Chapter Ninety-Seven: Kim Hee's Troubles
Jin Xi's recent life has been a little tangled, and there are more officials above him, and he doesn't know who to listen to. He is a poor flag soldier from outside the border, he doesn't know a few big characters, and everything is arranged by the masters. He hadn't seen the eldest master of Zuoling a few times, but the second master of the Xiao Riding School was very familiar with him. The two families live closely, and when Jin Xi is at home, he often goes to the second master's house to help out. At the beginning of the year, the second master said that there were people in the pass who rebelled, and the emperor master, the master of all the banner people, let the flag soldiers outside the pass enter the pass to fight. Jin Xi didn't know anything about national affairs, so the second master let him go and followed him into the customs.
The prosperity of Gyeonggi has intoxicated Kim Hee for a long time, and Kim Hee can't say exactly what is good, but it is good. Outside the gate, you have to walk hundreds of miles to meet a village, and here there is a village for a dozen or even a few miles, and there are people everywhere. There are all kinds of rare things, no more than the outside of the pass, except for the crops, the forest is the grass, and the street market here is bustling and lively. But Jin Xi didn't have any silver, so he couldn't afford anything, so he could only watch the excitement. The second master said that when the battle was over, the master would reward him with silver, and he would be able to bring things to the family at that time. Jin Xi has been looking forward to that day, but the second master did not wait for the day when he went home.
The second master said that they didn't have to fight the most ferocious bandits in the south, but just beat a dozen small bandits in the Central Plains. Then Zuo Ling went to a place called Henan, which was also very prosperous, but there were officials and bandits. Zuo Ling fought a total of two battles, and the first battle and the second master returned to heaven. The second battle was a horse race, and the horses they rode from outside the pass almost did not run past the horses inside the pass. How many people died was a matter of the eldest master, Jin Xi didn't know, he knew that his Zhuan Da was dead. But there are also good things, Jin Xi has become a new specialist, and there are more opportunities to talk to the old man.
Later, they stayed in many places, but the locals were tired of them as if they wanted to deal with the plague. Every time, it was a toss by the elder Zuo Ling begging his grandfather to tell his grandmother, so that he could barely give everyone some subsistence rations. Fortunately, the eldest master ate well by himself, and he could reward Goshha beside him with wine and meat, otherwise the army's morale would be chaotic.
Later, there was an order, Long Live Lord wanted to transfer 300 people to a leader in the south to command, and Jin Xi's leader and another leader of the Mongolian Eight Banners were selected. The leader of the Mongolian leader is called Bo Ritu, and he is a guy with a lot of eyes, not like a Mongolian at all. After the two divisions met, the rations received by Jin Xizuo always ran into the bowl of the Mongols inexplicably. However, Master Zuo Ling was not angry, he and Bo Ritu had known each other for a long time, and the relationship between the two was very good. The eldest master is not in a hurry, and Jin Xi and the others can only endure it.
After a lot of hardships, they finally found the leader in the south, but their eldest lord seemed to be a little crazy, and as soon as they met, they arrested their eldest lord and the eldest lord of Bo Ritu. Without the second master, there are a few veteran masters in the collar, especially the two who are new to the city. They gathered the experts and prepared to go to the madman to ask for someone, and they wanted to get their own lord back, and there were also a lot of people gathered on the Mongolian side. But before they could make a move, the southern leader had already sent someone to split and reorganize them.
Of course, the old qualifications did not agree, and the sword soldiers were moved to the south. There were so many of them, and the boundless people surrounded Jin Xi and the others. Kim Hee and his brothers had also been on the battlefield and were not afraid of them, but they used not only muskets but also cannons. The five new leaders of the two assistants wanted to negotiate and let them let the two big masters go first, but Nanbian did not agree. They said that they had been ordered by the Lord of Banzai and that they had no need to discuss, and that they would either be obedient or they would kill everyone according to the rebellion. Later, the people in the south really shot, and Jin Xi followed Da Yu obediently.
Everyone resisted like that, Jin Xi thought that he would be very unlucky after the split and reorganization, but after the real split and reorganization, life was better. Although I have to undergo some strange training with some unknown people every day, I eat very well, with vegetables and meat, and better yet, I am full. After two days of training, Jin Xi became the squad leader because of his obedience and excellent training performance, and he had eleven brothers under his control. There is an old man called the instructor, who will come to chat with them when he has nothing to do, and will bring hot water to soak their feet at night, and teach them to read and write while soaking their feet. Jin Xi was moved to death, no master had ever been so kind to him, if the instructor asked him to die now, he would be willing.
However, the instructor did not let him die, but asked them to train well, saying that this is the ability to save their lives and kill the enemy, and whether they can live a good life in the future depends on this. The instructor also told Jin Xi that a few months ago, he was a banner soldier who was barely fed, and he became a master by fighting well, and Jin Xi could become a master as long as he worked hard. Of course, Jin Xi wants to be the master, but he knows that this day will not last long, and he will have to go back to the unpopulated gate sooner or later.
On the third day of training, a bigger man came, very old, with a lot of beard. He announced in public the good news that Jin Xi couldn't sleep with joy, as long as the flag soldiers outside the gate can make meritorious contributions, their crazy old man will play the court to move the flag soldiers and their families to the gate.
After fifteen days of intensive training, everyone finally had a day of rest, and although they were also active in the camp, it also made the exhausted soldiers cheer. Jin Xi didn't go out to meet friends, but practiced calligraphy in the barracks by himself, he liked to write very much, and the instructor said that to be a master, you must be able to write. Jin Xi's words didn't last long, and a figure he hadn't seen for more than ten days disrupted his life. He was accustomed to the present life and was full of hope for the future, but he could not refuse the words brought by this shadow, and his dreams for the future were shattered.
The eldest lord of his own family was released, and he asked Pashku, who was in charge of himself, to bring a message, secretly gather his own manpower, and prepare to return to the north at any time. Jin Xi was a little puzzled, didn't the south say that he had been ordered by holy order? Pashiku also gave the answer, the south itself has the crime of rebellion, so he detained the two lords, and now the two lords are going to escape with everyone and report the south. Since Jin Xi was sensible, his family told him that the words of the eldest master are heaven. Jin Xi, who has been unconditionally obedient for more than 20 years, although he is reluctant, can only put down the branches that practiced calligraphy on the ground and walk out of the barracks.
Several of his subordinates were scattered, and Jin Xi also searched for a long time to find all of them. Several people are doing well enough, and one has also become a class leader. Knowing Jin Xi's intentions, they reacted differently but were always reluctant, especially the one who became the squad leader, almost jumping up from the stool. Later, Jin Xi mentioned the family members of his hometown, and they had to bow their heads. Jin Xi, who has been walking for a long time, is also a stomach full of grievances, he doesn't want to leave, there is good food and drink here, and he can still have a future as an official, who wants to leave to drink the northwest wind?
"Money fans, why are you sad, who bullied you? Tell my brother that my brother will avenge you! "Wealth fan is the nickname given to Jin Xi by the instructor, and the instructor said that his name is happy when he sees gold, and he must be a wealth fan.
"Instructor!" Jin Xi said hello with some guilt, he knew in his heart that what he was doing was to create this instructor who took care of him very much.
"Why are you so unhappy! I didn't go to the medical platoon to wander around, there were female soldiers there, and those wild boys went to make a mistake! ”
When Guo Xing'a raised eyebrows for cadres above the battalion level, there were a few left, and they were all assigned to the medical platoon as nurses. After all, women are careful and ingenious, much stronger than big men, and they have to do well, so Guo Xing'a simply gave them the status of female soldiers. Although military law is strict, no one dares to do anything to them. But there were women in the battalion, and as soon as the idle soldiers had free time, they naturally gathered around the door of the medical platoon and pretended to be sick. After letting go of their feet and firing guns, the nurses who were the first wave of liberated women in the Qing Dynasty also got better, and after mixing for a long time, they naturally integrated into their new identity. From time to time, there will be bold nurses and fake patients at the door to laugh a few words, which has attracted countless wild bees and butterflies.
"I still want people to save my life! If you offend someone, you won't be able to get two more shots in the future. Kim Hee smiled bitterly. These words were what the instructor had told him before, and for the first time he knew that if he was sick or injured, someone would come to save him, and that human flesh and skin could be sewn up like clothes.
"You kid just can't wipe his face! Ha ha...... Actually, it's okay to joke a few words, it's a joke! Hurry up and have fun! Tomorrow I will start practicing for another half a month, and it is estimated that the adults will go on the expedition again, and it will not be so easy at that time. The instructor said with a hippie smile.
"I'm going to go on a journey!" Although he knew that he would not have the opportunity to go out again, Jin Xi was still worried about the instructor and the soldiers in his class, and he knew the bloodshed and cruelty of the battlefield.
"You're scared!" The instructor craned his neck and looked at Kim Hee.
"No, I'm ......" Kim Hee didn't know how to explain.
"It's okay! I'm afraid, what's the big deal, I've seen a cannonball in front of my eyes, and I'm walking a gun on my brain, who is not afraid! The instructor patted Kim Hee on the shoulder absentmindedly.
"No......" Jin Xi seemed to be covered by someone, and a thousand words were held in his heart.
"I used to be scared, and I almost ran out of urine the first time. You! Just pee once! Haha...... "The instructor always has a heartless smile.
"Don't worry! Since the Lord took over the leadership, we have never lost a battle, and it is normal for us to fight a hundred people with long hair and a thousand people, not to mention that we are still cavalry. I have calculated that since the first battle of our cavalry, the number of brothers who have lost one piece is not enough for ten. "The instructor bragged and deliberately didn't say anything about the number of injured.
"That's amazing!" Kim Hee was really shocked.
"How else can I lie to you? You just wait to get the silver reward for military merit! The instructor squeezed his nose at Kim Hee and winked.
"Silver?" Jin Xi vaguely remembered the bounty system, but privately felt that it was coaxed by the big men.
"Say you're a money fan! Forty percent of the silver captured by our leaders each time is the reward of the whole army, thirty percent and five percent are divided according to the head, and half of the money is given to people with special military merits. I said it when I talked about the system, you kid doesn't take the lecture seriously! The instructor repeated the system one more time.
"Can you really give it?" Jin Xi has been deceived by his own master more than once.
"It's all clear accounts, and this part of the money has been kept in the treasury and has not been touched, don't worry!" The instructor shook his head and smiled.
"That's great!" Jin Xi became more and more reluctant, he knew that the bounty of one battle was enough for him to buy many things for his family.
The instructor laughed for a while, and was called away by a company commander. It was the commander of another company, but the instructor called him Big Brother. Jin Xi sat alone outside the barracks in a daze, reluctant left and right, until a figure sneaked over.
"The lord has an order, and the third watch will be done in two days!"
