Strong soldiers stood on both sides of the lobby, one by one, with their heads held high, their helmets and armor shining, and their chests folded and their hands pressed their waist knives, which compared with those soldiers outside the door who were dressed in various clothes, this was the real soldier.

He Renlong sat down on the table in the main hall of the lobby, crossed his waist with one hand, picked up the account that the official had just put on it with the other, and used it to clean the dust thick with copper coins on the table, and said to the respectful but indifferent old town below: "Do you want to be subordinate?" ”

Na Zhenfu raised his eyes, glanced at the arrogant deputy commander-in-chief, lowered his head, and replied in a low voice but without confidence: "Outside is everything, please check the inspection point of the chief soldier." After a pause, he said: "That's it, it's all over the centuries, and it's not easy to keep it like this." ”

He Renlong stared at this old man who could be his grandfather's soothing, and asked in a mansheng voice, "This adult, how old is he?" ”

was asked by this question, but it was unexpected by this calmer, but after thinking about it, he still answered truthfully: "Seven out of sixty this year, full of children and grandchildren, and last month, I also had a great-grandson." ”

"Can you still use knives and guns?" He Renlong asked again.

The town couldn't help but stretch his neck and take a long breath, and then replied indifferently: "You have children and grandchildren to kill chickens, where do you want me?" If the commander-in-chief ordered to kill, he was mistaken. Then he looked at the brothers outside, and couldn't help but sigh again: "Look outside, Lord Commander, where are the soldiers?" It's just a slaughter of pigs and dogs, a small people in the market, this is the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it is no longer useful. After speaking, all over the body, what was revealed was infinite loneliness.

"Is it feasible to wave the flag and shout?" He Renlong stretched out his head and flipped through the brand-new account book in his hand at will, but he didn't mean anything carefully.

It doesn't matter whether you look at it or not, in the past, there was no money and food supply, the last money and food, I am afraid that it was not a hundred years ago, the account books have long been rotten, and the new ones are still the ones who are outside the staff, and there are people who are staring at them, but they can't be greedy for ink, and the most important thing is that the so-called military men outside, some people, may still apply for money and food for the first time, and let themselves remember that they are a generation of military households.

Na Zhenfu raised his eyes, looked at He Renlong again, and then, lowered his head, thought for a while, and then sighed quietly: "Wave the flag and shout, or OK." ”

The Ming Army's household guard station, there is only one thing left to wave the flag and shout, but anything else, is it okay? No, as a pacification, he is just eating the shadow of his ancestors and going into battle to kill the enemy? You can't even kill chickens.

A few days ago, I saw the woman enter the Kou and invade Gyeonggi, but I wanted to fight with a knife, but it was the old cold legs, vertigo, and the waist that couldn't stand up straight, so I could only sigh.

The thief went south, and he also wanted to serve the country in his heart, but looking at his skills like a hemp stick, the old and young people at home who were waiting to be fed, could only sigh emptyly, helpless?

He Renlong didn't know the thoughts of this old soldier, when he got the promise of being able to wave the flag and shout, he couldn't help but feel soothed, threw the account book far away, leaned back, stared at the beam, thought for a long time, sat up straight and said to the old town below: "Military order"

Lao Zhen listened to this, took a step forward, arched his hands, and accepted cautiously.

"I order you to immediately start the headquarters, and lead the troops to the surrounding areas of Pucheng tomorrow, join the military households of the other four county guards, and work with the defenders in Pucheng to break the thieves." When he said this, He Renlong felt that his military life was ridiculous, and the muscles on his face trembled up and down involuntarily, and he had to work hard to control it in order not to let his smile show.

When the old town heard this, there was a pity on his face, this is the life of the military household, even if he fights for it, he can't do it, now, it has begun.

took a step forward and said in a low voice: "The general commander has to obey." Looking around, they were all He Renlong's personal soldiers, but some words still had to be said: "However, according to the usual practice, where should this money and food come from?" ”

Last month's money and food have been distributed, but this month's has no sign of distribution, as the head of these brothers who are about to die, in the heart of compassion, it is still necessary to fight for it.

Waving the flag and shouting, it has to be to whom, the general pole, that is by virtue of the name of the justification, almost as soon as it comes out, the pole will disperse first, after all, the Ming Dynasty has been accumulating power for hundreds of years, but, for the thief? Forget it, the prestige of the thief has spread all over the country as early as half a year ago, it is an invincible existence, tens of thousands of border troops have let a king kill seven in and seven out, the strength of the guard, compared with the border army, that is well known, how to compete with him?

"Let's go and inform." He Renlong said with a disdainful face.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." The old man turned and went out.

There were no outsiders in the lobby for a while, and there was no noise, and it was like a quiet death.

But immediately, this dead silence was broken by the noise outside the lobby and the school field, and bursts of curses and shouts came in, which made He Renlong frown: "Go and see, what is the situation." He Renlong said impatiently to the cronies standing beside him.

The little colonel bowed, then strode out according to the hilt of the sword, and after a while, he strode back again, bowed to the high He Renlong, and saluted: "Those military households are not satisfied with the dispatch and are about to scatter, but it is thanks to our brothers who hold the four gates so that they will not disperse." ”

He Renlong had already known that there would be this effect, so he got up at that time, shook the big behind him and turned the table and said loudly: "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." With that, he strode out of the hall.

Outside, a group of military households were blocking in front of the camp gate, arguing and abusing He Renlong's personal soldiers, a sturdy butcher, wielding a pig-killing knife in his hand, and said ruthlessly to the numb He Renlong's personal soldiers: "Lao Tzu is a butcher, what he does all day long is to go in with a white knife, and a life with a red knife comes out, where have you seen a pickled thing?" Don't put on a show in front of the uncle, if it weren't for the March money and grain, what sun would I come here to bask in? ”

"This is the barracks, this is the military order." He Renlong's personal soldier replied coldly.

"." A place splashed skin, with an open arms, rubbing his body full of greasy, stepped forward and squinted his eyes, and said to the pro-soldier is a mouthful of thick phlegm, "Grandpa, I am in the west of the city, and I am also a man, with a group of subordinates to fight a piece of the country, where is your little soldier comparable?" If it weren't for this terrible military household left by my ancestors, I would be a powerful gentry, and I would still be angry here? You get out of the way, and I'm going to take my brothers to tea. ”

The pro-soldier was motionless, and blocked the camp gate with more than a dozen soldiers: "I don't care where you are, or whether you are a future gentry, I only know that without the order of the chief soldier, there are those who cross the horizontal line I have drawn, and there will be no mercy." ”

"Yo-hee." This puffy skin was aroused by the pro-soldier in front of him, and shouted at the time: "Gentlemen, I haven't seen military discipline yet, and military discipline is only known to my grandfather's grandfather, and you are telling me now that this is tantamount to fart, but I took your money and food for a few days, what's the matter, and I want my life?" Looking behind him, there was a group of brothers who were waving their flags and shouting, turned their heads, and said to the little soldier with confidence: "You are new to the city, and you don't inquire about grandpa and my prestige, Nancheng Tai Sui is, you hide, or grandpa is powerful, or grandpa is bloody, do you believe it or not?" ”

"I don't know your tuba, but now it's a military household, it's a soldier, and you have to obey orders." The pro-soldier did not retreat for half a step.

"Okay, that's right." He Renlong came out, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but cheer loudly for his brother. "A military household is a military household, there is no sloppiness, since you enjoy the support of the imperial court, you should work hard for the imperial court, this is what you should do."

Seeing that He Renlong came out magnificently, he was not discouraged, and stepped forward and said: "What's wrong with the military household, the military man should work for this bullshit court?" Standing on the ground, looking around, he said loudly: "At the beginning, our ancestors had been born and died for this Ming Dynasty, and now, what else do we have?"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately resonated with everyone.

yes, what else is there now? What else is there besides the indelible tattered name of the military household?

"What else?" The ploppy righteous and awe-inspiring looked at He Renlong: "Where is our land?" Then he raised a hand: "According to the rules, we have military fields, but." There was a burst of indignation on his face: "Our military field has become the king of Xi'an, not only do we have no income, but we have to pay countless donations, you say, should we be a military household anymore?" ”

He Renlong was speechless, just looked at him with a sneer.

"Where's our money?" The splash asked again. Look at the crowd behind him, who are either in tattered clothes or in shape: "Did you send it to me?" It's been this March, but it's just trying to buy our lives. Turning to his brother, he suddenly laughed hysterically: "Hahaha, hahahahaha." Everyone looked at this pranky who spoke up for himself, and no one accompanied him, and everyone was numb.

The ploppy expression turned gloomy, "When I was born, I was a lowly military household, despised by everyone, supported by the court, hahaha, bullshit, money and food, haha, I only saw it for a March." This prankster showed his chest and said to He Renlong with a hideous face: "The money and grain in March are only three taels of silver, is it possible that three taels of silver will buy my life?" Is our lives so worthless? ”

He Renlong looked at the distorted face in front of him, and said flatly: "You are right, you are from a military family, and from your mother's womb, this life belongs to the imperial court, so-" Taking a deep breath, "So, whether you take money and food, you have to die for the imperial court, that's all." ”

"No, never, I have the final say on my life, and I will never work hard for the bullshit court that didn't give me a little favor and only gave me suffering." The hysterical shout, this shout, in fact, also shouted the hearts of all military households.

"It's up to you." He Renlong said coldly. "Now, it's a military order, in the womb, you should know."

Turning around, he shouted to the junior colonel beside him: "Cut him down, for those who do not respect military orders." ”
