Chen Jiazhuang, with an honest face, wearing coarse cloth clothes, and a weathered face like an ordinary farmer, Chen Laocai Chen Wannian looked at the group of strangely dressed soldiers in front of him a little dazed and a little nervous.

"Chen Laocai, that's the way things are. You just need to remember that we are the officials of the imperial court, and we are here to help you suppress the bandits. "The person in charge of the negotiation was a squad leader of a reconnaissance squadron.

Because there is discipline in the army, it is required to treat ordinary people well, and once it is discovered that the people are bullied at will and taken by tricks, they will be dealt with by military law.

Although Jiang Chuan did not ask the new army to freeze to death like the Yuejia army and not demolish houses, it also stipulated strict discipline in the relationship between the army and the people.

After all, the mainstream idea of people in this era is that good men should not be soldiers. On the one hand, the treatment of soldiers is too poor, and they are generally bullied by superiors, and they often do not have enough food and clothing. Moreover, in the era of cold weapons, because the medical conditions were too poor, it was very likely that he would hang up once he was injured.

In addition, the military discipline in ancient times was generally poor, and many so-called officials and soldiers did not know whether they could fight or not, but they were good at bullying the people.

Under the influence of these factors, if the ancient people were not really helpless, they would never take the initiative to serve as soldiers and eat food.

The government's application is another matter.

If Jiang Chuan wants to continue to expand the new army in the future, the sick will have to be selected from among the children of ordinary people, and it is natural to attach importance to the direction of military-civilian relations.

It can be said that this style of work has been brought into full play to the extreme, and this has led to the rapid growth of the people's army, the victory of the three major battles, and the establishment of a new country.

Chen Laocai and Chen Wannian lived for such an old age, but it was the first time he saw an officer and soldier who spoke so kindly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Some of the tenants and tenants of Chenjiazhuang also secretly watched from a distance.

I have to say that the most handsome clothes for men are custom-made uniforms, especially military uniforms.

Wearing a uniform new gray military uniform, leggings, and big-brimmed hats, the new army soldiers are indeed very eye-catching, and the young soldiers' energetic and energetic appearance is very attractive.

Even some bold big girls and little daughters-in-law huddled together not far away, secretly looking at these soldiers.

The veterans of the Qin army were very calm, but the recruits recruited from the people were all red on their faces, and their chests were higher, and the veteran squad leaders who looked at them like that were secretly amused.

"Master Jun, are you saying that the bandits will come to our Zhuangzi to rob us in three days?" Chen Laocai finally figured out the intention of the group of officers and soldiers in front of him.

"Yes, that's it."

"But we, let's ......" Chen Laocai muttered for a long time, but there was no follow-up.

The team leader in charge of the negotiation looked at the rich man in front of him with a simple face, but his eyes were flashing at the moment, and he held back his anger and said, "If you have any questions, just say it." We are here to help you. ”

But Chen Laocai shook his head for a while, waved his hand for a while, but he didn't say why.

However, the lieutenant squadron leader who was watching coldly from the sidelines saw it.

"This old thing obviously doesn't want us to stay, but he doesn't dare to say it clearly."

"Why is that? We're here to help them, huh? The guard said with a puzzled expression.

"Simple. Look at the appearance of this old man, a torn cotton jacket is patched everywhere, and the front and toes of the mille-feuille shoes under his feet are patched, so he looks like a rich man. What does this mean, it shows that this old man is too picky, and he is reluctant to eat and wear, for fear that our people will come and eat him poor. ”

Lieutenant Captain Nunu said disdainfully.

The guard took a closer look at the old man Chen, and it was indeed like this, not like a rich landlord at all, but more like a poor tenant.

The young guard is in a hurry, and he is going to go up and scold this Chen Laocai, Lao Tzu has worked hard to protect you, you are just calculating your own food, which is really annoying.

However, the lieutenant went to grab the guard, walked up to Chen Laocai and said, "Chen Wannian, I am the commander of this unit. We got the information that the bandits were coming to ransack your Zhuangzi in three days. So we're here to protect you. ”

Chen Laocai looked at the officer and soldier in front of him with a stronger aura, and he didn't dare to speak for a while, but the expression on his face became even more entangled.

Chen Laocai has believed in low-key life all his life, and his wealth is not exposed. And believe that if you don't cause trouble, things won't mess with you.

Therefore, although he has saved a lot of property in his life, he is frugal with little food and clothing, reluctant to eat, reluctant to wear, and often works in the fields himself.

He has been thrifty all his life and cares about everything, so he got the nickname "Chen Laojiao".

The reason why he was so entangled was indeed that he was worried that these officers and soldiers would consume their own food.

And there is another reason, that is, he instinctively does not want to have anything to do with the government. Besides, the appearance of this officer and soldier in front of him does look strange.

However, if this is an officer and soldier who don't say a word and break in directly, he Chen Laocai probably won't dare to say anything. But the officers and soldiers said kindly, which made Chen Laocai feel happy to reject them.

As for the fact that the bandits were coming, Chen Laocai was also skeptical.

What he thought was that if these officers and soldiers really came to fight the bandits, then they would fight well, so why did they come to Chenjiazhuang.

However, in the end, it was an officer and soldier, and he didn't dare to refuse directly, so he was very entangled.

However, the next sentence of the officer in front of him with a stronger aura made Chen Laocai stunned for a moment:

"Chen Wannian, if you have concerns, we can also leave. However, three days later, your precious girl will be the wife of the bandits, and you will become the cheap old man of the bandits, then we will come again. But then you'll be the target of our purge. ”

The lieutenant deliberately frightened, looked at Chen Laocai's stunned appearance, smiled secretly in his heart, and deliberately turned around and waved his hand to signal the troops to gather and prepare to leave.

"This military master, please wait a minute." Behind the lieutenant, a woman's crisp voice suddenly came.

The lieutenant turned to look, but there was a young woman chasing after him, about twenty-eight years old, although she was dressed in cloth, but she was beautiful and small, and exquisite.

Facing the lieutenant's slightly surprised gaze, the young woman's expression was a little shy and nervous, but she still bowed to the lieutenant generously and said, "The folk girl Chen Jiaying has seen the military master. My father is old and confused, and he treated the military master rudely just now, and the people's daughter accompanied the military master. ”

After saying that, he saluted the lieutenant again.

The lieutenant came back to his senses and said, "The girl is polite. The girl must have heard what we just said, I wonder if the girl can believe it? ”

"Nature is believing. With such a polite and amiable official army in the world, coupled with your attire, I think there is only a new army trained by His Royal Highness the Regent. Moreover, bandits are rampant in this county, and although the people are women, they also know it. Besides, a few days ago, a group of bandits sent people to my father to ask for food, and it is very likely that they will come to retaliate. Therefore, the folk girl believes that what the military master said is true. ”

Although Chen Jiaying was a little nervous at first, the more she talked, the more relaxed she became.

The lieutenant was a little surprised that there was such a beautiful and well-informed woman in a mountain village.

And this woman is still the daughter of a guy like Chen Laocai, how do you look at it.

Moreover, it is obvious that this Chen Jiaying is still a person who has studied and can read, which can be felt from speaking.

No wonder the one-eyed dragon wants to hit Chen Jiazhuang's attention, this little girl is indeed attractive.
