Chapter Fourteen: The Killing Stick
tractor.
They are soldiers of their small flag.
Tie Niu is not a nickname, but his surname is Tie Niu. He is in his twenties this year, and he is as famous as his name. He has a face with a national character, a beard all over his face, dark skin, and strong as if he is a cow.
Tie Niu is also good at dancing big guns, spears, and can drive two stone bows. He is a rare good soldier in this hundred-household office with a weak military discipline.
It is precisely because of the lack of military discipline that Tienniu can only be a soldier.
On weekdays, their relationship is neither good nor bad.
Wu Nian put the dishes and chopsticks in the pot, covered the lid, and washed them when he came back. Then he left the kitchen and opened the yard door.
"It's a titan. Is there anything wrong?"
Wu Nian looked up at the thick iron cow and asked calmly.
"When you go in and talk, it's very cold here." Although Tie Niu was strong, he was quite afraid of the cold. He shivered and said.
"I was negligent, please." Wu Nian apologized and welcomed the iron cow into the main hall and sat down.
"It smells so good. Did you really go into the mountain and hunt a deer back? When I heard that, I thought it was their joke." After Tie Niu sat down, his nose moved and smelled the smell of meat.
"Good luck. The sika deer hit my arrow and sent it in by itself." Wu Nian said lightly without much talk.
Tieniu also thought that Wu Nian should be lucky. He knew that this drunkard was so weak that he didn't shoot very much.
But he just sighed that he was lucky and was not jealous. He was a hunter himself and often went to the mountains to hunt, and he ate a lot of meat at home.
"Yesterday, the military order came down and we asked us to gather. As a result, you were not in the Hundred Houses. Lord Xiaoqi asked me to inform you and ask you to gather in the military camp early tomorrow morning."
"Also. Because you didn't attend, Lord Xiaoqi got angry. Don't blame me for not reminding you, tomorrow you will have a better attitude. Otherwise, you might be beaten."
Tie Niu finally put aside nonsense and entered the topic.
Wu Nian's eyes flashed with a flash of light. He stood up solemnly and bowed to Tie Niu, saying, "Thank you, brother, for your advice."
Tieniu looked at Wu Nian in surprise, and later realized that Wu Nian seemed to be a little different. Wu Nian in the past would not be so concise.
"You guy seems a little abnormal." Tie Niu touched his chin covered with beard and looked at Wu Nian suspiciously.
But he didn't think much about it, and waved his hand happily: "You are polite. There are no good people who are officials. Although you are a drunkard and a gambler, you have not offended me on weekdays. Of course I will take care of you if you have any problems.
.”
"Okay. I'll say so much. I'll leave. Your room is so cold. I'd better go back and sleep with my wife in my arms."
Tieniu stood up and patted his butt and left.
"Brother, go slowly." Wu Nian politely delivered Tie Niu to the door, waved his hand, and watched Tie Niu's body plunged into the night.
"This guy can handle the officials and the conflict between being a soldier is also very big."
Wu Nian collected the original owner's memory and thought to himself.
The military discipline of the Great Chu State was abolished and corrupt.
Tienniu is a good soldier, but he can only be a good soldier.
Although Xiaoqi only brought ten soldiers, the official was appointed as the seventh rank, and he was the official. Iron Niu was unable to get the position of Xiaoqi.
The small flag has ten soldiers, which is theory. In practice, it is not certain. Their small flag has never been full, and there are only five soldiers at present.
According to the laws of the Great Chu State.
Every soldier who has no wife gives him five dou of rice, which is sixty pounds. If he has a wife gives him six dou of rice.
The battle robe is changed every three years.
The situation in the Great Chu State is now decayed. The original owner couldn't figure out how much military rations the imperial court sent.
Anyway, in Wu Nian's hands, there are only two dou of rice per month.
The battle robe hasn't been changed for more than ten years.
The original owner's battle robe was inherited from Wu's father.
The officials exploited each layer of labor and were vacant. From time to time, they asked their soldiers to help farm.
How to reconcile the conflict between the soldiers and officials?
He had already suspected that Zhang Yong would collude with Xiaoqi and Li Ding to deal with him. Now Tieniu has told him clearly that Li Ding has indeed lost his temper and may take the opportunity to play.
"It's not that easy for you to mess with me." Wu Nian sneered, and had some conspiracy in his heart.
After standing for a while, Wu Nian felt cold and shivered and went back to the house. He went to see Liu Xiang first. Seeing that Liu Xiang was asleep, he did not disturb her. He put away the dishes and washed them together. Then he went back to himself.
Sleeping in the room.
Early the next morning.
Wu Nian cooked lotus seed porridge early and ate it by himself. After going to see Liu Xiang, her complexion improved a little and she could go to the ground by herself.
Wu Nian asked her to go to eat porridge by herself. When he went back to the house, put on a torn battle jacket, hung a knife, put on an iron helmet, picked up a big gun, went out and came to the military camp to report.
There are no tents in the military camp, there is a simple hundred-household house. Ten buildings are separated by the house. The main hall is the court of Xiaoqi, and the rest of the rooms are residences.
After Wu Nian arrived in the court, the others had arrived.
In addition to Tie Niu, there are also Zhang Sheng, Wang Gui, and Li Yong.
Tieniu is a good soldier, Zhang Sheng is also 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, the original owner of the drunkard was mostly a crooked person.
The four of them 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.
The soldiers Wu Nian and others were wearing war jackets, that is, cotton armor. Li Ding was wearing iron armor. He was in his prime, strong and strong, with a national face. With iron armor, he walked with great power.
His servant Chen Guang is also strong, wearing cotton armor and a helmet.
The servants are not in the organization and are the private armed forces of the officials. Compared with the soldiers under their command, the officials trust their servants more.
Li Ding came to the main seat and sat down, Chen Guang followed closely behind and stood on his left. As soon as he sat down, Li Ding glanced at Wu Nian, and a silence flashed across his face.
"Wu Nian. You are a military household. Yesterday, a large army gathered. But you are not in the hundred household offices. You should be killed according to the rules."
Li Ding did not talk nonsense with Wu Nian, and directly used his ultimate move. He first said this fiercely, but then changed his mind and said, "But everyone is from a hundred households, and they look up and see each other."
"I will show my mercy and give you twenty sticks."
"Tie Niu. Pull Wu Nian down and beat me hard. Don't cheat on me. I will take off my pants later and check it out."
Li Ding raised his head and ordered Tienniu Road.
Everyone is a veteran. Everyone knows that there are two ways to hit a stick.
One is to hit it loudly without hurting the muscles and bones.
One is that the beating is dull and can paralyze the person.
Today, Li Ding first claimed half of his life for Wu Nian, and then talked to him about the land issue of the Wu family.
This is how the senior official defeats people to death.
