Chapter 10 Hungry all over the field
This is very ugly, and the onlookers also laughed loudly. Some of them wanted to leave, but because they couldn't hide their stigma, they had to stay. In fact, compared to farming, standing for an hour is nothing, mainly to test patience and self-discipline.
If you want to train a suitable flintlock spearman, you can only do it step by step, gradually allowing the soldiers to have a sense of discipline and accept the constraints of discipline.
"Who is willing to stand with Li?"
Li Xin glanced coldly at the person behind him.
"This...I'll be with you!"
The Hong Madam hesitated for a moment and expressed her attitude. After all, her heart was tied to Li Xin, and her suspicion of Li Xin was only possessed by ghosts and evil spirits. This is not helpless. At the right time, just find a master dancer to exorcise evil spirits.
What's more, it's just a stage of suspicion, and it's impossible to confirm it. When Li Xin shows signs of being crazy, refusal to recognize his relatives, or does something that the Philippines think, she will act.
"I'll do it, I'll do it!"
Huang Hai, Erju, Yang Biao and other Li Xin's confidants also raised their hands.
"We'll come too!"
Zhang Quan, Li Desheng, Wu Changgong, Fei San, Yang Daniu, Wang Qiang, Lu Yiming and others followed one after another.
"Haha, how can you miss the old man!"
Xing San and his team stood up.
The mind and mind expressed their opinions, and the rest of the people had to stand up regardless of whether they wanted it or not.
Li Xin didn't explain why he wanted to stand. Now he told people that he would queuing and shooting him, which would definitely scare people away. He just inspected the entire venue and corrected everyone's standing posture according to the preliminary standards of the People's Liberation Army.
"Are you taking the blame or what?"
"I, why are you so tired? Look at how thin you are like a monkey. Do you have a belly? Retract!"
"Why are you so tall? Put your legs together, don't shrink your shoulders, raise your head and chest!"
Li Xin cursed all the way, kicked the butt from time to time, or pressed his shoulders and patted his stomach. When the circle was over, an hour passed, and he incorporated nearly five hundred people into his command.
Compared with Hong Niangzi's subordinates, these people are just like white lotus. Li Xin plans to lead them himself to show his example. Although he has never brought soldiers in his previous life, his subordinates have mercenaries and he still has some basic training. What's more, the People's Liberation Army's military discipline is famous and has never seen pig runs. At least he has eaten pork. If you think about it for a while, it will not be difficult to sort out the training methods.
As of now, Li Xin and Hong Niangzi had 1,600 people under his command. The city's big households also learned about this news and sent money and grain one after another. The fewer were about a hundred taels of silver, dozens of stones of rice and flour, the more were five hundred taels of grain, and the more were one hundred taels of grain, and the income from the county government could barely eat it to Nanyang.
The next day, the entire army was 1,600, plus some family members, and a total of nearly 2,000 people, and they set off in a mighty manner.
Early autumn is the season of harvest, but along the way, there are a large number of fertile fields abandoned, the fields are bare and there are not even weeds. The sparse forests next to the road are left with white poles, and the leaves and bark are stripped naked. The road is full of refugees, grouped together, supporting each other, and rushing to the nearby Dayi. Many people are not covered in their clothes, thin foreskin bones, numb and black and yellow.
"Mr. Li, please give some food to the people."
The Hong Madam looked unbearable and turned her head to ask.
“Oh ~~”
Li Xin sighed. He stayed in Africa for a while in his previous life. Although Africa was poor and refugees were everywhere, at least the United Nations and various humanitarian institutions organized rescue, and at least they could not starve to death. Who will rescue the people of the Ming Dynasty?
"Mom, mom, there are grass roots, there are grass roots over there, diar go and pick them up!"
A child about ten years old, who was so dark that he could not tell whether he was a man or a woman. He suddenly screamed in surprise and ran over to pull the grass, but he was one step late. Two men had already pulled the grass roots first, and casually stroked the soil, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"You... rob me of my grassroots!"
The child screamed in anger.
"A Di, come back!"
A woman with a vegetable look on the side pulled him weakly, and her eyes showed a sad look.
Although the woman was dressed in rags, had a disheveled face and couldn't see her appearance clearly, Li Xin's eyes were very poisonous, and she could tell a talented temperament. She was obviously not an ordinary woman, so she asked Madam Hong, "Go and have a look?"
"Yeah~~"
The Hongniang asked for a few steamed buns from the female soldier, and jumped off the horse with Li Xin and walked over.
"Little sister, be hungry, take it, this is for you and your mother."
Li Xin couldn't tell the difference between men and women, but the Hongniang could see it at a glance and handed the steamed bun the girl.
"this……"
The girl turned around and looked at her mother, holding her cheeks tightly and swallowing her saliva secretly. The woman was also a little hesitant.
"Take it, go out, no one has any difficulties."
The red lady stuffed the steamed buns hard.
"mother!"
The girl's throat was stammering, but she still didn't answer, just staring at her mother.
"Thank you, Miss."
The woman hesitated for a moment and gave a little blessed.
The girl could no longer hold back, so she took two steamed buns, handed one to her mother, and swallowed them voraciously. The woman was eating in small mouthfuls.
"Jun Ye, Jun Ye, okay!"
"June, the old woman hasn't eaten for two days. Please help me."
The refugees around saw the Red Lady actually sending steamed buns. They were afraid of this army, but they were as crazy as they were, and they all reached out and shouted, with green light flashing in their eyes. Fortunately, there were soldiers, otherwise they would definitely take action to snatch them.
"Get some more steamed buns and share them."
Li Xin ordered Erju.
"Get orders!"
Erju clasped his fists solemnly and turned around to arrange for people to pick up the steamed buns and distributed them to the refugees. The refugees were grateful and stuffed them into their mouths as they held them.
“Oh ~~”
The Hongmao sighed and asked, "This lady, are you the only two of you? Have you been separated from your family?"
The woman obviously had a hard time to express her feelings. After hesitating for a while, she said, "My surname is Zhou, a native of Jiading, Songjiang Prefecture. She married into the capital in her early years. Her husband's family, Sun. Her husband died of illness three years ago. After the mourning period expired, she returned to her hometown with her daughter. Unexpectedly, she was deceived by thieves after Linqing. She was lucky that I saw the opportunity and escaped in time. Only then did we survive. We were lost. We beg along the refugees and then dig some food from the field. We finally entered the boundary of Henan."
The Hongniang was sympathetic and advised: "This world is full of chaos and the road is full of dangers. It is difficult to return to Jiading with your mother and daughter alone. Why not follow us first? We plan to go to the King of Break and wait until we settle down and then send you back to Jiading. How about it?"
After saying that, he winked at Li Xinlian.
Li Xin nodded and said, "Little Son Qi County Li Xin, this is a matchmaker. He has been taken care of by the matchmaker on the way. Our army's military discipline is good, so there is no need to doubt it."
Zhou thought about it, and it was a miracle that two weak women could run from Linqing to Henan in troubled times. When they went south to Jiading, they almost didn't dare to think about it. Moreover, Li Xin was beautiful and the Hong Madam was full of righteousness. At first glance, the two were extremely close, which made her feel relieved.
"mother!"
The girl pulled Zhou, her eyes full of enthusiasm.
"It's time for Mr. Li and the Match Girl."
