"Zhang Zhongqi, come out and follow me." Cherg's voice rang out outside the door.

Zhang Zhongqi walked out with a flattering smile, looked at Cherg and said flatteringly: "Master Cherg, where are you going to work this time." ”

Cherge is in charge of Zhang Zhongqi's Feng De Pashku, in the past, for the sake of Lao Niu Lu's real face, he was good to Zhang Zhongqi, but now when Lai Daku comes, he is no longer polite to Zhang Zhongqi, just looked at Zhang Zhongqi with a little mockery, "Who told you that you are serving labor, and you still think that when the old master was in the past, let you go to boil salt and hunt for benefits?" You are a Nikan who carries the flag, have you picked it? ”

Zhang Zhongqi smiled wryly: "Slaves don't dare, slaves listen to their masters." ”

Cherge looked at Zhang Zhongqi coldly and said: "Bring your own grain and horses, go to Shenyang with Lao Tzu, the Great Khan wants to train the Han army." ”

"Master, didn't the Han army choose in Ahari?"

"Our Niulu Baoyi is almost dead in Lushun, there are not so many coats, there are a lot of Nikans who carry the flag, you are the Nikan who carries the flag, the master chooses you to go, you have to go."

Zhang Zhongqi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, at this time, Taktan passed by the door, he sneered after hearing Cherge's words, "Nikan is Nikan, don't raise the flag, you don't know that you are a minion." After he finished speaking, he coughed, and spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on Zhang Zhongqi's clothes.

Zhang Zhongqi didn't dare to wipe his phlegm, nor did he dare to have any anger, he knew that Taktan still remembered the last time he beat Hailan, and then he made a special trip to the door to explain, and was beaten out by Taktan and Hailan, and he didn't say anything at all, and he couldn't shout outside that he was going to block Niu Lu Ezhen, so he could only suffer a dumb loss.

After scolding, Taktan turned his head and left, he is now Baijia, and there is not much left in this Niu Lu. Although the last time Hailan rammed Lai Daku, he was only fined one cow later. The identity is still much higher than Zhang Zhongqi.

Zhang Zhongqi secretly scolded a few words in his heart, he had saved Taktan a few times, and he was kind enough to help with Hailan's matter last time, but he actually ended up with this treatment. After all, Taktan never treated him as the same status, everything was

After Cheerge finished explaining, he walked to the next family, which was Zhang Zhongqi's neighbor, Zhang Zhongqi hurriedly followed behind, and said carefully to Cherge: "Master Cherge, this is about to be harvested in autumn, do you want to wait until the grain is harvested before leaving?" ”

"Of course, I will leave after harvesting the grain. Your family pays five buckets per acre, and one bucket less will cost you your head to the ground. ”

Zhang Zhongqi stayed on the spot, although he had fifty acres of land. However, many of them are barren land, far away from water sources, and in this year's dry season, only about 20 acres can receive grain, and most of them are only about nine buckets. The other 20 acres and more than 20 acres have basically not been harvested, so there will be no grain storage at all.

At this time, Cherg had already arrived at the door of the house, and was about to go to the bar door to kick it open, Zhang Zhongqi hurriedly ran to Cherge's side, took out a piece of silver of five taels from his arms and quietly stuffed it, "Lead the urge." I beg you to be accommodating, the minions are all poor land, and they can't produce much food. Please also ask the master to reduce the number of minions. ”

Cherge touched the silver, put it in his arms, waved his hand to Zhang Zhongqi, and did not say whether it would be reduced or not. In Zhang Zhongqi's frightened eyes, Cherge went up to the door of the neighbor and kicked it. The broken gate suddenly made a big hole, and Cherg kicked the planks away with a few more kicks. Walked through the hole.

Zhang Zhongqi looked inside from the outside, this is also a banner-carrying coat, named Wang San'er, during the battle of Lushun, I don't know where to cut off the head of a Dengzhou soldier, when they lost a lot of losses as a bannerman in Niulu, this coat got the identity of a banner man. However, he has never gone out to rob, he has no savings, and even the cattle have to be rented from Zhang Zhongqi's house, and he has a very hard life. There are four people in his family, a daughter-in-law and two children, and there has been no meal recently, Zhang Zhongqi began to take a little help, but then he couldn't eat enough, so he no longer lent food to the third son of the king.

Cherg stood in the courtyard and shouted a few times, there was no response inside, Cherge walked to the main house, Zhang Zhongqi was afraid that he would kick the door of the main house again, and then it would be cold enough in winter, so he hurriedly followed the back in, the yard was very simple, the horse pen and the bullpen were empty, only the southeast corner of the firewood stack was enough.

In the past, the owner of this family was a soldier, who died in Fuzhou, and after the death of Zhenyi, if there is no immediate family, then the assets, wives and concubines and minor children left behind by him are disposed of by the forehead of this Niu Lu, but before the disposal must be reported to the main banner of the banner Baylor. This soldier only has one daughter-in-law, and in the end, I don't know who accepted it, and the house was divided to the newly raised flag Wang San'er.

Zhang Zhongqi rushed to pat the door of the main house before Cherg, and the door opened as soon as it was shot, and after the door leaf slowly opened, Zhang Zhongqi stared at the scene in the main house.

Wang San'er and his woman shrunk together and leaned against the grain cabinet in the main house, holding two children in their arms, the four of them were skinny and motionless beside the grain cabinet.

Zhang Zhongqi trembled and stretched out his fingers to probe his nose, the four of them were already dead, the corpses were already cold, and then looked at the grain cabinet, there was not even a grain of grain left, and the family was starving to death.

They have starved to death a lot of people, Zhang Zhongqi relied on the things he stole every time he went out on an expedition, saved a lot of silver taels, barely dragged over the food shortage, and it was a very happy thing to be able to eat half full every day.

Wang San'er has just raised the flag, has no savings and drags his family, and his situation is much worse than Zhang Zhongqi. Houjin's coat can have its own family, but the children can also be regarded as the master's coat, and they can also have a small amount of assets, not belonging to the kind of complete slaves.

Now when such a famine comes, the price of grain has risen to more than six times that of normal days, not to mention the coating, even the Zhenyi of their cattle have starved to death, and many Zhenyi families do not have much money, and those who should be out of food are also out of food, and no one will pity them, and wealth is still rapidly concentrated in the military aristocracy.

Seeing that Wang San'er was dead, Cherge scolded loudly, summed it up in the same place, and saw who else in the Ding mouth under his control could make up the coat, and went out of the door, leaving Zhang Zhongqi alone in this empty courtyard.

Zhang Zhongqi had long been accustomed to life and death, and soon recovered. He squatted down and kowtowed to the corpses and said, "Brother Wang San'er, don't blame me for not lending you food, I don't have much left, if you give it to you, my family will starve to death." I'm not going to eat you anyway...... I've never eaten anyone, but I can't make sure that anyone else wants to eat you, so I'll bury you again at night, so that no one will see where you are buried and dig you out. If you die, you will die, don't come to me in the future. ”

After he finished speaking, the room was quiet. After all, this is not a battlefield, and there are various voices on the battlefield that can distract him, and Zhang Zhongqi is a little flustered by this quiet and gloomy environment. Hurried out and went home.

As soon as he entered his yard, he immediately felt a lot more relieved, and quickly closed the door, his son's cry came from the house, Zhang Zhongqi's sluggish face floated a smile, he looked up slightly at the blue sky above his head and muttered: "You want to go to Shenyang to be a Han soldier?" It's been a good day...... Huang Shan's stay is good. Maybe he should go, maybe he has starved to death, I don't know how he is, is Dengzhou really as good as Bai Youwu said? ”……

"This is the Ah Nose region!" Huang Shan's whole body collapsed on the bed and wailed.

Tang Wei drooped his head on the bed opposite him, they had been training for nearly two months, and the intensity was getting stronger and stronger. I ran twenty miles today.

Tang Wei had participated in the suppression of bandits in Henan and knew the usefulness of a rapid march, but it was really difficult to run and walk twenty miles like this. I heard that tomorrow I will have to march 70 miles with armor on my back, and the recruits have no armor, so they use stones to put in their backpacks to simulate the weight of armor.

The endless queues, preaching, and physical training every day, and the empty gun operation of the musket were so practiced that he wanted to vomit, and he was now completely disgusted with the barracks. The beautiful autumn Red Army uniform no longer looks pleasing to the eye.

But at this time, if you want to go, you can't go, and if you slack off, you will be beaten. At the beginning, I used a bamboo whip, and after the weather was a little cooler at the end of August, I added clothes, and the bamboo stick was replaced with a short wooden stick, and in the winter, I had to change the military stick, and it hurt even more to fight, at least Tang Wei's butt had been injured many times.

Xie Fei next to him said exhaustedly: "Damn, there are still two hundred times to stand up at night, my whole body is falling apart, how can I move." ”

Tang Wei glanced at Yuan Guzi in the middle of the room with resentment, that kid was not yet seventeen, he was an orphan and a homeless person from Henan, he was lucky to be selected to be Yuan Gusheng's adopted son, and joined the army as soon as he finished studying at Tunpu School, and he didn't know if he was brainwashed by those instructors, he listened to the instructors for everything, and he didn't discount at all, and he even had to denounce those who were lazy. So with this inside overseer, they can't get lazy at night to avoid those two hundred prostrate and stand up.

Light on the upper lip of the beard, his name is Peng Yunfei, he is a person from Ao Shanwei, his family is a fisherman, although he has no money, but he has no less meat, and he looks like five big and three thick. Although he didn't know Tang Wei before, the two were fellow countrymen and had almost the same accent, so although they weren't in the same team, they quickly got together.

He whispered to Tang Wei: "Fatty, do you still have cigarettes?" ”

Tang Wei said impatiently: "No, the last time I bought it was drawn, and now I don't have the time to buy it." ”

"Saying that someone over there in Shilian has bought it, and you can go there to buy it, it is to pay a high price."

Tang Wei glanced at Yuan Guzi's side, "Do you dare to go out, when I was traveling on a long-distance cross-country road today, Lao Tzu took a shortcut, and was denounced by Yuan Guzi's dog." ”

Peng Yunfei grinded his teeth a few times, "Lao Tzu has also been sued by him twice, we can't bear it, Lao Tzu beat him early in the morning in his hometown." ”

Xie Fei next to him hurriedly came over, "That's it, how do we clean him up." ”

Tang Wei rolled his eyes and beckoned to Huang Shan, Huang Shan had already heard it, he waved his hand and said, "Don't call me, I'm afraid that the instructor will turn around and clean up." Don't go, the penalty for beating up your teammates is very severe. ”

Peng Yunfei grabbed Huang Shan and dragged him over, and scolded him in a low voice: "If you don't participate, you won't have your cigarettes in the future, and you won't have your share of alcohol." ”

Huang Shan thought for a moment with a sad face and nodded, the heads of the four people were clustered together, Peng Yunfei turned his head to look at Su Thick Leg who was next to him, and Su Thick Leg pretended not to hear.

Tang Wei said in a low voice: "Don't pay attention to him, let's ...... at night......

The night in the barracks was quiet, and even those who had been training at night had already slept, only the sentries on night duty and the patrolling guards were still walking around, and it was pitch black everywhere.

The soldiers in the barracks of the 13th Company had already fallen asleep, and the soldiers were very tired from the intense training, and the snoring in the room was like thunder.

Several black shadows quietly got up from the long kang, Peng Yunfei was closest to Yuan Guzi, he touched next to Yuan Guzi's pillow, after the four of them were in place, Peng Yunfei grabbed Yuan Guzi's quilt violently, and covered his head, and the other three people beat Yuan Guzi without saying a word.

Yuan Guzi was suddenly beaten by someone in his sleep, and he screamed in panic, and most of his voice was absorbed by the quilt, turning into the tone of the urn.

Several black shadows punched and kicked, Yuan Guzi was kicked by his big feet again and again, and the basin and rice bowl placed at the end of his feet were kicked properly, and several teammates around who were awakened sat up in panic and asked loudly.

Tang Wei and the others hurriedly pressed Yuan Guzi's feet, and Xie Fei finally punched Yuan Guzi's stomach, causing Yuan Guzi to curl up, unable to even make a sound.

Tang Wei and the three of them took the opportunity to jump off the long kang and crawled back to their position along the middle passage in the dark, Peng Yunfei, who covered his head, punched Yuan Guzi's head again, and took the opportunity of Yuan Guzi's dizziness to turn around and rush back to his bed.

At this time, most of the people in the room woke up, Yuan Guzi gasped a few times, and moaned loudly again, Tang Wei, Huang Shan and others were all on their beds and asked, "What's wrong!" What's up! What's wrong? ”

The people in the house went to find the fire, Wang Zhanqing said loudly: "Don't move, don't fuck, Lao Tzu goes to find the fire, don't talk, Wu Chang points his own people, and agrees first when he gets out of bed, whoever gets out of bed will beat whom." ”

Xie Fei coughed and began to take a roll call, Huang Shan and Tang Wei both agreed loudly, and the room was constantly called and promised for a while, at this time, the door banged, and the two lanterns rushed in quickly, and the night patrol base townsmen came in and shouted loudly: "All quiet, no noise after the night rest!" ”

The room immediately fell silent, these recruits have been frightened by these soldiers and instructors since they entered the base, and the tricks of corporal punishment are also strange, Tang Wei was even punished to squat on the four feet of the upside-down stool for half an hour. Now as long as the instructor says it, no one dares to discount it, including Wang Zhanqing, who claims to be not afraid of fighting.

Instructor Liu Liu came quickly, he asked Wang Zhanqing what happened, Wang Zhanqing was sleeping in a daze at the time, and it took a while to figure out where to completely restore.

Liu Liu came to Yuan Guzi with a lantern, only to see that Yuan Guzi's face was swollen, this Yuan Guzi often reported that his teammates were lazy and the like, Liu Liu actually didn't like this kind of complaint too much, but he couldn't say it as an instructor. Today, it is obvious that those teammates are taking revenge on this Yuan Guzi, fights and brawls are common in the army, as long as they are not crippled and killed, in the end, they will be over, and those who are beaten deserve it, but that is the barracks, and this revenge of the recruits is to challenge the authority of the instructor.

Liu Liu asked coldly, "Do you know who hit it?" ”

Yuan Guzi gritted his teeth and looked back and forth, shook his head and said, "I don't know, they hit me with my head, and they didn't make a sound, I can't speak." ”

Liu Liu shook his head in his heart, this Yuan Guzi is really honest, and he won't even make false accusations. Tang Wei and Huang Shan in the corner exchanged glances proudly.

He had to ask, "Didn't see anything at all?" ”

"I didn't ...... Didn't see it. ”

Liu Liu straightened up, looked up at the roof, and finally looked at Wang Zhanqing, "Since I can't find anyone, I can only do this." Except for Yuan Guzi, the whole team ran ten laps of the school field and stood up on the ground 200 times. Wang Zhanqing had no way to lead the team, so he was removed from the post of captain, and Yuan Guzi served as the captain from today. ”

"Ahh Tang Wei opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but make a sound.

The whole room was stunned, Liu Liu ignored them, and shouted, "Get dressed and set off immediately!" ”

The two townsmen immediately pulled out short wooden sticks, and the shadows in the room were shaking, and everyone began to dress quickly, Su Thick Legs leaned over while getting dressed, and scolded Tang Wei in a low voice: "You dogs have made Lao Tzu miserable, and there will be another time Lao Tzu kicks you to death." ”
