……

On the third day of November, Jizhou ......

"Aim ahead, thorn!"

"Drink!"

"Stab again!"

"Drink!"

In the early morning, outside Yong'an City, there were bursts of shouts and killings in the sky above the military camp of Yang Youhuai's department, ushering in a day's drill in this cold winter.

At the beginning, the officers and soldiers of Youzhou and Dingzhou who had newly joined the military governor's office could not adapt to the boring training mode, especially the "literacy" arrangement in the afternoon, which made them even more miserable, and many of them had the idea of quitting.

Moreover, the military law in this barracks is extremely harsh, and if there is the slightest violation of discipline, it will be a military stick without saying a word, and it will make these casual soldiers of the Far Eastern Army even more miserable.

However, to their satisfaction and satisfaction, they can basically eat three meals a day under the military governor's office, and they can also eat meat every few days, so although the daily training is hard, at least they don't have to worry about hunger anymore.

And the chief general who was urging them to practice was Fang Jing, who had been promoted to the deputy battalion envoy of the Huaizi Battalion, and at this moment, Fang Jing was no longer the cowardly man who relied on taking the rations from his wife and children, but had grown into a qualified general.

"Good! After the morning exercise, after a two-quarter hour break, the array drill will start for half an hour, and then eat! Disband! ”

As Fang Jing's order on the review table was issued, a bronze whistle sounded around the martial arts arena, and those newly recruited officers and soldiers from all over the country sat down as if they had been amnestied, constantly waving their arms to relieve the soreness and numbness coming from their joints, and at the same time began to sit together in groups of three or five and began to adjust their mood.

In one of the crowds, a lean soldier said dissatisfiedly, "What do you think we are practicing like this?" In the past, when I was in Youzhou, I only trained in 135, but here I have to practice every day, and I only take a vacation once every seven days, so what kind of literacy is there? We are soldiers and we don't take the talent test, what do we know that thing for? ”

His words were agreed by many of the soldiers around him, and everyone felt that it was really depressing to be under the command of the military governor at the moment.

The other soldier thought for a moment, and whispered with his red hands, "Why don't we all find a chance to slip away?" It's been a bitter day, how can you still perform like this on such a cold day? It's really unhindered, could it be that the military governor really trained us as trump cards? ”

"Whisper......" As soon as the soldier's voice fell, he was stopped by a soldier who was a few years older, "I advise you to quickly put this idea aside, the Shanzi battalion next door knows, right?" The new Dingzhou soldiers with us, because they couldn't endure hardship, hundreds of people slipped away,

As a result, before they left the camp, they were all arrested, each of them was given 50 military sticks, not to mention, they were all expelled from the military and sent to work as coolies in the mines for three to five years, and all the military family members were deprived of their due military family benefits. ”

When they heard the soldier's words, all the people fell silent, and they had heard about it. If you want to say that there is anything different from other officers and soldiers under the command of this military governor, it is that there is nothing to say about this treatment, of course, it cannot be compared with Liu Ce's relatives Jingwei Battalion, but compared with the old department where he was originally located, it is simply a world of difference.

In particular, the treatment of military dependents, each soldier's family can receive two to five buckets of rice and flour plus half a catty of fine salt every month, three months to knot, after one year of enlistment, there is also a meat subsidy of three or five catties in the first month of each year, and as long as they serve and deceive, the whole family can get at least 20 acres of land, that is the most important thing.

What is the most important thing in this world? That is, there is a piece of land of their own, so that the basic life of the family is guaranteed, and many people grit their teeth and stand up for the treatment of those family members.

"That's it, let's boil it......" a sturdy soldier thought for a moment, stroked the spear in his hand and said to them, "It's a bit bitter, but if you think about it, have these superiors ever made us feel bad for no reason?"

As long as you do the performance seriously and don't make mistakes, you won't be punished, and this food is good, three meals a day, sentry duty and supper, can you eat enough at the old department? At most, there are two meals of rancid noodles a day, and I am still hungry, and from time to time I have to rely on the family to receive rations to survive, how can I have money and food to subsidize the family. ”

Hearing what the strong man sergeant said, everyone nodded again, even for the twenty acres of land, they had to survive these three years.

Suddenly, another soldier looked at the guards not far away, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes: "However, those Jingwei battalion sergeants are really rich and flowing, tsk......tt"

When everyone heard this, they looked at the eyes of the soldier who spoke, and they all showed a strange look of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"I heard that even if they are big soldiers, they have savings of hundreds of taels of silver, and many of them not only have fields but also houses, and the life is called a nourishing ......."

"But it's not, I heard that many people have married daughters-in-law of two or three rooms, Mom, my Lao Qiu can't think that one day if I am allowed to live that kind of life, even if it is only a few months, I am willing to live for ten years."

"When will we have this kind of treatment from them, alas, people are really angry compared to people......"

"Then you will continue to be a soldier after the three-year service period expires and work hard to join the Jingwei Battalion, the treatment that the Jingwei Battalion has today is not blown by the wind, it is a real knife and a real gun."

Everyone immediately laughed at what they said, and at this moment, suddenly a short and fat man with a round belly stood up and said loudly: "It's decided, I, Xie Ping'an, will continue to serve after the expiration of three years, and make military achievements to join the Jingwei Battalion!" ”

When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they immediately looked at him in a daze and then snickered, and one of the soldiers said to Xie Ping'an: "I said Xie Ping'an, you are almost thirty, right?" I don't even have a wife, and I still say big things? Join Jingwei Camp? Look at your own bear-like look, are you ashamed? ”

Xie Ping'an glanced at the sergeant who was laughing at him, then looked at the "Jingwei Bird" banner that was waving in the cold wind, patted his chest with a straight face and said, "Hmph, how do chickens and ducks know the ambition of the wild goose?" The eldest husband should make a name for himself and the world, and accomplish great things, how can he be trapped by the personal feelings of his children?

I thank Ping'an for living in the troubled times for twenty-seven years just to wait for this day to come, and in the future, I will help the military governor to sweep away the Hunu outside the Saiwai, and make immortal achievements. ”

"Big brother, you're wrong, it's the ambition of the bird, isn't it......" As soon as Xie Ping'an's words fell, he was pulled by an eighteen-year-old soldier on the side, and awkwardly corrected his mistake.

"Does it make a difference? It's all about the same anyway. Xie Ping'an glanced at the sergeant next to him who reminded him, and said to him with an indifferent face, "Shaoyun, you wait, when the eldest brother has made immortal military achievements and is rewarded, and if you have money, I will build a house for you and marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, so that you can have an explanation for your dead father!" ”

The young man called Shaoyun's real surname is Zhuo, he and Xie Ping'an are fellow villagers, his parents died early when he was a child, and he was all taken care of by Xie Ping'an, and the relationship between the two is as deep as brothers.

When Liu Ce pacified Youzhou and sent a report to recruit soldiers, they went to join the army without saying a word and were full of ambitions, and after the expiration of the two-month recruit period, they became a member of the border army under the command of Liu Ce.
