Chapter 61 Collecting money to do things, the old man is innocent
The next day, before dawn, Guanyinqiao Station was bustling with people.
Jia Liu, who was both an adult and the team leader, also got up early. After getting dressed and pushing the door open, he saw Yang Zhi and Yang Yuchun standing by the well fetching water.
"Master, you're awake!"
Yang Zhi quickly stepped forward and handed over a ladle of hot water that had just been mixed with cold water, as well as a towel and green salt for washing.
"Um."
Jia Liu was quite satisfied. It felt very comfortable to have someone serving him.
He walked to a broken table at the gate of the post village and put down the ladle. He put some salt on his right index finger and started rubbing his teeth.
Originally, there was a toothbrush made of pig hair. The toothbrush that was used well yesterday suddenly disintegrated, leaving Jia Liu with pig hair in his mouth.
There is no place in the barren mountains to buy new ones, let alone those who don't know how to use bolts, so they can only make do with their fingers.
"Good morning, Captain Jia!"
Wang Fu and Zu Yingyuan got up and saw Jia Liu brushing his teeth at the door. After saying hello, they went to the well to fetch water and wash themselves.
Chang Bingzhong and Liu Heyi were not together with Jia Liufen. They were assigned to the Muguomu Camp. Zu Yingyuan, who wanted to go but could not, was jealous to death.
Baitang'a of other flags also came out of the house one after another, half of them were Han soldiers with red flags.
Jia Liu didn't know most of these people, except for Cui Hengyou, whom he caught and fined twice.
However, the boy named Cui was also a very perceptive person. When he heard that he was going to Menuo Village with Captain Jia, he gave Captain Jia a piece of silver before the team even set off, meaning to take good care of him.
Just take care of me.
Jia Liu was a man who took money to get things done, and he immediately appointed Cui Hengyou as the captain of the first team.
As the number of the team increased to 106, in order to facilitate effective top-down command and establish Jia Liu's leadership, Jia Liu took the initiative to temporarily divide the team into five teams without consulting anyone.
The first team leader is Cui Hengyou who was given a piece of silver;
The second team leader is Zu Yingyuan who was not given any money but has some abilities;
The third team leader is Wang Fu, who has no money and no ability;
Since he could not wait for activists like Cui Hengyou to appear, Jia Liu had no choice but to give the positions of the fourth and fifth team captains to two guys who looked tall and powerful.
Although this move was made out of helplessness, it inadvertently greatly improved Mr. Jia's image in the hearts of the bannermen's children.
At least, now no one will call him a flatterer or a coward behind his back.
In addition to making it easier to command, the most important thing about appointing a squad leader is that someone can arrange the people below Jia Liu. Otherwise, he would have to be busy with everything. Wouldn't this delay his service to the Qing Dynasty?
The postmen of Guanyinqiao Station got up early to cook breakfast, and the smoke rose, making the drizzling valley look very classical.
The feeling of landscape painting.
Jia Liu finished brushing his teeth, picked up the gourd and took a big sip. He held it in his throat without finishing it, raised his head to the sky, and started to "gurgling".
After finishing, I spit out water, took a towel to wash my face, squeezed it dry and put it on my shoulders. I was about to go back to have breakfast when I saw a team coming from the east to transport troops and rice to the front.
The last campsite at Guanyin Bridge Station was a checkpoint called Ivan, about ten miles away. Although the road was relatively easy, it still took more than an hour to reach Guanyin Bridge.
Therefore, these people got up very early.
It's not easy.
Jia Liu, who has always been close to people, waved his hands to greet the fellow citizens naturally: "Fellow, thank you for your hard work!"
No one responded.
The civilians who kept struggling to pull or push forward in front of Jia Liu were a little afraid of the official standing at the entrance of the military post.
Even the official looked very kind to them and had a smile on his face.
"Good job."
No one paid attention to Jia Liu, but it did not affect him in telling these civilians to pay attention to keeping warm from the cold and pay attention to safety.
A few green soldiers came from the back of the team, and the leader was not a high-ranking officer, he looked like a senior officer.
The lowest establishment of the Green Battalion is the flood, which usually ranges from dozens to hundreds of people in a flood. The general is the commander, which is equivalent to a company in later generations.
The soldier below is officially called Zhengyong.
Generally, ten Zhengyong are assigned to one commander, and five to one sentry is called a sentry commander. There are at most three sentry commanders in a season, and usually there are only two sentries. In addition, there is a team of co-yongs, which are cooks.
From the perspective of later generations, this commander should be considered a squad leader.
When the squad leader of the miscellaneous army sees the platoon leader of the Central Army, he will definitely stop and stand at attention.
Of course, the Qing army did not have this rule.
But this did not affect Na Shichang from listening respectfully to the superior's instructions.
"Which part do you belong to?"
"To tell you what the adults are saying, the young ones came from Jingzhou to deliver rice."
"Jingzhou?"
Jia Liuyi wanted to be good, he came from Hubei, how tired he must have been all the way.
"May I have your name?"
"Sir, my name is Ma Lu!"
"Oh...the weather has been bad these two days, the road is slippery, and the road ahead is narrower than before. You should pay attention to the safety of civilians."
"嗻!"
Just as Ma Lu was about to leave, Mr. Jia stopped him again: "Who is that?"
"Sir, little Malu!"
"Ma Lu? Yes, yes... Whether you are a soldier or a commoner, you are all serving the imperial court. Don't push too hard. You want to let people breathe."
Jia Liu pointed to the peasants who were transporting grain in front, "If the grain period is not too tight, let them sleep a little longer."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and said, "Go ahead and pay attention to safety on the road."
Whether Malu would do as he said, Jia Liu didn't think so.
But this did not affect his ability to speak in a leader's tone, because after arriving at Meino Village, as a platoon leader, he was probably not qualified to speak.
When he turned around and went back to the post, he found that Yang Yuchun had brought Goudan over, and Yang Zhi was using the young master's cotton armor to scratch Goudan's body.
"What to do?"
"Master, I heard from people in the post that there are often fake Han people pretending to be our people to assassinate Goudan. I was afraid that something would happen to Goudan, so I got him an armor to wear, so as to prevent Goudan from being stabbed to death."
"..."
A relationship between a father and a mother is not as good as a relationship between a dog and a bear.
............
Jia Liu ignored Shuan Zhu for a long time because he was really angry.
There was really an assassination attempt by fake Han people, and the assassin was also an official like the young master. What's the point of giving body armor to a flowery bear?
Is the young master inferior to the dog, or is the dog stronger than the young master?
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I looked back and let out a sigh.
Hua Gou Xiong, who was forced by Yang Zhi to be taken to the back mountain and released into the forest, actually followed the team all the time.
"Shut Zhu!"
"Here you are, Master!"
"Didn't I tell you to let go of your dog's balls?"
"It's okay."
"Let go? What's behind that!"
"Huh!"
When Yang Zhi saw Goudan behind the team, he was stunned for a moment, then jumped as high as a child and rushed over.
The flower bear actually allowed Yang Zhi to hold him, and from time to time he would stick out his tongue and lick it, as if he missed you to death.
"Master..."
Yang Zhi, who was holding Goudan and standing beside the young master's horse, had a pleading look on his face. Yang Yuchun also looked like he was hesitant to speak.
Jia Liuxin said to you two fools, that cute beast treats you as a long-term meal ticket and is clearly relying on you!
If Jia Liu was a bitch, he would definitely not leave.
Why?
Is the bamboo delicious with meat and rice?
"Take it with you."
Since he couldn't throw it away, Jia Liu had no choice but to take it with him. Who said that thing was a national treasure?
After crossing the suspension bridge and covering about three or four miles, Jia Liu and the others had to dismount.
The road ahead is too narrow and only one car can go.
Jia Liu felt a little panicked when he thought that Sun Tong, the chief minister of Guanyinqiao Station, had said that there had been assassinations recently.
He raised his head and looked at the hillsides on both sides. With the current terrain and this ant-like team, if a hundred and eighty soldiers really appeared and rushed down, even the gods would not be able to save the situation.
Fortunately, there is a watchtower on the slope ahead.
The green flag of the Green Camp was flying on the tower, and a group of Green Camp soldiers were stationed there.
There are as many as seven or eight watchtowers along the way. In fact, there is one every three to four hundred meters, but because of the mountain road, it goes around and around, making it feel like there is one very far away.
After passing through this narrow strip of land without any danger, Jia Liu breathed a sigh of relief and camped that night at a place called Shuimoguan. A battalion of the Sichuan Green Camp was stationed here, and there were four stone blockhouses nearby that had been captured by the Green Camp.
.
We continued on the road the next day and finally arrived at our destination, Menuoguan Village, before the sun was about to set. This place was originally the residence of the chieftain of Xiaojinchuan, Seng Gesang. After Hailancha attacked this place with 600 Sauron dead soldiers, the monks
Kelsang took the rest of his troops and fled to Jinchuan.
It sounds like it's called Guanzhai, but in fact, Menuo is a very big place, at least the size of a town. At this time, the entire Guanzhai inside and outside has completely turned into a large military camp, with Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers. Soldiers from all over the country were transported to the North Route Army.
Food supplies are also mostly concentrated here.
After leaving the team to wait outside the stronghold, Jia Liu took the relevant vouchers and went to report to the chief of the stronghold. Soon, he was taken by the soldiers to a building that looked like a two-story building.
The one who "received" Jia Liu was a Han army forward colonel named Guo Guangquan, a member of the Yellow Banner, sixth rank.
After seeing the relevant certificates presented by Jia Liu, Guo Guangquan wanted to register Jia Liu and then arrange accommodation for the people he brought with him. The specific "work" would have to be arranged tomorrow.
While he was busy, someone came over and called Guo Guangquan to go to the household.
"This is over,"
Guo Guangquan put down his pen, looked up at Jia Liu, smiled, and said, "It's a good time for you to come. Come with me."
Jia Liu didn't understand what he meant, but he honestly followed Guo Guangquan to the place called the household. When he entered the house, he saw that there were more than a dozen Eight Banners officers inside.
There are two who are ninth-grade Lanling leaders like Jia Liu, but most of them are fifth- and sixth-grade forward schools and forward officers.
"The newly assigned Lan Lingchang has just arrived,"
After Guo Guangquan introduced Jia Liu to everyone, he smiled and said to a middle-aged man sitting inside who looked like he was writing: "Old Zhang, please give me an extra share."
"good."
The man named Zhang took a blue bag from a pile of bags and handed it over.
Guo Guangquan took it and stuffed it into the hands of Jia Liu who didn't know why. He patted his shoulder and said, "Put it away. Save some flowers. I can only get it next month."
ah?
When the silver bag was handed to his hand, Jia Liu immediately felt his hand heavy. He estimated that it was more than a hundred taels.
What else can there be besides silver?
Then look at the Eight Banners officers in the room. They all have bags in their hands, some big and some small, divided into three colors: red, yellow and blue.
What is this money?
Monk Jia Liuzhen was confused, but he vaguely felt that he had come to the right place.
Because, at this moment, it seems that he is not Jia Liu, but Lei Luo.
