Chapter 3: Pan Yuan (to the alliance leader Nelson)
After the Chung Yeung Festival, the weather turned cooler.
The military system is cloudy: each team has 50 people, one team leader, and ten teams are led by one general and one person holds the building.
The building is a kind of flag, and ten teams of 500 soldiers get a banner, so these 500 people are commonly known as "one building", and the general who commands a building is also called "the lord of the building".
The lord of the building is not a big official.
The high-level generals are basically monopolized by the big families, and the middle-level generals are mostly the children of high-level families.
As for the building level, if it is not a private army, but an army under the control of the imperial court, there are fewer children of the family, and most of them are ordinary people.
But ordinary people are also divided into three, six, nine and so on. If nothing else, most of the owners are the self-reserved land of local tyrants in the countryside. The reason is also very simple, their relationship network is developed, their children have better martial arts education resources, the starting point is different, and the competitiveness is naturally very strong.
The candidate for the new owner of the building was finally determined, and it was the capital of Sikong Mansion.
According to Shao Xun's observation, Mi Huang's ability is limited, and he is not a very suitable candidate for the owner of the building.
This can be seen from the daily training, all the content is read from the script, and he has no military experience at all, he is not familiar with the basic situation of the whole building, and there is no way to talk about targeted training.
There are really too few available people in Sima Yue's hands. And he was suspicious, unwilling to hand over this army to outsiders, and only wanted to dig into the interior of the East China Sea Kingdom, and finally became like this.
After ten days, more than a dozen of those old people died, and Mi Huang finally knew that something was wrong.
He organized Qingzhuang into three teams separately as the "elite" of the building.
The elderly and children also formed separate formations, and at the same time, they invited Sikong to send strong men to serve as officers at all levels. In such a situation, Shao Xun and several henchmen of Bensh actually mixed into the positions of team leader and chief, although they were only a group of children.
On September 15, on the dilapidated post road, a long procession headed east.
Along the way, the autumn wind is blowing, and the sky is high and the clouds are light.
Shao Xun looked carefully at the sergeants in the team, the youngest was seven or eight years old, and the eldest was sixteen or seventeen years old, all of them with a look of curiosity and tiredness.
It is not necessarily a good thing to change from the chief of the Sikong Mansion guard to the "child's head". But dialectically, there are good and bad things to do, and if you have the opportunity to do business – which is important – you can turn a bad thing into a good thing.
It's up to God to give him this chance.
“…… Wang Bao was very wronged, although this person was killed, the king of Qi and the king of Changsha were afraid that they would also tear their faces. ”
"Trouble is not far away...... I just don't know which side the main guild will choose. ”
The two rode side by side, and the intermittent sound reached the ears.
Shao Xun shouted to order the sergeants of his team to stay in formation, and at the same time pricked up his ears and listened.
Wang Bao is very famous in Luoyang, and he is the master of the great Sima and Sima Jian, the king of Qi, who is in power, and he was actually killed?
The sound of horses' hooves approached, but it was Dai Yuan, the military advisor, and Liu Qia, Zuo Sima.
"I heard that before Wang Bao died, he shouted that his head was hanging on the Great Sima Gate, and he wanted to watch the foreign army attack the palace."
"In fact, Wang Bao is talented and learned, and the strategy he offers is quite feasible, but King Qi is unconscious."
"That's a good thing. If Wang Leopard's strategy is really followed, the kings leave Beijing, and Luoyang will be completely controlled by the King of Qi. ”
"King Qi hasn't said anything yet, but the lord is a little scared and doesn't dare to keep his henchmen in Beijing."
"Where's the King of Changsha?"
"It is said that more than 100 party henchmen were left, and the rest were all sent outside the city."
"He's a strong point. However, it is not a loss to use a king leopard in exchange for the king's henchmen and samurai to go out of Beijing. ”
"Wang Leopard has great talents, and King Qi is so powerful, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of scholars."
"Whatever! In the past few days, I have put a lot of thought into it, and most of the people in the Qi Wangfu have left, and they are just in time. During the prince period of Wang Cheng, he was born in Taiyuan and was well-known for his weak crown. Danyang Jizhan, one of the five handsomes of Jiangdong......"
The sound faded away.
Shao Xun looked at their backs and was silent.
Turning his head to look at the team and the people next to him, almost no one was interested.
This is the Western Jin Dynasty!
There's a reason why the Saga Gate Valve monopolizes all kinds of resources. Not only because of the power and connections, but more importantly, because they have the knowledge.
Dai Yuan and Liu Qia dared to talk about these sensitive things on the road, to put it bluntly, didn't they treat these sergeants as human beings?
Almost everyone is illiterate, ignorant, slow in thinking, has no experience, cannot think effectively, has only a superficial understanding of the general trend of the world, even if you tell him confidential things in person, he can't analyze them well.
In this day and age, who can you use without the talents of the family?
The team continued on their way, arriving at a half-abandoned farmstead just before nightfall.
The manor is barren and green, infested with foxes, and looks very desolate.
"This is Pan Yuan, which was originally owned by Pan Yue, the waiter of the Yellow Gate." Wu Qian, the leader of the fourth team, opened his small eyes, looking for something in the courtyard, and after a while, he showed disappointment and scolded angrily: "The rabbit cubs who raided the house didn't leave anything behind, and they all took it away." ”
Shao Xun gave him a funny look. He always felt that Old Man Wu's name was not good, wasn't Wu Qian just "no money"? No wonder he has a sad face all day long, as if everyone owes him a few dollars.
Pan Yuan's origin, listening to Lao Wu say this, he probably knew it.
Two years ago, Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, hunted down Pan Yue, razed his three clans, and confiscated his family property, including the Pan family's homestead in Luoyang City and the farm outside the city.
The people who raided the house are all veterans, how can they leave you with any treasures?
"If you have the courage to do so, you can go to rob the road and keep your wealth and worry-free." Yang Bao, the leader of the team, passed by, laughed twice, and walked by proudly.
He was followed by fifty soldiers, most of them sturdy, with spears in their arms, and looked like that.
Shao Xun glanced at him, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Yang Bao keenly caught his gaze, and subconsciously shuddered. Xuan thought of the soldier behind him, bold, glanced at Shao Xun defiantly, and left.
Mi Huang divided the whole army into ten teams, most of the first, second and third teams were children and teenagers, and Shao Xun was the leader of the first team; Most of the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh teams are elderly, and Wu Qian is the leader of the fourth team, and he is fifty this year; Eighty or ninety teams are strong, and this Yang Bao is the eighth team.
"Yang Bao owes to clean up, Shao Langjun beats him a few more times, and he will be honest." Wu Qian grinned with a big toothless mouth and said with a smile.
"Private fighting is forbidden in the army." Shao Xun replied.
"Team Master Shao said so, and he was out of sight." Wu Qian said dissatisfiedly: "Last month, under the big locust tree, you beat Yang Bao and Qin San down, Yang Bao is okay, Qin San knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, right?" ”
Shao Xun was stunned, he didn't expect the matter to spread so quickly.
But it's not a big deal.
They were all peasant soldiers before the levy, and with his current martial arts foundation, it was very simple to support Yang Bao and Qin San. On the other hand, although military law strictly prohibits private fights, but to be honest, when will this kind of thing be less? A group of big men have been together for years, and it's strange that they don't fight.
"Lang Jun beat it well, beat it well." Wu Qian said with a smile: "In the future, Lang Jun will have greater hopes for the promotion of officers, and don't forget to take care of the old when the time comes." ”
"What are you talking about without a shadow?" Shao Xun shook his head and said.
"Well, you can't say that." Wu Qian said: "Low-level generals, no family is willing to be a son. You don't need to know any tactics and tactics, just one, dare to fight, and have outstanding martial arts. Let's crooked melons and cracked dates, thinking and calculating, just a few people have hope, Lang Jun, you beat Yang Bao and them a few more times, make a name for yourself in the army, and set up a governor in the future, the first thing Shangguan thinks about is you. ”
Shao Xun was noncommittal.
In fact, who doesn't want to be promoted? It's a hierarchical world, and for each level up, you have access to a little more resources. Not to mention that this will be a troubled time, and the low-level soldiers are the fate of cannon fodder. Although low-ranking officers are also cannon fodder, what if they continue to climb up? Climb to the ceiling of the owner, and there will be a lot more life support.
"But-" Wu Qian looked around, quietly came over, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Yang Bao is Liu Sima's kin, and he may make a conspiracy, Shao Langjun better keep an eye on it." ”
"Liu Qia?" Shao Xun frowned and wondered.
"It's Liu Qia." Wu Qian nodded heavily and said.
"How is it possible for a military household to marry an outsider? Am you mistaken? Shao Xun wondered.
The soldiers of the world are soldiers for generations, that is, the so-called soldiers.
They can only marry internally, and cannot marry with the outside world.
In fact, it is not the only soldier in the world, and the whole society has this status quo more or less, that is, the so-called "identity endogamy", which means that only marrying people who are equal to their status.
The treatment of military households is very poor, and most of the income has to be contributed to the imperial court when farming in peacetime, and there are wars in wartime, and life and death are unpredictable. Therefore, many people are reluctant to become soldiers, and the daughters of the soldiers also want to marry out to let their descendants get rid of the status of military households.
During the period of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, because of the loose control for a while, a large number of women from military families married outside and married ordinary people. When the imperial court heard about it, it ordered a rectification and took these women away from their husbands and gave them to the soldiers as wives, resulting in the largest official minotaur behavior in the history of the Western Jin Dynasty.
The strictness of the law can be seen.
"There are always exceptions." Wu Qian smiled, but the smile looked a little bitter, and he didn't know what he remembered.
Shao Xun patted him on the shoulder and sighed.
The "caste system" of the Great Jin Dynasty is good, wonderful.
If you don't smash this bullshit, won't you have to marry a woman from a military family?
He recalled the military women he had seen before, and he was even more speechless in his heart.
"Your stature, martial arts, and knowledge, it's a pity that you don't belong to the uncle." Wu Qian muttered and walked quickly.
