Dry Dream

barracks.There was a lot of noise in the barracks, and when General Cheng entered, it immediately became silent.Immediately afterwards, the soldiers quickly stood in two neat rows in front of the bunk and shouted in unison: "Hello, General Cheng!"

"Hehe, okay, okay, there is no need to be formal, just do whatever you want!" General Cheng said loudly with a smile.

All the soldiers laughed in unison, and started to mess around again.

General Cheng took me to the only empty bunk on the left at the end and said, "You can sleep here. Later, the military drum will be played for assembly and lectures. At that time, you must pay attention to the rules of the army. If you violate the military rules, you will be fine." You will be punished with batons."

"Yes." I replied in a low voice, my eyes timidly scanning the various faces in the spacious barracks.They were either whispering, or chewing something in their mouths, or behaved rudely, all of them looked at me with twinkling eyes.

General Cheng suddenly moved closer, and said in a low voice: "These soldiers are rough people, you have to be careful, don't suffer from it."

"Uh, um." I hurriedly turned my gaze back and nodded, but my heart was very uncertain.I've never been in contact with this kind of person, I hope they don't come to provoke me.

General Cheng was still not at ease, he turned around and scanned slowly for a week.Seeing General Cheng's gaze, those soldiers hurriedly looked away as if nothing had happened.

General Cheng frowned and shook his head, then turned to look at me again, and then walked away slowly while warning the soldiers with his eyes.

When General Cheng walked out of the barracks, the sound of footsteps gradually disappeared, and the barracks suddenly became quiet.In the huge barracks, one hundred and ten people all stared at me in unison.More than half of them had malicious smiles on their faces, while the other half kept looking at me with different scrutiny eyes.

I lowered my head nervously, turned around and put the bedclothes on the bunk, staring at me made my hair stand on end.

Suddenly, a figure came over in a flash.I tensed up suddenly, and quickly took a step aside.

The man froze for a moment and said, "Good skill."

I raised my face and saw a red-faced strong man in front of me.He had a square face as hard as a rock, half of his face was full of beards.

"My name is Zhao Yong, may I ask your little brother's honorable name?" He cupped his fists with a smile on his face.

I looked him up and down a few times, this man was full of quack air, and there was no trace of malice in his smile, so I cupped my fists in return and said, "Yan Jingqi."

"Yan Jingqi?" Zhao Yong was taken aback again, "This name is quite familiar..."

"Brother Yan, my name is Fang Dong." A straight-faced, capable-looking soldier sitting next to me clasped his fists and said.

I clasped my fists in return and called Brother Fang.Anyway, they all look older than me, and shouting Big Brother is always right.

"Oh..." Zhao Yong suddenly groaned, as if thinking of something, his eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.

I lowered my head in embarrassment, this Zhao Yong must have remembered who I am.Although it has been almost two years since our family caused a disturbance in the capital, my name must have spread far and wide.Zhao Yong is like a person who has traveled all over the rivers and lakes. It is very common to hear my name.It is not surprising that even poor people know me.This is called "good things do not go out, evil things travel thousands of miles".

Many people in the barracks heard my name, most of them didn't respond, but some people changed their expressions.Those who changed their countenance hurriedly looked away from me, or simply put on their shoes and left the barracks.The soldiers who noticed that those people reacted strangely began to ask about my origin, so the barracks became noisy again.

"Well, my name is Lin Kuo, and everyone calls me 'Big Fatty Lin'. Brother Yan, you look so good-looking, hehe." A big fat man who kept stuffing food in his mouth came over and said vaguely: "Well, look at your delicate skin and tender flesh. Did you disguise yourself as a man and sneak into the military camp to find men? What do you think of me?"

I widened my eyes, swallowed hard, and took another step back.Do you want me to take off my clothes to verify my identity?

"Go, go! Eat yours!" Zhao Yong stood in front of me and pushed Lin Kuo. Fang Dong, who wanted to stand up for me, shut up when he saw this.

"Hey! Don't push me, let me talk to Brother Yan." Lin Kuo stuffed everything in his hand into his mouth, chewed vigorously and clapped his hands, then leaned over with a playful smile and said, "Well, Brother Yan, Judging by your appearance, your family should be quite rich, why did you come to be a soldier?"

"I want to make a contribution." I said defensively.

"Are you fifteen years old? According to Daqi's laws, don't you have to be fifteen years old to join the army?" Lin Kuo asked again.

"I'm seventeen." I said, staring at his actions.

"Are you seventeen? I really can't tell." Lin Kuo looked at me up and down in surprise and said.

I didn't know what to say to him. I was hesitating when I suddenly heard the sound of drums outside the barracks.When the soldiers in the barracks heard the sound of the drum, they quickly put on their military uniforms and ran out. Zhao Yong also hurried back to his bunk to put on his military uniforms.Fang Dong patted me on the shoulder and said, "Change your clothes quickly, if you don't get enough people, you'll be beaten with military sticks!"

"Oh!" I hurriedly responded, and hurriedly untied my belt, took off my coat and changed into my military uniform.

When I just took off my outer pants, there was no one in the barracks.The sound of the drums slowed down slowly, but they were still beating one after another.I started to worry, but the more anxious I got, the more I couldn't wear it.

When I was sweating profusely and pulled out one of the two legs squeezed into the same trouser leg, Fang Dong ran back again, helped me put on the military uniform without saying a word, and then asked me to run after him .

I rushed to the end of a line with the last drum beat, and Fang Dong stood behind me.Looking at the tall and bloated back like a meat ball in front of me, I knew he was Lin Kuo.

There are many generals standing on the general platform in front of them, and the one standing in the middle is the general Yun Qingtong whom he met during the Chinese New Year.I saw his silver helmet and armor, his face like a silver basin, his eyes like lightning, Xiao Su's majesty.

He walked forward slowly, and the armor on his body couldn't help making crisp metal impact sounds as he took steps.When he reached the edge of the stage, he stopped, slowly scanned the crowd of soldiers in the crowd, and began to announce the name of the expedition in a loud voice.

Looking at the majestic Yun Qingtong on the stage, a small star appeared in front of my eyes and in my mind.

When will I be as majestic as he is, commanding all armies?

Judging by his age, he should be on the same level as me, but he can do such a thing!

Yun Qingtong did not say that this expedition was to suppress the rebels, but said that it was to suppress the bandits. It seems that King Hexing's rebellion has not been publicized yet.

After finishing speaking, Yun Qingtong stepped back and replaced General Cheng, who had just led me into the camp, to speak.This time we are talking about military laws and regulations, as well as some daily military orders.

151. Ascetic march

Post time: 06/152010

The generals on the stage stepped forward to speak one by one, and it was almost noon after they finished speaking.The soldiers in the audience stood neatly, in a state of silence, shouting loudly from time to time, quite powerful.

I was a little surprised that none of the officials and eunuchs who entered the camp were seen.

Finally, the lectures were over, and the leaders of each battalion led their own teams to turn around the barracks in an orderly manner, and then they had lunch.

There are four large canteens in the barracks, and soldiers lined up obediently to receive their meals with bowls and chopsticks.Surrounding the queue are officers and soldiers in charge of supervising the army. The supervising soldiers are not allowed to speak or disorderly.

The rice was a tablespoon of white rice and nothing else.And one scoop per person, never give too much.

I held a bowl of rice and frowned slightly and looked around. All the soldiers who had received the rice sat on the benches and ate happily, while those who did not receive the rice would look at the soldiers who had eaten with their lips pursed. Greedy.

Only rice, no vegetables, how to eat?

Someone beside me pulled my sleeve, and when I turned around, it was Fang Dong who was pulling me.I lowered my head and sat beside him, and put a mouthful of rice into my mouth with my chopsticks.

He winked at me, beckoning me to eat quickly.I rolled my eyes and looked at the soldiers who had finished their meal hungrily, and wiped their mouths with a smile on their faces and went back to the barracks, while the soldiers who had received their meals sat down to eat where they had just sat.It seems that this is because there are too many soldiers and not enough seats.

After finally stuffing a bowl of rice, he followed Fang Dong back to the barracks.There was a quarter of an hour of rest after lunch, so I sat on the bunk and asked Fang Dong: "Brother Fang, this meal is not cooked, and there is no food. Do soldiers eat this every day?"

"No, it's impossible for the soldiers to eat this every day." Fang Dong said with a strange smile, "It's because the sons of officials and eunuchs join the army today to take care of everyone to make white rice, and they only eat coarse corn on weekdays. You can't eat coarse corn, but rice bran pancakes. I'm afraid you can't eat that kind of thing at all."

Fang Dong's words made me frown, and I finally understood what General Cheng said at the back door.Zhao Yong listened to my conversation with Fang Dong, and interjected: "Why, have you never eaten coarse corn and rice bran pancakes?"

I looked at Zhao Yong in a blink of an eye and shook his head.

"Poor people eat a lot of rice bran every day, and they can't even eat coarse corn. Rice and flour are eaten by wealthy families. Most of these soldiers come because their families are poor and can't eat. And soldiers are paid, and they can Bring some income to the family." Zhao Yong explained with a smile on his face.

"What are you talking about?" Lin Kuo squeezed over and asked with a smile.

"Tell me about the white rice you ate just now." Zhao Yong replied.

"Hey, don't tell me." Mentioning white rice, Lin Kuo narrowed his eyes with a smile, "My family can only eat white rice once during Chinese New Year, and it's the right time to eat white rice on the first day of joining the army. ! I heard that you can get 5 taels of silver every month!"

Fang Dong turned his eyes away and shook his head, Zhao Yong looked at him curling his lips, I was left with nothing but
