The Shenji Battalion and the 3,000 Battalion are the elite of the various units in the Beijing battalion, so in Xie Hong's training of the Beijing battalion, the changes in the soldiers and horses of these two battalions are the smallest. 【Reading.com】

In comparison, the three thousand battalions did not change much. This cavalry is a more traditional elite unit, and the generals' equestrian skills and martial arts are the best in each, and they are also commendable in courage when they are about to fight, and they like to charge ahead. Therefore, in the battle of the Ordnance Division, when they were hit head-on by the earth-shaking thunder, the generals and colonels of the 3,000 battalion had the highest casualty ratio.

At present, most of the generals and colonels of the 3,000 battalions are selected from the border army with superb equestrian skills and relatively high martial arts. And the 3,000 battalions were originally descendants of the steppe cavalry, which was also compatible with the border army with a large background.

Although there are a few people who have hatred in their hearts, but most people don't care, since they come to the door with a knife to win fame, it is common to die in battle, if you hate everything, where can you hold a grudge?

As a result, the two sides quickly became one, and this cavalry also successfully became part of Xie Hong's strength.

The Shenji Battalion is much more complicated, the composition of this unit is relatively mixed, after the nobles in the barracks, although the proportion is not as high as the five military battalions, there are many, and these people are relatively high-born, most of them are also mixed with generals or something, which can be regarded as the leadership of the Shenji Battalion.

When Xie Hong first came into contact with the Shenji Battalion, it was these people who went to various yamen to report the news.

Moreover, unlike the 3,000 battalions that charged hand-to-hand combat, the Shenji Battalion was a technical unit, although it was defeated by a high-pressure water cannon at the beginning, and then attacked by the border army, it also suffered certain casualties. But the casualties were all ordinary sergeants, and most of the generals ran away unharmed, or knelt on the ground and surrendered, and were captured, in short, the officers of the Shenji Battalion were intact.

Now, Xie Hong has full control of the army, and of course he will not keep these unstable factors. Therefore, these generals were quickly informed, and they either went to work in the Fifth Military Camp or the Operations Section of the Lower House of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, or they received some settling-in allowance and retired, and they could stay in the Shenji Battalion if they wanted, but they had to start all over again from the bottom.

After coming to the Shenji Battalion, in addition to mixing merits, most of them also came here for the outside world, but now it is different to say, this is already the rule of the plague god, who dares to make extra money under the hands of the plague god? Isn't that looking for death? has long been frightened by Xie Hong, and none of these people dare to blow up the stab, most of them have chosen the first two ways out.

There are a few battalions in the five military camps, which are specially collected after the nobles, and they are well paid, and they do not need to train and go to the battlefield, which is extremely comfortable, which is just in line with their original expectations; Those who chose to retire were all cautious, they saw that Xie Hong and the scholars were incompatible, and they did not dare to stir in this whirlpool, they must be crushed if they were involved, and it was better to take the money and watch coldly.

However, there are no absolutes in the world, there will always be some exceptions, Wu Yongjian is a special case of the Shenji Battalion, he chose the third way, from the artillery team to an ordinary gunner, and still stayed in the Shenji Battalion.

Everyone else was very puzzled, and the original colleagues were even more sneering. You know, Wu Qianzong's family background is still very good, the ancestors can be traced back to the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although it is not as good as those princes, but there is always a hereditary title, a good Qinggui said that he does not want to enjoy it, he has to fight in the barracks, isn't it stupid?

The current Shenji Battalion is not the same as the original, not only do they have to practice every day, but they also have a big drill every three or five days, and the live-fire training is even more continuous, not to mention oil, water and fatigue, and the danger in the live-fire drill is also quite large!

What's more, the original Wu Qianzong, the current Wu Xiaoqi is still an artilleryman, and weapons such as firecrackers may lose an eye, and most of his surname can be saved, but if there is an accident with the military artillery, it is difficult for the gunner to keep a whole corpse.

Don't you see, even many of the original creeps have applied to quit? It's just that Wu Xiaoqi's identity has to be mixed, and he can only say that this person's life is expensive and cheap, and he has nothing to blame. People who were familiar with him all persuaded each other, but Wu Yongjian was so determined that these people had to sigh and give up.

In fact, what others can't understand is that Wu Yongjian is really enjoying it now, he has always liked artillery and prefers adventure. Originally, when the Shenji Battalion was not very skilled, he often practiced alone, so his skills were also the most skilled.

When the Shenji Battalion besieged the Ordnance Division, he was personally busy on the front line as a thousand generals, and the time for loading and firing the guns in the artillery group he was in was half less than that of other artillery groups, mainly because of his superb skills.

Therefore, Wu Xiaoqi can't feel the hardships and risks in the eyes of others at all.

What's more, having experienced the battle of the night of thunder and fire, he felt extremely deeply about Xie Hong's divine skills, whether it was the high-pressure water cannon of the Great Destruction Divine Machine Battalion or the earth-shattering thunder that destroyed the Three Thousand Battalions, it was a magical thing that Wu Xiaoqi had never heard of.

After the shock, he was also convinced that a firearms unit like the Shenji Battalion should be able to burst out with real strength under a man like Xie Hong, and he worked hard with great expectations.

His efforts were quickly rewarded, and the rumored style of Xie Hong's clear rewards and punishments was quickly verified by him, and in just one month, he was promoted from an ordinary gunner to a small banner, and even received by the new battalion officer Xie Hong, so his enthusiasm became more and more high.

However, Wu Yongjian is not satisfied with his current life, because except for his practice, life is too peaceful, and it is difficult to calm down his scratching heart. What's more, in his eyes, artillery should have a big enough stage and then show it, and it would be a waste to shoot in the sky like now.

What can make him temporarily satisfied, is only the popular commentary in the capital, especially those romance stories, in which the Jin Ge Iron Horse makes him leisurely fascinated, every time he hears the gods, he can't help but imagine that he is also mixed in, with his own artillery, in one fell swoop.

For more than two months, Wu Xiaoqi has been living this kind of two-point and one-line life, the military camp and Houdefang are the places where he stays the most, but his home is rarely returned, there is no way, the old lady's nagging has ground his ears out of cocoons, and there is no good future with Lord Xie? Are you kidding!

In the evening of this day, Wu Xiaoqi, who had finished his training, left the barracks in a hurry, and walked on the way to Houdefang.

If he wasn't interested in making contributions on the battlefield, why would Lord Xie bother to train the Divine Machine Camp like this? The live-fire drill is easy to say, but in fact, the guns fired out were all white money! Could it be that he has nowhere to spend his money, such a waste?

And these days, the intensity of training is also increasing, and today's training is delayed again, I heard that Hou Defang is going to talk about a new joke today, but don't delay.

"Lao Zhao, what's going on, is it going to talk inside? How is it that there are more people today than usual? ”

Seeing Houdefang from afar, Wu Yongjian was stunned, since August, the theaters in the Royal Park have greatly diverted the audience of Houdefang. Compared with the storyteller's eloquence and his own imagination, the appreciation of the drama is obviously a little higher, and the business of Houdefang in the past two months has been much colder than usual.

But today it seems to have gone back in time, and the front of Houdefang is crowded again, which seems to be very crowded, and the theaters on both sides are deserted, so Wu Yongjian will feel strange, and it is easy to find an acquaintance in the crowd, and he is also anxious to ask.

"Isn't this Wu Xiaoqi? Don't you know? Hou Defang released a rumor yesterday, and today I want to talk about a new joke, so there are so many people. Wu Yongjian is a frequent visitor to Houdefang, and Lao Zhao is quite familiar with him, and when he turned his head to see that it was him, he couldn't help but smile and replied.

"What kind of new joke actually made those who love to watch dramas stop watching it and come here to listen to the commentary?" Hearing this, Wu Yongjian was even more curious, originally he thought that Hou Defang was coming out with a new song or something, how could it have this effect based on comments alone?

"Wu Xiaoqi, where is this a lot, you didn't come in the white day, if you saw the grand occasion at that time, you wouldn't think that there are more people now......" That Lao Zhao was obviously also a talker, and he talked for a long time, but he didn't get to the point, but it made Wu Yongjian even more itchy.

"Lao Zhao, you only say what's so special about the new comment, don't pick up this useless thing."

"I said Wu Xiaoqi, let's be considered colleagues anyway, can we have a discussion?" Lao Zhao glanced at Wu Yongjian's military uniform and said with flickering words.

"What are you discussing?" Wu Yongjian was stunned.

"My brother is now lining up in front, but looking at the posture, he can't get in for a while, but if it is replaced by you, it will be different, I mean, can you take the old brother for a while, just say that I am the robe in your barracks, and then ...... Don't worry, my brother will definitely not treat you badly. Lao Zhao said with a smile.

"Oh?" Wu Yongjian understood, and he asked with a smile: "Lao Zhao, didn't you laugh at me when you took the money to retire?" Why are you looking at this skin and eyes hot again? ”

"Alas, Brother Wu, don't mention this stubble, if it weren't for the tight pressure at home, I wouldn't be reconciled, you know, brother, I have been in the Shenji Camp for 20 years, even if there is no future, but there is a bit of affection, isn't it? When you loaded the ammunition, my brother was an old partner......" Lao Zhao sighed, and then said with a smile:

"Who knew that Master Xie had these means? actually promoted us to be soldiers in this way, with this identity, you can enjoy preferential treatment in various industries under the royal flag, not to mention discounts on shopping, and you don't have to queue up to watch a play or a football game! If I had known this, I would have said that I would have to stay in the barracks, alas! ”

"I said Brother Zhao, do you know that you regret it now? It's late! Wu Yongjian said with a smile: "The discipline in the barracks is clearly written, and it is the most basic rule not to abuse power for personal gain. Lord Xie provided these conveniences to the brothers, but it was not for us to make profits, besides, pretending to be an officer and soldier is a big crime, are you sure you are not afraid? ”

"This ......" Lao Zhao was speechless.

"Okay, let's not talk to you, I'll go in and listen to it myself." Seeing that many people in military uniforms had gathered, Wu Yongjian hurriedly left Lao Zhao and squeezed forward.

Today, the second floor of Houde Place has become a reserved location, and military officers and craftsmen, as well as students of Ivy League College, can go upstairs with their status. However, the location on the second floor is also limited, if it is full, even if he has a special identity, he can't squeeze in, and he really doesn't have time to talk to Lao Zhao, grabbing a position is the real thing.

"Cut, look at his smugness?" Seeing the backs of his colleague disappear into the crowd, Lao Zhao also spat hatefully, "Lao Tzu is not rare!" Lao Tzu also went to the Shenji Camp to sign up, with Lao Tzu's ability, it is the same to start as a small soldier, and if you have a good time, at least you can raise a general flag, and then see what Lao Tzu looks like when you see it, hum! ”

However, I can't hear the joke of the Three Treasures going to the West today, which is really regrettable!

Turning his head to look at Houde Fang, the pavilion was bathed in the sunset, shining with solemnity, Lao Zhao let out a long sigh again, or Brother Wu was more prescient, and the soldiers still had to follow Master Xie to have hope, he was really blind at the beginning!
