tractor.

They are the soldiers of their small flag.

Tieniu is not a nickname, but his surname is Tieniu. He is in his twenties and lives up to his name. He has a Chinese character face, a beard all over his face, a dark complexion, and is as strong as a cow.

Tieniu is also good at dancing with spears and spears, and can fire a two-stone bow. He is a rare good soldier in this hundred households with weak military discipline.

Precisely because of the lack of military discipline, Tieniu could only be a soldier.

On weekdays, their relationship is either good or bad.

Wu Nian put the dishes and chopsticks in the pot, closed the lid, and washed them when he came back. Then he left the kitchen and opened the courtyard door.

"It's Tieniu. What's wrong?"

Wu Nian looked up at the sturdy iron bull and asked calmly.

"Go in and talk, it's very cold here." Although Tieniu is strong, he is quite afraid of the cold. He shivered and said.

"I was negligent, please." Wu Nian apologized and welcomed Tieniu into the main room and sat down.

"It smells so good. Did you really go into the mountains and hunt a deer? When I heard about it, I thought it was a joke." After Tieniu sat down, he moved his nose and smelled the aroma of meat.

"Good luck. This sika deer hit my arrow and was sent in by itself." Wu Nian wrote lightly without intending to talk more.

Tieniu also thinks that Wu Nian must be lucky. He knows that this drunkard is very weak and doesn't know how to shoot a bow.

But he just sighed that he was lucky. He was not jealous. He was a hunter himself and often went hunting in the mountains. There was no shortage of meat at home.

"Yesterday, the military order came down for us to assemble. But you were not at the Hundred Household Station. Mr. Xiaoqi asked me to inform you that you should go to the military camp early tomorrow morning to assemble."

"In addition, Mr. Xiaoqi lost his temper because you were not present. Don't blame me for not reminding you. You should have a better attitude tomorrow. Otherwise, you might get slapped."

Tieniu finally put aside the nonsense and entered the topic.

Wu Nian's eyes flashed, and he solemnly stood up, bowed to Tieniu, and said, "Thank you for your advice, brother."

Tieniu looked at Wu Nian in surprise, and later realized that Wu Nian seemed to be a little different. Wu Nian in the past was not so orderly.

"You seem to be a little abnormal." Tieniu touched his chin covered with beard and looked at Wu Nian suspiciously.

But he didn't think much about it, and waved his hands happily: "You're welcome. Officials are not good people. Although you are a drunkard and a gambler, you have never offended me. If anything happens, of course I will take care of you.

.”

"Okay. That's all. I'm leaving. Your room is really cold. I'd better go back and hug my wife to sleep."

Tieniu stood up, patted his butt and left.

"Brother, go slowly." Wu Nian politely walked Tieniu to the door, waved his hand, and watched Tieniu plunge into the night.

"This guy can get along well. There is a big contradiction between being an official and being a soldier."

Wu Nian searched the original owner's memories and thought to himself.

The military discipline of the Great Chu State was lax and corrupt.

Tieniu is a good soldier, but he can only be a good soldier.

Although Xiaoqi only has ten soldiers, he is a seventh-rank official and is an official. If he wants to get Xiaoqi's position, Tieniu is incapable.

Xiaoqi can lead ten soldiers, this is theory. In practice, it is not necessarily true. Their Xiaoqi has never been full, and currently only has five soldiers.

According to the laws of Dachu State.

Every month, each soldier was given five dou of rice, which is sixty kilograms, for those without a wife. Six dou for each soldier with a wife.

The jersey is changed every three years.

The current situation in the Great Chu State has deteriorated. The original owner is also unclear about the actual amount of military rations issued by the imperial court.

Anyway, in Wu Nian's hands, he only had two buckets of rice per month.

I haven't changed my jersey for more than ten years.

The original owner's shirt was inherited from Wu's father.

As an official, he was exploited at every level and was paid empty wages. From time to time, his soldiers were asked to help farm the land.

How to reconcile the contradiction between soldiers and officials?

He had already suspected that Zhang Yong would collude with Xiaoqi Li Ding to mess with him, but now Tieniu had made it clear to him that Li Ding had indeed lost his temper and might take the opportunity to show off.

"It's not that easy if you want to mess with me." Wu Nian sneered and had some concerns in his heart.

After standing for a while, Wu Nian also felt cold and shivered and went back into the house. He went to check on Liu Xiang first. Seeing that Liu Xiang was asleep, he did not disturb her, collected the dishes and washed them together, and then went back on his own.

Sleep in the room.

Early the next morning.

Wu Nian cooked lotus seed porridge early, and after eating it himself, he went to see Liu Xiang. Her complexion improved again, and she was able to go to the ground.

Wu Nian asked her to eat porridge by herself. He went back to the house, put on his ragged war jacket, hung up his knife, put on his iron helmet, picked up his big gun and went out, reporting to the military camp.

There are no tents in the military camp. There is a simple 100-family house with ten separated rooms. The main room is Xiaoqi's court hall, and the other rooms are residences.

After Wu Nian came to the court, others had already arrived.

In addition to Tieniu, there are also Zhang Sheng, Wang Gui and Li Yong.

Tieniu is a good soldier, Zhang Sheng is young and strong. Wang Gui is a sick man, and Li Yong is a veteran who is over fifty years old and has white hair and beard.

In addition to the original drunkard owner, most of them are crooked and cracked.

The four of them all nodded to Wu Nian, and then stood together waiting for Xiaoqi Li Ding to arrive.

Not long after, Li Ding arrived with his servant Chen Guang.

Wu Nian and other soldiers wore war jackets, which were cotton armor. Li Ding wore iron armor. He was in his prime, strong and had a Chinese character face. With the iron armor, he walked with dignity.

His domestic servant Chen Guang is also strong and wears cotton armor and a helmet.

Domestic servants are not part of the establishment, but are the officials' personal armies. Compared with their own soldiers, officials trust their domestic servants more.

Li Ding came to the main seat and sat down, followed closely by Chen Guang, standing on his left side. As soon as he sat down, Li Ding glanced at Wu Nian, and a sinister expression flashed across his face.

"Wu Nian, you are a military household. The army gathered yesterday, but you were not in the hundred households. According to the law, you should be killed."

Li Ding didn't waste any time talking to Wu Nian and directly used his big move. After saying these words fiercely, he changed the subject and said, "However, we all belong to the same household. We can't see each other when we look up."

"I will show mercy and give you twenty sticks."

"Tieniu. Pull Wu Nian down and beat him hard. Don't let me sneak around. Later, I will personally take off my pants to check."

Li Ding raised his head and ordered Tie Niu.

We are all veterans. We all know that there are two ways to hit a stick.

One is to hit loudly but not hurt the muscles and bones.

One is that the beating is dull and can paralyze the person.

Today, Li Ding first took half of Wu Nian's life, and then talked to him about the Wu family's land.

This is the level of officialdom that crushes people to death.
