At dusk, the camp in Lizhou was already dotted. Except for the sentry posts patrolling back and forth in the camp, there was silence in the camp.

The lights were dim and unclear, and on the notice board at the gate of the camp, the military orders for overseas operations were faintly visible.

Overseas operations, the duration of which is from 10 months to 1 year.

The settling-in allowance for a sergeant is 200 yuan, and the officer is automatically promoted to the next level.

Died in battle, 400 acres of bereavement, 30 acres of land, and no taxes.

Disability, 300 pensions, 15 acres of land, never tax, choose their situation to settle and work.

Those who return safely, in addition to the reward of 200 yuan, will also be promoted and rewarded.

…………

"Zhang Zhongxia, Vice General Zhang, let's fight side by side with our brothers!"

In the Lizhou camp, in the barracks of the Chinese army, Yu Jue looked at Zhang Zhongxia at the table, nodded, and said softly.

can train as a deputy general on Lizhou West Road and Lizhou Battalion, train well, and take the initiative to invite Ying to fight in Western Xia, and even without mobilization in the army, he is really a fierce man.

"General Xie!"

Zhang Zhongxia saluted, turned around and left, walked to the gate of the camp, and passed by Sun Du, who came in with excitement on his face, and couldn't help frowning.

This powerful son of Lin'an City, flamboyant, is he also going to Western Xia?

"Lao Yu, do you think this kid Zhang Zhongxia is a little similar to my eldest brother?"

Cao Youwan looked at Zhang Zhongxia's back and said sincerely.

"It's very similar! However, your eldest brother is elegant, and this kid is reckless. It's all macho men. ”

Yu Jue nodded, raised his head, and his face became serious.

"Next!"

Zhang Zhongxia came out of the Chinese army camp worriedly, looked up, and couldn't help but be stunned.

In the night, Li Siyu was dressed in a military uniform, carrying a medicine box, dressed as a military camp medical officer.

"Zhang Zhongxia, have you already decided to go to Western Xia?"

"Yes. There will always be people who will charge into battle and sacrifice their lives for the country. ”

Zhang Zhongxia stubbornly returned, and looked back cautiously, there were officers coming in and out of the camp, watching the two of them pointing.

Obviously, when they went to fight in Western Xia, the generals enthusiastically signed up, and the vast majority of them were not just for the promotion of officials.

"Zhang Zhongxia is a comrade in the army, so you don't need to hide from me. I went to fight in Western Xia, take care. I wish you success and a triumphant return soon. ”

Li Siyu said calmly, his body was still pretty, but his expression was serious, and his eyes were much firmer.

"Li Siyu, thank you. A few of you female students are in the northwest, so take care. ”

Zhang Zhongxia was surprised by Li Siyu's change, and then suddenly brightened.

After a whole year of studying and practicing in Jinling's martial arts hall, Li Siyu is no longer the Li Siyu of the past.

Of course, he Zhang Zhongxia is no longer the Zhang Zhongxia of the past.

"Zhang Zhongxia, I heard that you have resigned as a general, and you are only willing to start as a deputy general. Isn't that an extra step for you? ”

Li Siyu wanted to speak and stopped, and Zhang Zhongxia replied, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Li Siyu, I, Zhang San, used to be just a scoundrel in Lin'an City, and being able to be a deputy general is already a great emperor. If I don't go to Western Xia, who will go to Western Xia? As for the deputy general, let's wait until after the achievements of the Western Xia. ”

The emperor's kindness, the affection of support, and the righteousness of teachers and students, he can only make contributions, otherwise whether it is a deputy general or a general, his heart is not steady.

"Zhang Zhongxia, I wish you good luck, make contributions as soon as possible, and get what you want."

Li Siyu turned around, walked a few steps and stopped.

"Zhang Zhongxia, Shi Huiyu and I have decided to go to Lizhou West Road to work. I'm in Chuzhou City, waiting for you to come back. ”

After Li Siyu finished speaking, she quickened her pace and left, Zhang Zhongxia looked at her departing back, and was stunned for a while, then lowered her head and walked in another direction.

After a day of training and just after dinner, the soldiers who were already preparing to fall asleep were now talking in a low voice in the barracks, completely ignoring their exhaustion.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves. When the military order to fight abroad was issued, the officers and men in the army were all throbbing.

Zhang Zhongxia entered the barracks and couldn't help but be surprised to see that almost all the sergeants had gathered together and had not yet fallen asleep.

"Brothers, after a long day of drilling, aren't you tired?"

"General, you talk about Wutang in Jinling, and then tell your brothers."

Soldier Zhao Fu said with a smile, and the other soldiers gathered around one after another.

"Jinling talks about martial arts, Wang Gui has said it dozens of times. I don't think you want to hear Jinling talk about Wutang, but about going to fight in Western Xia. ”

Zhang Zhongxia glanced at the soldiers, smiled, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Needless to say, it was a military order to go to Western Xia to fight, which made the Lizhou camp uneasy.

"General, I heard that you also enlisted in Western Xia, is it true?"

Zhao Fu continued to ask.

"Yes, I have just signed up, and the rank has been promoted from deputy general to full general."

Zhang Zhongxia said lightly, he didn't look at the soldiers, picked up "Tatar Strategy" to watch, no longer angry, and whetted the appetite of the soldiers.

Today, several of them have signed up to fight in the Western Xia, and everyone has been automatically promoted by one level.

What makes him faintly uneasy is that some people's purpose is not simple, they are not to make meritorious contributions and serve the country, but only to be promoted and make a fortune.

"General Zhang, we just want to know, are those settling-in allowances, pensions, land grants, or anything true?"

Sure enough, the soldiers couldn't bear it anymore and urged Zhao Fu to ask questions.

"The military order at the gate of the camp is clearly written, how can it not be true."

Zhang Zhongxia put down the book, raised his head, and solemnly said.

"The settling-in fee is 200 taels per person, and it will be delivered to each of your homes. 30 acres and 15 acres of land are irrigated. Brothers who died in battle, the land will be distributed to your parents, wives and children. Disabled brothers, the army will try to give you something to do. ”

Zhang Zhongxia said it in one breath, looked at the soldiers, and carefully observed their reactions.

The children of poor families don't care about their own life and death, just to have more money to reward, which is sad, why can't they ask?

As a student of the first phase of Jinling Lecture Wutang, a protégé of the Son of Heaven and an old man of the emperor, he came to Shukou after graduation, and naturally wanted to make contributions. When he went to Western Xia, of course, he signed up for the first time.

Unlike these ordinary soldiers, he doesn't care at all about settling in expenses, granting land, etc., he has his own ambitions.

"General, we also want to go, but I'm afraid that what we say won't count when the time comes."

Zhao Fu said with a hippie smile.

For Zhao Fu, who was born in a poor family, of course he knows what he needs.

A settling-in allowance of 200 yuan, 30 acres and 15 acres of land, and a pension of 300 yuan and 400 yuan are definitely a huge amount of wealth for a poor family.

And Zhao Fu's words also represent the voices of most ordinary soldiers in the barracks. Life is difficult, everyone is not afraid of death, but they don't want to die in vain.

"So you're worried about that. His Majesty personally asked about the expedition, who would dare to deceive? ”

Zhang Zhongxia suddenly realized, shook his head, and then said:

"All the brothers who went on the expedition will receive 200 yuan for each person, and they will be sent to their homes before the expedition. Granting land and pensions, written in black and white, can't deceive people. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, let me say, you don't want to join the army at all. ”

Zhao Fu and the others were embarrassed and laughed awkwardly.

It is said that the new emperor loves the people like a son and specializes in killing corrupt officials and corrupt officials. The emperor personally asked, naturally it was impossible to be fake.

"Brothers, listen to me."

Seeing that the soldiers were moved, Zhang Zhongxia was serious again.

"When you go out to fight, you may have to die a lot of brothers. Ugly words are ahead, you can't work hard, you go to the battlefield and escape, and the only child in the family, it's best not to go. Otherwise, not only will you not get these rewards, but you may lose your life in vain and your family will be affected. Brothers, think about it. ”

Shukou is plugged, the people live in hardship, and the folk customs are also extremely strong. Even if there are many outlaws among these soldiers, what should be said must be said in advance.

"That's nature!"

"The fame is taken immediately, and we can't afford to lose this face!"

"General Zhang, what you said is true! Our brothers, we're not that kind of soft eggs! ”

Sure enough, Zhang Zhongxia's words provoked a chorus of echoes from the soldiers.

It is only natural for a soldier to eat food and go into battle to kill the enemy. Those who flee from the battle are all bad seeds.

"Brothers, there should be two or three months left before the expedition. During this time, the big guys have to practice well, especially the stabbing and firearms drills, and they have to be proficient. Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime. I don't need to say any more about that. ”

"No, brothers remember!"

Zhao Fu put away his smiling face and said seriously.

Many of them have been on the battlefield, and the cruelty of the battlefield, of course, knows.

"Brothers, the emperor loves soldiers like sons, and the future will be better and better. The firearms made by the emperor were the great nemesis of the cavalry, and the brothers also had armor, and the casualties in battle would be greatly reduced. The brothers practiced well, killed the enemy, and made meritorious deeds, so that all the family members could live a good life. To put it bluntly, we are also soldiers for ourselves. ”

Zhang Zhongxia was very meaningful, and he was doing ideological work for the soldiers.

Subtly, he learned this set from Jinling Lecture Martial Arts Hall.

"That's what General Zhang said! Now as a soldier, there is no shortage of salary, no sashimi, no money to go out to take a boat or a car, buying rice and noodles are all priorities, and I feel decent, but not as before. ”

A veteran said with emotion.

As long as you don't violate military discipline and oppress the people, the benefits of being a soldier are not too much.

"Lao Wang said it well! Brothers, we have met a good emperor and can afford to look down on the poor. Just say that I am Zhang San, but Lin'an City is a scoundrel, the emperor looks up to me and lets me study and practice martial arts. Otherwise, I would have been dead on the streets. ”

Zhang Zhongxia thought about it and said, cheering for the Western Xia troops.

"Don't think nonsense, let's rest early. I'm going to train tomorrow. The training is poor, and there are so many people, it is not so easy to go to Western Xia to fight. ”

Zhang Zhongxia carefully advised, the soldiers were so worried that they dispersed and returned to the bunk to lie down, many of them were still dark-eyed and couldn't sleep.

Zhang Zhongxia stood up and walked to the window, the lights were dim outside, and many barracks were already lights out. Only the Chinese army barracks are still brightly lit.

It seems that the emperor has not yet fallen asleep, and may be meeting the generals in person.

When will you be able to really make contributions and get ahead?

Zhang Zhongxia's heart was full of ambition.

went to Western Xia, and after the baptism of war, maybe he would be reborn and become a real soldier.

Li Siyu, is she really worth her waiting?

Western Xia, what kind of scene is there?
