Chapter 349: Zheng Xiaoqi
Time: July 23, the fourth year of Xuanhe.
Location: Anxi County, north of Pingzhou Prefecture, that is, the Tangshan Qianxi area of the modern plane.
Under the bright sunshine, a thirty-two-thirteen-year-old man wearing a Song military red jacket stood up on a big tree and looked carefully into the distance for a while.
After making a fork hand salute to his new boss, the man said respectfully to the group under the tree:
"The head of the song, if it's small, it's right.
Twenty or thirty miles ahead, there is the Great Wall left by the old man; If it is a little more past, it is the boundary of Zhongjing in the former Liao State and Tanzhou in Dadingfu. ”
In the midst of such a proclamation, the singer can't remember how many times he was laughing, and he cursed in his mouth:
"Zheng Xiaoqi, you bird, didn't Lao Tzu tell you many times, everyone will be a brother in a horse spoon in the future, and you don't have to be so polite when talking to each other.
Wen Crepe, you bird-like and spicy look of a fighting man, do you still want to take the test for a show? In the future, I will speak more simply, if I do something wrong, I can directly learn from Hu Biao to scold the street. ”
After hearing the singer's contented rude words, the others around him burst into laughter on the spot.
"Okay, I'm listening to the songs~" Scratching his scalp a little embarrassedly, the man known as Zheng Xiaoqi immediately agreed so simply in his mouth.
It's just that regardless of the scolding singer or Zheng Xiaoqi himself, both of them know that the next time the two deal with each other, this thing will be so polite.
The reason is very simple, Zheng Xiaoqi is a surrendered soldier.
One initially took refuge in the battle of Haiyang City, first took refuge in the Jurchens, then fell into the hands of the Xuan Ge camp, and then continued to take refuge in Hu Biao, who had surrendered to them in just a dozen days.
Hu Biao and their reasons for absorbing these Liao soldiers are also very simple.
The remaining 400 or so people in the Xuange battalion need to be under the pressure of the Jurchens, and the strength of the troops is still a little worse if they hold Haiyang City.
Therefore, it is quite necessary to absorb the 180 captured Liao soldiers.
It's just that because of the problem of trust, these troops are basically placed in Haiyang City as a garrison, only Zheng Xiaoqi is a little special because of the situation.
For example, not only are you good at riding, but you are also familiar with the terrain of the Northland.
So after the mission requires, he was absorbed into the team that didn't collect at night.
Because more than 20 days have passed since the battle in Haiyang City today, for some reason, Hu Biao and others have not waited for the Jurchen soldiers to kill under Haiyang City.
Originally, when they were seriously considered, this was a good thing, as it would give them more time to prepare.
The question is, Hu Biao, how can they be in their hearts, inexplicably they are a little flustered.
In such a situation, Yu Hanfeng and the singer, the two leaders and vice-leaders of the Xuange Battalion, have an important task.
Specifically, they led a team that did not collect at night.
He probed all the way to the north of Pingzhou, trying to figure out what kind of plane Yan Lou was doing, could it be that the second son's revenge would not be avenged, and the huge Pingzhou would not be wanted?
In such a situation, Zheng Xiaoqi, the one who surrendered to the army, followed the Xuange camp who did not accept the deputy head singer at night.
I traveled nearly 200 miles and came to my current boundary.
Wrong! The above statement is not so accurate, because the saying that the night is not harvested seems to have begun to exist in the Yuan Dynasty.
During the Great Song Dynasty, they were also called Tanma.
Actually, it doesn't matter what it's called, you just need to know what it means......
******
Shaking his head, it is estimated that it will take a while for Zheng Xiaoqi and these soldiers to surrender before they can really let go of the estrangement in their hearts and completely integrate into the mind of the Xuan Ge camp.
Looking up at the sun in the sky, it was already hanging in the middle of the sky, and it was time for lunch.
The singer immediately put in his mouth and issued a string of commands:
"Now is the time when the sun is at its strongest, and everyone has two quarters of an hour of rest; Go to the perimeter of two people to be on guard, and the rest of the people hurry up to feed the horses and eat some dry food~"
Under such an order, all the scouts were busy.
Zheng Xiaoqi, who is quite familiar with all this, is also proficient in leading his war horse, which has been sweating profusely for a long time, to the shade of a big tree.
First, he used a brush to brush away the sweat on it, and then fed a lot of water with a little salt, so that the war horse could quickly cool down.
Otherwise, if the war horse can't heat up well, it will be a huge harm to the body.
In the following time, a small bag full of soybean meal was hung directly on the horse's mouth, so that the war horse could quickly replenish its strength.
It wasn't until he served his partner-like war horse that Zheng Xiaoqi began to take care of himself.
He took out a dry biscuit that was larger than his face from a small bag hanging from his horse, and began to eat and drink with boiled water.
The others present, including the singer, the deputy head of the horse, did the same.
The bread was very hard, and even in order to save the little food at hand, a lot of green barley was added from the muddy wheat fields outside the city in the process of making it.
In short, such a toss makes people feel a little strained after eating it in their throats.
But when eating this kind of unpalatable cake, Zheng Xiaoqi felt quite satisfied.
On the one hand, the heavy rain at the beginning of the month doomed most of the crops in the Northland to be wiped out this year, and I don't know how much the entire Northland will starve to death in winter.
Coupled with the chaos of war, there are wars everywhere.
As long as you can have a bite to eat without starving to death, it is already a great thing for the bitter haha people who survive in the Northland, where can you pay attention to whether it is delicious or not.
On the other hand, don't look at Zheng Xiaoqi calling this name, there are 6 brothers and sisters on it.
But none of them can grow up, and they die early.
Even since he was seventeen years old, after the only old mother in the family died of illness, Zheng Xiaoqi, who began to serve as a soldier, can already be regarded as an old bachelor.
originally thought that in this life, he was destined to die.
Since joining the Xuange camp, I now have some hope of starting a family and passing on the lineage.
It was a woman in the city who was called Widow Zhang, and the man was trampled to death directly after being knocked down by a galloping war horse when the Jurchens first attacked Haiyang City.
Let's be honest! The woman was rough and pockmarked and pockmarked in her face, and she also had a son and a daughter and two oil bottles under the age of ten.
It's just that for Zheng Xiaoqi, it's good to be able to marry a daughter-in-law, where can there be so many sayings.
Even when he thought that he could live a life of his daughter-in-law and children on the kang in the future, Zheng Xiaoqi couldn't help but feel very hot in his heart.
Thinking about taking a good look in the Xuange camp, after saving his own Hu Xuanzan's salary for three or four months, he married the widow.
Just like this, he is willing to praise Da Song and Hu Xuanzan and offer his loyalty.
The only thing that made him a little criticized was that there were too many rules in the Xuange camp.
In the past, when they were soldiers in the Great Liao Kingdom, they drank water on weekdays, and as long as the corpses of people and animals were not thrown in the well, they directly hit them and drank them directly.
Or just lie down on the river and drink like a big animal.
In the Xuange camp, Dr. Ali solemnly explained to everyone that they must maintain hygiene in order to do so, and if it is not an emergency, the water must be boiled.
If there is a violation, the first time the five army sticks will be beaten, the second time will be beaten with ten army sticks, and the third time will be directly expelled from the Xuange camp.
Zheng Xiaoqi, the military stick, saw that the other Liao soldiers had been subjected, and after the iron-beaten man was beaten by the five military sticks, they all lay on the bed and hummed when they set off.
Such a strange military discipline really made Zheng Xiaoqi, who is also a veteran oilman, very unaccustomed to it.
I don't want to taste the taste of the military stick myself.
However, in addition to these, Zheng Xiaoqi was quite satisfied with the Xuange Camp and the Great Song Dynasty; However, he soon learned that the benefits of Da Song were more than that......
