Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 344 The Ranger

The world's four major origins of rangers are Chang'an, Luoyang, Taiyuan (Bingzhou), and Youzhou.

There are poems to prove that you are a knight-errant.

"Dragon circles the banners, poles and beasts are full of flags, turning over the camp is like moving in the snow. The Chinese army has a team of three thousand riders, all of whom are rangers from Bingzhou."

("Out of the Army" by Rong Yu of the Tang Dynasty.)
There is also "Ning Zhiyan Zhao Pingtingzi, who married You and Youxiaer" as evidence.

In terms of difference, there are many rangers in Chang'an and Luoyang, while those in Youbin are fierce.

To what field?
If they are not recruited, the frontier army will go out to fight, and they can enter the enemy's territory privately to fight, asking for money but not life.

Of course, there are quite a few rangers who have lost their lives because of this, but isn't the characteristic of this profession of rangers that they despise life and death?
Ha, you said, "House of industry and commerce shall not pre-empt soldiers"?
Recruiting soldiers is meant to break all the rules, and you have to recruit good family sons like a mansion soldier. Is it necessary to recruit additional soldiers?

Everyone knew, even You Xia'er himself, that they had narrow escapes on the battlefield, and they were much more contemptible than the government soldiers.

However, this is the only chance to break free and go ashore!

Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty do not expect to be exempted from the mediocrity of rent, but to be rewarded for killing the enemy!
Die, just die, 21 years is another hero!
The reason for this time is because the 21st year can be recruited as a soldier.

Fan Zheng passed by Dongshi by chance, and saw the bustling outer edge of Dongshi, countless rangers with tattoos on their bodies, regardless of the cold weather, half-exposed their chests, revealing big worms, long worms, eagles, rabbits, mice, and caterpillars on their bodies , There are even those who stab the beauty and the king of Bishamon.

There are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing that can't be tattooed. Even Cao Zhi's "White Horse Chapter", which has 140 characters in the main text, has people tattooing every word on their bodies, showing off tattoos to their companions.

There is also Hanhan, who asked the tattoo artist to tattoo the splendid Changan on his back, but the pain was so painful that he cried and howled. The artist told him that he had only tattooed half of the square.

"Excuse me, who's son, You Bing You Xia. I'm not very satisfied with this sentence. It would be great if I changed it to Chang'an You Xia. It's a pity that the tattoo artist let me go."

"Are you afraid that you didn't give me any money?"

People are hard to break down. Although the group of Rangers is good at fighting, they really don’t have much money. Raising horses and buying horizontal knives have already made their pockets shy. It's the Dong guy's trick, entering the county government is just being punished with a stick, I'm used to it.

There is even a popular saying in the ranger community: A ranger who has not been punished is not a good ranger.

Recruiting soldiers is the most promising way out for rangers.

The ranger, who was used to playing tricks, was a little displeased with Fan Zheng's appearance. Looking at Fan Zheng's scarlet official uniform and the defense with a horizontal knife, he instantly realized that this was the existence they couldn't afford to provoke.

The clothes and colors are all good, the key is that those who have defense must be full-time officials above the doctor, and a snort can make them suffer a few more sticks.

Sun Jiu swaggered into the East Market, brought out the guy in charge of sales from the Beast Charcoal Workshop in Dunhuafang, and saluted Fan Zheng.

The work of the animal charcoal workshop is handed over to the people of Qinglong workshop, but the sales are controlled by this workshop, otherwise it will be too much.

To let them out, one is that the fifth grade is not allowed to enter the market, and the other is to let many rangers see clearly that this is the official.

Regardless of the crowds of rangers applying for recruitment, the proportion of those who can actually be recruited is not high. Most of the rangers still have to hang out in Chang'an City. Fan Zheng is warning them to look at them.

Most rangers understood what this meant, and although they were a little upset, they couldn't do anything about it.

Provoking these guys is equivalent to provoking high officials in the imperial court. Isn't this asking for trouble?

When you come out to hang out, strength and thighs are very important, but what is more important is eyesight. If you don't have that ability, don't force yourself.

Of course, there are also rangers with iron heads. If the companions around you can't hold back, just wait for the stick, gangster, and flow, and you can't even get a flogging.

If Fan Zheng brought the staff from the Beast Charcoal Workshop back to the workshop, the effect would probably be better, but there is a difference in time.

After lunch, I went down to Yamen. The East and West markets entered with three hundred drums at noon, and scattered with three hundred gongs seven quarters before the sun set. The time was not right.

Sun Jiu entered the East Market and bought some dried persimmons, walnuts, chestnuts, fruits and vegetables for Fan Zheng.

Hey, Sun Jiu was not supposed to be in charge of the money, but Lu Yisheng was sent to manage the Dunhua Paper Factory, so he had to let this unreliable old guy manage a small amount of money.

I don't know if it's Sun Jiu's prodigal son who turned his head back, it's not an ear-scraping effect, Sun Jiu, who had a good time, turned his back on his evil ways, and he didn't have any crooked ideas about making money.

Do you know what he said when the prostitute pulled Sun Jiushi?
"Thank you, there are at home."

Fan Zheng cheerfully thought that the masonry master was too famous.

On the contrary, this old man is not particularly good at bargaining when buying items, but the quality can be distinguished very amazingly. Buying a Yanzhou jujube can also distinguish the specific place of origin and the defects of the taste.

This is the result of rich experience, the jujube dealer was so ashamed that he almost buried his head in his crotch.

Compared with the energetic workshops, Dunhuafang is the calmest.

In the past, people were poor and poor, and the people in the neighborhood only cared about making a living. How could they have time to be a ranger?
Has my own Aye already carried the rattan and pulled the bag away, okay?

Rich, tsk, who wants to hang out with a ranger who eats some mutton but also fights with the legs of the mutton, taking the opportunity to escape the order?

No loss of face.

Besides, Dunhua Square is a restricted area for rangers, and Tie Yin and his gang from Yintan Rangers have stumbled here. They are all in Yizhou now, and they have tasted a lot of sweetness.

Tie Dazhuang happily carried his Erlang out to wander around the workshop, with a look of disdain on his face: "A bunch of rangers, what else can they do except fight foolishly? My Dalang can fall from the sky!"

Although it's a bit too much, you still have to admit that Tie Dazhuang's words do make sense.

Fan Zheng's complexion changed slightly, only then did he realize that Feiqi must go to Liaodong to show off his skills.

Turning from the gate of Dingyuan General's Mansion, Fan Zheng hurried to Tie Dazhuang's house.

The residences of officials above the fifth rank are eligible to be called mansions, and the residences of officials below the sixth rank are no different from ordinary people.

Tie Xiaozhuang hung one arm with a smile and teased his eldest brother with one hand, and only withdrew his hand when he saw Fan Zheng.

"What's going on? Got on the glider by yourself again?"

Every time he saw Tie Xiaozhuang's distressed appearance, Fan Zheng wanted to give him a kick.

Now that he is Aye's person, he doesn't know how to be stable at all. How is he different from the crap Tie Xiaozhuang back then?
Tie Xiaozhuang smiled and said, "If you want to go to Liaodong, you can't do it without hurrying up."

Fan Zheng was silent for a while, then patted Tie Xiaozhuang on the shoulder: "Come back alive. Also, you are not allowed to take off from the wooden house."

The plank house we are talking about now is the lookout place in the army's siege. It is replaced by a nest cart. An eight-wheeled cart is used to mount a high pole on a tree, and a pulley is installed on it.

The plank house is five feet high and four feet square, with two holes and four sides.

Fan Zheng was determined not to go into the wooden house, not only because the wooden house was too narrow to move around, but also because the flying cavalry could not be allowed to fly in a large scale.

If a single glider is dispatched, in case of a battle, this is to give away the head.
