Chapter 102 Join the Army
When Liu Dazhuang led the Hu Ben group to the Hu Prison Pass, Liu Xia led tens of thousands of people to Kaifeng, and there was still some distance from the Hu Prison Pass.
After all, with 70,000 to 80,000 people, tens of thousands of exiles were collected on the road. Naturally, the speed of the march was not fast, and it took less than half of the distance in two days.
"This is Kaifeng Mansion, but there is no city in this place. When Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng Mansion a few years ago, the Yellow River embankment burst, and the whole Kaifeng City was buried under the soil of the Yellow River, razing the original big city of more than 400,000 people to the ground. In the end, only tens of thousands of people escaped.
"Yes, every time the Yellow River breaks the dike and changes the way, it will harm thousands of people. Those dog officials all want to deduct the silver set aside from it, and in the end, the victims are all us ordinary people."
The decline of Kaifeng City made many people sigh that there is only a pile of loess left in the ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties. When Zhu Yuanzhang founded the People's Republic of China, he listed Kaifeng Mansion as Beijing, constantly increasing the construction of the city wall, and the population is gathering more and more. I didn't expect that a burst of the Yellow River would destroy the city of more than 400,000 people.
After, Kaifeng City was recreated and built in the Qing Dynasty. At this time, there was no Kaifeng City.
"Gone the order and make a fire to make rice!"
At this time, it was already evening, and the sky was approaching darkness. Only then did Liu Xia order to stop moving forward.
On the army road, except for stopping at night when rest and eating, the rest of the time does not stop for too long. Liu Xia ordered the logistics department to send the soldiers and the people to make dry cakes at night, which can be regarded as food for tomorrow's day.
"It's time to have a rest. I've been walking for a day, and my feet have been worn out and soaked. I have to ask my mother-in-law to wash my feet for a while." A fat man squatted on the ground, rubbed his dirty feet, and said to a thin man next to him.
The thin man smiled and said, "Brother, you are blessed!"
The fat man smiled happily and said, "Hahahaha, don't envy me. I can see that you are more promising than me, and you will definitely find a good girl in the future."
The thin man lamented, "Brother, don't make fun of my younger brother. How can I find my daughter-in-law like this? Nowadays, even eating depends on the help of the general.
The fat man waved his hand and smiled and said, "Where, the eldest brother didn't make fun of you. Look, the general is constantly recruiting new soldiers in our army. After the eldest brother sees this as a new soldier, the general will definitely not treat you badly. If it hadn't been for the big brother's small drag now, he would have responded to the general's order to be a new recruit under Zhangyang Martial Arts School. Big brother advises you, look at you, you are a seven-foot man, why don't you join the army to fight against the darts? Although you are thin now, you can see that you are hungry. If you can't live a long life by improving your diet, you will be a strong man.
The skinny man said in a voice, "Big brother, do you mean to let my younger brother join the army? However, as far as I know, there are many rules for recruiting new recruits, and it is also a question whether I can pass the assessment. Besides, the eldest brother doesn't know that the younger brother is a literati, not a big man. If you write a word with a pen, I will. Although I am not talented, I have also been a scholar. If it hadn't been for Li Chuangwang's entry into Beijing, I would have gone to the examination. In a few months, no one knew that the poles at home were taken away, so that they were exiled here. Alas"
When the thick and fat man heard it, it turned out that the young man who saved him because he gave him half a piece of dry cake a few days ago was actually a scholar. He quickly panicked and said, "It turned out to be my father-in-law. The villain is really blind and doesn't know Mount Tai."
The thin man quickly waved his hand and said, "Big brother can't do this. You are my little brother's lifesaver. How can you talk like this? Isn't this killing my little brother? What's more, the world is in chaos now, and my little brother has become a depressed person. How dare he be arrogant? Big brother, don't say that in the future.
After a while, the thin man saw that the thick and fat man returned to normal and said, "But the eldest brother is right. Anyway, he is also a seven-foot man. He does nothing every day but is relieved by the Lord. This is a shame. The younger brother figured it out. Whether it works or not, the younger brother will sign up first. If If it becomes, it will serve the country, and the food will be safe. Even if it dies in a war, it will die for the country. It will die in its place, and the death is heavier than Mount Tai. If not, go to the general's logistics department to learn how to cook, which is also a part of my strength for the Ming Dynasty.
The thick and fat man pulled his mouth and raised the hand with his feet fastened. I don't know when there was an extra grass root in his hand. He whispered to the thin man, "Brother, what you said is that you scholars know a lot. All of a sudden, you said that you want to join the army, but you also I know that I still have a daughter-in-law and three children to support, otherwise... Alas, brother, I believe you and will definitely be able to enter the general's army."
The skinny man said sincerely, "Big brother, you don't have to do this. It's not only to join the army to serve the country. Even if you farm more to increase grain production, it's also to serve the country!" Big brother, the younger brother wants to go to see the lord's place to recruit new soldiers while the weather is still early. If he recruits the younger brother and thinks about going over tonight, he won't bother the eldest brother. If he doesn't succeed, he will bother the eldest brother for some days.
The fat man quickly shook his head and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? What is annoyance? Is the eldest brother that kind of person? Brother, since you want to join the army so much, go early."
The thin man smiled dryly and said, "In this case, I will go there first."
After saying that, the thin man got up and left there and walked to the place where Zhang Liang was.
The new barracks is divided into two parts, one is composed of more than 3,000 soldiers who were previously captured, and the other is composed of 2,000 recruits recruited by Zhang Liangxin. The 3,000 soldiers do not need too much training, because these were well-trained elites who used to kill people on the battlefield. Their main job now is to take political classes, that is, brainwashing education.
Another part of the recruits recruited from the people's daily task is training. Of course, it is also accompanied by a small number of political classes. Naturally, the people who take political classes are Chen Liu and Liu Xia. Chen Liu has been teaching them all the time, and Liu Xia will go there when he has time.
The content is not how to serve the country and the court. Liu Xiake doesn't want to train loyal soldiers for Nanming and make wedding clothes for others, so the content instilled is the core of the Han nation.
