Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 145 (Outside Part) A Recruit

Diao Erdou was an ordinary military household in Liulinsuo.

To the north of Liulinsuo is the Shogunate Mountain, to the south is the moat, and to the west is the Yangtze River.

Diao Erdou was the last soldier to be recruited.

But he had long heard that there was a central Zuo Si in the Xinjiangkou Water Camp, who was always a very profitable person named Yang Chao.

Many people in Liulin Institute know that Yang Chao never withholds military pay, and pays two qian per month without any delay.

Because a few months ago, Yang Chao had recruited troops at the Zuobaihu Camp, south of Liulin Station. Lin Suo knows.

The most important thing is that when recruiting soldiers this time, a soldier from Zuobaihusuo followed. Everyone in Liulin knew this soldier, and they all said that he looked different after not seeing him for a few months. I have grown a lot taller.

At that time, many families in Liulinsuo were called to the ancestral hall by thousands of households. A strange officer came out and shouted that they were from the Zuo Division in the middle of the Xinjiangkou Water Camp, and they were here to recruit soldiers. I talked about the treatment of the company again.

In fact, everyone has heard of it, so there is no need to say more, so many people signed up to serve as soldiers.

But that officer is particularly difficult to talk to, as long as he is the strongest young man, a little thinner, or shorter, he doesn't want it.

There are three brothers in his family, Da Dou, Er Dou and Sandu. His father said that he will not be able to marry everyone a wife in the future. The eldest went to the city early to make a living. Er Dou thinks that his father loves the younger brother more. Sure enough, his father told him to enlist in the army this time.

Diao Erdou was still a little worried at first, worried that he would not be selected and would not be able to marry a wife in the future.

That team pinched Erdou several times. Fortunately, Erdou worked since he was a child, and raised horses and herded cattle for thousands of families. He ate better than others and was fairly strong. , Recorded his name in the military register, and Erdou heaved a sigh of relief.

Then he followed the brigade to walk south along the official road along the Yangtze River, and finally he came to a big camp. house.

Diao Erdou did not expect that he could live in a brick house in his life, and he could also cover it with a thick quilt. Hearing that there was really cotton in the quilt, this made Diao Erdou feel a little incredible. If everyone can have a quilt, how much would it cost?

The next day, Diao Erdou was called to line up again. He was no stranger to queuing. When he returned to the camp yesterday, the officer asked them to line up. Diao Erdou was very fortunate that he was not beaten all the way.

After lining up, Diao Erdou saw an officer holding a roster and began to read his name.

"Wang Sanwang, Wang Sanwang of Wangjiabao, come out!"

The officer shouted, and that stupid Wang Sanwang walked out of the queue and walked over in a daze.

The officer pointed to a soldier wearing a new-looking jacket and said, "He will be your captain from now on. You stand beside him."

Wang Sanwang groaned, and stood behind the soldier.

"Zhou Ding, Zhou Ding from Sanli, not Zhou Ding from Zhoujiabao, come out!"

Diao Erdou watched as the officer called out the soldiers one by one, and then let another officer lead them, hundreds of them slowly separated.

"Diao Erdou!"

"To!"

Diao Erdou is very smart. He heard the officer say yesterday that he must answer his name when he is called, otherwise he will be punished with a stick.

He didn't want to eat sticks, so he remembered all the rules about eating sticks very firmly yesterday.

"Exit!"

"Yes!"

When Diao Erdou walked out of the queue, he also saw the officer nodding to him. He felt joy in his heart. It seemed that the officer liked him.

Diao Erdou suddenly felt that his future was bright. He has always been well-behaved. He has herded cattle for Qianhu's family since he was a child, and Qianhu also liked him. Later, he asked him to raise horses, but Qianhu's horses were sold, and he went home. Yes, it happened to be this recruitment, so he followed.

Based on his experience, as long as the master likes it, he will have a good life.

"This is your captain, go and follow him."

"Yes!"

Diao Erdou also stood behind an officer. At this time, there were already seven or eight soldiers standing behind the officer. Diao Erdou secretly looked at the captain.

I feel that at the most 20 or [-] years old, and definitely not more than [-] years old, I have already become a team leader.

But Diao Erdou felt that this team was a little strange, his body was standing upright all the time, and his eyes flickered. Diao Erdou understood this expression, as if he was nervous. This was the first time he went to Qianhu's house. He was so tense that he couldn't say a word. .

Soon all the soldiers were assigned to a team, and at this time the team started to shout orders to get everyone to line up.

Some people didn't line up well, the team was good-tempered and helped them correct it very well. It was much better than the officer who recruited yesterday. The officer yesterday knew how to fight.

Diao Erdou didn't let the team worry, he imitated the appearance of the people in front, standing very neatly, the officer walked past him, and went to help other soldiers after only one glance.

After being lined up, the team was leading them to a corner near the gate. At this time, this place was already crowded with groups of soldiers. This was the largest open space in the barracks, and walking inside was the reclaimed land.

"You have three days to learn the military posture. I will teach you every day for these three days. If anyone can't learn it after three days, don't blame me for being rude."

The team was holding a wooden stick in his hand. The wooden stick was as thick as a child's arm. It looked like the white wax shaft of a spear, but it was broken.

Sure enough, the team was saying: "This is the barrel of the gun that I messed up. Anyone of you who wants to test whether it is hard or not can try it. Don't practice hard these few days. I want to see if it is so hard. The barrel of the gun is hard!"

The team continued, "Stand at attention!"

No one moved, only Duizheng immediately stood up straight, pointed to his head and said: "You should raise your head and look straight ahead."

Pointing to his chest, he said, "The chest should stand up and exceed the chin."

Pointing to his stomach: "The abdomen should be flattened, not protruding."

He patted his buttocks again: "The buttocks must be raised, not pouted."

Pat the legs: "The legs should be clamped tightly, and the flesh should be stretched straight."

Pointing to the feet: "Heels together, toes apart."

Finally, Dui Zheng put his hands on both sides of his body: "Hands drooping, close to the thighs!"

Diao Erdou listened carefully. He felt that these were not difficult, and he felt that he would learn them well soon.

Soon the team is getting each of them to stand.

Then they taught them one by one. If anyone said that their legs were not straight, Diao Erdou straightened his legs and changed his posture. Whoever's belly is not enough, Diao Erdou will shrink his belly.

When Diao Erdou was around, Diao Erdou felt very uncomfortable, the flesh on his body was tense and a little sore.

However, Diao Erdou felt that he was good enough, and thought that the team didn't need to teach him, but the officer walked up to him and shook his head, saying that Diao Erdou's head, chest, abdomen, buttocks, legs and feet were all in order, and he patted his body to help him one by one. After correcting, he went to help the soldiers next to him.

The first failure made Diao Erdou quite disappointed. Fortunately, everyone did something wrong, so Diao Erdou felt a little more at ease.

Diao Erdou still didn't learn well the next day, but he secretly wrote down all the essentials, and when he returned to the barracks at night, he practiced extra by himself and asked his companions to watch for him.

On the third day, Diao Erdou became the best soldier in the whole team, only his hip was not straightened once.

This made Diao Erdou feel a little proud. He likes this feeling, he is used to being recognized by people of higher status than him, and he likes to do better than Biere.

But Diao Erdou had another feeling, the same feeling as other soldiers, and that was tiredness.

Fortunately, the treatment in the military camp is very good, and he can eat enough food every day. Diao Erdou can basically eat three bowls of rice and a plate of dried vegetables for each meal. And because he mastered the training skills quickly, he was rewarded with a meal of braised pork. He felt that it was the best meal he had ever eaten in his life. It turned out that the meat was so delicious.

Diao Erdou made up his mind that he would eat meat every time in the future, and he would do his best every day.

But even if he practiced secretly every day, Diao Erdou still found that he couldn't be rated as the best every day.

But Diao Erdou won the favor of the captain, and often talked with him about some military affairs.

Diao Erdou was surprised by the youth of the captain, who was actually one month younger than the 17-year-old Diao Erdou.

Diao Erdou felt incredible that the team had no relationship with the chief of the army.

Diao Erdou couldn't figure out what the adults were thinking. If it was Diao Erdou, he would definitely promote his relatives to promote his subordinates. If he had no relatives, he would take in a few godsons, or sworn brothers.

The team is a few months, even a few days ago, he was just a small soldier. He was able to become the team leader because his training skills were rated as excellent, and he had killed Jiang bandits. According to the reward given to him by the general, He and another soldier beheaded a level together, and they were promoted only after they were combined.

There is no nepotism in the army, and the ethos that one can be promoted without worshiping a godfather makes Diao Erdou yearn for it.

But Diao Erdou was a little worried about killing the enemy and doing meritorious deeds to be rewarded.

Like other soldiers in their team, Diao Erdou also liked to listen to Duzheng's story of killing Jiang Bandit. After listening to Duzheng's story several times, Diao Erdou finally dispelled his fear.

The team is saying that killing people is just that, just stab them with a gun and stop them, and it's over.

But Diao Erdou heard that it is still early to practice martial arts. They must at least stand in a military posture, contact Zhuanbu, learn to walk, and then practice martial arts. After practicing martial arts, they have to practice formations. So many The training made Diao Erdou a little worried.

Diao Erdou's military career started from worrying about gains and losses.
