia Village before.

"Thank you, Seventh Master!"

Tang Xiaoqi bowed his hand, said it was okay, turned around and walked out.

Geng's fifth battalion was next door, Tang Xiaoqi just said that he wanted to go over, and saw a team of patrolling soldiers striding over from a distance, so he copied his hands and squatted on the ground to pretend to rest.

Just as he was humming a little song and turning his head, he heard a familiar voice in his ears, and quickly turned his head to look, sure enough, it was a dog, and he didn't pretend anymore, and greeted him with a smile on his face.

The dog first gave up the patrol soldiers and saw them off, and then walked towards Tang Xiaoqi with his hands behind his back.

"Dog, dog, did they let you out? Can you eat and fight? Tang Xiaoqi put his arms around the dog's shoulders and asked the dog with a concerned face

Coughing, the dog said: "They dare, grandpa is now a celebrity in front of Wu Dashuai, and he doesn't dare to lend them ten dares!" ”

"It's amazing!" Tang Xiaoqi praised perfunctorily, and then complained: "Since you are back, don't be reckless in the future to help those black-hearted servants, they always cheat you!" ”

It's okay not to mention this stubble, but when you mention it, the dog will itch her teeth, grandma has a leg, dare to fool the master, and when you look back and find an opportunity, you have to carefully rectify them.

Nodding his head, he replied to Tang Xiaoqi: "I know Brother Seven, by the way, I heard them say that you became the camp master?" ”

Tang Xiaoqi laughed and said: "It's just a fake camp master, and it will naturally be handed over after the errand is done!" ”

The two chatted while walking, and when they saw it, they shouted "The dog is here!" A large crowd of people ran out of the barracks in an instant, and they all bowed their hands to greet the dogs.

The dog waved his hand proudly and said, "It's okay, they invited the master to come over for a drink, and after eating, let me come back!" In this camp in the future, the master will continue to cover you! ”

"Thank you, Dog!"

The dog laughed, "By the way, what are you doing here?" ”

"We're planning to scrape together the money to get you in prison!"

The dog was stunned for a moment, walked into the crowd, took the list of donors handed over by Tang Xiaoer, looked up and down and said movingly: "Master, I will invite you to eat meat tomorrow!" ”
