Chapter 240: Old Oil Soldier

Liaodong, Liaoyang City.

Liaoyang City is one of the border cities to resist the invasion of the Jin army, the city is high and thick, there are many border troops stationed in the city, there are more people, and there are many shops, and the merchants who are good at capturing business opportunities can still make a lot of money in the troubled times.

Before, most of the shops outside the city were eight families, after being raided, all the family property was confiscated, naturally including the branches opened in various places, the big eight collapsed, and the shops were seized, but the business in Liaoyang City was not affected much, you fell, and there will be another big businessman to take over immediately, and the money-making business is not afraid that no one will rush to do it.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and in the same way, where there are people, there are various service industries, such as restaurants, inns or something, and of course fireworks and willow lanes are indispensable, but that kind of place is a place where the rich man can go to the gold kiln.

Liu Dagui was originally a hunter, who used to make a living by hunting and selling animal skins and meat, and was later forcibly conscripted into the army by the government, and mixed in the nine-border defense line for more than five years, and was able to mix in the war-torn nine-border defense line for more than five years without hanging up.

The Son of Heaven set up a hunter battalion and recruited people with good marksmanship in the world, Liu Dagui was quite talented in shooting, playing with bows and muskets, and soon became a hunter battalion sniper who made all soldiers and grassroots officers envious and jealous, and then assigned to Liaoyang City.

The treatment of the snipers of the hunter battalion is not much to say, they are also the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, but they are several times better than the Jinyiwei and the three major battalions, and the grassroots officers of the border army are several streets, and all kinds of things are given priority to supply, and they enjoy all kinds of privileges.

After winter, the Jin army outside the city retreated to their nests to avoid the cold, and the soldiers stationed at the border pass also got time to rest. In early spring, when the snow and ice melted, the roads were muddy, and it was not conducive to war, but the border troops could still enjoy a peaceful life.

There are two groups of snipers assigned to Liaoyang City, Liu Dagui is the team leader, when there is no war, you can enjoy 8 days of vacation per month, in fact, snipers do not have to carry out various exercises like ordinary soldiers, quite a lot of them will touch the gun, practice marksmanship, the training is leisurely so that all the soldiers are envious and jealous, but unfortunately their marksmanship scum can't be a sniper, and not every soldier has the opportunity to touch the gun, the garrison of the entire Liaoyang City is only equipped with more than 300 muskets, of which more than 100 are still the old style of bird guns, the explosion rate is high, There are only about 200 high-quality Lu Mi guns in post-production.

The sniper's military salary is high, and it is paid on time, never in arrears, and usually idle eggs, after Liu Dagui has silver in his pocket, this heart also began to become restless, and finally one day was dragged into Lichun Pavilion by the sisters who were dressed up in tricks, and a kiln sister named Xinghua got along.

Liu Dagui's family is poor, and there are several brothers, naturally he is an old bachelor who has no money to marry a daughter-in-law, after he and the Xinghua girl in Beiqu got along, he really wanted to marry Xinghua as his wife, and planned to save money to redeem Xinghua, so that Xinghua was moved, and served him wholeheartedly like a wife.

Liu Dagui had long regarded Xinghua as his daughter-in-law in his heart, and told her everything, including some military secrets, but fortunately he was just a sniper and could not participate in high-level military meetings, and he didn't know how many specific defense contents, and there were not many military secrets leaked.

On this day, it was Liu Dagui's turn to take a vacation, he went out of the camp early in the morning to the street, bought a bead flower for ten taels of silver in the jewelry shop, and then ran to Lichun Courtyard in a hurry, thinking about the apricot blossom snow-white and soft carcass, such as the enthusiasm of fire, his heart was hot, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, and finally survived this long night.

Liu Dagui used to go to Lichun Courtyard and was cautious, with a guard, but now the guards don't need to bring him, he is already a frequent visitor to Lichun Courtyard, those bodyguards saw him, they all respectfully respected him Liu Ye, and the girls were all kinds of seductive eyes and flaming red lips, but unfortunately he only had one apricot blossom in his heart.

Liu Dagui didn't go through the door, at this time, Lichun Courtyard hadn't opened yet, and the bodyguard guarding the back door saw him and called Liu Ye coming, so he opened the door and invited him in.

Liu Dagui rushed upstairs and entered Xinghua's room, Xinghua knew that he was coming, not only dressed himself up in a showy manner, but also prepared a table of good dishes.

Couples in love don't see each other for a day, such as every three autumns, the monkey anxious Liu Dagui hugged the apricot blossom and gnawed wildly, and then let go of her, and took out the bead flower he just bought from his arms, "Apricot blossom, for you, do you like it?" ”

"I like it." Xinghua said happily, rouge gouache jewelry is the most recent of all ancient women.

Xinghua took the beads, played with them for a while, and asked Liu Dagui to help her plug them in, and then took his hand and asked, "Did you bring something?" ”

"Brought, the lady ordered, how dare the husband disobey the order, be careful, this thing is expensive, if it is broken, it will lose its head." Liu Dagui lined up with a big mouth, and learned the story of the scholar flirting with the girl told by the storyteller, and carefully took out an oiled bamboo pipe from his arms.

This is a monocular concocted by Zhu Jian, also known as a clairvoyant, in addition to the high-ranking officers, commanders, and scout teams responsible for reconnoitring the enemy's situation are qualified to equip them, and only the snipers of the hunter battalion can equip them.

The standard establishment of the hunter battalion is two snipers and one escort as a group, equipped with two rear-loading sniper rifles, two monoculars, according to the regulations, guns and monoculars are not allowed to be carried out of the camp, but Liu Dagui, as the leader of the sniper team, ignored this military regulation and took the lead in violating it.

In the early days of the formation of the hunter battalion, the entire Ming Empire only made up more than 50 people with good marksmanship, which was a treasure bump in Zhu Jian's heart, however, old oil soldiers like Liu Dagui had been contaminated with too many vices in the old army, and relying on their own shooting talents, they were unwilling to learn and progress, and there was a possibility that some soldiers who had not yet been infected with bad habits could be brought down.

Liu Dagui and other old oil soldiers are righteous and self-pro-army of the Son of Heaven, enjoy all kinds of special treatment, and the commander is taken care of as a baby, and it is inevitable that all kinds of expansion, although they dare not disobey military orders clearly, but they can always find various reasons to prevaricate, if it is not for the more enemies they shoot, the more military merits they earn, I am afraid that they will not even want to go to the battlefield, engage in some things that steal chickens and dogs, and violate some military regulations that are not serious.

Dripping water into a river, some small things accumulate a lot, and after getting used to it, the big things are naturally not afraid, carrying a clairvoyant mirror out of the camp itself is a big deal, but this guy is not worried at all, Xinghua is his daughter-in-law, what does it matter to play with his daughter-in-law? God knows, he doesn't say it, Xinghua doesn't say it, who knows?

Regarding the speed of the update, Uncle Wolf can only say sorry.
