As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Xu Kui fetched a bucket of water, filled the water jug to the top, turned around, looked at the rice jug again, and gave a silly smile.
Looking around the kitchen, he saw that the firewood had been chopped and the windows had been repaired, so he walked into the main room.
His mother and wife were sitting there mending clothes, and his son was threading a needle with a needle.
The whole family didn't talk much. When they saw Xu Kui come in, they all stopped what they were doing and stood up to look at him.
Xu Kui picked up the short coat on the chair and put it on. If he wanted to say something, it would be best to say: "I'm leaving."
"Son, just stay for one day?"
"Yeah, I have to go back to camp in the evening."
Xu Kui grinned and gave a silly smile. His son ran forward and hugged his legs. He reached out and touched his son's head.
"This yard is a bit small, but it's really good. I've bought all the charcoal and will marinate the meat later. I'll have a good winter this year. My son will go and earn a good future..."
After all, he could only talk about these small things.
At the end, he took off his short coat and handed it to his wife.
"Put it on, it's cold outside."
"No, I have some clothes to wear when I get back to camp, but it's too hot right now. I left my new coat at home, so I'll wear it during the Chinese New Year."
Xu Kui turned around and walked out. His children walked to the courtyard gate. He closed the door and blocked them in the courtyard.
"Don't give it away, there's nothing to give..."
Someone came over from the alley.
"Hey, Xu Kui."
"Mao Yi'er? You live here too."
"Isn't that right? The houses that Mr. Han found for us are not all in the same place." Mao Yi'er rubbed his hands, looked at Xu Kui's small print, and said, "You killed four?"
"Two of them were found in Yanfanggou, one was chopped by Lao Shichang. One was picked up at Chengmen, and one was found in Hengzishan."
"Hey, we're almost there. We can have a good year this year."
Xu Kui said "hmm" but still didn't say much.
Mao Yi'er said: "Do you recognize Dong Wa? In addition to the reward, the county captain also bought fifty acres of land for his family."
"Shi Chang's family also has one. Lai Jiu'er doesn't want the land. He wants to exchange it for money, and he's afraid he wants to gamble it away. Bao Bantou made the decision and divided Shi Chang's wife and children with Lai Jiu'er. I went there in the morning.
Seen."
"Tsk tsk." Mao Yi'er shook his head and sighed, "The good times have gone too long, unlike those of us who fled here. Fortunately, we brothers have also settled down and put down roots."
"Who are you?"
"Xingyuan Mansion."
"That's a little further north than my hometown in Lizhou, the area in Hanzhong, right? It was lost long ago, right?"
Mao Yi'er said: "Isn't that true? My father has been fleeing for a long time, and the more he fled, the poorer he became. By the way, which squad leader are you assigned to this time?"
"Jiang Bantou."
"What are you going to do now?"
"Um."
"I'm also a captain. I'm in the fifth team and the class leader has been decided."
Xu Kui said: "I don't want to break up, why should we break up? It's good to follow Bantou Liu."
"You don't understand?" Mao Yi'er said: "Including the injured soldiers who have been nursed back to health, we have more than 120 people who have seen blood. Of course, we will divide it equally among the five teams to bring in the new people."
"Then it's fine if I stay in Bantou Liu."
"Bantou Liu is the worst. He has never even fought in a war."
"He did." Xu Kui said, "He said he killed more Mongolians than Bantou Jiang and Bantou Lu combined."
"He lied to you." Mao Yi'er said: "I don't know who will be my supervisor. I don't accept ordinary people..."
The two of them talked casually and returned to the camp on the east bank of Fujiang River.
There were gradually more and more acquaintances on the road, all of them were comrades returning to the camp, and most of them were wearing brand-new coats.
Xu Kui returned to his new dormitory. The two corps commanders were veterans, and there were also a few newcomers.
He wasn't very good at taking care of people yet, so he just told the newbie to sit still.
After becoming a captain, Xu Kui realized that he should make the new school station at least a little better... easy to manage.
The next day, the school grounds.
Mao Yi'er walked past his queue, looked at a new young man, and asked, "What's your name?"
"I already said that."
"I forgot, please say it again."
"Yang Ben."
"Idiot's stupidity?"
Yang Ben frowned, stared at Mao Yi'er, and asked: "You are so stupid, how can you be a good person?"
"What do you mean?!"
"I don't understand what kind of soldiers you are." Yang Ben said, "A warrior from the countryside? An archer? A soldier from the side?"
He actually took a step forward and said: "If you are an archer, you can only be assigned to the first level. How can you be very useful? Qingfu County only has 5,000 households. There should be 20 archers, so why are there 500 people?"
If you are a local hero, you should appoint a custodian, a head, and a captain. Each team has more than 20 people. Five teams are one armor, and the top of the armor is the warden; or every ten people are one armor, five armors are one team, and four
The team is one unit, the five units are one supplement, and the five supplements are one capital club. Where is the captain? Where is the head?
If it is a Xiang army, what is the military number? Which military status does it belong to? Which left wing and right wing does it belong to? Infantry and horse army? Which army? Which command? Which capital? One hundred people of the Xiang army form one capital, and five capitals serve as commanders.
The envoys will set up one commander and one deputy commander respectively. Under them are the military commanders, ten generals, generals, Yu Hou, bureau chiefs and custodians. Where are the ten generals? Where are the custodians?"
Mao Yi'er was stunned after hearing this.
Yang Ben asked again: "What is your position as a commander? Learn from the Mongolian military system?"
"Don't talk nonsense! We are just simple corps commanders, what can we do if we are commanders or hundred commanders?!"
"You don't conform to the rules." Yang Ben said, "You don't conform to the rules. Why should I listen to you?"
"Your mother, you received your salary."
"I don't obey you. You have neither status nor ability, so why should you give me orders?"
Mao Yi'er was furious and turned around to see, but no one came to stop him.
He didn't even decide on a team leader, so he didn't know how to suppress the new guy in front of him.
"Your mother! I killed Meng soldiers before!"
"I think you are just a country bumpkin."
"Your mother!"
"..."
On the far away military command platform, Li Xiazheng and Han Qi'an were standing together, and they also heard the quarrel below.
"He is right, we are indeed out of line."
Han Qi'an said: "Alang can actually organize soldiers and horses according to the organization of local braves. For example, during the reign of Emperor Xiaozong, Wang Yan organized more than 8,400 volunteers in Jingnan Prefecture."
Li Xia shook his head and said, "It's too complicated."
"Yes, the military system of the Song Dynasty is far more complicated than what Xin Ding said. In addition to the rural soldiers, Xiang troops, and forbidden troops, there are also Tibetan soldiers, native soldiers, food forbidden troops, and garrison troops... The establishment is also complicated, and there are forbidden troops
The organization is based on the Xiang army organization."
"The organization of the Mongolian army is simple and more effective. Then we should learn from the organization of the Mongolian army." Li Xia said: "When this year's battle is over, we should not even use the titles of 'river patrolman' and 'archer squad leader', lest we give
The soldiers caused chaos."
"Magistrate Jiang, where is the owner's book?"
"Don't worry about them then."
"Bao Bantou has passed."
Li Xia turned around and saw more than ten people standing outside the camp.
"Leave Bao San alone and let them make noise."
Li Xia gave an order, turned around and walked outside the camp...
On the school grounds, sweat dripped from Mao Yi'er's head.
He turned around and took a look, only to see Bao Sanben coming to rescue him, but he went back halfway.
The prickly-headed man named "Yang Ben" in front of him had a cold expression, with disdain in his eyes, and said: "If you want me to convince you, show your true skills. There's no point in shouting."
Yang Ben looked to be in his early twenties and very thin.
On the first day he came here, he had not yet received his military uniform. He was dressed in rags and had a big scar on his forehead.
It just so happened that he was such a down and out young man, but he had an unruly temper.
"What's going on? Maybe a group of you guys come up and beat me to see if you can convince me."
Mao Yi'er raised his hand and pointed, shouting: "If you don't obey the military law, run around Yuokou Rock ten times for me!"
When he first arrived, Bao San treated him like this.
But Yang Ben didn't listen to him and said coldly: "I said it, why do you want me to listen to you?"
Mao Yi'er glanced back again, looking at Liu Jinsuo, Bao San, Lu Hu, Jiang Fan and others in front.
I saw that the other four teams had already ordered their troops, lined up in an orderly manner, and went to lead the troops to prepare.
But it was not like what was promised last night. It was agreed that Bao San would lead their fifth team first.
"How about this? Archery, strength, horsemanship, boating, whatever is used on the battlefield, you pick one to compete with me." Yang Ben said again: "If you beat me, I will admire your skills. From now on, you can compete with me."
If you want to punish me, I will follow you. But if you are not as good as me, all these talents will be mine."
"How can there be such a thing?!"
"It's not in line with the rules."
Mao Yi'er was so angry that he looked towards the ordering platform subconsciously and found that Li Xia was no longer there.
He secretly said that the county captain was most concerned about military discipline, but for some reason he didn't care about it today.
Suddenly, someone asked: "What's the point of being a minister?"
Mao Yi'er turned around and saw Xiong Shan walking over with more than 20 people...
"The county captain invited me to be the leader of the class. I said I am the leader of the class, not that I am a hundred households." Xiong Shan walked to the school ground and stood still, looked at Yang Ben and said, "Why don't you come and compete with me? If you win,
You will be the leader of this class; but if you lose..."
"It's up to you to punish..."
Li Xia once again stepped onto the troops station.
"It's too chaotic." Han Qi'an said: "Not only this Yang Ben, but also Xiong Shan. In my opinion, it is better to expel Yang Ben."
"It is inevitable that something like this will happen if you create an army with grassroots. Xiong Shan also needs to establish his authority, so let him do it."
That night.
"Haha!" Liu Jinsuo laughed, put his arm around Xiong Shan's shoulders, pointed at Bao San, Lu Hu, and Jiang Fan, and said: "I thought of a name for the five of us, 'Qingfu Five Tigers'! What do you think?
Is it bad or not?"
"Haha." The hook in Jiang Fan's hand hooked on a wooden stake with a "dong" sound, and he swung the wooden stake and threw it far away, as if he was practicing.
"You are the most ordinary."
"Fuck you! Let's have a fight!"
"Just hit me, am I afraid of you?"
Xiong Shan stood up and walked out.
"Xiong Shan, where are you going?"
"Go and see that boy."
Xiong Shan walked through the school grounds, all the way east, and walked to the foot of Yuokou Rock, where he saw Mao Yi'er standing there.
"How many laps has it been?"
"Twenty-five laps." Mao Yi'er said.
"He still doesn't give in?"
"Hey, I'm afraid that if he can really finish thirty laps, he'll be exhausted."
Xiong Shan squinted for a while and saw a tall and thin figure running over from a distance under the moonlight.
Yang Ben was sweating profusely and his steps were a little staggering. He ran past, but continued running without even looking at Xiong Shan.
As he ran, he gradually became a little tired...
Finally, after running a long circle, Yang Ben felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
There were footsteps behind him, and someone helped him.
"I... can finish the run." Yang Ben said.
Xiong Shan didn't say anything, just supported him and continued running forward...
