"Officers and soldiers are exempt from crimes"

"Those who leave the military camp without an order will be flogged for thirty days in a flail,"

"If you don't fight without an order, you will be the first to follow the staff and ten shackles for ten days,"

"Whoever is a herdsman, who loses his words, acts illegally, and radically changes the good people, and thus gathers a crowd to rebel, and loses the city, shall be beheaded."

Two days later, the snow finally stopped, and the hunters of Jiming Village, who had settled in the warehouse of the coal pit, became hired handymen as promised; Xiao Ye promised Shang Shetian that they could leave at any time, but they must abide by the military discipline of the Hundred Households in Shiguantun.

Li Langzhong, who was holding the military discipline of a hundred households, was standing in the warehouse of the stone coal pit, reading the military law and military discipline of Shiguantun to these miscellaneous servants; Of course, this is the military law of the military law of the "Da Ming Law" in the 30th year of Hongwu, which was sorted out by Yang Tianshou.

In the original seventy-five articles, the inappropriate volumes of "Gongwei" and "Post Station" were deleted, and the remaining three volumes of "Military Administration", "Guanjin", and "Stable Pasture" were taken out word for word; However, this law about military affairs is more serious for soldiers to commit crimes, although Xiao Ye does not agree with it very much, but there is no way, on the surface he can't change it.

As for the five punishments of flogging, rod, imprisonment, exile, and death, Xiao Ye did not think of carrying it out seriously, if it was strictly implemented, I was afraid that no matter how many sergeants in Shiguan Tun were, it would not be enough to kill; What's more, as long as it is not a particularly serious crime in the border army, the guards are also blind to it, and everyone's hands are still pointing at the military households to farm the land.

Take it out and read it again, just to express solemnity and deter the scene.

On the contrary, these sergeants and soldiers who violated the last military discipline such as being late, drinking and gambling money, etc., were all driven to the coal pit by him and offset by digging coal.

However, when Li Langzhong, who shook his head in public, read that "anyone who slaughters a ploughing cattle and opens a pen shop privately and knowingly sells/sells cattle and slaughters them will be punished with a shackle within a month, and those who commit repeat offenders will be exempted from being sent to the nearby guards and soldiers", the hunters were ignorant, and the two sergeants who were responsible for maintaining order on the side were already beads of sweat; Fortunately, Baihu is not here, otherwise the face will be big.

Every military household in the tun has eaten beef, including the shopkeeper of Huang Deshan and the Tian family, but the sergeant saw that he got the meat.

On the second day, the sun finally sprinkled on the earth, and the cold wind was still there, dry and cold.

With the Orion of Jiming Village joining, stimulated by Xiao Ye's promise of daily wages, the Orions quickly joined the life of the miners after the chief of the security guard signed the employment contract for miscellaneous servants.

As long as you are willing to work hard, it is not a big problem to change your stutter to eat.

The output of five cars of coal per day has also increased to eight; If it weren't for the difficulty of digging the carbon pit, it would have been necessary to lift the pit out of the pit one by one to load the truck, and perhaps more would have been dug.

Since the snow fell on the gravel fort, there has been no movement, and the fire gun that was taken back by Sun Zhenfu Guan, after Jiang Jie's family guard verified, the range of the fire gun is not as good as the three-eyed fire gun; The scattered surface destructive power of the Three-Eyed Firebolt of 180 steps is much better than the range of 150 steps of the Shiguan Firebolt Bullet, which is much better looking and more suitable for rough scenes.

As for the reloading frequency, the three-eyed firearm can be fired three times in a row, but the Shiguan firearm is not, the guards scoffed, and the thousands of households did not pay attention to it.

The thirty firecrackers were divided into half by the third young master of the Huang family who came later, Jiang Jie didn't care, and he also handed over the rest to the guard, but the twenty war horses were taken away by ten, and Jiang Qianhu was really in pain.

Three-eyed firearms, fierce fire oil tanks, swarms of bees, earth-shaking thunder, thunderbolt poison fireballs, 10,000 enemies, firearms with a range of 180 meters, tiger squat cannons, these firearms in the Fort City Divine Machine Bureau, Jiang Qianhu didn't look at Xiao Ye's firearms and crossbows at all.

Heavy snow fell intermittently for seven or eight days, completely cutting off the traffic between Shiguantun and Gravel Fort.

Now Shiguantun, in addition to the coal is still being mined, even the ground mining and transportation of low iron ore has become dry for half a day and half a day, and the output of yellow plaster is naturally too small.

After relying on the coal to make the stone mill run and consume the ore hoarded outside the mill, Xiao Ye took out four Shiguan Shiguan fire guns and six handguns, and could only watch most of the patterns on the grinding disc no longer shiny.

So, in the past few days, he could only keep taking out black silk coats and starting to distribute them to the sergeants.

With a short coat with better warmth, the sergeants who were responsible for picking vine grass and fruits handed over the whole two hundred catties of fruit cores to the hundred households the next day, and the peel was scraped off and handed over to Li Langzhong.

Xiao Ye got the kernel, and under great joy, he quietly sent two small flags and twenty sergeants, wearing the five protective clothes he handed over, to accompany the old sergeants to pick a large area at the foot of the mountain.

The strength of the people was great, and they found the right place, and the vine grass and fruits were quickly transported into the hundred households one by one.

In the early hours of the morning, Xiao Ye took his guards to the mill and poured thousands of catties of metal kernels into the stone grinding eye; Before that, another 3,000 catties of coal were sent to the stone mill first.

The rapidly rotating stone mill was still the same pattern that lit up, Xiao Ye was not too depressed, just quietly took out two silk cotton coats and left the mill; Although the stone mill that was nearly one person high did not continue to increase to the height, under his careful measurement, the stone mill plate and stone platform became more and more horizontal and rough.

It was not until the tenth day, that is, six days before the end of the year, that the hundred households of Ximen who walked out of the mill, although empty-handed, had irrepressible joy on his face, and made him walk more and more briskly; Behind him, Xiao Liuzi carried a large cloth bag, which contained this harvest.

A full ten pieces of black silk cotton coats, although the style is the same size, Xiao Ye is already ecstatic, after the stone platform becomes wide, the box that slides out really becomes bigger and deeper.

However, for this reason, he also invested nearly 10,000 catties of coal, which made the twenty sergeants tired enough.

On the quarry side, normal mining has gradually resumed, and even the coal pit has accelerated production, reaching the limit of ten trucks a day.

After getting the good news, Xiao Ye personally went to the coal pit and rewarded the chief of Jiming Village with a brand-new black silk short coat, but Shangwu's outfit was deducted by Wang Dali's salary every day.

Although the heavy snow has stopped for a few days, the old people who have the heart to return to Jiming Village have remained silent amid the strong opposition of the younger generations; In Shiguantun, there is food, clothing, and shelter, and no one will go back to the cold village to starve.

Zhengde six years (1511) arrived, Shiguantun's New Year was very lively, although there was no regret of rushing to the market, but the land temple with strong incense in the daytime, two crowded shops, and children running around all over the ground, let the top of Shishan Mountain boil.

In front of the Land Temple, two long strings of firecrackers rang out, and in the crackling smoke, a pair of eyes full of joy made Xiao Ye feel full of heart.

The children who played with Han Juan and them, the team grew again, and the seven or eight children of the hunters in Jiming Village were also summoned by her to pick up some vines and grass fruits and go to Xiao Liuzi, one copper coin for twenty fruits, which was their favorite game.

Of course, dangerous places are not allowed to go, and in the distance where children play, there are old people watching.

Knowing that the fruit is something that hundreds of households need, although Xiao Liuzi doesn't know the twists and turns in it, he takes out some copper plates, so that the children will not run away without a trace, and Xiao Ye also acquiesced to this small business.

In the end, even the old and weak women and children in Jiming Village were added, which made Xiao Ye smile suddenly; In the end, the acquisition of vine grass fruit pits developed into a unique business in the hands of Shi Guantun, and he couldn't have imagined.

On the thirtieth night of the vigil, Xiao Ye's family spent it with the Yang family, and after those sergeants received the meat and grain rewards distributed by the hundred households, some families went home, and those who did not have a home drank wine and ate meat in the military house.

The sergeant on duty tonight, Xiao Ye specially gave each person a silk coat to supplement, which was fifteen taels of silver, and it could be exchanged for cash immediately after getting it to the two shops.

Xiao Ye treats his subordinates preferentially, Yang Tianshou is not inappropriate, and he also knows that in this era when it is common for officers to keep guards in captivity, Xiao Ye is already very good if he does not deduct the sergeant.

The only thing that worries him is that the military households have no land, and the food and salary need to be raised by themselves, and the subsidies in the thousands of households are just talking; I came here last month, but I took away half of Xiao Ye's fire guns and war horses, so I lost everything.

Sitting on the fire, Yang Tianshou faced Xiao Ye on the other side of the small table, a pot of ale wine, and chattered for a while, but he didn't notice it at all, and Mei'er's porcelain-white face next to him gradually turned red.

Zuo Shi and Han Juan hurriedly ate two bites, and were in a hurry to go out to set off firecrackers, Mei'er's eyes flickered, and she glanced at Xiao Ye's eyebrows from time to time; A serious Ximen Baihu, who eats meat and knows the essence, quietly stares at his fiancée's face out of the corner of his eyes, and he is also a lot anxious in his heart.

"Cough, Xiao boy, after the New Year, you should also marry Mei'er," the old father-in-law, who is old and refined, finally said a sentence faintly, and said embarrassed to the two little couples who were eyebrows. Leaving his daughter at home again, I am afraid that I will complain, Yang Tianshou is gloomy in his heart.

The daughter of the family, when it is time to get married, is the father, and her heart is uncomfortable and tight.

"The old man on the auspicious day has also checked, it is advisable to marry on the twenty-eighth day of the first month, and you are also ready to prepare," the elder set the date, and Xiao Ye hurriedly responded; Hetian Xiuxiu has been a few times, and the taste of a good night is very clear.

As for the old man of the Xiao family, it was agreed that Wang Dali, who was close to the old hundred households, would be responsible for it, and as Xiao Ye's uncle and uncle, he was enough to convince all the military households in the tun.

set the time for his daughter's wedding, Yang Tianshou was also happy in his heart, so he drank a few more glasses of ale and was helped into the inner room to rest; Xiao Ye's eyes flickered a few times, and he didn't dare to take Mei'er back to the house, so he could only sit on the big kang in the outhouse with her, chatting and waiting for dawn.

Tonight, the oil lamp was not extinguished all night, and Mei'er smiled and did not feel distressed.

In the early morning, Mei'er worshiped the god of the stove, Xiao Ye had already returned from the mill, and after practicing the knife technique twice in his yard, he called out his younger brothers and sisters who were sleeping heavily, and took some food and bits and pieces, dried fruits and snacks bought in the shop, and went to the old people to pay New Year's greetings; The first one went to my old father-in-law.

Transferred to Wang Dali's house, Xiao Ye pulled him aside and muttered for a while, and in Uncle Wang's hearty laughter, the man's parents for Xiao Ye's marriage were decided.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the yellow plaster in the mill resumed normal production, and after all the sulfur, saltpeter, and lead were scavenged in the two shops in Huangtian, Xiao Ye made an IOU, and arranged for Wang to assign people to go down the mountain to cut wood.

The five armed flags were also on the snow of the training ground, and the soldiers were rehearsed; Two teams of musketeers, three teams of crossbowmen, began to drill the fifty sergeants in formation, divided into five queues, and with the sharp command of the suona, they continued to advance, attack, and turn to attack.

"Peng, Peng," "Bang, Bang," the firearm shot was followed by a crossbow shot, and after a short long-range strike, the sergeant who wielded the waist knife and scimitar, holding a wooden shield, flashed with the knife and advanced again in turn, constantly chopping and chopping.

In front of the shop, Huang Deshan and Tian Fangjun, the shopkeeper of the Tian family, chatted while looking at the training ground from a distance.

The snow was too thick at the bottom of the mountain for the scouts not to go too far, but to send lookouts on the high ground at the top of the mountain.

After ten days of continuous busyness, in the arsenal of the side house of the hundred households, the wooden shelves were full of neat Shiguan firearms, fifty brand-new firearms, and three large wooden boxes of projectiles, Xiao Ye finally put his mind at ease.

With the widening of the stone platform under the stone mill, Delai can load the gun and the corresponding projectile after the race, and he can take out five guns at a time, and six projectiles; It's a pity that there is no cowhide, and the projectile box has also become a wooden box, Xiao Ye can only smile and shake his head.

The output of other items in the pattern has also doubled, depending on whether the raw materials are sufficient.

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Xiao Ye's five armed small flags, wading through the thick snow, set off down the mountain without waiting for dawn, and fifteen snowmobiles as sturdy as carts were also dragged away by mules and horses; Guarding the defense of the hill were the craftsmen and sergeants under Wang Dali, who filled the various posts with knives and sticks.

Huang Deshan, who heard the sound, went out and saw the team hurrying down the mountain, hurriedly ran into the tunli, found Wang Dali and asked, "Wang Si, what happened under the mountain, the hundred households are so loud?" ”

"I don't know, Baihu didn't inform the official," Wang Dali waved his hand solemnly, and hurriedly went to the coal pit.

"I don't know? The honest man still snorted, hum, "Huang Deshan secretly snorted coldly, he also saw the movement of the pro-guard team descending the mountain one step earlier, but he couldn't see what was in the four bigger snowmobiles under the tarpaulin.

There are a total of nineteen snowmobiles, what are they going to do, Huang Deshan kept muttering in his heart.

At the foot of the stone mountain, the two people marched into the stone pass in a row and walked to the depths of the canyon, although the snow under their feet was difficult to walk, but the faces of the sergeants were filled with excited smiles; Today, with the five shotguns in the hands of the hundred households, it's time to find the owner.

On the mountain path in the canyon, the traces left by the guards who passed one step forward on the snow only need to be followed; Although it was difficult to explore the road, the guards had horses to pull snowmobiles, and people could already sit on them.

The long and narrow mountain road walked for a day, and Xiao Ye led the team out of the canyon when it was getting dark; On the edge of the grassland where the cold wind was howling, everyone saw a single tent set up, and the team suddenly became much more stable.

Fifteen individual tents were all brought out by the personal guards, and seventy sergeants and two pharmacists could be packed together, but they could not lie down and sleep in them.

Early in the morning, with the sharp sound of suona, the sergeants climbed out of the tent, began to pack up, eat some dry food, and assemble according to their respective squads.

Opening the oilcloth on the snowmobile, in several large wooden boxes, the shiny post-race loaded guns of Delai were taken by the sergeants, with sixty rounds of ammunition each, and the cowhide magazines around their waists were full.

The old firecracker that has been replaced has to be pulled back in the box, which is a good thing that can be exchanged for money.

It was still a moving target one hundred and fifty paces away, and on the silent grassland, on the snowy white wilderness where there was no eye to see, the sound of the gun suddenly sounded again.

Two projectiles per person, shoot at the target that swings left and right, whoever hits more accurately can have a shotgun with a long barrel, and the projectiles are all different, they are pointed.

Half an hour later, the sound of the explosion fell silent, and the five shotguns were immediately dispatched by Xiao Ye; Wang Hu's team has two, and the guards have three, and the targets erected in front of them can't be faked.

Just after the heavy snowfall, why did Xiao Ye bring people out, first, to train soldiers, and secondly, he had no money, and those Mongolian Tatars on the grassland were his goals.

Xiao Ye knew that as long as he had money, the shops of the Tianhuang family would be able to meet his needs during this time, especially sulfur, lead, copper, and saltpeter could find a place by himself, but it was still a little remote and difficult to supply.

What he lacks now is money. Xiao Ye, who has been a robber twice on the grassland, naturally knows how to do it more effortlessly and time-saving.
