Chapter 311: What is a brother
Liu Daniu is a native of Liujiazhuang, Ulzhou, he is the eldest in the family, because his parents are old, so the pressure of survival has fallen on his head. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In recent years, the year has not been good, and my younger siblings are often hungry and full.
In fact, if it weren't for Wei Yuan, the governor of Ulzhou, and Wang Tengxing, the general of Ulzhou, to repair water conservancy and irrigate the fields with drinking water, maybe the whole family would have to flee the famine.
Rao is like this, and the food and straw at home are still beyond their means.
Liu Daniu has reached the age of talking about marriage, but the girls in the eight villages want to escape from this fire pit, and they would rather marry a big family as a concubine than stay in the village and suffer.
Liu Daniu had a lot of strength but couldn't find a way to make money, so he could only watch his parents at home lose weight day by day.
This is not a solution, on this day, Hu Wei, who grew up with Liu Daniu since childhood, sneakily told him a news: the Guangling Army is going to recruit soldiers.
When he first heard this, Liu Daniu's eyes widened, "Is this true?" ”
Hu Wei looked around left and right, "It's true, I heard that the lord of the military department asked Lord Wang Teng to recruit 15,000 people, but Lord Wang has no money, so he can only recruit 2,000 people first, Da Niu, this is 2,000 places, our brothers must grasp it." ”
Liu Daniu realized that this was the last straw for his family, he gasped and asked eagerly, "Where to sign up?" ”
"Ulju City"
"I'll leave a message for my family, and I'll go!"
Hu Wei patted the package triumphantly, "Go and come back quickly, I'll wait for you here."
In less than half a pillar of incense, Liu Daniu rushed back, "Let's go, let's go!" ”
When the two arrived at the registration location, they found that it was already crowded.
Liu Daniu's face changed, "Didn't you say that Lord Wang didn't have any silver?" Why are these guys still signing up? ”
Hu Wei sighed, "Big Niu, it's only that Lord Wang's name is too famous, the big guys are all obedient to him, don't talk about it, let's hurry up and sign up."
After waiting for half an hour, Liu Daniu and Hu Wei finally signed up.
However, at the time of selection, the two separated.
Liu Daniu was a little puzzled, "Official, why did we separate when our brothers came together?" ”
The man squinted and glanced at Liu Daniu, "Stupid, just now the scribe asked you what you are good at, didn't you answer that you have great strength?" ”
"That's right"
"That's right, if you have great strength, you can be a pikeman, a sword and shield soldier, that kid can't do it, but he has good eyes and can be a firecracker"
It turned out that this was the case, Liu Daniu knew that he had made a joke.
Over the years, the Guangling Army has developed a set of effective models for selecting soldiers: different types of troops have different selection methods.
Spearmen and sword and shield soldiers require great strength, so the candidates for these two areas need to show superhuman strength, and as for the musketeers, they need to have long eyesight and a calm temperament.
In any case, as long as there is a chance to be assessed!
Liu Daniu was completely relieved, and he and Hu Wei made an appointment to meet under the locust tree in the east of the city.
Half an hour later, Liu Daniu was lucky that he successfully completed the assessment and became a member of the new pawn.
After the official registered Liu Daniu's name and surname, he gave him three taels of silver, "This is your Anjia silver, gather here at the end of the day, if you miss the deadline, you will be dismissed."
Liu Daniu took the silver and thanked him a thousand times.
Three taels of silver, enough for the family to live a worry-free life.
Guanglingjun is really well paid, and this time he can be regarded as an ancestor who has accumulated virtue!
Liu Daniu was excited, Shicai was tired and flew away, he felt that his body was as light as a swallow and his strength was as strong as an ox.
By the way, but I don't know if Hu Wei has tested it?
Thinking of his good buddies, Liu Daniu was worried.
Hu Wei is smart and clever, but he can't endure hardship, if he is brushed down this time, I am afraid that it will also be a huge blow to him.
Thinking about Hu Wei in his heart, Liu Daniu came to the locust tree unconsciously.
The agreed meeting place had arrived, but Hu Wei did not come.
Is it good news or bad news?
Another half an hour passed, until the sun was sinking in the west, and Hu Wei finally appeared.
Liu Daniu didn't know how to speak, for fear of touching his friend's sadness, but he didn't know that Hu Wei had the same idea as him.
The two walked in tacit understanding and did not say a word for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Daniu and Hu Wei couldn't hold back the questions in their hearts anymore, and they asked in unison: "Have you passed the selection?" ”
After asking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and both replied, "It's over!" ”
"Haha, it's really an eye", Liu Daniu hugged Hu Wei fiercely, "Good brother, our fate has come."
Hu Wei put the silver in his hand back into the blanket, originally he had planned, if Liu Daniu did not pass the selection, he would take out two taels of silver to give to the other party, so that he could tide over the difficulties.
Unexpectedly, Liu Daniu also passed the selection.
Now, the two brothers have both been selected, and they must be able to make a good story......
After returning home, Liu Daniu handed over the silver to his mother, "Mother, I will go on an errand the day after tomorrow, after I leave, you have to take care of yourself, this silver is the government gave me a settlement fee, you don't have to save, I will ask someone to bring the silver when I distribute the money next month."
Mother Liu didn't take the money, but just scolded with a straight face: "My son, let me ask you, is this silver really your settlement fee?" ”
Liu Daniu swore that "it is true, no matter how unfilial the child is, he will not do anything that violates the law and discipline."
"Okay, since it's an errand, tell your mother, whose errand is it?"
"It's Lord Wang who dug a canal for us, and he recruited soldiers in Ulzhou."
Mother Liu's eyes widened, "Is that the Lord Wang Teng who defeated Jiannu?"
Liu Daniu shook his head heavily, "Yes, this is the person."
Mother Liu was excited, "Okay, Da Niu is really good, our old Liu family finally has hope."
Liu Daniu was silent, he knew that his mother needed time to calm down his complicated feelings.
Sure enough, after a long time, Liu's mother, who was crying with joy, wiped away her tears and commanded sharply: "Da Niu, the military camp is not as good as at home, you can't be ruthless and brave, you can't disobey your boss, do you understand?" ”
"Mother rest assured, son understands"
"The mother doesn't want you to be rich and rich, I just want you to be safe"
Liu Daniu hurriedly relieved: "Mother, don't worry, Jiannu has just retreated, and the Liukou is in Shaanxi, and there will be no war in Ulzhou in March or May."
Mother Liu's expression was complicated, "After joining the army, I only hope that you will not insult your ancestors, let alone be sorry for Lord Wang."
Liu Daniu readily agreed.
A manly man, there is a kindness to repay the kindness, Wang Tengwang saved Liu Daniu's family three times and twice, and Liu Daniu naturally had to sacrifice his life to repay.
The next day, I don't know who spread the news of Liu Daniu's selection to join the army.
Before dawn, Liu Daniu's house was crowded with Daoxi's neighbors.
As everyone knows, Wang Teng's subordinates are the most generous, as long as Liu Daniu has a firm foothold in the army, the Liu family will be reborn.
The sudden enthusiasm caught people off guard, but the Liu family was very happy, their family had not been so lively for a long time.
Liu Daniu's younger brothers and sisters also jumped around happily, perhaps, the only one who felt tormented was Liu Daniu himself.
The days at home are extremely long, and Liu Daniu is looking forward to the day of enlisting in the army all the time.
Finally, the day of enlistment has arrived.
On this day, before dawn, Liu Daniu and Hu Wei came to the school field early.
At this time, many young men had already arrived first, and they only smiled after seeing Liu Daniu and the others.
The young men who can appear here are all people who have passed the selection, and they may become the Paoze brothers in the future, since this is the case, there is no need to offend.
"The two new brothers, find out their position early, line up quickly, and save Lord Wang from losing his temper after he comes out."
Under the reminder of the well-wishers, Liu Daniu discovered the strangeness of the team: six or seven hundred people stayed here, lined up in long queues of large and small, no one made a loud noise, and everyone was careful.
Liu Daniu quickly found his belonging, and Hu Wei also left.
The hour soon came, and after the three-way drum, a tall military general came to the point general's platform, "Everyone, I am Wang Teng, the general of the imperial court!" ”
The new pawn can consciously abide by the rules, Wang Teng is very pleased, "This official will not pursue your past, as long as you train seriously and practice your skills, this official will definitely not treat you badly."
The pawn whispered.
Wang Teng said again: "Since you are under my command, you must carefully obey the general's orders, and if you violate it, you will not be spared."
This is the meaning of the question, if you eat food and become a soldier, you must be disciplined.
As everyone knows, Wang Teng's words changed, "Come on, bring the guy who was wrong!" ”
"Knock knock", a rush of footsteps sounded, but I saw more than a dozen soldiers with big sticks and round arms escorting a team of young men to the front of the stage.
Wang Teng remained silent, "When you wait for a mistake, you are no longer a lieutenant general of our army, and you will return the silver after scolding thirty sticks, and we will have nothing to do with it after that!" ”
A soldier burst into tears, "My lord, give me a chance, give me a chance, I have an eighty-year-old mother, a son who is waiting to be fed."
Wang Teng smiled, "Since you can't let go of your family so much, it's better to stay at home and take care of your parents."
"Your Excellency!"
"What are you doing? Hurry up! ”
"No!"
Wang Teng gave an order, and the executioners opened their bows left and right, and beat the crying fathers and mothers of the young and strong.
Essentially, Wang Teng added a bit of majesty in the eyes of the new pawn.
The effect of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys has been achieved, Wang Teng is very satisfied, "This official is a reasonable person, as long as you abide by the rules, I will not treat you badly, from now on, we will be brothers who eat in a pot!" ”
Everyone looked at each other, the general's brother?
Just kidding!
Wang Teng took a few deep breaths, "This official is not a lie, you are not only my soldiers, but also my Wang Teng's brother, of course, my Wang Teng is also your brother."
"What is a brother? A brother is someone who can rely on each other on the battlefield and use his body to shield you from arrows! ”
"What is a brother? A brother is a person who sacrifices one person, but when more people live, he embarks on the road of no return without hesitation! ”
"What is a brother? Brothers are warriors who fight side by side and never give up, even if you all die in battle, our brothers will not take half a step back"
Three rhetorical questions in a row made people's blood boil, but in a blink of an eye, the atmosphere was mobilized by Wang Teng, "Let me ask you, are you willing to be my Wang Teng's brother?" ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
……
At first, only a few people were shouting, but later, the shouts soared into the sky.
Wang Teng slapped his chest, "This official spit a nail in one mouth, and will never break his word, as long as it is my Wang Teng's brother, I will never abandon a person, as long as I have a breath, I will definitely fight side by side with you!" Of course, from now on, you are my soldiers, my brothers, as long as you are my soldiers, you will never be allowed to abandon your brothers and flee on the battlefield, otherwise, this officer will definitely kill you with his own hands! ”
"Don't worry, my lord, we are all men with eggs, and we will never do anything to be ashamed"
Wang Teng bowed his head heavily, "Okay, I hope you will remember this!" ”
"Don't worry, my lord!"
Wang Teng held the iron horn, "As long as you work together, I, Wang Teng, hereby swear, I am willing to clarify the bandits with you, sweep away the Tartars, and return a bright future!" ”
"Guangling Army, Wan Sheng, Da Ming, Wan Sheng!"
One after another, Wan Sheng shouted and shouted, and Liu Daniu was infected by the atmosphere, and he also roared hysterically.
At this point, it doesn't matter what you shout, what matters is this indomitable momentum!
Wang Teng was extremely relieved, he had already made a good start for the new soldiers, and what kind of creation they could achieve next, it depended on the ability of the generals from all walks of life......
After Wang Teng left, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, Huang Hu and others took turns to fight, and they each selected soldiers.
Those who were selected were naturally overjoyed, and those who were not selected were apprehensive.
Liu Daniu was lucky and was selected by Huang Degong very early, and there were more than 500 companions with him.
After being selected, the first thing Liu Daniu had to do was take a bath.
Outside the camp, someone had already prepared hot bath water, and Liu Daniufu was screaming as soon as he entered.
"What is the howl, I can't stand this pain and still come to be a soldier?"
Provoked by this, Liu Daniu immediately kept silent.
When Liu Daniu finally got over and took a bath, he found that the old clothes on his body had been thrown away and burned, leaving only a few important things.
How good is that?
Why can't you be bare-assed?
Just when Liu Daniu was at a loss, a helper handed over a military uniform, "Liu Daniu, your military robe, put it away!" ”
New clothes!
Liu Daniu's eyes were about to fall!
Changing into a new robe, Liu Daniu felt extremely awkward, however, more awkward things had just begun.
Joining the army even has to recite poems!
What poem?
"Man Jianghong"!
It is said that this is a military song selected by the general himself for the Guangling Army.
"Angry hair rushes to the crown, and the rain rests on the railing. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, and ...... fiercely"
Liu Daniu is illiterate, but this does not prevent him from understanding the meaning.
The meaning of sadness and unwillingness in the lyrics and songs can be felt even by Liu Daniu.
Lord Wang is worried about Jiannu? (To be continued.) )
