Chapter 529: Surrender to the Heart

Wang Yu is gone.

Compared with the fanfare of the time, when he left, he could be described as a light car, with only eight hundred heavy horsemen and Zhao Yun's four thousand light horsemen accompanying him.

Regarding Wang Yu's departure, some people celebrated, some sighed, and some people were suspicious, but overall, most of them were happy. Although Wang Yu left, the strength of the Qingzhou army stationed in Wei County did not weaken.

And for the 80,000 troops of the Chengguan Brigade under the command of Guanning, life has not changed much.

Today's urban management brigade has gotten rid of the chaos at the beginning and has become orderly. All the members began to polarize, because there were two ways out in front of them.

The first is to continue military training while serving in hard service, and after selection, reorganize and enlist in the army. In fact, although this unit was ostensibly used as an auxiliary, it was under militarized management internally, and even its training was only slightly inferior to that of the Sixth Hussar Army.

While this auxiliary army was working, people were constantly being selected to join the regular army. The six hussar armies were now represented in the ranks, at first they were larger, with the meaning of overseers or jailers, but as time went on, the tendency to flee became less and less, and the monitoring troops were gradually withdrawn, and finally there were personnel officers who specially selected soldiers.

After a long period of observation, these personnel officers will select suitable people for the expansion of the Sixth Army, which is a good way for those who still aspire to make a name for themselves right away.

The selection criteria are generally the same, nothing more than good health, loyalty and reliability, etc., but there will be some differences in details depending on the selection of troops. For example, the Yulin Army pays more attention to obedience to orders. The Taishan Army attaches more importance to physical fitness, and the personnel officers of the Thunder Army prefer to select people who are agile and have good hand-eye coordination...... Etcetera.

Someone is willing to go up. There are also people who are more content with their current lives.

Frankly, life isn't bad right now. The working time will not exceed five hours a day, and there is no danger to life, but there is a very rich guarantee of three meals. Due to the great battle in Gaotang, until the summer, the supply of meat in the Qingzhou army was still sufficient, and it was basically supplied every day.

Of course, fresh horse meat can't be preserved for so long, but the wisdom of the working people is infinite, and one of the most fully supplied materials in Qingzhou is salt, how to marinate horse meat to be more durable and tasty. It has long been the biggest problem for the chefs of Gaotang.

There is meat to eat every day, corn and rice are full, and from time to time there are rare things such as white-flour steamed buns and Lanzhou baked cakes, and there are those who are well-informed, and they also pointed to the baked cakes and told the allusions of the year, how Wang Hussar visited Situ Mansion alone, how to play Diao Chan under the moon, and how Li Xiaowei disguised himself to sell baked cakes, and finally decided in one fell swoop.

After a day's work, I sat in a new room where the woody fragrance had not yet dissipated. The cool evening breeze is blowing slowly, eating crispy and delicious baked cakes in my mouth, listening to the legendary stories of ups and downs, and longing for beautiful women and heroes in my mind. The heroic posture of the palm of one hand...... In a trance, people can't help but have the illusion that the troubled times have ended and the peaceful and prosperous times have come again.

Even if you are disarmed and returned to the field. It is unlikely that you will be treated better than this and enjoy such a comfortable life.

In general. His Holiness is a secret, even if it is a very brilliant deed. Nor will it be allowed to circulate in this way. The superiors only like to let ordinary people talk about their greatness and nobility, and they should enter Luoyang to save all the people, for the righteousness of the world, not afraid of sacrifice, and resolutely dedicate themselves, not like now, as if they are just pretending to be pickled girls.

But these stories were circulated in Qingzhou as early as before the Hebei War, and Wang Hussar didn't seem to care, so he let people comment on it.

At first, the soldiers were puzzled and frightened, but when they found that no one in the army had been unlucky, they became so excited that they forgot about the fear of being captured.

Listen, listen, the legend of the fierce god who can breathe fire in his mouth and kill people in his eyes is gone, and is replaced by a witty, brave, affectionate and righteous young hero.

The fear and apprehension are gone, the intimacy is suddenly born, and the tens of thousands of soldiers can always maintain stability, which is not the credit of these legends.

When no one was worried about this, everyone began to think about the future. Needless to say, those who are interested in returning to the battlefield will always have opportunities as long as they work hard and train.

But after all, such people are a minority, who have had the terrible experience of being captured after a fiasco, and if they are not forced or forced by life, they still have the courage to return to the bloody battlefield, and their courage and courage must be extraordinary.

For most people, it is a dream to be able to escape the bloody battlefield and enjoy a comfortable life. And the benevolent Wang Hussar did not ignore everyone's feelings, and had already paved the way to a better future for everyone.

On the eve of leaving Gaotang and heading west to Wei County, Captain Guan personally read out the hussar general's order, saying: When the large-scale construction that requires a large number of people is completed, everyone can return to their hometowns and become local officials at the level of pavilion chiefs.

This is a surprising arrangement, the traditional duty of the pavilion chief is to maintain law and order, catch bandits, coordinate disputes in the township, and organize people to build roads and embankments. In Qingzhou's New Deal, the pavilion chief also had the duty of organizing military training twice a month and supervising the people to send their children to study.

To be honest, everyone thinks that the last one is purely a snake to add to it. What's the matter with reading? It's a great good thing, but you can't ask for it! Why did those scholars work hard to study abroad? If you don't do this, you won't be able to find a good teacher, and you won't be able to learn real skills!

Now the General's Mansion will set up county schools and county schools in each county, and every village and township with more than 100 households will send teachers, plus the Taishan Academy in Gaotang City, the capital, which is completely free to study, a one-stop road to the bright road! Who would watch the bright avenue not go, and have to let their children dig the soil for the rest of their lives?

No one is stupid, is he?

In short, the New Deal has brought a bright future to all the soldiers, and the only people who are worried about it are those from Bingzhou and Yanzhou. Their hometown is not yet under the protection of the hussar general, and if they want to return to their hometown, they are afraid that it is a little far away.

Nevertheless. These people still had no intention of fleeing, but believed that the hussar general would not give up on him. Waiting for the day when the glory of the New Deal will shine in my hometown.

The Yanzhou soldiers often quarreled with the soldiers of the state for this. The former believes that Yanzhou's recovery is just around the corner. The annexation of the state is far away, especially after Wang Yuxing's division moved the crowd to the court, the confidence of the Yanzhou soldiers is even more sufficient.

Although the soldiers were not angry, they had nothing to say. Bingzhou is far away and barren, even if they themselves, they can't think of any reason for Wang Yu to leave the rich Yanzhou alone, and go to fight the barren land of Bingzhou first. And their number is relatively small, and when they fight, they are naturally invincible to the 20,000 Yanzhou soldiers.

However, it was on the fifth day of the fifth month of May. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the situation has changed.

May is midsummer, midsummer ascending, Shunyang is on the top, the first noon day of May is the day when the weather is good in Shunyang, so this day is also called Duanyang Festival.

The good treatment of the urban management brigade is also reflected in the holidays. The Han court already has a rule: every five days off, but this rule is only limited to ministers, and ordinary officials and ordinary people can't enjoy it.

But now. Wang Yu popularized this rule.

He exempted the people from forced labor, and only levied land taxes and commercial taxes, and also stipulated that every five days. Even farmers have to take a day off.

On every day off, the local officials would organize the people to gather. The latest regulations and policies of the General's Mansion were read out and explained by a special person. Explain until everyone understands. At the same time, civilian military training will also be held on this day. This is an alternative to forced labor.

The army will not drill on this day either. Rather, let the soldiers rest, or take turns going home to visit relatives or something. The chengguan brigade also refers to the rules of the army, so naturally it also has to rest.

Due to the good weather, the soldiers left the barracks and construction sites, and gathered in groups on the school field, some were lazily basking in the sun, and some were enjoying the shade of the trees, playing chess, and chatting, a scene like herding wild sheep.

In this context, the person who walks briskly is naturally particularly conspicuous, especially this person who is smiling while walking.

"Wu Guang, have you hit the evil? How did you laugh so wickedly? A strong man who was drowsy in the sun was woken up, rubbed his eyes and saw that it was an acquaintance, and immediately scolded him.

Turning his head to see that it was an acquaintance, Wu Guang's teeth were crooked, and he jumped over with an arrow step, dancing and shouting: "Cattle, when is it, you are still sleeping, good news, good news!" ”

"What's the good news? Dusima is back? The mountain army is here again? The strong man, who was called an animal, got up with a bone, wide-eyed, and asked hurriedly.

"How can there be such a thing?" Wu Guang shook his head in denial, didn't look at the disappointed eyes of his companions, and said to himself: "General Gongming has collected more than 10,000 yellow scarves in Jibei and Lu County, how can he still have time to come here to find someone?" With your body, I'm afraid there is not much hope for entering the Thunder Army, so it's better to practice military steps well, and strive to be picked by the Yulin Army as soon as possible. ”

The strong man pursed his lips and tried his best to hide his disappointment with disdain: "Hmph, when a man goes into battle, he should take turns with a big sword and a giant axe, sweep away thousands of troops, and assassinate from afar with a bow and a crossbow and spear, what's the point." Don't Lao Tzu is better, wait for me to go to the wind and fire cavalry to recommend myself, and be a personal guard for the hussar general. ”

Wu Guang sneered: "It's still the same sentence, with your body, you can't go anywhere except for the mountain army." As a cavalryman? What kind of horse can carry you? It's good not to be crushed to death by you, and if you want to charge again, it's a non-thinking. ”

"You guy, you don't come to entertain Lao Tzu, the tiger is not powerful, are you going to be a sick cat? Where to go, Lao Tzu doesn't let you have a long memory today, and Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Sheng! The big man was furious, stretched out a big slap of a fan, grabbed Wu Guang's neck, picked up his other furry arm, and saw that it was a hard beating.

"Don't, don't mind!" That Wu Guangsheng was already a little thin, and the strong man was really huge, this power was like beating someone and catching a child, he immediately panicked, and said without words: "Livestock, Brother Sheng, let me tell you, there is really good news, you will smile when you hear it!" If you're not happy after listening, you don't need to fight, I'll help you carry the wattle myself! ”

"Tell me about it." The strong man looked at the other party suspiciously, loosened his mouth, but refused to let go of his hand, he knew the details of this fellow countryman, and he couldn't go into battle to kill the enemy, but his mouth was very sharp, and he was close to pulling a relationship or something, and it was not a problem to inquire about the news.

"Actually......" Wu Guang didn't dare to slack off, and immediately told the latest news 1510.

There is law and discipline in the barracks, and the townsfolk will not beat people in a real way, but the problem is that the strength of the other party is really not small, and there is no need to move the real thing, and it will be very fatal to hit it twice casually.

"Huh...... Not...... Oh? Yes! ”

While listening, his expression also changed, and the initial surprise quickly turned into a surprise, and finally the strong man jumped up at once, and then shook Wu Guang away, and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, the sky has eyes!" The lord is really wise, how can Wang Biao talk about those guys now? I also have today, and the day of emergence has finally arrived, haha! ”

He was burly and full of energy, and he laughed heartily, and the huge school field was clearly audible, and soon, everyone was alarmed.
