Ba Zhouquanwu is an acquaintance of the Dangqiang people from the Hengshan area. Their tribe is a small tribe with only [-] tents. This year, they are still Xixia people for two generations. life. (Download the full-text e-book for free) Because they are born warriors, they want to protect their families, tribal property and livestock from being robbed by other tribes, and the tribe is not annexed. According to the tradition, they start learning riding and archery at the age of six, and practice martial arts. Fight and live under the leadership of the patriarch and commander.

Quanwu participated in the first battle when he was 14 years old. The opponents belonged to the Dangqiang, but they belonged to Xixia. Whenever disasters or autumn harvests occurred, they would send troops to rob their own tribe's cattle, sheep and food, and even plundered them. population as their slaves.This kind of battle happens many times every year. He can't remember how many enemies fell under his sword, but his companions are getting fewer and fewer.

Such a battle did not happen this year, because the emperor sent his own son. He swept across the entire northeast of Hengshan with only three thousand soldiers and horses, and conquered tens of thousands of tribes in Xixia. The small tribe of Baizhang once followed the prince to send troops to Yulin County. When he came back, he brought back more than 2000 people and more than a dozen carts of property. Many people were sealed off and became a big tribe. Join this army and make meritorious deeds.

Hearing that the prince was recruiting his own army, he immediately signed up. The conditions offered by the recruiters were also very attractive. The military salary was much higher than other troops, and the conditions were generous. As long as he was selected, his family would give him a hundred guan This amount of money is enough to buy a new tent for the family, pay for my brother’s wedding, pay off the old debts owed to the patriarch for many years, redeem my sister, and support my family with my military salary in the future.

There are many people who have the same idea as me. Nearly a hundred people from their clan alone signed up, even the children of the patriarch's family went, but the recruitment conditions are very high.It is necessary to be physically strong and able to ride a horse. Those who are over 20 years old are not required, those who are the only child in the family, those whose parents are old and have no support, and those who lack labor at home. . .Anyway, in the end, only a dozen or so people in their clan were qualified. Because he knew Chinese and had combat experience, he was given priority in admission, which made the people in the clan envious.

Before entering the camp, Quan Wu had heard that the Song army looked down on the Fan people, that they had the worst food, and the most tiring work, and that beatings and scolding were common, and that they had to rush to the front during battles, and those who were rich and powerful could give If the officer gives some gifts, he will be taken care of. Before leaving, my brother beat up two sand foxes and asked him to give the fur to the officer. He told him to be sensible and not to disobey his boss.

But after Quanwu entered the camp, he didn't tattoo his face or arms like other troops, and no one asked him for property. Instead, he took a bath and drank medicinal soup, saying that he wanted to get rid of the parasites on his body first. , and then put on a new military uniform, the only difference from the veterans is that there is an armband missing on the arm.The only thing that puzzled him was that Fan Bing could keep his hair style, but he had to clean it up. He took off the earrings and other headgears, but seeing that everyone was the same, he didn't care.

Quanwu was assigned to the Flying Tiger Camp to participate in the new training. It is said that the training in each battalion is the same. After three months, they will be reorganized according to their individual strengths and needs. The members of their tribe have been separated. There were only four people in the battalion, not in the same town.The recruits in all of them include Han Chinese, Khitans, and Uyghurs. Regardless of race or status, they all wear the same clothes, live in the same house, and eat the same food. The guy sleeping next to him is said to be a millionaire The eldest son of the chief of the great tribe.

Life in the army is very good. They eat white flour made from wheat. Every meal has vegetables and meat. Each person has a big bowl of vegetables, and they can eat whatever they want.Here he ate the legendary white rice for the first time, but he felt that the taste was not as good as white noodles, and it was not as good as the sticky millet rice, but everyone was very satisfied. Although there were sheep at home, but You can't eat it casually. You are only willing to kill one when you have guests at home or during festivals. Usually, you eat corn with sand, wild vegetables picked or wild animals. Besides, there are still wild animals here every ten days. A meal is like a gathering in a clan, and they used to only have a meal when sending troops.

But there are also disadvantages, that is, the officers often talk about hygiene.The military uniforms they issued not only include military uniforms, but also training uniforms, boots, thermal clothing, underwear, socks and other small bits and pieces. In the past, they used to wear leather clothes and a pair of boots at home. Wash and change, boots need to be polished every day, nails can’t grow too long, the boss needs to check every day, and if they are dirty, they will be reprimanded.When you defecate and pee at home, you can do it anywhere, but not here. You have to go to the toilet, and you have to wash your hands after getting up in the morning. You have to wash your face and brush your teeth in the morning. You have to wash your feet before going to bed at night. Phlegm throwing things.

There are also some annoying rules that I have never heard of before, such as folding clothes when not wearing clothes, making quilts into cubes, singing before eating, walking in twos and threes in a row, not allowed to go out casually, If you want to ask for leave, you must salute when you meet an officer. . .Wait, but now after a month, everyone is used to it. It is uncomfortable to see the body dirty. If you don't brush your teeth, your mouth will have some strange taste.

The current training involves standing at attention, taking a break, and walking in the queue endlessly during the day. I don’t feel tired at all, but I feel annoying, and my legs hurt a little.However, the lectures given by the team leader and team leaders at night were very interesting, and let him know that there is a world outside that he has never seen, a life that he has never experienced; he also knows that the people of the whole country are one family, and people of all ethnic groups are equal. I also understand the principles of family, country, and the world, and I know that I am a soldier not only to get military pay and let my family live a good life, but also to resist foreign humiliation and defend my family and country!Hearing these things, Wu Wu felt that being a soldier is also a very noble profession, not just a reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill, a sense of pride rose in his heart.

Today it was Quan Wu's turn to help the kitchen without training, he reported to Huojun on time.They started a team according to the command, and they had to prepare meals for more than 600 people. There were only [-] people in the Huojun who were too busy, and they took shifts from each other to help every day.When he arrived at the kitchen, he and several other people first weighed the meat and vegetables allocated today, and the grain, and then counted them in the notebook and stamped their respective fingerprints. the grain rate.The work of Wujue is very sacred. I represent the brothers in Yidu, and I ensure that these things can be eaten in everyone's stomach, so I do it very carefully.

Quanwu found that there were more things prepared than usual today, so he hurriedly reported to the team leader, who explained to him that there were people from other troops joining the team today, adding more than 100 people, so of course more preparations were required than usual.Quan Wu immediately understood that the military headquarters and the various general agencies did not open fire individually, but went to the nearby commanders to join the group. It is not surprising that they were temporarily transferred to them today.The accounts of the Zhongyongjun Army are all public, and no one can hide their secrets.

After fetching water and washing the dishes, there was nothing to do. He fetched a basin of water and went to the hall to wipe the tables and stools.There is a lot of wind and sand in the northwest, and a layer of soil will fall after rubbing every day. No one can do anything about it, but it is much better than when we first came here, and we don't have to eat in the open air.The canteen was built by the commander and the veterans led the recruits to go up the mountain to cut wood during the rest time. The whole restaurant was piled up with logs, and the seams were hooked with mud. Reed mats were bought and nailed to the wall. The tables and stools are simple, but very clean and tidy, and it has become a place for everyone to eat, attend classes, hold meetings, and entertain.

Seeing that it was noon, Quanwu hurriedly shared the vegetables and soup with everyone into pots, put the cakes into baskets and put them on the table. Just after finishing the work, the dinner signal rang, and immediately after that, he heard a ringing sound in front of the hall door. The sound of orderly footsteps and the sound of passwords one after another, and then everyone began to sing the song before dinner.Quan Wu peeked out through the window, wanting to see who would join the gang today.

"Is it called Wuyi? I am in the same robe as my son. The king Yu Xingshi repaired my spear and spear. I have the same hatred as my son. Is it called Wuyi? I have the same lust as my son. The king Yu Xingshi repaired my spear and halberd. I worked together with my son. Qi Said no clothes? I wear the same clothes as my son. The king Yu Xingshi, repairing our armored soldiers, and walking with my son..."

"Oh, Guards!" Quan Wu was surprised when he looked outside. This group of people who were singing were the Royal Guards. The bloody skulls on the left arms of their black military uniforms showed their identities. These people were all The place that soldiers yearn for is not only because they can see the prince, but also because the essence of the whole army is concentrated there. Not only are they all excellent in martial arts, but they are also good at fighting. A hundred people can resist the attack of thousands of Xixia people. , appears unattainable in everyone's eyes.

"Stinky boy, why are you shouting in surprise?" an 'old' Huojun said without a single slap.

"It's the prince's guards, is the prince also in there?" Quan Wu was still excited, turned his head and asked.

"The one who stands in the front and is the vanguard is the prince. Apart from being handsome and energetic, what's so good about him!" the old Huojun Nunuzui said. After training, after the recruits are divided into battalions, he will at least be a captain.

"You often see the prince?" Old Huo Jun's attitude surprised Quan Wu, it was the prince.

"Tch, my lord grew up in our Zhuangzi when he was a child, and he ran around when he had nothing to do. Who doesn't know him among the veterans here? He even ate at my house!" Old Liu said with disdain, his face But full of pride.

"No, my lord came to your house for dinner, your family is very rich?" All of them believed it.

"Our family can only be regarded as a low-class household in Zhuangzi. It's strange that the prince came to our house to eat. He eats whatever we eat. Did you see the kid next to the prince? He even jumped over the wall of the prince's house. Let's go to the palace to watch a play!" Lao Liu pointed to Erwa.

"My lord is busy now, so I don't see you much. In the past, my lord was with us all day. This time, I'm probably done. I'm going to stay in the camp for a while, so you have to be careful!" Another Huo Jun smirked. See nothing said.

"Why, the lord is still beating and swearing?" He asked without any surprise, could it be that the lord is a smiling tiger.

"It's a good idea to let the prince beat you! The prince doesn't beat and swear easily. If he scolds you and beats you, he thinks highly of you, but hey, hey, you should ask your leaders and commanders, they They were all trained by the prince himself."

"Ah!?" Even if you think about it, you will be beaten with a military stick, whipped, and locked up only if you violate the military law. Generally, the captain and team leaders will not do anything that violates discipline. If you scratch the wall for a while, you will scratch your nails; if you don’t wash your feet, you will wash the socks of the whole group and polish the boots; Running circles and jumping leapfrogs without any trace will make you lose your memory anyway!

"Don't listen to his nonsense. The prince has strict training requirements and can't be a little sloppy, but he is the best at ordinary times, and he gets along with anyone. Look at which unit in the entire army has us eating well, drinking well, and wearing good clothes. Well, your leader has served as a soldier in the 'Four Battalions', you ask him if he would like to go back!" Seeing that he was not nervous at all, Lao Liu quickly comforted him.

"My lord came to eat with us, do you want to add some dishes?" Quan Wu asked again.

"It's the same as what you add. You can just ask Song Qiang to cut some pickles and send them up. The prince likes to eat the appetizer!" Old Liu ordered, "Hurry up, get ready to distribute the bowls and chopsticks!" After talking, everyone sang the song, The queue began to come in, and Lao Liu ordered people to prepare the washed dishes and send them to the on-duty of each group, and he went to arrange positions for the guards.

Quan Wu finished his work and kept staring at the prince. He looked younger than himself. He stood in front of the table like everyone else, waiting for the order to serve dinner. "Sit!" Commander Wang Heng gave an order, and immediately Hearing a sound, everyone sat down, and the on-duty of each group began to distribute meals. He saw that the prince's table was nothing special, it was all scooped out of a basin.

You are not allowed to talk while eating, the prince is the same as everyone else, but he eats fast, scoops up a bowl of soup by himself, drinks it slowly, sees Quanwu staring at him, smiles at him and nods, scared He hurriedly withdrew his eyes, pretending to pack his things in a hurry.

"Old Liu, is this a new soldier?" The people who had finished eating left one after another, and asked without seeing the prince coming over to see him.

"My lord, yes, his name is Quan Wu, and he is here to help cook today!" Lao Liu replied with a salute.

"Oh! How do you feel when you come here? Is there anything you are not used to?"

"Report...to my lord, it's very good here, and I like this new life very much!" The lord was talking to me, and Quan Wuxin jumped twice, but he still didn't forget to salute, and replied loudly, he really liked it. I have already fallen in love with this new life where there is no distinction between Fan and Han, where officers and soldiers coexist harmoniously, with regular daily routines, full food and warm clothes.
