Chapter 148: Fighting for Profit
Brother Rundong's stature is taller, but he has been immersed in reading before, his body is still like a scholar, and he has not been in the barracks for a few days, and his body still doesn't look strong at the moment, and the wide officer wears a fan on him, just like a costume like a singing opera.
"Ling Feng, Xiao Sheng, Xiao Feng, you're all here! Brother Rundong was very excited, and he flicked his wide sleeves to greet us.
"Brother Rundong looks very powerful in a military uniform!" Xiao Feng responded with a smile and a hypocritical heart.
We wiped our noses and didn't expose him, because Rundong looked like he was feeling pretty good.
Brother Rundong greeted him with a smile, and then said hello to the guards at the door and led the three of us into the barracks.
Laughing all the way, I haven't seen everyone for a month talking about the interesting things they have encountered in these days, and they naturally chatted happily.
This barracks is supposed to be some of the abandoned school buildings temporarily requisitioned by the Changshengsha defenders, and although it looks clean now, the broken bricks and tiles on the barracks and the barren grass that have just been cut can still reveal the past here.
When I arrived at the barracks dormitory where Brother Rundong was, this room was very similar to our school dormitory, it was a very large room, and it was full of bunk beds, but they were neater than our student dormitories, and there was a row of weapon racks at the entrance of the room, on which a row of regular military long knives was placed vertically, and the cold light was shining, which gave it a solemn atmosphere, and it looked like a barracks from here.
At this moment, it is estimated that it is the relationship in the afternoon, the other soldiers have already gone out, and there is only Brother Rundong in the room alone, and his bed is also stacked neatly, which is obviously different from Brother Rundong's informal personality in the past, it seems that Brother Rundong has changed a lot after coming to the barracks.
Of course, I saw a thick stack of newspapers next to Brother Rundong's pillow, which proved that Brother Rundong still had the habit of buying newspapers.
"Brother Rundong, aren't you already a magic apprentice, why didn't you enter the magic boot camp?"
Xiao Sheng obviously noticed that there was no white cloak behind Brother Rundong's military uniform, and there was no magic wand on his weapon rack, which proved that he was not a magic recruit, so he asked curiously.
Shrugging helplessly, Brother Rundong pursed his lips and said with a little frustration: "My mana is still too low, even with the help of a staff, my magic is not enough to push that big arrow with a hat, so the instructor of the magic boot camp said, let me stay in the ordinary barracks for a while, practice for a while, and then join the magic boot camp when my mana can push the magic arrows." ”
"Oh, isn't there a lot difference in income between ordinary recruits and magic recruits?"
Although he was a little regretful, Xiao Feng still had a bad smile on his face at this moment, and he knew from his expression that he obviously had other plans.
Brother Rundong, a nerd, didn't think so much, nodded heavily, and answered Xiao Sheng's question seriously: "Well, we ordinary recruits give 8 silver coins a month, while the magic recruits give two and a half gold coins a month, a difference of more than three times, hey! However, this barracks is packed with food and shelter, and the 8 silver coins I gave me are enough, buy some books and newspapers every month, and there are still leftovers." ”
"Brother Rundong now has an income, he has to treat us to a big meal tonight!" Xiao Sheng licked his lips and smiled and finally said his purpose.
Brother Rundong is not a person who values money very seriously, so he said indifferently: "No problem, just say what you want to eat." ”
"Braised Demon Dragon Meat!"
"Dry stir-fry the tip of the ice phoenix wings!"
......
The things we want to eat are naturally scared half to death of Brother Rundong, and we have only heard of these things, but we have not eaten them yet.
After laughing for a while, I chatted with Brother Rundong for a while, at this time, I suddenly remembered the death of the new provincial governor Jiao Xin, which caused a lot of sensation in Changsheng Shacheng, and I was still worried about what impact this incident would have on Brother Rundong, so thinking of this, I asked Brother Rundong in a low voice: "I heard that Master Jiao Xinjiao was killed, how did he die, do you know, will this have any impact on you?"
This is a very sensitive question, especially in the barracks, hearing my question, Brother Rundong immediately put away his previous happy expression, did not answer my question, but first turned his head around the barracks and looked around, his expression looked very nervous.
Seeing this, the three of us were puzzled, and Xiao Feng asked even more eagerly: "What's the matter? Is there anything inconvenient to talk about?"
After repeatedly confirming that there were no other people around, Brother Rundong whispered to us: " Jiao Xin's death is likely to be done by the rebel army insiders, I heard that the internal strength of our Xiangnan Provincial Army is very complex, divided into many factions, and Jiao Xin after knocking away the governor of Yu Province and announcing that he became the provincial governor, a few officials who followed the uprising were not satisfied, thinking that the official positions given to them were too low, so those people colluded with other groups of people, and took advantage of the opportunity that Lord Jiao Xin sent his own personal guards to support Wu Shengchang, and those officials united and suddenly killed Lord Jiao Xin. ”
"What? These sons of bitches raised them, and now everyone is still fighting with the court, but these guys are killing each other first, it's really too much. Xiao Feng immediately stood up angrily and reprimanded loudly.
"Shh
Xiao Sheng immediately stopped his younger brother angrily, lowered his voice and said very seriously: "It's in the barracks now, don't talk nonsense." ”
Xiao Feng immediately closed his mouth.
The room was quiet for a while, and when they heard this result, everyone's mood was obviously very complicated.
After thinking about it, I feel very helpless, in fact, I think that the emergence of this situation is something that will inevitably occur when the uprising develops to a certain stage.
Now it can be said that the momentum of the national uprising has been set, the trend has been formed, the imperial court has shown signs of defeat, and the rebel armies everywhere are no longer worried about the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, so the internal contradictions of the rebel army are naturally exposed, and the army in many places is hastily raised, and many new provincial governors have never held such a position as provincial governors before, and if they are suddenly pushed to a high position, they will inevitably have many things that are not handled well, which will cause many contradictions.
And from another point of view, among the people who believe in these rebel armies, there are not a few people who are confused, and there are many people who take advantage of the chaos to raise troops, just to seek some personal interests, but this is understandable, there will be such people in any era and at any time. Don't talk about others, just talk about myself, the reason why I hate myself for being ten years late is that I still want to be a marshal, and even want to be king. Including the fact that the uprising of the whole country went so smoothly was not because the imperial court violated the interests of the majority of the people and betrayed the interests of the country, so the whole country rose up to resist in unison, so it is not realistic to fundamentally prevent all those who are fighting for interests from participating in the uprising.
Therefore, when the post-war benefits were unfairly distributed, all the contradictions were revealed.
There was even such a thing as Xiangnan Province, where the problem of the distribution of benefits was solved by force.
In short, it's chaos now.
Glancing at Brother Rundong with a solemn expression next to him, then I remembered that there are still some people who are not fighting for interests, such as this one, he is definitely fighting purely for the honor of the Shenghua Empire, and he will do it if he doesn't give him money!
Seeing Brother Rundong, I thought about it again, I was afraid that Brother Rundong would be dissatisfied with what the officials above had done, and I was afraid that he would be indignant about the fight of the officials above, he was in the barracks, if such a thing made a big fuss, he might lose his head at any time, I was busy comforting Brother Rundong and said: "As long as these officials are still standing in the ** camp, so that we can still help the people of the Shenghua Empire to get out of the control of those * corrupt officials in the imperial court." ”
Nodding slightly, looking at Brother Rundong's lowered eyes and solemn face, he also knew that he was very helpless and melancholy, although he would be very impulsive in some things, but as long as it was something he thought about carefully, he would also deal with it calmly and thoughtfully, and after sighing, he said wistfully: "Well, I think so too." ”
Obviously, Brother Rundong also understands that some things are very dangerous and cannot be touched, he has read a lot of books and understands a lot of truths, so he naturally knows the importance of some things.
"Brother Rundong still has the habit of taking notes!" Xiao Feng obviously didn't want everyone to talk about such a solemn topic anymore, he suddenly pointed to Brother Rundong's newspaper and said.
"Hmm!" Brother Rundong nodded proudly.
We'll start talking about something else about that
