Liu Eryi is twenty-five years old this year, but judging from his face, he is much older than Wang Shuhui, who is now in his early thirties. In addition to the fact that Wang Shuhui himself was affected by the unknown radiation of the space-time gate, because of long-term outdoor labor and eternal lack of nutrition, ancient people will always look much older than modern people.

Liu Eryi's ancestral home is Henan, and his family moved to Shaanxi during the reign of Emperor Xiaozong. His family's ancestors were one of the laborers recruited by the imperial court to build the Great Wall. Because of good luck, after the completion of the project, his family's ancestors settled in Yulin Town and became one of the military households in the border town area.

Serving as a soldier in the nine-sided town of the Ming Dynasty is quite a difficult thing. Liu Eryi's family was indeed lucky, his ancestors did not die in the battle against the Mongol Tatars like those fellow villagers. Even if someone dies under the swords and bows of the Mongol Tartars, they die after having children to pass on the bloodline.

So in the past hundred years, the luck of the Liu family to invite heaven has finally been passed on to Liu Eryi's generation.

As an ordinary military family, Liu Er's family must not have such a thing as a genealogy. Things about his ancestors have been passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. Liu Eryi also learned about these things after listening to his father's account.

Liu Eryi generally knew what kind of life the ancestors were living about. In general, basically the situation of the old Liu family is that the weasel is teasing the rats, and the situation of one generation is not as good as the next. Whether it is Liu Eryi's grandfather or Liu Eryi's father, they all told Liu Eryi that the world today is not as good as before.

Liu Eryi hadn't experienced anything before, so he didn't know. As a military household in a border town, Liu Eryi's family has never been the main force of the border army, and their family's main job is to engage in tuntian. Otherwise, the Liu family would not have been able to pass it on in the course of more than a hundred years.

But let's talk about farming, Liu Eryi, who took on the family business after his father's death, also feels more and more that farming is becoming more and more difficult.

Originally, farming in border towns often failed to grow anything because of the lack of water sources, the arid land, and poor soil quality. But no matter what, something has to come out of this land. But since seven or eight years ago, Liu Eryi found that he couldn't even get a little income from farming in the local area.

The land has never been Liu Er's family. The land in the border town is all in the name of the border town officer. As landlords, these military attaches must measure the most basic inputs and outputs, and in the case of no income from farming, Liu Eryi's existence has become a burden of only input but not output.

So since four years ago, Liu Eryi has become a member of the combat unit of the border army.

Because of the influence of the climate of the Xiaoice River, natural disasters in Shaanxi are frequent, and the climate is abnormal. For the same reason, also because of the influence of the climate of the Xiaoice River, Mongolian tartars have become very frequent and fierce for the grass valley in Shaanxi.

It is true that Liu Eryi was originally a farmer, but as cannon fodder on the battlefield, Liu Eryi received a realistic education. He understood that it would be difficult to survive in this environment without some hard means in his hands. In this way, in a large number of combat practices, Liu Eryi slowly transformed from an ordinary farmer into a farmer with combat skills who can harden his heart and kill people.

In an accident, Liu Eryi got acquainted with Zhang Xianzhong, who was a little lacking in his eyes and came to join the army by himself.

Zhang Xianzhong is a very worldly person, and with his contacts and contacts, Liu Eryi admires more and more this young man with a sense of morality and face. In 1624, Liu Eryi resolutely followed Zhang Xianzhong, who was expelled for breaking the law, and left Yulin Town, preparing to follow him to lay a piece of his own world.

Liu Eryi felt that Zhang Xianzhong was righteous and had face, so he felt that Zhang Xianzhong was worth following. What he doesn't know is that the reason why Zhang Xianzhong is very enthusiastic about others is not because Zhang Xianzhong's nature is like this, but because Zhang Xianzhong developed a set of methods and ways of dealing with the world when he was a fast catcher in the county government in the past.

For Zhang Xianzhong, when he was in Yulin Town, Liu Eryi, who was also cannon fodder and had relatively good skills, was very useful to him. Having such a person by your side on the battlefield can greatly improve your chances of survival.

And when Zhang Xianzhong was ready to pull up the team and swing the horses to start the rebellion, Liu Eryi, a foot soldier with a bit of skill, became unimportant, but the role of those horse thieves and fugitive border soldiers with relatively superb riding skills became important, and their status was also high.

Liu Eryi, a farmer, quickly experienced the warmth and coldness of people in Zhang Xianzhong's team. But by this time, Liu Eryi had no way out. As a deserter, he had no choice but to go all the way to the dark with Zhang Xianzhong, who had become very snobbish in his eyes.

In this way, with a bit of military literacy, seeing some big scenes, and having some means to save his life, Liu Eryi followed Zhang Xianzhong's team from Shaanxi to Shanxi, from Shanxi to Shaanxi, and finally to Huguang.

Because Liu Eryi did have two hits, Zhang Xianzhong arranged a small boss position for Liu Eryi among the cannon fodder refugees. Liu Eryi originally thought that he was afraid that he would go to the dark with Zhang Xianzhong for the rest of his life. After all, all the officers and soldiers he came into contact with in Zhang Xianzhong's troops could not defeat Zhang Xianzhong's troops. Unexpectedly, here in Xiping Town, Zhang Xianzhong and his thousands of invincible horse teams (cavalry) suffered a catastrophe.

Liu Eryi was also ready to run away at first. However, from Shaanxi to Shanxi, and from Shanxi back to Shaanxi, and finally to Huguanglai, these thousands of miles were all run down on two legs, and Liu Eryi was already desperate psychologically. With an idea of early death and early survival, Liu Eryi did not run away like the other small leaders arranged by Zhang Xianzhong among the displaced people, but obediently accepted the arrest of the Fuxing Army like ordinary displaced people.

The Fuxing Army is a very unbelievable existence in the eyes of Liu Eryi, a border army with a bit of vision. It wasn't that he didn't see cannons firing when he was in Yulin Town. But compared with those small cannons in border towns that are bulky, uncertain, and of poor quality, and kill more of their own people than Tartars, he thinks that the cannons of the Baxing Army are a different kind of thing entirely.

From beginning to end, Liu Eryi didn't see where the artillery was or where the revival army was. If it weren't for the revival army marching out of the position later, Liu Eryi would have thought that Zhang Xianzhong's horse team was blown up by the thunder.

Once a person gives up hope, he becomes very calm. The Renaissance Army is of course very terrible, but that kind of horror is aimed at Zhang Xianzhong's gang. Therefore, when facing the Revival Army, Liu Eryi behaved like an ordinary homeless person, obediently accepting the mercy of the Revival Army.

After he realized that he was the same as these homeless people, he had to bear two years of labor because of the impact on the military formation, Liu Eryi was still relieved. For him, hard labor is indeed very hard, but compared with death, it is better to use hard labor
