Within three miles, there must be a fort, and the forts are connected, so that the twenty-four forts are surrounded by a circle, forming a dense protective circle, and outside the fort, there are reclaimed farmland

Not far away, there are lakes and rivers, and canals have been dug and there are waterwheels to lead the stream

At this time, outside the door, eleven horsemen galloped at full speed, and these horsemen, their hair tied in a bundle, wearing leather armor, armed with swords, and carrying bows and arrows on their backs.

The leader, wearing iron armor, Chinese New Year's Eve, rode forward.

When they arrived five miles away from the fort, the eleven slowed down, and looked at the distance on their horses, and saw a group of fierce cavalry, patrolling here, and a caravan, obediently following the route, to be inspected.

"Brother Zhao, this is the governor of the Ying Ce ride, the Lord has an order, those who cross the line for thirty miles on the trade route are all barbarian people, everyone can be killed, and those who kill will get half of the goods, even the Ying Ce ride is no exception, so no one dares to cross thirty miles." Behind the leader, a young man spoke.

"Wu Yu, then we may join it in the future?"

"Yes, Brother Zhao, this is the meaning of the killing barbarian ordination order, divided into the old and weak and the strong, the old and weak, the three heads are worth a strong youth, the Han nationality is not counted, the horses are seized and brought back to a strong man, and the acquisition is given, big brother, I have killed five brute, brought back five horses, it is already a Wu Chang waist card, oh, big brother, the killing barbarian ordination order, just above the big wooden plaque in front of the fort, and you can also buy printed rice paper, here, let's get off the horse!" This Wu Yu said.

Brother Zhao saw that he had indeed arrived in front of the fort, so he dismounted, got off the horse, and he stepped forward, and sure enough, he saw a big wooden plaque, which was engraved with the text - the order to kill the barbarians

After a cursory look, the man stared at the reward below.

Kill one person, and be awarded the position of regular soldier, with which you can join the army, and the first level will be rewarded with ten stones of grain, or five taels of silver

Kill three people, and give the post of jīng soldier, with which you can join the army, and the first level will be rewarded with ten stone of grain, or five taels of silver

Kill five people, confer the post of captain, and then you can join the army, and the first rank will be rewarded with ten stones of grain, or five taels of silver

Kill ten people, give the post of fire chief, with which you can join the army, and the first level will be rewarded with ten stones of grain, or five taels of silver

Kill 20 people, give the team a positive, and lead the nine rank of the officer, with which you can join the army, enter the martial arts hall for training, or be the deputy inspector of the local county, and you can also enter the shogunate

Kill 30 people, if you don't join the army, you will be granted a place to inspect from Jiupin County, or reward good fields, a song to ten acres of land, and give the county the number of soldiers, see the county order can not worship, but also enter the shogunate

The above feats can be accumulated

This person looked at the team Zhenghe County Patrol Position, and then looked at the words of ten acres, and finally fell lightly on the three words of the martial arts hall.

The long wind came slowly, blowing people's clothes, this person suddenly laughed, and said: "Go in front, Wu Yu, you lead the way!" ”

The laughter attracted the attention of the archers on the fortress, but after a few glances, they seemed to be indifferent, these rì people came, and there were many such people.

The eleven horsemen all carried weapons and horses, so they naturally had to register, but Wu Yu showed the waist card of the captain of the army, and the soldiers who immediately checked it were a little polite, and after registering, they were able to enter it.

In the center surrounded by many fortresses, there are already some large and small houses scattered, sparsely distributed, and also form large and small streets and alleys, led by Wu Yu, until they reach a big mansion, and when they enter it, they can see an official, and the official uniform is marked with the appearance of Zhengjipin.

Eleven people had long known that this was Zhang Chengzhen, the counselor of the shogunate army, so he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and this Zhang Chengzhen lightly called them up, and then asked: "Who is coming?" ”

"Zhao Ying, a native of Yonghe County, Xiangyin County, Hexi Province, Chinese New Year's Eve, good at riding shè!" This Brother Zhao hurriedly reported it, his tone was respectful, but his heart was like water.

In the era of peace, how difficult it is to be an official, the officials have been occupied by the people of the imperial examination, not to mention the Jinshi, this lifter, this showman, all occupy more than nine important positions.

Even if the martial arts are outstanding, but in his hometown, he is at most a county catcher, and he may be a head catcher if he climbs for more than ten years, and he is only from the Jiupin inspection (director of the county public security bureau), which is already a position that most martial artists can hope for in their lifetime.

Although this barbarian appointment order also has limitations, at most, as long as the army leads a team of 50 people, or goes to the county for inspection, but for many people, they are not afraid of hardship, they are not afraid of difficulties, but they are afraid that there is no chance.

The eleven people in the back also reported their names one by one, and the official recorded it, and said: "As long as you kill one person, you can have a waist card, and the meritorious deeds will be recorded on it in the future, go down now, don't get right and wrong, otherwise, the military law here is strict, but it can't be spared!" ”

All eleven answered and withdrew.

Seeing them leave, the official yawned and said to a person sitting next to him drinking tea, "Brother Yan Han, you have been waiting for a long time." ”

This Yan Han was wearing a Tsing Yi Confucian shirt, showing that he was talented, tall and heroic, and with the air of an article, but at this time he was thoughtful, and said: "This method, take it from Qin, take it from Hu Ling, and take it from Tang Taizu County Scholar...... So are these martial artists many? ”

Zhang Chengzhen looked at him, lowered his voice and said: "One rì up and down, a few people, more than 30 people, but no more than half of those who can survive three games!" ”

Yan Han's eyes sparkled, and he said, "Oh, those who can come back will be a tiger!" ”

"However, the barbarian division was originally fierce, and the defense was not deep at the beginning, and ordinary soldiers could also fight the grass valley, but now, the barbarian division is in front, and he has also gathered jīng to ride, so attacking, non-superior warriors can not do it, I have 60 million people in Dachu, and I have the strength to fight the lion and tiger, so Zhang Bang asks for soldiers, these rìzi come, but there are also many people who rush to fight for fame, and these people, jīng in the art of attack and killing, there are many people who are beheaded and returned, and they are immediately reused, and suddenly change from a white body to an official body!"

Yan Han was stunned, he thought about it carefully, and said: "Then these rebellious people can be restrained? What if there is a jiān? ”

"This lecture on martial arts is to let them be familiar with military law, and learn the art of war, and the law in the army is strict, those who do not obey the constraints are self-defeating, they really don't want to be subject to military law, they can be transferred to the county to serve, otherwise, they can also get the fields and beautiful houses, and the shogunate also has arrangements, as for the jiān, they have their own people to deal with it." Speaking of which, this Zhang Chengzhen closed his mouth and refused to say any more.

Although this Yan Han is his good friend, some of the roles of the martial arts, as well as the enrichment of the shogunate, and the infiltration and control of the existing army, are all internal secrets, and now I can only talk about it here.

Yan Han is also a smart person, so he didn't ask much, but he was shocked in his heart, according to what his old friend said, this year, there were hundreds of thousands of people who joined Li Rui's account, and this shogunate was indeed a dragon and a tiger.

However, this topic cannot be penetrated, but it can be asked in other aspects, so he asked: "What about the barbarian side?" ”

"Our records show that more than 600 people have died, but there are as many as 2,600 of the heads of the barbarian division in the register, most of them are strong and young, this number is already very considerable, you must know that now the barbarian division is in the former, it is the barbarian king's own soldiers, and its department is only 20,000, which is simply removed."

"Can there be Han people?"

"It's very difficult to kill good and take advantage of the merits here, five households and one army, ten households and one fire, five fires and one team, five teams and one battalion, one battalion and one fort, all of them live in the fortress, it is difficult to start, as for the Han people on the barbarian side, they are also different from the barbarians, and their heads can be argued - even if there are a few people who are similar to barbarians, there is nothing to be done."

Yan Han nodded, and had a new estimate of Li Rui's shogunate in his heart, in the past year, 20,000 households in Tuntian can increase by 20,000 soldiers, and there are these jīng sharp tiger ben people as the backbone of his henchmen, and the 100,000 troops under his control have become the climate. ”

Yan Han was stunned and asked, "Don't you want to be in the office?" This is not far away, but it is also a hundred miles. ”

"This is a frontier place, there are many wars, and our civil officials and their families are all in the Guannei, so the adults are allowed to take five days off in January, and you can get five days off, and you can get half a month's vacation in March, and you can visit your family members as long as you go back and forth, and after reporting your official business, you can also enjoy the joy of family Lun - a little later, it is my half-month vacation, and Brother Yan can go back with me in the official car."

Yan Han listened and smiled, at this time, it was almost noon, Zhang Chengzhen said again: "Brother Yan, wait a while, wait a while, it's noon, just dine with me." ”

Yan Han said: "I had a lot of wine yesterday, so I'll go to myself today and go out to have a look." ”

So after saying a few words, Yan Han said goodbye, and not far from the street, it was the tuntian, except for the fortress, there was no city, it was the cultivated field.

At this time, it is the autumn harvest, some of the newly cut fields have exposed the land, and some are still golden and heavy, and the households of the military tun have been dispatched in a big way to harvest.

Yan Han stared at the old and high piles of grain in his field of vision, as well as the brilliant golden, and his heart became heavier and heavier.

The government of using soldiers is nothing more than a grain field, with sufficient grain, this land has a strong strength, and it can be self-sufficient from [m.], and after walking a few steps, he saw the peasants and soldiers in military uniforms helping to harvest, he stood and sighed: "Hey, this place has become a domain!"
