Chapter 9: Soldiering

With such a rich experience, why should you let me tell you?

When the young man who recruited the army asked Zhang Wei about his basic personal situation, he was stumped at that time.

What kind of character Zhang Wei is, that is also a person who has been baptized by storms, what kind of lie has not been told, what kind of cow has not been blown, this little thing is difficult to help the famous "senior high school" student Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei scratched his head, thought for a while, and said with a sad expression: "I was originally from Chang'an, my family lived in Anrenfang, and I was given by my parents to Zhang Lihu in Qinling Mountain as an adopted son when I was very young. Since the beginning of this year, my adoptive father and adoptive mother have passed away one after another, and I have no choice but to beg for a living. ”

Oh--, what a concise resume.

After listening to Zhang Wei's words, the soldier in charge of registration took the opportunity to write the words "both parents died, begging since childhood" on his resume.

In eight words, Zhang Wei's life in the first 20 years is summarized at one time, simple and clear, and it is not muddy at all.

In this way, the young Zhang Wei came to the army and embarked on the military career of Datang.

"Hey--, I carried it home today, and I recruited such a person for a whole day, to take the beggar who was recruited to take a bath, and by the way, to change into a dress." The officer in charge of recruitment said to his subordinates when he returned to the barracks.

"No--"

After taking a bath, eating, and changing clothes, Zhang Wei was taken to the officer's tent.

"Zhang Wei has seen the general." After seeing the recruited officers, Zhang Wei bowed his hand.

People always have to accept their fate, since they have come to the Tang Dynasty, they must act in accordance with the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and they must surrender their hands when they see their superiors, greet their colleagues when they see them, and show their majesty when they see their subordinates.

Of course, at this time, Zhang Wei is the lowest level among the subordinates, the lowest level among the bottom, as long as the first two things are done well, as for whether he can play prestige, it will be a matter of the future.

"Well--, are you still quite energetic after changing your clothes?" Looking at the officer Zhang Wei after the change, he said with satisfaction.

Of course, Zhang Wei was in good spirits.

In the real society, Zhang Wei is also a popular figure in the school, tall, handsome, humorous and casual with lies, so many "advantages", I don't know how many ignorant boys and girls have been fascinated.

Although after coming to Datang society, he became a wandering beggar without giving up, and after a lot of life tempering, his appearance has remained the same, he is still so tall, handsome is still so handsome, and he has not become ugly and ugly because of the hard life.

Fortunately, he has not been wandering and begging for a long time, and if he has been engaged in wandering and begging for decades, his personal image may change. But that's an afterthought, Zhang Wei is still quite handsome at the moment.

Hearing the officer's praise, Zhang Wei's mood suddenly rose, he had been in Datang for so long, and it was the first time someone praised him, so he hurriedly said: "Zhang Wei can have today thanks to the general's cultivation, in the future, Zhang Wei will only look forward to the general's horse, saddle before and after the horse, and serve the general." ”

Oh, boy, you can talk!

Listening to Zhang Wei's words, the general's heart couldn't help but itch, "Young man, you are not only energetic, but also very good at talking, I like it." ”

Then the general asked Zhang Wei: "I think you can speak well, have you read a book before?" ”

"Back to the general's words, Zhang Wei went to private school for a few days when he was a child, but he was not good at reading and did not achieve any fame."

"Well--, we don't want any fame from being a soldier, just like I don't know a lot of words, and I don't still be a general of Zuo Xiaowei, a third-grade member of the Eight Classics." The general said to Zhang Wei in a flash.

General Zuo Xiaowei?

Zhang Wei was very puzzled when he heard this.

When recruiting troops in the morning, didn't the general say that in order to resist Kumoxi's attack, he would gather soldiers and horses for the border pass, how could he become soldiers and horses under General Zuo Xiaowei when he arrived at the camp.

Zhang Wei likes history very much, and he knows very well that this Zuo Xiaowei is the most important force in the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty, and it belongs to an important armed force to defend the imperial city.

Could it be that the emperor and his old man are also recruiting troops for themselves in the name of recruitment.

Zhang Wei is a smart person, although he knows what is going on in his heart, he does not say it.

The emperor's soldiers and horses are good! Closer to the Imperial Power will allow for more opportunities for advancement.

"The general has worked hard and made great achievements, and it is also a matter of deserving of the people." Zhang Wei took the opportunity to say.

"Gee, you kid just talk, I like it. I think in this way, you don't have to go down, just follow me as a personal soldier, and there are many opportunities for promotion in the future. The general said happily to Zhang Wei.

Pro-soldiers?

So I don't have to go down to the grassroots level and stay in the agency directly?

Zhang Wei was very surprised!

Accidents alike, it's always better to be a soldier next to a general than to be in a camp.

That night, Zhang Wei, who had changed into a big ** uniform, stood guard for the general with two personal soldiers.

From the mouths of other soldiers, Zhang Wei knew that the name of this general Zuo Xiaowei was Wang Fengdong, and he was the brother of the Wang family, the princess of Yun.

Oh--, no wonder he can be the general of Zuo Xiaowei, it turns out that people are also related.

There are people in the court who are good officials, and there are people who eat dry noodles in the stove.

This principle has been used from ancient times to the present day, and it is durable and enduring. Then again, whose relationship is Wang Fengdong, the housekeeper? As long as people are good to themselves.

The days of being a soldier were short and long, and the days of peace were day after day.

In addition to standing guard, Zhang Wei also had to practice like all soldiers.

Datang's drills are almost the same as today's live drills, except for the different weapons in their hands, everyone has to carry out the necessary subjects on the battlefield, such as queue drills, weapon use, and archery and horse archery.

After all, he went to the army in desperation, and Zhang Wei worked very hard in the process of training, can he do it if he doesn't work hard?

As long as you are a soldier, who can guarantee that you will not deal with knives and guns? As long as you are dealing with knives and guns, who can guarantee that your head will not be taken by the enemy?

In order to prevent his head from being easily taken by the enemy, Zhang Wei of course had to do a good job of training, and after a few months, Zhang Wei was not only proficient in swordsmanship, but also very good at shooting with bows and arrows, especially shooting on horseback.

"Zhang Wei, you kid is good! Ben will be right, you are a good seedling worth cultivating. After a day of training, Zuo Xiaowei General Wang Fengdong said to Zhang Wei.

After a few months, Zhang Wei became familiar with the general, and he dared to say what he should say, so he asked: "General, Zhang Wei has something unclear and wants to ask the general." ”

"You say." Wang Fengdong said briskly.

"Our team is Zuo Xiaowei, which belongs to the army that defends the imperial city, but the current Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and Chang'an City is even more calm, and there is not much going on, why don't you transfer these teams to fight with Ku Moxi?"

What a sensitive question!

In fact, since he entered Zuo Xiaowei, Zhang Wei has always wanted to know about this matter, but he has never been embarrassed to ask, and now he is finally familiar with General Wang, so he has expressed the doubts in his heart.

"Hahaha, hahaha, you kid wants to know?" Wang Fengdong said with a smile.

"Of course I want to know, after all, we are the emperor's personal soldiers, of course we need to know our mission."

"Well, I'll tell you the truth, this Chang'an City is calm on the surface, but in fact it's not as simple as you think, the undercurrent is surging, and the danger is lurking, and you will slowly know it in the future." Wang Fengdong said meaningfully.

Undercurrents are surging and dangers lurking?

Zhang Wei only felt a chill in his back when he heard this.
