"So... You say, what the military department said in the text is true, we have really restored the civil registration..? ”

In the Kaiping Wei in the past, there has never been such a scene today.

Everyone's mind is not as good as it used to be...

There are joys, there are complications, and some people are shocked by such news, and they can't let go of it for a long time.

Niu Erxi is one of them.

After confirming the identity of the herald, he undoubtedly carried the same confirmation of the authenticity of the soldier's writings.

The content is gratifying, but it's also extremely impressive.

It was difficult for Niu Erxi to accept such a result.

After all, in his eyes, his father died for the imperial court and resisted the attack of Mongolian spies.

And himself, if there is no accident like today, it stands to reason that he should have the same life trajectory as his father.

But now the court is a piece of paper.

disrupted all Niu Erxi's plans for the future.

It also made him feel that all this was a little unreal.

At the beginning, Niu Erxi felt that the officers of the guard could reduce some rents and commissions, and leave more food for their families, which was happiness.

Later, the imperial court sent someone to arrest all the people who were in charge of the original guard, and the man told Niu Erxi.

"In the future, you only have one thing, that is, to be optimistic about this Kaipingwei for the emperor, and someone will send you military pay and materials on time in the future."

The man was not lying.

Only a few days later, a team of mule carts pulled a large amount of grain, vegetables, a few pigs, and dozens of chickens and ducks to the guardhouse, pointing to these things and telling Niu Erxi that someone would come to deliver them when they were about to finish eating, so that they should not feel distressed and guard the guard.

and also repaid all the military salaries owed before in one go, and even the original stewards were greedy for ink.

This is the first time Niu Erxi knows that he was a military household. For the country, there is money to take.

That day, he held the silver and didn't close his eyes all night.

Niu Erxi felt that if this kind of life could continue forever, he would lose his life for the court, which was also worth it and happiness.

But today, he was completely confused.

The herald walked quickly, and many people in the guard were forced to accept this fact, although they were just as confused as he was.

In fact.. Nor was it forced.

Everyone knows that military registration is not as good as civilian registration, after all, with the name of this military household, you have to serve as a soldier in the imperial court for generations.

Niu Erxi knew that this was the best result for the old people in the health center who had gray sideburns and had already suffered a lot of illnesses.

There are also many slightly younger military soldiers, who are thinking about how much silver they can receive at that time, and when the time comes, they will go home and find someone to talk to the matchmaker, and if they can start a family again, it will be worth a lifetime.

But Niu Erxi, who is less than 20 years old this year, doesn't know what he should do after receiving the silver.

Go home?

The home is long gone.

There are few military households in the guardhouse, and they are said to be military households, but in fact, they have gradually become extinct.

Who doesn't know that this military household is all strudgery with their heads hanging on their belts and hungry every day, and no one wants to live a hard life.

No one will be willing to send their daughters to the guard to suffer.

The next day.

Niu Erxi, who hadn't slept much all night, was a little tired during the day, but he didn't waste time, after all, it was almost time to start the meal, and if he missed the time, he had to wait for the noon meal.

He didn't want to sleep anymore, and he didn't want to eat less.

...

Snore.. Snore.

Niu Erxi pulled the noodles in the bowl hard, and the oily fried sauce was mixed with the slightly yellow white noodles, which tasted excellent.

It's just that he eats and eats and finds that something is not right.

Squatting in the corner to eat, he raised his head and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anyone coming over to compete with him for the few meat grains in the bowl like usual.

Instead, they are all eating the rice in their bowls.

From time to time, some people raise their heads to look at the sky, and some people just sigh but don't move their chopsticks much.

The meal was quickly served.

Niu Erxi's evaluation of today's fried sauce noodles is: "It's not as fragrant as the one I ate a few days ago." ”

The time was fast, and the afternoon arrived.

Kaiping Wei came with a long convoy of mules and horses, accompanied by a company of the 1st Division of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army.

The establishment of the first division of the border was actually set up by Zhu Youzhen, and it was reorganized from the five divisions that were established at the end, and gradually entered and took over all the border guards and checkpoints of the Ming Dynasty.

The uniform military uniform, the musket in his hand, and his energetic face all made Niu Erxi a little confused, of course, he was not alone.

"The First Division of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army will take over all the garrison military affairs of the Kaiping Guard Station from now on, and the original sergeants will be reorganized on the spot and returned to their hometowns and repatriated according to regulations.

The leading company of the Heavenly Tiger Army read aloud this brand-new military department in the guardhouse.

Niu Erxi understood, because he listened very carefully, for fear of missing any of the words.

But when you get your money after queuing up to register.

Niu Erxi came last..

It's not that he doesn't like money, it's just that he wants to be later.

First of all, give this opportunity to the soldiers in front of you who are in a hurry to get the money and go home.

The speed of receiving the money was also very fast, and the military department took out the bottom book of the register that it had made for the guards.

I remember clearly what year I entered the guard and what year I started to serve in the army.

Occasionally, if there is an omission, as long as there is the testimony of the people around you, you can also send silver by pressing more handprints.

Niu Erxi looked at this scene, and felt very uncomfortable, because he might be the only one in the entire Kaipingwei who didn't know where to go next.

Finally, it was his turn.

It was a soldier of the Heavenly Tiger Army who was responsible for distributing the money, and Niu Erxi keenly felt that the other party might be about the same age as himself, not too much.

I only heard him say to the booklet in his hand: "Niu Erxi, Kaiping Weijun household, officially registered in the army at the age of fifteen, stationed in the guard post for four years and eight months, and issued a military allowance of seventy-four dragon yuan. ”

With that, the soldier looked up.

looked at Niu Erxi with a smile on his face and said, "Is there something wrong?" If there is a gap in time, you say I will change it. ”

Niu Erxi shook his head, in fact, he didn't know how long he had been here, and when he began to be counted as a soldier who could participate in the war in the guard.

I just know that from the moment I was born, I was in the guard, and the farthest place I have ever been to in my life is another guardhouse.

He led the horses of the officers who had gone to another guard house for a banquet.

"No.. No problem. ”

"Okay, then make a handprint here, and someone next to you will give you silver." The soldiers of the Heavenly Tiger Army still had a smile on their faces when they spoke.
