Following the soldier who was responsible for placing the new recruits, Wang Xun looked around as he walked. He had to admit that Feng Changqing had a very good way of running the army. It had only been a few days since he took over the Feilong Forbidden Army, but the entire military camp had completely lost its past.
That kind of extravagance and laziness. Rows of brick-and-wood buildings were cleaned from the inside out. Weeds and horse manure on the ground were swept away, and all the potholes were filled with Sanhe soil.
It was flattened with stones again. It looks smooth and neat, no less than the streets in Chang'an City.
When Wang Xun passed by here a few months ago, the clothes he saw hanging out to dry were all put away and replaced by different flags. In front of the first room in each row of buildings, there were
A flagpole was erected, and at the top of the flagpole, a corner flag indicating the ownership of the building was fluttering in the wind. On the flag, there were words such as team one on the left, team two on the right, team three on the right, etc., for people to see.
This way you can tell which establishment the owner of the house belongs to.
After walking for about half a stick of incense, we arrived at the building specially set aside to accommodate the new recruits. The soldier who led the way pointed to the first room of the house on the left and whispered: "Your Excellency lives here.
Right. This house is spacious and has better ventilation than other houses!"
"Let me live here?" Wang Xun looked at the corner flag with the words "New Seventh Brigade Second Team" written on the top of the flagpole in front of the house and said hesitantly.
The soldier who was leading the way was stunned by his question. He thought for a while and then carefully answered, "Your Excellency holds the title of deputy lieutenant Xuanjie of the eighth rank. Logically speaking, it is more than enough to be a brigade commander. But they Feilong Imperial Guards
There have always been more officers and fewer soldiers, and Mr. Zhou didn't explicitly mention you to hold any position just now, so I have no choice but to humiliate you and stay in the team leader's room for the whole night, and then make adjustments after your actual teaching position is confirmed!"
He spoke like an adult, which made Wang Xun's scalp numb, and he almost had nowhere to put his hands and feet. Finally, after the other party finished speaking, he took a long breath and explained with a smile: "I didn't mean that. I mean, I
He’s new here, so he probably won’t be able to be a team leader!”
The soldier leading the way shook his head, obviously unable to give Wang Xun any answer. Seeing that the other party's expression did not seem to be deliberately teasing him,
Wang Xun had no choice but to take off the luggage roll from the horse, put it on his shoulders, raise his legs and slowly walk towards the house.
The soldier who led the team didn't say anything, and silently helped Wang Xun to lift the other luggage from behind the saddle, carried it to the house, picked it up and put it away in a clean place. Then he clenched his fists and saluted Wang Xun, preparing to go back to deliver the mission.
"Use this little money to buy a glass of wine for your brother!" Wang Xun still carried the habit of visiting taverns in Chang'an City. He felt in his pocket and took out a small bunch of copper coins, about forty.
It looked like this and was stuffed into the hands of the soldier.
"No, no, no!" The soldier leading the way turned pale with fright, waving his hands and striding back. "Sir, please don't harm me. General Feng is very strict. Collect money and behead!"
"Behead?" Wang Xun was stunned again. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that what the other party was talking about was military regulations. Just a few copper coins? If this rule was followed, I am afraid that no one in the entire capital would be able to survive.
Put it on your neck!
The soldier knew that Wang Xun had no ill intentions. He looked around and quickly stuffed the coins back, "I'm leaving. Sir, please be careful. The rules of our Anxi Army are no better than those outside!"
"Are you from the Anxi Army?" Wang Xun was confused and had no place to resolve it. He finally caught someone who could say a few words to him, so how could he let him go so easily? He stepped forward and grabbed the trip armor leather rope on the other person's arm.
Asked in a low voice.
"Ah! Yes!" Xiao Bing gave the most concise and concise answer, which proved that Wang Xun's vision in selecting people was really not very good.
"Then you, then you..." With such a person who is not good at talking, Wang Xun's mouth became clumsy. After mumbling for a long time, he asked, "Then you
He should be an officer helping General Feng train the Feilong Guards, why are he still wearing this..."
"Subordinate, I have just been promoted to a casual position. Now, in the camp, I only help Mr. Zhou place new recruits. I have not been assigned any actual duties." The soldier who led the way looked at the nine stitches sewn on his left shoulder.
Pin held the mark of the halberd leader and responded sarcastically.
Seeing that the other party was so nervous, Wang Xun felt that he was too reckless. He quickly cupped his hands and whispered: "I don't know this, brother, don't blame me for talking too much!"
"No, it's okay!" The soldier leading the way smiled slightly, showing a few white teeth.
"You haven't asked me your eldest brother's name yet?" Wang Xun thought for a while and continued to get close to him.
"Fu, Wugui, my surname is Su. Just call me Su Shenxing!" Xiao Bing's answer was very simple, and he would never say anything more that Wang Xun didn't ask.
'Be careful with your words and deeds, it really suits your name.' Wang Xun muttered quietly in his heart, put on a harmless smile on his face, and continued to talk to the other party unyieldingly, "Brother Su is following General Feng back."
You're offering prisoners to the emperor, right? I've seen you parade down the street to praise your merits. I was so envious that my eyes were filled with envy. I didn't expect to be able to talk to the heroes so close today!"
"No, I don't dare take it!" Su Shenxing's numb hair stood on end. He waved his hands and backed away. "I, I have to go. Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou is still waiting for me to come back. Go back and give the order!"
After that, he stopped paying attention to anything Wang Xun said and ran away.
'I actually scared one away!' Wang Xun scratched his head in distress. Without Su Shenxing, he didn't know who he could turn to to solve all his questions. After looking around for a moment, he found that there was a vague sign in the building for recruits opposite.
There was a shadow moving around, and I felt happy, so I quickly walked forward with a smiling face.
"Don't come over here!" A head immediately popped out of the window opposite and yelled at Wang Xun. "If you want to get beaten, climb the flagpole yourself. Don't come over to harm us!"
"Harm you?" Wang Xun was stunned and stopped hesitantly.
"You're new here, take a look at the stone tablet at the door first. It's in the middle of the road, yes, that's it!" The unfamiliar face at the window quickly noticed the confusion Wang Xun was facing, and pointed to the stone tablet connecting the various buildings.
A straight road, remind me with a smile.
Wang Xun followed the other person's hand and found a huge stone tablet. The tablet had obviously been carved just a few days ago, and the ink marks on the words looked very thick. Wang Xun hurriedly took a few steps and rushed to the stone tablet.
When I got closer, I widened my eyes and read it carefully, and I saw the words written in very concise words on the stone tablet: "If you hear the drum but don't advance, if you hear the gold, you can't raise the flag, if you can't lay down the flag, this is called rebelling against the army, and the offender will be killed."
. Responding to the call by name, not arriving when the time is called, failing to arrive after the deadline, and changing the law of the teacher, this is called a slow army, and the offender will be killed. Calling for trouble at night, being lazy and not retaliating, even more arrogance, and the signal is unclear, this is
It is said that the army is slack, and the offender will be beheaded. If there are many complaints, the general is angry, he will not obey the restraint, and it is difficult to control, this is called the army, and the offender will be beheaded. If he shouts and laughs, defies the prohibition, and rushes into the army gate, this is
It is called a light army, and the offenders will be killed..."
There were seventeen items in total, fifty-four cuts. Wang Xun felt cold sweat break out on the back of his neck. Fortunately, under the bloody military regulations, there was also a line of small words that said, "Recruit training. In case of ignorance, first-time offenders will be punished with five rounds of military sticks."
10. Those who commit the crime again will be punished twice as much. Those who commit the third offense and do not change will be punished without mercy!"
"God!" Wang Xun let out a miserable howl in his heart. He finally understood why the people in the building opposite just refused to let him go over to chat. He laughed loudly and defied the prohibition. If he was caught by the patrolling officer, he would
No one can escape with fifty unjust punishments!
Just when he was regretting why he came to hang out in the army without thinking clearly, several people walked quickly not far away. The first one was the officer with the huge scar on his face. When he saw Wang Xun, he walked away from a distance.
Waved to him, "Deputy Lieutenant Wang, please wait a moment. I have something to tell you!"
Wang Xun, who was still in shock, stood up straight instinctively, stood solemnly and raised his hands, "Sir, please speak! I am all ears!".
Seeing him like this, the scarred-faced officer smiled proudly, "Hey hey hey, you must be scared. I guessed that Su Shenxing might scare you, so I ran over quickly. Don't be scared.
"Although these military regulations are strict, General Feng is a good boss. As long as you don't violate it intentionally, you will never allow anyone to deliberately find trouble with you!"
After hearing these words, Wang Xun's heart finally dropped a few points into his stomach. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir. May I ask, sir, what orders do you have from me?"
"It's like this. Come with me and let's talk as we walk!" The scarred-faced officer smiled and walked towards the house where Wang Xun lived. He smiled and announced his family name, "My surname is Zhou, and I am a new recruit.
Captain of the battalion, you can call me Lao Zhou, or you can do the same as them and call me Tiger Zhou!"
"I don't dare, I have met Mr. Zhou!" Wang Xun, who had just dealt with Su Shenxing, who was very talkative, was extremely uncomfortable with Captain Zhou's enthusiasm, so he bowed his hand very politely and replied in a low voice.
Captain Zhou shook his head and refused to quarrel with Wang Xun on the title. "The new military camp is short of officers. Since you are the eighth-grade Xuanjie, you can just serve as the leader of the first team. Although Su Shenxing cannot speak, you can give
The accommodation you arranged is just right. I will leave it to you to take care of the second team of the seventh brigade of the new military camp..."
"You must not!" Wang Xun quickly interrupted before Captain Zhou could finish his words, "This subordinate has just arrived, and his eyes are completely dark. Your Excellency, please do not hand over this team to your subordinates, otherwise, I will
This must be a joke! Before my subordinates came, I told General Feng that I was willing to start from a small soldier. Please take back your orders, Mr. Zhou!"
"Do you really just want to be a soldier?" Captain Zhou was stunned, the scars on his face twitching up and down along with his eyelids.
"Yes, I am willing to start as a small soldier!" Wang Xun was so frightened by the ferocious appearance of the other party that his heart shivered, but he kept his spirits up and kept his eyes on him.
After staring at Wang Xun for a long time, Captain Zhou didn't see any sign of hypocrisy. He smiled and slowly withdrew his knife-like gaze, "You want to be a soldier, but I can't let you do that.
It doesn't matter if your eyes are dark. I will send you two deputies. Discuss everything with them and make sure you don't get into trouble. Deputy Lieutenant Zhao, Deputy Lieutenant Li, from today on, you two are the new ones.
As the deputy of the second team of the 7th Brigade, within two months, whether it is the new recruits in the team or the veterans of the Forbidden Army who have been assigned for training, I want to see them reborn!"
"No!" The two officers who had been following Captain Zhou took half a step forward, clasped their fists and accepted the order.
"Zhou Du..." Wang Xun wanted to refuse again, but Captain Zhou glared him back. "You are so long-winded. If you don't understand something, ask your team deputy. You are Feng
Don't embarrass the person the general personally selected. Otherwise, the brothers will never let you go."
I just wanted to hide in the military camp for a few days, and I didn’t think about getting promoted! Wang Xun smiled bitterly in his heart, but he had to imitate the two lieutenants and stood with his fists solemnly, "No! I will obey the command of the captain."
!”
"Is this right?" Lieutenant Zhou changed his face faster than flipping through a book. The thunder was rolling just now, but the rain had cleared up in an instant. "If you have any other requests, just tell me directly. I, Zhou Laohu, will never do it.
Make things difficult for your brothers!"
Note 1: The military system of the Tang Dynasty followed the old rules of the Sui Dynasty. Every 800 to 1,200 people had a Zhechong Mansion, and the leader was the Zhechong Duwei. Under him, there was one left and right Guoyi Duwei, Chang Shi, Bing Cao, and Bie Chong.
There is one general and six lieutenants each. Three hundred soldiers are a regiment, and the regiment has a lieutenant. One hundred soldiers are a brigade, and there is one brigade leader. Fifty soldiers are a team, and there is one captain. Ten soldiers are fire, and the fire has a fire leader.
