Bijie set up a city because of the military, more than 200 years later, the original pure military city has long been almost the same as the inland towns, but the residents here are mostly related to the army, within each family, as little as one person, more than two or three people, are in the army. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info just that the hundred battles of the original town guard have long been lost in the old yellow scrolls with the passage of time. The guards are mostly old and weak, the young and strong are turned into soldiers, and because of the fight from the end of Wanli, the southwest will be wars for many years, Bijie as a place to guard the traffic of the three provinces, the army has a lot of exchanges, therefore, the apocalypse years will be specially expanded to expand the city, just to build a super large camp, and now tens of thousands of Sichuan soldiers who enter Guizhou are stationed here.

Today is the time to read it. The summer day was bright early, and the fifth watch was already cloudy and shining, and the battalions gradually got up. Compared with the procrastination of the past, even the laziest soldiers are also diligent in their hands and feet. At the urging of the officers, the soldiers hurriedly finished washing, changed into clean and neat mandarin duck military robes, covered with purple cloth long armor, and the eight-petal hat and helmet were scrubbed clean; There are more types of armor for officers above the age of even chief, all kinds of velvet silk wear waist-length armor, green silk brass flat-topped nail waist-length armor, etc., all of which are polished brightly.

The soldiers of the D team got up earlier. Because of today's reading, I was exempted from running in the morning, and only the leaders of each party were led to practice some ordnance queues. By the time the fifth watch had passed, the sky was pale, and the soldiers were already sweating profusely, and they were practicing non-stop. Seeing this, Li Yongzhong nodded with satisfaction and ordered the teams to go to wash up in turn, while the men who got up to cook on the fourth watch day brought white porridge, kohlrabi and pancakes, and waited for the soldiers to come back before cooking.

"I don't know what happened today?" Li Yongzhong wiped his face, threw the handkerchief into the basin, sighed comfortably, and asked Cao Jinliang who was squatting beside him leisurely. The officers of the D team did not have privileges, and in the past, Li Yongzhong also washed directly by the river like the soldiers, and unexpectedly called Chen Xianda to meet him again, but he didn't say anything about it, but behind his back asked Chen Mingjiang to send a brass basin and a piece of pancreas, Li Yongzhong couldn't cry or laugh, but he also accepted his father-in-law's kindness.

"The situation? At the end of the day, they will assemble at the large school ground, and then each battalion will practice some ordnance and one class together. Cao Jinliang recalled that he had seen the guards he had seen back then, "and then he would take the school one by one, and finally reward and punish." It is said that some people have bought off the people around Shangguan and arranged the team to be sampled in advance, and naturally the evaluation is on the top every year. ”

Li Yongzhong wrung out the handkerchief, splashed the residual water in the basin dry, picked it up with one hand and went back to the camp with Cao Jinliang, and said with a smile: "We are not afraid of inspection-Hou Junmen sent a message the day before yesterday, and said that the head of the new battalion, who has been in the camp for less than two months, can just watch from the sidelines this time." We don't even have to go to school. ”

As Li Yongzhong said, Hou Liangzhu issued a military order, and the recruits who have been in the camp for less than two months only look at strength, martial arts and ordnance, and do not look at the array and military formation. Team Ding was naturally happy and relaxed, and no one paid much attention to this matter. The soldiers finished their breakfast in the hour of a stick of incense as usual, and helped to put on their armor in pairs, if it weren't for the fact that it was really ugly to go there empty-handed, Li Yongzhong didn't even plan to let the soldiers bring weapons at first.

But even if Team D is so relaxed, when they all clean up, Team B and Team C next door are still in a mess, some people shout "Where is my hat" and others scold "You. He. Mother, look at it, this is your grandfather's gown! Occasionally, mixed with the shouts of the officers, "You group of killers, don't move faster, be careful of eating my whip!" ”

Liu Xiaoqi was tidying up the armor on his body, and his chief named Chen Liu listened to it with relish, and came over to laugh with Liu Xiaoqi and said: "Sentinel, the next door is really lively, this person is turning on his back, and he really looks better than the tricks on the street." ”

Shi Chang, who was at the same post next to him, smiled and answered: "Lao Chen is right. How many are there on the street? We're watching the monkey show, good guys! There are more than 100 people on one left and one right! See the sky and act, rain or shine! After the brothers finished the exercise, they were as tired as dead dogs, and when they came back to see this scene, they really laughed and cried, and they were a little less tired! ”

"A little less tired...... I think you're getting less practice! Originally, he didn't want to deal with these two guys, but the more they talked, the more unseemly they became, Liu Xiaoqi had to put on a straight face and scolded the two subordinates who didn't know the severity of the door and didn't guard the door: "What you say, let the next door listen, aren't you causing trouble for the team officer!?" Who do you look down on one by one? When the recruits were trained, you! He pointed at Chen Liu and scolded mercilessly: "I can't tell the difference between the left and the right!" The last foot is covered with cloth shoes, and the other foot is covered with straw sandals! Is there such a thing!? ”

Chen Liu's face immediately turned red, and the chief next to him immediately didn't dare to say anything more, so he said a word to check the preparations of the soldiers and fled. Liu Xiaoqi glanced at Chen Liu coldly, snorted and said, "What are you doing here!?" Waiting for a few laps!? ”

Cao Jinliang and Li Yongzhong happened to stand on the side and watched cleanly. The adjutant of the D team was hopelessly lazy when he was not fighting, and immediately discussed with Li Yongzhong with great interest: "Is Xiao Qi very capable now!" How does Zhong Guan'er plan to use his method? ”

Li Yongzhong glanced at him with a smile, and pushed back lightly: "Sentry A is busy now, so don't beat him." If you are free, it is better to train Mingjiang well - that is the person brought out by the father-in-law, not to wait for leisure, use it well, and it is also a help for us. ”

Speaking of Chen Mingjiang, Cao Jinliang's face was a little serious, and he pondered for a moment before he spoke: "I was about to consult with you - this righteous son of a thousand households, your uncle, Zhong Guan'er, what do you think?" Although he is now in our team, if he can't be guaranteed, Qianhu will transfer him away in the future, but you can't keep him. By then, he would know much more about the team......"

"Is there anything we can't let him know?" Li Yongzhong asked rhetorically, "Let's act, stand upright and sit upright, soldiers are good soldiers, officials are good officials, there is no chaos, if he stays with us for a long time, I'm afraid his father-in-law told him to leave, and he doesn't want to go!" ”

He paused, and rarely brought out the boss's shelf and said to Cao Jinliang: "Team Ding is not more than 100 people now, just you and I can barely manage it, there will be more people in the future, is it possible that you and I have to circle around the head and tail of the soldiers?!" Jin Liang, take a long-term view, today we are comrades with Mingjiang, and our hearts are open, so he will not walk all the way with me, will no one follow me in the future? He has seen some fur today, how about he can rely on some fur in the future? You must know that those who learn from me live, and those who resemble me die! ”

Li Yongzhong saw Cao Jinliang's concerns at a glance - unlike the era of encouraging exchange and learning hundreds of years later, the end of the Ming Dynasty was still an era that valued inheritance and family learning. Especially in the military households where the father passes on the skills of the son, the relatively closed environment makes them pay more attention to the so-called mastery, and it is almost the norm to pass on the son but not the son-in-law, and the daughter-in-law but not the daughter.

But as a person who has traveled from an era of information explosion, Li Yongzhong does not think that such a situation of self-cherishing is normal. Many years ago, when he had just established himself in the Li family, he did everything possible to search for all kinds of technical books, and promised the craftsmen with a lot of money, and even sent people to Guangdong and Fujian thousands of miles away, just to obtain technical contacts and exchanges with Europe - these things were so difficult that he did not want to look back, but after a few years of hard work, he now returned fruitful results for Li Yongzhong, from the manufacture of firecrackers to the progress of basic technology, Li Yongzhong believes that he will be given enough time and money to his "Ming Technology Exchange Movement" More brilliant results can be achieved.

Smiling slightly, Li Yongzhong said meaningfully: "Besides, Chen Mingjiang is not as simple as it seems on the surface. He made a vague gesture with Cao Jinliang, who raised his eyebrows, regained a bit of cynical and lazy look on his face, and said lazily: "You are Shangguan, since Zhongguan'er said so, I obey the order - Mingjiang is much more productive than many generals." ”

The two of them were talking about others behind their backs unscrupulously, but they didn't know that others were also talking about them - Chen Xianda, the supreme commander of the Xianzi Battalion, got up early in the morning, first hit a set of fists, moved his body away, and after the soldiers served and washed, Chen Mingjiang arrived at the time of the meal.

He lifted his chin toward Maza, "Sit." He also instructed his own soldiers, "Bring two bowls and chopsticks to Mingjiang." ”

Chen Mingjiang hurriedly refused: "My son came over after breakfast in the camp." ”

Chen Xianda glanced at him, swallowed the porridge slowly, and snorted: "When I don't know, you will eat some cakes and gruel?" Zhong Guan'er is ruthless, what kind of officers and soldiers are integrated...... My son-in-law, I couldn't see a little bit of Wu Zi's demeanor before, there is no difference, how can I let the soldiers know how to be respectful and humble? ”

The son felt that Zhong Guan'er was reasonable. Battalion officers can't lead by example, how can they convince the soldiers? In terms of combat skills, the captain of the D team is better than the soldiers, the captain of the sentry is better than the chief, and the lieutenant officer and adjutant Cao are better than the captains of the sentry! Chen Mingjiang took the porridge bowl handed over by his own soldiers and put it on the small pestle, and said to Chen Xianda very seriously: "The combat strength of the officers and soldiers is not good, why not for this reason?" ”

"Come on, you young people, it's not a bad thing to have a little bit of a hot heart." Chen Xianda didn't want to talk about this matter with Chen Mingjiang again, so he was silent for a while, and then asked him a little weirdly and awkwardly: "Zhong Guan'er...... What's going on? ”

"Father-in-law's words ......" Chen Mingjiang smiled bitterly, he simply put down his chopsticks, turned to Chen Xianda and asked calmly: "You should ask him this face to face." Zhong Guan'er is now my Shangguan, but his subordinates are not easy to say the right and wrong of Shangguan. "He is not a stupid person, so he naturally knows that if he is mixed up with this son-in-law now, he will still be unlucky in the end.

"Two little rabbit cubs......" Chen Xianda scolded stupidly, and sighed: "I didn't know that he was so stubborn!" Since that day, unless something happens, this rabbit cub has been walking around me, the Chinese army! The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, slapped him on the case, and said angrily: "If he is a stupid person, I am relieved!" And it's not! The smartest person, can't you see through what's inside?! ”

Chen Mingjiang couldn't help but persuade: "Zhong Guan'er naturally knows the intentions of his father-in-law. But the father-in-law, please think about it, Zhong Guan'er is not at the age of a weak crown, it is when he is arrogant, and he grew up in a merchant, and his father-in-law humiliated him in front of people, although there is a cause, but it hurts Zhong Guan'er's face. ”

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! As the old saying goes, the rafters are beaten first! Chen Xianda was also unable to do this that day, and he said earnestly with Yizi: "Your brother-in-law, you are too sharp!" Since he entered the camp, it is not only these people in our camp who have inquired about him! Although all his actions are good, but in this world, if you don't share the same dust with the light, you really think that the world is so big that you can go anywhere!? ”

When Chen Xianda said this, his face was also discouraged, and he sighed: "He is under my command, I can still take care of it for a few years, if I am unfortunate in the future, with Zhongguan'er's strong temperament, if it is calculated, it will definitely be the end of the jade burning!" If the incident the day before yesterday could make him know some of the mysteries and understand some things in the army, even if he held a grudge against my father-in-law, what could he do?! ”

These words really made Chen Mingjiang not know how to take it. He can only sit with his father-in-law, but his heart is very bored, at this time he misses the brisk and bright atmosphere in the D team more and more, he is not comfortable at the beginning, doubtful to the current full acceptance, and even subconsciously chose to maintain when he heard the beloved father-in-law question the D team, and it was only a little more than a month in between.

Chen Mingjiang joined the camp as a personal soldier beside Chen Xianda when he was less than fifteen years old, and now he is also a veteran soldier for more than ten years, and he originally thought that he had long been accustomed to all kinds of ugly and dark appearances in the official army, but since he arrived in the D team, he found that compared with the past, this small army of only a few dozen people is more like a qualified army.

Whether it was the strict routine that even set down the time for washing and eating, or the military training that interested him so much; or the shock of the unity of officers and soldiers, or perhaps the efficient execution of military law - even Li Yongzhong has to obediently admit punishment for violating military law. All these made this young man whose blood had not yet cooled down fascinated after a short period of discomfort. Now Chen Mingjiang can memorize almost all the military laws of the Ding team - this is required by the whole team to learn to memorize, and if one person does not memorize it, all of them will be punished. In Team D, during the rest time after dinner, it was the norm for everyone to gather and recite military law.

He lowered his head, and suddenly he wanted to go back to the tent he was in with Team D. Although it was connected to the soldiers' tent and the environment was not good, Chen Mingjiang already felt that even if he had stayed in the pro-soldier team for many years, it could not give him a greater sense of belonging than that small tent.
