Chapter 111: The Bitterness and Happiness of Military Life The two children high-fived as an alliance
Jin Tong and Jiang Jun have nothing to do in the Quanzhou military camp, and Zhen Guogong did not bring them to join the army, but just let them experience military life, get up every day listening to the morning number, and follow the soldiers to morning exercises, they can't keep up, and no one cares about them, they can run a few laps and stand a few pillars of incense, it all depends on their own self-consciousness.
Eating is also eating a big pot of rice in the barracks, at the beginning the two of them can't eat, but there is no snack to eat in the barracks, hungry a few meals are fragrant, and no longer care about the image of their noble sons, with a rice bowl to grab food, their small arms and legs, can not rob these rough men in the barracks, but they do not need to train, after a few losses, they do not wait for the whistle, it is estimated that when the meal is reached, they will go to the stove camp with the rice bowl, and the veteran in charge will scoop more meat for them.
Jiang Jun and Jin Tong were both seven or eight years old when they were cats and dogs, and no one cared about them in the barracks all day long, so it was inevitable that they would want to have something to do, and it was a daily compulsory course to go to the sea to play in the water, and there were sergeants guarding the shore of the boat, marking out a safe area, and they could only play in the waters where the soldiers were trained, and someone came to catch them when they swam away.
It's not enough to just play in the water, they want to go out for a walk, they haven't experienced the customs of Quanzhou, but the food here is not delicious, the clear soup and little water can fade out of a bird, they want to go to the street to find out if there is a restaurant with a heavy taste, a full appetite, and then see if they can meet the blonde and blue-eyed Westerners mentioned in the book, learn a few words of foreign language with them, and go back to show off with relatives and friends.
Zhen Guogong didn't have time to take them out to play, let them go out by themselves, he didn't worry, these two people are valuable, after all, this is the boundary of Chen Guo, and it is a mixed coastal area, that is, they are in the military camp, and it is also in the camp where the Great Zhou army is stationed.
Jiang Jun has no heart and lungs to think about having fun, the golden boy is more stable than him, in the morning when the sun is not scorching and follow the soldiers to the morning exercise, after the sun is up, he retracts back into the camp tent and does not show his face, sits in the camp tent to read and write and review his homework, and when he arrives at the meal, he will take a rice bowl to eat, and after eating a nap, it is really hot in the afternoon, and he has no heart to write and paint, the two of them lie on the mat and roll and chat, and go to the water in the evening, and go to the stove camp to eat before dinner, and take a bath in the clean water after eating, and sleep until dawn.
As soon as such days passed, the golden boy was happy, but he often thought of the personnel in Beijing, he promised to bring gifts to his sister, and he didn't know when Zhen Guogong would be busy and could send people to take them out for a walk.
Jiang Jun said that he was bored and bored, but in fact, he was also used to such days, and said to the golden boy: "When we grow up, we will come to crusade against Chen Guo, and plant this territory with the flag of our Great Zhou, let's be stationed here in the future, defend against the invasion of the water bandits, keep one side peaceful, watch the sun go out to sea in the morning, and watch the fish leap in the evening, isn't it good?" ”
The golden boy thought about this scene, he and Jiang Jun stood on the warship armor in the general's robes, the sunset on the sea at dusk was like melting gold all over the sea, and the salty sea breeze brought gulls to chirp, if they could be here all the time, it would be good.
"It's very good, then let's decide, let's fight against Chen Guo together in the future."
The two high-fived as an alliance, Jiang Jun said: "I will definitely follow the old path of my father and eldest brother in the future, everyone in our family is going to go to the battlefield, but the people of your family are very expensive, will the emperor let you come to war?" ”
"I'm not my father's own son, I'm his adopted son, he raised me to grow up, I should have repaid him, as a child of the clan, isn't the best way to repay him is to go to the battlefield and make military achievements?" He can't go to the imperial examination or go to business, so what else can he do except serve in the army?
Jiang Jun nodded in understanding, "That's great, in the future, we will join the army together, and we can support each other, and next time my father takes me there, I will call you, let's experience together." ”
"Why don't you call Ah Yu them?"
Jiang Jun said: "Ah Yu is different from you, Ah Yu is also the son of the Guogong Mansion, can you use my father to take him?" His family will naturally prepare resources for him, and so will Ah Qin, but you have no one to plan for you. ”
Jiang Jun always can't speak, Jin Tong listened to it this time, but he was more moved than annoyed, it turned out that Jiang Jun said this in the school, it was specially said to him, Zhen Guogong was afraid that he would not be willing to take him this oil bottle, then Jiang Jun may have been scolded by his father again.
Zhenguo Gong was busy with the naval battle for about a month, and after the Haikou retreated, he took care of some logistics before he had time to take Jiang Jun and Jin Tong out for a walk.
Jiang Jun and Jin Tong are both a little stunned Zhen Guogong, they don't dare to buy anything after him, Zhen Guogong is also very uncomfortable, the eldest son is precocious and rigorous, he follows him to do the right thing when he is young, and he has never been greedy for fun, but now he goes out with his young son, the small one is restrained, and the old one is not comfortable.
"Hongyuan, you take your younger brother and them to go shopping, and I and a few of your uncles go to the teahouse to sit down." They really don't know how to take their children, so let the eldest son take them to play.
Jiang Ji obeyed the order, brought a few retinues, and led his two younger brothers to separate from his father.
The golden boy breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiang Jun was not much better, in his eyes, his father and eldest brother were carved out of a mold, and he didn't dare to say a word of in front of his eldest brother.
"Brother Jiang, I want to buy some pearl coral and bring it back to the palace for the queen mother and sisters, do you know where the pearls are better?"
Jiang Ji nodded, took them to a sea treasure market, and introduced them to them: "There are pearls sold everywhere along the coast, but the real pearls are in the hands of pearl farmers, they live by the sea, and when the weather is good, they will dive into the water to catch pearls, some pearl merchants will buy their pearls at a low price and sell them to the Central Plains at a high price, but if these pearl farmers catch really good pearls, they will not easily sell them to those pearl merchants." ”
If they catch good pearls, the pearl farmers will treasure them, and they will have the opportunity to go out in the future and sell them to high-ranking households, or when dignitaries like the golden boy come to find the pearls, they can also sell.
The golden boy nodded as he listened, and asked impromptuly, "Are there many fishing villages here?" Can I go and see it? I want to go pearl fishing and pick up shells, but I have more pearls than I buy them, right? ”
Jiang Ji frowned: "There is danger in fishing for pearls in the water, not to mention that those aquatic plants will entangle people, even the living creatures in the sea are also dangerous, some fish can eat people, and sea snakes will bite people, and some experienced pearl farmers have died at the bottom of the sea, not to mention you children, you must not risk yourself." "If it weren't for the fact that life was not easy, who would want to do this kind of business in the wind and waves.
Jin Tong was obedient and didn't go, Jiang Jun secretly pouted, he knew that if he followed his father and eldest brother, he didn't want to play anything, and when he had the opportunity to come here by himself in the future, he could go wherever he wanted, so that he would not be controlled by them.
