For example, the simplest problem of salt, Yang He did not bring salt when he carried out survival training in the wild, because he preyed on some wild animals, and he could ingest a small amount of salt from meat, and the blood of animals also contained a certain amount of salt, so that people would not have too much problem if they maintained it for three or two months.

But if you don't eat salt for a long time, it is absolutely not okay, and if you don't eat salt for a long time, people will feel dizzy and weak, and many diseases will follow.

In addition, people are omnivores, so it is not enough to eat meat alone, and if you do not eat food and vegetables for a long time, your body will also have problems.

In addition to food, there is also the problem of clothing, Yang He's clothes will wear out sooner or later, and he can't wear animal skins directly in the future, this thing is very warm to wear in winter, but in summer, if you wear an animal skin in summer, it will really kill you. But if you don't wear animal skins, will you be naked? If nothing else, no one will be able to stand the mosquito bite.

Finally, there is the problem of living, you can't always live in a cave, wild beasts and poisonous snakes in the mountains and forests, you have to beware of these things when you sleep at night, then the quality of sleep is needless to say, and it is easy to get a nervous breakdown if you sleep for a long time.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to live like survival training in the wild, and at the very least, you have to hunt prey and exchange some necessities for others.

But now this place is occupied by Jianlu, although Yang He does not know much about the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also knows that the Jianyu mentioned by this person refers to the Jurchens, that is, the later Manchus, the Jurchens originally relied on collecting mountain treasures and hunting with the Han people in exchange for various materials to maintain their lives, and then the force gradually became stronger, and felt that they could argue with the Ming Dynasty, so they began to use force to loot the materials of the Han people.

It was also the Ming Dynasty that was not angry, and several key battles were defeated, so these people became more and more bold and appetizing, and they were no longer satisfied with robbing the Han people's materials, and began to plunder the population on a large scale, making the Han people their slaves.

Yang He wants to exchange daily necessities with these people, which is tantamount to sending sheep into the tiger's mouth.

In other words, there is no living space for Yang He in Liaodong under the occupation of the Jurchens, and if you want to survive, you can only enter the customs, but what can you do after entering the customs?

This is the Ming Dynasty, when people's living habits, language and culture, and social systems are very different from those of later generations.

The ancients paid attention to the parents of the body's hair and skin, and it should not be easily damaged, except for monks and foreign races, there was no haircut, but Yang He's hairstyle was short.

Now Yang He wears a simple wolf skin hat on his head, others can't see that he has short hair, but he can't wear a hat all the time after all, especially such a wolf skin hat, once he is seen when he is not wearing a hat, I am afraid that he will be directly arrested as a spy of another race.

Even if Yang He is well hidden and not discovered, but the Ming Dynasty was an agrarian society, Yang He can't farm, and people won't use him as a tenant, and if he wants to work, he has no legal identity, and people won't use him, and if he wants to do business, he has no capital.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yang He didn't think of what he could do in the Ming Dynasty, and he was at a loss for a while.

I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly heard Brother Zhang exclaim: "Big brother, the meat is roasted." ”

Yang He was startled when he heard this, suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly removed the wolf's leg from the fire.

Turning his head to look at Brother Zhang, Yang He smiled and said, "I was thinking about things just now, and I forgot that I was roasting meat." By the way, why don't you eat it? Oh, it's your knife. ”

As he spoke, Yang He picked up the single knife on the ground and handed it to Brother Zhang for him to use to cut the meat.

At the moment when Brother Zhang took over the single knife, Yang He suddenly remembered the identity of Brother Zhang and the others, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He still has a way out, that is, to be a soldier, to be a soldier, to be a soldier, to get a military salary, to eat the emperor's food, to live in the barracks, if he can become a soldier, then the problem of life can be solved.

And compared to other professions, it is much easier to be a soldier, and now the Ming Dynasty has repeatedly suffered defeats in the Liaodong battlefield It is the time to use soldiers, as long as you find someone to introduce you, there should be no problem in being a soldier.

After thinking about it, Yang He turned his head to Brother Zhang and smiled: "I heard them call you Brother Zhang just now, I don't know what to call it?" Where are you from? ”

Brother Zhang hurriedly said: "My name is Zhang Shun, and I am from Huairen County, Datong Prefecture, Shanxi. ”

Yang Heqi said: "How did Shanxi people come to Liaodong to be soldiers? ”

Zhang Shun smiled bitterly: "We were originally the border army of Datong Mansion, and in the first battle of Salhu, the Liaodong army suffered heavy losses, and the imperial court drew troops from all over the country, so we were transferred to Liaodong." ”

Saying that, Zhang Shun sighed softly: "When we first came to Liaodong, there were originally more than a hundred brothers, and now there are only about a dozen of us who have died. ”

Yang He sighed when he heard this, and asked after a while, "Who are the people in your family?" ”

Zhang Shun said: "There is an old lady in the family, and a mother-in-law with two children. ”

"Do you have any land at home?" Yang He asked.

"There are only a few acres of thin fields, and the harvest in the past two years has not been very good, and after paying the field tax, there is not much grain left at all. Zhang Shun said.

Yang He nodded silently,

After a while, Yang He gently patted Zhang Shun's shoulder: "Brother Zhang, I don't think it's okay for you to always be deserters like this, whoever leads the soldiers, I don't want your own soldiers to be deserters, you will be laid off sooner or later." What would you do if you didn't even have a salary? What about the family? ”

Zhang Shun sighed: "Big brother, I'll be honest with you, we don't want to be deserters, we also want to cut off a few heads of Jianyu in exchange for some silver." But with those incompetent generals, not to mention killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, whether you can survive on the battlefield depends on luck, how do you say such a battle can be fought? We can't be sent to death in vain. If I die, my family won't have the last hope. ”

Yang He nodded slightly, and then asked, "What is your position in the army?" I see that these people listen to you. ”

"What's the position, it's just a captain, these people are all brothers in my team." Zhang Shun said.

Yang He thought for a while and said, "Are these people in your team?" ”

Zhang Shun sighed and said: "Originally, there were twenty people, but a few have been separated, and I don't know if these brothers are alive or dead now." ”

Yang He nodded lightly, thinking about how to tell Zhang Shun about being a soldier.

Seeing that Yang He was silent again, Zhang Shun suddenly said, "Big brother, I don't know what you call it?" ”

Yang He smiled and said, "My name is Yang He, I'm not as old as you, you can't afford to be a big brother." ”

Zhang Shun hurriedly said: "Deserve it, deserve it, the eldest brother is a capable person at a glance, I can't beat the brother you knocked down just now, but I was knocked down by the eldest brother all at once." ”

Yang He couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Those who can fight are called capable?" Can a person with great ability be a big brother? Isn't that a gangster in a mixed society? ”

Seeing Yang He's smile on his face, Zhang Shun asked, "By the way, where is the eldest brother from?" How did you end up here? ”

Yang He smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, his biggest headache now is the identity problem, but this problem must be faced, and it must be answered immediately, otherwise it will arouse Zhang Shun's suspicions.

Yang He knew very well that Zhang Shun's attitude towards him was so respectful because Zhang Shun was afraid of him, and in fact, he had a lot of suspicions about him in his heart. If he wanted Zhang Shun to help him become a soldier, he had to dispel Zhang Shun's doubts.

After thinking about it, Yang He said: "I am a native of Dengzhou, Shandong (note: Yang He is originally from Wendeng, Shandong, and knew that Wendeng used to be called Dengzhou).

A few months ago, I found an opportunity to kill the guards Jianyu, and then fled into the mountains, not wanting to get lost in the mountains and forests, and did not come out until the day before yesterday.

Fortunately, I learned martial arts from people when I was a child, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to survive in the mountains and forests. ”

Then Yang He raised his hand and took off the wolf skin hat he was wearing on his head, exposed his short hair and said: "Brother Zhang, after we were taken captive, we had to shave our hair in order to survive, and I cut off my braids after I escaped, but the time is still short, and my hair has not grown yet." ”

Yang He's words were naturally casual nonsense, but Yang He thought that Zhang Shun couldn't find anything wrong with his words, and he was still relatively confident in this.

Yang He used to use various professional identities to contact mission objectives when performing missions, and although he would do his homework before each operation, most of the time he had to rely on improvisation. This ability to adapt to changes requires rigorous training and, of course, a certain amount of talent.

In fact, improvisation is lying in many cases, and Yang He, who has undergone professional training, can be said to be no less than those politicians in lying, he doesn't blink his eyes when he lies, and he can stand scrutiny very much.

Zhang Shun looked at Yang He's hair and nodded slightly.

Seeing Zhang Shun's expression, Yang He knew that Zhang Shun basically believed his words. However, Yang He knew that the clothes and shoes he was wearing were still flawed, and now he couldn't see it with wolf skin, but as soon as he took off the wolf skin, he was exposed, and he had to find an opportunity to destroy his clothes and shoes.

Yang He was thinking about where to get his clothes to change out of his original clothes, only to hear Zhang Shun say: "Now that Liaodong is in chaos, it's not easy for my eldest brother to go back to Shandong, I don't know how my eldest brother is going to go back?" ”

Yang He shook his head and said, "I'm penniless now, how can I go back?" Now we can only take one step at a time. ”

Looking at Zhang Shun, Yang He suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, do you want soldiers in your team, what do you think I should be a soldier under you?" ”

Zhang Shun hurriedly said: "Big brother said that he laughed, with the skills of the eldest brother, isn't it condescending to be a soldier under me?" ”

Yang He shook his head and smiled: "What is the talent, it is not the same for anyone to be a soldier under anyone." ”

"That's not the same, the soldiers are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, we belong to the guards, and the military salary is the lowest, only less than one or two silver a month. The second is that the imperial court recruits local battalion soldiers, and the monthly salary is one or two or three cents of silver. The highest salaries were those of the family soldiers, who were paid more than two taels of silver a month, twice as much as ordinary soldiers. In addition, the weapons and armor used by the family soldiers are also much better than those of ordinary soldiers, with the skills of the eldest brother, if you want to be a soldier, you will naturally be a family soldier. Zhang Shun said.

"Family soldiers? What does that mean? Yang Heqi said.
