The barracks career, which began with a stick and dungeon imprisonment, began in this way. Ranwen? ?? ．?ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎ `ｎｅt

When Ruan Zun's injuries were healed, he was completely integrated into the life of this military camp like everyone else. The life and rest of the barracks are very regular, getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning (Beijing time), and after washing, it is a unified basic physical training, such as long-distance running, weightlifting, obstacles, basic horse step boxing and other training.

When you get up, you should beat the drum as a trumpet, and after hearing the drum, everyone should quickly dress up and rush to the designated meeting place in full gear to participate in the assembly. Collections, also known as dots. This is a roll call on a capital basis, and the number of people in office is confirmed by reciting each person's name once.

On the first day of Ruan Zun's participation, it was located on the southwest side of the military camp training ground, where the people of the 10th capital of the Cadet Army gathered and lined up. But at first sight, Ruan Zun was taken aback, according to the establishment, there are fifty people in this capital, but this tenth capital, full of people, is only about thirty people.

"There were fifty of them. Cheng Hui said in a low voice, "But some people either didn't come to report for various reasons, or died on the way to report, and in the end, there are only so many people." ”

"This loss rate and lack rate are too big. Ruan Zun said.

"That's true, not only for us, but also for the other nine. Therefore, our youth army is nominally full of 500 people, but in fact, it is less than 300 people. ”

"Aren't all applicants carefully selected by the local halls? Since they are selected, there is no reason not to come. Could it be that so many people have been damaged on the road? The official roads of the Song Kingdom are so dangerous?" Ruan Zun was puzzled.

"Where is this. Li Yufeng from the Luoyang branch hall said, "The formation of the Young Army was proposed by the deputy hall master of Wen, and His Majesty Emperor Zhezong personally approved it on the sickbed, and placed high hopes on it. The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the lord of the family, who doesn't know, joining the Youth Army is an additional supreme asset, which is the cornerstone of the future prosperity of the young children in the family. However, in the army, the battle is dangerous, and these families don't want their young powerhouses to be damaged in the battle, so they put up a name, and the name is mixed prestige in the youth army, but they have not come. ”

Ruan Zun's heart sank, even the most potential young army in the Demon Suppression Hall of the Song Kingdom, the young army known as the pillar stone of the future Song Kingdom, also had such dirty things, and the armies of other places could be imagined.

"Isn't Vice Hall Master Wen known as being strict in governing the army, doesn't he care about this?"

Li Yufeng said: "Deputy Hall Master Wen, after all, he is only a Deputy Hall Master. In the court, in the government, to put it bluntly, he is nothing. Above him, there is also the Jiang Hall Master. Behind the lord of the palace Jiang, there are a bunch of court officials, princes and nobles. The deputy hall master can manage, that is, those who have come to report. ”

Ruan Zun understood.

At this time, only listening to the commander of the tenth capital, the intermediate spirit venerable Shi Zhentai shouted: "In the team, it is not allowed to talk to each other and whisper!"

He was a young man of about twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in black brocade, carrying a long sword on his back, and with a serious face, "Now, let's start ordering! I shouted my name, take a step forward, clench your fists and shout promises! The first one, Zhang Peng!"

"No!"

......

After ordering about twenty people, Shi Zhentai shouted: "Ruan Zun!"

Ruan Zun stepped forward and clasped his fists and shouted, "No!"

Shi Zhentai's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at him and said, "You are the Ruan Zun who has not arrived after the deadline, has been dealt with by military law, and has only recovered from his injuries until now?"

Hearing him accuse himself in public for his unkindness, Ruan Zun's face sank, but he still replied in accordance with the etiquette of the subordinates in the army responding to the superiors: "Return to the commander, the subordinates are." ”

Shi Zhentai snorted, stretched out his hand and pointed at him: "You, remember for me, in my tenth capital, no matter what the situation is, in a word, you can't cause trouble for me." If you have that kind of overdue or non-compliance with the order again, you don't need Deputy Hall Master Wen, I can directly punish you severely!"

Everyone's eyes were looking at Ruan Zun, and he was accused like this in person, and his face was also very unbearable. However, after thinking about it, I also understood in my heart that this Shi commander was only afraid that he had something to do with He Chongyuan, the deputy commander of the Young Army, and what else did King Shen's cousin Zhao Min do, and he knew that he was going to give himself a dismount in public on the first day of his participation.

I was angry in my heart, but the most well-behaved place in the barracks was not easy to be presumptuous, so I had to say: "My subordinates understand that they will never violate military discipline again." ”

Shi Zhentai said in a cold voice: "It's good to know! If I catch you for going out of line, don't blame me for not being merciful! Okay, you're in the ranks!"

Ruan Zun retreated, but the anger in his heart did not subside. If the commander has an opinion about himself, he can make a few private remarks, so that he can criticize him in public, without showing any mercy, and it is clear that he wants to embarrass himself.

After the o'clock, it's time for morning exercise. For Ruan Zun, the intensity is not great. After the morning exercise, all the people gathered in the tent of the battalion for breakfast. Ruan Zun made a special observation, and sure enough, the entire Cadet Army was very short of personnel. There are quite a lot of them, some of them are just a few people, and even some of them, such as the sixth and seventh capitals, are basically only named, and there is no one.

Logically speaking, the Cadet Army had five battalions, each with 10 battalions, each with 50 men. But the actual situation is that the entire Cadet Army is now only about 500 people.

In this camp, there are only one hundred and thirty or forty people who can come to eat.

"Also, eat empty wages. Li Yufeng said in a low voice, "My uncle is an official in Luoyang, and he can't know more about these things. The regulations of the juvenile military are very high, and everyone has a lot of money for salaries and equipment. Falsely report the number of people upwards, and if the money is not used in practice, it will fall into the pockets of officials at all levels. This situation is calculated in the youth army, and some border troops and box troops, out of 100,000 people, 30,000 or 40,000 are on empty salaries. ”

Ruan Zun was stunned, "This, how is this possible? There are so many strong enemies around our Song Kingdom, why, the army still has to eat empty salaries, isn't it, isn't this going to destroy the country?"

Li Yufeng's voice was lowered, "In the past, there were indeed so many troops. The shelves of these armies are all left over from the Taizu period. At that time, my Great Song Dynasty needed to expand its territory, to end the war of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and to fight against the northern wolf clan, and the army was indeed very large. However, in recent years, the country has been stable and peaceful, and the Tanyuan Alliance has been signed with the Liao State, and the two countries will no longer invade each other, and it is really unnecessary to keep so many troops. Therefore, the imperial court also implemented many practices of reducing the army. The officials and envoys of various places still demanded money from the imperial court according to the number of people and the structure of the army according to the previous practice, and they deceived and deceived them, and did everything they could. ”

"It turned out that it was still the border army, and then everyone tasted the sweetness, the same is true of the Beijing army and the forbidden army, and now, the same is true of the Demon Suppression Palace, which has just been established for a few years, and the same is true of the Young Army that the Demon Suppression Hall has high hopes for. He shook his head and sighed, "I really don't know if my Han people are born with this kind of bad roots, every official must be greedy, and every gap must be greedy." In the long run, the army will not be the army, and the country will not be the country!"

Ruan Zun listened with a heavy heart.

Although he has only been a Song man for a few years, his thinking is more exposed to the situation of that world. In that world, there was no similar situation, and the big tigers in the army were also arrested one by one.

The inferior nature of the Han nation, across time and space, through thousands of years, why can't it be changed? )
