Chapter 1 A small soldier through the late Ming Dynasty

Next Chapter

He Xuan sat on the ground in a daze, looking at everything in front of him.

The scenery in front of you is very different from the beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River.

The faint mountains are undulating, the vast and reckless earth, and some green trees are planted on the ground, but there are still large tracts of loess, which are directly exposed, and they are extremely rough. This is Xuanfu Town, the scenery of the Ming border. From time to time, there was a very strong wind, and the sand hit directly on the face, faintly painful.

"It's been three days since I came into this world. He Xuan let out a long sigh.

He still doesn't understand it now, his previous life is still in the Internet café, playing LOL all night, he is too tired to play, so he lies on the computer desk and squints for a while, planning to continue playing games after squinting for a while, not wasting the money for this night. As a result, when I woke up, I had already traveled to the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, he became a pawn in the Qingshan pier above the border of the Ming Dynasty and below the Xuanzhen Mansion.

During the Ming Dynasty, in order to defend against the invasion of the northern captives, a large number of military forts and piers were built in the north.

"One mile and a small pier, five miles and a big pier, ten miles and a village", but the spacing of the fort is related to the distance from the capital, the closer to the military town from the capital, the denser the distribution of the fort, and the more passes. For example, Yansui Town has an average of 40 li one fort, Datong Town and Xuanfu Town have an average of 30 li one fort, and Liaodong Town has only 20 to 30 li one fort.

Whether it is a fort or a pier, the sergeants defend the city during the war, and cultivate it when the farmers are busy.

When necessary, the above can also be used to recruit sergeants from the military fort to fight.

Generally, there will be a hundred soldiers in the military fort, which will be guarded by a hundred households.

And generally a small pier, that is, guarded by a small banner, a total of ten soldiers.

Qingshan Dun is such an ordinary small pier.

And he is an ordinary pawn in the small pier.

He Xuan also had a headache, according to the historical textbooks, this has reached the year of Chongzhen, and it is really not a few years before the fall of the Ming Dynasty. And as a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that I will die with me at that time. I live a good life in the 21st century, drinking a little wine, blowing the air conditioner, but I have traveled to a barbaric century like the end of the Ming Dynasty, which is really miserable.

I don't know what the future holds.

Forget it, if it comes, it will be safe.

......

He Xuan stood up, patted his buttocks, and then went to drive the cattle.

The armies of the Ming Dynasty were very different from those of other dynasties.

The armies of other dynasties only had to be in charge of fighting.

In the Ming Dynasty, the army was used to implement the guard. Exploitation of sergeants. According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty: Food and Goods", the Ming government stipulated that the army in the border areas "defended the city in three points and planted in seven parts, and in the interior defended the city in two points and planted in eight parts." The tun army had to pay taxes to the government, which were called "tuntian grains". During the Hongwu period, it was stipulated that the military tun "one bucket of tax per mu". The tax grain of Juntun was one of the main revenues of the Ming government.

Therefore, soldiers also have to farm and pay grain.

The army of the Ming Dynasty was simply peasants in peacetime.

Only when there is a war to be made, will he be temporarily transformed into a soldier.

This system was actually the reason for the low combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty army.

And He Xuan, as an ordinary soldier in Qingshandun, is responsible for two things in peacetime. One is responsible for cutting pigweed, and the other is responsible for herding cattle. Qingshandun still has a hundred acres of land, and it is impossible to plow so much land with people, so you must raise cattle. So Qingshandun also raised a total of two cows.

Whether it's cutting pigweed or herding cattle, it's a time-consuming task.

And look at the two things He Xuan did, in fact, there is no difference between them and the long-term work of the landlord's family, so that normal soldiers need to go out to exercise, drill or something, and they are completely exempt here.

He Xuan was a little depressed and pulled the ropes of the two cows and continued to walk forward.

In the back, there were two cows, one yellow and the other black, both of whom looked quite big, following behind He Xuan.

If it weren't for the cow's nose, these two cows really couldn't pull easily.

Suddenly, one of the yellow cows saw that the rice was ripe in the field next to it, and ran directly to the rice. As long as you have raised cattle in the countryside and let go of cattle, you know that generally cows like to eat those rice. What's more, the cow is so big that if it really enters the rice field, no matter how much it can eat, it can trample a lot of rice if it rolls in the field casually.

Therefore, as long as the cattle are spared, they are all told, no matter what, they must not let the cattle into the rice fields, otherwise the harvest will be greatly reduced.

And now it is the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and the price of grain is much higher than in later generations.

Of course, cattle should not be allowed to enter the rice fields.

He Xuan pulled the scalper hard.

Although the power of the scalper was much greater than He Xuan's, after all, the cow's nose was led to He Xuan's hands, and before he reached the rice field, he was helplessly pulled back, which made the scalper look at He Xuan with a resentful gaze.

However, one is at the expense of the other.

The black cow over there had already taken advantage of He Xuan's efforts to pull the ox, and rushed into the rice field at once, not only biting a lot of freshly ripe rice, but also taking the opportunity to step and trample a lot of rice.

He Xuan was depressed at the moment, tied the ox's ox rope to a tree some distance away from the rice, and then rushed into the rice, pulled the black cow's ox rope violently, and directly pulled the black cow up. After finally pulling it up, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my head when I saw that a lot of rice had been trampled on, how much food had to be wasted.

In the memory of the original owner, food was very expensive.

Moreover, he is bound to be scolded by Xiao Qiliang.

He Xuan was angry, and kicked directly at the black bull's body, anyway, a big man like the black bull, even if he kicked it, he couldn't kick this product.

"Received negative sentiment value from Black Bull, +6. Suddenly, a message rushed through my mind.

He Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, what was going on? He Xuan seemed to hear something just now.

There was silence, but no sound was heard.

Could it be that after the crossing, I was under too much mental pressure, hallucinated, and became mentally ill?

No, it's unlikely, I've always been an optimist, and it's unlikely that I'm mentally ill.

It seems that there is a black bull in the message just now, and I just kicked the black bull again, that is...... It is possible that it has something to do with this black bull.

He Xuan kicked the black bull again.

"Received negative sentiment value from Black Bull, +6. ”

It really has something to do with this black cow.

But what the hell is going on?
