According to the official rank, the military quartermaster is the eighth rank, which is already a great figure in the eyes of the people. If it is a small county, the county magistrate is only the seventh rank, while the school captain is at most a soldier leader and is not in the upper class at all. Besides, he was also a captain, so he was even less looked down upon by his boss.
At this moment, the munitions chief stared at Dakui, but it was difficult to defend himself. After all, he was really at fault, and it would not look good if he caused trouble.
"My lord, let's do some errands," Dakui changed his cold expression and smiled happily.
The quartermaster glared at Dakui fiercely again, and said angrily: "Come in with me," he said and entered the tent first, followed closely by Dakui into the tent.
It wasn't until he entered the tent that Dakui saw that there were two soldiers in the tent. The military supply manager thought Dakui was here to inspect the post, and was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed. The two soldiers did not dare to show their heads. At this moment, they learned that Da Kui was just a gang leader, and the two soldiers were relieved and no longer afraid. The military commander was their chief officer. It's time to make a move.
"What are you doing? You can come in here at will, just go out and wait," a soldier tilted his head and shouted. Da Kui couldn't help but be startled, but he had to lower his head under the eaves, so Da Kui had no choice but to exit the tent.
The chief in the tent waved to two soldiers, and the three of them whispered together, planning to take revenge and how to take revenge. Naturally, they found trouble and made a big meal. The plan was decided, and the chief shouted outside the tent: "Come in."
Hearing the call, Dakui entered the tent again. He had not paid attention when he came in before, but this time he saw more than ten large wooden boxes placed in the tent, as well as armors, military uniforms and other items piled randomly by the door. He was holding an account book, but he said to Dakui slowly: "When you first came to the army, you dared to pretend to be an officer to play with me. I am too big to care about you, but the army has military regulations. General Liao once strictly ordered: Anyone who joins the army must remember the military regulations. If the officer cannot answer the questions, he will receive twenty sticks. I have seventeen prohibitions and fifty-four cuts in the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty. Please tell me and listen to it."
Dakui was stunned at first and couldn't help asking: "Who is General Liao?"
The munitions chief couldn't help but became furious and immediately shouted: "Liao Yongzhong, General Liao, who else could it be?"
"Oh, I'm sorry to offend you. I'm a newbie here. I didn't know that this rear army is controlled by Liao Jiang's army. Don't be offended, sir," Dakui said with a smile.
The quartermaster sneered and said, "Look at your glib talk and you are actually talking around me here. Come here, prepare water and fire sticks. If he can't answer the military regulations, I will serve you with a stick."
"Yes," the two soldiers said with evil smiles on their faces. They walked over to the stacked boxes and pulled out two sticks.
The munitions chief looked at Da Kui again and asked with a smile: "If you can't answer, I think you are new here, so I will give you half the penalty."
Da Kui couldn't help but feel angry when he saw how bullying these three guys were, but the military regulations couldn't trouble Da Kui. After more than ten years of fighting on the battlefield, how could he not remember the military regulations.
"First, if you hear the drums but don't advance, if you hear the gold doesn't stop, if you can't raise the flag, if you press the flag it won't fall, this is called rebelling against the army, and the offender will be killed.
Second: Failure to answer the call by name, failure to arrive at the appointed time, failure to arrive at the scheduled time, and changing the law of the teacher. This is called a slow army, and the offender will be killed.
The third one is to spread the word of unruly fighting at night, to be lazy and not to retaliate, to be more slow and disobedient, and to have an unclear signal. This is called a slack army, and the offender will be killed.
Fourth: He complains a lot, makes his commander angry, refuses to obey restraints, and becomes even more difficult to control. This is called arrogance of the army, and the offender will be killed.
Fifth: Raise your voice and laugh, defy the forbidden covenants, and rush into the military gates. This is called a light army, and the offenders will be killed.
Sixth: The weapons used are bows and crossbows without strings, arrows without feathers, swords and halberds that are useless, and flags withered. This is called bullying the army, and the offender will be beheaded.
Seventh: Rumors and deceit, fabricating ghosts and gods, pretending to be in a dream, spreading heresies, and deceiving the soldiers. This is called a prostitute, and the offender will be killed.
Eighth: A person with a sharp tongue and sharp teeth, who thinks right and wrong without thinking, and mobilizes soldiers to make them discord. This is called slandering the army, and the offender will be killed.
Nine: Wherever you go, you abuse the people, and if you rape a woman, you are called a traitor, and the offender will be killed.
Number 10: Stealing people's property for one's own gain, taking someone's head for one's own merit. This is called robbing the army, and the offender will be beheaded.
Chapter 11: Soldiers and civilians gather together to discuss matters, enter tents privately, and spy on military aircraft. This is called spying on the army, and the offenders will be executed.
No. 12: If you hear the plan or the order, leak it to the outside and let the enemy know about it, this is called backing the army, and the offender will be killed.
Thirteenth: When called upon, if someone is tongue-tied, has his eyebrows lowered, and has a troubled expression on his face, this is called a ruthless army, and the offender will be beheaded.
Fourteenth: If you go out into the army, move forward and backward, talk loudly, and do not follow the forbidden instructions, this is called a disorderly army, and the offenders will be killed.
No. 15: Pretending to be wounded and sick to avoid conquest, pinching an injury and feigning death to escape, this is called deceiving the army, and the offender will be killed.
Chapter 16: He is in charge of money and food, and when giving rewards, he is close to his relatives and makes the soldiers enmity. This is called a bad army, and the offenders will be killed.
Seventeenth: Observing the invaders without interrogating them, detecting the unknown thieves, not saying anything about them when they arrive, saying too little when they are too many, and too much when they are too few. This is called misleading the army, and the offender will be killed."
Dakui memorized fifty-four of the seventeen prohibitions in one breath, almost shocking the chief's jaw.
These seventeen prohibitions and fifty-four cuts are inherited from the military regulations of the past dynasties, mainly from the three military books "Military Administration", "Military Important" and "Military Prophecy". The reason why Da Kui can recite it so fluently is because he was able to recite it so fluently.
My military experience has become a brand in my heart. This brand contains pain, pain and even hurt.
The boss swallowed his saliva, knowing that this gang leader was not easy to deal with. How could a person who was so familiar with fifty-four of the seventeen prohibitions be an easy person?
"Well, don't be stunned, hurry up and get all the things Captain Zhang needs," the chief gave the order, but the two soldiers dared not speak, and quickly split up to prepare. The chief took the account book and said with a smile: "College Zhang
Lieutenant, wait a moment, I will take a look," he said, opening the account book in his hand, and after searching for a while, he read: "An iron helmet, a pair of iron armor, a military uniform, a set of bedding, and a sword...
,"
Unexpectedly, just as he read this, the soldier on the side corrected him softly: "My lord, I'm wrong. This belongs to Colonel Wu Bei. He is a reserve."
The chief couldn't help but scolded: "How outrageous! Isn't the captain of the group the captain of the school?" The chief had a powerful appearance by nature, and this time he was pretending to be angry, which was somewhat powerful.
Da Kui received the military supplies distributed one by one. The supervisor sent a soldier to take Da Kui to Huotou Camp. After entering the camp, another officer entered Da Kui's name into the register. Then Da Kui was asked to take up his post in the kitchen. The so-called kitchen
, there were just dozens of old soldiers. Since Da Kui was the captain of the group, these old men were under his control. When all the old soldiers learned that Da Kui was the captain sent by the superiors, they not only came forward to say hello, but Dakui also
He responded with a smile. Looking at these old faces, Da Kui seemed to have returned to the time when he first joined the army. At that time, he called people brothers every day, and the happiest thing was to be with the old army.
The most difficult thing about being a soldier is starvation, because once a large group of troops goes into battle, they will inevitably have to travel north and south, and the food and baggage will follow closely behind them. If they march all the way in a hurry, the food and grass will not be available, and they will starve by then. It is said that Soldiers are bandits, but they have no choice but to grab things to fill their stomachs, otherwise they will go hungry.
When soldiers are fighting, it is common for them to be without water or food for three to five days. This depends on whether the soldier has the ability to survive. And as long as it is fighting, being a cook in the army is undoubtedly a bad job. It is not his job to charge into battle, so good He tastes wine and meat first. As for how much he tastes, it depends on personal preference.
Dakui was quite straightforward. He stood there holding his bedding and clothes and asked, "Where shall we sleep?"
An old soldier beside him smiled and said: "In the inner room, you sleep in the inner room." Da Kui followed the instructions and led into the so-called inner room. Good guy, this is a warehouse with a pile of iron pots and utensils randomly packed in a big basket. Inside, the bowls and chopsticks were piled up like a hill. It looked like these things hadn't been washed for many days, which actually caused swarms of flies to buzz around.
Dakui frowned. He was used to being pampered. When he suddenly came to such a messy place, he really couldn't adapt. He found a quiet place, put on his military uniform and armor, hung up his sword, and then came outside again. All the veteran soldiers When they saw Dakui coming out, they all stood up and waited for instructions.
"Brothers, please take a seat," Dakui said with a smile on his face.
The old soldiers dared not sit down, but they still stood there waiting for Da Kui to speak. When Da Kui saw this, he could only laugh and said: "Zhang is new here, and I hope you will take care of me." Unexpectedly, as soon as Da Kui finished speaking, the old soldiers unexpectedly They each found a corner and sat down against the wall. They all half-closed their eyes and pretended to sleep, but Dakui was a little confused for a moment.
There was an old soldier beside him but he stood there silently. Da Kui couldn't help but asked: "Brother, what's your surname?"
The old soldier smiled and said: "My surname is Huo, and I am the leader of these old guys," and he laughed twice.
"Oh, Brother Huo," Da Kui smiled cordially, without any sign of being a senior official.
Lao Huo also smiled, but secretly tugged on the lapel of Dakui's clothes, then turned and walked out of the room.
Da Kui knew that Lao Huo had something to say, so he followed him out quietly and came to a quiet place. Lao Huo smiled and said: "Colonel Zhang, I don't know whether to say something or not."
Dakui frowned when he heard this and said: "From now on, everyone will eat from the same pot, why should we be so open-minded? If Brother Huo has something to say, it's okay to say it."
"Even if I, the superior officer, have to show my dignity, if I just accommodate the big guys, it will be unconvincing. How can a sheep manage a group of sheep?" Although Lao Huo said very little, he said it The truth.
The common people, whether they are officials or landlords, the way to deal with the people is two words: "coercion". If you don't coerce, the people will not pay taxes to the officials and will not pay food to the landlords. This is an eternal truth. , has anyone seen the common people take the initiative to go to the Yamen to pay taxes, and has anyone seen the common people take the initiative to deliver grain to the landlord’s house.
If you insist on being more serious, there are really two types of people, one is forced to have no choice but, the other is those who want to ask for others.
