Chapter 114: A New Official Takes Office (1)
Before being woken up by the sound of a horn to get up, Li Yongzhong had already opened his dry eyes in the unfamiliar tent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The tent was dim, only a faint light penetrated through the burlap, and the new young chief sat up slowly, leather, metal, grease, humans and animals, plants, soil, the smell of these completely different beings mixed in the air, and with one breath and one inhale, soaking his body, he felt very vividly that the place he was in was very different from what he had been. The peaceful years in the city of Fushun began to blur in the memories, and the smell of salt and brine that had been deeply engraved in the bones and blood gradually faded, and one day not far after, the generous gift from iron and fire will completely remove the taste that represented stability and calm.
As the general manager, Li Yongzhong has the right to have a small tent and a single bamboo bed. In addition, this tent contained his personal belongings, as well as a total set of armor and weapons, etc., as well as the personal soldiers who slept outside on night - Liu Xiaoqi was in charge last night.
He lifted the quilt and was just about to get out of bed, when the creaking bamboo bed woke up Liu Xiaoqi, who was sleeping near the entrance. He reacted quickly, almost jumping up from the carp on the ground, and then saw that Li Yongzhong had already put on his middle coat and began to wear the mandarin duck jacket outside, Liu Xiaoqi hurriedly ran over to help take off the purple cloth long body armor hanging on the hanger, and waited for Li Yongzhong to put it on, while complaining in a low voice: "Since Zhong Guan'er is awake, he should tell the little one to get up......
"You were also a person who had a tired day yesterday, and you are young, you can sleep more, or you can sleep more than your son." Li Yongzhong said with a smile, straightened his arm and asked Liu Xiaoqi to help him put on the armor, tightly tie the belt, and then hang the black iron sheath used by the officer to wrap the leather handle waist knife, and finally the young officer himself put on the eight-petal hat helmet, raised his chin, and tied the tie tightly.
Liu Xiaoqi looked around Li Yongzhong again, in case there was no omission. After reading it, he praised vigorously: "Zhong Guan'er is really different from wearing this!" ”
Li Yongzhong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Just say this here, don't go outside to say it!" There's no shame! After that, he didn't look at Liu Xiaoqi, and went straight out of the door curtain, Liu Xiaoqi hurriedly followed behind - compared with Li Yongzhong, Liu Xiaoqi also carried a boxy cover roll on his back, and also had a six-foot-long gun.
The soldiers of Team D also got up. According to the habit developed in Fushun, first in order, ten people went to wash in turn each time - naturally, this is also their own, including a toothbrush with bamboo bristles and a small box of tooth powder, and a thin linen handkerchief, the length of an adult's arm, which can be used to wash the face and wipe the body in peacetime, and can be torn into long strips to temporarily stop bleeding and act as a bandage during wartime.
The soldiers who came back from washing began to pack their bags - according to the rules and customs, after getting up early, they had to run ten miles with all their backpacks and ordnance, and seventy or eighty people were crowded in an open space, seemingly chaotic, but they had their own order, except for the low voice, which was the sound of collecting things.
It's early summer, and it's dawning early. Although Team D did not move much, it was enough to attract the attention of some early Ming soldiers. They stood in groups of three or five with their hands in their hands and watched from a distance, whispering and laughing in a low voice, although they did not dare to approach, but the sound came, and the hands and feet of several thin-skinned soldiers of the D team slowed down, and the more they didn't want to be noticed, the easier it seemed to attract the attention of others, but in a moment, a few ill-intentioned voices came from the crowd watching the excitement: "Tsk, look at them like that!" You haven't had hair on your chin yet, have you? "It's still the age of some dolls, so I'll be a soldier and eat food!" There is also a particularly obscene one, yin and yang said weirdly: "There is no hair on this chin, and there is no hair on the head?" ”
The crowd of onlookers burst out laughing.
Cao Jinliang was also one of the first people to get up. He took a long grass stalk in his mouth, stood lazily with his hands on his chest, looked at it coldly for a long time, suddenly took a big stride, walked into the crowd twice, and gently reached out his hand, and pulled out a soldier with a roe head and mouse eyes who shrunk his head!
He was dressed in the color of the general flag, and the small red rectangular flag was inserted in his helmet, and the soldier did not dare to make a mistake, but his mouth was shouting foul language, and he desperately turned his face to look at his companion, and shouted: "The new bully! If you are the son-in-law of a thousand households, do you want to beat someone!? The small ones are not in the Shangguan team! ”
As soon as he shouted like this, there was an uproar among the soldiers, and although fighting was strictly forbidden in the barracks, many people had some irrepressible resentment on their faces. For a moment, the atmosphere that had been a bit of banter suddenly sank. Many soldiers who were originally just curious about the D team showed subtle vigilance on their faces - since the Ming Dynasty, the army has pursued a large and small system, but different hometowns, or different military ages, can become a reason for each battalion leader to guard against each other and be hostile in the Ming army.
"I won't beat you." After saying a word to the onlookers, Cao Jinliang turned his head to the ruffian in his hand, only laughing and not speaking. He has a family history, and he has grown up among the soldiers since he was a child, what kind of soldier ruffian he has never seen? No matter how difficult it is to beat the hob meat, Cao Jinliang can also accept it. He smiled, and coldly ripped off the pants of the ruffian he was carrying!
The ruffian didn't expect him to have this hand! Hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover the front, but the big white light was exposed! The surroundings were stunned, and the soldiers, including Team D, no matter which team, suddenly burst out into a very loud laugh!
"My brothers don't have long hair, then I don't know much, we eat soldier food, dare to fight and dare to rush, we are good soldiers!" Cao Jinliang looked thin, but with one hand, he picked up the ruffian who was hurriedly protecting his lower body! He looked around, and the soldiers who looked at him all bowed their heads, and he still had a lazy look, and said to the unlucky ghost with a pleasant face: "I see that you have hair under you!" Brothers, come and see, but they are hairy! ”
He walked around in front of the soldiers of the D team with a bare buttocks and red skin, and the soldiers who were originally a little restrained and couldn't let go of their hands and feet, and were bound by military discipline suddenly laughed heartily, and took a bamboo stick to pick up the soldier's uniform, pretended to look at it, and turned back to his companion and shouted: "Oh, he really has hair!" ”
Li Yongzhong stood behind the crowd and shook his head with a smile, knowing that this farce must have been deliberately provoked by someone, probably to see if he, Li Yongzhong, was a pus-filled young master who couldn't stand up without Chen Xianda. The strength in the army is respected, and those who rely on the background background, although it seems that no one dares to mess with them on weekdays, but they are laughed at behind them! He, Li Yongzhong, did not join the army to become a new laughing stock, and the proper prestige and arrogance are definitely very positive for the embodiment of his own strength.
Seeing that the trouble was almost over, Li Yongzhong turned his head and whispered a few times to Liu Xiaoqi, and Liu Xiaoqi immediately pulled out a suona and blew out three extremely sharp syllables after hearing it-"Drip!" Drip! Drip! The syllables did not stop, the soldiers of the D team immediately according to their respective formations, with the first team as the leader of the line quickly stood up, after a few breaths, the original noisy open space of the D team stood up several rows of slashing like axes, Liu Xiaoqi strode out, ignoring the surprised eyes around him, only swept the cold gaze on the faces of the soldiers, and shouted with his face: "Report the number!" ”
"First Rank, First, Second, Third ......"
"The third Wu, one, two, three, four, five!"
"Jiashi, there should be fifty people, but there are forty people!"
"Bsh, there should be fifty, but there are forty!"
The Ming soldiers were stunned to watch the whole team with a show-off nature gathered in front of their eyes - just an order, the soldiers of the D team, who originally seemed to be shy and cowardly, seemed to have changed into a person, neat steps, a resolute and calm look, one turned their heads and one turned their heads to report loudly, everyone's movements were almost poured out of a mold, and those several unusually sharp and piercing suona sounds seemed to turn them into completely different people, bold, awe-inspiring, uniform, if it could be described in one word, Quite a few people think of an unusually familiar word - military.
As the star officer, Liu Xiaoqi clenched his fists with both hands and raised them to his waist, swinging his arms to the rhythm of the running movement, and then he stopped in front of Cao Jinliang, "snapped" and hit a military stand, then bowed down and hugged his fists, and said in a loud voice: "Tell Cao Shichang!" The officers and soldiers of the D team should be eighty-eight! Eighty-eight people! Please advise! ”
Cao Jinliang threw the pale and paralyzed soldier on the ground in his hand, looked down, and smiled contemptuously. With a solemn face, he nodded towards Liu Xiaoqi, and then walked towards Li Yongzhong, stopped from three steps away, and gave a neat fist salute: "Total, today's point, no disease, late, retirement, etc., all the staff are all loaded, please instruct!" ”
Li Yongzhong nodded with a wooden face, strode out and stood in front of the soldier's door, and without any extra words, he said concisely: "Morning exercise, start!" Cao Jinliang led the team, ten miles of armed running! Within half an hour, no one returned to the camp, and they were responsible for cleaning the camp today! If someone falls behind, they will be punished together! Begin! ”
In the almost silent annotations of the Ming army onlookers, the soldiers of the D team led by Cao Jinliang formed four columns, stepping on neat and rumbling footsteps, and ran all the way out of the camp. Chen Qianhu's camp! I heard that it was a soldier who just entered the camp yesterday! ”
"Just got into the camp? It's so loud!? The questioner was speechless, "Look at this posture, but it's not easy to mess with!" ”
The leader of the team who was evaluated as "not easy to mess with", Li Yongzhong's eyes slid over the faces of those timid soldiers, and finally stopped at the soldiers who finally put on their pants but did not dare to leave without permission. There are big rules in my team, and if you collide, I can talk, but the military stick doesn't recognize you! (To be continued.) )
