Chapter 454: The Godson of the Military Camp
When Zhang Yunwen got up from the bed, he found that the entire Chang'an was already plain white.
The day before yesterday, Zhang Yunwen came back from the palace and brought the news that he had been added to the rank of knight, and the entire Zhang family was immersed in joy. That night, the Zhang family held a family banquet at home, inviting a large number of people who were related to Zhang Yunwen, such as the Liu brothers and the king of Fushun County, and Pei Xingjian, Wang Xuance and other friends who were also like-minded.
That night, the Zhang family set up more than ten tables until late at night.
Seeing that his father was promoted, Zhang Ji's mind couldn't help but come alive, hmm, should I go to talk to my father and not go to the barracks. On that day, after Zhang Yunwen told him about living in the barracks for two years, he begged Uncle Yang Shiyang to take him to the barracks for a look. Yang Shi couldn't resist Zhang Ji, so he took him to the gendarmerie barracks. Seeing the daily training of the gendarmes, Zhang Ji's heart suddenly plucked cold, originally thought that there was no big difference between living in the barracks and at home, and he might practice sword and archery every day, but the training of these people in front of him made him feel a trace of fear, and he was afraid that he would not be able to stand it for two days in this kind of barracks, and it was said that it was two years.
When he took advantage of Zhang Yunwen's happiness and cautiously made this request, Zhang Yunwen did not refuse at all, and casually responded: "Wow! ”
As soon as he heard these two words, Zhang Ji suddenly became excited and secretly squeezed his little fist.
However, Zhang Yunwen's next words made him depressed: "Since you don't go to the barracks, it means that you don't want to be a general!" In that case, let's go to the class of the country's superintendent! Before the age of twenty-five, if you can't get a jinshi, then you will roll up your cover and go to Liaozhou to farm! ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Ji felt like he was doused by ice and snow, like falling into an ice cave.
"From the text or from the martial arts, you choose!" Zhang Yunwen put down the teacup and said lightly, "But I can remind you that tomorrow is the day to send you to the barracks, if you haven't decided, then I will continue to fulfill my original promise and send you to the barracks!" ”
Zhang Jimian lowered his head like a dead ash and slowly retreated.
Li Yu heard Zhang Yunwen's words on the side, and saw Zhang Ji's appearance like this, and couldn't help but whisper: "Xianggong-"
Zhang Yunwen turned a blind eye to Li Yu's expression and waved his hand: "Yu'er, don't make trouble, this matter is only a proposition for a husband!" ”
Li Yu had no choice but to stop talking.
On the second day, when Zhang Yunwen opened the door, the first thing he saw was Zhang Ji wearing a robe. The boy's face was red, but his eyes were black, and it seemed that he had blown in the cold wind, and he must have not slept well last night.
"Have you decided?" Zhang Yunwen looked at the thin layer of snow in the courtyard.
Zhang Ji nodded: "Well, I'm going to the barracks!" ”
Zhang Yunwen raised his eyebrows: "Okay, since you picked it yourself, you must stick to it!" ”
Afraid that he would be delayed going to the barracks because of the cold wind, Zhang Yunwen asked people to serve ginger soup to Zhang Ji to ward off the cold, so he took him to the barracks.
Before leaving, Li Yu hugged Zhang Ji and cried for a long time.
Stepping on the snow on the ground to the gendarmerie barracks. When those gendarmes saw Zhang Yunwen, they hurriedly saluted.
The gendarmerie battalion, like the artillery battalion, has three lieutenant generals, each led by one responsible for daily training. Zhang Yunwen found a Zhonglang general named Qu Wu and wanted to stuff Zhang Ji with him.
The reason why Qu Wu was chosen was because this person has always been known for his iron-faced image, and even Li Shimin knows this Qu Wu. He commanded the soldiers and horses, ordered and forbidden, and demanded very strictly. During the crusade against Goryeo, the most important role of the gendarmerie battalion was to station troops in various cities to monitor the Tang army and the local residents. And the men and horses of Qu Wu's first department are the most eye-catching among the cities of Goryeo in eastern Liaodong.
This Qu Wu listened to Zhang Yunwen's words, and then looked at the little kid next to Zhang Yunwen, Qu Wu said in embarrassment: "General Zhang, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to do!" Zhang Gongzi is too young! ”
Zhang Yunwen chuckled and said: "General Qu Lang, I also know that Zhang Ji is still young, if he wants to train according to his usual life, he can't bear this hardship at all, so this training can be halved!" The reason why I brought him to this barracks was to let him feel the atmosphere of the barracks. You must have heard of what this little beast has done, Lao Tzu just didn't want his stubborn spirit to continue to rise, so he brought him to the barracks! Qu Lang will govern the army strictly, I am the most relieved of you! ”
Qu Wu listened to Zhang Yunwen's words, groaned, and did not refuse.
Zhang Yunwen hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "You don't need to announce Zhang Ji's identity to the outside world, and you don't need to give him any privileges, just treat him as a soldier with only half of the training." ”
"Okay!" Qu Wu reluctantly agreed, "But Lord Zhang, I will only spend three months training Zhang Gongzi." If Zhang Gongzi has not grown at all, then please ask Master Zhang to take him back! ”
Zhang Yunwen immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" If you haven't grown for three months, it's time to take it away! ”
After the agreement, Zhang Yunwen left Zhang Ji in the barracks and agreed to visit him every other day.
On the third day, after the court meeting was dispersed, Zhang Yunwen came to the gendarmerie camp to visit Zhang Ji.
I saw Zhang Ji standing in the queue with a pale face, following the people in front of him running around the school field step by step, looking at his staggering and panting appearance, it seemed that he was about to fall down at any time.
Finally, after stepping on a small pebble, slipping under his feet, and falling to the ground, this Zhang Ji lay on the ground like this, looking up to the sky and exhaling.
Zhang Yunwen asked Qu Wu beside him, "Hmm, how many laps has Zhang Ji run?" ”
Qu Wu showed an embarrassed look: "Uh, a circle! ”
The school is very large, and it looks like it is about two miles away after running a lap. Generally speaking, when the gendarmerie battalion is trained, it is also a ten-lap run to complete the work.
However, this Zhang Ji has only run a lap so far, which makes Zhang Yunwen feel displeased. stepped forward at the moment, grabbed Zhang Ji and said: "Zhang Ji, you have only run a lap, and you are as tired as a dog, it's really embarrassing, don't hurry up!" ”
Who knew that as soon as Zhang Ji saw Zhang Yunwen, he cried out with a "wow-" sound: "Dad, I don't want to be a martial artist, I want to be a martial artist!" ”
When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he was immediately furious and slapped Zhang Ji's face: "How could Lao Tzu give birth to such a thing as you!" At the beginning, Lao Tzu asked you to choose from the text or from the martial arts, you yourself chose the martial arts, but now you can't practice, and cry from the text, what are your words when Lao Tzu can be changed at any time! ”
The movement here naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers who ran in circles, and seeing that they had a tendency to stop, Qu Wu hurriedly shouted: "Look at what, don't let Lao Tzu run in circles!" Add two more laps per person! ”
So, after the soldiers let out a wail in unison, they went on their way again.
"Uh, Master Zhang, Zhang Gongzi is still quite rare, yesterday's training, he has already persevered half of it, which is good!" Qu Wu saw Zhang Yunwen slap Zhang Jiyi, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, "After all, Gongzi is only nine years old, and it is good to be able to complete such training!" ”
"Nine?" Zhang Yunwen snorted coldly and said to Qu Wu, "General Qu Lang, what were you doing when you were nine years old?" ”
Qu Wu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "When I was nine years old, there was a great drought in my hometown, and my younger brothers and sisters and I became displaced people in the south, and we encountered a chaotic army. They killed people indiscriminately, and in order to protect his younger brothers and sisters, Lao Tzu stabbed a rebel to death with a gun! ”
Hearing Qu Wu say this, not only Zhang Yunwen was stunned, but even Zhang Ji was stunned. Killing people at the age of nine, this Qu Wu is good enough!
Zhang Yunwen pointed to the young soldier beside Qu Wu and said, "Then what were you doing when you were nine years old?" ”
The young soldier smiled with a black face: "When I was nine years old, I followed my father to weave fishing nets and go down to the river to fish!" ”
Zhang Yunwen ordered the other soldiers and asked them what they were doing when they were nine years old. Without exception, at the age of nine, these people began to run the household or mixed up in the barracks.
After listening to their statements, Zhang Yunwen looked at Zhang Jidao beside him: "Did you hear it, what were they doing when they were nine years old, and what are you doing now?" If you didn't have me as your son, I'm afraid you would be almost the same, and now you have to learn to take care of your livelihood with the elders in your family! ”
Zhang Ji looked at the adults around him with complicated eyes. After a while, he gritted his teeth, didn't say a word, and began to run on the school field again.
