XLIII. Barracks Chronicle 3
……
“…… Eleven...... Twelve......"
“…… Twenty, close the team, you all remember it for me, and next time it won't be twenty military sticks, let's go to the medical team and apply some ointment, really, how can this group of recruits know to cause trouble every day......"
Xie Ping'an and dozens of others "crackled" and walked out of the execution tent with a sigh of sigh after being reprimanded by the executing officer.
"Big brother, you don't matter, right?" Zhuo Shaoyun stepped forward to support Xie Ping'an and asked with a concerned face.
Xie Ping'an patted Zhuo Shaoyun's hand when he heard this, looked at the situation of the formation of the drill on the drill field and the circle of punishment, and said with a straight face: "Shaoyun, you remember the military stick punished today, the ancients, if the sky wants to send a great responsibility to yourself, you must first suffer from the pain of flesh and skin, and then suffer the pain of wrong muscles and bones, so as to achieve great things!" The punishment we suffer today is a preparation for the future prosperity, and it is a test of heaven for you and my brothers! ”
"Big brother, it is the great task of the heavens and the people, you must first suffer your mind, strain your muscles and bones, starve your body and skin, and empty your body......" Zhuo Shaoyun was extremely helpless and corrected Xie Ping'an.
"Really?" Xie Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head in defense, "Anyway, it's almost the same, in short, Shaoyun, you just need to know why we want to join the army?" It is to one day no longer be hungry, no longer poor, live a good life, and live with dignity,
Now in troubled times, when you and my brother should do a lot, we must grasp this opportunity, kill a few more Hu Nu on the battlefield and make meritorious deeds to benefit our future generations, and the man should make a difference! ”
"Listen to the ...... of the eldest brother"
Zhuo Shaoyun nodded and sighed, he knew that his eldest brother had some ambitions since he was a child, and he wanted to do something to glorify his ancestors, in fact, he did this for his own good, saving money to do hard labor for himself to study in private school for a few years, just so that he could get rid of the fate of being as poor as him in the future, for which he even spent the money to marry his relatives, how could this kind of dedication that was closer than his own brother not move Zhuo Shaoyun?
"Sigh the law ......"
"Cluck~Cluck~"
At this moment, there was a roaring sound of horses' hooves outside the camp gate, Xie Ping'an and Zhuo Shaoyun looked at each other, and suddenly showed a strange feeling of pride and envy in their hearts.
Xie Ping'an patted Zhuo Shaoyun and said, "Shaoyun, have you seen it?" This is the mighty Iron Cavalry under the command of our Military Governor! Have you ever seen such a majestic cavalry in Youzhou? Those are all mules and horses, and they are pitiful, not worth mentioning. ”
Zhuo Shaoyun shook his head indifferently, and said to Xie Ping'an: "Every time I see Fu Yunxiao, the hussar army of Fu Ying's envoy is very fascinating, if one day I can have a war horse galloping on the battlefield, how good it would be......"
"There will be such a day!" Xie Ping'an patted Zhuo Shaoyun's shoulder vigorously, and said confidently, "In the future, we will not only ride on horses across the battlefield, but also personally lead a cavalry army to sweep away the outside of the fortress, before that, we must practice hard and win the opportunity to go to the battle, so that we can make military achievements and raise our eyebrows.
Shaoyun, you follow as a brother, and in a few years, you will definitely return to your hometown with your clothes, so that the people who looked down on us before can see, what is Feihuang Tengda, and the glory of the ancestors! ”
"You just blow it, you ......" As soon as Xie Ping'an's voice fell, a soldier who was also beaten sneered behind him, "Xie Ping'an, you just say a few words, our Xunshan brothers are suffering for you today, how do you plan to express it?" ”
Xie Ping'an waved his hand and replied arrogantly: "Don't worry, I, Xie Ping'an, will not treat our brothers in Xunshan badly, didn't I pay the military salary this afternoon?" Tomorrow happens to be a day off, and I invite you to drink in Yong'an City in the evening! ”
"Good!" When everyone heard this, they shouted in unison, "Just thank you for your words, today's meal is worth it!" ”
But some people said worriedly: "But will this military salary really be distributed to us?" You must know that the arrears of those soldiers in Youzhou are commonplace......"
"No......" Zhuo Shaoyun said very firmly, "I have heard other colleagues say that the military governor will never default on the military salary of the soldiers, even if it is difficult, it will be paid, wait and see." ”
"Well said!" Xie Ping'an immediately took Zhuo Shaoyun's words and said proudly, "How bold is Lord Military Governor? How can it be difficult for us to be embarrassed by a few taels of silver? I have inquired clearly, every time the military salary is issued, it will be sent to the soldiers in full and then signed, and the officials have no chance to deduct it!
How can you live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? It's really a shame for our Xunshan boys, don't say this kind of thing in the future, not to mention that we eat so well, there is white flour and fat across the mountain, this is ......"
"Bell bell bell ~ open meal......"
Just as Xie Ping'an mentioned eating, there was a crisp sound of metal tapping not far away, and after a while, the trombone for eating also sounded over the barracks.
Xie Ping'an touched his round belly, his eyes flashed, and then Zhengse said to the people on the side: "Yang Ying'an said that only when you have a full meal can you have the strength to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, so now we should abide by the regulations of the army, go to the canteen on time to eat, and then practice well after eating and drinking!" Let's go, eat first~"
……
When Xie Ping'an and Zhuo Shaoyun lined up to receive their own food, they came to an empty long table, and were just about to sit down, only to remember the military stick they had received before, and grinned in pain when they touched the chair, and said a few good words to the guards at the door, and after ensuring that they would not waste food and dirty the drill venue, the two came to a half-person-high wooden fence outside the tent against the cold wind, and put two thick multigrain cakes and a bowl of porridge and an egg on them and ate slowly.
"Shaoyun, how do you feel about this situation?" After Xie Ping'an took a big bite of bread, he pointed to the empty training ground in front of him and asked Zhuo Shaoyun, "The cold wind is cold, you and my brother eat bread and drink porridge here, such pride, Brother Wei really feels that this life is in vain, but it's a pity that he doesn't read much for his brother, and he can't compose a poem compared to the soldiers of the old camp......"
Zhuo Shaoyun listened to Xie Ping'an's words, nodded as if he had some feelings, tore off a mouthful of multigrain cakes, and blew the cold wind for a while, and was a little demented.
"Huh......" Suddenly, Xie Ping'an took out a newspaper and pointed to one of the contents of the newspaper to Zhuo Shaoyun and said, "This is today's military newspaper, have you seen it?" The military governor will return to Yong'an from Hanling in two days, if I guess correctly, there will be a big move in Jizhou soon,
The opportunity for you and my brother to make meritorious service is coming soon, and when the time comes, you will follow your brother and lead you to kill the enemy and make meritorious service! ”
Zhuo Shaoyun was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "Big brother, how did you know that Jizhou was about to make a move?" ”
"Silly, you still have a few more years to study in a private school...... Xie Ping'an chewed a coarse cake and said with a smile, "You look at the content above, I have also recognized a lot of words for my brother, and the first batch of more than 2,000 sets of armor will be issued to the recruits in our battalion soon this afternoon, what does this mean?" Think about it for yourself. ”
"Huh?"
Zhuo Shaoyun hurriedly looked at the newspaper, and sure enough, he found the content of the armor and weapons issued to the new army of the Huaizi Battalion, and he couldn't help but start to get excited.
Under the influence of Xie Ping'an, he also has a strong idea of making contributions, but it is not as obvious as Xie Ping'an's performance, and now that he has this opportunity, he can't help but have a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.
"Shaoyun, the opportunity is coming, you and I will encourage you together!" Xie Ping'an drank the rice porridge in the dry bowl in one gulp, and stretched out his palm to Zhuo Shaoyun.
Zhuo Shaoyun also drank dry rice porridge, and shook his palms with Xie Ping'an, and smiled at each other at the same time.
"Eat this egg......" Xie Ping'an handed the egg in his hand to Zhuo Shaoyun.
"No, big brother, I have ......" Zhuo Shaoyun hurriedly excused himself, "It's better for you to eat......"
"If you take it, take it!" Xie Ping'an forcibly stuffed the egg into Zhuo Shaoyun's hand, and then limped towards the cafeteria, patting his chest and saying proudly as he walked, "A man is alive, he should have the world in mind, how can an egg make me Xie Ping'an satisfied?" ”
"Big brother, your newspaper ......"
Seeing Xie Ping'an leaving, Zhuo Shaoyun hurriedly handed him the newspaper in his hand, but Xie Ping'an refused.
I heard a burst of bold words from Xie Ping'an's mouth: "You keep it, the words in the paper are all in my chest!" ”
After speaking, he nibbled on the cake and continued to wait in line to receive the rice porridge, obviously not full yet......
