Chapter 6: 100 Households

The gang of outcasts immediately became honest and retreated one after another.

Many of those who rushed forward were inevitably beaten with sticks, grinning in pain, but they did not dare to cry out loudly, because the rebels were also shouting loudly.

It seems that the Chinese people don't like to queue up, which is the same in ancient and modern times. Yang Xin is a modern person, after all, he has a university education, so he didn't go with the crowd to cut the queue at the beginning, and he also pulled Luo Er's family who hurriedly stepped forward, and the five of them lined up honestly, so they escaped.

The soldiers who surrounded them were all driven to the back to line up, Yang Xin and the others lined up in front instead, more than a dozen crooked lines lined up to receive food, and after about half an hour, it was Yang Xin's turn, and the princess was behind Yang Xin.

I saw a large group of soldiers in front, a group of more than a dozen people, distributing food to each team. There were many soldiers in the back, who were busy pulling over the truckloads of food.

A thin old man, holding an old smoking gun in his mouth, stared at Yang Xin with a pair of thin eyes, and scolded: "You stinky boy, you didn't even bring a grain bag when you came to receive food!" ”

turned around and said to a half-sized boy on the side: "Second baby, give him a grain bag, and give him a whole bag of finished ones!" ”

He couldn't stop muttering: "You people are really lucky, you want us to follow the king to fight the world, go south and north, how many days have you eaten a full meal?" I don't know how many people starved to death! You people from the capital, as soon as you come, you will meet King Chuang to open a warehouse and release grain, but you must remember that King Chuang is good, don't be that white-eyed wolf! ”

Yang Xin didn't know what to say, so he took the grain bag with a smile and said thank you.

The old man scolded again: "Stinky boy, get out of here, follow King Chuang to eat, and don't be bullied, but remember!" ”

"Gotta ...... Another one without a grain bag! Don't you know that there are not enough food bags now? ”

Behind is the princess, and she naturally does not have a food bag.

Naturally, the old man's verbosity was indispensable, and the princess had no choice but to follow Yang Xin's example, make a fortune in a muffled voice, receive the food without a word, and then smile and say thank you.

This bucket of grain is not heavy, more than ten catties, it is effortless to carry it in your hand, and when the princess received the grain, Yang Xin took it and lifted the two bags together.

After a while, Luo Er's family in the back also received food, the family was happy, they brought grain bags in the baggage, Luo Er rushed over to find Yang Xin, "Let's go, Brother Yang, let's go to the army, and there is a military salary of five taels of silver!" ”

The two quickly took the princess and Luo Er's wife and children to the next door to line up.

There are obviously a lot fewer people in line here, only five columns, and the number of people in each column is not too large.

Like them, all of them were waiting on the side, all of them were enthusiastic, gearing up, and excited.

After a while, Yang Xin was lined up, and he saw a row of improvised tables lined up in front of him, and in front of each column, there were three soldiers, one of whom looked like an officer, sitting at the table.

Before it was Yang Xin's turn, a soldier stepped forward, groped carefully on Yang Xin's body, and said loudly: "Take two steps and see!" ”

Yang Xin was shocked, he couldn't imagine that the righteous army recruited soldiers and did a simple physical examination, just groping on himself, obviously to see if he had a disability, is this even a person who has crossed in the Dashun army?

Yang Xin had to take a few big steps according to his words.

The officer in front of him praised him again and again and asked, "What's your name?" What for? Where is my hometown? ”

Yang Xin hurriedly put on the fake resume he had prepared and said, "My name is Yang Xin, my hometown is in Guqiao Village in the west of the city, and I am a tenant in the village. ”

The officer nodded and smiled: "It seems that the harvest in your village is good, and you are not hungry yet." ”

Yang Xin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that what he made up did not have loopholes, and he was the favorite tenant of the righteous army, the only exception was his body shape that was incompatible with the peasants of this era, where did the ancients have such a good nutritional supply for modern people, and this body shape was naturally very different.

I had to make it up: "The villain has been hunting in the mountains since he was a child, and he can catch a lot of meat when he goes into the water to fish, but Guqiao Village is located in a remote area, there are few families, and he has not been affected by military disasters and bandits, so he has not been hungry and thin." ”

The officer didn't think much about it, just nodded and asked again, "How old is it?" How many people are in the family? Also, why did you join the Rebels? ”

Yang Xin was in a cold sweat again, he didn't expect to ask so many questions when he joined the peasant army.

The previous one is easy to answer, but why did you join the rebel army? I really don't know how to answer.

Suddenly, I had an idea, remembered the words of the old man who gave out food just now, and hurriedly said: "I am 22 this year, I have been an orphan since I was a child, I have food to eat when I join the righteous army, and I am not bullied. ”

The officer was very satisfied with Yang Xin's answer, nodded and said: "The answer is good, King Chuang is here, you tenants don't have to pay grain in the future, you have joined the rebel army, and the future is immeasurable. ”

At this moment, Yang Xin was so shocked that he couldn't even close his jaw!

Unexpectedly, the first time I joined the army, I didn't say a word, and I was blocked from 100 households!

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry over and sign the pledge, receive the military pay and weapons, and wait on the side, and someone will take you to the barracks in a moment. ”

The officer looked at Yang Xin, who was stunned, and urged.

Yang Xin had no choice but to walk over, draw a circle on a piece of paper with his name, and the soldier handed over a piece of broken silver, which was originally five taels of silver, and the hundred households also added five taels, which was ten taels of silver. He gave him a spear and a small wooden sign, and commanded him to line up beside him.

The people in the procession were in high spirits, and all those who seemed to have come passed through. Yang Xin looked at the wooden plaque in his hand suspiciously, and saw that it was engraved with the words "100 Households of the First Battalion of the First Battalion of the Dashun Army, the Third Small Banner of the Third Hundred Households", and his name was written with a brush at the back, which was written by the officer just now.

Obviously, the wooden plaques were carved a long time ago, and it seems that these rebels are still very organized, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

It's just that this weapon is indeed a little cold, a spear, the spearhead is still rusty, and the wooden pole is even a little moldy, and fighting with this is not much better than bare hands.

But it's still good, at least it's still iron, and most of the people in the team get wooden sticks!

At this moment, Luo Erxing, who had just finished signing up, rushed over to line up and laughed loudly at Yang Xin: "Brother Yang, I'll just say that your body is too wasteful not to participate in the righteous army!" ”

Luo second-hand held a spear as bad as Yang Xin, held a wooden card in his palm, and said proudly: "I didn't expect to be named a hundred households just after joining the army, it seems that this time I am really lucky!" Brother Yang, I see that you seem to be literate when you just signed up, help me see what is written on this wooden sign? ”

Yang Xin was taken aback again, took the wooden card, and read: "The first post of the first battalion of the Dashun Army in the North Day, the fourth small flag of the hundred households" turned over the wooden card, and then read "Luo Xiaofei".

Another hundred! The hundred households of this righteous army are too worthless!
