Li Siye stood on the ring with a serious face and said loudly to the soldiers: "I will announce the training next. Every morning at the beginning of the morning, I will cover my armor and run for ten miles. I have already practiced weapons duel, and I am already practicing archery with bows and crossbows! The fifth in the regiment
There will be a small competition on the day and a big competition on the tenth day. The competition items are infantry fighting, horse fighting, and archery. Soldiers who finish last in three consecutive competitions will be fined, and officers who finish last in three consecutive competitions will be demoted!
objection!"
There was silence in the school grounds, and no one seemed to want to speak.
Yan Xiaosi, the leader of the team, had a sullen look on his face and was about to stand up and speak when his wrist was grabbed by Cheng Jichang in front of him. He struggled to free himself after two attempts. He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should retreat or not.
When he was about to break free for the third time, Cheng Jichang, who had grabbed his wrist, let go, and the confused Yan Xiaosi just dodged out of the team. He looked back at Brother Cheng Liu, who raised his head high and thought it was
He didn't see it, so Yan Xiaosi had no choice but to dare to face Colonel Li directly.
Li Siye also looked surprised, he really is an honest man!
"Whoever comes out of the queue, please tell me your name!"
Yan Xiaosi replied loudly: "The Zuo Brigade and the Zuo Brigade are in charge, Yan Xiaosi!"
Li Siye's tone suddenly became warm again: "What are you dissatisfied with?"
The soldiers standing on both sides of the duty room suddenly showed nervous expressions on their faces. This Yan Xiaosi is going to be in bad luck!
Yan Xiaosi was originally worried, but now that he has come forward, he can't retreat, so he has to bite the bullet and pretend to be a warrior: "I want to ask the captain, if you are an official and you don't need hungry soldiers, why are we recruiting people in Anxi?
Because Anxi soldiers’ pay is generous! Now other regiments’ pay has been paid to May, but our regiment has not even paid it to the second month! We obey Li Xiaowei’s strict military discipline, but we must first let the brothers have no worries
stop!"
Li Siye tugged on the short beard on his chin, nodded and said: "Commander Yan Xiaosi, you are right, the officers are not short of hungry soldiers. Regarding the shortage of pay, I will find a way to solve it as soon as possible. You can go back first
In the queue, ready to participate in training."
Yan Xiaosi was obviously not satisfied and asked loudly: "May I ask the captain? How long will it take as soon as possible?"
Li Siye pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said helplessly: "In fifteen days, I will solve it for you and get back to the queue quickly."
Yan Xiaosi seemed to be trying hard to be the thorn in the side, so he simply scratched his head and asked: "Captain, wait a minute! What should you say if you can't give us full salary after fifteen days?"
Li Siye's stomach suddenly burned with real fire. You kid is just kicking your nose in the face, isn't it?
He sneered, stared at Yan Xiaosi with a stern look and said, "Fifteen days later, if I can't pay my salary? How about taking the blame and resigning as the school captain of the Eighth Regiment?
Yan Xiaosi's face was full of pride at the moment. He dared to ask for payment from the captain in front of him, and he dared to force the captain to make a promise. He even dared to force the captain to cut off his own retreat. This was something that had never happened before. He, Yan Xiaosi,
Fourth is about to become famous! Regardless of whether the reputation is good or bad, when the salary is paid, the whole regiment will be grateful to him! Even if the salary cannot be paid, he can force the captain to resign from his official position. This is an awesome thing, and it is enough to make people praise him.
Year.
He proudly and respectfully made a cross-hand salute: "In that case, Yan Xiaosi returns to the team and waits for the good news of the captain." After saying this, he was about to turn around and enter the queue.
"Wait a minute."
Yan Xiaosi's calves trembled and he stopped in place.
Li Siye snorted coldly: "There is a price to pay for being in the limelight! I have just announced a ban. Those who deliberately cause trouble will be detained for fifteen days. Yan Xiaosi, you contradicted your superiors in public, and I put you in detention. Do you have any complaints?"
Yan Xiaosi puffed up his belly and crossed his hands in response: "Yan Xiaosi should accept the punishment of the captain, whether it is a beating with a military stick or a solitary confinement. If I frown even half a moment, I am not the son of my mother-in-law."
Punishment in the Anxi army mainly consists of beatings with military sticks, with thirty blows for light punishments and a hundred blows for heavy punishments. There are such tough guys in the army who can withstand military sticks. Yan Xiaosi is one of these tough guys, so he is naturally not afraid.
Such punishments.
"Okay," Li Siye immediately ordered the soldiers: "Take Yan Xiaosi into the confinement room. He will choose the room. Bring him a toilet. He will have two meals a day. All his defecation and defecation will be done in the confinement room. During the confinement period, anyone can
You are not allowed to approach the solitary room. If anyone dares to violate it, the person in solitary confinement will be punished for an additional day!"
Yan Xiaosi held his head high and was escorted by two guards into the small dark room. After entering, the two guards added a copper latch to the outside of the door.
Cheng Jichang had an ominous premonition in his heart. He knew at a glance that Li Siye was not a generous person. How could Yan Xiaosi spare him so easily when he was so contradictory? There must be something weird about this so-called confinement room.
As soon as Xiao Si was put into the closed room, three soldiers wearing soap robes entered the school field from a distance, arms around their shoulders and shoulders. When they saw the field lined up for cleaning, they were stunned for a moment, then quietly turned back and prepared to escape.
"stop!"
The three of them, their waists weak and their legs weak, took small steps to the ordering platform and fell to the ground.
"Where did you go last night?"
One of them mumbled and replied: "Qi Lieutenant, I'm going to Hu Ji Tower."
"You haven't been paid for four months, haven't you? How can you still have money to pick orchid flowers?"
"For the record, Lieutenant Colonel, we are usually frugal, and this is the remaining money we have saved."
Li Siye was going to send these three people to solitary confinement, but wouldn't Yan Xiaosi have company? He could only wave his hand and said: "Let's fight with military sticks..."
After solving this little episode, Li Siye immediately ordered each team to lead the training, and he himself also practiced chopping skills on the field with a Mo knife.
At noon, he returned to the duty room and took off his armor. He lifted up his front shirt and wiped the sweat from his face. He picked up the cowhide water bottle and took a sip before sitting back in front of the desk.
Fujimaki walked in from the outside and crossed his arms and said: "Captain, you are too reckless. How can you agree to settle the salary? This is a mess left by your predecessor. Besides, where did you get so much money?"
Li Siye rubbed the corners of his eyes and said helplessly: "It is only natural that you will be a soldier and receive food and pay. They don't care whether you are the predecessor or successor. The difficulties of the Eighth Regiment are not just a little bit. If you want to unite the people who have been separated, you must do it one by one.
Let's settle it piece by piece. Go down and calculate for me how much it will take to pay the entire regiment, even until May."
He entered the inner room and wore a dark green crotchless robe over his middle coat. Half of the crotch fell off without the buckle, making it appear looser. He picked up his sword and hung it on his belt, and faced the people sitting in the room settling accounts.
Fujimaki said: "You just stay in the duty room. I'll go to Zhechong Mansion to see if I can get some money from Captain Zhechong."
Fujimaki crossed his arms and said, "Here."
Li Siye came to Zhechong Duwei's Mansion. Two soldiers were on duty outside the gate. Seeing that he was wearing an officer's robe, they did not stop him.
When he entered the hall, he saw Chief Shen Si sitting cross-legged behind the desk, writing with a pen.
Li Siye bowed his hand towards him: "Shen Changshi."
Shen Changshi put down his pen and looked up, and it turned out to be Li Siye. He was a vicious man. He quickly stood up with his hands on the ground and saluted in return: "Liu Lieutenant, why are you here at Zhechong Mansion?"
"I have something urgent to ask to see Captain Zhechong."
"Unfortunately, no, it's a coincidence today. Lieutenant Xu is in the mansion, waiting for me to go and inform you."
Shen Changshi turned around and went to the backyard. Li Siye stood in front of the hall and waited. He looked up at the palace. It was very old and dilapidated, just like the mountain temple in the mountains. This Zhechong Mansion might have been built in the late Zhenguan years.
Because it needs to be disposed of at any time, it is never repaired.
Shen Changshi appeared from the back hall, extended his hand to invite you: "Xu Duwei calls you in."
When he and Shen Changshi came to the backyard, they saw an old man with a slightly hunched back, holding a bamboo hat and planting vegetables in the vegetable patch. He only wore a middle coat and half an arm on his upper body. Shen Changshi crossed his hands and said to the old man:
"Captain Xu, Captain Li is here."
Xu Duwei threw down his hoe, took off his bamboo hat and fanned himself in the cool breeze. Li Siye hurriedly stepped forward and crossed his hands in greeting: "Zhaowu Colonel Li Siye comes to see Xu Duwei."
Xu Duwei breathed hotly and said: "Li Xiaowei, you are here to extort money from me, right?"
