Chapter 12: Autumn Leaves Drifting
Da Kui frowned, he was used to being pampered, and when he came to such a dirty place, he really couldn't adapt to it, so he found a secluded place, changed into a military uniform and armor and hung a waist knife, and then came to the outside again, and the old soldiers saw Da Kui come out, and they got up and waited for instructions.
"Brothers, sit down," Da Kui said with a smile on his face,
Where did the old soldiers dare to sit, still standing in place waiting for Da Kui to speak, Da Kui had to laugh dryly when he saw this: "Zhang has just arrived, and I hope everyone will take care of it," which Cheng thought, as soon as Da Kui's voice fell, all the old soldiers actually found the corner of the wall and sat down against the wall, one by one half-squinted and pretended to sleep, but Da Kui was a little confused for a while,
There was also an old soldier standing there silently, and Da Kui couldn't help asking, "Your surname, brother,"
The old soldier smiled and said, "My surname is Huo, and I am the leader of these old guys," and laughed twice as he said it.
"Oh, Brother Huo," Da Kui smiled kindly, without the slightest appearance of an official,
Lao Huo also smiled, but secretly pulled it on the placket of Da Kui's clothes, and then turned around and walked out of the door.
Da Kui knew that Lao Huo had something to say, so he followed out quietly, and came to a secluded place, Lao Huo smiled and said: "Captain Zhang, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not,"
Hearing this, Da Kui not only frowned and said: "In the future, everyone will eat in the same pot, why bother to see the outside like this, Brother Huo has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it,"
"Even if I wait for the officials, I should show my majesty, if I blindly accommodate the big guys, wouldn't it be unconvincing, just ask a sheep how to manage a group of sheep," Lao Huo said few words, but he told the truth,
The people have to get by, whether it is the official family or the landlord, the method for the people is the two words 'coercion', you don't coerce, the people don't pay taxes to the officials, and they don't pay grain to the landlords, this is the eternal truth, who has seen the people take the initiative to pay taxes in the yamen, who has seen the people take the initiative to send grain to the landlord's house,
If you insist on being more serious, there really is, there are no more than two kinds of people, one is forced, and the other is demanding.
"Brother Huo's kindness is appreciated in my heart," Da Kui said again: "When I first arrived, I hope that Brother Huo will help me more in some things,"
Lao Huo said with a smile: "It's okay to do it, it's all as it should be, why should Captain Zhang be so polite," After that, Lao Huo continued: "It's going to be a gang at noon, we should make some preparations,"
Da Kui nodded and said modestly: "There is Brother Laohuo to guide you,"
"I'm polite again, Captain Zhang invited, "Although Lao Huo is a sloppy old man, he is very sophisticated and thoughtful in words and deeds, Da Kui is not only grateful in his heart, but it saves a lot of trouble to have such a capable person as a deputy,
Back in the room, Lao Huo preached to all the old soldiers in the house: "Captain Zhang is very kind to everyone, but we can't be lazy, what to do is as before, get up," Don't look at Lao Huo Qi's appearance, but all the old soldiers are obedient to him, and they get up and start working when they hear the words.
The branch pot of the pot, the firewood of the firewood, as well as the washing of dishes, the washing of rice and noodles, everyone is busy performing their duties, everything is in order, Da Kui is standing by the courtyard, but there is nothing to do, I want to help people do something, but everyone refuses, Lao Huo walked to the side and smiled: "Captain Zhang, go to the side to rest, how can you stretch out your hand with these rough jobs,"
Da Kui couldn't help it, and raised his voice to everyone: "I, Zhang Dakui, didn't come to the army to eat idle food, I have work to do and eat together," no matter how everyone refused, just bury their heads and start working, there are some logs piled up on the side of the courtyard, there is an old army chopping wood, Da Kui went over and grabbed the axe and said: "You go to help others, here I am,"
In the surprised eyes of the old army, Da Kui began to chop wood with an axe, and the axe fell into firewood very quickly.
Everyone saw that Da Kui insisted on this, but it was not easy to say anything, before noon, the porridge had been boiled and steamed steamed buns, and the old soldiers carried baskets and baskets, and sent out the prepared meals.
Lao Huo came to Da Kui's side and said with a smile: "This is the case in this rear army, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, there are still one or two hours to rest, if you go out with the army, there is even a discount on eating and sleeping," Da Kui knows this, once he goes out with the army, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the army will have to eat, then the gang leader army will face a busy schedule,
The old army returned to the head of the army station, it was the time of the Hou Shen, everyone hastily eaten, then it was a busy job, pots and pans were washed one by one, there were still a lot of fragmented work, and when all the work was done, it should be the time to prepare dinner, in the army, except for the generals and other leading people, ordinary soldiers did not eat breakfast, fortunately at this moment in the Beijing Division, if it was fought with the army, then I am afraid that it really did not even have time to rest,
In this way, the gang leader army received an order, with the baggage grain and grass team rushed to Beiping, stopped in Jeju Mansion halfway, and returned to the command of the conquest army, Da Kui heard the news, his heart was full of emotion, and finally had the opportunity to return to his hometown, and I don't know if the grave of the mother is full of wild grass now,
On the day of the team's departure, the traffic was not lively, this is the grain and grass to be transported to the conquest army, and now it has just recovered the boundary of Shanxi and Beiping in Shandong, Jiangbei has been on fire for many years, and the people have long been unwilling to cultivate, so most of the grain and grass must be transported from the south.
The leader of the gang army with ten mules and horses carts, pulling the required items to follow the grain and grass baggage team at the end of the march to the north, along the way people and horses neighing, the team is mighty, to Shishidu, and then carried by the warship across the river, the whole baggage team tens of thousands of people, across the river took six days,
The warship went down the river and went to the waters of Guazhou, Da Kui looked at the waves of the river and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, His Royal Highness King Song Xiaoming fell into the water here, if it was safe and sound, what would Daming look like now,
On the shore, the leader of the army and the baggage team will gather, the team marched north again, all the way for nearly three months before reaching the boundary of Jeju Prefecture, it is late autumn at this moment, and I see the grass and trees in my hometown again, and the autumn leaves are scattered.
Guanyin Temple is the temple of Guanyin in the South China Sea, although it is the year of war but also incense continuously, Da Kui has heard his mother say, because of the marriage with Da Kui's father, a year after the stomach did not move, and then Da Kui's mother went to this temple to burn incense and ask for a child, and then it came true, the next year there was Da Kui,
"What are you doing, go and set up a tent," a captain galloped to the front of the gang head army convoy and stopped his horse, and shouted, the old soldiers did not dare to delay, they went to get busy, Da Kui was standing in front of the Guanyin Temple in a daze, hearing this shout, but he was a little angry in his heart, the captain who rode the horse saw Da Kui standing alone in front of the Guanyin Temple, not only turned over the saddle and got off the horse to Da Kui approached and asked: "This big brother, you are the captain of the gang,"
