In the river, Shi Yong, the general of Shi, sat quietly behind a table with charcoal and paper sandwiched between bamboo pieces. In this big room, there were more than a dozen people sitting, all of them were sharp soldiers of the back army.

Shi Yong was originally a captain in the Sixth Regiment, but now when he came to the Beiwei Army, he became an ordinary side player again. Not only him, but many veterans who had participated in previous battles were called to the Beiwei Army for retraining.

Since February, the new blood of these backswainers has been rotating every day. The morning drill was the lightest, just to review the formation, spearmanship, knife skills, and coordination with the commander as a unit.

Eat at noon, and after eating, the most painful thing for these military men begins: literacy.

The goal of each person is to know 500 characters, and the Song style that was common in this dynasty must be able to read, and the "italic cursive script" invented by Hu Jiangzhu must be able to write. Ten Protestant words a day, the next day will be reviewed, and those who can't write dictation will be copied a hundred times.

Write a thousand words with a reed pole, in the first few days, I can't even hold a pen, and Shi Yong has the heart to die. But he remembered how he signed the bet before he betrayed the army:

At the beginning, it was the Sima of each regiment and the various guards of the city who gathered all the meritorious soldiers under their command, and happily told everyone: Everyone has made meritorious contributions, and the generals mainly promoted everyone, so let's go to the Beiwei Army, and then come out of the Beiwei Army, which is the official master.

Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Ma Lin, Yang Lin, Ou Peng, Deng Fei, Tao Zongwang, Jiao Ting, Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Shi En, Xue Yong, Shi Yong, etc., all went to the Beiwei Army training, and the first meeting ceremony was the training commander, and the head of the sect, Lin Chong, personally took action, taught each thorn a good lesson, and then signed a gambling contract with everyone.

For example, Shi Yong, if he can complete the training, he can get a reward of ten yuan, if he can't complete the training, then he will lose his sister to the army.

My sister is Shi Yong's only relative, and she was reunited by luck after being separated in a catastrophe, and Shi Yong must not export her sister. But Shi Yong was born in the rivers and lakes, even if he is not afraid of the sky and the earth, he will never dare to rely on the gambling contract.

In this way, there is only one way left in Huashan, no matter what kind of difficulties, Shi Yong gritted his teeth and persevered, so as not to lose his sister. Every day after dinner, Shi Yong repeatedly reviewed the new things he learned today, and after it got dark, Shi Yong lay on the ground bunk, still silently reciting all the words he had learned in his heart before sleeping.

And every day, it is even more terrible to study: arithmetic, addition and subtraction within a hundred. Fortunately, the topics that are reviewed every day are not very difficult, and as long as everyone can figure out the date of the march and understand the records of various types of grain and military supplies, they are considered qualified.

The evening is a rest time, but since the review the next day, the evening has become a self-study time for everyone. Every newcomer in the Beiwei Army has signed a gambling contract and bet on the most important things for themselves, some are relatives, and some are heirlooms.

It's already April, and the training of Shi Yong and others has been going on for two months, and today is the final exam.

Under the examiner's order, Shi Yong grabbed the reed pole and began to answer the questions. In addition to the reed pole, which is still a little unaccustomed to use, and it takes one time to dip it in ink to write a word, Shi Yong feels that the topic is very simple: write the military discipline silently, but it is only about 200 words. In addition, I wrote any new words I knew until I wrote 500 words.

Shi Yong had already silently finished writing the three disciplines and eight points of attention, at this time he raised his head and saw Mu Hong scratching his ears and cheeks in front of him, and only wrote a few strokes on the scroll for a while, Shi Yong smiled secretly in his heart: It seems that your ancestral field of the Hedong tyrant brothers can't be saved.

Mu Chun and Mu Hong brothers are the heroes of Hedong Daizhou, although the manor was broken by the Jin soldiers, but the field deed is still on the body, and the bet on this training is the Tian deed of the Mu family.

Shi Yong retracted his thoughts and began to think about what to write with a few hundred words? He thought that his sister had already bet on him, so he wrote about his sister and pleaded with the examiner.

He dipped the reed rod in ink and was about to write "My sister, beauty too." "Immediately felt wrong, what if I wrote my sister too beautifully, what if the examiner wanted to detain my sister, and it was rumored that the only evil deed of the general was lust.

The ink on the reed pole had dried, and Shi Yong dipped it in ink again, and wrote: "My sister, my dearest." ”

Shi Yong felt that he was also very awkward, and he didn't take the test anyway, so he simply wrote it in the way he spoke daily.

"My sister, my dearest, when I was ten years old, my mother gave birth to my sister." Shi Yong is a native of Hebei, and he is used to calling himself "I", and he repeatedly uses "I" here, just because I have few strokes.

"When I was a child, I carried my sister on my back to work, and when I practiced martial arts, my sister watched from the sidelines. My sister was seven years old, and she herded cattle for her lord. Later, when my sister grew up, the lord first wanted to buy her with money, but my mother didn't sell it, so the lord put the money for the seal to my family, and when my family really couldn't afford it, the lord would catch my sister to pay off the debt. I had no choice but to kill the master, and the government came to arrest me, so I fled to Liangshan and followed Brother Song to live happily. ”

"Brother Song later voted for the official, I went home, and after a few years, the gold thief came, my grandmother fled with my sister, I guarded the house by myself, and later joined the army, and there has been no news from my grandmother. Thanks to the call for the lord to collect the displaced people, my sister found Cangzhou and met with me. ”

"I can still see my sister, my brothers and sisters have food, all of them are blessings from the general, and my sister will be relied on when she marries in the future, and my life will be sold to the general."

Shi Yong counted, and there were still a few crosses away from five hundred words, so he continued: "I also want to marry a daughter-in-law, pass on incense, and in the future, the whole family will give their lives to the general." ”

Now there are still seven words left, and Shi Yong originally wanted to write "Long live the general". But knowing that this was a taboo, he counted with his fingers, and there were still two words missing, so Shi Yong wrote: "The Lord will never die." ”

Having completed the task, Shi Yong now has time to observe his companions.

On his right is Xue Yong, this old partner is a good martial artist, but it is difficult to succeed, and he is known as a sick worm. He must get ahead, holding the reed pole in his hand, stroke by stroke, as if to pierce the paper.

Shi Yong looked to the left, he was a guard from the disgusted side, and he had no face. He was born in the forbidden army, one move and one style, his skills are more solid than Shi Yong, and he is invincible in the camp, Shi Yong admires him very much.

Jiao Ting's posture of holding the reed pole also seemed to be similar, writing in an orderly manner, it seemed that he was sure to pass the test.

Behind Shi Yong, the three from left to right are Ma Lin, Ou Peng, and Tao Zongwang. The three of them were originally the heroes of Huangmenzhai, after the Jin soldiers went south, Zong Ze recruited the rebels, and the three of them burned down the cottage, led the minions to the Daimyo's mansion, and were under Suo Chao's hands, fighting bravely, and this time they were also selected.

Shi Yong was complacent and observed the people around him who were taking the exam, and suddenly the examiner who was patrolling began to whistle: "It's been a whole hour, hurry up and hand in the papers." ”

Shi Yong whistled, stood up, and handed the roll to the front row. He passed by Zou Run, who was sitting in the first row, Zou Run hadn't finished answering, and was desperately rushing to write, the examiner collected all the papers, came to Zou Run's side, pulled the corners of the papers, and pulled them out.

Zou Run pressed the scroll hard, "My lord, general, teacher, I'm just a few words away." Zou Run pleaded. The examiner had a cold face and continued to draw the papers: "If it is torn, there will be no points." Finally put the roll away.

Now that it's time for Shen, everyone is free to move around and relax their shins. Writing 500 words is more tiring than fighting a day's war.

At the end of the Shen period, the results began to be announced, and one point was deducted for each wrong word, one point was deducted for every word missing, and forty points were deducted for failure.

Every time the examiner pronounced a name, the passer waved his fist and rejoiced, although he felt that he had done well in the exam, but it was related to his sister's fate, and Shi Yong was also uneasy. When the big concept reached more than a hundred names, the examiner read: "Shi Yong." ”

Shi Yong let out a low roar, a smile on his face.

After reading the list of passed, only Zou Run and more than ten others did not pass. Zou Run plopped down and knelt down: "I am willing to make cattle and horses for adults, I just ask adults to let me take the test again, the ancestral treasure knife can't be lost." ”

Ma Lin didn't pass either, he shouted: "This flute is a gift from the master, I am willing to hand over a hundred pieces and keep this flute." ”

Others pleaded.

Zhang Xian, who presided over the exam, shouted: "What are you waiting for?" Is it waste paper? This is a military order. ”

Shi En served as the head of this training command, and according to the arrangement given by the examiner, he took the lead in shouting: "They are all robes that were born and died together, please give them another chance." ”

So all the candidates shouted in unison to intercede.

Shi En took the lead and knelt down on one knee: "The little one is willing to give these brothers a chance with a small merit." ”

Others also learned to be gracious and bowed down on one knee.

Zhang Xian made them kneel for a while before shouting: "The general has clearly ordered that no kneeling and worship in the army is allowed, are you blatantly violating the order?" ”

Shi En and the others had no choice but to stand up stupidly. Zhang Xian nodded: "Since everyone is pleading, you will write down the right to the object you lost in betting, if you behead the third level within this year, you can win the object back, if not, Hugh blame will be ruthless." ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Xie Sima." ”

Zhang Xiandao: "After completing today's exam, you will pass the literacy level." ”

Everyone cheered, Zhang Xian waited for everyone to be quiet, and then announced: "Starting tomorrow, we will do marching training." ”

Tao Zongwang shouted: "We are from Zhuanghu, what is the difficulty of marching." ”

Zhang Xian was furious: "Do you know how to set up camp, how to avoid ambushes, how to look at the map, how to draw the map?" Whoever makes any more noise, get back to me. ”

Just as he was about to announce tomorrow's training plan, a fast horse came and told him to hurry to the pacification department.

Zhang Xian arrived at the pacification division and clasped his fists and saluted, because Hu Yangeng had abolished the kneeling ceremony.

Hu Yangeng saw that everyone had arrived, and he was simple and direct: "After so much thought, Du Chong still dug the Yellow River for this stupid shortage." ”

Now one monthly pass is two, if you have more than one monthly pass, you can support it, thank you
